    Elis - Angel hair pasta w 2 meatballs

    Wow. The portions are enormous! I started w a side salad…read morewith the house dressing, a must!, served with warm rolls. I ordered the angel hair pasta with two meatballs. When I say that I probably have 5 lb of pasta on my plate, I am not lying or exaggerating. The meatballs takes like a mix of veal or pork and beef - delicious. Meaty but not heavy. The pasta sauce was a little spicy but nothing mouth scorching. Again delicious. My friends got the grilled tilapia and there's probably three very large pieces of tilapia served with a lemon wedge and another side of angel hair pasta, again at least a pound of pasta in the side. They had the French onion soup, a hearty very beefy based soup with a giant slab of cheese on the top. My friends loved it. My other friends had the pork cutlet which was a hammered piece of pork lightly fried, and the size of a dinner plate served with a side of beef gravy, and also a side of angel hair pasta. Portions are ridiculous and I'm from the south I know huge portions. Lol If you come here though don't come in a hurry, as the staff is very busy. I didn't get her name but she was the only one working the floor. Efficient, direct and friendly. If you leave hungry it is your fault. Enjoy!

    So, my neighbors and I randomly selected Babe's Grill House this past Saturday. The ratings…read moreaveraged a 4.7 on Google with around 1260 people rating it. With my job, I eat out quite a bit so it takes a little more to impress me. First, the staff was great! The owner even came around to make sure all was good. Everything is local bought, and top quality produce and meat is selected.The Salmon/Brisket combo that I ordered was beyond good! If you are within an hour drive from Palmyra, you need to try this place. Not really for families with young children, but it would make a wonderful date night. (or apology meal. LOL) I will be going back here for sure. Especially this summer when the outdoor seating is open.

    I've been to Babes many times over the years, but it's been a minute since I've been in Palmyra…read more Based on memories and a dinner experience this time, it's arguably the best restaurant in town. They took one of the classic homes on Main Street and turned it into a restaurant, with lots of outdoor seating on a patio out front, a bar and high top area in the main room to the right, but quieter dining in the back and upstairs. It's bright and clean, but still keeps that old feel. They have a full menu; this visit I was in with a friend and we both opted for steak dinners, which are served with choice of sides and sauce. Prices are reasonable for the area and quality of the food, but definitely higher than a typical meal out in town. They also have a wonderful beer list, with lots of local choices and fresh kegs. Service was great, we had a friendly server who was attentive all evening. I can definitely see why this place is still around and as popular as ever; if you're looking for something a little more special in the area, this is worth the trip.

    Enjoyed our dinner at Blackworth Fire Grill in Lititz, PA located inside the Historic Wilbur…read moreChocolate Factory Est. 1865. The building was turned into a restaurant/steakhouse and is connected to The Wilbur Hotel. When you walk into The Wilbur Hotel from Blackworth Fire Grill, you can smell chocolate from the original chocolate factory wood beams left. The hotel was beautifully decorated. The only thing I recommend to this restaurant is adding more salt on the steaks and more seasoning on the side dishes but other than that, I'd definitely dine at Blackworth Fire Grill again and would stay at the Historic Wilbur Hotel. Reservations are recommended because restaurant gets very busy especially, on the weekends. The Amish Village is about a 20 minute drive from this location. Check out this place when in the area. Happy Yelping :)

