Portion sized were a little small.
All sandwiches stated they came with chips. I was thinking house made chips.It was just a bag of lay's potato chips.
The service was a little slow, but our server was super nice.

I live in NJ and whenever I come to PA I make sure to pass by here for their classic white American cheeseburger. To die for, seriously love this place. Best burgers ever!

We really cannot even give this place a rating. We were ignored by the 2 females working for over 10 minutes...we sat at the bar and watched them greet other people and actasmid we were not even there!!! This place needs some help with customer service ...i am so grateful we do not live around here if that is how service is ..

Was there a couple weeks ago and it was busy and slow but good and we decided it was a place we'd go back to often. Tonight, not so much. Again we were told upfront it was slow but we sat and waited to order drinks. And waited and waited and then a couple came in that one of the servers clearly knew and they had their drinks immediately. We walked out and won't like be back. At Jubilee right now instead. Burkes A1 burger last time was excellent and the Cuban was really good also. So if you don't mind waiting and people being served before ypu because they are friends of the staff, go for it, it was good.

I would warn people if you are a tourist and have more than 6 people in your group don't bother going here. My family and I came into the tavern around 6. It was pretty empty when we got there only a few people at the bar and a couple tables outside. We were asked if we had a reservation we said no, they said there was another 10 top who had a reservation but weren't there yet so they sat us. The waitress..I don't know if she was new or just didn't know how to take people's orders because instead of going down the line like a normal person she kind of went like a ping pong ball and went back and forth several times. She did tell us because we were a big group that it may take 25-30 min for the food. We said ok sure no problem. We waited for about an hour before anyone's food came out. Almost everyone's food came out and it was out of order.. One person would get a chili and another person got a corn dog and then another chili and then a burger.. It was really weird. I had ordered a French onion soup and I didn't see that for about an hour and a half. Meanwhile about 40 minutes after we sat down the other 10 top finally got there. Somehow even though they got there after us they managed to get their food before us. I don't understand that. My parents and I were the last to receive our food and that is only AFTER I went to the bar to ask for the manager which really didn't do much good. The manager was very defensive and kept making up excuses to why our food was late. I explained to her what all had happened ahd she said I already said sorry for that. So she was being extremely rude. When I went to the restroom my cousins bf went up to pay and the manager tried to play nice by asking where we were from and all that. She tried making excuses about how we didn't have a reservation and that a cook went home early and that they had a lot of tables to take care of and she said but that's not your fault, my cousins bf said well you are making it sound like it is, she apparently didn't expect that because she made him repeat that. Honestly she did make it seem like it was our fault for our experience. Between the wait, the service, the management and the food I would never go back. How are we as tourist supposed to know we are supposed to make a reservation for a group of 6 or more? It's a tavern for God's sake. It was also not busy at all when we got there so didn't think anything of it. My aunt mentioned the fact that the manager should do something for the whole table for the inconvenience of having to wait and again she got super defensive. Instead of giving 20% off the entire table or comping everyone's meals she picked and chose to take off the appetizers. She did take off my parents and my meal though but I think she only did so because I said you either cancel the order or you give it to us free. By the time my parents and I got our food it had been a full 2 hrs since we arrived at the tavern. I ate the French onion soup there and it was OK, not worth the wait if I'm honest. I told the waitress that I was at that point going to take the rest home with me. In addition my mom has diabetes and blood sugar issues. Had my moms blood sugar not been OK we would have had serious issues. The waitress never even came to check about drink refills once the whole time we were there. I think they were more worried about the bridal party 12 top out on the deck. The entire experience was frustrating and disappointing and honestly left all of us pretty mad. We were all fuming by the time we left. So beware if you go here.

Waited 45 minutes, asked for service, and finally had the entire table glare at our waitress before we could order our food...while people arriving after us got immediate service.

Then the food: overcooked burgers, cold fries, and the server confronting us about our reviews. Unprofessional, unskilled, no reason to go.

As for Christine Dugan's comments about my party of 6, the server confronting us about our negative reviews realized we know how restaurants work, told us she wanted to pay for our meals after we asked for the bill repeatedly and how would the one table and two bar customers know about an out of state group who have only been in town 4 or 5 days and have paid for acceptable service and edible food.

Sorry Christine, none of us will remove our reviews because you have no grounds for your comments.

Waited 45 min.to place an order and the rest of my party arrived 20 min. Before me.They tried to walk up to the bar to place an order for apps.and they were ignored
Thats 1hr.5 min.
I went to bar to get my own non-alcoholic drink.
If you can't tend bar and wait on tables at the same time DON'T.
I watched people walk in get served at the bar while our party of 6 just sat waiting.
I WILL NOT BE BACK.
OH
and i haven't even tried the food yet

Soooooo......
They clearly can't temp burgers
Three were well done should have been med rare. The fries were cold
I ate 1 cut my burger sent it back.

And then Bria the bartender/server
Who was slurring her words asked one of our party members if she posted that she was drunk.
How inappropriate to approach
Someone for thier review.(freedom of speech)
I then asked 9 times for our bill
She said she was gunna pay it so we left.
I have been in the restuant bussiness for years on both sides.

Not to mention we are her for work not even from here so to the the other comment is invalid....

So I would be Karen from party of 6
AND DON'T WORRY WE WON'T BE BACK 😘

Excellent service! Fantastic bartenders and servers with amazing customer service! I was in the bar when a crazy, insane, rude table of 6 caused a scene, just so they could run out without paying their bill. Everyone in the place commented the word on the street is this happens often with that party. Restaurant owners, beware!

If you’re considering this place, absolutely come! Sit back, relax, enjoy the amazing company, food and vibe!

To: Karen & Co — byeee ✌️

Came in with a group of 6 and got told it was 45 minutes on food wait... But the bartender had too many people she completely ignored us.. and 2 of us had to get their drinks themselves.. and another 15 minutes having the definitely drunk bartender, asking if we were ready after well over an hour... Still never had food
Edit---
So now that we had our food 2 hours later,, the bartender,, came over and just called me by name and confronted me about my review.. not even counting the cold fries and the overcooked food...
NEVER AGAIN
