Service was good. Truly. The staff did their job well. Unfortunately, they're working incredibly hard to serve food that the kitchen clearly isn't. Let's start with the obvious: this is supposedly a chop house. So how do you mess up the steak? I ordered medium and it came out rare, poorly cut, and completely flavorless. No crust, no seasoning, no care. It's impressive, honestly you have to actively try to make a steak this sad in a restaurant that literally has "chop house" in the name. Not worth the price for sure. The menu reads like someone threw darts at a culinary map. Sicilian kimchi? Why? The carpaccio had all the excitement of wet paper. The Caesar salad was wilted and bland. The onions and mushrooms were somehow both greasy and watery at the same time, an impressive feat of culinary confusion. The veal pasta was so aggressively lemony it tasted like someone dropped a bottle of Pledge into the pan. Then there was the whitefish special with chips that felt like a bizarre, half-hearted attempt to acknowledge the Jewish holiday. As a Jew, if that was the intention, it came across more like a punchline than a tribute. Presentation across the board looked rushed and sloppy. The real question is: who is the chef and what exactly are they doing back there? Because if your entire concept is a chop house and the steak is the worst part of the meal, something has gone very wrong. Gresham Chop House has great service, which is honestly the only reason this experience wasn't a complete disaster. But the kitchen needs a serious identity check, and maybe a salt shaker. read more

I don't know who the chef is at Gresham's Chop House, but someone needs to check if they've ever actually cooked a steak before. For a place that calls itself a chop house, the food coming out of that kitchen is embarrassing. The steak was overcooked, dry, and somehow still bland at the same time--like seasoning is a foreign concept back there. The sides tasted like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, and the plating looked like zero care went into it. When you're charging chop house prices, you should at least have a chef who understands the basics of cooking meat. Honestly, it felt like the kitchen was just guessing their way through the menu. If this is the standard the chef is putting out, they're doing the entire restaurant a huge disservice. I've had better steaks at chain restaurants and dive bars. The atmosphere wasn't much better either--crowded tables, loud, and just an overall uncomfortable vibe. It felt more like a chaotic diner than a nice restaurant by the lake. read more

I went to dinner with a couple of friends from South Carolina and we both ordered salads with steak that were about four pieces of steak and it was drawn out waitress offered an apology and nothing was ever done to replace it with another meal or add something to it overpriced but the ambience is wonderful. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! Food is delicious (my favorite burger ever) staff is awesome! We usually sit at the bar but we've heard the lake views on the patio are incredible. read more

It's a very nice place. Roomy, nice bar, good servers. The food is more than expected for the Poconos, so that was a nice surprise too. The front desk hosts need to smile a bit. Their look was as if we were bothering them by not having a reservation. To those Ladies: Make the most of the season...... We'd go back! read more

Rushed experience. Ordered the catch of the day. Was rushed to order. Wasn't asked if the food was ok. Basic no flavor. Thoroughly disappointed. read more

Good food soft shell crap great. Steak salad so so. Drinks pretty good. Close tables but exterior seating available

The best prime rib and French onion soup ever. Service is excellent and the restaurant is cute with a nautical theme. Love this place. Has tons of gluten free options. My husband is celiac and we can eat here with ease. read more

Service great . Good food . Nice place in town ! Had dinner for a birthday great time!!!

Honestly: NOT BAD for the Poconos. We came here earlier this week to celebrate a birthday and the whole experience was better than anticipated. It's a cute spot, and while the view consists more of the road than of the lake, it's still nice to be there and have a window wall to the outside. There's a full bar, but be warned that some of the beers on tap taste really off. The calamari we started with was surprising crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Didn't taste like fresh seafood, of course, but still, expectations were exceeded! For dinner, one of us got the eggplant and buratta with "heirloom tomatoes" that were simply just sliced cherry tomatoes, so false advertising. The eggplant was nice and crisp but it was served cold, so that was unwelcome. The steamed broccoli was good. Our daughter got their meat lasagna special, and once again: not bad!!! Like, gooey and hot and saucy and nothing to complain about. Both steaks the guys ordered were cooked correctly: the fillet was interesting with the bacon and the cowboy steak was a large hunk of meat that--we're saying this as Texans--didn't impress but got the job done. We skipped dessert to go to our beloved Dairy Twist. Our server was very hospitable and the ambience was nice overall all things considered. We're landing on three stars, but it's a happy three, and we can even see ourselves coming here again. read more

