“This place will always hold a special place in my heart as it was where I proposed to my girlfriend. Every time since then we have had such a great experience. I believe it truly stems from the management. On every occasion, the manager has come out to check on our meals and just share some small talk. It always sets the tone for a very pleasant experience. The food is by far the best in the region. We had the steak and the roasted chicken during our last visit and it was truly delicious. The in house tiramisu and cocktails are also top notch. If you’re looking for an excellent dining experience with great staff this is your spot.“

I even got non-vegans to eat the buffalo and bbq wings and they liked them! Highly suggest this place, especially in an area where there aren't that many vegan options / restaurants.“

I ordered the fried pickles and 16 wings. The pickles we dry and crispy. ?. Literally the worst fried pickles I've had, but edible. JUMBO WINGS ARE NOT SO JUMBO AT LEAST THE BONELESS WINGS AREN'T. They came out warm and eventually became cold while eating.I just ordered another 6 piece. Traditional wings this time. I'll update to let yall know if they JUMBO or not. Smh. Ima throw a photo in just to show that I'm actually here. Food is mediocre and alcohol should be the only thing you come here for.Edit: After getting the traditional wings I'll bump my rating to 4 stars. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONRY GETTING BONELESS WINGS.“

From the stunning architecture and tasteful décor to the impeccable service, every aspect was nothing short of amazing. The culinary experience was a solid 10 out of 10. While my photos from a birthday party don't do justice to the club's beauty, I can't emphasize enough how highly I recommend this venue. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit to the Westmoreland Club.“

And she deserves the biggest raise ever. My partner got the chicken sandwich and it was amazing. The food is good here but the service was amazing just from this one waitress. Thank you so much for turning my first time here amber from a ehhhhh experience to a really good one because of you. Hope they give you at least a 10% raise.“

Wildflowers Restaurant American • $$
600 Wildflower Dr, Wilkes-Barre

“After a long drive we decided to not go out and just pop in downstairs shortly before closing. We were greeted by Mike who was bartending, busing, hosting, and being the waiter. He had a great personality, being super friendly and letting us know what his favorite dishes were. We ordered the French onion soup, have tray of old forge pizza, and a hangover burger. The French onion soup was honestly really delicious. It was so flavorful and not overly loaded with onions. It was a perfect soup. The old forge pizza was really good, I'm not the biggest fan personally of PA pizza but this one was pretty tasty. The burger looked and tasted amazing. It was cooked perfectly and was ginormous. Mike made the meal that much better with his great attitude even tho you can tell this dude was definitely exhausted after an insanely long work weekend. Thanks for not rushing us out and for being super friendly, we appreciate that. We will definitely be back in the near future since it's hard to find decent food in the area.“

“Thursday evening. Party of 4. Had prime rib, chicken francaise and quesadilla. All tasted very good, though thought quesadilla was small for a dinner portion (this was not from the appetizer section).Bar tables were filled but only a few tables in dining area. Only one server was working that night: she did a fantastic job covering everything herself. Didn't mind the service being a little slow as we were catching up with friends, and dislike feeling rushed, in general. We hadn't been to Patte's in years - just feel of the radar. We; won't wait so long to return.“

“We were here for breakfast. Noticed a seniors crowd. Ordered the breakfast potatoes rather than the shredded hash browns. They were basically small cubes of potatoes, deep fried. I missed the full-bodied taste of diner potatoes. I ordered eggs over easy, and I received eggs cooked more dry than expected. The sausages were cool, and I got the feeling that could have been brown and served. In contrast, my wife's order had kielbasa, which was definitely grilled“

“Came here to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. We all were staying in the hotel and gambling in the casino and wound up at this restaurant for the big birthday dinner celebration. We were a party of 6, so we made reservations in advance. The decor of the restaurant was great. Lots of cool images were all around us. We all started out ordering a bunch of different cocktails and mixed drinks. I went with the spicy margarita and I loved it. The tequila used was great and so smooth. After a while, we ordered our meals, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I had the spicy shrimp meal, which was awesome. Perfect amount of heat. A popular choice from everyone was the hanger steak. No one snapped a photo of it, though, lol. But everyone raved how good it was. My mom went with the salmon meal, and she loved it. Overall, we had a blast here and really enjoyed ourselves. The food and drinks are on point here. Highly recommended!“

“Guessing I have been to this location over a period of 40+ years. Reliable consistent comfort food. Sunday morning busy and bustling environment. I was politely and promptly greeted, served in short order, and you can see that the staff all get along and are respectful and friendly to each other and the customers. As I know that food service in such a place is not a high paying job, It only highlights the fact that they have a wonderful work culture. I heard a customer or waitstaff interacting with a level of familiarity indicating friendship. In a world where nothing is like it used to be, this place is as it was in all the best ways. Affordable, good and consistent comfort food, friendly staff and the fact that it was busy is a testament that customers recognize that it delivers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...... Great location, great work culture, happy customers. Roxanne B, was my waitress and was great!“
