Very cozy meal at the Tavern with the kiddos. So many smiles during dinner, brought on by great service and delicious food. We did a few apps to share: tempura shrimp with a pickled slaw, spring rolls and a cup of chili and French onion soup. The younger kids thought their menu had some great options and the rest of us were all over the map: grilled chicken salad, chilled soba noodles and a pub burger with sweet potato waffle fries. Their menu changes often to reflect the seasonality of ingredients, and I didn't snap a pic of their most recent menu, so food descriptions are generalized. We had a very relaxing time by the fire, and it was a perfect low-key evening to break up a busy holiday weekend. read more

Great view with good food and good drinks. Would have been a 5 but the fried pickles were just ok and the service was on the slow side and our waitress wasn't very personable. I would definitely go back to give it another shot because of the rest of the food, drinks, and atmosphere. read more

Found a big bug in the salad and told the waitress and she walked away, didn't ask if we wanted it replaced or anything. Got two of the same steak was supposed to be medium they were both well done. Also found a hair in the burger. The manager comped the salad after we asked them to, but the waitress was super unapologetic. Very disappointed and it really ruined the experience. read more

We came up here for a nice dinner drove an hour , and sad to say I think it's really going down hill (or maybe has been ?) . The WORST bar service we've ever had ... which I'm still confused about . Trying to get their attention for drinks was impossible - and the bar was half empty ..... but we did get to hear about all their drama and everything they were out of rather then them waiting on customers at the bar ? We remained kind but won't be returning. A gentleman also returned his food to the kitchen which had us questioning if we even wanted to order . When we did she never returned to ask how anything was ... shame it is a beautiful place but not staffed with people who actually care ... or well versed in customer service read more

Stopped in for drinks and small bites. My orange cocktail was good but was supposed to be made with blood oranges and I just got regular orange garnish. My husband's drink of Black Russian was very good. We both got one of the specials. I got eggplant rolotini, which was good and plentiful with 4 pieces. I just wish the garlic bread that I got on the side would've been warm. My husband got the stuffed artichoke and while it looked great, and nice sized, it should have been cooked longer so it would've been softer. The service was good. Wait staff was very pleasant. The place was fine- the bar, where we sat, was kept clean and clear of dirty dishes (we had a disgusting issue with this twice a year ago and hadn't been back bc of this). As it was Friday night, a musician was just coming in as we left. That's always a nice touch there. I think we'll go again. read more

Came here for the third time now, as this is turning into our Pocono-go-to whenever we're in the area. The food is good, standard American cuisine. The staff is always very friendly. In the summer you can sit outside by the lake which is a very nice view and relaxed ambiance. This time I ate the ribs which were amazing, fell right off the bone. read more

We love the patio seating and this is our favorite restaurant in the lake harmony big boulder area. The waitstaff is friendly and so far we have been here on a weekday for lunch and a weekend for dinner. On the Monday, there's not much of a rush so the ducks were walking around like they owned the place. We had a duck who kept visiting our table and decided to poop right next to us so I had to eat next to poo. It didn't smell thank god. Saturday evening we came by at 645pm and luckily most of the empty seats were for parties of 2 so we did not have to wait. There was live music and maybe because there were more people, the ducks didn't walk around. They stayed by the sand area or flew into the lake. The one annoying thing were the bees that kept freaking me out. I was recently stung by a wasp so the bees were scaring me. I will bring one of those bug fans to hopefully keep them away from me. The clam chowder, wings and Caesar salad was good. Our main dishes were the burger and the steak fajitas +salmon. We will continue to order the same dishes every time we come. We love the lake view and the ducks. My toddler enjoys the sand and stomping her feet in the lake. That's her reward for eating her meal and she loves it here! read more

