Don't let the location in an old strip mall or inside decor (or lack of it) or tattered diner chairs fool you, this place is legit! Friendly and quick service and the food is phenomenal. The perfect example of what diner food should be--authentic, nostalgic, and great flavor! I had the eggs Benedict with sausage and gravy and I couldn't get enough. It was fantastic. My hubs had the scrapple sandwich and loved it. My nephew had chicken fingers with fries and their sidewinder fries are so unique. We loved stopping here on our way to Kalahari water park and loved it so much we wanted to stop by on our way home--but alas, they were closed. Highly recommend the Yelp reviews are spot on! read more

Pretty darn tasty breakfast in The Poconos at this super no frills, down-home, small town, friendly spot. There was about a 10 minute wait at prime brunch time on a Sunday morning which coming from the city was such a welcomed, easy wait. We were shortly seated in an ultra comfy, oversized booth and drink orders were taken immediately by our friendly waitress who had coffee pot ready on hand to pour. We ordered our diner standards- tomatoe juice, cranberry and chocolate milk. We then drooled over the breakfast menu which is filled with about a half a dozen eggs Benny options, over a dozen specialty omelettes of all kinds, unique savory and sweet options such as Belgium waffles, pancakes or French toast stuffed with eggs and meat too. They also have signature "Messy Mike" sammies which contain all of your favorite breakfast items including country fried steak, home fries or steak piled high with other breakfast staples on either a tortilla, toasted kaiser, bagel or ciabatta. My favorite part of the menu however was the dozen or so pancake options! Not only did they come in a variety of tempting flavors, but were offered as a single, short stack or tall stack. I really wish more places did this! This allows you to taste more than one or just order a small portion if you so desire! It's genius! Hubs had the sausage eggs Benny with creamy steak gravy which he really, really enjoyed. I opted for a side of classic oatmeal which I asked to be made with water instead of milk. They obliged without issue and I also asked for a side of cinnamon. The little one gobbled her chocolate chip single pancake in two seconds. It was a perfect pancake!! A tad crisp on the edges and soft, warm and chocolatey on the inside. The big one went for a side bowl of cheesy grits. These side items were HUGE portions for a very minimal cost! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal! As if the prices weren't reasonable enough, we took off the 10% For Yelp check in making our total for this tasty, hearty pre-hike meal, an all around great, tasty adorable one! We would come back for sure! Don't let the strip mall locale fool you! The food is rather good! read more

A very large menu prepared exactly as ordered. The friendly staff makes you feel like family.

What a great gem of a place. Had a bit of a wait but wow it was worth it! Huge portions and pancakes were grilled to perfection. Great coffee, nice staff - totally worth the trip. read more

I don't even know where to start... If you're looking for an awesome place to eat with great people to serve you and delicious down home food,look no further. The coffee is like no other. The Chat N Chew is my new go to diner in the Poconos mountains and once you go it will definitely be yours too! read more

Great food and accommodating service. Very busy but they did a good job of keeping the wait time as short as possible for our large group.

Friendly atmosphere.Food fresh and delicious! Great home town restaurant with real hometown food. Highly recommended'n

This is what I've been searching for in this area! "Diner" quality food. 1st time here & look forward to going back! The servers were all so nice & attentive. They had specials available. Not a lot of places have specials. I got the "Big One" - 2 eggs, meat, toast, home fries & pancakes or French toast. Wow! Everything was flavorful. Coffee was hot - not warm - hot - the way it should be. They made a special accommodation for the French toast - they made it without cinnamon since I'm allergic. The French toast was light and flavorful - didn't need syrup, the powdered sugar was just enough. And they do have real maple syrup for an up charge (most places charge extra which is standard). It was a great breakfast! I finally found a great breakfast place. This is my new go to spot. read more

Definitely a local place to have a really good home cooked meal for breakfast. You would be shocked by the storefront but it really is very nice inside. The staff is very sweet, coffee is delicious food is made fresh. You would not be disappointed read more

"Hi, we're from out of town and can't find your restaurant at the corner of 940 and 115. Where are you?" "Do you know where the liquor store is?" "No, we're from Ohio." "Do you know where the grocery store is?" "No." "Are you at the Gulf station?" "No, but that was a good guess. We're at a dunkin donuts." "Oh you just have to keep going and we'll be on the left." "How do you know which way I'm going? Do I need to go east or west on 940?" "So you know where the fireplace store is?" "No." Despite receiving the most incomplete, awful directions since Columbus discovered America, I could not deduct a star from this review. The food was that good. Coffee-amazing. Chipotle burrito-amazing. Veggie benedict-my death row last meal. I just hope you already know where this place is, or have the patience of a monk. read more

