I thought I'd give this place another shot, since they are only 5 minutes away. The lasagna is home made but lacks cheese; couldn't see any. more noodles than anything, which were gummy, big chunks of ground beef, and had a green pepper taste and very tomatoey. No cheese on topSo it's their version of lasagna, not good! My husband enjoyed his steak tips but his peas were raw! Crunchy, dry and crumbly. Nothing is combined together, so you get a different package of everything! The peach cobbler Togo was so sweet and gummy! A complete thumbs down again, which makes me sad! They need to taste their food or read their reviews! read more

I love their prime rib best around always tender and juicy. Price is reasonable. Salad is fresh crisp and simple but good. I just don't recommend the mushrooms taste like canned and not well seasoned. read more

It's actually 3 stars but because of our waitress it should be 5 stars. Delmonico was over cooked the Old Fashioned was watery but because of Caroline and her hilarious personality we really enjoyed ourselves. read more

The good: Lots of free parking in gravel lot and seated immediately on a Tuesday at 5pm in September The okay: the ambiance and food. - not great, not terrible either The bad: while we were seated, the waitress spilled a large glass of iced tea down me on my shirt and shorts. I was soaked. She apologized and provided paper towels but nothing more. I wish we would have left. I was cold and wet. read more

Visiting from out of town for a family funeral. They got 11 of us in with no reservation - at two tables - on a Saturday night. They took good care of us. Dinner and cocktails are "good" not great ... but if you're looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family, this is the place to go. Would love to sit near the fireplace next time. read more

Excellent restaurant ! It checks all the boxes. The food selection, quality, cooked perfectly, large selection, service with a smile, atmosphere is very good, and the prices are more than reasonable. Get there early because the place fills up. read more

This place should be featured on Gordon Ramsay's show. Kitchen Nightmares. One thing that Gordon always talks about is having a menu that shows off what you specialize in and is not too lengthy. Well Fireplace has one of the largest menus I have ever seen and with all the options I still had a hard time picking out what I wanted because somehow none of it sounded good. My husband couldn't even finish his steak sandwich because it was so low quality and cooked horribly. I don't think anyone at our table actually enjoyed their food. It is incredible that they are still in business. I guess when you have a restaurant in the middle of nowhere you can get away with serving horrible food since there is no competition. read more

This place was warm and cozy. Truly giving way to the name "Fireplace Restaurant." the service was average, if anything a little slow, but the resteraunt was packed. It had a huge menu but most of the options were burgers and steaks. I ended up going with their fettuccine, because it was listed as a specialty. Well.. The portion was rather small, the alfredo sauce was great, but nothing out of ordinary or that set it apart from others. If you're in town looking for good food, stop by. But, it's not worth going out of your way for. It was cool they brought out pumpkin bread along with the other fresh bread starter though. read more

My family decided to have an exciting night. Although we were 90 minutes away from the area, we decided make the trip up to enjoy the Christmas lights at the golf course and then take in a nice dinner at the Fireplace Restaurant afterward. The website showed they were open until 10 but we called ahead to make sure they were open. We arrived at 9:05 to find the doors locked, ruining our special evening. Why does their website list incorrect hours? Why didn't their staff alert me that they close early? Shame. I will never revisit this restaurant. Now, after seeing all the negative reviews, perhaps I didn't waste my money. Looks like they won't be around much longer. read more

Best prime rib you will ever have !!! I drive 45 minutes for it !! Everything else looks ok, not too impressive. Fried fish looked like McDonald's. But that's not why you should go, go for the prime rib it will change your life and ask for the horsey sauce!! They also carry nimble hill wines ! read more

Salmon steak sandwich all the way. Worth a try. Sometimes they get busy and don't answer the phone but they're worth the persistence. read more

Service was slow the food was mediocre and the waitress was rude. When my food finally arrived, the lady set the plate down in front of me and said what do you need I was taking back. Didn't even know what to say other than just my food. Thank you. read more

Brought out the wrong dinner. Steak was red instead of medium. The clam sauce wasn't fresh. Terrible birthday dinner.

