50 Best American Restaurants near Taylor

“Rich's Restaurant is an absolute gem. The waitstaff here are incredibly attentive and helpful. You will rarely see your coffee cup drop more than a quarter of the way down before a smiling server is there with a refill. Even if you're a heavy coffee guzzler, they'll practically be standing by, pot in hand, waiting for eye contact the second the mug leaves your face. They are that good! They make a genuine effort to get to know you and make you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. If you’re looking for that warm, small-town feel—and that extra welcoming touch you can't quite put into words—Rich’s is the place.

The food completely speaks for itself. I haven't had a bad meal here yet. They offer a ton of great specials on the weekends, and you absolutely must try their gumbo. It’s a legendary staple within those four walls.

As for the prices, they are exactly what you'd expect nowadays. They aren't overly expensive, but they aren't cheap either—they sit right in that perfect sweet spot that allows a family to enjoy a Saturday morning breakfast ritual without breaking the bank.

Give it a try! I think you’ll really enjoy the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Our family absolutely loves it, and hopefully, we’ll see you there soon. I'll be the guy in the corner stuffing my face with the Birdie Special! 😉“

“Looking for a sit down restaurant while traveling through the area. We didn't expect to be blown away by the amazing meal that we had at Harvest. We couldn't decide what to eat and so shared a lot of smaller items. Our young kids enjoyed their food and mocktails as well.“

“This was our first visit to High Bridge House. The entire restaurant is spacious with plenty of different seating area. The menu is extensive with choices of full entrees, sandwiches, soups. Salads and desserts. The staff is excellent. They are very attentive and very cautious about food allergies. There's a full service Bar and plenty of parking. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to more visits.“

“My family, friends, and I love this place! We attend for a lot of the festivals they have, especially the corn festival, and their flights are always a nice drink during our dinners. I also appreciate the atmosphere and it being quiet, but not too quiet, and a very relaxed but professional space. Staff is always super nice, speedy, and conversational, which makes the experience as a whole welcoming and pleasant. I love taking people here when I can!“

“I've been wanting to go there for a long time. Stopped for a burger for dinner. The band was setting up and I enjoyed my food and a few adult beverages. Barmaid was attentive and everything was great until I was leaving. The guy watching the door must have been having a bad day.“

“first time at your restaurant and the food was fabulous! definitely will be back“

“Enjoying a pleasant meal out is always a treat, and Stirna's never fails to impress. My husband and I chose it for our anniversary dinner, and from the moment we stepped inside, the wait staff provided top-notch service, making us feel genuinely welcome. The food was delicious, and those legendary Stirna's brownies are always a must for a sweet treat. Much thanks to Cathy and her team.“

Definitely a place I would recommend for a quality dining experience.“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“The Cafe is a comfortable spot for lunch or dinner. The food choices are posted on the wall for customer consideration and ordering at the counter. The food is mysteriously delivered by a member of the staff. I chose a chicken Caesar wrap. It was full of chicken but was a bit dry on this occasion, more lettuce and dressing was needed. It was served with potato chips (meh) and a pickle chip. My friend ordered a club sandwich with special modifications. It also was served with potato chips. We each enjoyed soft drinks -- lemonade and Sprite. A full bar is available which includes specialty coffees. I recommend this long-standing restaurant.“

“do not let the location fool you, great place to stop“

“Always a great lunch and fabulous service!!“

“Great hospitality! Totally best experience.“

“I attended a Bridal shower, for my future daughter in law, at the Apple Tree House Restaurant. It was wonderful! The food was excellent! I can't say enough about how great the entire staff was! Michelle and Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly! Thank you all on a job well done! I highly recommend the Apple Tree House Restaurant!“

“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!“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“

“My wife and I are new to the area and wanted to try a new restaurant. I went online and saw that there was a country style diner complete with homemade desserts and huge portions. I had the Barell Burger and my wife had the Blue Burger. First off, you are really taken in by all the great decor in the restaurant. This place reminds me of Country Junction in Lehighton how they have it decorated. The coffee mugs are huge! We had dana and Carly as our servers and when I tell you these two are hands down the happiest waitresses I've ever had wait on us. You really can tell that they love thier customers. We will be back on Sunday for breakfast. Great place.“

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

“Food was 5 star.Service was acceptable and bar service was a disappointment. I had a simple drink order and they couldn't get it right in 2 tries. Not sure if the waiter played a role in this. I still give Bucatini a high rating because of the food quality.“

“We follow some NEPA eatery pages and hot wing groups to find good places for my husband and I to get wings! We had Haggerty's wings for the first time yesterday and they were hands down the best wings I've ever had. They were perfectly cooked crispy wings and delicious sauce, perfect blue cheese and crunchy (not wilted) celery! They won us over and we will definitely be back for some hot wings! (Also their other apps were excellent!) They staff was pleasant the atmosphere is so inviting! Can't wait to come again for a beer and wings!“

“Service was great and went with recommendations, was not disappointed. So many great options to choose from and then they have daily specials. I'll definitely go back as there's so much more I need to try. Again, the service was above all the best part. She was nice, friendly and attentive.“

“Absolutely amazing service and such great food. I couldn’t recommend enough. Every single person we interacted with was extremely nice. The food was literally AMAZING. I love it here so much.“

“The best lemon greek chicken orzo soup ever. Drove up from New Jersey to buy two quarts for my boyfriend who was sick 🤧 with the flu 😷..“

“Stopped in for lunch with a friend. We both had the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich. That is a very tasty sandwich and we both enjoyed it very much. The steak fries were perfect. Our server was friendly, helpful, and very attentive. It was a nice time made very enjoyable.
Great food, good service and nice atmosphere.“

“Popped in the Wilkes-Barre, PA TGI Fridays for lunch. Great, fast, friendly service. The sampler platter was delicious.“

“I have dined here several times and the food was awsome. I had the crabcakes. I was really excited to see two large crabcakes. I was a little confused as why they would serve with mashed potato's but I went with the flow. Honestly they were the worst crabcakes ever. No taste. All breading!. Insult to injury..our server took my plate back and I heard nothing! Not the servers fault.. he was awsome. I will not be back because chefs should stand behind their food.“

“Stopped by for chili dogs after winning a giveaway contest through Facebook group, 100% recommend. Nice crisp in each bite & chili sauce was packed with flavor!“

I was told that they have very good buffalo wings so I ordered some. They have the best wings in town. My friend asked me to try a bite of her plate and I did and it was super good. I do recommend joining this place.“

“Nostalgic atmosphere. great food, welcoming staff!“

“Incredibly friendly and attentive staff, large portions of fantastic food at very affordable prices. We ordered a cheesesteak, bacon cheese fries, and the chicken croquette dinner, which came with soup or salad, and a chunk of crusty bread, and everything was delicious. Best croquettes I've ever had. Will definitely be 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.“

“Our first visit a few weeks ago left a great impression on us. So much so last night we took our family & friends to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. Since there were 17 of us we sat at the bar & 2 bar height tables. We felt since there were many of us we chose to go as soon as they opened. This we felt did not take away during their busy dinner time. Great service, great food & awesome time was had by all. I can’t say enough of how wonderful this place is. The owners did everything to please us and we were not disappointed. Thank you “Hooked”. We will be back. 10/10“
