17 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Pocono Lake

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Great pancakes. Great bacon. Terrible rubber eggs“

“Good food, friendly staff, cozy, hometown feel, decorated with vintage tin signs with clever sayings.“

“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!“

“Phenomenal! We stopped here for breakfast on our way home from a weekend in Mt Pocono. The staff was friendly and attentive, food was delicious, and the building itself has a very warm, comforting atmosphere. Will definitely come again if we’re in the area :)“

“I had the pleasure to dine in this Pizzeria and I was very pleased with the food and the atmosphere there, I will definitely be back again. AAAAAA +“

“The first impression of this restaurant was not so good from exterior look, however, when my family entered inside then we changed our thought because of great attitude from people inside. Server was so kind and food was so great, particularly the pizza we had was good(I don’t know the name but showed photos and he told me name but couldn’t understand honestly). Also, price there is great after we tired high prices from water park. I truly recommend this restaurant.“

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

“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.“

“Enjoyed my breakfast very fast and wonderful service definitely going back“

“Last time I was here The Brookside was under different ownership and that review probably would have been 2 stars. Since the new ownership has taken over they have changed some decor and brightened the place up a bit and have started doing some differently themed food days like a wing night and a southern soul food style Sundays event.The service here has been good the few times I’ve been in. I’m always greeted immediately and helped to a beverage and given a menu. I haven’t experienced any long waits to get another drink and everyone has been very friendly.This review specifically is on their wings. We were in on a wing night and got the garlic ranch wings and the Kings hot honey wings. This wing special night has a list of sauces that changes weekly. You’ll still have your staples every week but there are quite a few that rotate in and out so it doesn’t get stale. My gf loves the garlic ranch and I’m consistently trying new flavors. I also had the blackberry bbq which were very tasty, and the plain Buffalo (The OG baby) also has good flavor.These wings are nice and crispy without sacrificing the juiciness of the meat itself. They are not tiny little wings but they are also not these mammoth ones you see at some places where it’s impossible to get a proper cook on them and still have good texture.I’ll be back in soon to try out that Southern food menu, but the wings absolutely Didn’t Suck!“

“We have been patrons for over a decade. Their food is good, hot, and consistent. The sauce is a bit on the sweet side, but we like it that way. Order a Sicilian with peperoni, fried onions, meatballs and sausage....the 903 way. You won't be disappointed if you like a little sweeter sauce. Thanks for all the years of great food!“