We ordered soup and clams. 2 hours later the food came out minus one soup. We were handed the bill and noticed the soup was on there so we notified the waitress to subtract it from the final bill. She brought the bill back at +$10! I told her this was incorrect and she said sorry I added the initial bill wrong. You actually owe us +$10 with the soup subtracted. What a scam this whole place is. I have never felt more wronged in my life. read more

Stopped on the GoldWing after a run through the country. Dinner on a Sunday evening last weekend. They were definitely swamped, although the restaurant wasn't full. Our server had at least half the restaurant. Service was sloooow. Food, when it finally came out was hot, prepared correctly and all in all what I expected. I just didn't expect it to take 45 min for a french dip. I don't know if the holdup was the server or the kitchen, but the have some work to do. Wife had prime rib and crab bisque. I had French dip and fries. Photos below. I'll stop again, but will have to allow for some extra time. read more

I stumble into the restaurant coming out of a detour & remembered from a previous visit that I had a great meal. Well, this time I had the Petite Prime Rib 9 oz. cook to desired doneness. It was tender & flavourful. Comes with a big salad & choice of potato(mashed). Delishhhhhhh! read more

Fireplace Restaurant - Prime rib - New American Near Me - Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania

Adorable place we found traveling. Staff was very helpful and service was on point. The food was fresh and hot. We had the Bison Burgers and was pleased with them. They use fresh vegetables and not the frozen kind which we enjoyed. I prefer more fresh spices & herbs on my food and I felt the food needed something. read more

We stopped in for dinner and it was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and the food came out quite quickly. I had the French onion soup followed by the prime rib sandwich. My husband had a side salad followed by the chicken parmigiana. We enjoyed a couple cocktails and the price was super reasonable. Thanks for a great evening out. read more

This place is outdated in its decor It felt dirty Too many items on the menu We have the crab cakes which were just a bread ball with some crab flavoring the worst crab claws ever They should make their menu smaller and focus on making good food read more

One of my favorite spots in Tunkhannock, PA. The fish is what I get along with their apple crisp. Yes crazy as it sounds it is good. Every once in awhile grab a drink too. Thank you Laura, Dan & the rest of the staff. We have had the best food there along with great service. read more

Very good stuffed haddock. Salad bowls are quirky. Very old school restaurant decor on the walls. Our server left before we had our food, but another server stepped in and took care of our table. read more

Always quality food! I've gone to this restaurant for over ten years and it's a staple for good home cooked quality food. The beef medallions and twice baked potato are top notch. Veggies are always fresh in the salads, pumpkin bread is also a staple. read more

I had the prime rib. Perfectly cooked, and delicious sides. I loved the atmosphere and decorations. Top notch service as well.

Love this old school hometown treasure just up the Tunkhannock Highway on Rt. 6! Meat char-broiled on the grill, absolutely delicious beef medallions and Monterey chicken specials! Loved the shrimp cocktail and smelts appetizers. Highly recommend, pumpkin bread in the breadbasket such a delicious sweet surprise! Enjoy the last of these special, hometown Pennsylvania restaurants!! A++ read more

This place needs an update . We went there after not going a couple of years & it's still the same grimey place. The food was marginal . The whole place needs a coat of paint & a good cleaning,including windows. read more

Pleasant surprise. Just caught sign as we were driving by and managed to pull in. Menu was huge in size and variety. Salads proved excellent and so were the burgers. Assortment of bread basket served with salads was wonderful. The pumpkin loaf was really good. They sell the loaf at the counter but since we were traveling had to resist Great assortment of pies made in house. Fast friendly service Great value read more

They have a salad called the Laura salad that's not on the menu which I recommend. It comes with chicken, lettuce, strawberries, candied walnuts, grilled pineapple, crumbled feta and raspberry vinaigrette. It's actually pretty good. I'm vegetarian so I get it without the chicken and I enjoy it. Like the previous reviewer said, restaurants should be rated against other local restaurants. The food is pretty good, and they have an extensive menu of burgers/salads/sandwiches. The decor is dated and the furniture could use a revamp, but it has been established in the area for a while and the "rustic" feel adds to the atmosphere. Service is slow, so I would recommend calling ahead to order your food. read more

I always eat dinner at the Fireplace. Tonight was the latest I have ever walked in at 8:30. It was the fewest people I have ever encountered in the restaurant. I was served by Miranda tonight and she was the best waitress I have ever had serve me. She took great care of me and my family. I had Prime Rib and it was the Best Prime Rib I have eaten all year...not any fat at all really. Both my daughters had really good Hamburgers just as they asked for them. My youngest asked for a hamburger that wasn't on the menu and she got exactly what she asked for. My wife ordered off the Mexican menu and she said it was what she wanted and she liked it. Thank you Miranda that was great dinner experience. Thanks to the cooks on the amazing food we ate. read more

