“The gravity is always our favorite go to restaurant for our family! The staff is wonderful and the food is always delicious. It doesn't matter if you have a table of 2 or a table of 10. The food is always on point! Anytime anyone asks where would I recommend to eat, The gravity is the place!“

“This is a classic, great spot. It is not a regular place for us but it's worth the drive. It has been around for years but they always keep it fresh! It never disappoints! The food menu has something for everyone and has unique offerings. The whiskey, beer and drink menu will have you coming back to try something new every time! We happened to stop in during their Octoberfest and I enjoyed the wurst platter with rotkohl and spätzle. 👌“

“We decided to come here on our way back from visiting our grandchildren. Our first time here. I was very impressed with the cozy atmosphere; very homey and welcoming. We were served with delicious rolls and as Pepsi fans were delighted that they offered that! My husband ordered cabbage rolls and was over the moon with how amazing they tasted. When I go to a place I’ve never been to I always get the turkey dinner if they have it. I asked before I ordered it if it was real turkey or deli turkey and I was told it was real. It came with a choice of potato, cranberry sauce, vegetable and homemade stuffing. For me the stuffing is the game changer. Everything was absolutely amazing!! We are absolutely coming back!“

“Food is always to die for! Unique flavors & attention to detail. Gotta make this place one of my regular spots!“

“Great food and friendly down home atmosphere“

“Been going there since 1961, mom use to take us after shopping at Newberry’s It’s wonderful the business is still open and doing good after all these years. And still love the gutheinz hot dog 🌭 chili dog! Unfortunately since dad passed we’re all retired, Martines Shoe Shop no longer“

“Just came from there got an Italian hoagie two days in a row hoagie meat fresh and ample a great hoagie for a great price great service place is roomy and clean lots of parking“

“We just can’t get our timing right!! Always stealing away to the Waymart, off-season. We’ve HEARD, that they have an incredible outdoor grill setup…We’ve HEARD, that the Wrangler BBQ pit was custom made in Indiana…We’ve HEARD, that the cherry and applewood smoked meats are on display under their pavilion….But We’ve only been able to TASTE their winter options; an award-winning tray of Old Fashion square (sweeter sauce, two cheese blend), a toasted Cuban with seasoned gravy fries and a crock of French onion soup to boot. It really hit the spot as we split town for the Catskills, and began our journey with some NEPA non-negotiables. Guess we'll have to find our way back once the winter weather breaks.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Terrific staff quick service. I drove for an hour and 20 minutes away. I’m going back often.!“

“Had a Brunch at the Highlands today after a funeral and the meal was great. A hidden gem. Try it“

“We were introduced to a tasting of The Cashew Lounge on a wine train event we attended in Carbondale this past Fall. We have been wanting to get to the actual restaurant since then and decided it was a nice sunny Sunday why not take a ride today as we live about 40 minutes away. So glad we did, it was so worth the trip. The food was top notch, the service was fabulous! Everyone was attentive and knowledgeable and some of the friendliest staff we have ever encountered in a restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and clean! The food from appetizer to dessert was A+. We had the Buffalo Chicken Empanadas as an appetizer, homemade and sooo good!. I had the Gnocchi in Vodka Sauce as my entree and it came with choice of soup , I chose the Tomato Basil. Wow, no words , both were wonderful. My husband also chose the Tomato Basil soup and as his Entree chose the Chicken Parmesan over pasta which had a nice twist, it was served with Vodka Sauce instead of the usual red sause. He thought it was delicious! If you leave here hungry that's definitely on you, the portions are huge and we both brought home leftovers. We couldn't resist the Creme Brulee Donut dessert special OMG!! As a side note I never know what kind of cocktail I want order, so I simply said, surprise me with something sweet and fun! They sure did deliver , a chocolate covered strawberry martini , it was so yummy. Thanks for being so playful with my request, most places just kind of give me a look , lol. We even got to chat with the owner, such a nice guy! Thanks for a wonderful first experience, we will definitely be putting The Cashew Lounge on our restaurant rotation!!! Give it a try, you will be glad you did! Thanks again! Greg & Anne“

“Every Sunday after church my husband and I go out to eat breakfast 😋 we live a 15-18 minute away from Pinky's I'm always in Carbondale and use work in Carbondale at Gentex for 6 years and never stopped here to eat... Well OMGGGG I was most definitely missing out on some great food. Let me tell you we ordered what we wanted and before we knew it our food was on the table lightning speed if 10 minutes went we didn't notice!! The service was excellent food cooked to perfection 🥰 my waitress was McKenzie and she was so polite and attentive to the point that I asked to take a picture with her 😀. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was clean the bathroom was clean as well“

“A ton of great options for both breakfast and lunch! Such a friendly and helpful staff. The Reuben was perfect and the peanut butter pie was delicious!“

“Stopped in tonight for dinner and it was amazing! The service was great. Marie is very friendly and attentive. I recommend you stop in. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well worth it anytime you go!“

“Went this evening for the first time. Great food, awesome service and excellent espresso martinis. Will definitely return.“

“Phenomenal food, atmosphere & people! This place is a gem & worth the drive no matter where you're from! I took my husband for his birthday.