Vacation town dinner spot. Should be used to accommodating large parties, right? Most parties in the dining room were 8+ people, including my table of 14. The do not allow you to split checks per person (fair), so we split ours the max of four ways in groups. Our server did not tell us this at the beginning, and also did not track what each seat ordered, assuming we would all pay on one check. She had to go through at the end and mark who all ordered what. I totally understand how flustering this is as a server, but this place is used to large parties and could have anticipated that a group of 14 girls in their 20s would not want to all pay together. The food was ok. Vacation spot pricing. Docking a couple stars because the food is not necessarily up to par with the pricing. I had the band bang shrimp, which was very good, but I wish they had tossed the shrimp in the sauce instead of the dipping on the side situation. For my entree, I ordered the tuscan shrimp orzo. It was good, I think a different pasta shape would have carried the flavor better. I'd recommend them going with an angel hair and lemonier sauce. I never do this, but had to sprinkle a little salt from the table onto my dish. I'm not really a burger person, but that's what the majority orders here. The view is great and we got to watch a beautiful sunset. Service from the bar was quite slow. My buddy ordered a dirty martini and they brought out a fairly clear drink with a lemon garnish. Is this a northeastern martini recipe I'm not privy to? I believe this is one of the only options in town. It's not a bad one. I would be very curious to explore around here during ski season! read more

Family and I stopped here for lunch before driving home to Philly. We ate outside on the patio. It was a little slippery from an earlier rain. The view of the water is beautiful! My chicken wrap was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Lovely lake views and friendly service. The food is pretty good too and decent cocktails. Lovely atmosphere. Plenty of parking in their lot. We had tacos as appetizers and they were very good. I wish I had ordered more for my entree. They still had their Oktoberfest menu items as options when we were there so I ordered a sausages sampler to have their bratwurst and knockwurst. They were good, not great. The mashed potatoes were very good. My boyfriend had the Jaegerschnitzel and it was tasty. Thin and crispy on the outside, just how you want it. Next time I will order more off the regular menu. read more

Had the absolute worst meal yesterday (during Memorial Day weekend). My son's sandwich was frozen, my roll on my burger was so stale I didn't eat it. The nachos were so bad we didn't touch them. We told our waitress and she barely responded and didn't do anything about any of it. We do not ever complain but our experience was horrendous. The scenery is beautiful and the bar is cool, if you visit skip the food and get yourself an over priced drink and enjoy the view. Hopefully they figure it out bc it could be a great spot. read more

Good service great view, but they changed the menu. Now they are no different than any other restaurant. Might as well go anywhere else. They did away with the smoker so all those distinctive dishes are gone. We used to dine here about once a week but now no. They even changed the French fries. Those used to be great now just average. Did away with the sweet potato fries. We were so disappointed read more

Our recent visit to Boulder View Tavern left a lot to be desired -- especially when it came to service. Right from the start, things were off. Three people in our party ordered the *exact same drink*, yet somehow all received different ones. When we brought it to the staff's attention, we were told they couldn't take the incorrect drinks off the bill but could offer replacements. Not only is that a frustrating policy, but to make matters worse, we were still charged for the original, incorrect drinks AND charged for the new drinks that were also inadequate. The service overall was consistently poor. Our waitress was barely present, and it felt like we were constantly searching for someone -- anyone -- to help us. Even trying to track down a manager was an ordeal. As for the food, it was below average and definitely not worth the price point. The menu reads like you're in for a decent meal, but what shows up is uninspired at best. You get very measly portions for the price you pay. We were hoping for a nice night out, but between the drink debacle, inattentive service, and subpar food, we left disappointed. There are too many great places around to spend your money -- unfortunately, Boulder View Tavern just isn't one of them. read more

Had a great time at the bar! The host and bartender were super friendly. The piña colada shrimp kabobs were tasty, and the chicken wrap (without bacon) with honey mustard hit the spot, though the house chips were a bit overdone. The back patio opens to another outdoor bar for warmer months, and we even watched someone launch a pontoon boat--pretty cool! The lake view is stunning and not something you see every day. Worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Boulder View Tavern is an excellent bar offering Great Lake front views. This is a great spot especially in the summer to grab dinner and a drink as they have a large patio. The food was great as well the Brussels topped with bacon and balsamic glaze, the pretzel with pub cheese, French onion soup, and the short rib grilled cheese. The food was really delicious and a great value too. Service was friendly, great, and really accommodating to us a big recommend from me. read more