Stumble upon this place today while at the Pocono Raceway looking for a breakfast place. My sons and I had a great breakfast. Two of us had the Belly Buster and my other son had the Messy Burrito both were excellent. Coffee was delicious and the service spot on. Great find for us today. read more

Woke up and decided to try this place. Hun got the Jack Frost Omelette, me i'm simple scramble & stacks. Seems aside from Compton's Pancake House, NO ONE and I mean NO ONE gets the "scrambled soft" concept! It was OK. Hun was happy with his food, (man is a Veteran, spent years in Iraq & Afghanistan so cardboard to him is good) lol. 4 Stars from Hun. 2 from me. Pancakes good, eggs too hard. I did mention "scrambled soft 3x" Asked oth waitress "if cook didn't know what scrambled soft meant?" She responded "I know!" So there you go. I won't return. read more

Yummy! This eatery is great service and even better food! sorry that we just discovered it after being here for over a year!

Awesome place! Stopped by here with a pretty large group and this place was exceedingly accommodating. Even on a busy weekend, they made sure we were all seated together and were served pretty quickly for such a large group. While we understandingly had a bit of a wait (maybe 20-30min or so), they kept us notified of what we were waiting on. Very cute place, humorously tongue-in-cheek decorations ("Spooning leads to forking so use condiments!") and the wait staff were super friendly, helpful and attentive. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be returning! Tip: They except credit card but only one per table. read more

Called ahead of time for a party of 8. They accommodated which was nice. The second we walked in, we were treated extremely poorly, not sure if it's because our whole party doesn't look anything like the regular patrons here but I'm not going to assume that. We sat and ordered drinks, and the young woman kept speaking to us in a tone that I would GROUND my 12 year old daughter for if she ever spoke to an adult like that with. Over and over. I asked to add onions and peppers to my omelette, was rudely informed THATS NOT POSSIBLE, no substitutions. Never in 40 years have I heard of not being to add veggies to an omelet. It's obvious they don't care about the way they treat customers as their shirts all comments like "did I roll my eyes" "if you don't like it, leave" etc. As well as all kinds of signs on the wall. Also, to the waitress: If a customer asks for a chocolate milk, we don't need you to rudely say "ANOTHER ONE??!!" In disgust. FYI; you got the two fat guys confused. The first guy ordered one, then the next fat guy ordered one, so you can sleep easy tonight that these fat guys had only one child size chocolate milk each today. As you can see by owners response, he doesn't care whatsoever how rude these 16 YEAR OLD children has RUNNING his BUSINESS are. Omg, NOOOOOO.. I am so TERRIFIED of the complaint filed... oh noooooooo!!! LMAO Owners threatening patrons over Yelp, classic! Very mature and very indicative of why the CHILDREN running your store are so poorly trained and treat customers so rudely and ignorant. read more

This place is a Diamond in the shopping center. The food is classically delicious and the service is like-wise. If your lucky enough to be strayed near the entrance.

Been coming here for a few years, I applauded the recent expansion, glad to see business is good. Waited 10 minutes for 1st cup of warm coffee and walked out after 40 minutes waiting for eggs over easy and biscuits. Very poor organization, bigger isn't always better. I drove 30 miles looking forward to the biscuits and gravy, might come back in the slow season. Not ready for prime time. read more

We were in the poconos for a cheerleading competition and drove 15 minutes to try this place for breakfast. Delicious and totally worth the drive! I got the egg white omelette with the sauce on it and it was delicious. read more

What a find! I've been coming to the Pocono's with my husband's family for ten years and neither of us have ever been here! We have been missing out. It is a little gem inside the run down shopping center. Brian: Sausage gravy & biscuits with home fries. It was really good. Steph: I had the Dutch omelet, with sausage, sauteed onions and peppers with cheese and rye bread. The rye bread had seeds but I was ok with that. Coffee was good too. That's always a plus. It was the kind of place that felt like everyone would know your name if you came enough. I liked the t-shirts that the waitstaff wore! Also the open kitchen is always nice to see people are cooking your food right out in the open. We would return for sure. I bet lunch would be good too. read more

Great service & food. Waffles are highly recommended. Diviney was exceptional. Awesome

Really good food! Very friendly atmosphere! You get an abundance of food for a low price! Very cute inside as well!