He had veal parmigiana w linguine & salad. I had pappardelle bolognese w italian wedding soup. The bread was warm w oil for dipping & the entrees served hot as they should be. (it was obvious that nothing was sitting waiting to come out of the kitchen)

The waitstaff are super friendly & attentive and the cocktails- a bloody mary & tiramisu martini were excellent!

Dessert was brownie ala mode w a candle & song for hubs, and tiramisu for me.

Perfection from start to finish! Get familiar w Joseph's Family Restaurant in Peckville! Phil and his team are waiting for you! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Such a great spot! The food is incredibly delicious—definitely a must-stop if you’re in the area!“

“Happened upon this place in the middle of nowhere and decides to give it a try. Have to say one of the best reubens I've had and great onion rings. Also tried the chicken cheese steak with rave reviews. Hopefully I'll have a reason to be in the middle of nowhere again!“

“Pizza has been phenomenal recently“

“Love coming here. Great breakfasts and the coffee is always amazing. Went this past Saturday and got the special with the apple blossoms they were phenomenal. I hope you guys have them again❤️“

“My family loves Leo's. I finally made it there today with my Grandson. We met family. We had the best waitress. She's 80(sorry for saying your age). Be proud. As a waitress myself for 30 plus yrs, Its not easy. She went above and beyond while we waited for the rest of our party. The pizza may be the best I've had in a longtime. The chef sent out a tray as courtesy. Love that. Can't wait to get a chance to go back. Hidden gem.“

“So much to say about this amazing establishment. Food is excellent. Drinks are amazing and there list of available drinks if one of the largest I've ever seen. The wait staff has always been on point. they are friendly and quick to get your drink refilled. there is so much to do between there live music venues, multiple pool tables, slots, or just hang out on there outdoor patio. all around this place is a must go“

“In my top 5 Restaurants in the Mid-Valley. Asset to the community!“

“An open thank you to the people who make a difference.
This glowing review-turned-thank-you isn’t without its bias.
Lynnie and Caroline have been part of my life since high school, and The Crossroads is where I learned so many of my early life lessons. But now, at 40, with a family of my own, it’s something even more important.
The Crossroads is one of my safe places.
It’s where I can be myself. No mask. No pretending. No editing who I am.
It’s always felt like home — like time somehow hasn’t changed us.
But last night, while celebrating my dad’s 75th birthday there, something hit me in a way it never had before. I looked around the room and had to hold back tears.
Because David was safe there too.
Most of you know Davey has autism. Restaurants are usually not safe spaces for us. There are often judgmental looks, impatient staff, and that familiar “autism mom” feeling of being watched and judged — even when he’s just quietly stimming under the table.
But last night was different.
David played freely.
He laughed.
He smiled.
He ate pool cue chalk… and no one charged me.
No one told me to contain him.
No one asked what was wrong with him.
No one stared.
No one made me feel like we didn’t belong.
Instead, our normal simply existed there.
Zurg and Buzz battled on the pool table.
Jumba wandered through the restaurant and bar keeping a watchful eye.
David stimmed loudly with two devices and ran joyful circles around the room.
And we laughed.
And now I’m crying the happiest tears.
Because my safe place…
is his safe place too.
Thank you, Crossroads, for being the kind of place that makes families like mine feel like we belong.
It means more than you could ever know.“

“You Need To Know? Came here based on a recommendation from a friend. Bellied up to the bar & had cold drinks & bar fare. On this occasion we had the jalapeños cheeseburger, chicken tenders & fries & cheesesteak. The food was your normal bar food, good flavors. Would like to return for some different sauces. Environment was very cool & the girls behind the bar worked very well together. Good stop for those in the Dickson City area.“

“Pizza is runny, but let it sit and lt is good. I got a personal pan and a 8in chicken parmigiana hoagie and soda for just under 10 dollars. Very inexpensive, not the best I've ever had, but for the price I was satisfied and staff were nice and sociable. Will stop again.“

“the wings and sauces were very good! will be back :)“
