“Rustic Kitchen is hands down one of the best dining experiences at Mohegan Sun. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale — warm lighting, inviting décor, and an energy that makes you feel welcome right away.

The food is outstanding. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the seafood was fresh, and the steak was absolutely spot-on. You can tell the chefs take real pride in what they serve.

Service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, offered great recommendations, and made sure we felt taken care of the entire evening.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a night out with friends, or a pre-casino meal, Rustic Kitchen delivers every time. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“A staple in the northeastern Pennsylvania cuisine scene.
White tablecloth fine dining, menu excellent , genuinely welcoming.. they have a cozy little bar for a table for two on a busy night. Staff is wonderful, truly great service and I believe there is a gentleman that opens the door for the guests ( at least that's what my mom told me ). Also I'd like to know that they chose to put those tablecloth mats on each table, so your plates don't ping off the tabletop, things sit nice, comfy on the elbows.. As a dweeb, I take notice of those extra touches.. just sayin'
Delicious traditional dishes, but with a real touch of genuine.
They put craft and dedication to cooking these traditional dishes.
The staff is one of the finest in the area, service was outstanding I would say make sure to order the special. Even though you might not know what it is, you can trust that this kitchen will deliver an amazing plate.
Recently I went there with my parents, and they reminded me to wear something nice and make sure I don't have any holes in my jeans.. haha!
That's the kind of place this is in a great way.
Isabella has been doing it great for I would say almost 20 years one of my best friends used to cook their way back when and was always regarded as a very great kitchen in the area.
Always a great choice.
Thank you very much Isabella I will see you again! See you around!

I had the Eggs Benedict from the senior menu, and it was done to perfection. I enjoyed every bite. Kudos to the chef on duty. I appreciate and acknowledge your effort. The staff is friendly and knows me by name, making me feel special. 5 stars to you all!“

“Good food with a fair price. Friendly staff. Haven't had a bad experience until today. We have been customers here for years and always have had excellent food and service until today. Everything was over cooked. Had a BLT sandwich with chips. Bacon was hard and burnt. Coffee was burnt and onion rings were also burnt. First bad experience in almost 20 years. Yes I would still recommend this restaurant. Can't be perfect all of the time.“

Every single item was wonderful! It was so loaded that we took a lot home. This is a family friendly atmosphere, the kids loved it. Full bar with multiple taps and great selections. Very clean, nice big TVs, friendly owners and staff. Highly recommended, the menu is loaded with options and is priced reasonably. The bar should be packed every night!“

“We rented one of the outdoor igloos in early March. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was delicious and perfectly plated. The cocktails were unique and delicious. Our waitress, Ariana, was fantastic! Would absolutely recommend and we will be back!“

“I recently hosted an event at American Grill and BBQ in Exeter, PA, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, the staff was accommodating, attentive, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the ideal spot to gather and celebrate. Every detail was handled seamlessly, which allowed me to truly enjoy the event without any stress. I highly recommend American Grill and BBQ for anyone planning a party, celebration, or even just a night out—you won’t be disappointed!“
