“First time here. All I can say is Wow!! The staff were unbelievably friendly and the food......well, the food was amazing!!!! Recommend highly. Definitely make reservations. Cannot wait to go back!!!“

“Great place for vegan comfort food. Any time I'm missing the taste and texture of a super cheesy quesedilla, this is where I go -- its close enough to the real thing to quench that craving. Hubby loves the Wild Wild West burger and we both LOVE the smashed potatoes.The smoothies/shakes are freaking delicious too.“

“My Son and l just ate for the first time at Yankee Taqueria the most delicious authentic flavor packed moist Mexican food ever. And I always say I really don’t like Mexican food I love what I eat tonight excellent excellent chefs very sweet food server I even walked out with a Pretty Pink Rose .“

“The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly like family“

“Very authentic Greek food delicious“

“One of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life. The meat and cheese they used, whatever they did, they do it extremely well. Our waitress was super nice and it’s a cute little place. What people call the “dated” places are so often some the best food places in the area. It’s a hidden treasure in Scranton.“

“The lemon orzo soup is always my favorite!“

“I don't want to dump on Scranton, (It is after all a depressed coal belt city) and I was only there for a few hours. In my limited experience with "The Electric City," this is far and away the best thing about it. Great service, great chili dogs, and if you're passing by on RT 81 or 476, a fairly easy detour to make if you're a Hot Dog aficionado, or maybe just Scranton Curious. Ask for directions to Schrute's Beet Farm B&B and the Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. tour. ;)“

“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!!“

“Its a very cozy spot. Their soups are the best and the service is always top notch. Me and my wife found this place a few months ago and have frequented there at least once every other week. I have never had a bad dish in here.“

“Prompt and attentive service with reasonable pricing. I liked my chicken pot pie soup, but there was sugar in the pie crust, that was really, really weird. The chicken strips with butter and garlic and garlic bread were fantastic! No room for dessert and a takeout container to bring home.“

“Cheers with breakfast food someone said. Um, yes 100%! While we just found you on Google while we waited for a car repair...it was truly a pleasure. Breakfast was plentiful, the omelet was great, pancakes were on point. ☕️ tasted perfect. Small, comfy, clean, and relaxing. The locals inside were kind to us and had a very positive banter back and forth with one another. Wish I lived closer!“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“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.“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“We ate at Keystone Restaurant and ordered the meatloaf from Mothers Kitchen. One of the best meals I’ve had here. The mashed potatoes and gravy was nice and creamy and the meatloaf was a big portion and had a great savory and sweet taste. The chef came out and even spoke with us, telling us other meals to try when we come back. I will definitely be back not only bc of the food bust bc of how nice he was to stop and talk with us.“

“A local sports establishment with tasty bar food and cold beverages at a fair price. Lots of televisions for all your sports watching needs. Jukebox playing some music when needed. Staff/bartender is very welcoming. Low key, friendly, and relaxed environment.“

“OK, I've been to Crotti's a few times now and they've never disappointed! They have an amazing bar chef that makes some of the best bar food you'll find in the area (I got a burger and the beef was so fresh and juicy), the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is prefect for the live performances they have! On the live performances note, they get, by far, some of the best groups around! I personally go there for their blues/funk performances and they're beyond incredible! I truly can't recommend Crotti's enough!“

“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!)“

“Came here on a blind wasn’t disappointed reminded of places back home in diners in Jersey will be back staff was friendly they payed attention to detail reassuring me they had my order an wouldn’t mess up an they didn’t“

“We had a nice night out when our friends invited us to the VSpot The staff was really friendly and made us feel right at home, which added to the atmosphere. The steak they served on steak night was absolutely delicious. The music lineup was great, the sound quality was top-notch, and the new stage setup was impressive, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and we also got to check out the release of a new song called "Violet" by a popular local artist named Ivy. Overall, it was an awesome night, and big props to everyone involved for making it so memorable!“