Food and service are always amazing! Husband loves the steak! We stay up that way once a year and Greshams is ALWAYS part of our stay! Nice to sit and look out at the lake too! read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!! First off I called at 4 to make a reservation for a party of 3 for my sons birthday and the receptionist said they don't do reservations for party's of 3 to just come down to be seated. We get there at 6 and are then told it's a 30 minute wait!! Ok so we are then told they will text us when our table is ready. Only took the 30 minutes she said it would but when we were seated the ambiance was just NOT that nice. For such a great location next to a beautiful lake there wasn't much of a view!!! So disappointing! And the waitresses are all dressed in jeans or jean shorts!! Very unprofessional looking to me! But hey to each their own I guess!? Then we get our food and it was just OK. To be honest I get better steak and mashed potatoes for half the price at Long Horn Steakhouse!!! And then we get our bill and the price was OUTRAGEOUS!!! For three people, it cost us $200 and we didn't even get anything special! What a waste of money!! Never going there again!!!! read more

We've passed this place several times on our Sunday drives over the years but today we decided to stop in. Of course it was a perfect day weather wise and we sat on the outside deck. You couldn't beat the atmosphere. Our waitress was Jessica and she was just so personable and attentive. I can't rave about her enough, she was fantastic!!! My husband had the cowboy steak and I had the salmon. Absolutely delicious!!!! Everything was soooo good, I can't wait to go back!!! read more

When they serve the prime rib special (usually in the fall and winter when the kids are back in school) it is worth trying it. The restaurant opens at 4 so the best time to get there is around 4 read more

Shannon was our server and she was AWESOME!! The place is really cool and has a great atmosphere. The food was great. They start you off with bread and some type of olive oil infused with rosemary, I think, with shredded cheese in it. We had to ask for more, it was so good. I then had the Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella which could not have been better. My entrée was Garden Pasta which was angel hair pasta, instead of penne, fresh broccoli, button mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, spinach, oil, and garlic. I LOVED every part of my meal and service. read more

Tonight I planned a birthday dinner for my husband with our children, my sister, brother in law and their 3 girls. The staff was rude, cold, and unwelcoming from the moment we entered. From the lack of service.... we were never checked on once to see if we needed anything , the horrible food, ....my $45 filet was like a hockey puck, and how they treated us on the way out says everything you need to know to steer clear of this establishment. So strange, but everyone's chairs were falling backwards when they would stand up while we were there. My 3 year old niece fell backwards hitting her lip and bleeding everywhere. Not one employee, not 1!!! Came over to see if she was ok and if we needed anything! That really bothered us but we just pushed through. Then to top it all off, as if there could be anymore, as we were leaving , your staff had the nerve to tap my brother in law on the shoulder to see if we were going to clean up the kids mess under the table, which consisted of 4 stickers. Our children were coloring and playing with puffy stickers while we tried to have a nice dinner. Before leaving my husband and I took all the " puffy stickers " off the table and put them where the trash was . Nothing was ruined they were puffy stickers, they are kids. We always go above and beyond to help clean the normal children's mess. If you aren't expecting some noodles on the floor then I would stress that you don't allow children. The fact that you ask your customers who just spent over $500 to pick up some noddles and stickers off the floor is insane! We commented on their Facebook page about our disgust and outrage and they came back with further insults and then took down the conversation like a bunch of cowards. Please don't visit this restaurant. We went to The Dock during Father's Day and it wa wonderful! Go there read more

Horrible!! My daughter fell out of her chair. She bumped her face and was bleeding. The restaurant couldn't be bothered to help us. A lady in a denim jacket (manager) stepped over her and looked down in disgust, refusing to help. She's 3. Run from this mediocre food and horrible service. I think they hate kids... read more

