“My girlfriends and I are on a mini vacation in Wilkes Barre PA, and we went to Isabella for dinner. Before going in we decided to take some pictures together. While trying to do a selfie two lovely people offered to take the picture for us. They were so kind and very friendly. Little that we knew they were the owners of Isabella and we talk with them. The dinner was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if ever in the Winker Barre area in P.A.”
“Such a great place to enjoy and explore delicious food!”

“This is my second time here because the first time I was blown away. This time they brought my food 🍱 I had the most random surprise..4 pieces of cake and a random container of pineapple…I literally just had a five year old wake up from a nap who’s birthday is this weekend so he totally thought it was meant for him, and then the pineapple! I eat pineapple with every meal so this surprise totally kicked butt. You totally just made me a weekly customer.”
“The BEST PIZZA! Wing pizza with blue cheese/pizza cheese/wing sauce and their famous red sauce! It’s just awesome! It hits the sweet side and a bit of spice !! Just too good! There’s no pizza that comes close! Yummy! Along with any other pizza with toppings! Win win !”
“Vino’s makes a Reuben that puts all other Reubens to shame. Ever since trying it, all other Reubens fall short. It easily beats out KJ’s Pickle Barrel and Pierce St Deli and even tops another really good local Reuben made by Goldstein’s Deli. Miller’s Bar in Charlottesville, VA has a really good Reuben, supposedly made famous by Dave Matthews, but it still can’t hold a candle to Vino’s.
I’ve tried a lot of their other menu items and have never been disappointed, but I probably won’t get around to trying anything else because of how good their Reuben is.
Vino’s does tend to get really busy and, because of their size and the high demand for their food, they do tend to get backed up, especially during the lunch rush. So, you may need to call several times before you’ll get through, but it’s worth it.”
“We love coming to Bennys! All the girls on staff are so great. Their service, attentiveness and all around contagious friendly personalities are what keep us coming back. We especially love our server Sarah!!:) Bennys is lucky to have all his staff!”
“Just the best for craft beer and food! Lots of craft brew pubs have great beer but average food. Not here. The food offerings are different and delicious. We had a pumpkin pizza. It was innovative and wonderful. If you are in the area you must stop by. You won't be disappointed.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicapped parking and a ramp for accessibility.”
“We are in town for a concert and wanted something to eat so we saw Kikos had rellano de papa's, potato balls but unfortunately they didn't have any. But we eat a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich as well as empandas. The shrimp one was the best I ever had!! And the tostones were great!! So glad we found this place!”

“Stopped in for dinner today since it's been awhile since we visited. We were greeted by the friendliest staff. Upon getting our seats, the waitress immediately came up and introduced herself and drinks were served within minutes. Our appetizers were lush, I got the grilled shrimp and he ordered the rattlesnake bites. He thoroughly enjoyed all the bread. The waitress was amazing and even told us there was a slight hiccup which we appreciated the heads up but we're still enjoying the apps so a small wait - no problem! The entrees came out and were delectable!! His was completely gone within a half hour and the rest of mine will be enjoyed at home. We got to see three birthday celebrations. A great touch! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an absolute mouth watering meal with some of the best staff members in the area.”
“Hands down the best and most popular resturant in NEPA. This place is always jammed packed, even on holidays. Wait staff, and management really take care of their customers. I reccomend the ceaser salad and hanger steak. The creme brulee is the best and highly sought after. You are never dissapointed here- even the kitchen staff will come out and check on you. A+++”
“I took my Love, Maritza here for Valentine's Day. It was very enjoyable except when I ordered the Stuffed Chicken Marsala, it was EXTREMELY salty.( I am an experienced chef and food experimenter. ) so I informed our waitress, who responded quickly and without hesitation offered a fresh plate or change of order.
Shortly after the manager came to the table attempting to change my opinion of how the dish was a Very salty type of preparation.
I again had to stand by my statement about the plating.
Please, Olive Garden, you need a Chef to insure quality going to your customers.
If I was there any other time, I would have just walked out!”
“Excellent service, and the food was good.
Vegetarian options: Many options
Parking: Parking is paid(street or garage)and during peak hours very limited.”
“We ordered takeout and it was delicious! It was ready promptly and it has been a while since I’ve been able to find good, authentic Indian food close by. So happy to have this place in Wilkes-Barre!”

