Everything she makes is sooo incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious!We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Me and my daughter went for breakfast here on a Saturday morning. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel and it was delicious! (Not to mention huge!)

“Top notch place !!! Mike makes the place a warm and friendly atmosphere. I recommend the juicy mike nugget platter. Large selection of bourbon, vodka, gin, and tequila. I'll b back asap !”

“Was there for pool league and the staff is friendly and gracious! The food served is hot and delicious! The atmosphere is warm and cozy! Can't wait to go back soon!”
“One of the best rodizio restaurants I’ve ever been to! Food is excellent and service is top notch. The owner is a great guy, too! Highly recommend for an enjoyable night out!”
“We love this place. There are very few places that know how to make good hoummus. Savory Maza is authentic Lebanese food. We have been frequenting this establishment for many years. Always consistently prepared, friendly service and delicious. Our go ‘Tis are the chicken shawarma, hoummus, meat pies, grape leaves, lamb kabob, kafta pie, kibbee balls, savory pie. There’s no bad choice here! Everything is terrific!”

“Had an amazing experience at Anthony's! My family of 5 came in today on a roadtrip from Florida to Vermont and got a large variety of foods. I got breakfast, but the table also got burgers, pizza, and even wings! Speaking of which, the wings were possibly the best wings my family has ever had, and it's a shame we don't live in the area to have them more often. The pancakes had a homecooked taste to them and the chocolate chips were simply decadent. It's a family owned restaurant, so the food took a bit, but it was well worth the wait. Thank you for an amazing experience, we will definitely be repeat customers next time we are in town. :)”
“New main custard ice cream flavor every week! Love coming back for their pumpkin and peanut butter custards. The only thing I don’t like from here is the fruity pebbles flavor ?”
“Nice, friendly feeling place with good food. Limited beer selection if you don't like common cheap beers. Very friendly staff and the owner is a great guy. We will be back when in the area.”
“Food was amazing. I got the pulled pork Mac and cheese and it's easily the best I've ever had. My partner came with me and was also blown away by their food. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Get the regular cheesesteak...Exactly how they make it and I promise you ? percent you will Love It!!! And of course they have a variety of drinks, chips, and sweets to choose from as well while visiting the shop. Absolutely ? % friendly and courteous.”
“We ordered from here a few months ago, when we found them following the Lackawanna Pizza Trail. Pizza was really good, wondered if it was always like that. We ordered from there again last night, OMG... it was AMAZING. Easy one of our top 3 favorite places! Always have a Happy Staff. Great food. Try it you won't be disappointed.”

“Food is actually kosher which is surprisingly hard to find. Everyone who works there are good, happy, clean people. Restaurant is always clean and comfortable. They are very accommodating just only thing is they don't have any pork products but the substitutes are delicious and worth trying.”
“This is a hidden little treasure in NEPA. The food is absolutely amazing - everything from the avocado egg sandwiches to the grilled cheese to the coffee cake muffins! YUM & the coffee is delicious! The staff is so personable and easy going and the entire atmosphere of the shop is relaxing. We go in there and spend hours chatting and eating and drinking. SUPER CUTE SPOT highly recommend A++++++”
“I love this place but one guy in particular that works here is so mean and condescending. He was even being rude to his co worker for using the wrong cup. Makes you nervous to even order your food and drink because he is not helpful or nice at all. :(”
“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.”
“Absolutely delicious cake. Ordered for my son's birthday and they were super accommodating and the cake was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The bakery is super clean and all the employees I dealt with were super friendly and very professional.”
“I came with my wife and there was a party that night. Our food and service was phenomenal. You would think the amount of people that there at that time would have made the wait time long. The owner came out and was helping the bartender as well as cooking food. It was astounding. I definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area!”
“Food is so filling but doesn't make you feel awful! Service is always great just remember to use your rewards account! The vibe inside is modern hip feel with a relaxing feel!”
“Best place I've been to in Scranton!! The price is definitely worth it!!! They serve you A LOT! So just have that in mind. It'd be best if you have someone to share.The chilaquiles ARE spicy so beware. But man, they are good! The chicken and meat are absolutely perfect. Other places give you old meat where you can taste it has been sitting for a while. Not Yankee Taqueria. The eggs were fried to perfection.The muffin and bagel were toasted so beautifully. I'll try their technique when I get home.The Cecina in the platter was very juicy and tender. Rice was very fluffy.The burrito, I could barely finish half. IT IS STUFFED!! But as it is fat, it's delightful. Again, their meat tastes very good and fresh. I wish I had known of this place before. I'd definitely visit this place evert time I come to Scranton!The service and food is unbeatable. The owner and his family are very friendly and welcoming.You HAVE to try this place!!”
“Always treated like family,food is delicious, you always seem to know someone when you go there. Had the pumpkin ravioli, delicious seasonal make sure you try them when you ”
“Very good vegan food. Would recommend any of the wraps. The only thing I was a tad disappointed in was the fruit side option. I only got one measly tangerine. Was hoping for something a little more for the price of the meal, probably best to get chips as a side or something other than the fruit option. Otherwise, lovely place.”
“Food was great! Service was very attentive! We had appetizers, wings and plenty to drink! I could not stop eating the pretzel! Trivia was so fun! We will be weekly attendees!”

