Food choices here are A-Plus Convenience Store, Burger King, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Aunt Auntie Anne's Pretzels & Quiznos. Chose the Quiznos and got Black Angus Steakhouse. Came out pretty quickly, and was delicious. Wonderful "Rosemary" roll. Wife & I ate every bit. Definitely will get this again! Restrooms are clean and equipped! Pretty new service plaza, so it was a nice experience. Keep in mind that these locations are priced a little higher because we are a "captive audience".

Mcdonalds: I stopped in for breakfast thinking Ill get an egg and cheese mcmuffin. Who puts ham on something called "egg and cheese"? Needless to say, I went without breakfast because NOT ONE thing came without meat. Jerks. A-Plus: On the way back I desperatly needed gas, mostly because I refused to pay 3.15 in NY. I paid 2.75 here. So I went in and browsed. They have the usual convienience store junk, nothing special. I got some water and a sack of crackers. mmm. DECOR: Not much to say here. Mcdonalds looks like a mash up of restaurant and travel plaza. The A-Plus looks like any other convienience store.. SERVICE: Mcdonalds: None. A girl was mopping the floor, 3 guys were milling around waiting for help and no one came. A-Plus: Good. The help was friendly. ---------- FINAL THOUGHTS: Its a rest stop. Stop and rest. McDonalds sucks, but otherwise Id stop again. It was clean and friendly.

The F. M. Kirby Center is a staple of downtown Wilkes-Barre's entertainment scene. There are…read moreseveral options for parking around the building, most within a few blocks. I would suggest not parking at the James F. Conahan Intermodal Transportation Center as the entrance is confusing, getting out is a mess, and the unmanned attendants booth after a late show causes issues. Kirby Center has an older, classy theater look. Security at the entrance was your average wand check and didn't disrupt the experience. They have some basic concessions and serve alcohol. The Kirby Center is two levels, and if you are going to a movie showing, get lower level seats. When sitting in the mezzanine, the screen is too small and too far away as they don't use a theater style projector. If you are a bigger person, seats are an older style plastic with almost no give or legroom. The cupholders are very poorly placed. Even with these problems, attending an event at the Kirby Center is worth it because they get very audience specific shows. Get there early, find a good parking garage, and enjoy a show. Post Event: An unexpected surprise occurred a few weeks after the show...Sundance Vacations began calling me. F. M. Kirby Center apparently gave them my information without consent. Three calls from them later, and one prior to 9AM, I finally got off their list.

TERRIBLE place to see rock shows. I'm not 95yo I want to stand, clap, cheer...not sit silently during a show like I'm catatonic. The Opera house in Wilkes Barre was absolutely beautiful with friendly staff and reasonable prices. It sucked that everyone HAD to sit the whole time. Not a very good rock vibe at all just sitting watching. Every time anyone stood up to get a drink or go to the bathroom it ruined your view because we were made to sit. Devour the day was great. Sleep Theory was absolutely AMAZING! They were the real stars of the show. The crowd went absolutely amazing for them! The sound and vocals were just as good as on the radio and YouTube. Daughtry was just okay. So many people got up and left when Sleep Theory went off stage. More people got up and left waiting for Daughtry to set up and take stage. After the 2nd Daughtry song even more people left obstructing our view of the stage even more because we were seated like we were watching a band in a retirement home. We left after 4 songs because our view was so obstructed by so many other people leaving. We gave up. I'd go back yo watch an opera or a play, but NEVER for a rock show again.
