“We loved the food at the Tom X pub! It was delicious The cons; the bartenders during the day are MIA and the place was dead. Not one occasion, BUT two. And two different bartenders. One bartender forgot numerous items we ordered. Another time, a bartender was doing shots with customers at the bar. It’s a shame because the food is so good, but due to the lack of good service, we probably won’t be back.“

“Lunch, ice cream, and lots of playing in the pirate ship! The ladies were so sweet and helpful. We asked for the cones in a cup and they actually filled the cone with ice cream, which was great. So glad this local spot is open (and improved!) after so many years!“

“My wife and I travel around the country living in vacation rentals. While in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, we came across this Diner. It's more like a New York type Diner than any place we've been in our travels. My wife have the French onion soup, and I had fish and chips. The French onion soup was very good according to my wife, and the Fish and Chips were okay. I asked for the french fries to be well done, and they were barely done. The fish however what's good.

The environment was what you would expect from a diner, so no surprises there. The service was very good, we were seated immediately, ain't that plenty of time to review the menu. The prices were pretty good as well.“

“I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Firstly the temperature outside and inside was well balanced and I thought the varnishing of the bar complimented this greatly.

“If I had to choose a last meal on earth it would be from here. So what if you have to sit by the side of 209 - look the other direction. This food is love.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ every time I visit my son we order food to be delivered from this restaurant. Well slice delivery driver took it to the wrong place and delivered it, and it went missing! Well, this restaurant owner felt so bad that they actually made us our food and delivered it within 15 minutes and made it right and I think that’s highly honorable! Their food is so delicious! From now on we’re ordering directly from them, no more middleman!“

“Yum, loved our dinner and will be back“

“Just got home from a fantastic dinner at TK’s Bar and Grill on Rt. 611 in Mt. Bethel, PA. Tonight we had Chicken Francaise with Linguine and a TKs Loaded Burger with Onion Rings. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous and the service was excellent. This is the second time we have eaten there this month. Additionally, the prices are far more reasonable than other eateries in our area. There were several tables available at 7pm which was sad because the food, price and friendly service were exceptional. We need to support our local businesses!“

“The food was decent. We got the corned beef sandwich which was ok however the meat was tough. The Asian chicken salad was better but not cool to use shredded lettuce for sandwiches. Otherwise it tasted fine. Overall the portions were rather large but the price a bit steep. 50/50 chance of returning if ever in that area again.“

“Tried this establishment last night for dinner and was NOT disappointed!!!! Portion sizes are great for the price and the food is delicious! We each had enough for 2 dinners! Will be back!“

“my friend and I really enjoyed our food- i had the half rack of ribs w/fries, side salad & soup. She got the parmesean crusted chicken, sweet potato, side salad & soup. I know it's August but it was FREEZING in there!!! I used my walker to get in, which i always do, and it took a bit for them to send a server over because they couldn't figure out what to do with my walker, which is why I knocked it down a star. I'm not really sure about the handicap accessibility because the tables weren't spread apart enough for my walker to get through to get to the restroom unless I moved them out of the way, which I did. so that was unpleasant. the bathrooms were clean.
the best part was Justin our server. love, love, LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!! if I ever end up going back, I'd request him as my server. he was upbeat, pleasant, always checking in, made sure we were okay. when we got in, I was really dizzy and asked if he had any pickles so the room would stop spinning, he disappeared and was back with pickles before he even took our drink order! he doesn't know it, but I don't produce salt so I was on the verge of needing my emergency injection and he kept me from passing out. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 he needs all the stars, recognition and promotion.
we absolutely love Justin.

THANK YOU JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!“

“respectful amd fast service despite the place being short. our waitress was on her A-Game“
