I ordered a half rack of ribs, side of mac and cornbread. OMG. The ribs were tender, with an amazing dry rub and BBQ on the side. They were a nice size with a great smoke flavor. Speaking of smoke, next time I go, I'm getting the bucket of mac. Creamy, smokey, spoons full of comfort. Finally the cornbread. Probably one of the best cornbreads I've ever had; it is more in line with a pound cake. I could eat an entire loaf. Smooth and sweet. I got my order to go. Great customer service!

I've been here.... back in 2021/2022. I was driving up to Wilkes for WHATEVER reason and it was…read moreearly April. I recognize the inside, the deck and the smoker outside. I was on 309 North and passed it (it was on the left hand side). So, I pull a u-ey (is that how one abbreviates U turn). I was excited because I saw the smoker outside with a ton of smoke coming out of the chimney. I go in, order a full rack of ribs (why not? There was that smoker outside pumping out smoke). I was SO disappointed by how hard the ribs were. They were not tender AT ALL. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I definitely have had WAY better ribs. I would not recommend this place. Update: owner responded with sincere intentions. I WILL give these guys a second try. I'll post the results afterwards.

The Italian cold cut had delicious good quality meat and the cheesesteak sandwich hit the spot and one of the best I've had in awhile. All sandwiches came with chips and a drink, so great price and amazing sandwiches. It's kind of hard to find. I think it's in an old social hall and behind a bank that the now a cafe, so keep your eyes out so you don't miss it on the side of an old brick building.

How the hell does this place have such a bad rating on Yelp? What's wrong with these reviewers?…read more These are some of the -best- wings I've had in Luzerne county. Fried perfectly, pretty big, juicy, tasty. Pub-style wings have just the right amount of coating. Outside of wing nights, prices won't wow you, but they're still comparable to other restaurants of similar quality. I think every sauce I've tried has been good to great. My only complaint is I still don't know what half of them are and find myself asking constantly what "Melly" or "Hillbilly" means. Maybe throw some descriptions up on the website? Other than wings, their burgers have been pretty good whenever I've ordered them. The pizza seems to be of quality ingredients and made with care--it's just not of a style of pizza I'm personally a big fan of. The fries aren't anything to write home about and could use an upgrade, but they're cheap when ordered à la carte and plenty palatable with wing sauce or even just salt & vinegar. Can't speak to anything like seafood or the other specials they sometimes do. Waitstaff have always been attentive, friendly, and genuine. There's been a couple of nights that seemed to be busier than usual where service was a bit slow, but it wasn't a big deal. Beer selection isn't on the level of places focused on craft beer that have dozens of taps, but you can generally find something that'll pair well with your food on draft. There's also more variety in their bottled and canned beer. I've no insights on any of the drinks other than beer, though some of the cocktails have sounded pretty tasty. Ambiance has been fine. I typically have visited in the afternoon or early evening, so I've never seen anyone get overly rowdy. It does still look a little like a dive bar inside depending on where you're looking, but nothing's dirty, unsightly, or broken. Can't speak to how the bar is later at night since I'm mainly there to eat, not socialize or drink. First time coming here? Get all of your wings done pub-style and consider the house sauce, which I believe is garlic & sweet Thai chili (though I've never really noticed if it was spicy at all). If you come with a big group, maybe split a pizza too just to see if it's up your alley. Bring cash for a discount. edit: just checked Google Maps and this place has a 4.4 rating average with 177 reviews. Some of the ratings here also predate the opening of MT Pub?? There's a reason I stopped using Yelp, I guess.

We started with the French onion soup, which was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. They also brought out fresh warm bread with raspberry butter, a standout touch that was absolutely delicious. For entrées, the pulled pork sandwich was fantastic, and their burgers were equally impressive -- juicy, well‑seasoned, and cooked just right. The braised beef risotto is truly to die for, packed with deep flavor and perfectly creamy. The 1/2 rack BBQ ribs were excellent as well, tender and smoky, served with fresh French fries that rounded out the plate perfectly. Service was top‑notch. Our waitress checked on us multiple times, making sure we had everything we needed and creating a genuinely welcoming experience. Overall, Powerhouse Eatery is a great spot with consistently delicious food and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant was staged beautifully and decorated for a between-the-holidays meal, and even though it was packed there was only a low undertone of voices from the surrounding tables. Our waiter was fantastic and gave honest, informed suggestions that showed great menu knowledge. The cocktails were creative, well-balanced and refreshing; we tried the pomegranate cosmo, winter maple old fashioned, mistletoe mule, holiday margarita, and butterscotch espresso martini. The whipped ricotta and poached pear crostini really stood out and was an incredible way to begin the meal, but don't sleep on the bacon wrapped scallops. I could have eaten a bowl of that sweet corn puree and even though it's a party favorite, the smokey/sweet bacon/scallop combo was even more crisp/tender than most their kind. For entrees, we rattled off some Chilean sea bass (w/ citrus beurre Blanc), linguine and clams, and spicy chicken pappardelle, finishing with a few lunges at their Classic House Made, original 1989 recipe, Peanut Butter Pie. Normally my fiance and I split our entrees; unfortunately, I couldn't come up from the Sea Bass long enough to even offer her a bite. It was really a wonderful sauce, and a perfect amount to swirl around in the risotto. I was able to score the remainder of the clam linguine as leftovers, and even heated up in the microwave two days later it still qualified as a top three clam linguine dish I've ever had; buttery, lemony, garlicky goodness.

I did really enjoy the nitro pumpkin ale, one the only pumpkin beers that's stood out in the last handful of yrs. Food wise it's a very comprehensive menu. I ended up opting for the smoked wings and had no regrets. Good flavor, tender and of decent size. Sauce wise the "hot" was different, not quite buffalo but more tangy. The mustard based bbq sauce was nice as well. Only minor gripe was the number of small fruit flies buzzing around. I'd go again if in the area no question.
