Spring rolls
Matt I.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Eggplant rolotini with garlic bread
Judy S.

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.

Bug found dead inside a wedge of the lettuce- not from outside like the waitress implied.

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.

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.

Supposed to be two berry mojitos, too bad they forgot the liquor.

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.

Patio

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!

Brussels sprouts
David M.

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.

Hawaii cheeseburger, very salty!

Their flavor combinations are bright and tasty, and the view matches the vibe. I remember leaving…read morethis meal thinking how delicious and packed with flavor each item we ordered was. I think that was the second place we've had corn ribs and I'm here for the trend, they're so good. I guess they had just recently updated their menu (we visited back in May), not sure if they do that seasonally but they hit on all their new additions. I was firmly full when my fiance offered me the last few bites of her Greek salad, which was lights out. The smashburger (add garlic parm fries) was exactly what you'd expect and the feta dip was simple and satisfying.

The outside of the restaurant overlooks a really gorgeous lake so you have the opportunity to sit out on a deck, which is very, very nice. Depending on the time of year you can have just a really nice calming meal. On the inside the atmosphere is cool. There are a lot of TVs to watch sports and the menu's pretty good too. There was quite a selection, everything from burgers and sandwiches to salads and even pizza. In general everyone enjoyed and it was pretty packed when we got there on a Thursday evening. That's always nice to see that a lot of people are going there to sit down and enjoy meals together during the week so we really enjoyed it and you may as well too.

Tavern on The Trail in WhiteHaven Pa across from the market is a worthy stop. They have really…read morestepped up the game a bit. This establishment was formerly Capone's , a name it went by for a long time.Before that, It's history as a spirits pub goes back many years . Right when you go inside the bar, will tell you you're in an old old establishment. You don't see this type of bar-back construction anymore. And it's original. Fast fwd to today. It is very revitalized with new owners recently taking over the reins of the place late in 2020. This non- smoking establishment has a good sized back room with tables as well as tables and a high top in the main bar area. They can seat 10-20 if you let them know ahead of time. The crowd pressure is both local flavor and transient, especially in the outdoor recreation warm months. The fact it sits right on the D&L Trail is also a nice point. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Most of the time they go out of their way to make sure you're served and conversed with, if your into that. The menu has grown and evolved also. The food has great flavor and is a decent sized plate. The cooking here seems exceptional for a local tavern. There are specials running almost every night. Taco Tuesdays and other special food offerings are also to be had. The Wings are big and meaty; the sauce is generous and the best I've had in the area. And that exceptional meal on Sundays that runs as a special "Grandma's SUNDAY Dinners". The Burgers are as big as trampolines and tasty. The customer area is a welcoming atmosphere with some games and great music machine. Karaoke or Triva Mondays, Live music most every Saturday night now. A Great outdoor area with tables and umbrellas sitting right there off the trail in Main Street Whitehaven in the warm months. If your sightseeing this is great lunch stop, if you're on the River or trekking the D&L Trail around White Haven it's right here. This is definitely worth the stop! If you're into the "hometown Americana" experiences in your travels this one rates a stop