“After spending a night at Trumps rally we needed a good breakfast. Being out of the area, the hotel recommended D's Diner. Great recommendation, food was great at a fair price and service was super. We all left satisfied. A true family owned restaurant when you see the owners working with staff to keep things flowing during peek time. I would highly recommend D's diner.”
“Hard working people at this McDonalds. Gave it 5 stars across the board, which is of course relative to this being a McDonalds.
Staff is friendly and the food they provide is up to brand standards. Well constructed. Most importantly, my fries are always salted. Many locations miss that, but not these guys.”
“I had dinner there with friends and everything was super. The food was delicious, and the service was even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great meal and very good waitress and bartender.”
“Amazing experience again for my son's choice of dinner. Appetizers arrived quickly and were eagerly devoured by my son and his father. My steak was the perfect blend of rare and exceptional taste. The Brussels sprouts were pure perfection and I recommend them to everyone. My only regret is not recalling the name of the outstanding young man who served us. He was beyond kind, attentive, and courteous even with many full tables. To the manager of this establishment, you are running a fantastic family friendly environment. And I thank you. To the waiter, I do hope you see this and enjoy Cape Cod your next visit. It was a pleasure to meet you.”

“I don't normally endorse just any restaurant, but we stumbled upon the best Mexican restaurant in the area. La Cantina Amigon on S. Main Street in Wilkes-Barre is the place you need to go when you're craving excellent Mexican food, great service (see Delia), and fair prices. 😋👍🏻👍🏻 🌮”
“I arrived very hungry about 5 minutes before closing, the place was already all cleaned up and they still served me. I felt bad but they were more than happy to make a gyro for me. It was my first ever gyro and it was delicious. The atmosphere felt very welcoming and friendly. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in town again.”
“Sometimes it's hard to find a cafe with great coffee and friendly baristas. (Often baristas have an attitude.) This place has super friendly staff and I was happy that the large coffee "for here" can be served in real mugs instead of to-go cups and that they put 4 shots of espresso in the large. It's also hard to find non dairy unsweetened milk, but they have it here. Prices are not ridiculously high like many places. Definitely recommend!”
“I Can Honestly Say The Hot Dogs Are Amazing Two Of Them Are The Minimum To Me But They Are Also Priced To A Decent Amount Never Over Priced And It's Family Owned The People That Own Abe's Hot Dogs Are Amazing People If You Are Looking For Hot Dogs This Is The Place!!!!!”
“Love sitting at the bar and grabbing a drink with my friends! Their peach martini is definitely my fave!”
“Another amazing meal! Probably our 12th time here and we travel from almost 2 hours away, the food as usually was perfect and the service was impeccable. Dustin is an amazing server and very attentive and really makes it a great experience.”

“Not from the area, but Mom and I stopped in here for some quick drinks and snacks while passing by, on our way home from our latest adventure.Nice little spot. Seems like it's probably the horse in a one horse town. Seems like all the locals hang here, and it was pretty busy.Convenience store, hot food, cold beer, a gas station, and a car wash!They had my favorite Red Bull here, the juneberry one, which was awesome because it's hard to find since the end of summer because I think it was discontinued.I'm glad we stopped here too, because we discovered one tire was real low on air. The air pump we used in the back was soooo slow, but it ran forever, so it got the job done. On our way out we saw another newer air pump by the carwash that takes credit cards and everything. That one probably works better, I wish I noticed it at first.Anyways, the people at the counter were really nice. I'd stop here again if in the area, for sure!”
“It's latin food truck but they also have hotdogs, Philly cheesesteak and chicken wings. Their pastelitos (aka empanadas) are amazing, especially the cheese pastelito (totally recommend if you're vegetarian). Totally recommend if you need a good snack to-go that is much better than anything taco bell has, with better quality meats, ingredients, and is more natural. Quesadillas are another great item on the menu. Doesn't come with the typical sour cream, salsa, guac, but doesn't need it. If anything the pink sauce is enough if you ask for it. It's a shame there's no tables or chairs set up to eat. I just had mine standing up.
Vegetarian options: Some items like the cheese pastelito is highly recommended. Many items I'm sure like the quesadillas for instance can be modified to be cheese only, which would still taste amazing and comes with fries. Tostones (deep fried plantains) is another good option.”
“6-20-24 Family in from out of state. Pizza for lunch, I suggested Aldo's, though I've never been, it's close to home (Hudson).
We ordered 2 small pies one cheese and one Hawaiian. And Buffalo Wing Wraps. Excellent all around. The crust was chewy, which I loved. Service was excellent as well. Much better than the well know Pizza place by the Mall. There we waited for service and then we had no plates. Again had to wait. Highly recommend Aldo's.”
“Last owners were great, but new owners are super welcoming and sweet. The food AMAZING. I had black beans over white rice, chicken in sauce, sweet plantains and let me tell you… FLAVORFUL!!!!! Clean bathrooms and clean dining. You get nice Spanish gospel music while you eat. I like the new addition where they have a buffet still options to choose from. You want delicious Spanish food in a welcoming atmosphere… this is your place!!!!!”