Excellent for breakfast. Good food and healthy portions. Loved reading the sayings on the walls and t-shirts. We'll be back again.

Best breakfast in the Poconos. The food is delicious and everone is so friendly. They make you feel like a local even if you are not from the area. read more

This is a dream restaurant where you can have your breakfast anytime during the day. I actually tried their meat omelette with Swiss cheese. It was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. If this restaurant was in DC, where I come from, they would be billionaires. Special thanks to Donna read more

This is a fun place with really good food. Eggs benedict, short stack with blueberries and bananas mixed into the pancakes, and a cheesesteak were very tasty. Hot chocolate was awesome. The "sidewinder fries" are a fun TWIST on potatoes and were yummy. The signs on the walls are clever. The waitresses were joking with their regulars. There is a 4% surcharge if paying with credit card, which I didn't notice til after I paid, but a lot of restaurants are doing some sort of fee pass-through. We'll probably be back to experience Chat n Chew's food and environment and pay cash - there are more items on their menu we'd like to try. Support this cafe! read more

Best place for breakfast ever! Lots of character! Love it. First time we stopped by just because we have been hungry, running too early to some meeting, so why not? On our way back we stopped by already on purpose. Everything is great at that place: service, food, decorations on the walls, attitude of waiters. Such a Shane that this place is so far from our home! read more

My family and I have moved to the area last year, and we have came to this restaurant several times because of Edna, who works at the register. The first time we went, she approached us and we had a great conversation. Everyone is so friendly here and works with a smile on their face. It's a great environment. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast and lunch! read more

After shopping at the outlet, my family and I were looking for a place to dine in and decided to return to Chat 'n Chew. We came years ago and loved it! Chat 'n Chew was and still is know for their fabulous let ketchup and great sandwiches. I ordered the "Grilled Cheese", my mom got the "Beyond meat burger" with gluten free toast and my dad ordered the "Steak, cheese, mushroom and pepper sandwich." Our food came relatively fast while keeping it's hot and fresh touch to it. The Grilled Cheese was something to die for! It was warm inside and the cheese was melted to perfection. The french fries (substituting for chips, extra) were the perfect texture and didn't lack flavor. The cheese steak was moist and the buns were soft. You could taste each component and the onion rings were good (extra $). Last but not least the beyond meat burger tasted. Ireally similar to a real burger and the gluten free toast was toasted nicely. The service was outstanding and I would definitely return! read more

This rather unassuming restaurant located in a shopping center next to a grocery store was a pleasant surprise. The inside isn't much to look at but the sarcastic signs all over the wall were entertaining. The T-shirt's were amusing as well. We were greeted immediately and sat (thankfully they didn't have a wait at the time). We contemplated what to have for a while, and our server helped with recommendations. My husband ended up ordering a breakfast special from the wall, which if I recall correctly, was called a "triple mess." Something like that. It was a soft pretzel topped with home fries, three fried eggs, bacon, cheddar and jack cheeses, and chopped beef gravy. You can see the shock when the plate arrived. I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap with fries instead of chips. The fries are shaped like none I have seen before - spiral cut but not curly fries, wide, flat, and rippled. They were battered, and some of the best fries we've ever had. The wrap was excellent as well. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. It's close to the racetrack as well (we were there for the stock car racing experience). read more

We have a vaca home in Lake Harmony~Piggy's and Terra Cottage café are literally just down the street. There's something special and iconic about Piggy's , we really like it there However i thinks it's just way overpriced, bkfst for 2 people is typically $40. While looking for another bkfst spot in the area we found Chat & Chew. We Walked in and were very happy with the place and its setup; it is also very clean. The menu has lots of great options and pricing is very reasonable. The food was very tasty!! Pancakes were amazing! Service was great! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area!! read more

Great food if you know you don't wanna be productive for the next 30 minutes. Soo wish I would have brought my buffet pants to allow for ordering and eating more. So delicious but will make you want a nap. read more

Stopped on my way home from a business meeting. I had a wrap which was mediocre. Lookin for diner food, head here?

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot for breakfast - so glad we did! Awesome menu with many, many options (both healthy and gluttonous) and great service! Home fries substitution of delicious veggies (for no upcharge!) was a welcome option to those watching their calories, but the home fries themselves - while they LOOK like the diner norm - were pleasantly delicious, tasting homemade and seasoned well. Great Benedict options (veggie eggs beni was amazing) and lots of omelets and sandwiches to pick from! We're already planning to come back tomorrow before going to the zoo. read more
