“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?“

“Enjoying a pleasant meal out is always a treat, and Stirna's never fails to impress. My husband and I chose it for our anniversary dinner, and from the moment we stepped inside, the wait staff provided top-notch service, making us feel genuinely welcome. The food was delicious, and those legendary Stirna's brownies are always a must for a sweet treat. Much thanks to Cathy and her team.“

“Update to my past review:
Even better place since they stopped allowing smokers. Excellent food; great, huge variety on the menu!
Great wait staff. I always bring my friends for breakfast Saturday and it never disappoints! Coffee is great and free flowing. They get busy right about 10:00AM but the waitresses keep up quite efficiently. Love the veggie omelette!“

“I just moved to the Scranton/Dunmore area from New York City. I was looking for a local place to “hang my hat”. After trying several local establishments, someone told me I should try Crotti’s on Ash. I met Sheila, the owner, who is fantastic about managing, serving and booking the bands for the place.
I walked in on a Monday night and saw Clarence Spady playing a rendition of “Hey Joe” that floored me. If you don’t know who Clarence is- Google him. I’ve been coming back ever since. Every band or person that plays here is extremely impressive and high quality. Coming from NYC, it’s difficult to impress me but everything about this place is awesome. The people here are warm, good-hearted souls that make everyone feel welcome- Even a displaced person from New York City!“

“Wings, hoagies, and drinks were good pizza is terrible hard dry much to crunchy“

“We tried Roma pizza for the first time today. As soon as I got it home, it was devoured and never had pizza in the house that went so fast.
That wouldn't mean much except we do pizza every Friday night and have for 16 yrs.
Roma Pizza is Pizza Amore'
Shout out to Rachel and Kaylee. Tell the chef great job!“

“The food here is exceptional! Everything we ordered was so delicious and fresh. You can tell whoever is in the kitchen really cares about the food taste and quality. Everything is made from scratch and the portions are very good! Highly recommend eating here.“

“Great Texas Weiners (chili dogs) and chili-cheese fries (fresh cut fries). The chili sauce is excellent. Huge portion of fries. Amanda is a great server!“

“Everything from the atmosphere to the food were amazing. The staff was extremely friendly. we drove 2 hours for this and it was definitely worth the drive!“

“Gotta shout out a dog friendly restaurant! We came a few days ago on a beautiful, warm summer day and our server made sure we all got water right away, including our dog! Sooo many drinks to choose from and great food-be sure to start off your meal with sweet potato fries with the rumchata marshmallow dip!“

“We would like to thank Kevin for the delicious lunch today. We will definitely be ordering again!! Century Dental Throop“

“Beautiful restaurant within the Radisson Lackawanna hotel. Reservations are suggested although we were the only 2 people eating from 6pm-7pm on a Saturday evening. I believe it was because the hotel was hosting a large party and most of the guests were probably there. The evening prior, the restaurant was full. We were served quickly and our drinks were brought along with warm bread and butter. We ordered pasta and crab cakes and our meals came out quickly. Everything was so hot, fresh and tasty. My scallops were tender and my cousin enjoyed the lump crab meat in her crab cakes and vegetables. Dessert was a delectable warm creme brulee. Prices were fair. We would definitely recommend dining here.“

“I called ahead to inquire about if the food was spicy as I tried the halal spot up the street from them and couldn’t get beyond a fork full because it was WAAYYY too spicy. Figured I’d give these guys a try and THANK God I did!!! Not only was there a huge amount of food but the little kick of spice was not over baring and left space for plenty of favor. I asked for extra white sauce and they delivered on that as well. They were nice accommodating and the food was good. This was my first time goin there so I did call and let them know the food was great and you could tell the guy needed to hear that you could hear him smile through the phone I’m not sure why this place isn’t way busier but trust me it’s worth it! As a New Yorker I think this is the closest you’ll get to NY truck stand halal. I APPROVE!!!“

“We stopped on our way home from Cooperstown, this experience was amazing. I only remember yezzys name but the guy that waited on us was so friendly the whole staff had great attitudes and genuine hospitality and happiness. Couldn’t have asked for a better brunch to feed our 6. Grill guy and (dawn) (maybe) was on point with correct doneness and freshness!!! If we ever come back through, we’ll certainly stop again.“

“Under new ownership and it didn’t disappoint. They are clearly just getting started (otherwise I’d give 5 stars across the board) but… boy is it off to a great start! Bar pie was outstanding, wings good and the people were all friendly. New owner (Brian) was welcoming and acknowledged they are working out the kinks.
I think this is going to become a great neighborhood bar and I’m looking forward their success.“

“There's not another restaurant in the state of Pennsylvania that can compare to the glider diner open face roast beef sandwich with gravy Not a one Not a one And as a long lost friend would say enjoy enjoy....Frank Hallock“

“This is truly a hidden gem located one block off of Keyser Ave. The first to-go order was very good so we had to order again. Peppers did not disappoint and now we are HOOKED ON GREAT FOOD. Return customer! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Always great food and conversation“

“Awesome place and one of my favorite Irish Pubs! Andy Gavin’s has the best Guinness draft in NEPA. Our server Frenchie was kind and provided quick service. I’d recommend this place to anyone on just the food and drinks alone but the service is also great too! 10/10“

“Great food and great service plus some nostalgic video games...even my teenagers had a good time including my super picky eater. We ordered the fried chicken to-go because he loved it so much!“

“Mackenzie is the best waitress ever she’s so sweet :)“

“We’ve been here several times, always happy with our meals but had a particularly great server experience tonite. Megan H was wonderful! She is so kind and pleasant. She is very attentive and picked up on my daughter not enjoying her lemonade(too sweet & sour) and offered to bring another drink right over. Checked on us several times and when we were too full for dessert (but my son not too full for more biscuits) offered to wrap some for him to take home. She made his night!!“

“Madison was our server, she was amazing! The gluten free pizza is dynamite. It has a nice crisp and not chewy. The regular pizza is French bread style nothing fancy but delicious. If your looking for a delicious pasta than you must order the rigatoni a la vodka, best I have ever had! This place is a must to stop at if driving through Scranton!“

“We were traveling with our dogs and baby and needed a place to stop! They were so accommodating and allowed us to sit outside with the pups! Our waitress was very attentive and we even let the baby walk around in the enclosed area! Thank you for letting a tired family have a decent break while traveling!“
