A little bias because I know how much work goes into their food. The salad dressing and buffalo sauce is made in house. They should really bottle and sell it. All the BBQ is slow cooked out back. We got volcano fries to start. Fries with buffalo and blue cheese on them. They were delicious. I got the Twisted Fish Sandwich: Fried haddock with melted cheese, thousand island, pickles, slaw and bacon. It was delicious. Fish was perfectly fried and breaded. The others in my party got a salad and brisket. Both loved their meals. Def will be going here again. read more

I tried Gins again after they reopened recently. The place looks nice The food on the other hand? The spinach dip- 0 flavor The bread was microwaved. My salad was was simply a cereal bowl of lettuce I order a 16oz rib eye md rare. What i got was a 1/2 inch thick well done hunk of something, FOR $38. needless to say I sent it back and ordered a hamburger. read more

Turned a nice family restaurant into an adult sports bar, your service and food has gone downhill, and your menu has diminished, I will not be back to the new place, hope the fire insurance covered your rebuild because your changes are going to put you under. read more

We arrived and were immediately taken to get seated when there was a couple infront of us with the same amount (2) who were waiting long before us. Only when I pointed out they were ahead of us were they seated. We only saw 1 bartender behind the bar when the restaurant was SLAMMED the weekend of December with 2 big games on. Once our non alcoholic drink order was taken it took 15+ minutes for our food order to be taken by another waitress. The food was extremely mediocre. We ordered the pasta, Ruben, and pretzel. None of it was actually good or tasted great. It was my first time there, and I will NOT go back. While being ignored the bartender did look at us multiple times and would Immediately look away when they saw us looking. Also the poor couple who came before us were served after us with their drinks, food and apps. They were seated first and order was taken AFTER ours. read more

Good place to drink but food is not great. Pastrami sandwich was horrible and meat was overcooked and tough. Prime rib sandwich was 70% bread and little meat. Service was fair but not attentive. Will not be returning. read more

Way too pricey for what it isn't! Was great before the rebuild, but not since re-opening. Been three times and done!

We were seated immediately and our waiter came right over and immediately took our drink order and it promptly arrived. We ordered food and waited an hour for our food. Others seated around us were complaining about the wait. The food was very good but this was not the place to go to for an easy quick lunch. The menu special said 'big daddy' special yet I could not find anyone who knew who big daddy was read more

We waited only10 minutes to be seated. We had our drink & App order taken soon after. We waited about 20 minutes for a calamari order & they forgot the banana peppers. Our entrees ( Prime rib & fish & chips) took much much longer. We got there at 1:15 & left 2 hours later (around 3:15) as soon as we finished eating. We didn't want to wait for any other food items. The prime rib was well done. The waiter had put medium on the ticket & we were expecting med. rare. The fries with the fish & chips were warm but not crisp as if they had been under a heat lamp for a long period. The side of coleslaw was missing & had to be brought out separate. Gins also adds a fee for using a credit card. Our bill had an extra $4 tacked on to it for that "service". I think the kitchen help needs a bit more training. read more

They have really good pizza and nice garlic wings and they are pretty good with COVID.

I was introduced to Gin's by my local college buddy. He told me it's a staple in the area, so I had to give it a try. My 3 sons and wife ate here and enjoyed our meal. The pizza was unique like the other review mentioned, but the wings were not as good as I had hoped. The beer was ice cold, a major plus and the services was very good. There is a large menu with just about anything you might want from prime rib to cheeseburgers. Overall a very good and friendly experience. read more

Gin's Restaurant - a sign for gin's take out - Seafood Near Me - Factoryville, Pennsylvania

Good bar/restaurant that you feel comfortable taking your kids for dinner or your high school buddies. Never had a bad meal here.

Gin's has been in business roughly since the beginning of time and is one of my favorite spots to visit when in NEPA. This restaurant makes the best pizza ever. But it is controversial - you love it or hate it. In any case, it is a unique culinary experience compared to the local favorites in Old Forge. And the wings are not too shabby either. So delicious pizza and wings. Cheap draft beers. Ample seating. Jukebox. Shuffleboard. Support of high school sports teams. What else could you want in your local bar? Did I mention that Gin's has shuffleboard? Love this place. read more

When it comes to dining in Factoryville there aren't many choices, but you can't go wrong with Gin's. They offer everything from bar food all the way to full meals. They have lunch and dinner specials that include a variety of homemade items. I would suggest getting the Tex Mex soup if it is available! read more

Wonderful service. Great food. Good prices. Fast service. Very easy to find and easily can accomodate larger groups.. I will definitely go there again read more

Granted the food is good and the value is decent but the service has always been horrible. We have been coming here for many years due to the close proximity of our home. On a busy holiday evening, there were two waiters and we waited over an hour for our food. This is just in acceptable! Next time, we'll choose the lake restaurant! read more

Great food. Nice people. A overall great stop. Open face roast beef is so delicious. Homemade soups and nice bar food.

