18 Best American Restaurants near Tafton

“Came here the other night. If I didn't know it was BYOB I'd say the vibe was a bit like a funeral parlor, but the lack of a bar scene will do that. But it was no issue because we were told it was byob and picked up a nice Cab on the way. Place is very nice. The fireplace is garishly massive. Seriously. It takes up 60% of the floor space and produces zero heat. If I were the owner I'd scale it down and get 8 more tables in there. That said, service was good although our server was admittedly overwhelmed, she kept up nicely. Entres were good decent price. No complaints. Salads were lacking however. Our only issue is the appetizer menu is very odd and limited. The Brie was served with and exceptional amount of blueberry juice and rice crackers which is a very odd pairing. They would do well to refresh the apps and provide a bit more "pubby" things like calamari. I know they are trying to be fine dining, however with the refrigerated case with the deserts right when you walk in and the massive porch, hints of Cracker Barrel come through. All in all will try it again.“

“Neighborhood Bar in a secluded spot in Greentown.....while it does seem that everyone who comes in know one another, the staff wear shirts stating "there are no strangers here, only friends you haven't yet met" and we were certainly made to feel that way....staff is friendly and attentive......the menu is small and understand that it is bar food.....however it is definitely above average.....wings are very good and you can choose from many different sauces or dry rubs.....we have only had the cheesesteak hero here but it is what they are known for and you can order a half or whole and have different options including chicken or steak....I certainly recommend trying Mountainhouse Tavern.....you just might go in for dinner and extend your stay at the bar with new friends while listening to local bands.......“

“We went here for pre- dinner cocktails and didn't want to leave. This place is full of old school charm. The staff made us feel at home immediately. You could certainly tell who the regulars were and they too made us feel welcome. This place will continue to be in the rotation for fun while at the lake.“

“Friendly folks there! Bar is huge. Ordered cheeseburger and fries.Seasoning on burger was outstanding!! Fries were seasoned as well! My mouth and tummy were so enthralled with the chef!!! No excuse to not come back. Best burger and fries ever!!!!“

“Little gem next to the river. Staff were kind and food was delicious. It was great priced and a wonderful variety. Only downside if you have a baby they do not have a changing table in the bathroom also stalk doors are very short so not much privacy when you use bathroom.Parking: Plenty of parking as long as you get there before they are busy. It is definitely a place people enjoy which fills parking lot quickly.“

“Great local spot in the area. The staff is very friendly and the food came out fast. I got the Pittsburg burger which came with crispy fries and we also got pierogis and penne a la vodka. Def good picks, would like to try the rest of the menu!“

“My husband & I organized a little 3 nite get-away to Woodloch Resort (Pines area) for ourselves, 3 other couples & one single friend. We are all in our 60s so everyone has had years to solidly determine they like their creature comforts. We are a pretty well-traveled group so some not easily impressed. Hubby, myself & our single friend have all been to Woodloch a few times & love it! We have never visited in November & hoped there would be enough for us to do. Planning to please 6 other adults left us with fingers-crossed, as inevitably there is always someone who feels a restaurant, hotel, etc. didn't quite meet their expectations. However for this trip, every person LOVED it!! The check-in is not until 5:00 pm but we were allowed to get our wristbands & enjoy the amenities of the resort while we waited for a text that our room was ready. The 3 couples each had Deluxe Lakeview accommodations in the Greenbriar bldg., attached to main building. They were thrilled with the beautiful view each morning from their room or while on their private balcony/patio. They were able to walk to the dining room, night club/show area, sports bar, or lobby which was our usual meeting point, all without going outside. They were right there for mini-golf, bocci, etc. For those traveling with kids it is close to the big playground, water slide in summer or snowtubing in winter, pedal boats or rowboats. My husband, friend & I shared an Edgewater Suite which had a full kitchen, a large bedroom with 2 queen beds, living room with pull out sleeper couch which my friend said was comfortable (but that's based on someone who regularly falls asleep lying on her couch - LOL) & a washer & dryer. Very spacious. It was a little bit of a walk to the main bldg which was no issue for hubs & me but my friend has walking issues. No problem there - there were 3 shuttles that ran right up until midnight. Never a long wait & at times we called the front desk if we knew she just missed it & another shuttle was immediately dispatched. When she asked an employee for a safe way to walk down to the pontoon boat ride as to not go down a somewhat steep walkway they offered to call for a golf cart ride & were right there with it. The one word to describe every employee would be "Accommodating!" Now, of course, food is also important. We had a meal plan that included breakfast & dinner. Both meals each day were plentiful, very good, good variety (breakfast standard crowd-pleasers of eggs any style, home fries, bacon/sausage/turkey bacon, & their homemade bread & morning cake (amazing crumb cake one day, an apple crumb another, etc.), or egg white frittata for those seeking a healthier alternative, just to name a few. Dinner always had homemade soup, family style serving of salad & veggie plus 4 entree choices that included an option for non-meat eaters. Of course, those delicious homemade breads were right there for the taking. Even when stuffed you must try their made-on-premises creamy ice cream. So delicious! The wait staff was attentive & pleasant. Jorge was our waiter for the first couple of days & just the nicest guy always greeting us even when not assigned to our table. Although lunch was not in our plan there was a Deli at the Inn at Woodloch that we visited each day. Homemade soup was great & a large choice of made to order sandwiches The sandwich price was generally a reasonable $10 & for the amt on that sandwich & given the fact Boars Head cold cuts are used I felt that was more than fair. Those with a family could always buy cold cuts & fresh Italian bread from another deli/store by the gas station within the resort premises & make their own. Each room has a fridge. There were plenty of activities: Name that Tune, Minute to Win it, bocci, mini-golf, pedal boats still operating in this cool weather, Go-Carts, & these senior citizens even went into child mode & did the bumper cars! We tried archery which Kayne was manning. He showed the “

