“Finally got around to trying both their square and round pizza since it's only $10 for a 16-in. The round has very thin crust which I personally like. I'm not a pizza professor so I can't tell you what kind of cheese or whatever may have gone into the ingredients to give you an idea of what the outcome is but I thought it was good. The slices are definitely not as hefty as you would find at maybe Napoli's or in the Wilkes-Barre area Nello's to give an idea. But for $10 I would not pass this up. As for the square variety again not a pizza professor but it's comparable to most everything else around here. I would say at least in the square tray that I got the crust seemed a little too hard for my liking. But again no joke for a full tray for $10.“

“Food was absolutely DELICIOUS! The coconut mojito was to die for. Service was great. The waitresses were friendly and accommodating. The owner made it a point to stop and talk to us and wish me a happy birthday. I definitely will be going back.“

“Authentic Mexican food — SO fresh! The salsa is amazing and there is a big variety of tacos prepared with traditional Mexican ingredients. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I had several questions about some items on the menu I was unfamiliar with- I learned a lot! Portion sizes are very generous -including the $7 Happy Hour Margaritas, which are made with fresh squeezed lime juice. No mixers here! My husband’s comment when we first tasted our food: “they definitely don’t take short cuts here”. This is a great addition to downtown WB - can’t wait to go back!“

“It was my boyfriend and mines first time here and it was AMAZING, he got the crab grilled cheese and I got the house panini and it was delicious, the staff was amazing and super friendly especially the bartender, we will absolutely be coming back , 10 outta 10 recommend!“

“First time being there and everything was great. Between 3 of us we had brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, and ribs, all of it cooked right and delicious ... Karen was our server and she was so friendly and on top of everything we needed. We will definitely go back when in the area. If you're looking for great BBQ, don't hesitate to try this place.“

“I remember going here when I was a little girl. Fast forward...it's still perfect. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants. Dukey's still has it!! My haddock was amazing as was my sister's stuffed lobster. Waitress was a little doll..very attentive but not intrusive. Loved loved loved it. Little piece of heaven.. a hidden gem.“

“This place is a favorite. Great rotating beer selections on draft. Pizza is always amazing. Bartenders know us and our usual order as we are creatures of habit but you can't fake just knowing. If you know, you know. Overall, one of the best places in the valley to just chill. No TVs but internet so great place to just veg on your phone, iPad, or computer with some ear buds. Love this place!“

“The BEST place for live band! Service is great,even when the bar is swamped it pays to be patient lol they don't have food however I was satisfied with a pickle back whenever they had pickle juice or ask for extra olives in your martini!“

“Loved the stone bar and the atmosphere: good music, lights, decor, everything.Food was decent, wouldn’t say great, j only had the bonfire. Buffalo chicken was good but the cheese sauce wasn’t amazing. Im very picky about cheese though.However the service from Grace was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming.Will definitely visit again!“

“Great place to meet friends and meet new ones the staff is top notch and as friendly as your neighbor they have a bar type menu but everything is really good based on how much people get every day well worth stopping by and meeting people who will become your friend“

“Found this little gem when my husband was working in the area. I picked it based on the reviews and so glad I did. The place was hopping with customers and the bartenders did a fantastic job of keeping the drinks full.The owner helped us find a seat as soon as we walked in and the service from that point on was incredible! The young female bartender reminded me of myself in the “old days”. She had lots of energy to match the atmosphere and was speedy with your next beverage, served with a big smile.We each got wings and shared the garbage fries, which was all delicious!! Big crispy wings with crispy celery to match and they were not skimpy on the Bleu Cheese either.Hopefully our travels take us back this way because I’d love to visit again!!“

“Can't pass up a Irish Bar and glad I gave Maddy's a try. The Budweiser bottles were ice cold The bartender and people at bar were very friendly. And there's a awesome huge pool table. I had a great time there. Very nice fun friendly atmosphere“

