“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.“

“Scrantons own hidden gem! Served a delicious sausage and cheese omlete with homefries cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and warm inside. When asked about gluten free bread they were extremely accommodating, and toasted a gluten free roll to go with my breakfast. Service was great. No frills diner, great service and food. Price is right.“

“We live just outside of Scranton, but hadn’t been in for a date night yet. My husband and I visited for dinner this weekend to celebrate my birthday, and while I knew the experience and presentation would be wonderful, I’d like to share how fantastic the food was, as well. Whoever builds the menu is truly special. We enjoyed drinks, appetizers, main dishes, as well as dessert. Every dish was curated with care, and absolutely delicious. We will certainly be back again! Our service was excellent, and the host was incredibly personable. Thanks for the great experience!“

“Trax Bar & Kitchen
Impressive service by our bartender, watching her multitask a busy Friday night. Other support staff worked like a well oiled machine, bringing food orders from the back kitchen, taking orders, prepping tables…so service could be executed smoothly.
**** Trax Classic, loaded grilled burger done just as ordered with their thick and crispy house-made chips. Don’t bother counting calories.
***** Station Signature Misto salad was enjoyed by my husband.
Coming from out of town the prices were reasonable. Portions were filling and the indoor atmosphere was cozy with dark woods, a beautiful chandelier and reminders of a by gone era in this historic hotel. There are large screen TVs scattered throughout the dining area for the sports fans to enjoy. History buffs would enjoy seeing old photos showing how this huge train depot was utilized for passengers and cargo.
They can prepare your meal to go, we were staying at the hotel and ordered by a direct call line to their staff and the bill could be charged to your room or paid up front.
I saw a mix of both locals and visitors having a moment to enjoy their meals. Parking is easy, they keep late night hours too. We enjoyed our meals so much, we had it again before we left to travel home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Are you guys hiring for Dishwashers? PLMK by leaving a PM ... I'm VERY interested in working, and can start ANY day!!! Thanks!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Always great food and conversation“

“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 :)“

“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!!!“

“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! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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!!“

“We visited Scranton for event and of course had to hit some office location as highlight of the weekend and this was one the ones on our list. We got seated right away. Very upscale looking Italian place with soccer on the TV. Can go wrong with that. We sat down tried there Sicilian pizza did six slices and some fries it was well done and had a good taste to it. I see other comments saying the pizza was greasy but ours wasn't.

The staff was mid-level attentive and took care of most of our needs. The decor was a bit dark inside and was just step up from regular Italian place. It was good food and comfortable. We got in and out pretty quickly to move on to our hotel. All together not bad at all if your in the area check it out yourself and see what you think.“

“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!“