“I've never written a review on a restaurant, but I had to for this...I'm in town for 4 weeks for business. Eating at a new place each night started to become more of a chore than a treat. For context, I'm from Texas where flavor and spice are BIG. I'd been mostly disappointed in the local places (no hate). I took ONE BITE of this place's brussel sprouts and knew I was in for a treat. My business partner ordered the Philly Style burger of the week and I had a fried chicken sandwich. Both dishes were full of flavor and a surprising, and welcome, bit of heat by Texas standards. We ended our meal with a lemon lush which was the perfect amount of refreshing and sweet without smacking you in the face with sugar. My business partner very much enjoyed his cocktail and I loved that they had Mexican Coke in the bottle. And THAT'S just the food...The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and welcoming. I especially loved the touch of the waitress immediately bringing a growler of cold water and cups. Service was quick and welcoming, but without hovering.We made immediate plans to return later in the week. We spoke with our waitress and this is a family owned and run business. Can't wait to return!”
“This place was a nice surprise. We had great drinks ? enjoyed yummy appetizers (dumplings and edamame salad) and both hot hibachi meals and ? sushi/sashimi entrées. Super fresh and delicious. I would prefer less sauce on the hibachi meals as I'm sensitive to salt and sweet, and the sauce was somewhat overpowering. Nice evening with family.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessibility ♿️ ?”
“The food is good. Good service and the bread is very good and always fresh, especially good prices ?Parking: You have enough parking space. I ordered white rice, yucas and breasts Alfredo very ?”
“We were invited there by friends for karaoke .8-11 had a great time. Neighborhood tavern with a good crowd. People were friendly and enjoyed themselves. We didn’t eat but many people were enjoying the food.”
“1st off...its beautiful. It's a converted old train station...tons of marble and the ceiling!!!! 2nd, our server Marissa....AWESOME. 3rd...great drinks, perfect steak, delicious risotto and stellar creme Brule. We had our anniversary dinner there and there's nothing I could've improved on.”
“The meal was well prepared. We will definitely return. Superb quality. We also appreciated that our waitress suggested turning around our table so that we could sit next to each other, since we were having problems hearing each other.”
“This was our second time there and they never disappoint. We had the Caesar salad with anchovies (my favorite item there) red snapper special, fried calamari, sole and shrimp francese, and shrimp parmigiana. Highly recommend and will certainly go back whenever I'm visiting my son at college.”
“We recently hosted our October 2023 wedding at POSH, and there is no doubt in our mind that we chose the right venue.Josh (the owner, and on-site event coordinator) made the planning process seamless. His years of experience in hosting weddings and other large-scale events were evident as he guided us through the event logistics. Josh is very easy to work with, accommodating, reasonable, and organized.On the day of the event, Josh and his team were great to work with. They were attentive to every detail and handled everything that came up last-minute (there’s always something!).We got many compliments from our guests on the food, the beauty of the building, and the waitstaff. The appetizers were wonderful, the dinner was delicious, the space allowed for great pictures, and the waitstaff worked in teams like you find in fancy restaurants. It made us feel important and took pressure off of us and our bridal party on our wedding day.Thank you to Josh and the rest of the team at POSH, for making our wedding an unforgettable experience for us and our guests.”
“Sushi is really good, I’ve included a photo of their menu so people can see what they have. This place has really fresh sushi. It’s in a tiny place close to Gerritys , definitely worth the trip. Call and order ”
“We ONLY order from QQs. Why change when you’re getting the best. So nice on the phone. Quick with my order and remembers my name and my address just by voice. Love the swt & sr meals, gen thos chk and sesame chk. Sometimes I look up weird or unusual Chinese dishes online and ask if they can prepare it for me and they do. Overall a great restaurant”
“Trax is a great restaurant bar with an incredible ambiance. The cookie skillet is amazing. All the appetizers including the wings are great. And the burgers are made with high quality meat and buns making them excellent. The French fries are also cooked perfectly.”
“Best Chinese place in the area that offers a bunch of different items that other places dont, its the only place i go to since the first time i went, the bourbon chicken is amazing 6 out of 5 stars..............”
“First time here as we’re in the search for a new place. The food was really good. Wonton soup was excellent my only complaint is that the wontons were a lil mushy from sitting in the broth to long but otherwise is was flavorful and the wontons tasted good.Also ordered a Shrimp Tempura which was good and very generous for the price.Dumplings and egg rolls were very good and both the pepper steak and pork with snow peas were very generous on the meats.House fried rice was also very good!We will be back”
“While the prices keep rising the portions seem to be getting smaller. I wish they would actually wait on you when you walk in instead of ignoring you for 5 minutes. Saying this the food is good which is why I still come.”
“We really enjoyed our experience. The food was hot and tasty. We had a fantastic waitress. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The outside tree was also very pretty.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pronto! I started with a chocolate martini which was delicious! I got the chicken Pronto, my husband got chicken Dijon, my friend got veal marsala, and the fourth person got fish. All four of us enjoyed our meals very much! That doesn't happen very often! The food came out in just the right amount of time and they were quick to refill what we needed and cleared our dishes promptly. We will definitely be back!”
“We love it here! It’s probably our favorite place for pizza. Their sauce is amazing. Their bread is phenomenal. The vegetable calzone is fabulous and so is the eggplant fungatelli with cavatelli amazing.”

