New American Restaurants near Trucksville, PA

“We rented one of the outdoor igloos in early March. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was delicious and perfectly plated. The cocktails were unique and delicious. Our waitress, Ariana, was fantastic! Would absolutely recommend and we will be back!“

“We had excellent dinners tonight at Cork! There are so many options to chose from on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone! My dinner came with sweet mashed potatoes and they were amazing! Our waiter Justin was also very attentive along with the rest of the staff. :)“

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

“My daughter had a pop-up cookie booth slangin’ samoas down the street, so we do-si-do’d into Bistro to explore more of their menu, father/son tapas edition.

The ambiance is quiet and low-lit, tough for menu reading post-40 but just what the doctor ordered after a loud, busy, sensory-filled day. My tag-along insisted on the clams, not knowing what etouffee was, and he really questioned the roasted peanuts on the sticky Asian ribs, but they reeled me in.

There was a lot going on with the prosciutto wrapped dates, and my best guy steered clear of the adventureful bowl, but between bites of crispy prosciutto and sweet date, with a pronounced blue cheese and hot honey kick, I was cleaning up that hummus like I was a butternut squash ambassador.

Not to be outranked, the Southern fried chicken tacos may have been the best bang for our buck; they were absolutely delicious and you can't even get fast food chicken tacos at that price point; very impressive. Can't wait to get back!“

“Best omelettes I've ever had & the very best waffles I've ever tasted in my life!“

“I want to thank the manager, Joe and all of his staff for making our get-together at Isabella’s perfect!! From the ambience, the food and the staff, it was wonderful.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for a night out or for a group gathering. It was 5 Star all around!
Thank you again, Joe and the entire staff taking care of our group tonight!!“

“Marty’s seems to have been a firm family favorite and suggestion to others for….well, since I can remember. Seems like they’ve been open since the mid-80’s, circa my start date as well. I can’t really say it’s a ‘hidden gem’ because it’s notoriously mentioned in many circles as the “have you ever been to THIS place??” place, but people usually answer YES, with wide eyes and a few memorable dish notes. We went for a mid-week date night, and there was a constant flow of seemingly satisfied diners. The ambiance was warm and cozy, not too dimly lit but very deliberately paced with the huge portions they offer; the service was top-notch, friendly and knowledgeable, always checking back at the right times and knowing what we would need as guests. We ordered several of their suggestions with no reservations, and they delivered. My fiance still talks about that apple cider margarita and it’s firmly on the list of not-too-hard-to-make restaurant favorites we roll out for our guests at home. The stuffed mushrooms had a ton of crab meat and far less breading than most, without being saturated or too heavy to start the meal. The salads are certainly slept on; neatly arranged but never the star when pitted up against their hearty steak or cajun offerings, their house salads are hard to beat, unless you're paying up for a meal-type salad. As good as those two items were, the scallops I had with their cracker-encrusted light breading were the epitome of simple, sauteed, buttery-by-nature seafood; they were the best version of scallops like that I’ve ever had. And the dessert…just perfect for so many reasons; crispy and gooey caramelized bananas, a good amount of vanilla ice cream and the best cinnamony syrup sauce that I couldn’t stop lapping up. Really, a fantastic experience, we’ll be back!“

“A + service and food. The fresh unsweetened tea was delicious. I had three. My salad was stellar. We were a party of six and everyone enjoyed their food. The chocolate chip cookies were recommended and We know why!!! I will return for another one of these salads.“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Rustic Kitchen truly lives up to its name with a warm, inviting atmosphere and food that feels like it was made with real care. The standout of the meal was without a doubt the chicken parm—absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and topped with rich, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese. Every bite was packed with comfort and authentic flavor.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Rustic Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, this is a must-order and easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! 🍽️🔥“

“Went to lunch here with my mom during an extremely busy lunch time on weekend and it was still such a great experience. The staff were all so pleasant even though they were running around like crazy. They took a bit to get my tea and I didnt even mind but yet they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal just as an apology, which they didn't even need to do, I understood fully they were just busy. We will absolutely be back!!! Wonderful customer service, worth every penny.“

“The sausage and pepperoni pizza is outstanding and to top that, the garden salad is about the best around! The “small” is more than enough for 2 people. The prices here are surprisingly reasonable, as well. This place should be packed!“

“I love you food selection. Mostly love the Wilkes-Barre tshirts. I'm from TEXAS and was born in Kingston,PA. My family live from Wilkes-Barre to Shickshinny to Berwick.“

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.“

“We had my Son & Daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner there on 10/10/2025 in their event space upstairs. We had the event room & outside patio for about 50 people. I live in Vermont and communicating with Chef Jimbo was a delight. He was quick to respond and offered suggestions and was very enthusiastic and helpful. Chef Jimbo went above and beyond to make this event special & memorable. The food was delicious south western style food and service was outstanding. All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. After dinner it became a welcome party for the Wedding guests in town - a most memorable & enjoyable evening. If I lived closer and had to host an event they would be #1 on my list.“

“Love sitting at the bar and grabbing a drink with my friends! Their peach martini is definitely my fave!“

“Amazing!!!! we had fantastic drinks, service, and food!!“
