“Simply the nicest people. Everyone is just polite and friendly and they have the best omelets.”

“Best pizza I’ve ever had, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and it’s still the same. Wings are outstanding and I love their signature pizza with no onions.”

“Amazing!! The ice cream was delicious! I got a kiddie mud pie which was perfect because I didn’t want too much. My bf got a large vanilla soft, serve with M&Ms and hot fudge! We both got them in a cup and were more than satisfied! Thank you!!!”

“Imelda did an outstanding job with my son and daughter-in-laws wedding desserts. All desserts were outstanding (cupcakes, cheesecakes and wedding cake). From design concepts to set up, Imelda’s professionalism was outstanding. She made the occasion stress free and did a wonderful job.”

“awesome food!!! I'll never go anywhere else for a burger and fries!”

“Super friendly people. I get lunch here frequently while I'm at work. The food is always supreme quality and delicious. Even when I don't think I'm going to like something, I try it anyway and it's always good. If you're in the area, or live near by, get some food here. You won't regret it!Also, if you're a fan of pasta salad, they make a fantastic pasta salad. Definitely grab it if it's available that day.”

“Ordered sushi for New Year’s Eve and it’s amazing. So fresh. Delicious.”

“This location is always quick and easy to stop in and grab a snack. The staff is always friendly and orders are always spot on accurate. Eli was the newest face during our recent visit and he was great! Love this location!”

“This place is a hidden gem! For under $60, we were able to feed our family of six. We ordered an XL pizza, two heroes with a side of fries, and five drinks. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, and it wasn't overly busy. They also offer unlimited drink refills depending on the size you purchase. The food was fresh, tasted great, and the prices are hard to beat. We'll definitely be back!”

“The best ,most friendly,clean and professional McDonald's 👌..Great Job”

“I’ve found that this Burger King is at its best during the evening. The staff seem more upbeat, the service is smoother, and the food is usually fresher and better prepared. One thing I definitely recommend is the vanilla soft-serve cone, it’s affordable, generously served, and a great little treat after your meal.

While there have been a few occasions when sauces were missing from my order, my overall experience has been positive. Compared with other Burger King locations I’ve visited, this one stands out for its friendly staff and consistently better food. A good option, especially for a late meal or a quick ice cream stop”

“Samantha had great service and was very friendly”

“We had the Kinya experience. The brown boba tea was delicious! The golden kinya roll was amazing! The ramen bowl was the best I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend this restaurant! We also had the kimchi and pork buns which were also really good! Our waitress was also so nice!! We will definitely be back!”

“A beautiful place to rest and relax with your friends and neighbors in Wilkes-Barre.”

“Delicious food and extremely friendly staff. Definitely the best food cart in Wilkes-Barre area. Healthy, protein packed, and many vegan options. It keeps you full but energizes you instead of feeling heavy.”

“I went there today with my granddaughter, this was her second time and she recommended it to me. My food was delicious, I will definitely be going back. The service was very very good, and we couldn’t have asked for a better waitress. I highly recommend….”

“The absolute BEST footlong hot dogs!!!! The people there are so nice, too...”

“Mission BBQ catered our wedding, and we truly cannot recommend them highly enough! The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, fresh, and a total hit with all of our guests—but what really set them apart was their exceptional service. The team went above and beyond to make our day special. They prepared custom plates just for me and my husband, packaged up all the leftovers, and even left us a thoughtfully packed meal for the end of the night. Every detail was handled with such care and consideration, and it made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. Mission BBQ brought not only incredible food but also warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. We’re so grateful for their role in our big day—it wouldn’t have been the same without them!”

“Great coffee, staff and of course CATS”

“Just home from a Wednesday evening dinner at The Refinery. I strongly recommend the kale salad and pumpkin agnolotti. A delicious combination of flavors..... fresh greens with tangy dressing, and the most tender agnolotti with fresh pumpkin sweetness. Good food for the soul, cozy atmosphere, and welcoming staff. Thank you, Kathy”

“We're on board with, and on record as saying to all our friends that, MVD is our favorite spot. But since we like trying new places too, we had to come back for the first time in over a year. It's not just the variety of tapas options, or the incredible wine selection, or the impeccable hospitality that will keep you coming back; it's the culinary journey rarely taken where the food transports you and you just sit back speechless thinking, “that was IT, where has this been?” You'll leave completely stuffed, and they'll be drinks… lots of drinks; but the concoctions are adventurous and more than worth trying a few of, and that's before you get to the wine list. They know their stuff; they travel the world to find inspiration for their own curated menu, but bring lesser-known varietals to the forefront that really challenge your palate and leave you needing to speak directly to the associate at the wine and spirits store, in the best way possible. If you have an unoaked chardonnay available, I immediately like you! You don't have to wait long once you order for those tasty shareable plates to come firing out; they're quick, efficient but also know how to help you pace your meal. Funny thing about this meal (that we shared with another couple we go touring with) is that it turned into a Catholic-guided, Lent-abiding seafood extravaganza, which was not necessarily our goal on approach. I love when a place really surprises you with things you wouldn't typically think to pair together or even order, and they become some of your favorite things altogether. Case in point, the escargot; most escargot I've ever had was rubbery, soaked in butter and masked with garlic. None of that was going on here, and they even did the work for you with the shells. Anything fried (empanadas, yuca fries, oysters, seabass tacos) had a very even, full but thin breading. Not a trace of residual oil, nothing heavy about it and still the right temp inside to not blast the filling. I really enjoyed the oysters, and the pickled radish and shallot would be good as an accompaniment for ANYTHING. The chimichurri is spot on, and anytime it appears on the menu, which it does several times, you should get those items. The butter sauce with a camarones was drinkable, the empanadas never disappoint, and the almond tart with wine-poached pears for dessert was literal perfection. Overall, our favorite drink was the Holy Smokes and they have a team-oriented approach to presenting dishes table side. Fun and friendly, the staff is knowledgeable, patient and has great personal recommendations, all with legit culinary knowledge. Go…like, now!”

“Excellent service, Richard was so nice! Food is always great!! Best kept secret! Mongolian beef was excellent! Ditto for the sushi!”

“Nicely decorated and comfortable. Some of the best pizza and baked goods I’ve ever had. 👍💯”

“Good People, Good Tea, Good Place !!!”

“Friendliest staff, food is yummy and consistent, old school and relaxed environment.”

“Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn’t greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it’s probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn’t even have to specify (that’s my Dunkin’ hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn’t too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There’s table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done!”

“The BEST PIZZA! Wing pizza with blue cheese/pizza cheese/wing sauce and their famous red sauce! It’s just awesome! It hits the sweet side and a bit of spice !! Just too good! There’s no pizza that comes close! Yummy! Along with any other pizza with toppings! Win win !”

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!”

“We ordered the party pails for my son’s birthday party and they were great! You’re given the coolers, scoopers, spoons and cups. The staff was great to work with and the kids loved the Italian ice at the party. I will definitely order again and 100% recommend!”

“Great food, fast service. never had a bad meal here!”
