"The host could use a bit of coaching in terms of approachability and vocal presence, as they seemed quite shy and reserved for someone greeting guests at the restaurant. However, I'm sure it's just a matter of practice, as we were seated without issue. The menu matches what's currently available online and offers a nice selection of pub fare, including salads, sandwiches, burgers, special entrees, and a few unique bites. I found the prices to be reasonable for the location.
What truly impressed us was the flavor. I usually bring my own spices because I've been let down by the lack of flavor in the Poconos before. I ordered the Cajun burger with sweet potato fries and was in heaven with its juicy, sweet, and savory taste. The pickles were thickly sliced, the remoulade was perfectly applied, and the chicken was fresh and not overly crispy. The brioche bun held up well, although I ultimately had to finish it with a knife and fork.
My partner had the Impossible bacon burger, which was equally juicy and flavorful. The bacon was freshly cooked to perfection. Naturally, we had to return so my partner could try the Cajun burger too. We also ordered the PA appetizer plate, which amusingly came on a Pennsylvania-shaped cutting board. It included sauces in cups and side plates, but I must warn you that it’s a hefty amount of delicious food—perfect for sharing among four people or taking leftovers home!
I also sampled the beef stew, which was served in a charming cauldron. It was hearty and came in a generous portion. My only minor complaints are that the service was a bit slow—though it is a resort, so the leisurely atmosphere fits—and the fries lacked salt, which they really needed.
Seriously, this place provides a fantastic dining experience!"