“Julian was very pleasant to not just myself but the other customers that came in as well.I eat here often and service is always great and I think food is prepared well just moved here from nj and this franchise well succeeds them by far!”

“The guy in the front training a new employee was super nice and remade my coffee that the little girl in the front messed up. She also has a major attitude problem. This is the 2nd time I've come in and she was rude about a mistake she made. Other than that, I rarely ever have issues here and if I do they immediately fix it. Idk how long she's worked here but she's unpleasant.”

“Wow our first and surely NOT our last visit. From the time we walked in, we were greeted by Cathy our server who was very pleasant and asked if this was our first time visiting...so we advised yes. From start to finish the food and service was as if we were back in New York or even better back in Italy. Even Angelo the owner came out of the kitchen to introduce himself to us and sat and had a very nice conversation with us - ironically a small world coming from New York and Stroudsburg area as well as us. We started with the fried calamari and it was excellent. Dinner came with a choice of soup or salad...we choose the soups--both homemade and made to perfection. We ordered the chicken/eggplant combo with broccoli and the homemade ricotta gnocchi-both again were as if we were eating back in New York or in Italy. If you want a great, cozy, family restaurant then this hiding GEM a is definitely the place you would want to visit. We really can't thank Angelo and Kathy enough.....we will be back real soon for sure.”
“Best Mediterranean food! They make their own pita from scratch every single morning to pair with everything from their cool labneh, to smooth hummus, and flavorful baba ghanoush. Chicken schwarma is excellent. Outstanding service, great environment. Love it!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Cool little place. Unfortunately they only have one sugar free flavour so I didn’t have a lot to choose from. But the one flavour that they do offer is very delicious. They aren’t too expensive either”
“Me and my daughter went for breakfast here on a Saturday morning. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel and it was delicious! (Not to mention huge!) Everyone working there was super nice and you could tell they really loved their customers. They knew almost everyone by name. Will definitely be going back soon!”
“I LOOOOVVVEEE this sushi. Sir takes his time and makes the rolls with love! They’re so fresh every time and so tasty. Ma’am is so sweet and makes you feel welcome. Best sushi in the area honestly.Parking: Parking is free with validation of ticketWheelchair accessibility: There’s an elevator in the mall and there’s a lot of open space on the way to and surrounding the restaurant. Tables are at an appropriate height as well for wheelchair users!”
“The ice cream tastes so authentic.. Did not expect to have the ice cream taste that good. Place is amazing and they sell there own milk. I purchased chocolate milk and ice cream. They gave my puppy a pup cup and he loved it also. Will return and consider stopping to pick up the ice cream containers for family...”
“We had a beautiful 25th anniversary dinner party here. Everything was 100% perfect. Delicious food, fast service, beautiful restaurant, reasonably priced. Thank you!”
“I love these small old-timey bake shops that take pride in their products! I am a big fan of their Linzer cookies and Laffayettes. It was well worth the trip finding this hidden gem in Pittston!”
“We had a fantastic first visit at Chifa Peru and would highly recommend it! We'll definitely be going back to try more of their menu.The service was great - we were greeted and seated immediately upon entering, and our waitress was kind and attentive.All the food we tried was delicious, obviously great quality and also generous quantity for the prices. To drink, we had the Kola Inglesa (a tasty red soda) and the chicha morada, a purple corn drink that was sweet and had a nice cinnamon flavor.For our meals, we tried the half chicken and Kam Lu Wantan. The Kam Lu Wantan was a BIG serving with large pieces of meat, vegetables (snow peas, green peppers, and onion), pineapple, delicious fried wontons, and a red sauce that was similar to sweet and sour, but with more