    Couldn't add a picture because I absolutely devoured the food per usual ordering from here. Chef Von & Mom & their crew are the best and most kind people not only that but their menu is amazing and always leaves me speechless!! The Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger is out of this world and they will never lose my business.

    I got takeout from here after hearing that Chef Von was on Next Level!! The food definitely lives up to the hype. Unfortunately, they don't have consistent hours and there was a long wait for food. But we planned ahead and ordered right when they opened to pick up near dinner time because we did our research. On Facebook, they post when they will open (whether it's 4:30pm or 5pm or something), along with the menu for that day. It looked like generally it stays the same with some tweaks or includes a new special (when I went they had chicken and waffles that day). I called a few times around opening time but the lines were busy. Luckily, it only took a couple tries to get through and we were able to place our order. The worker said it would take around an hour and a half, so I suggested that we could pick it up in around 2 hours if that would help them. The inside decor isn't mind blowingly beautiful but there are plenty of chairs and tables like food court seating. We had a big order and they prepared it accurately and timely (thanks so much!). I got a single LA burger and it was so delicious. The avocado was fresh and candied bacon was so yummy. It was a huge burger, and the fries were not soggy. Everything was also reasonably priced and not over expensive. Burger were under $20 and for those with fries, you could upgrade to garlic parm fries for an additional $3, which were delicious and I'd recommend trying one.

    For me, this was a Friday night where I wanted something to fill my belly but keep it easy on the gut. A friend noted that his sister from Florida talked about this little spot in Scranton that is owned by a local celebrity. I checked out the yelp menu, nothing screamed unique. Boy was I wrong. Id argue this is a pivotal local gem of an establishment. I will admit that my food came out a little late. However, on a Friday evening I was chatting it up with my friends in the casual style dining room. Mom and the other patrons were good company and just about everyone in the were loyal customers. The food scratches that itch that you crave when you want something substantial and flavorful yet homey and high-quality. The fries had a nice crisp on them and a fluffy interior. Perfect salt and a nice greasiness that sets it apart from the typical diner fry. The chicken Caesar wrap was a light-fare purchase compared to some of the other items. The wrap was pleasantly toasted which added a nice crisp to the bite. The Caesar dressing maintained a distinct heaviness specific to this Caesar variant. I noted a distinct grated parm texture that added that cheesy richness to every bite. The Romain lettuce added that herbal yet crunchy variation and each bite had a healthy amount of chicken with no weird bites. Very high quality wrap. I had a bit of the rodeo burger which was phenomenal as well. Certainly, heavier than the chicken Caesar wrap but certainly as high in quality. I've never been a huge onion ring guy but I can testify that the pillowy texture added some significant variation to this sandwich against the thick-cut dissolve-in-your-yet-snap-at-the-bite bacon. The burger seemed to be smashed with those high-flavor toasted bits. A layer of toasted cheese maximized the flavor profile. Side-note: I found that this burger did not leave a weird metallic taste in my mouth. Not sure if that's just me but I thought I would note it here. Another friend got the pulled pork sandwich and I thought I should share. Did not consume much though. I tried some of the pork. The coleslaw is delicious.

    Very creative menu options! Loved the pierogi buffalo chicken and cheesesteak! Looking forward to next visit.

    Chicken Caesar wrap

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant since watching Next Level Chef! So glad I got to stop in today while driving through Scranton. Food is great, service is even better! Definitely a must try in the area. I imagine it would be great for catering events!

    Peanut Butter Bacon Burger w/ fries

    My Girlfriend and I were in town for one day, and we were recommended this spot. If i can rate this 10 stars i would! Food was immaculate, and i really like how they rotate their menu. If I am ever back in town, this is the first place im stopping!

    In historical downtown Scranton !!!! We arrived on a Friday evening about 6:00 o clock! If you can call in your order. They have two separate phone lines . Due to the popularity of next level chef they are slammed. It is a mom and pop shop and family ran. The wait was 2 hours for takeout . Since we traveled from Ohio we ordered and began to sight see in the iconic downtown. Service was polite. Locals were kind and made menu recommendations. I wanted a buffalo wrap but that was sold out. My husband ordered von's smash burger. It was 10/10 . Delicious and flavorful. I ordered the wings 3/10. Fries were well seasoned with lemon pepper and tasted like light fry seasoning/seasoning salt . I did not enjoy them. Nothing spectacular simply wings. Sauce was nice it was the chicken I didn't like . Chicken was unbreaded so sauce didn't really adhere like I would've wanted. They were generous with the sauce. I would describe the hot garlic sauce as sweet and savory . Smash burger was $17. Got an order of fries $6. Wings $15 for ten. Overall 2 out of the 3 things we ordered were a hit!!! So happy to support this local gem! Would recommend with proper planning.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap (asked for no Ranch)

