    I’ve been to this restaurant several times over the years and the food is consistently excellent, but the service has been really slow. The first time they said they were short staffed because of COVID, the next time it was really crowded, but this time there was no excuse. There were only 4 occupied tables.

    The food was pricey, yet not one item was average or below. Best crab cakes we've ever had. Service from our waitress was very pleasant, though we needed to ask for everything such as appetizer dishes, steak knife for our steak, drink refills. The thing that truly ruined the experience was the rigidity and lack of customer service skills of the hostess. We had 5 in our party, including our 90 year old mother. The wall air conditioner was blowing cold air directly on our table and the temperature was set at 66 degrees. When we went to move the table 2 ft in order to avoid this, the hostess ran over and said we can't move the table. When I inquired as to why, she said it scratches the floor and changes the path for staff. Neither of these were a factor for this circumstance. It was 5:00, so sparse, and we are in our 50s/60s - not teenagers roughly and needlessly moving tables. We decided to move outside, where we received our meal. There was no attempt at apology or even subtle service recovery. Had we not have ordered and waited already, we would have left and don't intend to return.

    Great ambience…lovely place to dine. The food was very tasty. Someone in our group got the sandwich with the shaved ribeye. The ribeye was a bit on the fatty side which led to the 4 stars. We would go again, just wouldn’t order that type of sandwich. Good value and pleasant and attentive server.

    Food was outstanding. Well- flavored just not HOT ! it came to us medium warm. I don't think this was a kitchen issue but the wait staff fault. Seating was great. It got busy while we were there. Before 10 quiet after 10 busy. Bathroom needs some remodeling. Food served in a pan was a cool concept. Price was great. Parking lot wasn't too bad, it was pouring rain. We will return. Enjoyed this spot

    Finally got to try this place! Love the charming Roark BFF fireplace and the moose head on the wall. The staff were more than attentive and the drinks were delicious! We asked about the Tomahawk steak since we had seen it in other reviews and it wasn’t on the menu. The chef was more than happy to make it for us. It was an abundance of food, portion size was over the top.

    A gem in the Poconos! Great food, nice country tavern/pub atmosphere. Service was excellent. Nice square bar with a zillion TVs to watch a game and eat. Elk, Bison and other treats. Very clean. We truly enjoyed. First time experience and we will definitely be back.

    Bbq ribs were cooked way too much. Manager tried to make excuse that it’s smoked. It was horrible , wouldn’t even give it to my dog! We asked for an expresso martini and that was horrible and again manager slash bartender said that’s how I make it and she wouldn’t exchange the drink. We felt bad for waitress who was understanding yet couldn’t do anything to remedy the situation. We will never go there again and will spread the word how bad the food and drinks were. Worst meal experience we ever had.

    We ordered quite a bit because we wanted to try so many things. Delicious onion rings. I had the pork shank, perfectly cooked and flavorful! My husband and the Bear Burger, great blend of sirloin, short rib & brisket. I was jealous of that. Nice smoky mac & cheese. Fresh caesar salad. Our waitress Summer was absolutely delightful. We highly recommend!

    This restaurant doesn't have the staff to accomodate diners. Even with reservations the wait was going to be over 1 1/2 hours to be served. We were seated by the bartender since there wasn't a host and sat for 25 minutes and never even approached. Yet they continued to bring in people but had not spoken to us at all. We realized the situation wasn't going to get better so we left before we could even try the food.

    Really expected to love it here after so many wonderful reviews and photos, but the service was not OK and the food wasn’t even close to what we expected. The menu online was different from what we were handed and my “stuffed” chicken had a dime sized spot of stuffing all the way at the end of the chicken roll. Everything needed salt especially the stuffed pepper soup, which I was excited to try. Waited for 10 minutes for drinks (water) and the girl training two others was super nice at the table, but yelling whenever she went into the kitchen, even kicking the door open so hard at one point it came back at her and she nearly dropped things. We felt like she needed help on a Saturday with training others and still having to wait tables. The dining room was beautiful and clean and we liked the decor, but the waitstaff was slow and even brought us the wrong food at one point. I honestly felt like maybe ownership had changed hands right before we came because things were so different from what we had read about.
