Was looking for dinner after a day at Steamtown. This place was what I was near, and BBQ sounded…read moregood. I did not come to drink any Ale tho, so I can't comment on that aspect. We waited at the front a couple of minutes which was okay considering they seemed busy, but then some party entered and were attended to right away. We basically just followed that party because I overheard the there wwer only tables in the outdoor patio. We were able to establish contact with wait staff out there and so it began. Staff was friendly but service was slow. We were waited on by about 4 different persons, which was a little confusing, but if that what it takes to get served, then fine. Again, I am guessing they were understaffed. We ordered some BBQ ribs which were quite good but the half rack was small IMO. They have nothing on Kansas City, but it was still pretty good. They appear to BBQ their meats on the premises. Ambiance was okay, fine for BBQ and beer. If I lived in Scranton, maybe this place would be on the list of options, IDK.

Don't come here on Wing Night Wednesday…read more. We made the mistake of coming here on wing night. We got our appetizer, chips and dip. Chips were homemade and burnt... 3/10. Dip was fine, probably out of a packet. Little did we know those burnt chips would be the only thing we would be eating for an hour with little to no refills. Seemed to be forgotten about with us being inside and I guess everyone else in the back. After an hour, our food came out. I got the brisket tacos, they were good. 8/10. My table got a chicken cheesesteak and ask for no mushrooms and ofc it came out with mushrooms... We had to get the wings, the wings were good! An hour wait good? No. 7/10. It took a weird amount of time for our last entree to come out and it was just like chicken tenders on a bun, no love. Oh and the pulled pork sandwich was more like slop. Our waitress's excuse was that they had a new chef. Sooooo I guess they decided to start training this chef during service. Food - 8/10 Service - 5/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Overall - 6/10

I didn't know about the following until after parking in an area public parking deck and walking to the theater only to be told that I could not bring in my purse. Here's an excerpt from their website. Even NYC theaters don't hassle you like this place. Doubt I'll be back. "Only wristlets or wallets up to 4" x 6" x 1" or clear bags up to 12" x 12" x 6" are permitted and will be inspected by our security team. This policy will be enforced. The following items are prohibited in the Scranton Cultural Center and patrons will be turned back to their cars at security screenings if prohibited items are brought to the theatre. Please check your pockets in pants/coats to ensure you do not miss the performance due to bringing one of these items: Purses (Then a whole bunch of other stuff that is just common sense is listed.) Please have your pockets empty and coats open for inspection by our team prior to approaching them." I wonder what prompted such a policy.

They can and will refuse to serve you and/or eject you from the premises if they don't like your presence. SERIOUSLY. It doesn't matter if you're stone cold sober, not drinking, or by yourself just enjoying the music. If the door person doesn't like your appearance, the waitstaff are alerted not to serve you, ignore you or ask you to leave. No questions asked. Ha hahaha! The joke is on YOU, like, "We have your money, loser! Congratulations! You just paid $$$ (cover charge) for public humiliation, guilty or not guilty and in this pathetic small town, you'll be remembered for years! Think of it as an Amusement Tax"! Embarrassing and just WRONG. I was warned about this place before but I didn't think it would happen to me... Well, It did. I will NEVER step foot in that dump again. Now you've been warned. Enough said.
