24 Best American Restaurants in Wilkes Barre

“11/10! One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in recent years. Amazing service from right when we walked in the door, and the food is superb! Our waitress Samantha B. Was able to give us recommendations without hesitation and was extremely personable. Great ambiance, great staff, highly recommend.“

“My review is based on previous dining experience. Very disappointed since Open Table allowed us to Make a Reservation yet the restaurant was CLOSED. Very Disappointed with OPEN TABLE for allowing this to happen. You all SHOULD know their operating hours and NOT falsely advertise and allow people to make a reservation - only to go to the restaurant and find it is CLOSED on Wednesday's. Open Table - Correct This Please.“

“Food was great, and a great value. Service was friendly and prompt. What a gem in the middle of the neighborhood. I would breakfast here frequently if I lived in Wilkes-Barre“

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.“

“SO GOOD! It's a small cafe with seating inside, but I ordered take out. I got the meat stromboli, and it was full of flavor and I even had leftovers. 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.“

“This is our second time here — although the first time was just “the vault”. Our first experience was not good, but it was years ago. So we tried it again with our friends along as Guinea pigs. We were pleasantly surprised. Our server was kind. The pizzas from the oven were actually outstanding (we had three different kinds on the table, and all enjoyed quite a bit). I had a short rib grilled cheese. What I got was unexpected. There was a TON of meat and a little cheese. I may have used more cheese and less beef. The beef was good, though. It was well cooked and seasoned. We got some appetizers (calamari was a bit under seasoned but cooked well and the breading was appropriately crunchy). The Brussel sprouts app is very good and also recommended. We also had a chicken quesadilla (it was good. Nothing outstanding) and a truffle burger which my teenager said was “ok” whatever that means. We were warned that the pizzas come out when they come out (stone pizza oven). So they came out way before the entrees for the other guests. The kitchen food did take a while to come out. The wait staff was apologetic. So maybe it was atypical. No big deal. We were visiting with friends and the bourbon and blood cocktail was very tasty. We are pretty picky with our food, but I was happy that our second experience was much improved. Perhaps there's different management. We will likely be back — at the very least for the pizza, which is worth the trip by themselves.“

“Great atmosphere with even better service. The food is excellent for the bar style sports and collage crowd.“

“When my Jeep grenaded it’s serpentine belt I pulled into the owners lot where I was greeted by Don and Vicky, they looked at my car, insisted I come in to stay warm and even gave me a few pints to take the sting of breaking down away! It doesn’t hurt they like the Steelers either! I will be back soon for real with my wife to say hello“

“We loved our waiter Jared. He made great suggestions being our first time there. Everything was delicious. We will visit again!“

“I was at Millers in W-B on 4/27, which was also the night of a concert up the street. It was packed. The staff at the front door were SO NICE! We waited at least 30 min at the bar with no eye contact from either bartender. Then, a man who was I’m assuming a server jumped back and served us. We were so thankful and he was also, SO NICE!!!! We sat at the bar for one hour until our table was ready. I used to bartend, so I get it that you can be busy, but at least acknowledge the customers. I also observed arguing between staff and then apologies. I’m assuming, bc it was busy and the main bar tender was stressed, but take that behind the scenes. When we finally got to our table we had Zachary as our server who was PHENOMENAL!!!!! He knew we had a show to get to. He was attentive, friendly, funny and the BEST! I would probably go back, bc the French dip was delicious, but not on a busy night.“

“After spending a night at Trumps rally we needed a good breakfast. Being out of the area, the hotel recommended D's Diner. Great recommendation, food was great at a fair price and service was super. We all left satisfied. A true family owned restaurant when you see the owners working with staff to keep things flowing during peek time. I would highly recommend D's diner.“

“Went to eat on May 18 and the food and service were very good. The meat was perfectly cooked“

“We always have the royal treatment when we come in here. Our server Ashley was nothing short of amazing. We now ask to be seated in Ashley’s section whenever we visit. She really has a knack for making you feel like family everytime. I always enjoy the food and the company!!“

“Every detail that is put in by the entire staff and Bob Williams is why we love the Westmoreland Club!“

“This was an amazing experience. My husband and I actually doordashed. Food was fresh and hot, condiments were in the bag as well as plasticware. The food was like homecooked, which is what we were looking for. I called the manager and thanked her as well“

“Always a good meal when we go here. The gift shop is wonderful.“

“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.“

“I'm so glad that my friends invited me to join them on Friday night. Place was packed what they had enough Boston goes behind the bar to take orders.. I was told that they have very good buffalo wings so I ordered some. They have the best wings in town. My friend asked me to try a bite of her plate and I did and it was super good. I do recommend joining this place.“

“Great food! They always have prime rib! Lots of tv's! Friendly staff!“

“Hands down best food and alcoholic beverages I have ever had in a restaurant - 100% worth every penny. Atmosphere was beautiful as well.“

“A friend and I had a great dinner on April 30, 2024. She had wedding chicken and I had shrimp over risotto, both of which were delicious. Our server Tyler was attentive, efficient and engaging. My friend complemented the bartender for great martinis.“