flavor.While that was great, the chicken was the real standout - incredibly flavorful skin and meat, juicy and tender. The breast was drier than the dark meat but certainly not dry. The green sauce is the perfect compliment - herby, creamy, and a bit of spice. The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked, and the salad with light creamy dressing cut through all the richness. And at such a generous serving, it really is a steal.For dessert, we tried the cherimoya ice cream and flan and both were excellent - some of the best flan I've had! And the cherimoya ice cream definitely has to be tried - it's a familiar but completely new taste at the same time, custardy and fruity.PLUS, when we got our check we also found out that, because we spent over $50 dining in, we got a free chicken to take home! It was carefully packaged, along with a tub of the green sauce - such a lovely surprise and generous giveaway. (I believe you can also get free 1/4 or 1/2 chickens for meeting lower spending thresholds.)This is the kind of local restaurant we love to visit - unique and delicious food and great service. Definitely check it out!Parking: They have a good sized private parking area behind the restaurant.”
“We were at the train museum today and found this gem in scranton, this place was amazing. The guacamole and spice salasa was the bomb. Next time we are going to travel through Scranton, this is a must stop place for us.”
“I love this place so much that I started working here.Vegetarian options: Roasted feta with honey, falafel, salad and pasta with marinara, moussaka (eggplant in bechemel”
“So so sinfully delish. Great selection of homemade flavors. A local delight. Great customer service at the counter and very fair prices.A definite stop for ice cream lovers. Easy on and off from Rt 81.”
“One of the best rodizio restaurants I’ve ever been to! Food is excellent and service is top notch. The owner is a great guy, too! Highly recommend for an enjoyable night out!”
“I came here for breakfast with my dad before work. They open a little later (8am) for our start time but today it was okay for us, time wise. We got eggs, homefries, bacon, sausage and Italian toast. Everything was prepared, perfect in my dad's and my opinion and we can be a little picky lol!!! Coffee is amazing as well. The homefries are different and so flavorful, which is different then every other restaurant. Highly recommend. For a little while we were the only people in there so my dad was weary but everything was great!!!”
“I used to go to Coney Island frequently until I moved out of state. I brought my family there to eat a while back, and we were not disappointed. The Texas wieners were as good as ever! Their sauce is the greatest thing ever cooked on a stove. I have lived in Texas for the past 25 years, and I haven't found a restaurant that even comes close to Coney Island wieners. They are a Scranton institution that you must visit! Go! Right now!!”
“Great little pizza shop!!Pizza is great, hoagies are huge & very good, check out the ice tea, not sure what they use, but it's excellent!!Staff is always friendly & accommodating on my requests on the hoagies, hoagie rolls are nice & soft, filled up with plenty of meats. The pizza is tasty, i prefer the round over the square, just my preference.Definitely a must try when your on the North Side / Keyser Valley side of Scranton. I don't get toppings on my pizza, ever, just my preference, the steak & cheese & Italian hoagies are my favorite.”
“YES. Agreed ..GET ON GRUB HUB! Please ASAP ? ? So it can be delivered ?.. Or kindly hire a reliable delivery driver. I LOVE THEIR CHICKEN & BROCCOLI IN GARLIC OIL- THE LASAGNA IS THE BEST, Chicken cachattori & Garlic knots are fabulous.”
“Noir Dark Spirits was absolutely incredible! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was beyond delicious, the presentation of said food was very unique and gothic themed, and the prices where more than reasonable, even inexpensive for the quality and quantity at times! The drinks were nothing short of delicious and well mixed to the point of barely tasting the alcohol, but oh, there's alcohol alright! All in all, it was a wonderful experience to the point that my spouse and I are planning a party there in the future! If you like gothic aesthetics, great drinks and great food, you MUST give Noir Dark Spirits a try!”

