“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. :)“

“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. ♥️🩷“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😷..“

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

“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?“

“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!!“

“Nostalgic atmosphere. great food, welcoming staff!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“💯 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.“

“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.“

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

“A very pleasant experience at Diamond City Vault. The food was delicious and carefully prepared, with each dish offering a unique flavor. The warm and cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home, perfect for spending time with friends or family. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“
