    Hey everyone! This video is Part 1 of our Saturday adventure. Recommended by "The Crewmen" from Outside the Box Live. I was here back in I believe 2018 so with his recommendation I came back. I started out with a cup of their chili, I am not going to say it was spicy, because in my opinion it wasn't. I will say it had a lot of flavors to warm you up on a cold day. The chili was packed with lots on meat, onions, beans, and tomatoes. I really loved this to a point when I make it back there, I am getting a bowl. Now, for the "Uptown". It was a hot sub with pastrami, cheese, and Cole Slaw. There was a dressing taste, but I couldn't tell if it was from the dressing in the slaw or something else. Regardless very delicious also. Oh, and they have great tasting pickles. If you have not been here, or it's been a while like me, come back and get a great sandwich or a cup of chili.

    The sandwich's are so delicious and fresh!!! The pickles are the best!! And I am not a pickle person but I think about them often!

    Mac salad
    Kilsis J.

    There is plenty of parking. When we got there they were busy, I got the grilled cheese, it was okay. The chilli dog was tasty however the actual hotdog was hard to eat because of the casing, not sure what it was, never had a hotdog like that. The mac salad was eh, my boyfriend liked his pickle sandwich. The staff was really nice, this place is busy so maybe their sandwiches are better. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the food.

    Legend Philly
    Michael W.

    This was our first time eating here. We were traveling from out of state and this place was highly recommended. I will say we were definitely NOT disappointed at all. I got a Legend Philly and added sweet peppers and mushrooms and it has real cheez whiz on it. It was the best steak sandwich I've had anywhere. My wife got an Italian style sub and an antipasto salad. We ate half the food there and then took the rest to go. It was just as good the next day. The flavors are so good and work well together. You a tell this place takes pride in their food and their service. The service alone was extra extraordinary. We would truly drive to Kingston for the sole purpose of eating here. You can't get any better.

    Buffalo chicken sub

    KJ's pickle barrel has amazing pickles- the name of this place should say just that. I went there for a quick lunch. My sandwich was delicious, my group got some other great selections off the menu there's many options to choose from. It's clean, has a variety of drink flavors from the fountain. I had buffalo chicken with some spicy sauce It still wasn't extremely spicy for me as the cashier was concerned lol. This place is worth checking out and don't forget to taste the pickles!!

    Mango Habanero Chicken Cheesesteak
    Billy B.

    Delicious! While visiting the area I stopped in with my family and was able order the Mango Habanero Chicken Cheesesteak special with a bowl of their homemade chicken noodle soup. The bread here is so fresh and soft. You can tell it's all made from scratch with the freshest of ingredients. The only feedback is I feel like the spice could definitely be brought up a few notches, but I also have a high heat tolerance so that might just be me. There's plenty of seating if you'd like to hang out with your family to enjoy your sandwich. I definitely will be returning once I'm back in town.

    Indoor seating

    Great food, good prices, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely eat here again!

My friend and I both felt as great as the food and architecture are, the service was outstanding. Not only did our hostess and waitress demonstrate a conviction and pride of the brand that they represented but they were friendly and engaging. If I lived 100 miles closer. I'd be there at least once a week to expand my waistline. We were also greeted by insistent manager, whose name I shamefully do not recall. She also demonstrated pride in the establishment and serving its customers. Although it's quite a ways from home, I have no doubt that I will be back until then. I will look forward to it.

From start to finish, the food was outstanding. We began with the Stracciatella soup and mussels, which were both absolutely out of this world, followed by a salad that was just as impressive. For our entrées, we enjoyed the shrimp tacos, which were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the aged steak, which was cooked to perfection and truly top-notch. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't resist dessert. We shared the limoncello cake with cappuccino, and, like everything else we had, it was exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the owner couldn't have been more gracious. He's clearly passionate about making this restaurant a success, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. As a thoughtful surprise, our dessert and cappuccinos were complimentary. It certainly wasn't expected, but it was a very kind and professional gesture that we genuinely appreciated. If you're anywhere in the Wilkes-Barre area--or even if you're farther away--Diamond City Vault is absolutely worth the trip. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I returned a week later with my wife and she also said that it was s very comfortable place. The staff took so much pride caring for the patrons.
