“This place is absolutely incredible I never go out to bars but I love wings and a good friend of mine told me to try it and my God it did not disappoint I ordered Mild with medium to try because when it comes to spicey I am not able to handle much heat but the Mild was just the right amount the crispy crunch of the wing also soft and chewy I don't know how they do it but it is just perfect they are also the biggest wings I have ever seen and eaten I bought an order of the mild and an order of the garlic and they were both incredible. After enjoying that, I also looked on the menu and seen, they had minnie potato pancakes and that is also another one of my favorite things, so I ordered that and some seasoned fries just to try everything. And it was just absolutely incredible The people in there especially the bartender named Matt he was so quick and friendly and welcoming the atmosphere was just so warm. Everybody was so nice and welcoming and I just don't know what else to say. If you're looking for a nice little place to go and have some incredible food and have a few drinks and a good time. I would highly recommend trying out this place. You won't be sorry. I also seen a bunch of people ordering pizzas and they were absolutely loaded with food I myself haven't had the pizza yet but will be back for more incredible wings and pancakes and will definitely be trying the pizza“

“I actually really enjoyed this bar. It's definitely a smaller hole in the wall type establishment and can get very crowded but was a great time for my friends and I.What makes this bar get 5 stars however is the bartender. Even though he was incredibly busy he covered my Soda free of charge when he found out I was the designated driver. While $1 is practically meaningless to me, seeing him observe the position I was in and choosing to cover my drink even when I was happy to pay made this place stand out to me. Most people do not enjoy being the sober driver so the gesture really made an impression on me about what kind of establishment this was.“

Homemade pierogies are Absolutely Phenomenal, cod piccata was delicious, DEFINITELY going back again!!“

“16th Ward was one of the few places open late on a Sunday as my wife and I were driving home from a long trip. We received absolutely amazing service, great drinks, and phenomenal food! Every aspect of our time at 16 Ward was top-notch! Having just had two disappointing dinners the past two nights at two highly acclaimed restaurants in the Fingers Lakes, 16th Ward was not a planned stop but was an amazing discovery! We will be back many more times! It was not until I went to write a review (something I rarely ever do), that I realized that our amazing host/server was the owner. He could not have been nicer! Amazing experience and priced well below what many of us often pay for much lower quality food, drinks, and service. Thank you!“

“Cozy perfect little corner bar!! Love it!! PS order the pretzel bites!! 😉“

“I adore Farr Street Tavern! It’s a nice atmosphere and the service is always impeccable. I love that there are so many plant based options for me to enjoy, including the specials! It’s always an exciting food adventure for me. 😊“

“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!“

“Great service, great food, and even better times!“

“Family owned & operated.
The best place to relax for a minute or bring your whole crew. PA Skill slots & more.
I used to come here with my grandparents, they used to host the ham & cabbage dinners every year & now their children have taken over the dinners. Great place“

“The bartenders and patrons are very friendly!!! Everyone makes you feel welcome....“

“very nice place..good food nice bartender/service“

“The food took over 2 hours to come out. The waitress seemed clueless. Not very attentive or showed any concern. The best part was they brought out 2 meals for our table and then came back and said they delivered it to the wrong table! One of the two Mac and cheese bowls was being eaten at that time. They took the "untouched" mac and cheese back to the kitchen. Waitress came back out within 2 minutes and served it to the correct table 🤯 Also there was a hair in my French fries. The ambiance is cool. I don't think the food was out of this world. I would never go here again, sadly.“

“Been there many many times in the past, never had their food. I gotta say these wings are by far the best wings I’ve EVER had!!“

“A local sports establishment with tasty bar food and cold beverages at a fair price. Lots of televisions for all your sports watching needs. Jukebox playing some music when needed. Staff/bartender is very welcoming. Low key, friendly, and relaxed environment.“

“Wonderful people who are welcoming and warm. Atmosphere is different from anything you've been at full of charm and character. It felt like going over a family members house for dinner! Prices were unbelievable as well as the portions! The Cajun broccoli Alfredo was thick and fresh as was my salad. The sauce was definitely made from scratch! Ate here during a work trip will definitely be back“