“So happy our other choice for dinner was closed! If anything, to remind us how much we love it here! I’ve seen some reviews about service times, yes, it can be a wait. The staff and owners have placed signage to notify all patrons of same, Well worth any wait. Sit, enjoy a cocktail and the food!“

“We chose the Settlers in for a place to dine in celebration of our anniversary. The Settlers Inn was highly recommended by a friend of mine. We arrived for an early dinner. The atmosphere was quaint the attention of the staff to our needs was superior to most places. The food was amazing! We give the chef our compliments. In short if you are looking for a dinning experience with charm, here is the place.“

“Great little coffee shop. Fresh brewed coffee, lots of milk alternatives including oat milk, and fresh baked pastries and made to order sandwiches. The place was packed and stayed busy for the entire hour we spent here and they kept the line moving, drinks and food coming out fast even with only two people.“

“While this restaurant in Woodloch Springs is not the fine dining experience one could have at Tree (adults only) across the road in The Lodge, it serves its purpose well. It can accommodate groups, perfect for lunch after golf, and offers comfort food to the entire family. Good beer selection, friendly staff and plenty of parking. We came in for small bites with our friends and their 2yr old and had a good time.“

“Saw some negative reviews so I wanted to set the record straight, this place is amazing! Not only is the staff always kind and great but the food is always awesome I always get the pizza as well as the chicken fingers and fries, in my opinion the Chicken fingers are some of the best I've ever had! The wings are pretty awesome too and always a speedy delivery. I don't have a problem with them changing around the menu or even the dining area because I always order out and if you wanted to you could still eat there, there's a back deck. This place is a staple of the area for me and will continue to always get my business whenever me and my family are around! Thank you Rollys, You are the BEST! 10/10 recommend for a quick bite!“

“My wife and I visited this place for the first time. There are not a lot of tables in the place and a lot of space between them. We were invited to sit, later they told us the table was reserved, but later they told us (again) that we don’t have to move. They apologized for the misunderstanding.Other than that moment, everything else was good. The food was good, the service, the wine and the salad.I got the pasta with scallops and I liked it.The prices were aceptable as well. No complaints on that.If I am around, I will visit again. Salute!“

“Omg the food is amazing here. We just bought a place out here and stumbled on to this restaurant been here three times so far ordered different things and I have to say … everything is so good . Met the chef and she is so nice.You really can’t go wrong here. I don’t like fast food but the food here is so good and the portions are so good you will come in hungry and leave very satisfied .Kid-friendliness: I came with the kids super friendly“

“local pub atmosphere not a problem just wasn't expecting it and with menu option and prices. I thought it would be a little bit more upscale. But if you know what you're in for the staff was fantastic. They were accommodating. They were friendly. They were knowledgeable. The food was excellent. The portions were plentiful.The prices were a bit on the high side to be honest $80 for a steak is not the norm and the size was not so large that it was unable in one sitting ?Besides that there was also plenty of parking I would definitely return and you go in casual clothing and enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the fantastic foodThere are many less expensive options on the menu .“

“Pleasantly surprised by this spot nearby Lake Wallenpaupack.... Impressive looking cocktail menu that didn't disappoint and the food was fantastic! Service came with a smile and was great as well. My only complaint was that it took a long time to be greeted, which I had previously heard about this establishment.“

“Dining at The Boat House was a great experience. The ambiance was inviting, setting the stage for a memorable meal. Highlights included the flawlessly crispy catfish, golden calamari, and an exceptional eggplant tower that impressed us all. While the penne with vodka pasta and chicken waffle were decent, they didn’t quite match up to the other offerings.The pork chops were another highlight, perfectly juicy and delicious. Our meal was further enhanced by an inventive cocktail menu that didn’t disappoint. The strawberry cheesecake for dessert was simply divine, ending our meal on a high note.A special mention must go to our server, whose kindness and attentiveness made our dining experience even more special. The Boat House is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and impeccable service.“

“Gorgeous setting amongst the waterfalls! Great patio space and beautiful bar area. Service was great...the team works together to make sure that everyone is taken care of (regardless of any “that's not my section” mentality) Passing through, so not sure of a return...but if we do make it back to the area, Glass will definitely be a stop! Thank you!“