“Been coming here for 2 years now and Ms Carmen and her team never disappoints me on the food and experience overall, I always recommend family and friends to this place just because of how much I love it there!!Parking: Obviously being in the middle of southside the parking is limited but so worth it.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is one of the very best places to eat !!! The food is always fresh, tastes great and just doesn't seem like a fast food restaurant. I love their business philosophy of not working Sunday's too ! God Bless, Brooks”
“Wow! I’ve been here a few times before and it’s never been anything special but I’ve recently been back during the weekend and have been absolutely blown away by kashala (sorry if I misspelled it)! Amazing customer service, so fast and such a kind soul absolutely will be a regular just for the service”
“On Tap is amazeballs....Every time Dickson City Main Ave is amazing always! Clarks summit location is hit or miss, and scr carb hwy is the saddest of all my local Dunkin runs!”
“Stopped in a few times this past week for a box of Joe each time. The place was busy and the staff seemed on edge but they were handling the rush very well. No issues with the coffee.”
“What can I say about Burger King? You have seen the commercials. You’ve smelled the deliciousness. You not only know what you can have, but you can adjust as necessary. The fries are good. The Whopper is consistent. That BK Bacon King (?) is a bunch, if you’re hungry. This is not for the faint of calories. Whoof. But it was good. The service here is attentive and friendly. Boom.Parking: No problem.”
“I went in the morning and they were SWARMED! Yet the wait wasn’t too bad but the customer service was TOP NOTCH! They were super busy yet kept a friendly attitude! 10/10 employees!”
“Only place that I know of where you can find A&W on tap. The fried foods seem to be made to order so although there's a wait, it's always fresh and piping hot when you get it. The fish is pretty good, although what I really like from here is the cheese curds and the A&W burgers. A&W food is insanely underrated and the Papa Burger should be tried by more people. The staff are usually friendly, though sometimes you'll get one that sounds like they wanna die inside but that's not uncommon in the fast food industry. Overall, great spot to eat. Prices are relatively fair.”
“We each got the game burgers, hamburger special with 30% game meats. Good burger. Fast service as you would expect at a fast-food joint. Friendly staff. Restaurant was empty when we came for lunch but I struggled to find a clean table.”
“01/25/2024 I went there for a Large Mocha Hot Coffee with two Extra Espresso Shots which was made by her to perfection! The young lady who took my order was awesome, very friendly, courteous and on-point! Unfortunately, I was in a rush and I did not obtain her name but the following is the information on the Transaction Receipt KS#2, CBB, 01/25/2024 03:16 PM Order 25. Kudos to this team member.Parking: Ample parking.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly location.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.”
“On November 18 2023 was dining in and the manager working was excellent. She was the only one doing the front, taking orders, packing up the orders all while doing the drive through also. She kept her cool and was very professional. Keyser Ave in Scranton.”
“They are downtown Scranton doing their best. There are timely issues with locking their doors due to homeless and questionable patrons. Drive thru is best option.”
“Personally, when I travel to the U.S., the most satisfying restaurant is Taco Bell. First of all, the service is very good and the food quality is also good. Speaking of anecdotes, I really recommend this store. The store's employees and owner really know how to welcome customers and are ready to provide good service. While my family was returning to Canada, the restaurant we originally wanted to go to was closed, so we decided to go here, but unfortunately, it was during break time. As I was about to go back, I saw the boss with the children, asked the staff to please just take care of the family, and left after talking to the staff. The staff did their best to take orders and prepare the food. Taco Bell's food was really good, and it was the best restaurant I've ever been to, including Seoul, Brazil, and Georgia. I really recommend this restaurant. I wish great luck to the staff and boss who worked hard to welcome our family.”
“For the most part, my experience with this DD is awesome. Except for my visit when the older woman staff with long dark hair handed me a stone cold cup of coffee when I asked her for a XL hot. There should be no reason why someone hands someone cold coffee. I had another staff remake it. It's insulting when you work hard, and just want a nice cup of coffee but a staff member doesn't care enough to make sure that the coffee was actually hot.”
“Update: new management much much better service & food!!Worst Wendy's in the area! Cars always going out into the intersection for drive through. They don't let you pick up inside for deliveries. They are a very unprofessional staff! Miserable, slow, downright rude!”
“The manager at this store is amazing !I hope they show him alot of appreciation The poor guy works the window and the counter all by himself.I'm not from the area and stop once every 6 weeks and the past 3 visits he has been alone. One thing I will definitely say he does a better job than other locations that are fully staffed.BURGER KING GET THAT MAN SOME HELP!!!”
“The food was great. If anyone is interested in either trying out an authentic Nepalese food for the first time or get that homemade Nepalese food taste, then please drop by to have your palates excited. You will definitely not regret at all if you are a foodie like me .”
“This is a nice place to hang out after bowling. The drinks are good and the staff is friendly. A little small but it's a good time. Late at night is the best time to go. The food is also not bad.”

