Fantastic food, great service and hilarious and lovely cat themed pictures all throughout. Staff is very friendly and accommodating when we had a group of 8. The strawberry pie of delicious. We have been here twice now and it has become our go to seafood restaurant.

I've lived in Allentown for 52 years and this was my first time here. It was my husband's 55th birthday. He started with a salad. We both got French onion soup. It was thick, almost like gravy. So so delicious. We both ordered chicken parm. The portion was HUGE! The chicken was delish but the pasta was bland. It came with mixed veggies. They were sorta hard. We shared a piece of strawberry pie. It was SLAMMIN!!! They brought the pie with a candle and sang happy birthday. I didnt ask them to do it. Our waitress heard me mention his birthday. It was such a nice gesture. The bill was fair. Plus I had a clip coupon (which is what brought us here) I will definitely be back. *make a reservation

Me and my wife went there for the first time. I had the lobster flight and she had the crab legs. The food was fantastic and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

Overall amazing food and experience! First time we have gone and it certainly won’t be the last. Dinner with a group of 9, service was amazing from start to finish, food was amazing, the strawberry pie dessert is unreal! Everyone ate so much and still had left overs to take home, well done to the entire staff! If your thinking about going to the Fairgrounds Hotel for dinner stop thinking, make a reservation and GO!

We really enjoyed Everything, the staff was great, knowledge and friendly, and the food was superb! I had crab stuffed flounder with redskin mashed potatoes, my husband got shrimp Alfredo. And for dessert we got 2 pieces of strawberry pie to go. The slices are Huge, and delicious! Definitely coming back!
