★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Schimmel · Nov 2025

Great experience! The ambiance of the whole restaurant is another experience in itself. The food was great, chicken masala, maple salmon, the pork chop, sides of au gratin potatoes, broccoli and mashed potatoes. The dessert was the perfect ending with the cinnamon bun a la mode! Although the creme brule was on point and the triple chocolate cheesecake! Definitely a place to check out in your travels!

We came into the saloon near the end of the night and were the only people left. There was a limited late menu. We apparently just missed trivia night. Had to ask for music to be put on. We ordered a lot of food to sample and a good amount of drinks. The Cajun steak bites were dry, tasted like they were reheated. The wings were overcooked and dry. Egg rolls were good and the jalapeno poppers were good. The drinks were good and the bartender was very friendly. We heard good things about this place but were ultimately not impressed. However, I'd try again when it's busier and the full menu is in play.

We came here twice during our stay in the Poconos. We came for breakfast first and loved it. He got the veggie omelet and I got the eggs Benedict. The cheddar scone was fantastic with it. We also got a couple of scones to go from the cafe. They were perfect later as a snack! We loved breakfast so much we came back for dinner the last night of vacation and it did not disappoint! My husband had the scallops and loved them and I had the braised beef. All of it was delicious! If you’re in the area we definitely would recommend it. Very cool atmosphere and very friendly staff.

It was very nice to see the inside. Now the food, for the price you would expect a competent chef. We had a large party that ordered all different dinners. They were all over cooked and awful. My husband and son were sick all night. My crab cakes were basically filling. Everything was precooked and microwaved. The prices were outrageous for something I can cook 10x better and would take the challenge on. I feel it cost alot to fix the place so they cut corners with the food. We will never return and would recommend anyone to save their money.

The restaurant is stunning!! It was brought back to life but left in the era it was built. The food is delicious! We got burgers, soup, fries and queso. Everything was timed perfectly so that we could enjoy the soups without rushing, then the burgers fries and queso came. Everything was exactly as ordered and exceeded our expectations! The burgers are some of the best around!!! We also enjoyed their fresh-brewed iced tea! The waitress was very friendly and accommodating! The restaurant is meticulously clean! There is nothing bad that we can say about this place!! Highly recommend stopping in AND making it a regular visit! It’s just THAT good!!