“This place is awesome! Very classic diner-esque corner spot with a breakfast bar. It’s a modest place with super friendly and personable staff. The prices are low and the food is great! My fiancée and I come for breakfast or order delivery multiple times a week. Their coffee is AMAZING and honestly never had a bad experience. Ally, Rob, and Chris are some of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! Will continue to enjoy our breakfast from this spot for many times to come.”
Cheap Eats
“This was my first time back since new management turned a good bar into a GREAT BAR - the 1905 Tavern!!! Only had “Hot Caesar” wings which were great and a couple Outlaw beers!?? Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu because they all look delicious! Bartenders & other patrons were all friendly! Reasonable prices! Overall, a great, fun night!”
“Great neighborhood bar, good beer selection and tasty bar fare. Excellent service and that old "beer garden" feel. Not the easiest to find unless you know it, but it's right on the corner of Webster Ave and River Street in South side. Give it a try and I'm sure you'll go back!”
“The Salted Caramel Pretzel shot is delicious ❤️Can never go wrong with a standard Old Fashioned or a Rum and Coke, too ❤️Drinks are affordable and the music is on ”
“Absolutely delicious cheese danish - so terrific I ate them all before I could take a picture because they were so so good. They’re cheap too! Everything is 1$ so who can complain?? Will be my go to shop for pastries while at the Southside Farmers Market!”
“This is a place I never knew existed to my knowledge. Secret I delivered pizz to an apartment across the street I did not know what it was. The service top notch, the breakfast I hat was excellent and well made and the atmosphere is a Diner but well maintained and attractive. Look it up on Google maps or how ever you do that, but go there once and I know you'll be back. Oh some times a bit of a wait but generally quick seating and they have a parking lot .Parking: L shape parking around the Diner and in the street!Kid-friendliness: Well I saw kids there. Lol”
“Plenty of parking across the street. Limited menu, but the price is right. Highly recommend their wing bites. The stage is large. The staff is friendly. I definitely want to revisit soon.”
“My breakfast was delicious, I love oatmeal and no one has it anymore, I was thrilled they did. Plus the pancakes were huge, size of my plate and fluffy. The waitress was a doll, and very good. Husband loved his meal as well. We will be back.”
“Had a great dinner here after a basketball game at holy rosary. Those who got burgers enjoyed them and the house fries were delicious. Tater tots were very different from store bought and not a hit with kids (looked more like hush puppies). I sincerely appreciated that they had GF items labeled on the menu. The rice bun was very cool- felt like eating a sushi burger! Server was great! If I could give 4.5 I would!Dietary restrictions: Very GF friendly”
“What an amazing find! The best pastries I've found here in Pennsylvania since I moved out of New York City. Turnover and macaroons are phenomenal! Try everything.”
“Very good Italian food. Have tried many places in the Scranton area and will always come back to Sacco’s. Highly recommend their vodka pizza (and vodka sauce in general). Generous portions for the price. Their calzone sauce was too acidic for my taste, which kinds of make me not want to try dishes with just straight up plain red sauce but that’s my preference and why I knocked off a star.”
“Stopped in here on our way down home to Florida after reading the reviews. They were not wrong! This place is great. Delicious food and Del was a pleasure. Highly recommend the cheesesteak.”
“Our go to for fresh rolls & great baked goods. Great selection of pastries & breads. The Irish soda bread is incredible. But the rolls are by far the best in the area.”
“Unique, hip, coffee shop, with a homey feel to it (its inside of a remodelled into a coffee shop residential house), Zummo’s Cafe, offers great coffee and better, non- sweet matcha green tea, than Starbuck.”
“This was our first time here. The food was delicious. The bread was fresh as were the tomatoes and lettuce. The meats were so tasty. The pasta salad and potato salad were really good. Don’t get me started on the cookie… I could have eaten a dozen. We will definitely come back.”
“The apples were absolutely delicious! It's a small place but it's free and not overrun by crowds. I wish parking was marked. We also for the cider which made us oddly thirty and we bought apple coder doughnuts which we found oily. The people who work there are very nice, and it's just a relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed it.”
“As a young woman it can be overwhelming going out by yourself and on Thursday night a man attempted to harass me. The entire staff and other customers supported me through that interaction and he was asked to leave. We all deserve to feel safe when we leave home and Ale Mary's has demonstrated how important it is to do the right thing. I am so proud to support a business that cares about our community and our safety!”

