50 Best American Restaurants near Plains

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

“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.“

“Friendly employees, great service, and good variety. Definitely on my favorites list! 😋“

“Excellent food, great service, handicap accessible, lots of parking and very fair prices.“

“After spending a night at Trumps rally we needed a good breakfast. Being out of the area, the hotel recommended D's Diner. Great recommendation, food was great at a fair price and service was super. We all left satisfied. A true family owned restaurant when you see the owners working with staff to keep things flowing during peek time. I would highly recommend D's diner.“

“Excellent food, great service and always pleasant!“

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

About the wait time it was alittle longer that day. Busy and rainy. Nice cozy place and the view is beautiful. They all did their best to accommodate.“

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

“Food and service fantastic as usual!!! Had the veal cutlet Marsala and the creme brûlée. Everything was amazing!“

“There's something about that tray of traditional red that keeps us coming back for more. Add some often-rotating and very creative wing sauce varieties and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know they're a local favorite, I know they have their devoted followers, but I really do feel like it's one of the more unique pizza offerings in our area. We got takeout and it was ready right on time. I hesitate to say it, but I mean it in the most delicious, addictive way; it's like a thinner, tastier, less stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth-ish Nardone’s style (in shape and feel), with a more complex cheese build. It's a hybrid tray/bar pie vibe, and you'll wonder how many cuts you can take before others do the math. My son ordered the cheesesteak; I had a hard time verbalizing ‘just steak and cheese’ but check that picture out, I think he's onto something. The wing sauces don't feel weighed down by butter or additives; they're bright, flavorful and unique blends that you can experiment with, since you can get orders as small as six bone-in wings. One of the sauces we tried was Szechuan orange, almost reminiscent of Asian duck; sweet and tangy with a little peppery zing, the boneless bites come SAUCED. I still prefer the regular wings. And it would be criminal not to mention Grandma Kelsey's Pizza, which might not adhere strictly to the Grandma lineage (whatever that is) but is certainly in my top 3 grandma pies locally; really incredible!“

“Wonderful people, delicious food and good prices !“

“great service wonderful people and home cooked meals you will love“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“For the first time in a long time, my taste buds had the ultimate orgasm! Breakfast sausage is a dynamite explosion of flavor that you definitely won’t find anywhere else in NEPA! Keep up the great work!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Rustic Kitchen Bistro & Bar. The filet mignon and lobster tail were cooked perfectly, and the flavors were rich and well-balanced. The service was exceptional attentive, friendly, and truly welcoming. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the whole evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I would recommend for a quality dining experience.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere and great staff!!“

“Outstanding huge wings and great people! We will be back!“

“Good People, Good Tea, Good Place !!!“

“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!“

“Great place! The pizza and chicken bites were absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The drinks were excellent as well, with a great selection and well-made cocktails. Overall, a fun atmosphere and a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to!“

“Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn’t greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it’s probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn’t even have to specify (that’s my Dunkin’ hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn’t too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There’s table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done!“

“I have dined here several times and the food was awsome. I had the crabcakes. I was really excited to see two large crabcakes. I was a little confused as why they would serve with mashed potato's but I went with the flow. Honestly they were the worst crabcakes ever. No taste. All breading!. Insult to injury..our server took my plate back and I heard nothing! Not the servers fault.. he was awsome. I will not be back because chefs should stand behind their food.“

“Simply the nicest people. Everyone is just polite and friendly and they have the best omelets.“

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

“From the owners to the cooks and bartenders. Easy to deal with helpful and the food slaps. Hands down the best Mule I've had in NEPA. The food hits different than the average bar food. You can go there feel safe enjoy your time without being harassed or pressured. Michelle Aaron David Platinum Christina. All amazing people.“

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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!!“

“Delicious Mocha. Really near interior design. Food is very good. I had The Chicken Sando which was excellent.

The last two times I ate here, the smell of the cleaning products or disinfectants is overwhelming. I appreciate that it's clean, but it almost made me want to leave with how strong the odor is.“

“Golfing, Venue and Dining.“

“easily my FAVORITE place for dinner and drinks in NEPA. their location is easily accessible and atmosphere is chill, not too overwhelming. i’m vegetarian and it’s hard for me to find good places to eat… but HOPS is very accommodating! great selection of flatbreads and salads. i have dreams about their veggie burger, seriously delicious! their prices and portions are outstanding. lastly, the staff here is so friendly, chill, and they make you feel welcomed! if there’s a mistake on your order, or if you have any questions about the menu, they are knowledgeable and more than happy to help. i would rate 100 stars if i could. love ya HOPS!“

“I'm so glad that my friends invited me to join them on Friday night. Place was packed what they had enough Boston goes behind the bar to take orders.. I was told that they have very good buffalo wings so I ordered some. They have the best wings in town. My friend asked me to try a bite of her plate and I did and it was super good. I do recommend joining this place.“

“Service was great and went with recommendations, was not disappointed. So many great options to choose from and then they have daily specials. I'll definitely go back as there's so much more I need to try. Again, the service was above all the best part. She was nice, friendly and attentive.“

“Found this place a few months back when my daughter had a softball game up that way, and I was looking for a place to watch the Eagles on Sunday. This place did not disappoint for watching any Eagles game. It’s truly like a full eagle bar with the atmosphere of all the fans. Love the place went back a second time a week ago.“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“
