    Smokers at Backyard Ale House

    The smokers outside drew me in, anticipating really good food. I got the pork platter. Meat was good...what little there was bc it was a lot of fat in the $15 portion I selected. They nickel & dime you, too, with overpriced items. $3 for cornbread, but it was only a tiny 4"x4" slice for that amount. The waitress asked me what kind of sauce I'd like with my $6 side order of fries, then charged me $1 for a small, half-filled plastic condiment cup of BBQ sauce. BUYER BEWARE: My buddy noticed on our bills that if you pay with a credit card, they charge you an extra 3% on each item you ordered. My friend walked over to the ATM to get cash. It just reinforced the stingy pricing. Service was good, waitress was friendly, glad they had a GF hamburger bun for my kid (for a price)...but ownership needs to reconsider how they charge for things. BRING CASH if you choose to go here.

    Typical bar food, lots of seating - they have the initial bar and then an additional back room where we had to move to during a dumpster fire that happened right in front of their restaurant. (weird story). Anyway, decent beer list, great servers! We enjoyed different appetizers and sandwiches. Good option if you're passing through town.

    The only restaurant where I get Delicious Smoked Chicken Wings. I don't know any other place that has this. It's a unique flavor and taste, it has a HUGE selection of beers as well, is like 4 pages on the beer menu..lolol a lifetime to taste them all..jaja! There is a backyard section for drinking eating, my favorite. Customer service is excellent. All the food items I tasted were great, too many to list one by one. Best eating experience. Oh yeah, and a wide variety of sauces and dips. Try them all, like I did. Jaja! This restaurant is located in front of the main parks, the center of Scranton. It is an absolute must do.

    I enjoy going to the BYA when I'm in Scranton. Nice selection of micros on tap. I prefer eating in the backyard, but a little tough to do in the winter. The bar area is a classic pub with dark wood, plenty of room at the bar with lots of table seating. Parking is on street. Service was good. I had 2 awesome IPAs and the BBQ sampler with a side of mac n cheese. I love their Mac. One of my favorites. My BBQ Sampler choice was pork, ribs and brisket. It was a huge portion. I wasn't overly excited with either the brisket or the ribs. In my opinion there was way too much much dry rub. Pork was awesome and so was the cornbread.

    Cool place to visit. Outdoor seating with a full wrap around bar. No kids after the kitchen closes. Which is a plus

    Great beer selection. Outdoor seating. Food is delcious. When outdoor seating isn't available the inside can get cramped on busy nights.
