“Finally got the opportunity to get to Barletta’s and I loved everything about it! Great atmosphere, great menu and the food was amazing. We had buffalo chicken flatbread, Barletta flatbread ( fresh mozzarella and basil), and 3 cheese Sicilian pizza. Everything was outstanding! Such a great place, definitely going back!“

“Great experience every time.“

“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“

Well conceptualized recipes and expert preparation. The Fries! The Weiner Sauce! The specials! Also, bar staff are attentive and personable. Very good service!“

“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!“

“Had the texas weiners with the migsy’s sauce. Absolutely delicious and authentic and brought back some great memories.“

“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“

“1st visit!! Very nice! Great atmosphere!! Local people were very nice and talkative!! Highly Recommend!!“

“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.“

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

“The food was sooo good! 😋 Will definitely return.“

“make sure you sit outside, been there twice now on my stay there in Scranton“

“This place is great..... Awesome food and Great atmosphere...... Friendly Service......Best Wings in town....... Period“

“Today was my first time having some great food from this great place. The fish and chips was great and my husband and son enjoyed the Farr St Burgers. I would definitely recommend. Stepping into this place , I loved the ambiance. Server was a very nice gentleman, foods great. Thanks for dinner guys. Hot and delicious. 10 outta 10... 👌👌👌“

“Quaint neighborhood pub, Yankee lovers, decent prices..If you like to go for few drinks, and mingle or just keep to yourself and still be able to hear yourself and others...this is corner pub..pool table ..( heads up ..good shooters), shuffle board, juke box, cigarette machine..“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great hospitality! Totally best experience.“

“there sweeping scranton by storm come on down eat dance enjoy urself“

“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!!“

“First time there. Loved everything. The food was phenomenal. The service was the best. The waitress and kitchen staff were the friendliest I've encountered in a very long time. Very accommodating for wheelchair use. Can't wait to go back.“

“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.“

“I went there today to see what kinds of fruits they had and a very friendly cashier helped me out. I will be going there and defi itely recommend.“

“Food was really good, bartender was great and place is the perfect size with a good atmosphere. Only downfall and it is a major one is people smoke inside the place which ruined it all. When my friends and I ordered bo one was there, we started eating then people came in and started smoking. Our food started tasting like an ash tray and our close stunk. I could not wait to get home and throw my clothes in the wash and take a shower. Food was great but my friends, I will not be going back and I can not reccomend this place simply because of the smoking. This place would have twice the business if there was no smoking.“

“I Had* been trying every single place within 50 miles of the Poconos, i even went to NY to try to find really good tacos, I have to say this is the best place you can go for real Authentic Mexican Cuisine this side of Philidelphia food truck tacos! I have since brought my family and friends and we can all agree this is the best place to eat in Scranton. Enjoy!“

“love it amazing friendly delicious“

“Sergei’s is hands down one of the best live music spots I’ve been to. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed, the sound quality is great, and the talent they bring in is next level. Great drinks, great experience — highly recommend.“

“Great people, great food, great service. Need I say more?“
