Isabella 1140 PA-315, Wilkes-Barre Fine Dining • $$$

“A staple in the northeastern Pennsylvania cuisine scene.
White tablecloth fine dining, menu excellent , genuinely welcoming.. they have a cozy little bar for a table for two on a busy night. Staff is wonderful, truly great service and I believe there is a gentleman that opens the door for the guests ( at least that's what my mom told me ). Also I'd like to know that they chose to put those tablecloth mats on each table, so your plates don't ping off the tabletop, things sit nice, comfy on the elbows.. As a dweeb, I take notice of those extra touches.. just sayin'
Delicious traditional dishes, but with a real touch of genuine.
They put craft and dedication to cooking these traditional dishes.
The staff is one of the finest in the area, service was outstanding I would say make sure to order the special. Even though you might not know what it is, you can trust that this kitchen will deliver an amazing plate.
Recently I went there with my parents, and they reminded me to wear something nice and make sure I don't have any holes in my jeans.. haha!
That's the kind of place this is in a great way.
Isabella has been doing it great for I would say almost 20 years one of my best friends used to cook their way back when and was always regarded as a very great kitchen in the area.
Always a great choice.
Thank you very much Isabella I will see you again! See you around!

Philly Halal Gyro 94 S Pennsylvania Ave, Wilkes-Barre Halal • $

“I needed gas and happened to see this small food trailer with a few customers, the aroma coming from the food was amazing. I had never had halal food before so while there was no line I walked over to check it out. The woman working allowed me to taste the chicken and it was delicious. I asked how it was served and she said I'll make you a combination platter. She piled up a container with a seasoned long grain rice with chickpeas in a sauce, a big scoop of seasoned chicken and a scoop of cubed lamb. She recommended the white sauce on everything but not knowing what it was I asked for just a little. Hands down one of the tastiest meals I've had and extremely filling from the large portion.
Update: September '25
I happened to be in Wilkes-Barre again today and I saw the food truck, There was again a line and I remembered that I liked the food, its been about a year and I couldn't remember what I had or liked. When I got to the window the same friendly woman was working. I said I don't remember what I had but it was chicken and something else she said ahh it was chicken with lamb over rice. How did she remember me from a year ago?! She asked if I wanted the chickpeas and I said yes so she gave a big scoop. I than said extra white sauce because it was amazing on the entire dish. It was as delicious as I remember and now that I'm sitting here stuffed I wanted to post a review. I absolutely recommend you to try this place. The food and service is amazing. I could see this place doing well with a brick and mortar location but I'm sure that would cause a price increase. A full overflowing Styrofoam container of the above with a can of ice cold soda was $10 and that cant be beat as I'll likely be full all day off this meal.”

Ruth's Chris Steak House 1280 PA-315, Wilkes-Barre Steak House • $$$

“We had an overall good experience. Our wait staff was wonderful! Detailed, attentive, unassuming. The young men that were clearing or filling water were excellent too. Our food was delicious. However, it was my mother-in-law’s first visit. She has ambulation issues and walks slowly. We entered the casino floor which is gated off from the shops and restaurants. We did not realize we could not enter the restaurant from our position without going back to the front entrance. There was a gate located about 20 ft from the restaurant and I had hoped that if we asked them to open it for a disabled patron they may be able to help. I called to the (5 or 6) women behind the host station. They looked at me and ignored me. I called out again and a woman came out to talk to us. It was obvious she was unhappy to help. I asked if the gate could bel opened to allow my mother to cross the isle without going all the way back. She (later found out her name was Dawn and she was one of two managers) was dismissive, short and offered no assistance, no empathy. And she finished by saying “this IS a casino”. Which I found insultingly obvious. I suspect she didn’t realize we had a reservation. I suspect Dawn didn’t realize we were going to be her customers. I didn’t mention it - but shouldn’t they be hospitable to even the casino goers? It’s wasn’t a big deal in the scheme of life. But it did put a dark cloud over our dinner. I’ve been to Ruth Chris many times at many different locations. I’ve never been treated poorly. I won’t be returning the Wilkes-Barre location.”

As we were waiting for our food, we were able to watch the employees make sushi which was kind of cool. Our server was extremely dry and not friendly at all. We ordered a beef and asparagus appetizer which neither of us had seen before. This was sooo good. I ordered salmon hibachi, the person I was with got the duck. Both meals were well seasoned, had a lot of flavor, and had great portion sizes. The dollar amount for the meals weren't bad.”

The food was absolutely amazing—delicious, fresh, and a total hit with all of our guests—but what really set them apart was their exceptional service. The team went above and beyond to make our day special. They prepared custom plates just for me and my husband, packaged up all the leftovers, and even left us a thoughtfully packed meal for the end of the night. Every detail was handled with such care and consideration, and it made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. Mission BBQ brought not only incredible food but also warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. We’re so grateful for their role in our big day—it wouldn’t have been the same without them!”

