New American Restaurants near Plains, PA

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“