“I first noticed this spot last wk and so wanted to try it, it all looked good but today I really wanted to try the half chicken. Omg delicious the box must have weighed five lb delicious beyond huge the breast may have been bigger than my own.i also loved the rice . But what really stuck put was how they so went above and beyond to make it happen .they just opened my son wanted to surprise me but could not find it on any delivery app.sge worked with my son they chose an app she told him what to order wing dish I think took my name and told him she wpuld male sure I got half chicken and not wings.The food was delicious but for a restaurant just ope in for the day to take numerous calls and help my son make my order possible was so beyond amazing,I truly can't thank them enough ? I can not weight to try other items on there menu”
“A cool unique spot, It is a small brewery that is in a very large restaurant. It’s primarily a seafood restaurant with a nice menu and an extensive beer list, along with a full service bar. There were approximately 10 house brews along with 10-12 visitor taps, along with the biggest bottle list I have even seen. The 2 beers that I had were good. I also ordered an alligator soup which was very good. The other people I was with split the caramel sweet fries, a bit to sweet for me, and the jalapeño poppers, which were very good. If I ever get back to the Scranton area, this will be a must stop for me!”
“This place is absolutely ? yummie. We had the carnita street tacos, chicken burrito, and order of bean chalupas. My mom had the Carne asada plate she said rice and beans delish, Carne ok. We will definitely go back when visiting Sister again! My sister will definitely be enjoying it more often now that she has had it.”

“Really descent place to go and get a bite to eat . Ask for Pam beautiful as she can be and makes it worth for use to keep going back for more. Highly recommended for anyone including families.Can call and order for pick up worth doing when wanting to stay home or in a rush.”
“First time at this diner yesterday. The service was friendly. The food was great. The caffeine fries are to die for! I had the Glider sandwich. Meat was tender and juicy served on a kaiser roll. Definitely stop and have a meal at the Glider!”
“This is the second time my friend and I who is vegan, has been to this restaurant. This is got to be one of the hidden gems of Scranton. The restaurant food is made. Do have to wait-a-bit, but when I tell you it's worth every second you wait, I'm not lying. The food is exquisite top quality food. None of this fast food stuff that's already made up in the back. Everything is made to order and to your specification. The chef there is absolutely wonderful. He comes out and talks to you and explains what you're eating in what you've ordered. The garlic bread is to die for. In the salad, oh my word, it's not iceberg lettuce and cheap lettuce. It's all the high-end greens and micro greens. So wonderful with any kind of dressing you want on the side. I had Chicken franchase. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to put a picture on but don't judge the picture. Because I had started to eat it before. I took the picture LOL. I just couldn't wait to dive in and then I remembered. I was going to take a picture. It was fabulous wonderfully presented.You can tell this gentleman cooks with love. Being Italian, that means a lot. He even altered the menu for me to put vegetables instead of too much spaghetti as I am a diabetic and I have to really Be careful what I'm eating if you want to go someplace. Where you will not be disappointed, go to Roberto's if it was possible to give a 10 star rating I would.Vegetarian options: My friend is a vegan and she had the vegan pizzashe said it was the best she had ever had in her life. And she is 83.”
“Don't mind the wait the pizza is great, but when you are told a time to pick up and go there and still wait an additional 50 minutes to get your order it makes you think twice about ordering again.”
“Today was my 1st time ordering lunch from this establishment. I ordered on line with ease and went to pick up my order. The restaurant was clean and very colorful. I was greeted by a server with a smile on her face asking if I needed assistance. I ordered the guacamole and chips and the Tacos De Birria. The portions are very large so plan on having left overs. The guacamole and chips were excellent. The Tacos De Birria were the best tacos I have ever eaten. Co-workers frequent this place and they recommended it highly. I also checked reviews on line and many recommended this taco. They weren't wrong. It was absolutely delicious. Quite unusual with the dipping broth, but so tasty. The meat was very tender. I highly recommend this restaurant to others if you have not been there. I plan to frequent this place whenever possible. Hidden gem in Scranton.”
“A great spot tucked away out if site. Would recommend to anyone that's looking for relaxed outside atmosphere, good food, and some drinks/entertainment. I wish they had Cornhole or horseshoes. It would send this little gem over the top. I believe they will. It just makes too much sense. If you're looking for a new place to try. Make it Backstreet. I've read some bad reviews on service. I've received nothing but perfect service anytime I go. So I can't say anything outside of it being great.”
“Our go to for fresh rolls & great baked goods. Great selection of pastries & breads. The Irish soda bread is incredible. But the rolls are by far the best in the area.”
“Had pizza delivered hot and delicious. Fresh tomato sauce. Absolutely love the crust. Awesome the next day it's not hard to bite. Some other pizza places, their pizza is terrible the next day. Theirs is awesome.”
“The restaurant was somewhat empty at lunch, which turned out to be a plus for us as we were a group of about 10 people, including 2 young children. The food here was fairly priced with tacos averaging $2.50 each. Unfortunately they did not have lengua (tongue) available, but they did have tripa (stomach) as well as birria, which we ordered. Took off a star because the birria itself tasted good, but the consume was quite mediocre. It missed the rich fatty depth of flavor which birria is known for. Other than that, the others in our group expressed satisfaction with their meals.”
“Best place I've been to in Scranton!! The price is definitely worth it!!! They serve you A LOT! So just have that in mind. It'd be best if you have someone to share.The chilaquiles ARE spicy so beware. But man, they are good! The chicken and meat are absolutely perfect. Other places give you old meat where you can taste it has been sitting for a while. Not Yankee Taqueria. The eggs were fried to perfection.The muffin and bagel were toasted so beautifully. I'll try their technique when I get home.The Cecina in the platter was very juicy and tender. Rice was very fluffy.The burrito, I could barely finish half. IT IS STUFFED!! But as it is fat, it's delightful. Again, their meat tastes very good and fresh. I wish I had known of this place before. I'd definitely visit this place evert time I come to Scranton!The service and food is unbeatable. The owner and his family are very friendly and welcoming.You HAVE to try this place!!”
“Good food, small menu, a might bit pricey, but the portions will not disappoint. I had the salmon, New England Clam chowder that was much better than Campbell's...”
“The atmosphere is like something out of a Pinterest page! The Experience is something you will never forget. Located in Nay Aug Park in Scranton, PA with parking!