Gin's Restaurant - a christmas tree in the background - Seafood Near Me - Factoryville, Pennsylvania

Fantastic food and overall great experience. They treat you like family and the good is excellent with lots to choose from.

I ordered wings "extra, extra crispy - hot" there are 10 in an order. About half of them were not cooked enough and too big. The meat wouldnt pull from the bone and when you bite into an under cooked wing it sounds like your biting into an apple. Yuck! The blue cheese was in a paper ramekin and had a yellow film on top from sitting uncovered in the refrigerator for many days I'm sure. The 1/2 lb burger was okay. Didn't realize it came with ketchup. Ketchup is no good in my book! The service was not so hot. Every time the waitress would come to our table she would walk and act like she was so overwhelmed. There was 3 tables of people in the entire place. I really like this place but the food left a little something to be desired. read more

Gin's is a hit or miss type of place. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. Today my girlfriend and I went there for lunch. I ordered the French Onion soup, which was the soup of the day, and I was told that it wouldn't be ready for another 15 minutes. 25 minutes later I was told that the soup still wasn't ready, so I told the waitress to forget about it. I got a burger and ordered it medium. It came out well done, so much so that it was crispy. Our waitress was not friendly at all, and she ignored us most of the time. Tables that had arrived after us received their checks before we did. We were there for over an hour... for lunch. It was a good thing we weren't in a hurry to get somewhere. Our bill came to 23.25 without the tip, and the quality of the food did not match the price. I've had really great service and food and Gin's, it just depends on who is working at the time. The waitress we got today is one of the worst. If it was my first time there, I would not go back. read more

Ok place for a quick meal just dont expect your burger or steak to be cooked anything less then well done i had the porterhouse burger mid rare which came out well done and tough . read more

This is our go to restaurant when we're hungry at home and don't want to cook. The buffalo chicken dip pleased my taste buds and ends up being my dinner some nights. The pierogies and pizza are above average as well. My husband typically gets the 1/2lb bacon burger with bbq sauce. When dining in there is a country bar/family restaurant ambiance. Lots of tables. The wait staff could be friendlier but they're usually busy so I try not to hold it against them. read more

Twenty Years of Gin's experience and the quality still goes in before the dish comes out. In the less than 2% of cases where there was an issue I had a replacement dish delivered in under ten minutes. I've had dates here, I've dined alone here, and I've had parties of twelve here and there was always a willingness to accommodate. Yes the lovely waitress staff has difficult days, but I've never witnessed rudeness. The menu is large and varied and the kitchen does intro new items on a regular basis. There's very regular local entertainment with no cover and over the years I have witnessed outstanding talent; including the owner strumming and singing! Gin's has it's own charm and Factoryville attitude, just relax and enjoy. read more

Great dive-type of a place with a good variety on the menu. Caught some great live music here last night - fiddler was an excellent musician. P&E shrimp and steamed clams here were very good, and neither were overcooked, as seems to happen in a lot of places. Pizza is by the tray, NEPA style, not a round pie. Not a huge fan of the style, but theirs is definitely respectable. For the live music, menu selection and very casual atmosphere, I loved this place. read more

This place is great . A lot of variation of wings that are all great. Great steak specials. This place has pretty good for for the price . Very cheap . I would of givin 5 stars but there pizza is just a little on the soggy side . Great people , great drink makes for a great time . Worth stopping in . read more

If you like comfort food in an unpretentious hometown type of place You will be happy here. My husband and I come for a pizza and a beer aspecial of steak and a crab cake for always reasonable prices! Delicious turkey chili soup for example. Super group friendly children welcome Big tvs heh cold beer whats not to like Not fancy, not romantic , :0 just homey, honest, long menu and friendly high effort waitresses For locals-- it is a drive worth taking Dressing up not necessary read more

Very friendly service, and great food. The prices are very fair, and the seating is very open and comfortable. There is a nice large square bar to eat at , and a secluded game room (with a pool table, dart board, etc) that allows smoking (I think). read more