We got done paintballin' and were starving. So I ran over to Yelp and saw this place. Outdoor seating was my only prerequisite. Boy did this place have it. Ducks and all. A lot of angry duck noises and bird poop on the deck. That is where everything that's good about this place stops. Start the clock. 3:50 we arrive. We're seated pretty quickly. Then the hostess tells us her shift should've ended already. It's shift change over time. We sit for a while. Which was fine except that I really needed water. Finally our server comes over and takes our order. We get 3 different beers and an unsweetened ice tea. The server also took our order just to get things started. One of us ordered a Caprese salad and was asked if they wanted bacon and avocado on that. Which we would later learn was a significant upcharge. Has anyone ever asked you how you wanted your burger by saying Pink or no pink? They told us those are the only options because they don't have a way to check the temperature of the burger. We sit for a while and then comes the two $8 tea cups of lobster bisque we ordered. Still no water or drinks. So I'm like whatever at least it's kinda liquidy. This was pretty much melted creamy butter. I don't know if there was lobster in it. We sit for a while and then here come the drinks! 3 waters for a table of four. I got a sweetened iced tea after asking for unsweetened. I honestly didn't mind though. It was good. Then she mixed up the beers and when corrected said "oh I do that all the time." But one was yellow and one was brown so I should think it was hard to tell apart. I guess also, if you order tea, you forfeit water? We sit for a while. The food comes. Each sandwich came with the smallest amount of fries I've seen given. I tried ordering another side of fries and it just never came. It wasn't on the bill though so whatever. The Caprese salad somehow morphed into a Caprese chicken sandwich, which I don't recall even seeing on the menu. The sandwich also appeared to be devoid of cheese but had the avocado and bacon that was promised. Overall he said the sandwich "didn't taste like much." I got the Ahi Tuna wrap. It wasn't good. It was sopping with some spicy sesame sauce that made it impossible to taste any of the ingredients. Also very spicy so I needed another water. So I asked. We sat for a while. Finally the check and another water came. We considered just leaving the card and having it mailed back. I don't know what was going on here but the service wasn't good. Arrived 3:50 - left 5:20. A good portion of that time was sort without any drinks. That should be the easy part right? If I ever came here again it would be to sit at the outside bar and purchase some drinks. As a restaurant it's expensive and the food kinda sucks. read more

The restaurant welcomed our party of 12 to celebrate a bachelor party. The restaurant was fluent with communication and coordination. Drinks were decent and food was hit or miss.

YELP brought me here on a Sat. Rainy Night . It was busy, the parking was a little tough but managed. Hosting was a little disorganized but managed to get a nice high stool table at the bar. Excellent view of the lake. Too bad due to the rain. Server was very nice and friendly. She was real cool. They had a Live band that does cover songs. The Smash Burger was on point. Go with Pink! The cauliflower bites were good. Good sauce The "Twiskey" is an amazing drink that starts off like a old fashioned and ends up tasting like a mojito ...never had anything like it. read more

We were over in Jim Thorpe and had no idea on a Sunday night it'd be impossible to eat without reservations lol. I had this saved on my yelp and called up being told to hurry on over :P So we hurried and of course as I was nice holding the door open for people, they stole a table we could've gotten. But the woman working there jumped right into helping and got us another table which was awesome. People who work here deserve major props. That woman saved our night, the host? Food was also one of our best meals while on vacation over here. The lemonade omg so good. This was the perfect last dinner on our vacation. Nice looking place too. Plus wifi! I wish we had stayed here by the fireplace because we had no idea going back to our rental, which had no power! read more

I was happy to find a nice-looking restaurant less than 10 mins from our AirBnB and they handled our group of 9 superbly on a Friday evening even though it was quite busy. They took our orders quick, got everything out in a timely manner and our server was super friendly. He even took us outside afterwards to grab a photo of all of us. The ambiance was great. The lake view is very, very nice from inside. They had a fire going on the fireplace and the other side of the restaurant has a nice surrounded bar area. An acoustic guitarist was playing some decent music too! Every single person really enjoyed their food. It was nothing amazing, but it was still good. Only minor downside is the food is pricy, but hey, it's a tourist area and there are few options and they know it, so it just literally comes with the territory. All-in-all would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

They opened a new patio area right on the lake. Very pretty with a great bar. The service is great! The ladies tag teamed and both introduced themselves. No confusion as to who was going to help you! We only had drinks and appetizers. We had crab dip which was hot and delicious! They only have boneless wings and they aren't close to wings. They were a disappointment. So come for the view, drinks and great service!! read more

