Restaurants by Cuisine
“We’ve been here twice and both times were excellent. Food is really good and atmosphere is great. Most recently our server, Jonelle, was personable, friendly, and attentive. One of my favorite places to go locally.”
“Jesse was our waiter, he was fantastic! Very accommodating, friendly, and pleasant! Food was excellent as well as excellent service! Will definitely be making the 2hr trip to come back!”
“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Very delicious, fresh and authentic! We had the tomato soup which was delicious, the Rogan Josh (lamb) which was as also fantastic...and Chicken Curry that was perfectly spiced and tender! Highly recommend.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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 .”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!!!”
“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.”
“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”
“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! 🍻☘️🇮🇪🍻”
“The food and service were excellent, the atmosphere was very good, they are very humble people, I recommend them 100% La comida y el servicio fueron excelentes el ambiente 1A yo pedí pinchos con tostone súper ricos y la piña colada excelente gracias los recomiendo.”
“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.

“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!”
“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.”
“I hosted a 30th birthday party here for my friend and everything was fantastic! was able to add some touches with permission from the restaurant, staff was very kind and attentive. Definitely reccomend !”
“I had a fabulous experience! My first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent, the dirty martini was top notch, and the service was perfect. Ask for Connie to be your waitress-she rocks!”

“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.”
