    The best chili dog you can find in my opinion. I'm no chili…read moredog expert but have been to Yocco's and Willy Joe's many times, not to mention Pott's in Bethlehem,Jimmy's quick lunch in Hazleton, and Abe's & Ferris' Lunch in Wilkes-Bar. Rutt's Hut in Clifton NJ. And have had NY dogs and Chicago dogs in their respective cities...this slays them all. Of course, like pizza and wings and cheesesteaks etc, it comes down to what you're looking for in that particular genre. They nailed it here with the perfect combination of mustard onions and chili. Some places are stingy with the chili or pile on too many onions. Not Forest Inn. Perfect ratio. Maybe it is simply the care with which they are prepared? I don't know. But as a kid I would grab a chili dog from the Whitehall Mall (Allentown/Whitehall) at a place called Little Red Wagon. Just a wagon-like stand in hallway of mall. The chili dogs at Forest Inn remind me of those dogs. This spot is your classic dive bar. Typical characters you'd expect. Old school urinals. Jukebox that you can't play with your Touchtune/AMI app. Tons of Pennsylvania Skill games(more than I've ever seen at one bar) Seemed like a clean place though so no complaints. The real star of the show is the bartender/chef/manager Harry. He is on the ball! Super nice guy too. He has to serve all the patrons plus cook up all the food and keep non-patrons from using the restroom or just hanging out. He does it all with ease and is fun to talk to as well. I've been here twice already and will return for third time shortly. It's is 45 minutes from house so I can't go on a regular basis but they're so good I gotta make a trek there a few times a year. Give Forest Inn a try! You won't be disappointed.

    Good old-fashioned dive. The bartender is also the cashier, the cook, the waiter, and the greeter…read more He did all of them well. The place is walking distance to the Santander Arena and does not get as overcrowded as other places. It is completely unpretentious and very reasonably priced. The food is simple, old school bar food. It is an experience that I recommend. Get a couple of cheeseburgers and a chili dog, side of fries and some cheap drinks and leave happy.

    I came to Jet Set to see an artist, Kinito Mendez. I just moved to the area so I was excited to see…read morea Dominican artist in a small town. AMBIANCE: The front of the restaurant is pretty normal, they have a good amount of seating and a bar to sit at. You would never know there is a huge event hall attached in the back. The event hall is humongous, it has 2 bars available even though 1 was open for this night. Definitely a good place to have an event and not be too crowded. They had plenty of tables available and it didn't get too hot. SERVICE: We were met right away by a waitress who explained how the tables were working and led us to one. She was pretty attentive the entire night and answered all of my questions as this was my first time here. FOOD & DRINK: I throughly enjoyed the plate of picadera we got. We ordered the size for one person to share and it was plenty for 2 people. It came hot and fresh and was delicious. The drinks on the other hand were disappointing. The drinks were $12 each which I assume is up charged because there's a performance. I would assume for $12 I'm getting a nicely sized drink in a glass and it tastes good. We ordered 2 mojitos which you could tell was pre made in a big jar and just poured out. There wasn't any muddled mint or lime in the cup. It just tasted like lime sprite. I was really disappointed in that. They were also charging $165 for a bottle for the table which I thought was a bit much. So I know for next time to pregame at the house before going out there. PERFORMANCE: Kinito was great. I had so much fun! He came out at a good time, maybe 8PM and the event started at 6PM. I left after his first set so around 9:30PM. I'm assuming he had a second set since the event said it ended at 12AM but it was a Sunday night so I didn't want to stay too late. He was an amazing performer.

    The service here is horrible... Waited a few minutes to be greeted by anyone ... the waitress got…read moremy lady and i our drinks. Took our order and we haven't seen her since. NO exaggeration , it has been over 1hr since our orders have been placed. Another party of 5-6 come in and they got their food very quickly. Beyond befuddled and highly upset. Highly highly upset. If I could give it half a star I would. SMFHHHHHHHHHHH.