Parking is so easy!Kid-friendliness: Kids will enjoy the decorations, hot chocolate and some candy!”

“Coopers is a great place if you stick to the basics. Their Manhattan Clam Chowder is fantastic. Their fish and chips is a hearty portion that is a main stay during Lent. The dining atmosphere is like enjoying a museum; the historic photos, the memorabilia make this a main stop if you’re visiting NEPA. The coconut shrimp is always a favorite. And the best part is, when the weather cooperates, being able to dine al fresco, a rarity for Scranton.Their sides are great, service is fast and courteous. Always a nice treat, whether delivery when the weather stinks or to dine on the patio when the sun is shining.Coopers is an icon. Enjoy it and treasure it.Parking: Never a problem except for the big holidays and local events”

“Cool little place. Unfortunately they only have one sugar free flavour so I didn’t have a lot to choose from. But the one flavour that they do offer is very delicious. They aren’t too expensive either”
“The manager at this store is amazing !I hope they show him alot of appreciation The poor guy works the window and the counter all by himself.I'm not from the area and stop once every 6 weeks and the past 3 visits he has been alone. One thing I will definitely say he does a better job than other locations that are fully staffed.BURGER KING GET THAT MAN SOME HELP!!!”
“There is a good amount of choices and the food was good just a lil packed sometimes ? but goodParking: There's a fair amount of parking with no charge yet some people park close”
“The meal was well prepared. We will definitely return. Superb quality. We also appreciated that our waitress suggested turning around our table so that we could sit next to each other, since we were having problems hearing each other.”
“New main custard ice cream flavor every week! Love coming back for their pumpkin and peanut butter custards. The only thing I don’t like from here is the fruity pebbles flavor ?”
“Nice middle of week restaurant. I go because I love their Cajun salmon. But many people remark how delicious their pizza is. Also, can sit in proper outdoor cafe, which is so nice in summer. And they have space warmers as well. This is one of the few restaurants that have a private outdoor cafe. It's lovely.They also have parking just feet from restaurant. That can make a difference when choosing where to dine.They have a vast menu, mostly Italian dishes, which are well prepared. And a lot to choose from for desert. My favorite is the ice cream in homemade pastry. It's so devine, I think I have to have a delivery tonight.So whether you want pizza or Veal Franchise, they have it. And their dishes are all delicious.It gets very busy, so I believe you can make reservations.And if you want a great dinner but aren't up to going out, they deliver. And it always arrives hot, which is rare.”
“Nice, friendly feeling place with good food. Limited beer selection if you don't like common cheap beers. Very friendly staff and the owner is a great guy. We will be back when in the area.”

“I've been literally eating there my whole life, Mr A and Carmen are like family. Excellent food and service 5 stars all the way, chicken Parm hoagie is my favorite and love both round and Sicilian pizzas ?I definitely recommend you try it and guarantee you'll be back for more”
“The food was amazing!! Really delicious!! All the staff were so welcoming and attentive! One star lost due to a very sticky floor. Food was good enough to get take out, but the tackiness of the floor was so annoying no matter where you put your foot down. ?”
“Not sure what you are in the mood for?You can always count on a good Diner to satisfy your indecision. This location will not disappoint. Conveniently located off a major highway access, this is good anytime of the day. Went today for a late breakfast. Seating and service is prompt and coffee is hot!Has the standard Diner menu with a plethora of options! Always a good failsafe location to get a good meal.”
