    Ambiance is amazing! So much cool stuff to look at and not just "The Office" themed stuff. Staff was very attentive. I had the burger and fries and it was pretty good. The fries were my favorite part. So my much interesting stuff to look at all throughout the place.

    Super big seafood place in Scranton, Pa ordered oysters, soft shell crab taco, and some kind of bang bang shrimp plus clam chowder soup. The soup was great, soft shell crab tacos to much breading but good, bang bang shrimp was fine and the oysters seemed a little old. Three stars because the place is a little unique and super big and plenty of what looks like bars and bar space throughout. Last thing staff was friendly but they gave us someone else check which we did not notice until the next day. Place plays cool music in the rest room it is worth a stop to grab a bite and have some fun.

    I absolutely love this place. I had a Bloody Mary. Love the way it was presented. 5 stars

    Coopers is more than just a restaurant -- it's a local icon. The moment you walk in, the nautical décor and walls filled with old photos and keepsakes tell stories from its 70+ years in the neighborhood. My husband, who was in town for a high school reunion, even spotted two of his grade school photos on display -- such a fun surprise and a trip down memory lane. The food lives up to its reputation for fresh seafood. The Crab Pretzel was warm and loaded with creamy crab and cheese. The Crispy Sesame Brussels Sprouts were a great twist -- perfectly crisp with a sesame glaze that really worked. My husband's Cedar-Planked Salmon was tender and flavorful, and my Seafood Crêpes were rich, creamy, and generously filled with chunks of shrimp, scallops and lobster. Even during a busy dinner rush, the service was friendly and prompt. Coopers has that rare mix of history, good food, and genuine warmth that makes you want to come back again and again. There's even a World map showing where visitors have come from!

    Crab bisque was delicious, as was my daughter's Manhattan Clam Chowder. Side salads were huge and super fresh. Wife had gluten free crab cakes and they even had a pick in them marked as gluten free so there was no confusion - this is an important consideration and she really enjoyed her meal. My crab cake sandwich was crispy and not soggy, and a generous portion, as were the fries and coleslaw that came with it. Daughter had shrimp scampi with gorgeous huge shrimp over linguini in an amazing sauce. Special occasion meal, worth every penny

    Food service & atmosphere. Always feels like an adventure coming here. Anyone coming here will enjoy themselves immensely.

    Cooper's is so iconic! It was a treat on this visit. We came for half price bottles of wine on a Wednesday. THE FOOD -alligator bites are a must have. They are so delicious, almost like a white fish taste and chicken consistency. We loved the remolaude they were served with. I think in the past they've done a buffalo sauce special of them as well which is just as good! And of course you get your gator taster pins -the fries are very well seasoned! We were here for a casual wine lunch (lol) and enjoyed splitting these two apps. THE DRINKS -in the summer on the patio it's always fun to get one of their speciality cocktails (tho many tend to be sugary, so be warned) today we were here for wine! -we chose a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio that came out to maybe $11 after the special? Was great with our gator and fries. -they also had a wide selection of other wines and beer if you're looking for options! THE SERVICE -our server was super sweet and attentive! -she was knowledgeable but when I had a question she didn't know the answer to she made sure to ask the kitchen for me THE ATMOSPHERE -like I said, iconic. You're greeted by a shark, multiple pirates, a huge lighthouse, and an octopus overlooking all of that . -the different themes all around the restaurant and historic things to look at is incredible. You can have a new experience every time you go! As a kid I used to love looking at the little figurine displays inset in the walls and as an adult I still have to walk down the hallway and take a peek at the Flintstones. Overall, I will definitely be back as we really enjoyed our food (and I converted my friend to a gator eater!). I feel like quite a few years back the food seemed like it had gone downhill, but I can say with confidence my last few visits I over the past 4-5 years have definitely been delicious. Way to go, Coopers!

    Who would have thunk a great seafood restaurant in Scranton, PA?! The French onion soup was excellent, the salmon was cooked perfectly and fantastic beer menu. Finished w delicious rice pudding. Bar tender Mario was very attentive yet not overbearing (he was so busy, especially for a Tuesday night!)

    Jumbo shrimp, scallops, crab meat

    Best damn seafood place I've ever been to. Place is awesome , food is on the money wow worth every penny. The facility is beautiful. The bathrooms are beautiful. The staff is absolutely amazing. Their service was quick. The prices are reasonable. I drove an hour and a half one way from New York and I'll do it again very soon. Worth my time driving. Thank you

    Sure, Cooper's is mentioned in The Office, but the seafood there is LEGIT! Went there for lunch today and ordered the special, which was a bowl of Maryland Crab Bisque, six fried shrimp (perfect) and a solid lobster tail that I'm sure was fantastic, but I didn't get to try it! Shrimp, fries, soup, and cole slaw was too much to eat, so I figured I would take it to go and eat it on New Year's. Brought the lobster tail back to my genius daughter's house, who said "Leave the food on the porch, it's colder outside than in the fridge." Bad idea. A racoon got the lobster tail, before I could save it. I'm sure it would have been great. Hope that monster enjoyed it! Other than that, great place, cool atmosphere, affordable prices, nice vibes, great beer list! They even had an acoustic trio going from to room playing tunes. They also had a retail seafood market sale today that ends on 12/31. Bought some great-looking crab cakes which I hope to eat on New Year's Eve. They will most definitely go into the fridge.

    We chose Cooper's for dinner primarily because of their ties to The Office and we were glad we did. I chose the fish of the day which was Haddock. It was served broiled with your choice of two sides of which I chose broccoli and a garden salad. Husband had the fish and chips. We both enjoyed our meals very much. The veggies were fresh. The Haddock had a nice flavor. The fish and chips were light and not greasy as they sometimes can be. Our server was fantastic. So friendly and helpful with the menu. The vibe was sort of supper club, sort of out of this world. With vignettes throughout (including Star Wars, Flintstones, and GI Joe), a toy train that ran along the ceiling, a lighthouse that was part of the architecture, and, of course, an Office gift shop, there was a little bit of something for everyone. Nice stop plus we got a map of other Office locations we can check out before we leave Scranton. So fun!

    I had the crab cakes and I was disappointed. Too much filling and not enough crab. The filling tasted funny.

    Do you take reservations ? Would like to dine The day after Thanksgiving, Friday, but afraid we won't be able to get a seat in a timely fashion.

    I am sorry we do not take reservations. We do seat over 500 people and all of our dining rooms will be open.

    Although there's no indoor dining, is your gift shop still open to the public at this time?

    YES! It is open! Come on down :)

We appreciated the crispiness of the tortilla chips and the excellent cheese sauce that was well-distributed on the chips. There was tomato among other veggies that I do not remember. The chicken was fine for me on a cut. However, it had the texture of boiled chicken which I wasn't a huge fan of. Still had to get my protein in. I really enjoyed the burger. The bun was a soft potato roll. The patty was a little cooler. Between a cold burger and soggy nachos I certainly would choose the cool burger. This was made up for with the large volume of burger that was deliciously crispy. The pickles accompanied the burger with a secret mayo-based burger sauce. If warm, it could be a 5/5 burger. Overall, the experience was fine. I would go here on a week day rather than 6 on Friday, though.
