“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“We had my Son & Daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner there on 10/10/2025 in their event space upstairs. We had the event room & outside patio for about 50 people. I live in Vermont and communicating with Chef Jimbo was a delight. He was quick to respond and offered suggestions and was very enthusiastic and helpful. Chef Jimbo went above and beyond to make this event special & memorable. The food was delicious south western style food and service was outstanding. All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. After dinner it became a welcome party for the Wedding guests in town - a most memorable & enjoyable evening. If I lived closer and had to host an event they would be #1 on my list.“

“One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time! The place is absolutely beautiful, the food is phenomenal, and the mocktails were perfect. The staff was incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And Gabe, the manager, is truly exceptional and made us feel like VIPs. I had the Goat Cheese & Ricotta Cavatelli for my entrée and the Flourless Chocolate Torte for dessert. Everything was just amazing from start to finish. We can’t wait to go back!“

“We had excellent dinners tonight at Cork! There are so many options to chose from on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone! My dinner came with sweet mashed potatoes and they were amazing! Our waiter Justin was also very attentive along with the rest of the staff. :)“

“Extraordinary is an understatement. This establishment is phenomenal in every aspect, from its atmosphere to the family ownership, cuisine, and pricing. I highly recommend Anthony's with absolute certainty, and I appreciate supporting small, family-owned businesses.  #LoveMyFamilia“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“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.“

“I'm naturally a very fast eater, but not here. It was so delicious I wanted to savor every single bite. I'm coming back here as soon as I can, like tomorrow. Phenomenal and I don't ever write reviews but I just had to write this one.“

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

“My daughter had a pop-up cookie booth slangin’ samoas down the street, so we do-si-do’d into Bistro to explore more of their menu, father/son tapas edition.

The ambiance is quiet and low-lit, tough for menu reading post-40 but just what the doctor ordered after a loud, busy, sensory-filled day. My tag-along insisted on the clams, not knowing what etouffee was, and he really questioned the roasted peanuts on the sticky Asian ribs, but they reeled me in.

There was a lot going on with the prosciutto wrapped dates, and my best guy steered clear of the adventureful bowl, but between bites of crispy prosciutto and sweet date, with a pronounced blue cheese and hot honey kick, I was cleaning up that hummus like I was a butternut squash ambassador.

Not to be outranked, the Southern fried chicken tacos may have been the best bang for our buck; they were absolutely delicious and you can't even get fast food chicken tacos at that price point; very impressive. Can't wait to get back!“

“Best omelettes I've ever had & the very best waffles I've ever tasted in my life!“

“The best lemon greek chicken orzo soup ever. Drove up from New Jersey to buy two quarts for my boyfriend who was sick 🤧 with the flu 😷..“

“I want to thank the manager, Joe and all of his staff for making our get-together at Isabella’s perfect!! From the ambience, the food and the staff, it was wonderful.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for a night out or for a group gathering. It was 5 Star all around!
Thank you again, Joe and the entire staff taking care of our group tonight!!“

“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?“

“Came here for the Halloween party, it was so much fun and the service was so friendly. A miller light draft was only 3.60!! I don’t know if that’s everyday but we went on a Friday, very rarely do you see a miller for that cheap. My friend got wings too and loved them. Bartenders were busy but they were super friendly.“

“A + service and food. The fresh unsweetened tea was delicious. I had three. My salad was stellar. We were a party of six and everyone enjoyed their food. The chocolate chip cookies were recommended and We know why!!! I will return for another one of these salads.“

“The food and drinks were amazing. The service was wonderful. Start to finish we were so so happy we decided to stop.“

“Rustic Kitchen truly lives up to its name with a warm, inviting atmosphere and food that feels like it was made with real care. The standout of the meal was without a doubt the chicken parm—absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and topped with rich, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese. Every bite was packed with comfort and authentic flavor.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Rustic Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, this is a must-order and easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! 🍽️🔥“

“Our absolute favorite place to eat! I’v lived in PA my entire life and moved to FL 4 years ago & EVERY time we come in to see family we eat here multiple times before we go back to FL“

“The sausage and pepperoni pizza is outstanding and to top that, the garden salad is about the best around! The “small” is more than enough for 2 people. The prices here are surprisingly reasonable, as well. This place should be packed!“

“Nostalgic atmosphere. great food, welcoming staff!“

“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.“

“I love you food selection. Mostly love the Wilkes-Barre tshirts. I'm from TEXAS and was born in Kingston,PA. My family live from Wilkes-Barre to Shickshinny to Berwick.“

“We recently hosted a funeral luncheon at Bukatini. The food was delicious and the service was Phenomenal! I highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“We recently had breakfast at Carmen’s for the first time. It is a “hidden gem”, IMHO.

The food and beverage quality was very good.

The service was very good as well.

It is the Carmen’s and Lobby atmosphere that creates an “elevated experience”, we love the train station conversion. Very quaint.

So overall, an excellent experience and value.“

“make sure you sit outside, been there twice now on my stay there in Scranton“

“💯 recommend stoping here, party of 6 and each meal was excellent. I had the Cuban which I will get again!! Burgers are big and delicious, fries are nice and crispy. Apps are great as well.“

“We have been occasionally frequenting Trax for years. It is a “hidden gem”, IMHO.

The food and beverage quality is very good.

The service is always great.

It is the Trax and Lobby atmosphere that creates an “elevated experience”, we love the train station conversion. Very quaint.

So overall, an excellent experience and value.“

“great food great service“

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.“

“Love sitting at the bar and grabbing a drink with my friends! Their peach martini is definitely my fave!“

“Amazing!!!! we had fantastic drinks, service, and food!!“

“When it comes to crowded nights, this place is severely understaffed. Be prepared to ask for service several times until a bartender and/or server shows up, whether at the counter or at a table. Otherwise, for anyone who's looking for a non-rowdy bar vibe that's attached to a parking garage next door, this place is THE spot. Happy New Year!“