Service was very attentive, prices were fair and it's really a neat restaurant. We love the atmosphere. We will definitely be going back soon.“

We had hot honey garlic ,butter garlic Parm ,And whiskey diskins..As a bartender myself we met. Donny was . The man . Personalble and we really enjoy rd ourselves. Def will be returning .Drinks were price nice also“

“Went for lunch on Father's day and didn't have to wait for a table at the bar, which was fine because my Dad and brother loved playing the games while waiting for our food. I ordered the turkey wrap and it was gigantic! I asked for everything on it and they sure did! The wrap was grilled to a pleasant crisp so it didn't get soggy. A large pile of hot fries and a pickle came with it. My Dad ordered a pizza as usual and it was perfectly done. Our bill was reasonable and our waitress was friendly and made sure we were happy. Glad we chose Checkerboard for my disabled Father's special day. Thank you :)“

“What an absolutely outstanding experience! The atmosphere is as cosy and inviting as a 1920s speakeasy, and the mustachioed mixologists sling craft cocktails, as well as a well-curated rotating set of draft beers, with abandon. Don’t let the charm distract you from the main event, however: the food! Everything we ate was a five star dish: the dumplings were soft and chewy with well-seasoned meat filling, the zakuska dip was an explosion of fresh flavors (and the zippy zaatar-coated homemade bread was the perfect complement), and we will be dreaming about the pizza, with its thin and chewy crust, umami-packed tomato sauce, and especially the sweet and deeply pungent garlic confit, for weeks! Best advice is to bring a group of family and friends so you can order one of everything from the menu.“

“Little Tex-Mex/American/Polish? Fusion Restaurant with an old American pub attached: Strange first impressions. I didn't know it was possible to put burgers, tacos, and pierogi's on the same menu, so good for them. However, the food was great, as we tried the wings and burger. They cooked my burger perfectly median rare - fantastic. The service was quick and pleasant. The atmosphere was decent, with cool antique decorations scattered on the wall. We will be returning soon.“

“Love this place!! Great food and amazing service!! We tried the Crab Gouda flat bread at the recommendation of Sam and Della and boy were they right!! We also had the Old bay Shrimp, bites and Dry Cajun Shore fries with Santa Fe Ranch!!! Yum to everything!!! We go for the food but even more for the staff. Sam, Della and Nick are truly the best and always make our night out Extra special!!“

“By far one of the best places I’ve been to in the area! The food was incredible, our server was extremely kind and friendly, the guests were welcoming and it was an overall great environment and experience. This was my first time here but absolutely will not be my last time! The fries and wings were some of the best I’ve had!Kid-friendliness: The staff were incredibly kind to the child we had along with us and the environment was accommodating to children! There is a small section in the menu for kid’s meals!“

“This place is absolutely incredible I never go out to bars but I love wings and a good friend of mine told me to try it and my God it did not disappoint I ordered Mild with medium to try because when it comes to spicey I am not able to handle much heat but the Mild was just the right amount the crispy crunch of the wing also soft and chewy I don't know how they do it but it is just perfect they are also the biggest wings I have ever seen and eaten I bought an order of the mild and an order of the garlic and they were both incredible. After enjoying that, I also looked on the menu and seen, they had minnie potato pancakes and that is also another one of my favorite things, so I ordered that and some seasoned fries just to try everything. And it was just absolutely incredible The people in there especially the bartender named Matt he was so quick and friendly and welcoming the atmosphere was just so warm. Everybody was so nice and welcoming and I just don't know what else to say. If you're looking for a nice little place to go and have some incredible food and have a few drinks and a good time. I would highly recommend trying out this place. You won't be sorry. I also seen a bunch of people ordering pizzas and they were absolutely loaded with food I myself haven't had the pizza yet but will be back for more incredible wings and pancakes and will definitely be trying the pizza“

