“Will not being going back after my husband and I recent visit. After being seated and waiting more than 15 minutes to be waited on while a waitress walked by us twice ignoring us and two other couples came and were seated near us and were waited on right away, we walked out! No one said a word. Another turn off, there obsessed with vacuuming and sweeping the floor. Yes l like a clean restaurant but not vacuuming or sweeping done by our table while were trying to have a peaceful meal and dust blowing around in the air. Wont be going back.“

“We chose Morgan’s for our son’s rehearsal dinner. I worked with Patty for the planning over the past few months and everything was perfect and as promised. We were able to come in a bit early to decorate the tables to go with the wedding theme. Service was superb, everything at a good pace, did not feel rushed. We had a group of 26 and staff was absolutely amazing. At several times during the evening, our guests thanked us for the beautiful evening. I am so glad our son and future daughter-in-law had a night to remember. If I had to redo the evening, I would not change a thing.“

“Great food. Was not disappointed with the avgolemono soup. I got a cup. I could have eaten a bowl. Waitress was very nice as well!“

Overall, this is a great little hometown place! It won’t be another 20+ years until I’m back - the cherry vanilla ice cream is calling my name!“

“Goooooood, highly recommend!!!!!!“

“Grille 3501 has a varied menu and the menu items are generous and delicious!“

“Initially I was going to give 4 stars. But it was really a 5 star experience. First of all the service was fast and friendly. Second the place is super clean. I also appreciated the precautions they are taking at this time. There was a partition and you pass your money but placing into a tray and they give your change back through the tray. It also seems they take cards. Now I to the food. I had the 2 dog lunch special. I had both with chili, mustard and onions. While I got the standard valley dog shop toppings there are a lot of other toppings to choose from. I definitely want to try some other combinations. The dogs were quite good. However I felt the chili was a little lacking. Not a lot of flavor to me. But not worth taking off a star. I had my lunch special with a bag of chips and a can of soda. The bags of chips are really big for a lunch special. You can also get potato or macaroni salad. That's for my next visit. My dad had the sausage sandwich with peppers, onions and marinara sauce. He enjoyed it. It seems as though the sausage was stewed in the sauce with the peppers and onions. He said the sausage was very tender. He also had a bag of chips and an iced tea. All in all a really good experience and I will most definitely come again.“

“My wife and I visited for the 1st time day. Our server, Jenny, was super friendly and nice. The lobster trio is delicious and I was stuffed! My wife's crabcake was nicely sized. We will surely be there again!!“

“Ate there on Christmas morning. Everything was great! Fast service and all of the staff were very friendly and attentive. I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly!“

“The sandwich was delicious and well made. The owner & employees are very welcoming. Definitely going back when I go back to Allentown. You must try it, it’s worth it.Vegetarian options: I like that they have pescetarian options in their menu.“

“I've been coming to this gem for over 40 yrs now! Top notch food, top notch service! Friendly atmosphere. Came from Washington state today and this was my first stop!“

“Happy we decided to come out for dinner! Keith was awesome, and attentive. Prime rib egg rolls were tasty to start our night off. We then decided to split the Crab cakes. Broiled and seasoned perfectly. Risotto was wonderfully creamy. Veggies seasoned right. We will be back sooner than later!“

“Our favorite location, famous fries and garlic parm wings are my favorite. My wife can’t get enough of the peanut butter pie. Staff is friendly! Our favorite spot to watch a big game at the bar“

“Excellent Food. Great value for what you get.“

“The male cook making the pizzas was not only great at his job but very interactive with my kids who were watching the process of their food being made. First time eating here as I'm not from the local area but highly recommended place. Food tasted great as well!“

“Our waitress Hope G. was so kind. Not only was she respectful and caring, but also she messed up a slice of my lemon meringue pie and gave another for free. She later came up and told me and my family that we all needed to have a slice of dessert on the house. My sister then got a carrot cake. Beautiful way to end the day. Best chicken tenders I had in a while. Chicken was nicely fried and the french fries were the perfect size and nicely fried as well. Way better and cheaper than Dorney Park's chicken and fries. I saw a few reviews about workers and I just want to say they have upgraded. The manager was nice and so were the other waitresses. 10/10 I will be coming back soon. We gave Hope. G a $20 tip!“

“The chili isn’t my favorite but it’s not bad. Everything seems to be fresh and made to order. I work at the airport and like coming here after my shift!“

“Sports and Social happy hour started our date night out with a hit. Katelin was a delightful waitress, and very personable! I highly recommend the cheese steak egg roll.“

“The chili isn’t my favorite but it’s not bad. Everything seems to be fresh and made to order. I work at the airport and like coming here after my shift!“

“Got take-out tonight and loved it. got the crab legs with Mac n cheese, Ceasar salad and an order of the Thai chili wings. I asked for extra sauce and they gave me double (maybe even more) than any other place (which in my opinion is never enough). even with the crab legs not being hot (they lose heat very fast to begin with and it's 20 minutes from my house), they were still perfect. wings were generously breaded and Mac n cheese was awesome. Not my first time ordering, won't be the last!“

“fun easy atmosphere with karaoke and some good eats.“

“Awesome place for food, drinks & music.“

“Wonderful ambiance. Our server Natalie was so attentive and sweet. Our food was off the charts. And to top it all off the host Haley was so kind and caring and we had a wonderful conversation, give that girl a raise:)!! 10/10 would recommend“

“I like going to nice sit down restaurants and enjoying a fancy crafted cocktail and overpriced appetizers.... but every once and a while it's great to go to a cheap locals bar with basic mix drinks like a jack and coke and some mozzarella sticks! The social bartender and tacky decor really topped it off“

“Good food, great service !“

“The best bbq ribs great service“

“The food has gotten better since my last review 3 years ago, hats off to the cooks. Started going back this year, staff is great except still lacking in enough staffing diring busy times. Only thing upset about, I love there smoothies, when you order them to go, you get about half of what you get while dining in! won't be ordering drinks to go anymore!!!“

“My wife and I are here for lunch today as we were exploring the area as a potential area to move to. The atmosphere was very laid back, casual, and fun. Food was pretty good. I have the chicken Alfredo which was great and my wife got the rib eye which was so-so, not as good as you would expect a $32 steak to be, but still tasty nonetheless. Service was good as well.“

“Ordered while at work. Gyro was delicious, fresh, moist.“