This place was just meh. While they advertise that you can be seated on the water, they didn't have it available which is a bummer but not the worst thing. Problem is, the atmosphere on the inside was also disappointing. Place was clean and the wait staff was great. The drinks and food left much to be desired. I ordered mussels and half rack ribs. The ribs were decent but the fries were not. And most of the mussels were undercooked. I will say, I enjoyed my cocktail. Overall, I wouldn't call this place fine dining, I would say it's a place to dine that's just fine. read more

The restaurant is overlooking Boulder Lake. We were able to score a table close to the lake. Our server, Danielle, was quite friendly. The meal consisted of a hamburger with fries and half a rack of ribs. Both dishes were excellent. They had a dessert tat was new to us - crepe cake. The cake was made by layering about 8 crepes on top of each other with a thin layer of strawberry whipped cream between them on top of a sponge cake. We never felt rushed which allowed us to watch the pontoon boats coming in and out of the dock in front of the restaurant. read more

Our server was okay and the food was very good. This place has 0 emphasis on customer service though. A group of 10 adults were separated by 2 round tables, while a table of 3 adults and a child, 6 adults, and another 6 adults were seated at tables sufficient for our party. The hostess seemed lost and no manager was present. We were also the first table here of the 4 groups and the last one to leave. Drinks took a solid 15 minutes to get and they wasted 0 time putting a 20% service charge on our bill. Will not be coming back. Correction, moving from 2 stars to 1 star. After having a dinner full of mediocre service, we went to the bar for a drink and we could not have felt like more of an inconvenience to the bartender. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

Our first visit to BVT, showing up without a reservation, early on a Tuesday evening. You might think we'd walk right in, but, no, most other dinner places in the area were closed, so we encountered quite a crowd. Note to self: make reservation next time. As it turned out, our wait for a table was only 35 minutes or so, and we got a few drinks from the bar in the meantime (just don't take them past the fence onto the "beach"). No problem. Provided some time to enjoy the nice view of the lake. There is also a boulder on the property, but I take it that Boulder View is a reference to the Big Boulder Lake. Once seated (tables are outdoors), our waitperson, Jeffrey, quickly showed up, and he really hustled. His attention to us throughout was excellent. We started out with some drink orders (I think their wine list is really weak, but no matter - they have a very respectable beer list): Barley Citra Double IPA and Broken Heels IPA (draft). The Kids Pasta, as a side order, was huge; Beyond Chicken Sandwich was a nice option for vegetarians; the Tri-Blend Burger, with bacon, cheddar, and a side of slaw, and the Fish & Chips got a bravos; and everyone agreed that the French fries were awesome. They pay good attention to gluten-free items/menu labels, plus the vegetarian choices are not just the usual perfunctory pasta or veggie burger. read more

Came here on our end of season Poconos ski trip. Sat at the bar because there were no reservations left, but still had a nice view of the lake. Live music on satisfaction night so great ambience all around! On food, the blizzard burger was the bomb! Gigantic, juicy, cooked to perfection with cheese, candied bacon and more. A pound of beef so best to share it! Everything else was fine and pretty good--Cobb salad, ribs, dip. But I'd say get that burger! read more

Well, if you're in your 60s and 70s, trust me, you do not want to go to the Boulder view Tavern. The music is horrible that even the millennials say they will not go there to hear that lousy lousy lousy music and music also makes it atmosphere of a restaurant no matter how good your food is if people do not like the sound they are hearing they will not sit there and eat and I do not recommend going there unless you're about 2530 or maybe 40 maybe 40 years old and you might enjoy yourself. Their food is good but you can get food just as good anywhere else in the Poconos I highly recommend if you don't like today's music do not go to the Boulder view Tavern when I go out, I like the full spectrum of being out the music, the food and the atmosphere and they don't have it sorry Boulderville, read more

Sorry to do this, Boulderview is a beautiful bar with stunning views but the for is bad. We had the cauliflower bites which were undercooked, spinach dip was ok.

This is one of the better family friendly restaurants we visited while in the Poconos. We sat outside and were very happy with the ambiance of the patio. It's a mostly gated in patio next to a beautiful lake and the kids enjoyed the ample space. The food was all pretty good. We ordered the gazpacho, bisque, steak tacos, fried cauliflower, cauliflower steak, fries, and kids meals. We also got a few cocktails and beers, and were surprised that the martinis were *actual* martinis. We were generally happy with everything we ordered and would visit again. read more
