“I have been living in Wilkes Barre from June 2023 been to other restaurants but this one is the top I questioned about peas and carrots in my shrimp fried rice and with out hesitation he said we can add it the other restaurants I’ve been to said they didn’t have so I was disappointed but china pearl is #1 in my eyes because they care about there customers and have great customers service .“

“Easily best pizza on the mountain. I grew up in North Jersey where good pizza is everywhere. I now live near Philly where good pizza is in North Jersey. We also have a place up here near Lake Harmony, and this is by far the best. 2 things I would improve, but will not knock my score, get a better location as most of the store fronts are abandoned. Secondly, the slices are way better than the whole pie you will take away. Employees here are friendly and have table service. Reminds me of most of the hole in the wall pizza joints I grew up on... and that's a good thing.“

“My family decided to visit Caribbean Deck Cafe while we were vacationing in the Poconos. From the moment we walked in, Shaine treated us like family! He allowed us to taste test a few dishes and we enjoyed talking to him about all kinds of things. As for the food itself, it felt like we were at Shaine's backyard barbeque! He kept piling it on and the portions were huge! We tried the curry goat (my favorite, though everything could arguably be considered a favorite!), the oxtail, stew chicken, and jerk chicken - each dish was full of flavor, hot/fresh, and oh so satisfying! The curry goat was seasoned to perfection, the oxtail was meaty and tasty, the stew chicken meat was fall-off-the-bone (see photo), and the spicy homemade jerk sauce was out of this world! Anytime we go to the Poconos, we plan on being back here for sure. The sides consisted of plantains and cabbage, and both paired very well with each meal. Rice options are rice and peas or white rice (rice was delicious). We dined in and appreciated the large plates and overall attentive experience. After our meal, Shaine hooked us up with sweet potato pudding and Hennessy cake on the house! And I must say: Both hit the spot! The sweet potato pudding was like a slice of sweet potato pie with pudding consistency - it was hot and sweet, and it was exactly what I needed after the amazing meal. Hennessy cake gave me rum cake vibes (note: I don't drink alcohol and am far from a connoisseur) and it was also great! We want to thank Shaine for really going above and beyond to take care of our family. The Poconos community is blessed to have him and Caribbean Deck Cafe! Every 5-Star Review is well-earned/well-deserved, and you will NOT regret visiting. Very highly recommended!!!“

“One of the few places in the Poconos to be able to meet and greet and relax with your friends for breakfast and lunch. They are famous for their German pancakes and wonderful staff. They always meet and greet and make you feel welcome when you enter the door.“

“Nice pit stop. The restaurant has a nice rustic feel to it. We tried the shrimp tacos and grilled chicken pesto sandwich. Loved the shrimp tacos. Very fresh and flavorful. The chicken pesto was not my favorite. Unfortunately, I did not care for the chicken sandwich. The seasoning was too salty and the foccia bread was stale. The server happily let me replace my meal for the shrimp tacos which were amazing. Great service!“

“Wow! Dinner was amazing! Ashley gave us amazing service. Food was excellent…we will definitely be back!“

“I live in New York but have parents that live in the Poconos and visit them regularly. For the longest I always went to other pizza places nearby. But as of recent a lot of them are under new ownership and the pizza has really taken a turn for the worst. This place calls themselves the best pizza in town so I decided to give it a shot based on the reviews and the self proclamation. I was pleasantly surprised because the pizza is definitely the best in Blakeslee/Poconos. I ordered a large pie with pepperoni and mushrooms and it tasted very good. Its not NY pizza. But I would have to agree it's the best around. Not only that but the entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I placed my order over the phone and even the gentleman who took my order was very courteous and they even sent me an update to my phone letting me know when my pizza and other food was ready.However I took a star off because this place is incredibly pricey for the area. It's actually more expensive than the pizza place by me in NY. I paid $11 for a chicken salad which although tasted good looked like it was made from bagged salad and the cucumbers inside were soggy and not fresh. As this is a pizza place I can't really complain too much about this as most people don't go to a pizzeria specifically looking for a salad.This will be my new pizza place moving forward for my visits and I will be coming back here again for the pizza.“

“Wonderful meal so far we have seats right by the windows. Excellent glass of Pinot Grigio and a delicious margarita. I am having the lobster raviolis that was a special not on the menu. Really cute setting. This is the clubhouse for a special members but we're staying at the bed-and-breakfast, which has club access definitely come here for dinner. It's fabulous.“
