50 Best American Restaurants near Old Forge

“Excellent food, great service and always pleasant!“

“First time trying Club 17 tonight 3/17/23. Absolutely awesome. The red pizza was some of the best I’ve had in Old Forge. Light, crispy and flavorful sauce. The fresh tomato and garlic pizza was equally amazing. Super fresh ingredients and the garlic was the perfect amount. The star of the show for me though was the Rigatoni Abruzzi with hot sausage. It’s done in a light creamy tomato sauce with roasted red peppers, hot Italian sausage and just the right amount of chili flake. Everything was awesome and we got it to go. I’m sure it would be even better sit down in the restaurant which we will certainly be trying in the near future. Highly recommend.“

“The wing bites are amazing and the penne vodka was delicious (I asked for mine to be spicy and it was nicely done). The portions are incredibly generous. The employees were kind and helpful with suggestions. The environment was great especially if your a sports lover (I am not) only downfall was no jukebox or pool table and you can't smoke or vape and thats understandable. I personally will be getting my pasta from there from now-on.....“

“I got 2 trays of red pizza with anchovies & the pizza was Absolutely Scrumptious. Pizza was phenomenal. Loved it! Everything was perfect even though I ordered out. Order was ready when I got there & just the smell, I couldn't wait to get home to have a piece. Sheer Perfection.“

“I wasn't sure what to expect from the name of the place but our dining experience was fantastic! I would say it is an upscale place; it has a large bar and the service was wonderful. I would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.“

“Went here on Valentines Day and it was Great!!! Food, service and atmosphere perfect!!! Another fantastic restaurant in Pittston!!!“

“Outstanding Service - Fabulous Food. Highly recommend the Peanut Butter Smash Burger. Great atmosphere, they were streaming Next Level Chef episode when Chef Von won with his smash burger. If I lived in Scranton I'd be there once a week for lunch.“

“To start the service I received was above and beyond excellence. I placed a take out order and from the moment the man behind the counter learned my name he addressed me as such there forward. That simple act made the experience go from being a normal customer to feeling like I was a local and I had been coming here my whole life. When placing my order any question I could have was answered before I could even think of it. The order was made in great time even though the place was pacted. The food itself was delicious and perfectly cooked.“

“first time at your restaurant and the food was fabulous! definitely will be back“

“The absolute BEST footlong hot dogs!!!! The people there are so nice, too...“

“10 out of 10 recommend Fork N Bowl. My grandson has celiacs and it was a stress free experience. No worries about cross contamination because EVERYTHING is gluten free. The staff was so friendly and patient. Did I mention how delicious the food is?“

“Food was delicious. The portion sizes exceeded our expectations. The quality of food and service was top notch. We were able to find something for everyone, even the pickiest of eaters. Only potential downside would be it was a band night so it was loud. Even though the band is in the other room, you can sing and dance along in the dining room. This place was a pleasant surprise to find on the map and decor was great. My daughter is an equestrian so she really enjoyed everything she saw.“

“Food is always to die for! Unique flavors & attention to detail. Gotta make this place one of my regular spots!“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Went to lunch here with my mom during an extremely busy lunch time on weekend and it was still such a great experience. The staff were all so pleasant even though they were running around like crazy. They took a bit to get my tea and I didnt even mind but yet they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal just as an apology, which they didn't even need to do, I understood fully they were just busy. We will absolutely be back!!! Wonderful customer service, worth every penny.“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“We went to the High Bridge House tonight for dinner to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. The restaurant was highly recommended by a friend of ours, and we were not disappointed. I had the Steak and Cake, and my husband had the Lobster Bacon Mac & Cheese, and both were delicious! We ate in the dining room which was lovely, and the service was top notch. We highly recommend The High Bridge House for any occasion, and we will definitely be back.“

“We had a great dinner experience at Rustic Kitchen with a group of six friends. They accommodated us perfectly with a table for six, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. Our seasoned waiter was training a younger waitress, and both of them did an excellent job. The young man helping with cleanup and table service was also very attentive and hardworking.

Everyone was constantly checking on us, making sure we had everything we needed and asking if we were satisfied with our meals and drinks. The food was excellent across the board. Our group ordered everything from the half roast chicken to the orecchiette pasta and chicken parmesan, and every meal was delicious.

The portion sizes were very generous, and the pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the amount of food and drinks we had. Overall, it was a great night with excellent food, attentive staff, and a very enjoyable atmosphere. We will definitely be back.“

“Enjoying a pleasant meal out is always a treat, and Stirna's never fails to impress. My husband and I chose it for our anniversary dinner, and from the moment we stepped inside, the wait staff provided top-notch service, making us feel genuinely welcome. The food was delicious, and those legendary Stirna's brownies are always a must for a sweet treat. Much thanks to Cathy and her team.“

“The Cafe is a comfortable spot for lunch or dinner. The food choices are posted on the wall for customer consideration and ordering at the counter. The food is mysteriously delivered by a member of the staff. I chose a chicken Caesar wrap. It was full of chicken but was a bit dry on this occasion, more lettuce and dressing was needed. It was served with potato chips (meh) and a pickle chip. My friend ordered a club sandwich with special modifications. It also was served with potato chips. We each enjoyed soft drinks -- lemonade and Sprite. A full bar is available which includes specialty coffees. I recommend this long-standing restaurant.“

“do not let the location fool you, great place to stop“

“I attended a Bridal shower, for my future daughter in law, at the Apple Tree House Restaurant. It was wonderful! The food was excellent! I can't say enough about how great the entire staff was! Michelle and Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly! Thank you all on a job well done! I highly recommend the Apple Tree House Restaurant!“

“Always a great lunch and fabulous service!!“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“

“Food was 5 star.Service was acceptable and bar service was a disappointment. I had a simple drink order and they couldn't get it right in 2 tries. Not sure if the waiter played a role in this. I still give Bucatini a high rating because of the food quality.“

“A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.“

“One of my absolute favorite family owned businesses, owners at so nice and patient. I’ve dined in and ordered from home. It’s affordable which is a plus for me as a single mom. And the food is so yummy. ♥️🩷“

“We went to the pub while stay at the hotel since it was close by. The food was AMAZING. Service was fantastic! Our server, Tiffany, was very attentive and kind. Made sure we had everything we needed during our entire dining experience. The prices are not bad either! Definitely would return again when in the area!“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

“Popped in the Wilkes-Barre, PA TGI Fridays for lunch. Great, fast, friendly service. The sampler platter was delicious.“

“Great hospitality! Totally best experience.“

“My first time eating at a chili's and I was amazed. I'm 51 and I think that was the best burger I've ever had. Kaitlin our server was incredible. We were there for my daughters birthday so there were a few of us so the wait was a bit but totally worth it.“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“There were 10 people in my party and they had no problem seating us as walk ins. The staff was friendly, server was attentive, and food was very good. The only issue was food timing. We waited quite a while bt appetizers and entrees, which wasnt a huge issue for us since we havent seen each other in some time, so other than that everything was great!“

“Great meal AND it was FREE ! Thanks for honoring teachers !“

“Awesome food and friendly staff.“

“We follow some NEPA eatery pages and hot wing groups to find good places for my husband and I to get wings! We had Haggerty's wings for the first time yesterday and they were hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked crispy wings and delicious sauce, perfect blue cheese and crunchy (not wilted) celery! They won us over and we will definitely be back for some hot wings! (Also their other apps were excellent!) They staff was pleasant the atmosphere is so inviting! Can't wait to come again for a beer and wings!“
