“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“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.“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Food was 5 star.Service was acceptable and bar service was a disappointment. I had a simple drink order and they couldn't get it right in 2 tries. Not sure if the waiter played a role in this. I still give Bucatini a high rating because of the food quality.“

“We follow some NEPA eatery pages and hot wing groups to find good places for my husband and I to get wings! We had Haggerty's wings for the first time yesterday and they were hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked crispy wings and delicious sauce, perfect blue cheese and crunchy (not wilted) celery! They won us over and we will definitely be back for some hot wings! (Also their other apps were excellent!) They staff was pleasant the atmosphere is so inviting! Can't wait to come again for a beer and wings!“

“Came here for the Halloween party, it was so much fun and the service was so friendly. A miller light draft was only 3.60!! I don’t know if that’s everyday but we went on a Friday, very rarely do you see a miller for that cheap. My friend got wings too and loved them. Bartenders were busy but they were super friendly.“

“Kayla is very personable and friendly to her customers. Kayla is very conversational to her customers. She checks on all her tables to see if they need anything multiple times while eating at the restaurant. Before I need anything, she is gets my request before I ask what I need. Kim, the manager is very polite and checks to see if the customer enjoyed their time while dinning at the restaurant. Kim makes sure to ask how the food came out to the customers in the restaurant.“

“We recently had breakfast at Carmen’s for the first time. It is a “hidden gem”, IMHO.

The food and beverage quality was very good.

The service was very good as well.

It is the Carmen’s and Lobby atmosphere that creates an “elevated experience”, we love the train station conversion. Very quaint.

So overall, an excellent experience and value.“

“This place is definitely worth stopping in for a cocktail for lunch. The hotel lobby is an old train station with absolutely beautiful details throughout. If you're into trains he'll appreciate the aesthetic of the bar. The staff was fantastic, kind and helpful. What I had of the food what's good but nothing to write home about. What this place is mostly about the atmosphere. I was there for a train event so there were lots of like-minded people sitting around the bar which made for an enjoyable time since I'm a Solo Traveler.“

“The food here is amazing and the pizza is to die for. Me,my wife,and 2 boys have eaten here countless times eating in and taking out and the food is always amazing and all the staff definitely knows how to treat ya . This is one of me and my wife's favorite places and Its a must try if your in the Scranton/Dickson City area. I really Can't say enough good things about it .. 👌👌👌👌👌💯“

“We stopped in today for lunch and we’re not from the area, fast service and both of us enjoyed the cheesesteak. I got the 3 cheeses onions and it was the best cheesesteak I’ve had in a long time“

“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“

“Food was tasty and prepared correctly. Was a little disappointed that they don't have strawberry topping for their waffles. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. It was dirty, even for a fast food restaurant. That was the only negative part of the experience.“

“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“

“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!!!“

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

“John was our server and his recommendations for drinks (tequila) and food were superb. Food, atmosphere and drinks were amazing. 10 out of 10!“

“Peppers is a hidden gem! Every time we cant decide what to order….we get Peppers and they are always great! Don’t sleep on Peppers“

“We have loved Alfredos for many, many years. Always excellent food! A very extensive and delicious menu! Service is good for the most part. One female waitress/tender isnt always the friendliest but other are good! We sure do miss Noah though since he moved out of the area. He was truly the best and friendliest mixologist in the area!“

“I had ordered online, and opted for doordash delivery. The dasher was rude, and brought me the wrong food. He needed that tip more than I. He told me to contact bww because they gave him the wrong food. That was a lie. When I spoke to the GOAT Joe, he made sure to fix any and ALL issues. He even went as far as bringing my order to my front door!! Greatly appreciated!! One thing is for sure there ARE still GREAT people out there. Joe exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond. Thank you Joe! I will most definitely be ordering again!“
