50 Best American Restaurants near Palmerton

“On the way to Becky’s Drive In we discovered this restaurant. I can’t express how much we loved it. The wait staff were attentive, caring and informative on specials and menu items. The draft list was extensive, including local favorites as well as seasonal specials. There is a whole candy bar dedicated to toppings for their cocktails and sangria flights(love). I had the rosemary French onion soup & sriracha ranch chicken wings with local honey added to the sauce. The soup was hands down the best I have ever had and the wings were cooked perfectly and coated in sauce. I loved my time here!“

“First time visitor tonight. We will definitely be back. Food was delicious! Drinks were amazing! I loved that our bartender Cody was more than happy to recommend a drink. Sometimes bartender’s don’t like to do that. I think we have found our new date night spot. Really happy that we decided to try something new.“

“I could eat at this restaurant 8 days a week!!! Never disappointed.“

“We stopped in today for a late lunch as we have always driven by and always wanted to try this cute place. It wasn’t busy and we were seated right away, the staff were very welcoming. We ordered our food and the appetizer came out right away! We had the pierogies and they were so good! I had a salad that was on special, and my daughters each had the cesear salad and a burger. Everything was delicious! The service was excellent, Mackenzie was our server and she was very attentive. We will definitely be back!!“

“This bar is like 2 miles off of main St in Palmerton. Looks like a converted house from outside but inside is very nice even cozy. Service was excellent and food was good place was clean. Ordered a burger and it was good, I did not order the wings but people next to me did and they looked and smelled delicious. Would definitely return“

“This is a great sub shop .They have Amoroso brand rolls and high quality meats. Friendly employees..I highly recommend Joe's place“

“Great food and atmosphere! The views are incredible!“

“We do a lot of traveling and like to sample ice cream on our different trips. By far Claude’s Creamery has the best ice cream! It’s a very friendly atmosphere, the staff is always courteous, (a real rarity today) and is very inexpensive for a family. It’s always the bright spot on our trips to Palmerton! 5-Stars“

“What a great place! We passed through the area and stop for lunch. I had a reuben and it was amazing!! The waitress was so accommodating, sweet, and even asked the cook if the reuben could be made gluten free because I have Celiac. They have a dedicated fryer so I had wonderful french fries, too. Lovely place. Lovely food. My family, who is not gluten-free, really enjoyed their meals, too!“

“Big shout out to Selina who went above and beyond today! Not only was the food great and her service amazing! She took the time to sit down with my 4 and 6 year children under a table and play! THANK YOU my kids loved it!“

“Out of all the eateries in the greater Slatington area, SMT has got to be the highest of my recommendations. the place is absolutely fantastic, in both food and service. Not only is it a rustic bar complete with trivia nights and a pool table, but everything is delicious and always served with the highest priority of the customer's requests. The service is perfect, as well. always friendly and accommodating. they all periodically check up on tables, they're known to stop for a quick chat without ignoring their other patrons, and they're completely genuine. For those going, I recommend asking for Kerri. I've had several servers over my visits, all are great, but Kerri has simply been the best. It's at a point where I dont even have to order because she knows exactly what im getting. It's clear she puts her customers first, and it shows. overall, an excellent establishment.“

“Loved the food!!! amazing customer service. Tried the tacos and the chimichanga. The tacos were delicious and I would recommend the guacamole and the jalapeno cilantro sauce. The chimichanga is huge, full of meat and delicious! The owner gave me a chicken empanada and also would recommend it. Full of meat from corner to corner and very flavorful.The best in the area! The tres leches dessert was also amazing!! Recommended 100%. Excellent service and delicious and fresh food!! Thanks for the amazing treatment!!“

“Stopped Sunday. Just driving by visiting area. What a treat, good Olde diner food. reasonable priced, friendly staff. would become a regular if we lived in area. French onion soup was delish!“

“First of all i never gave a review to any place but i had to for here. I had never been here before so first timer and my waitress Krystal was the best. Not only accommodating to what i wanted but also gave me pointers of things to see and do in the area. I will be back and hopefully she will be the person serving me again“

“great food & service! first time there and will definitely be back!“

“It’s my first time here. The place is nice, with unique decorations unlike a typical bar. The beer menu is displayed on the wall, and the cocktail menu is on paper. It’s small but cool. You’ll need to find street parking nearby. A great spot to grab a beer and try different flavors!“

“the food was very good and the service was impeccable, our server Tammy was very knowledgeable ,friendly and had a great sense or humor. My only complaint is that we dined with friends and had a difficult time carrying on a conversation because of the extremely loud music.“

“Went for early dinner. Bar with regulars, definitely needs revamp, old but clean. Jukebox too loud not overly crowded for 4 pm on a Friday. Food was good but a bit pricey, no frills. Bartender was our server, attentive and accommodating, nice.“

“Me and my sister took our "MOM" there yesterday for her 90TH birthday.The ambience , interior ,salads , foods served made her night! THANKS to Bill , seating hostess , cooks , Laura(our great Server) and the rest of the wait staff for a Great Evening !!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“Fun restaurant with random nicknacks everywhere. Your eyes will wander around the whole time you are there. A cute dog is the official greater. The food was decent enough that I would come back while in town. The frozen party drinks served in over sized cups hit the spot. My daughter loved her pasta and chicken wings, the wife was happy with her salmon with baked potato, and I ordered the ribs and actually liked it better than the past few times I've ordered ribs at random establishments that offer it. Chocolate cake and berry pie were enjoyable. If busy the gentleman that was working there is definitely hustling and doing his best to keep up. So be patient. Enjoy.“