DO NOT eat at this establishment. This is a horrible place who thinks they are Ruth Chris quality with the NASTIEST steaks I've ever had. They HATE Children and are not welcomed here. The wait staff is horrible unprofessional and have zero experience. They chased my Husband out the door to clean the floor from our young children that we already cleaned !! And because they left 2 stickers on the floor !! They even had the audacity to question my parenting to a large audience. The fact they came on social media to question someone's parenting is unheard of As a business owner. They do not know what it's like to be a parent to young children trying to enjoy a meal and doing the best you possibly can and then being shamed for it !?!? What you did was unheard of. You ran after my husband. There were ZERO puffy stickers left at that table because WE removed them. You pushed us to our breaking point. STAY AWAY read more

Very friendly and helpful waitstaff. Great outdoor seating with a beautiful view. The calamari was great. The pot stickers out of this world. The steaks and seafood cakes amazing as well. We all loved the watermelon moscato. Only problem I had ( no one else at the table minded) was I thought the little house salad should be mixed with the dressing instead of just poured on.... But who goes out for a salad??? Will definitely be back. read more

Terrible. TERRIBLE. No other words. The service is terrible and the food is terrible. I decided to have dinner here tonight. I sat at the bar that had no more than 6 other people seating there. Right out of the gate the bartender seemed unorganized and inexperienced. I ordered a Shrimp Cocktail, and a Filet Mignon Medium Rare. The dinner comes with a salad and I chose oil and vinegar for the dressing. The shrimp cocktail was delivered and it was good. The shrimp were definitely frozen but the cocktail sauce was good. Not sure 4 frozen shrimp warrants a $10.95 price tag. My salad was then delivered with a single ramekin filled with oil and a drop of Vinaiger in it. There was no way to eat this salad without dousing the entire 1/4 cup of oil onto the small salad. For a moment I thought about telling the bartender that oil and vinegar needs to be served separately but I had no desire to train this restaurant's staff. Finally after 30 minutes and everyone else seated around the bar receiving their food the bartender came over to me and said the cook overcooked your Filet so he had to start over. After another 10-15 minutes I was finally delivered my filet. I cut into it and it seemed very rare. After several bites I realized the filet was very very rare to the point of being "black and blue". At this point I was annoyed with this restaurant with the bartender and wanted nothing to do with them. I called the bartender over and showed him my uncooked steak and he acted as if he could care less. I told him I'm not paying for this and I wanted my check. For the prices they charge and given they call themselves a Chop House they should be ashamed of themselves. I suspect this will be the next restaurant in the area to close their doors. And rightfully so. read more

Pleasant dining experience. Wait staff and hostess always pleasant. We usually go when they have their Prime Rib Special. Food is always delicious! There's a large dining area, with plenty of seating and comfortable lighting. Not the greatest acoustics. If someone is hearing impaired, they will have a hard time hearing, as my husband did. read more

First time here and I must say the food and staff were amazing. From the wonderful Hostess Julie who seated us to our amazing server Tricia, and our friendly busboy. The food was excellent. Being a New Yorker we are hard on rating foods. Every single thing we ate was amazing. The masked potatoes were dreamy and flavorful. Steak was amazing. Appetizers were incredible. My French onion soup was one of the best I had. Last but not least the Lemon drop martini was great! You must try this place. We will definitely be back. read more

Ok, so my food was terrible. But to top it off, the experience was awful. I saw multiple people getting wrong orders. My poor kids buttered noodles were inedible. We couldn't get a waitress to clear the table, never mind bring us dessert menus. Then the kicker. The kids had puff stickers that are reusable. Then my niece (18 months), left 3 on the floor accidentally. The hostess angrily chased us down in the parking lot, demanding we clean it up. I'm not kidding. I do t leave reviews, I've never had an experience like that in my life. We tried to complain on Facebook and they deleted our posts. Who are these people? Profits over people. But that's society today at the Chophouse. Treat people terribly and serve them nothing in return. Stay far away. read more