Place was hopping, smelled great, staff greeted us as we arrived in 3 groups a few minutes apart. The room we supposed to dine in had patrons who were obviously finished eating but busy chatting. At 8;05 we were taken into the connected Wilbur Hotel & seated in a stale conference room. This was almost a deal breaker & we were ready to leave & go someplace else until Daniel arrived to save the evening. His enthusiasm & quick wit was welcomed & we proceeded to order close to $2000 worth of food & drink. This was a company feed paid for by the boss. Shortly after, drinks arrived & were kept full for the next 2 hours. Some mains arrived before some of the sides & that was not a problem at all because EVERYTHING was excellent! The Curry Coconut soup, charred avocado, sautéed mushrooms, Ethiopian carrots & everything else was perfectly cooked & plated. For whatever ambiance the room lacked & the late seating, it was more than made up for by the quality of ingredients & cooking. The added bonus to seating in a private room was that we were able to banter wildly & behave like the rough & tumble touring road crew veterans that we all were. Daniel really saved the day & I can't wait for the opportunity to eat here again despite the minor setbacks at the start. Not a single bite of food was left on a plate except for steak bones. The cheesecake was especially good being lighter & fluffier than most with a delicate yet complex flavor. All of the staff we encountered were extremely attentive, professional & polite. I believe the name has been changed to KōLE Chophouse as of the weekend I dined there.

    Our anniversary dinner at this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary! It was an experience,…read morenot just a meal! From the moment we made our reservation, the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special, asking if it was a special occasion and greeting us with a personalized note on our table and flutes of champagne upon being seated. The ambience was perfection, cozy yet spacious, with a warm fireplace, perfect lighting, and comfortable seating that made us feel relaxed and pampered. Our server, CJ, was absolutely top-notch, attentive without being intrusive, and added so much to our experience. We were treated to complimentary potato wedges as a taster, and I had the best Moscow Mule I've had in over a year--setting the perfect tone for the evening. We started with the bacon mac and cheese, perfectly savory and indulgent. For our main courses, my husband enjoyed a New York Strip, and I had the crabcake with fries. I also ordered the maple sriracha Brussels sprouts with bacon, which were out of this world. The portion sizes were generous, making it easy to take home leftovers for a second helping the next day. Dessert was the bread pudding with caramel butter topping, a decadent finish that left us completely satisfied, and the dark chocolate sea salt frogs that came with our bill were such a thoughtful, personalized touch; little details like that make memories. As parents of three, nights out are rare, and indulgence like this is even rarer. This was truly a night to remember. Even as a local for 19 years, I'm embarrassed it took us this long to visit, but I can now say with confidence...we will be back. Bravo to the entire kitchen staff and CJ for making our anniversary unforgettable. If you're looking for a restaurant that goes above and beyond, this is it!

    I would say the high reviews are based on the locals that live in the area. I hate to say it but…read morethere isn't a lot of great food choices when visiting the Poconos. As an out of towner who has access to amazing cuisine options in my area this restaurant gets three stars and that's being nice. When you walk in it's like a motel entrance. Literally it has all the tourist pamphlets lining the entrance to the hostess stand which doubles as the front desk of the hotel. It's not welcoming and feels cheap. To get to the restaurant you walk down a narrow long bar area where plenty of locals (I'm assuming) were enjoying happy hour. Loud and unwelcoming imho. We were seated in a two top which is super close to another two top. When I requested a booth in leu of the table (every booth was empty) the hostess said they were all reserved. Noting during our entire dining experience there were empty booths. Felt a little shady. Server was very sweet and great personality but unfortunately was not very fast. Every time she finally came back to the table she was apologizing for taking so long. She had other tables but wasn't in the weeds that we could see (in my youth I worked both as a server and hostess). The homemade bread we were looking forward to wasn't fresh and it was lacking taste as was the dipping oil. Adding salt and pepper helped the oil dip. Even though we were both hungry we didn't eat all the bread. That's a problem. We ordered clams as an appetizer. Again, tasteless needed salt, no flavor otherwise. For dinner, I ordered a seafood trio with Brussel sprouts. My husband ordered a fillet cooked, medium with a baked potato. The crabcake lacked flavor had way too much filling tasted like it came from Cisco. After a second bite, I would not eat anymore. The shrimp was ho hum and the lobster not that great either. My husband's steak was very bland no flavor in the meat even though it was cooked to temperature with a slight char on the outside. Because of the slow service and lack of flavor in the food we just wanted to check and get out of there as quickly as possible. What a bust for over $200.