    This place is a five star restaurant, BUT twice they have made our order incorrectly. Before I get to my gripes, I will talk about the general vibe and food of this place. Five freakin' STAR. This place has it GOING ON. The staff are very friendly, the food is to die for, and the price tag is justified with the way they FILL UP YOUR PLATE!!! The wait times can be long on a busy night, but they will always get the job done and deliver a meal you won't regret ordering. I can guarantee that people drive off the highway to get some of this before reaching their destination!!! A major-city level restaurant in the booming city that is Scranton, Pennsylvania. New York City's got nothing on this place. So why three stars? I notched a star for the times they have not paid attention to detail on my orders. On two separate occasions, I have asked for no ranch on my products, and both times I have received ranch in my items. Me? I'll eat anything this place makes. My best friend however is selective when it comes to his food, especially his sauces, so he prefers to go light in the sauce game. The first time we ordered from here and received ranch after requesting no ranch, we chalked it up under an honest mistake. The place is BUSY, and definitely slammed with orders so it's okay! The second time however (last night actually), I made a hard emphasis on no ranch. I ordered two items: the chicken bacon ranch wrap and the buffalo pierogies (which comes with ranch). When I ordered, I asked for a "chicken bacon wrap, no ranch" and "buffalo pierogies with NO ranch". I even made a light hearted joke emphasizing to the person over the phone that my buddy would kill me if I got ranch when he asked for no ranch! We both laugh and the order is in. An hour and change later, we pick up our order, go home & open our food and the pierogies are SOAKED in ranch. It was almost disrespectful. I felt so bad for my buddy, and he ended up giving me the majority of his highly anticipated pierogies. His wrap also had ranch in it! The pierogies were delicious, but that's not the point. For a restaurant that boasts having a "Next-Level Chef", they sometimes lack in the attention to detail department- something that occurs too frequently to look the other way. Other than these two recent incidents, this place would have a 5* rating from me (and might in the future!) I highly recommend this place to anyone unfamiliar to the area, and definitely worth stopping your road trip to get if you have time. Try your best to emphasize what you don't want, but cut them some slack one or twice- they do get hammered but the food is delicious.

    It's always fun to dress up with the family and go out for a nice dinner. We always passed AV and…read morewanted to finally give it a try! It's a beautiful place, nice lounge area, classy bar (pls remember you're still at a nice place, cough cough backward hat guy...). We sat down at our candle lit table and got complimentary water and our waitress sent over some bread and olive oil... the waitress with the bread, well wasn't the most social person. She gave us each a big piece of bread and some olive oil. We did request black pepper in the oil which I suggest. The bread was also cold which was strange. 6/10 For appetizers we got beef carpaccio and calamari. The beef carpaccio came out with a oniony creamy dip, arugula, onion, capers, and dill in the middle on top of the thin meat. Strangely it came with like 4 house made salt and vinegar potato chips. I honestly liked it so much and wanted more and I got it for dessert... 8.8/10. The calamari was perfectly cooked, not chewy at all, and also came with tentacles (my favorite). There was a yummy aïoli with a tang and some peppers. Just wish there was more... 7.9/10 For our entrees we got two filets, medium rare, one with Gorgonzola sauce and one with no sauce (the sauce comes on the side). We also got two bucatini dishes, one with and one without meat. The filets were perfectly cooked, usually every restaurant either overcooks or undercooks my steak but AV did it right. The Gorgonzola sauce was a rich cheesy sauce. The mashed potatoes were creamy and felt homemade. The carrots were alright, just sliced and cooked same with the green beans. 7.6/10 The bucatini was actually really good! So creamy and delicious, with a little spice. They both came with burrata (love), and the meat one came with a little amount of sausage pieces nothing recognizable. The spice wasn't unenjoyable and was tolerable to someone who can't handle spice. 8.6/10 Time for dessert, we got crème brûlée, the apple cake, and the sweet tart brown sugar lemon dessert. And some beef carpaccio because I wasn't feelin dessert. Crème brûlée, the top was perfectly crystallized. The inside was room temp, not cooled and not warm. 7.6/10 Apple cake, the cake came with a big ice cream scoop on top. Inside there was Apple slices like a pie. The cake was bread like and a good balance of the sweet ice cream and apple innards. 6.8/10 Sweet lemon brown sugar tart, this wasn't a favorite of the table but I didn't mind it. It was a cup like tart, with mouse or a cream in it. 5.7/10. Overall experience was pretty good, nothing bad stood out except for the cold bread and non social waitress interaction. The food was great, atmosphere was wow, and the outside was a beautiful walk to the car. The parking is a fend for yourself and there is a sign on the door to not use the private lot across the street. Overall experience....... 8.1/10 No pictures this time, was really hungry.

    I consider myself a fan of AV. I have only eaten twice, first I had chicken parm and second time I…read morehad some kind of whitefish, I wish I could remember.

They specialize in farm to table and healthy food. Our plans before were running long but luckily their reservation policies were flexible enough that I had no problem moving my time, even on such a busy day. The restaurant was POPPING when we arrived around 4:30. We were seated promptly. The only downside to our experience was that the table was SUPER shaky and wobbly. We asked our waitress for a shim or piece of paper to steady the table but she informed us it was the table head itself, not the legs, so nothing could be done. I was not thrilled about this but assumed that these were tables they hauled out of storage to accommodate the holiday demand, so I can understand. Our server was very warm and friendly despite the chaos. Prices are on the high side but the quality is good and the portions are large. I went for the lobster cobb which was a special and it was LOADED with lobster meat. They really heaped it on. A little light on the avocado, but overall it was really wonderful. My mother went for a seafood scallop risotto which I also tried. It was creamy and flavorful. Our food came out in a reasonable timeframe, and our server was good about getting our check. One thing I really liked was that they put which dishes on the menu are over 500 calories, and most were under. A lovely, healthy dining choice with a nice ambiance. I'd return!