Went here with family for dinner on a weekend. I am mostly vegetarian except for occasionally fish. Not one vegetarian course on the menu, with the exception of pizza and one or two pastas. I ended up ordered the "homemade crab cakes" with peas and carrots and baked potato. The crab cakes were not real crab, but rather imitation crab meat, with little to no seasoning. The imitation crab was overly sweet, and one piece inside it was as large as a half dollar. The carrots were "baby carrots" soaked with water that oozed out when pressed on, and had the texture of limp rubber. Peas were canned, soaked with water. Baked potato was mushy with no seasoning. I did get homemade cocktail sauce, which was the best tasting and most edible part of the meal. One of the worst meals I've had. read more

Last night after voting my husband and I went to Gin's for a burger, fries and a beer. We were only there once before and that was 6 years ago. The place has changed dramatically. The waitress suggested we order the porterhouse burger because the one we originally wanted for $3 was very small so we agreed. Meanwhile, the beer arrived warm and since they gave us no coasters our glasses sat in a pool of water. I had to split one of our napkins to mop it up. The fries were so salty that even I complained and I love my salt. But they probably do it on purpose so you'll drink more beer. And now for the real shocker - THE BILL - it was a whooping $37. We almost didn't have enough to pay. Granted the burgers were delicious but $12 bucks each? Come on!!!! The only highlight of the evening was a poster of the Beatles on the wall. We won't be going back. read more

Absolutely terrible. In the past we've always had a pleasant and enjoyable experience. After today we will never be coming back. If you ask for extra tartar because their tiny portion isn't enough for your fish be prepared to be charged $1 for if and also not be made aware of such a charge. Waited 15 minutes for our salads to be brought out. Then waited another 20 min after finishing our salads for our food. Beware of the chicken Marsala. What use to be 3-4 chicken breasts is now just 1 but the price is still the same. At least it still tastes the same I guess. My daughters spaghetti was taken away from her before she even was finished with it. It was just taken and other dirty food dishes piled on top of it before we even had a chance to say she wasn't finished with it. She still had over 1/2 of it that she didn't eat. She cried when she realized it had been removed from the table. She's only 4. Throughout our entire dinner drink refills were never offered nor given. My husband asked to speak to a manager. She seemed unwilling to listen to me when I voiced my concerns and acted as though we were lying. Apparently it's our responsibility to ask for drink refills. This is a first in my experience. To sum up that experience I felt as though they weren't willing to take any responsibility for their poor service. If substantially smaller portions at regular prices, slow/poor table service, rude management is your thing then by all means check them out. No complaints about the quality of the food. It's just everything else that's the problem. read more

We have gone to gins many times and the food is usually pretty good and it's usually a packed house on the weekends. But last nite was different. With only 5 tables in the whole restaurant and 4 waitresses we thought we would have great service. We were wrong. We sat for 20 min before the 16 yr old dishwasher boy came out and took out drink orders. Then it was another 20 min until we got our drinks and menus from a waitress. We had to stop her from leaving before we asked for an appitizer. Then after 30 min and empty glasses I waved down a different waitress that was talking with the others and we ordered. Our app came out and then our original waitress brought bread later. And five min after that came our food. I ordered calamari with a lightly spicy sauce and ended up getting a bowl of diced habanaro peppers with a few calamari. It was so hot I couldn't eat it and I like suicide wings so that tells you something. Just a terrible enough experience to write this review. The service has been going downhill for the last year and I will not be back. read more

Okay food decent service will comeback and try something different. Pretty quick service and also attentive which is more than can be said for a lot of establishments in NEPA. Could be a 4 star with a bit more flavorful food. read more

Dive bar w friendly stands and great food menu. Pizza is above average, everyone knows your name. Can't put a price on that

Stopped in before we headed home to Tunkhannock. I wasn't very hungry to start, so my boyfriend and I decided to split a steak Stromboli. Honestly one of the best I've ever had. Tender steak and onions and creamy cheese wrapped in a crispy dough wrapper. Homemade marinara sauce was the "cherry on top". There is an awesome digital jukebox and the staff and customers are very lively and friendly. read more

The incredible shrinking take out pizza! Can they make it any smaller?? When you open the box, you have to look for it. I took a picture, honestly it only fills half of the box. read more

Recommended by a colleague. Didn't have much time. The decor is very cool, felt like I was in a log cabin. Wing bites were excellent. Staff was extremely friendly. I'll be back. read more
