10 Best Bar & Grill near Waymart

“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.“

“AJ’s is the best place to go to have a great time and enjoy yourself. The bar staff is outstanding and extremely friendly. They works very hard running around all night during events serving drinks and food. Danny, one of the owner’s, is very accommodating to everyone. I like the fact that Danny joins in with all of his customers right on the dance floor then makes the dash to clean the tables off and make sure everybody has what they need. We’ve eaten there many times and the food is always great. Outstanding kitchen! I highly recommend going to a place that is fun to be at to have a good time. The bands that Danny gets are absolutely fantastic and top-notch. Give AJ’s a try for yourself. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.“

“Excellant service …… Great food“

“Finally had the time to checkout all what everyone was talking about and the Peanut Bar didn't disappoint food was delicious staff is great Mike is committed to the area.“

“I’ve been by this place since 1986 and never stopped. I stopped today for the first time to meet a very professional and friendly bartender Emma. She not only was friendly but kept the three customers and myself entertained while I waited for my food. Getting back to the lake house, the food was not only delicious but great portions! I recommend this establishment to all who pass by. Stop in and enjoy good service and good food! Signed Bill from outside Philly.“

“Had food from this cafe during my last trip to Kerala , must say amazing food with great quality /taste .👏 Highly recommended to try once 👍🥗🥙🍜🥣“

“We are new to the area and decided to try take out at DG's. Hands down best food in the area we have tried. We ordered a cheese steak, southwest bacon burger, the Weezer, a chicken cheese steak, and a 12 cut original pie. Everything was phenomenal! Family of 5 stuffed with tons left over for tomorrow.“

“The wings are perfection. The pizza? CHEESY!! definitely recommend! The steak and cheese is the best in the area !“

“Really nice establishment with tons to do. From a sledding hill, rage room, bar, gift shop, water pad and more. There’s something to do for everyone

Staff is friendly and efficient.

We had dinner here for four and had a great meal. 2 people in my party swear by the Mac and cheese. I got a side salad and the chicken tenders.

We got the pretzel appetizer and really loved the beer cheese.“