“What an amazing discovery for anyone with food sensitivities and allergies! Our meals were exceptional. The drinks top notch. The staff amazing(shout out especially to Holly and her handcrafted shrubs!) The only reason I was willing to leave Jim Thorpe was because I had a loaf of wonderful to take home and toast for breakfast Monday morning. Looking forward to our next visit to town even more now!“

“Some of the greatest food you could ask for!“

“I slipped on cum and fell over“

“We love this place! Everyone is amazing and we always have such a great meal. You can tell by the customers that they really enjoy being here and love the food.“

“My wife Brenda and I were privileged to eat tonite at the Beltzville Bar and grill. I had egg plant Parmesan platter. It came out hot, beautifully place on a large white plate. The pasta sauce was an Italian delight. I am guessing homemade by Deana. The egg plant was fresh cut and lightly breaded. The garlic bread had a die for buttery garlic seasoning. The salad was fresh cut served in a 1/2 bell pepper. The greens were varied and of a five Star restaurant quality. The pasta was Al dente firm with a tender texture. Not soft and mushy like so many places today. I also had 2 dozen clams - cooked to perfection with browned drawn butter. My beverage was Miller Lite in a tall neck bottle served in a chilled frosted glass. Our server was outstanding and helpful during our entire meal. I am sorry I forgot the nice young ladies name.“

“our family has been coming for years. highly recommend! ask for Savannah; she makes it special!“

“Started to become a regular at the Boatyard, avoided for along time because of a misrepresentation of the establishment from years past that just no longer should be considered. Let’s start with the staff and owners very professional, fun and caring they make you feel welcomed anytime you walk in. Honestly you can tell the staff are like family and you just feel like you’re apart of it when you’re here. The food portions and pricing is great not many places in the area can you get a portion where you feel you got your money worth the fact the pricing isn’t tremendous makes it more attractive. The quality of the food is great rotating specials lets you try new things which are always cooked right. You are missing out not trying the boatyard at least once.“

“Great venue to check out local music and more!! The staff and clientele are second to none. Come see For Freaks and Sinners bring 90s Alt Rock and more on Saturday, May 11, 2024!!! It’s gonna be a great night!!!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ soo good. The portions are huge & the food is amazing. The jalapeño cilantro sauce could make shoe leather taste good“

“eat here several times a week always great. love there french onion soup and cold slaw“

“Stopped here on our way home from our trip to Jim Thorpe PA and it is the cutest place with a VERY extensive menu for old fashioned sodas and ice cream with a candy shop section as well. They have chalkboard tables to keep the kiddos entertained. Highly recommend this pit stop if you are in the area!!!“

“Wow! The rib eye cheesesteak was out of this world delicious!!!! We will definitely be back. It was exactly what we were looking for in a cheesesteak. Best cheesesteak in the area. Outstanding food and staff. 🖤“

“Great food!!!“

“We love Christy and Chloe! They’re the best!!“

“Great atmosphere and good people“

“Delicious! Lovely atmosphere. Did I mention the food was delicious!“

“The other reviewer is right...the beer is cold! Rarely do I ever get served a Coors Light bottle as cold as it is at the American Hotel. The bartender Kat is so easy going and down to earth and exemplifies what a bartender should be like. Great service from her, good wings (I always get the butter, garlic, parm), cheap beers, and the atmosphere is so laid back--locals just having a drink and socializing. The interior is old school which I love and the vibes are really positive. This is the only bar I frequent in town. No bars in Lehighton, Jim Thorpe, Brodheadsville compare. Cool place. Good people. Good vibes.“

“We ate dinner in the cafe and had a wonderful meal. Our appetizer was the chips with gorgonzola cheese, tomatoes, arugula and balsamic glaze. Wow! I had the chicken, artichoke, pesto, penne and my husband had the forbidden rice, shrimp and bok choy dish. Both were absolutely amazing. Compliments to the chef. Our waitress was great! We live 45 minutes away but that won't stop us from returning for another fabulous meal.“

“A hidden gem! Great food, huge portions. Fantastic breakfast place, we’ll be back for sure.“

“I’ve been a J’s customer since the day i was born. This is amazing place to stop by if you’re visiting Northampton and want a quick bite to eat. To add, the french fries and pierogies are to die for. Overall, this place is so good!!“

“We stopped in here after a hike, and it was the perfect choice! The pizza slices were huge and very generous—definitely great value for the price. The pizza itself was delicious, and the service was quick even though the place was absolutely packed at lunchtime (always a good sign of how popular it is).

The atmosphere was lively, and we had a great time relaxing and refueling before heading back to our hotel. All in all, it was a fantastic stop and one I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Great spot, with a huge all-weather deck; we had to eat on the sidewalk at one of 3 tables because we had the dog with us. A hot day in March brought ALL the people out so it was busy as heck at 3:00 pm. The big pluses were meeting the owners which were so amazingly friendly, and our server was sweet as apple pie. Good solid pub/bar food and a fun atmosphere. Cozy little bar. Fish & chips and Reuben were very nice.“
