“fantastic food and service“

“Here’s one of those very rare dining experiences where the restaurant gets everything right from the moment you arrive. The service, which was very prompt, polite, and helpful with suggestions, atmosphere, food and drinks, portions, and finally the check, which was extremely fair for all you get.I only wish it wasn’t a six hour drive to get to Scranton from Portland, Me.“

My sister in law Margaret starting working there and we decided to try it! We were definitely not disappointed and we will be coming back! Honestly we didn't know it was there. So happy we do now! ❤️❤️“

“Delicious ice cream with fast service. We love to visit when we're in town. They also have later hours than a competitor we used to visit, which is very convenient for late snackers. 2 qts made it back to NY in our cooler. Definitely recommend!“

“We had a surprise dinner for my parents 50th. There were about 25 of us. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was relaxed. They also catered a party we had last summer and the experience was the same. Friendly and accommodating! I would highly recommend The High Bridge House!“

“Try the home made soups and chili! Excellent!“

“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.“

“Got my first burger today for lunch and I have to say hands-down one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Gentlemen on the phone was very nice to deal with as well as when I picked up my order. Definitely recommended and I will be back“

“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. ;)“

“We really enjoyed our dinner. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Excellent service!“

“We had our Christmas lunch today @Cintas from your restaurant. Everyone enjoyed it. I personally had the steak which was delicious. My coworkers loved their lunches also. Thank you Carmalt..“

“The service is wonderful! The food is delicious and there's something for everyone on the menu. The bar services is good. The table service is good. It gets busy and they don't take reservations so go early if you don't wanna wait too long it's worth the wait though.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“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.“

“Sandwiches so good we went two days in a row! The clerks at the counter were very helpful in making suggestions for us on our first visit. My daughter and I followed the recommendation and shared the steak & cheese hoagie and were not disappointed! My son-in-law had a tasty chicken parmesan hoagie. Went back the next day to try the sausage & peppers and roast beef hoagies, while my son-in-law did a repeat of the chicken parm. All were excellent and were a great value! Will have to be a go-to spot when I’m in town!“

“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.“

“This is a good feel, classic American diner sort of place that I wish I tried earlier, and also now wish was open at hours I could enjoy on my work days.Went here for breakfast, a vegetable omelet with cheese, home fries with gravy on the side, sausage links and white toast. Don't think much other description is needed. Just a top notch breakfast, everything done to near perfection. Home fries were personally not quite where I'd like them, but my desire for crispy home fries isn't an absolute right way to cook them, just a preference is all. They were very soft while not soggy, held their shape, and were certainly tasty. Just like them crispy myself.Incredibly friendly staff, the most classic of American breakfast food done great, fantastic experience here.“

“They are a legit creamery. We stopped in on a hot summer afternoon and were greeted by a friendly lady and the smell of cows in the back... their ice cream is so fresh and delicious. Great flavors. I have carrot cake and butter pecan. Chunks of carrot cake and creamy delight!!!“

“Just came from there got an Italian hoagie two days in a row hoagie meat fresh and ample a great hoagie for a great price great service place is roomy and clean lots of parking“

“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!)“

“Wow! what a hidden gem!the food and service were excellent, the bartender (Cameron) knew exactly what I wanted!could use a little more "atmosphere" in the dining room, and a sign outside would be helpful!definitely not the "other" place (next door) not a chain, they know what personal service and connection is!gonna eat there lots! I especially liked the Harris Reuben Flatbread and the Irish Onion Soup!I also heard that the Chef is a total dish, and he enjoys long walks on the beach with that special someone..... and Cake.“

“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!“

“This has become our Sunday breakfast place to go to. The staff is excellent, extremely friendly and they go out of their way to accommodate special requests.It’s wonderful to walk into a place that the employees are cooperative and they work as a team and not cut throat.Awesome family atmosphere and the food is always hot ( when it should be), tasty and served quickly.Definitely recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.“

“Always a fun night out at Tiffany's! You can't go wrong with any of the appetizers. I recommend the Wasabi Shrimp. Bourbon Street Chicken is one of my favorite dishes, but sometimes can't pass up on their creative nightly specials. Save room for dessert, or at least share one. Soooo good. Service is always great, and the staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming. They also have a separate room in the back for private gatherings and plenty of parking.“

“I was pleasantly surprised at the delicious meal I had at the BistroThere were 4 of us in our group and we all ordered something differentGenerous helpings and good pricesANGIE was very very nice and made us feel welcomeExcellent 5 star !!!!!“

“Located in a newer built strip mall in the highlands, it has plenty of parking so it is easy to get to. The deli seats plenty in their dining room and option for outdoor seating as well. Staff has been friendly consistently every time we have been here. We usually order takeout, all without any issues. Plenty of food options and weekly specials. Food tastes good and prices are standard. Would certainly recommend to others.“

“Consistently great food and service!“

“Always a great lunch and fabulous service!!“