Knock Knock. Who's there? The WORST (no hyperbole) restaurant in Pennsylvania. We went with my brother in law and his family for his birthday. We took our children whom are well behaved and let me tell you, if you have children, steer clear of here! At the end of the dinner (after dropping $500 on mediocre food), the smuggest woman I've ever encountered (perhaps manager - who cares) was apoplectic that there were about 5 stickers under the table (literally about 5 stickers) and hunted me down on our way out to get me to clean up the stickers. I would highly recommend anyone with children avoid this place and even if you don't have children, avoid!!! Is there a way to leave like negative 100 stars? read more

My husband and I were at the lake for Memorial Day and decided to try this place out after hearing from my FIL that it was good. We put our name in and went to the back outdoor bar for a drink while we waited for our table - I really loved the vibes back there! Beautiful views of the lake (I wish they could maybe remove some of the trees along the water line to get a better view but I think they are protected by PPL or something). Great music and seating options on the deck! We were seated on the outdoor space for dinner and our waitress was nice - food was good! I had a filet which was yummy. If you're looking to get out of the house, I'd recommend! It's nice after all of the years going to the lake to have a decent place to go to! read more

First timers after many years visiting this area. We were seated at an outside table, overlooking the beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack. The spot was perfect! Our waitress was very nice, attentive and knowledgeable of all their menu items and dinner specials. I ordered the most perfect Delmonico Steak, medium rare. That's exactly how it came to the table. Perfectly steamed Broccoli with a nice sprinkle of Parmesan. Some pot stickers and a bowl of onion soup and our meal was complete. I'll be back again. It's was perfect!! read more

Definitely a 5 star experience - meals were creative and tasted delicious; service was efficient and professional; ambiance of the dining room was business casual; was hard to choose which dessert to enjoy - peanut butter pie and crème brûlée cheesecake for the win!! Highly recommend the bacon wrapped salmon with bourbon sauce. The 2 hr. drive to this restaurant was well worth it!! read more

Went here for the first time on a busy Saturday night. We chOse to sit in thE bar area for dinner. The place has a great decor. Staff was mostly friendly and the food was really good.

My wife and I love coming here for dinner. The staff is always friendly, professional, and make you feel welcome. The host, wait staff, the younger folks who clear the plates from the table, even wait staff for other tables are always smiling and asking how your food is - really making you feel special. The food is always top notch! I have celiac, so I have to eat gluten free, and their menu tells you what is GF so I don't have to make any special requests. The wait staff seems to be well versed on celiac / gluten free, so I never worry about cross contamination or asking how things are prepared. The prices are reasonable, about what you would expect from a higher end establishment like Gresham's. read more

Amazing place to eat, great food, happy and helpful servers, clean comforting atmosphere.

Best meal I've had in the Wallenpaupack area since I bought a vacation home here 3 years ago. Everything from the service, drinks,apps,salad and main course was fantastic. Our group all had steaks. The Filet Mignon and Delmonico were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be back read more

Never ever a bad meal, anything from a burger to a tomahawk, service is always outstanding, awesome view of Lake Wallenpaupack.

Expensive for what you get ! We are from NY and this is what I'd expect to pay in the city (and your probably get more) Atmosphere is nice and the place is lively with what looked like a regular crowd. Salad was four leaves of lettuce on a ramekin, the calamari was definitely frozen and ultra small for $17 and French onion soup was good but may as well have been a thimble's worth. The salmon was tasty but the fillet mignonette were far too rare and at $40+ was like going to a steakhouse in NYC. Overall nice place but way too expensive for what you get. Either ratchet down the prices or increase the quantity / size of apps entres. read more

Always enjoy a good meal here with friendly staff and the view of the lake does not disappoint!!

We went here for Mothers Day Anniversary and our waitress Liv who is a young vibrant pretty girl and going to school waited on us with a smile and making us feel like we were the only ones she was taking care of!

The waitress Liv is an asset to anywhere she will work bc of her disposition and great smile would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and a pretty location overlooking the lake read more
