Fantastic food worth the price. Service was awesome! Nice environment!

We stayed in a hotel right next to the pub so it was convenient to simply walk over. WE chose to have appetizers as we had a big lunch elsewhere. Each one was plentiful and good. See Photos

Chose this place to visit for my 50th birthday, because they advertised the best crab cakes in PA. I had been here years ago, and indeed, they were good. Just lump crab and butter. Not anymore! They are an ice cream scoop of crackers with unidentifiable bits of something that might be crab. $39 for 2! Uncooked broccoli and a thawed twice-baked potato make this my worst expensive meal ever.

The food was so good I didn't have time to take a pic of it... Being limited by not having staff... My party had a great time and the service was still top knotch...

Honestly it was extremely empty for a week night. The service was great and the food was great. The cook even came out to the table to make sure our plates were prepared to our exact order. The bill was higher than I expected but to be fair we did order and eat a lot of food that night with a few drinks sprinkled in.Would Definitely recommend this place for dinner and don't forget to try the Crab Cakes they were outstanding.......

This place could be nice because of the ambiance. However, the staff was unprofessional and horrible. The food was awful, shrimp came out grey, crab meat was disgusting. Filet was not cooked to what I requested and all was cold. Sat there for almost two hours waiting for food. Spouses burger was not cooked right. Just wanted to get the hell out of there. With businesses struggling right now, you would think they would step up their game. Especially since the inside looks decent. Never going back.

Expensive, flavorless, greasy!! The don't even have real salt and pepper shakers or season anything. OLD and tired staff and establishment. We could've had a better experience ANYWHERE else. McDonald's included.

Ok, I'll just cut to the chase. Seeing that I have not tasted every crab cake in PA, I cannot say that this is the BEST. But what I can say is, if this is the BEST, I hate to try any other PA Crab cakes.For me, I was not pleased with the texture or type of crabmeat used for the cost charged. As you can see for yourself, they use entirely to much binding mayo or egg, as the cake is mushy. No Jumbo Crab meat recognized unless it was broken during preparation. So a thumbs down for me. I recommend advertising you sell Crab Cakes, as unless you have some awards to back up this statement.

We went here with a party of 4 and a child on a Saturday night at 6. Waited a long time for the food to come out. We had 3 orders of the Land and sea, all three filets we're cool by the time they got to the table. Broccoli was slightly steamed, but still crunchy and cold. We tried to order a full rack if ribs, but they said they only had half racks, and when we said, we'll just put 2 half racks together on a plate, they said they would have to charge double then. The server was the only bright spot to the place, she joked with us and played along,,,,she's the reason it's not a 1 star rating. I've lived in the Lehigh Valley all my life and am 41 now. This was the first and last time I will ever eat here. Very disappointing. If you decide to go here, make sure you have 2 hours or more for the meal. They are sloooooow. Bring your microwave to warm your plate when you finally get it too. This visit was shortly after they were allowed to open back up after covid shutdowns, and while Red Robin next door was packed, this place had maybe a dozen patrons. Bad management here......very surprised they're still in business.
