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!”

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.

“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.”

“LOVE the pupusas!!! And such nice people!”

“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!”

“IDK Why but every time we order from doordash the order gets messed up. Its usually a item is missing. Tonight was the salad that comes with my Rigatoni dinner. only received the rigatoni. they don't even give any bread. for $19.00 Francos doesn't deliver to us. We are in Wyoming .”

“This was an amazing experience. My husband and I actually doordashed. Food was fresh and hot, condiments were in the bag as well as plasticware. The food was like homecooked, which is what we were looking for. I called the manager and thanked her as well”

“Five Stars is Not Enough – Thai Thai is a Culinary Treasure!

From the moment you step into Thai Thai, you know you're in for something special. The aromas drifting from the kitchen alone are enough to transport you straight to the heart of Thailand. This place doesn’t just serve Thai food — it lives and breathes it. Every bite is a bold testament to authenticity, balance, and flavor mastery.

Let’s start with the Drunken Noodles: perfectly chewy rice noodles stir-fried with fresh Thai basil, crisp vegetables, and just the right kick of heat. It’s a dish that dances on your tongue — spicy, savory, a little sweet — and completely addictive.

The Green Curry is nothing short of perfection. Creamy coconut milk blended with fragrant green chili paste, tender meat or tofu, and vibrant veggies, served piping hot. It’s soul-warming and layered with flavor in the way only a true Thai kitchen can accomplish.

Their Pad See Eew is another showstopper. Wide, flat noodles seared to smoky perfection in a dark soy sauce with tender broccoli and eggs — simple, comforting, and exactly how it should taste when done right.

And don’t even think about skipping the Pineapple Fried Rice. It’s the ideal harmony of sweet and savory, studded with juicy pineapple chunks, cashews, raisins, and just the right spices. Served in a hollowed-out pineapple, it’s as stunning to look at as it is to eat.

Thai Thai isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a destination. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Thai cuisine or new to its magic, this place delivers every single time. If you're looking for bold, authentic flavors and unforgettable dishes, Thai Thai is the real deal.”

“Met my children their last night for dinner. What a find. Easy to get to, not same old tired menu selection, great food with detailed presentation. Strong service staff. Look forward to going back when in the area.”

“Best Mexican food in the area. Large portions. Very nice people. Highly recommended. Try it.”

“Excellent fried Sicilian pizza. Loved the dough. Will be back!”

“1st time at Franklin's.. loved the fact they had outdoor seating.. nice place! Great food & the service was impeccable.. highly recommend if you're in Wilkes-Barre area”

“Illiano's is by far the best restaurant in the valley. There's something for everyone on the menu. Order the sicilian marinara pizza...thick crust, fresh tomatoes, garlic and plenty of cheese. If you're not happy, it's on you. It's definitely not the food”

“Yep! It’s just like NYC pizza. I am glad to have found this place!!

The pizza is good, thin and crunchy. The sauce is on point and the cheese is good.

For me personally, cheese taste better than pepperoni slice. I have yet to try anything else but do plan on continue visits and try many other things. Wait on the updates.

The place is clean, the condiments are organized and the restroom were clean.

The customer service is ok.”

“Food is amazing and service was absolutely perfect! Very reasonable prices! No surprise they've been in business for almost 40 years! If you don't try them out, you're missing out!”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

“we went to Pronto Pizza in Wilkes Barre we got regular Pizza and BBQ chicken Pizza 🍕 both were very good and a good price as well”

“Friendly staff, clean shop, and really great food. I had an outstanding chicken parm sub. Lightly toasted, melty cheese, properly cooked chicken, and really favorable sauce. It was packaged so it was still piping hot when I brought it home. Close to Hampton in & Hilton Garden Inn. It will be on my list of places to return to when I travel thru Wilkes-Barre.”

“Awesome customer service and food!”

“Great food, customer service is owners middle name. Been a regular for years. Highly recommend :)”

“Love sitting at the bar and grabbing a drink with my friends! Their peach martini is definitely my fave!”

“Absolutely amazing coffee. Everything about this place is so cool and is just so cool. Best coffee I have ever had”

“Owner is so friendly and attentive. He gave us free empanadas while we waited for our order. The breakfast sandwiches were so tasty, perfectly seasoned and prepared with care. They have Spanish food on the weekends that I def plan to try!”

“Ended up here because of NEPA wing bulletin - was NOT Disappointed… so good service was great and Steve the cook is amazing - wings 10 out of 10”

“Best hardshells I've had in a long time!”

“The Samosas and Samosa Chaats were great. We loved the shrimp curry, the chicken curry, the Tika Marsala and the Kerla Curry Masala were out of this world. The customer service was AWESOME. We will definitely be back without a doubt.”

“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”

“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! 🍻☘️🇮🇪🍻”

“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. (The photos used in this review were taken from Tawakal Halal’s Instagram page with permission from Tawakal Halal)”

“I always come here to eat when I fly in from Arizona to visit my daughter. Excellent food and service”

“Oh my goodness, you simply have to try their ice cream—it's a game-changer! I've been a loyal customer for a solid five years now, and let me tell you, it never ceases to amaze me. The quality is top-notch, and the price? Totally worth it! My favorite is their twisted soft serve—it's like a culinary masterpiece! My only wish is that they were open every day because I find myself missing their ice cream dearly during the off-season. Here's hoping they expand their hours soon—I can't wait to indulge again!”

“Thank you for making Darcies day special!”

“This was an amazing experience. My husband and I actually doordashed. Food was fresh and hot, condiments were in the bag as well as plasticware. The food was like homecooked, which is what we were looking for. I called the manager and thanked her as well”

“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”

“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!

“Best hardshells I've had in a long time!”

“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.”

“A beautiful place to rest and relax with your friends and neighbors in Wilkes-Barre.”

“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.”

“100% 5-Star. Fantastic, savory food cooked the deep south way. Top notch customer service & they serve their community.”

“Great food, great atmosphere,great service”

“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.

“The food was excellent! The prices seem high but you get so much food. It's like 2 or 3 meals. The only thing we had a little issue with was we got our food before the appetizer. Still it was definitely worth the money.”

“This was an amazing experience. My husband and I actually doordashed. Food was fresh and hot, condiments were in the bag as well as plasticware. The food was like homecooked, which is what we were looking for. I called the manager and thanked her as well”
