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.“

“Outstanding Service - Fabulous Food. Highly recommend the Peanut Butter Smash Burger. Great atmosphere, they were streaming Next Level Chef episode when Chef Von won with his smash burger. If I lived in Scranton I'd be there once a week for lunch.“

“We have been here multiple times and I have never had a bad experience. Food is very good- amazing homemade pierogi-service has always been amazing, and even though we've been quoted wait times of 45 minutes, we have always been seated within 30 minutes. This is a well run restaurant!“

“amazing , amazing, amazing breakfast 😋 😍 and service.“

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

“A Gem of a restaurant in Eynon pa. Every employee is friendly, even for how busy they are. Usually need a reservation for weekends. The food is always fantastic. My wife had the lobster tails, I had the Mandarin glazed Salmon. This was our third visit. We are consistently impressed with service, timing of each course and taste. Great soups, great red beet salad. Even better entres. The building is dated, but well kept. Most of the employees have long tenure. The chef stopped by our table to check on us, really nice guy. We decided we should keep this spot for our date nights. Price maybe high? But I was glad to pay it and left a good tip, because the server deserved it.“

“10 out of 10 recommend Fork N Bowl. My grandson has celiacs and it was a stress free experience. No worries about cross contamination because EVERYTHING is gluten free. The staff was so friendly and patient. Did I mention how delicious the food is?“

“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.“

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

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“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.“

“Beautiful place, this visit, the food just wasn't on par. We had the shrimp scampi for one of our dishes and just not what we were used to I guess as a scampi. It was more so a served in a flavorless gravy. My husband had about 3-4 bites then let the server take it away and finished the dinner bread. Maybe we hit it on a bad night. Our calimari, soup, and Reuben were all great. I just felt bad my husband couldn't enjoy his dinner.“

“My husband and I just had lunch yesterday.he had the most generous delicious turkey sandwich. I had the fish sandwich with arugula tomato etc. Both were excellent. Also love the fact Kay and Jermay so personable always acknowledge us. A great business idea. Thank you both.“

“Best food & service. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“

“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!“

“Excellent service. Quality menu & food.😊“

“Great food. Wonderful people.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Love the food, drinks & overall vibe!“

“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!“

“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 came here and had shareables. My sister got the French onion soup which looked and tasted delicious. The atmosphere can be updated but it does fit the menu and climate. I had the ham and cheese triple decker and it was so fresh and wheat bread was amazing. Recommend.“

“Golfing, Venue and Dining.“

“I'm so glad that my friends invited me to join them on Friday night. Place was packed what they had enough Boston goes behind the bar to take orders.. 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.“