Employee of Franklin indicated that he’s been told about this before. Call the mayor’s office. His secretary says it’s permissible and that if it bothers me for me to call 911 for the police to handle. Spent a lot of money between drinks and dinner there not happy at all. Wilkes-Barre‘s administration want people to come downtown and patronize businesses. I’m not gonna go down there if I’m gonna have to listen to that for two hours.”

“I had just missed my flight back home and after 5 hours at the airport things began to look rather grim. I then decided to take a walk and by complete luck happened to use this location as a pickup spot for my Uber. What started as me wanting a small snack then turned into a newfound appreciation for Somali cuisine and an eating experience I will have yet to forget. Tawakal Halal gave me the best food and service in about 14 minutes than other establishments have managed to give me in an hour, so great in fact, that I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t go a second time before I left. The food by itself is beyond amazing and I could write a whole review entirely on how great the food is, however, my personal favorites were the Goat Biryani and the Halwa as an excellent dessert option after. In addition to the food, the service here was amazing as well. The staff were always making sure I had everything I needed and doing everything they could to make my experience there a pleasant one, even offering me tea as I waited for my Uber. All in all, the best way I could describe this café to anyone wanting to know more about it is that it is truly everything you could ever ask for in a dining experience: fantastic food and amazing service. It even no longer made me upset that I missed my flight that day for if I hadn’t, I would have never been able to find this gem of a café. Thank you, Tawakal Halal, so much for giving me an experience I will never forget and know that when I return to Boston, you can bet the first stop on my itinerary will be your café.

Shogun Japanese Restaurant 1073 PA-315, Wilkes-Barre Japanese • $$

“We came to this restaurant on our second night in town. The hostess sat us next to a window where we could watch the creek. As we were waiting for our food, we were able to watch the employees make sushi which was kind of cool. Our server was extremely dry and not friendly at all. We ordered a beef and asparagus appetizer which neither of us had seen before. This was sooo good. I ordered salmon hibachi, the person I was with got the duck. Both meals were well seasoned, had a lot of flavor, and had great portion sizes. The dollar amount for the meals weren't bad.”

It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for.

Miller's Ale House 2310 Wilkes Barre Township Blvd, Wilkes-Barre Sports Bar • $

“I was at Millers in W-B on 4/27, which was also the night of a concert up the street. It was packed. The staff at the front door were SO NICE! We waited at least 30 min at the bar with no eye contact from either bartender. Then, a man who was I’m assuming a server jumped back and served us. We were so thankful and he was also, SO NICE!!!! We sat at the bar for one hour until our table was ready. I used to bartend, so I get it that you can be busy, but at least acknowledge the customers. I also observed arguing between staff and then apologies. I’m assuming, bc it was busy and the main bar tender was stressed, but take that behind the scenes. When we finally got to our table we had Zachary as our server who was PHENOMENAL!!!!! He knew we had a show to get to. He was attentive, friendly, funny and the BEST! I would probably go back, bc the French dip was delicious, but not on a busy night.”

“Starbucks (every where) have always been slow - it's just the nature of the beast. Their addition of the drive thru to many of their stores has always baffled me - there is always a line inside, so why did you think adding a drive thru wouldn't add to everyone's wait time - inside and out. That said this location was very nice. You just have to want to add 20-30 minutes to your schedule if you go.”

Pica pollo el Antojito 526 S Main St, Wilkes-Barre Chicken Wings • $$

“Great place to grab a bite. Food is flavorful and service was friendly. They are reasonably priced (almost too much so) especially with the rising cost of takeout these days. You get a lot of food for your money here.

The only reason I’m giving atmosphere 4 stars is because of the lack of parking and there’s not that many seats for dining in. But most people take their food to go and whenever I’ve visited I usually have no trouble finding a seat (though as word gets out about this place that may not be the case for long).

Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.”

“My husband and I came in late for a replacement order Saturday night expecting to be treated the way you're normally treated when you go ANYWHERE for a replacement after an issue; but boy, we're we wrong! The crew that were working that night went above and beyond! Our food was replaced quickly, was hot, fresh, beautifully presented and excellent!! Antonio, Nathan, & Dalton were 3 of the most wonderful employees I think we've ever encountered!! These 3 gentlemen were so kind and helpful and friendly, they should be training the rest of the staff because they KNOW how to treat not only customers, but people. Burger King should be extremely proud of the 3 employees who not only took pride in their jobs, but took pride in themselves as well, which you don't see often in the younger generation anymore. I will definitely come back to this particular store!! Good job, guys!”