“Not impressed! We had a family birthday celebration here for about 25 people. Only 1 server. Waited forever for food & drinks. The server never brought me my meal until last minute(ended up taking home) My niece was served raw chicken. No cranberries for the Cranberry/walnut chicken salad & it didn't smell the best. Fountain soda tasted terrible! No coleslaw offered even though it was part of our meal. No A1 sauce for the steak. Never again!”

“When my Jeep grenaded it’s serpentine belt I pulled into the owners lot where I was greeted by Don and Vicky, they looked at my car, insisted I come in to stay warm and even gave me a few pints to take the sting of breaking down away! It doesn’t hurt they like the Steelers either! I will be back soon for real with my wife to say hello”
“We had lunch at Franklin‘s this past Sunday. Our son is at a local college and we have been going around trying different restaurants. So far this has been our absolute best experience. We sat at the bar and Matthew the bartender made us feel welcome right away. Our food was hot and delicious. I got a chicken buffalo wrap and my husband got a special that day, a chicken cutlet sandwich with provolone and homemade vodka sauce, I highly recommend this restaurant. The vibe is cool. Can’t wait to go back again the next time we are in town.”
“I'd love to be able to give this fine establishment, 6, or 7 stars on every occasion, every day, everything .!!!
Parking: There's parking, sometimes, you may walk further,, but it is worth the walk !!!
Kid-friendliness: FABULOUS
Wheelchair accessibility: Helps, iff someone, helps hold a door open !”
“My family and I had some friend over Saturday evening and wanted to keep it simple with pizza. Our order was a plain, pepperoni and a grandma. As usual every pie was so fresh and delicious. My favorite will always be the grandma, just the right amount of pesto oil, thin and crispy. While I forget his name, the tall gentleman with glasses, who I assume is the manager, is always so polite and keeps things moving behind the counter. Dino’s will always be a pizza that I enjoy and highly recommend!!!!”
“I enjoyed my first trip to CrisNics this weekend after the America concert at the Kirby. My sisters have been there before and really enjoyed it, so I went along. I’m so happy I did! Great drinks, awesome food, large portions! But the most important and remarkable aspect of my experience was the friendly and engaging staff! They were incredible! Loved every minute we spent there! We will recommend people go to CrisNics and we will definitely be back! Thank you!! Slainte! 🍻☘️🇮🇪🍻”
“my husband and I just ate there with our grandson 😋 was really good food and Isabella was amazing what a sweet girl and everyone is very nice there . I highly recommend this place to eat and service is impeccable...thank you again Isabella for our first experience there today 😀”
“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.

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.”
“Went to eat on May 18 and the food and service were very good. The meat was perfectly cooked”
“I went in alone and nervous because it was my 1st time out in over a decade but place was really nice and welcoming I just need to visit with friends. I've heard great comments about their shows. I didn't have the best experience only because "I wasn't ready" but it's definitely worth going to again.”
“The only "seafood" I consume is Haddock , Cod, Halibut and Tilapia, but: this is the one and only place I would and do purchase these from. Always clean, friendly staff, and excellent products. If you're not in the mood to cook, try their cooked meals, platters, etc. Have been purchasing from here for years and will continue to do so.”

“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. 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. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared”

“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.”
“I paid a visit to every single diner in our area.
By far, this Ihop has surprised me the most. We all think that
Mom and Pop diner have a much better chance of having greater food and service, but this franchised IHOP, which is specifically at this location, has great quality of food and is very clean at all time.
I discovered that because the owner actually does personally be there.Take care of every aspect of it quality.
Some of the waiter and waitresses can use a little more training, but they are already working on improving this area.
Everyone should give this place a chance to prove that they are, as good as mom and pop places, if not better.
Unlike any other stereotypical franchises, they are very accommodating, and they're always willing to listen to the customer.
One more added note They're actual food, and pictures on the menu are pretty close, unlike all other franchises, which have fancy pictures, but actual serving are extremely off from pictures in the menu.”

“Absolutely love going to cork! It’s a fantastic place for a date night, girls night or anything in between. The staff is always attentive and friendly. I have several other friends that make it a point to go there weekly and they always leave well fed and happy with their service from staff. You won’t regret adding cork to your list of places to visit!”
