I've had some fantastic meals from this place in the past, so I was really looking forward to my…read morerecent order. While there were definitely highlights, I found myself a bit disappointed as well. First off, the ribs were a standout in terms of taste; they were tender and flavorful, literally falling off the bone. However, they arrived in a pizza box, sitting on foil, and were ice cold. I believe they would have retained more warmth if they had been wrapped in foil or placed in a proper takeout dish. Given that it was only a half rack, it should have fit comfortably. On the brighter side, the mashed potatoes and gravy were as delightful as always. Every time I order them, they're consistently delicious. The turkey and roast beef platters were also warm and tasty, which I appreciated. However, I couldn't shake the feeling of being misled by the portion sizes. It seemed like they were trying to create an illusion of abundance by stuffing four slices of bread under the meat. This wasn't just the case with the turkey platter; the same trick was used for the roast beef platter. When I ordered, I explicitly declined the bread option, thinking I was getting a straightforward platter, not an open-faced sandwich. Instead of a generous serving, I felt like I received less meat than I expected, masked by the hidden bread. So, while I enjoyed the flavors, I can't ignore the feeling of being a bit deceived. I'm left uncertain about my next order. Perhaps I'll reach out to them directly to discuss my experience. I understand that times are tough, and the costs of ingredients, especially meat, can be challenging, but I can't help but feel a bit fooled and/or misled by all the slices of bread under both the Turkey & Roast Beef meat (4/5 slices under each pile of meat, for each platter! Please see the evidence in the pictures I uploaded) I cannot comment on the ambience because I had my food delivered to me!

Hello foodmaniacs! Today's video was unexpected, I am at CrisNics in South Wilkes-Barre. This is an…read moreIrish Pub. Now I heard the local talk of this establishment was having some real, delicious food. So, you know when the chance arose, I was there. No because it was unexpected this is a short video showing off my dinner, the meatloaf dinner. With this particular dinner you have your choice of potato, my choice was their fresh cut homemade fries, yep, I added the gravy. This was very succulent. baked to perfection, you tasted the seasonings, the gravy. The appetizer was the nacho cheese platter where the chips were toasted, and the cheese gave it that extra flavor. I did have their soup which I forgot the name, sorry, but OMG this was also very delicious, we will be back. From service to the food 5 out of 5!

Waitress was seating party of 8 when I arrived and more people came in after me, but only 1 poor waitress. I wanted to help her and myself out, so I ordered everything at once. Oh well. Cocktail and wine arrived together after a lengthy wait. (Wine was passable, seasonal peppermint martini was watery and disappointing). Shortly thereafter my salty crab bisque arrived. Then my overcooked steak, rubbery vegetables, and smallish baked potato arrived. By that time, I just wanted out. Unfortunate.

The last time I visited, I was already inside, stepped out briefly to make a phone call, and was refused re-entry while several men walked right in without issue. Bonus points to the bouncer for telling my friends, "Your parents should be very proud of who they raised," because they had the audacity to point out that leaving a woman outside alone at night with no coat wasn't exactly appropriate. Still one of the most bizarre customer service experiences I've ever had. It's impressive how one employee can make people swear they'll never come back. Nothing says "great security staff" like refusing re-entry to a woman who was already inside while continuing to wave men through the door. Absolute 0/10. I left with no confidence that customer safety or basic respect was a priority.

Up visiting family and was craving French Onion soup, haven't eaten here in probably 20 ish years,…read moreand could prob go another 20 after this visit. French onion soup broth and onions were great, burnt cheese taste not so much. Ordered the Cobb salad and it came with no turkey on it. Had to ask waitress for the turkey.

We were there in an off hour Saturday so could explain lack of people but they had a steady number picking up orders. Wing bites are wonderful and wish they had something like it in our area.

The boneless bites are large and crispy, with a huge selection of sauces that are always loaded up. Their salads and apps are good, but I always avoid the fries.

This review was very mixed. We'd heard great things about this place and wanted to try a new place…read moreas we've started exhausting a lot of local places. The decor was great, the drinks were FANTASTIC, my food was about a 5 out of 10. I had the carbonara. Very oily and not creamy at all. I would have used a different blend of cheeses to make it creamier and less oily. My guess is they used Asiago. Not bad but not as great as I was expecting. My wife had the red beet salad. Shockingly a $20 salad with canned beets on it. Mediocre at best but the canned beets ruined it. If your getting a salad that features a specific vegetable wouldn't you want that vegetable to be the best highlight of the salad? That was the good part. The service I can't even explain. I'm not sure what happened because if it were like this everyday they'd be closed. We walked in downstairs and was told to sit wherever we wanted and then we were forgotten about. The bartender finally came over after my wife was looking her way for 20 minutes. Bartender apologized for forgetting about us. No waitresses anywhere. The AC I think was off because it was cooler outside on a warm muggy PA night than it was inside. The bar was about 3/4 full and there was one table seated and we noticed about 3/4 of the outdoor seating was occupied as well. Not super busy at all. We waited about 20 minutes before we were approached. We ordered water until we could got our menus and reviewed them. Water never came. Someone else came over and asked us about ordering drinks. We ordered drinks and asked about our water. Water never came. Drinks came. Then yet a different person came over a few minutes later to take our food order. We ordered water again since we were planning on drinking more. My wife's appetizer came out, meatballs. Pretty good, similar but somewhat different flavor than my Italian mothers recipe. When the app came out that person finally got us silverware, napkins and our water. Food came a little later. That's described above. During dinner we had to get up to get refills on water and were never offered additional drinks or anything. We finally stopped someone and asked for our check. My wife had to go to the bar to pay the bill. No one ever came back to the table. At one point earlier we were asked who our waitress was and we all looked at each other because 4 or maybe 5 people were at our table at some point but it was like we still couldn't get stuff we needed. My wife paid with a card she had forgotten to activate and it declined. The bartender gave her the slip and the card and never noticed or told her. She realized it at the table. We had to go back to the bar and pay again because after cleaning that one table everyone except the bartender would vanish. Finally we paid, sweating our asses off in a corner table with the most bassy sound system pounding for 2 hours we got out of there and went to a local bar for drinks. I would have loved to have enjoyed this place and loved to have had more drinks because their bar was the highlight of the experience but it was clear they didn't care about us at all. And we were sweating to death.

We planned on visiting Clarke's at 11am for brunch…read morelike they've had so many times before. 1 hour before opening, a post that says opening at 1pm "sorry for the inconvenience". We are fully aware of that staffing will always be an issue, and things can happen. But, to put a post up an hour before opening on a holiday weekend, definitely put a hurt on us and now we have to scramble for other plans. A lot of places require reservations for parties of 6+ people and they are already taken. Very disappointing with so many people visiting and us wanting to show them a local good time.
