  • "New best little haunt in Jim Thorpe."
  • "The atmosphere is super chill and bartenders are friendly."
  • "Great spot in JT with a cool steampunk vibe."
  • "The decor is awesome too. The upstairs area has a game room with large leather sofas and lots of games."
  • "Decor is an industrial spooky. Just a great atmosphere."

Cons:

  • "The restaurant is extremely dark. Could barely see my menu."
  • "To be fair, it was my own fault for not promptly exiting after entering an establishment that has the gall to have no A/C on when the current temperature is 87 degrees or so."
  • "Who in the world is coming here for ambience? You are better off taking a seat on the sidewalk outside the restaurant."
  • "I sat down in a dark and dreary restaurant that has all of 20 seats."
  • "The ambiance leaned heavily toward a bar vibe, with limited seating available (we ended up sitting at the barrel table)."
  • "The place is small and can be very tight with a crowd."
  • "Drinks were okay but boasted little alcohol and failed to cool me."

Service

Pros:

  • "The young ladies were very attentive and friendly."
  • "Staff was friendly and inviting."
  • "The staff is warm, welcoming, and friendly."

Cons:

  • "THEY STOLE MY MONEY. It’s simple I went into the bar ordered a $7 beer, tipped $2 on the receipt, signed it and the next day I see a charge on my card for $13."
  • "The waitress did not inquire why he had to dissect each slider with a knife and abandoned half of each sandwich."
  • "I ordered a drink that tasted nothing like it was supposed to.. it was supposed to be sweet and tasted very sour.. barmaid could have cared less.. said the 'mix' tasted fine to her...."
  • "The waiter also needs to write down our order when she takes it so she doesn’t forget."
  • "Had to hunt down a waiter to order food and then look for someone again when the food was taking forever."
  • "Literally sat there for at least 15 more minutes just waiting for even smile, water or even eye contact."
  • "The bartenders have to remember people can hear and see them when they are talking behind the bar."

Food & Drinks

Pros:

  • "All of the beers and alcohols are Pennsylvania local."
  • "Food was very good. Surprised me at how tasty it was."
  • "The craftsmanship of the cocktails and beer on tap are not only local, but quality."
  • "The Lavender Lemonade, Spicy Peach Margarita, and Free Will beer are so delicious."
  • "The food was delicious and came out quickly after ordering."
  • "The Korean BBQ bar was stuffed with pork and was well-flavored."
  • "The drinks are sublime, delicious & strong. So worth the price!!"

Cons:

  • "What did I just pay $14 for?? Got the Memphis sliders, they taste decent, but $14 for this!?"
  • "The French onion upon soup was terrible. It was 100% boxed beef broth with some store bought udom noodles in it."
  • "The $15 dollar 'smoked chicken' nachos contained a handful of chicken chunks that had no flavor."
  • "The food was good but the menu could be more diverse, most options were different variations of flatbread or tacos."
  • "The food (despite the Facebook posturing and hype) was poorly executed and frankly appalling."
  • "The tacos had too much sauce. It was a dripping hot mess."
  • "The food is ALWAYS amazing and on point."

Value

Pros:

  • "Food is absolutely delicious as well! It's not the cheapest place around but you definitely get your money's worth with the quality."
  • "The drinks were a bit expensive for the size, but it is a tourist town."
  • "Don't let the prices scare you off."

Cons:

  • "Visited this place after a friend went there... I only gave this place a 3 star because we ordered fries and asked for more ketchup...which costs $0.50 for the extra ketchup."
  • "We will never come back to this place no matter how good their food is! Total shame!!!"