“It's small-ish but has everything you need for a quick little fall day. The cider doughnuts are literally the best I've ever had. We got them hot and fresh right off the trays. Literally orgasmic! Yes, you read that right. Hayride was cheap. Corn maze was free. Also had animal feeding, pony rides, more treats, jugs of cider, fresh picked apples, local honey, etc.“

“I can only tell you about my experience at the bar because I've never sat at a table for dinner. Food is excellent. I had chicken Parm last night which was fantastic. The red sauce is delicious. Not too sweet like some places. Bartender is awesome. Very attentive. Good selection or top shelf bourbon and nice wines. On the downside, it's expensive, and during the week it's pretty dead. Most definitely go there for the food not the bar experience.“

“A friend and I stopped in tonight for the first time. We arrived soon after they opened at 4 and decided to sit at the outside bar. Our server was very accomodating, turning on the tvs and the outdoor heaters, even procuring me a ticket for the Ancient Order of Hibernians pasta dinner fundraiser being held there Saturday, April 17. I had the Lace Curtain Panini w/fries and an IPA, all excellent. The Lace Works was very clean and inviting. My friend and I agreed we would have to return soon!“

“PERFECT classic Buffalo wings. Just the right size. Skillfully cooked to balance crisp and moist. Sauce true to the roots - fresh butter and red hot (Franks?). Blue cheese chunky and on point. The atmosphere is very chill. If you like quality classic wings get here!“

“So was recommended by lisa at the pilot. Definitely grateful she did tell me to go here instead of miller ale house. Called, asked if they had Bears game trixie (hope i spelled it right) politely told me they have every game. I asked for nachos jokingly and of course they had. So i parked just my tractor across the street. Plenty of room. I and of course ordered nachos, ordered the small. Omg it was huge and delicious. Way too much lol The bar has lots of locals and everyone is beyond nice and very approachable. I had fun bantering there teams as they did with me. I felt very at home and as if I became part of the community. Of course i had beer , cold and refreshing. Ordered some chicken wings and wow. Cooked right, tasted delicious. Food is all fresh from what i ordered and good Bathroom was super clean I highly recommend and your probably going to have fun. Met the owner , what a guy. If you want a good time and good food this is the spot . I will be back when indrive thru again. Thanks everyone for making me feel beyond welcome“

“I've always loved this place. I would always go from Grotto where I worked and drank and ate some food here just because it was so much better. Much love, Allison ?❣️Parking: It's placed on a corner, so you have many places to just go and park ☺️“

“We were in Scranton for a softball tournament and a friend from back home recommended Joyce’s. We were so glad we tried it because the food was great and the owner were so very kind. They treated us like family even got pictures with us which I posted. We are planning a trip back just to see them!“

“The bartenders, are so very polite, courteous, and very welcoming, Carl, and Jeff, I grew up with both gentalman, they are like my brothers, Craig and Gina, are very friendly, very open minded, and willIng to listen when anything is on your mind, that you may need to get off your chest, the Rec Room, is like family, it's my comfort zone“

“Do NOT let the ambiance of this amazing restaurant deter you from stopping in. The experience, the food, the amazing staff, and the incredible drinks are unbelievable! What an amazing experience from the creative mind of culinary genius, Michael! Everyone here has their heart, soul and love in this phenomenal restaurant. NEVER judge a book by its cover. This place is top notch! If you get lucky during Valentines week they are having amazing Boar dish (DON’T miss it!)“

“THE DUKE! Don't you dare drive by without stopping for a Duke. My boyfriend and I are moving back to this area and it’s the number one thing we are looking forward to. Both of us were born and raised just outside of Philadelphia and I lived in SP for many years. We know a good cheesesteak. We both believe this to be a very hearty contender in the race for the best steak sandwich. I’ve considered making t-shirts that say, “we moved back here for THE DUKE”.Please give our new family free DUKES for life!?“

“Been coming here for over 20 years.. Generations change things, but this family tavern is still the place to be for the corner/old time bar and it's always a good time. Come here for a great night of music/small talk and get together with your friends.. I love this place!“
