    Sweet chili chicken tips
    Brittany L.

    I stopped here for dinner while staying overnight in Lock Haven for work travel after looking at the menu and reviews on Yelp. The place was pretty busy and there was not a single seat in the bar area so I asked the hostess to seat me in a corner somewhere since I was eating alone. My waitress was Brooke and she was energetic, sweet and efficient. She recommended the crab corn bisque soup which I tried and enjoyed. My entree was the sweet chili chicken tips over rice. It had a good flavor and was a large portion. The restaurant had a ton of choices for homemade desserts so I settled on the peach pie. All the food was good and I left feeling overly full.

    To say that your dining options are limited in the Lock Haven area would be an understatement. However, the Dutch Haven tries its best to represent - albeit in a comfort food, home cooking kind of way. When we visit family in the area, a trip to Sunday Brunch is usually on the agenda. The prices are amazing and the food is good enough that you are not gonna want to eat until the next morning. Starting off, you can gets eggs any style, omelettes, pancakes, and some delicious French toast. There is a carving station with ham and turkey, but the star of the carving station is delicious ham gravy - you ain't gettin that at some gastropub in Philly. Overcooked green beans, over sugared candied sweet potatoes, stuffing, extra salty bacon, and hash browns remind you of Grandma's on Thanksgiving and are just part of the buffet. At the far end are sticky buns and other desserts. Someone told me there was a salad bar somewhere, but I was too busy eating meat to go and find it. Definitely check out the Dutch Haven for Sunday Brunch - oh ... And by the way, this belt loosener is going to set you back a whole $9.95 - sweet!

    Went for the first time on a Friday night post Thanksgiving meal. all in all your typical American eatery with a wide variety on the menu. The restaurant is joined: with a bar which lends to the ambience. Wait staff was friendly and cordial and our food was brought promptly considering the large party size. Kids ordered chicken appetizer which they enjoyed, as the individual pieces were actually white meat chicken coated with panko bread crumbs, and they wolfed them down. Just before the meal service the servers brought out bread, which included sliced white bread and cornbread topped with cinnamon sugar, which was quite tasty. I had the Dutch haven steak which was an 8 ounce Angus cut cooked medium, served with fries and house salad. It was cooked perfectly and my only complaint was that it wasn't larger. Wifey ordered chicken mushroom dish which was good also. Kids had the grilled Reuben sandwich and fish and chips special. Both were delicious. When they say the meals come with chips - the potato kind- they will not come from a bag. They will probably be from fresh, thinly cut and fried in their kitchen. I would definitely repeat, it was hard to believe that this place existed and I haven't been. We will see you on Sunday for the brunch there have been reviews on yelp for.

    8-ounce steak and fries, with mushrooms. $8 on steak night. Mushrooms cost extra.

    Food is awful, building is in disrepair, and the restrooms are disgusting. Avoid at all costs.

    Foods bland and mediocre and they don't let you take your leftover wings home, overall just a weird experience.

    Atmosphere, service and food was perfect. So much better than Fox's Cafe. Don't miss out on this dining experience.

The waitress had a sense of humor and helped us with suggestions for breakfast in town the next day. The owner saw us looking out the window at some large birds and he swiftly showed up at our table not only with our tasty pierogi appetizer but with a portable telescope so we could watch the baby eagles across the river learning how to fish with their parents. We had the wings (good inventive flavors!) and the special (smoked chicken, mashed potatoes and lemon zested peas with gravy) that tasted like a fresh pan sauce and was flavorful and definitely homemade tasting. What kind of tavern takes the time to add lemon zest to vegetables? A place that cares about the food they serve! And did I mention the beer was very affordable? We really enjoyed our dinner here and think the folks who live nearby are lucky to have a spot like this.

This charming…read morelocal pub has nice views of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and exceedingly friendly staff. I first visited Rock Bottom with friends several years ago--shortly after it changed ownership. It was a pleasant stop, but things have continued to improve. The owner has improved the river view by carefully tending a riverfront lot across the street and keeping large windows. There's also a side deck with river views. Thus family-owned establishment has great service and a friendly clientele who are welcoming to all. The tap system is currently offline but Rock Bottom has a nice selection of domestic bottled beers. Four stars only because we didn't have a chance to try the food; bar service was great If you're in the Lock Haven area definitely check out this local jewel. You'll have a good time and probably make some new friends.
