    Short rib fettuccine and cast iron Brussels sprouts with molasses, walnuts and feta
    Christina H.

    Backwoods is an oasis in a food desert. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, the service is always friendly and the food is a welcome break from the tired old pizza and wings on every menu in NEPA. Their smoker is heavily featured so expect a unique barbecue approach to meats. Their seasonal menu always features a fun weekly special that makes good use of fresh ingredients sourced from local farms and vendors. Don't sleep on the decadent pies made in-house by their best server, Annie!

    Nice location, and they have outdoor seating and live music on Saturdays, which is when we went. Our food came really late and the food was just mediocre.

    Boneless fried chicken, ate every bite! The bacon syrup was too notch!

    After a nice day of the hubby golfing and having the house to myself, I can meet him here for dinner. The appetizers are fantastic, I regret sharing the smoked wings and wish we ordered more! The fried pickles and deviled eggs will most likely always be ordered every time we go. The ran out of ribs so we did not get to try that but the fried chicken and steak were huge winners! The steak was so tender and fried chicken super crispy and flavorful for being boneless. Can't wait to come back and try the ribs.

    Hole in the wall. LITERALLY.

    Great BBQ prices are fair, brisket is fantastic and so are the fries. Service was fast. Overall a good lunch! I'll be back.

    Delicious! We went there on a prime rib night! We saved the left overs for steak and eggs the next day.

    Great environment! The bad part is I waited 45 min for drinks 30 min for apps and an hour and 10 min for the actual dinner.

    We just discovered this place a few visits ago, the best ribs and pot roast anywhere around, the ownership is present and staff are fantastic.

    Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

    Beautiful Place. Not sure why it has no rating on Yelp. Its must see if your at Skytop! Great…read moredrinks and light fare. Beautiful and relaxing lounge style room. Fireplaces and cozy sitting areas. What more could you ask for?
