It was a nice place visually but the food was terrible. I personally would not go back there.

Just came from the Side Room. Had their Nachos Grande with Beef. Excellent. This was the old Nachos Grande that we have gotten for the last 10 years. Evidently, they had a new cook last time and he did know how they made their Nachos Grandes. Well, the owner is back cooking and the Nachos Grande are as good as ever. Lots of Beef (or Chicken ). Lots of sauce. Just Great I am happy to say. I'll be looking forward to going back again. In my opinion they have the best Nachos (Grande) in the area. Try it. You'll Love it!!!!

We have been going to Side Room for years. And we always get the Nachos Grandes. They have always been excellent. I have always raved to everyone about how they are the best in the Berwick/Bloomsburg Area. However, a couple months ago they started putting tomatoes on them and they never did before. That's alright I like tomatoes. But this last time was a whole new ballgame. I don't know maybe it was a new chef. I got about a bushel of tomatoes. I got very little ground beef. I got no cheese sauce, only a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top. I don't know what the difference but the meat sauce was different and not as good. All the sauce was soaked into the bottom layers of tortilla chips. I couldn't take a dry chip and scoop up anything, which is the way I always ate mine. I was very disappointed. If they are not better next time it will be my last time. Rating on a scale of 1 - 10 they have slipped from a 10 to a 5. Now in my opinion Bandit's is a 9, Denny's is a 7, Playa Cancun is a 6, Marley's is a 2, and Iron Fork is a 1-. I really hope Side Room goes back to the way they made them before because I will really miss them.

I recently visited this restaurant with a bar that left a positive impression on me. The first thing that caught my attention was the easy parking outside. This made it hassle-free to find a spot to park my car and enjoy a meal without any worries. The decor of the restaurant was also pleasant and well-maintained. The ambiance was cozy, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.The restaurant had plenty of seating, which I appreciated. I also noticed that they had the capacity to seat groups, which is always a plus. The bar area was basic, but had a good variety of drinks available, albeit with limited cocktails. However, the menu was composed of the tried and true hamburgers, pastas, and sandwiches, which made it easy to order food without too much fuss.While the location of the restaurant was more refined than the menu, I still found it to be a good place to go, have some drinks, and enjoy basic bar food. The service was attentive and the price was average, which made it a good value for the money. I would definitely return to this restaurant, perhaps more to munch on some snacks and have drinks.The only drawback I found was that the food needed a little more refinement in terms of its selection, presentation, and taste. The dishes were fairly typical of what you would find in a diner, and lacked a bit of creativity and culinary / technical refinement. Nonetheless, I recommend you give this restaurant a shot. The atmosphere was nice, the people were friendly, and the drinks were good. Overall, a solid choice for a casual night out to talk, have some drinks (although bar limited), and some uncomplicated food.

Our 2 seafood pasta orders, which was to include scallops, did not. Only shrimp and couldn’t really recognize any crab. When asked, we were told they didn’t have scallops. That was a major exclusion and should have been told upon ordering. Might want to ask ahead of time if you plan on ordering this dish. Both people, who generally eat all of this dish, couldn’t even finish half of it, due to the amount of garlic. The Chimichanga was loaded with chicken, but tasteless and everyone else thought so too. The only dish fully consumed and was very, very good was the steak! It was done perfectly. The place has a musty smell so they might want to check that out. We didn’t send the orders back because we couldn’t wait for new orders. We’re from out of town and just tossed it up as a loss.

We had a pleasant experience at Sideroom. I got the chicken chimichanga - was delicious. Our server was very nice. Great crew! Love the decor in the restaurant, especially love the fireplace. Will defintely return!

Delicious seafood enchilada, salsa conqueso, chips. Awesome chef, and great atmosphere.

Food is really good. Relaxing atmosphere. Several favorites from the old Terrapin menu. I don't think they are open until 4.
The food is just not great. The Mexican part of the menu is not authentic - the sauces for the enchiladas are not what you would expect and even the nachos are… off. Rather than layers of cheese and other toppings they are completely drenched in some kind of liquid bean sauce. Two stars because the servers do a good job and the restaurant itself is tidy and charming inside.

Food was delicious. Large menu. Reasonably priced. Large portions. Ready for pickup when we arrived.

Enjoyed a meal here tonight with my family and happy that it is open again! We have not been to the Terrapin since they were closed for a few years. The Strawberry Daquiri, burgers, chimichangas and fried ice cream were great! Our waitress was awesome too! Will go again soon!

The environment here is so lovely! We got to sit out on the patio and enjoy the weather. While inside there was a live band playing! The workers here are very personable and very kind. The food is delicious and not too expensive. One of my favorite local places to dine.

We got the Seafood pasta, seafood alfredo, a veggie pasta, crab cakes, and chili con queso appetizer. Each was delicious, and a very large portion, especially at the price(very reasonable)! The outdoor covered seating area was beautiful with all of the flowers (when a storm rolled in the owner and our waitress made sure we wanted to stay out there and offered a table inside if we wanted it). Great spot for a nicer meal without breaking the bank!