Over the past several years I have not had any good food here, I would go again thinking lets give another shot and was always disappointed. Food not served as asked(over done),Prime rib we'd get about 5/6 bites out of it and the rest was sooo much Fat. Very slow service, Food that should have been hot came cold, their burgers are so greasy that the bun turns to Mush. Last night upon someone else's invite, we went there. THIS time, we waited in line, the couple ahead was seated. We waited & waited and finally whomever the so called Hostess was, came over, asked how many? We replied 5, the response we received was, OH, I don't have that kind of room for you we have a Party of 30 that was reserved and walked away. How Much MORE RUDE could someone be. We all looked at each other and said let's get out here. As we were out the door she came out and said party of 5 I can have a table for you, To that we said NO nevermind we are going elsewhere and also told the Short Brown haired lady " You were very Rude" an We Left. That is THEE very last time we will ever go to the Fireplace again.... read more

The Fireplace has been part of my Family's dinner tradition for almost as long as it has been open. This is comfort food! The surroundings, sounds and smells all remind me of the pleasure of being surrounded by family and cheer of a cold winter's night - in front of a fireplace.... As a child I would tear into a mountain burger with great abandon! The 'mountain sauce' and fresh toppings on top of a couple of thin, flame kissed beef patties adds to the character - The flavor is hot, juicy and outstanding! Ask for well done if you want to skip the very proper juicy pink patties. Other offerings on the menu and off the Special's list make this an attractive stop along route 6.. If you are hungry and within 40 minutes drive I would hang onto your hunger to land here. Think fire grilled, Irish inspired comfort foods, plenty of quality meat dishes - Beef, Chicken, and occasional Fish. read more

awful! waited ten minutes for any staff to address us at the door. when seated it was clear the menu was extensive, not a great sign! food was over priced and poor quality. I ordered the turkey burber and my husband had a burger. both were frozen and mine smelt sour. the waitress gave us the meals and the tomatoes were rotten. I asked her about them and she said lately their produce has been horrible. she asked if I wanted more?! then she went to the kitchen and cut one fresh. will not be back! I feel badly that we wasted money and time. read more

Easily the worst meal I've had in years and my husband and I travel very often now that we're empty-nesters. The waitress was nice and when I asked her opinion between two meals she suggested the stuffed shrimp as she really likes their stuffing. I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay. If you're going to say it's stuffed with crab meat, please actually use crab meat. They use imitation crab and it was mostly large pieces of bread. At best, it should be called a "seafood" stuffing and that's a HUGE stretch. The shrimp themselves weren't seasoned at all. The salad was good though. I left all but the one shrimp I tried and the waitress didn't seem interested but she was busy. I took a slice of banoffee pie to go since I was still hungry and it was completely inedible. I rarely turn down dessert but I threw the whole slice in the trash after the first bite. My husband had the sirloin and it was 70% gristle. We had very high hopes as the restaurant was highly recommended and smelled amazing when we got out of our car. We'd have been happier at McDonald's and I hate McDonald's. read more

Friendly staff. I had the prime rib and it was okay and the price was reasonable. The onion rings were great. The salad was very disappointing, too much dressing and not much lettuce. read more

We haven't been there in years but having recently relocated to Dallas Pa and having seen it featured on WNEP's Home & Back Yard felt we'd give it a try. It looked improved from its former dark and dreary ambiance. Wrong-the booths were in the same rough shape, and a dark environment. The food was just OK, the server was very pleasant. Nothing special at all. read more

Disclaimer: When you're in this particular rural part of Pennsylvania, you should rate restaurants against other local restaurants. If you don't... you'll never find a place to eat. This isn't the culinary capitol of Pennsylvania and food is pretty standard. But, I've found that is true of rural America, period. Again, if this were located anywhere else I wouldn't give it 4-stars. But you have to weigh your options. If you're driving up Route 6. This is one of your better decisions. It's pretty typical to the area, as far as what they offer on the menu, they have a lot to choose from. You have your steaks, pastas, salads, burgers, and deep fried everything. This was my second or third time eating here in the past few years. (I had the worst date of my entire life here, but that's a completely other story and didn't play a factor into this review.) I ordered the Stuffed Haddock with a side of broccoli and baked potato. Again, wasn't the best fish of my entire life, but it's a lot better than most I've had in this particular part of Pennsylvania! I do like the atmosphere here. It makes you forget you're sitting alongside busy Route 6 and really transports you into some kind of 'older-world' rustic oasis. It's dark and has a lot of cool wood accents and cabin-ish decor. It's clean! Sadly, another positive for the area. They also serve alcohol and have a well stocked bar. If you're hungry and headed West on Route 6... stop here. There isn't much up the road for you to choose from. You'll find decent food, great service, and a cool country atmosphere. read more
