“Great place. Sat at bar. Was busy but bartender never missed a beat!“

“most beautiful wedding“

“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!“

“Wow! I can’t say enough about how good breakfast just was! We started with fresh really hot coffee. My friend had the creamed chipped beef which he said was delicious. I had eggs which were cooked just right, yummy hot home fries and crispy bacon. The toast was even toasted to perfection and the bacon just the way I like it, crispy! Looking forward to eating there again. Our server was excellent. What more could you ask for? ❤️“

“First time there and we were surprised by the friendly cozy place!! Excellent food too!“

“Our experience at the hotel last night was great. We sat at the bar and got some food and drinks. Our bartender, Katie was excellent! She was kind, and was very good at her job. Some people just have it and she definitely had it! very professional at such a young age. Kudos to Katie!“

“Jen’s food is beyond incredible. It’s FRESH, hot and delicious. I order trays of them twice a year for family gatherings - no one has ever been disappointed. The dessert empanadas are so tasty, and the perfect sweetness. If you’re lucky and she’s making zeppoli, get those fast!!

But the rice balls. The rice balls. Holy moly, the cheese in the middle is gooey and melty, and add that marinara sauce 😍 I wanted to drink it with a straw.

Follow the train. Go to the outlets. Whatever way you do - eat Jen’s empanadas and rice balls. They will not disappoint“

“MACS surprised me! Needed a quick lunch and wandered in here. They have different pots full of mac and cheese with all kinds of different toppings and combinations. They also have salads. I got the loaded potato mac and cheese which was awesome. It had mac and cheese and potatoes and sour cream and bacon and cheese and just deliciousness. The place is in the lobby area of Kalahari resort and has a few tables to sit at. The girl working behind the counter was fantastic. Very energetic and enjoyed the banter about sports teams!“

“Very nice place and delicious food 🍱“

“Came to visit, found new friends and saw a great band. Will be back again!!!!“

“Food is fantastic, great place if you never been“

“Best cheesesteaks in Poconos!“

“Great service, friendly waitress. Excellent and reasonably priced.“

“My husband and I really miss Friendly's. We saw the sign and said let's get lunch. They nolonger have the parry melt, my favorite and my hubby love mozzarella sticks. They used to have tiny ones that were fantastic. The new mozzarella was good. The food was good, the service was slow and it was freezing inside. The bathroom was clean, that is always a plus. I would go back again and bring my winter coat. 😆“

“Great food & great employees.“

“I have been coming to this diner for many years I love the food and the owners and all the employees are friendly You will not be disappointed ! They serve breakfast all day which is what I love also If you are in the area stop by and give them a try ❤️“

“excellent food and aervice !! loved the cheesesteaks!“

“Often times, these smaller road side food stands go unnoticed because the franchised fast food places are dotted everywhere. After a long day at the Crossings, we saw the long line and decided to give it a go. Something quick and familiar, we ordered an 8” cheesesteak that sign mentioned a 1/2 pound of meat, $9.25. A cheeseburger on seeded roll with ketchup, $5.25. And added a bundle of great French fries with a fountain drink, refillable, $4.99. What’s not to love? ❤️ The young gal at the window with the big smile, Nakayla, was pleasant and friendly. Right off of Route 611 in Tannersville, pull in, order, eat and pull out. Take a seat at the multiple wooden picnic tables along business and even a wooden ship play spot for the kiddos.“

“we had a great meal at Barley Creek! The food was delicious, came out timely, and our server (Jake) was amazing! I do reccommend getting there early as there seems to always be a wait on the weekend days!“

“Enjoyed my breakfast very fast and wonderful service definitely going back“

“Great customer service. Very friendly atmosphere. The apps we had were yummy!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere. I enjoy my repeat visits and I absolutely love the food.“

“The food was delicious and our waiter Alfredo was great!“

“I wanted to review on Google because the rating is unfairly low. We went to Log Cabin during our stay at Camelback and it was fantastic. I didn't realize they were just about to close but they sat us and were very attentive. Tabitha was an amazing server and deserves the highest tips. Do not sleep on the crab cake sliders, they are to die for. Everything we had was great and all the staff were extremely friendly and fun. My only issue is we don't live closer!“

“This is our second time visiting the area over the past few years, and on our first trip my husband asked locals where they like to eat—their go-to family spot. Several people recommended Smuggler’s Cove, so we had to try it.

Our first visit was a great experience. It was a Friday night, and the seafood specials were amazing (their seafood really is incredible!). Our server was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

We came back again on this trip—also on a Friday—and it was just as wonderful. We were greeted at the door by a gentleman who may have been the owner. He was so warm and kind, and even offered my 8-year-old daughter a small toy from a prize tray along with a balloon, which absolutely made her night.

After we were seated, our server Rachael came right over to take our drink and appetizer orders. Once again, the Friday “Shellabration” specials were outstanding—another fantastic meal. Rachael was one of the most genuine and friendly servers we’ve ever had dining out as a family. If you go, definitely ask for her—she’s the best!

Dining here brings me back to when I was younger, going out to dinner with my family at our parents’ favorite spot. It’s warm, inviting, and comfortable—the kind of place that reminds you what a family dinner out should feel like.

This is a must-visit for us every time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!!“
