Indoor
Victoria H.

PA house is a great place with such a good vibe in Hellertown. Indoor and outdoor is so cute. They are pet friendly outside. Food is always fresh and yummy and drinks are good. Tad pricey but def worth a visit.

This place is absolutely one of a kind. The staff is polite and kind. The owner notices you and greets you as well. It shows character.. the ambiance is beautiful and the decor really is chic. We have been here a few times and anything we have tried, hit the spot! Whipped ricotta Hamburger Brick over pizza Their specialty fries Hummus Donut things Affogato We look forward to bringing our friends there to share in the experience. !

Roasted Cauliflower

PA House is a wood fired kitchen & craft cocktail bar located on Front St. in Hellertown. They are open Wed - Thu 12 - 9PM, Fri - Sat 12 - 11PM, and Sun 12 - 9PM. The menu consists of small plates, salads, sandwiches, and pizza. I started with the PA House fries and roasted cauliflower. The fries were cooked perfectly and served with three delicious dipping sauces. The cauliflower was wood-fired and accompanied with romesco sauce. The appetizers were both satisfying, but the pizza was highly disappointing. I enjoy a light, airy crust, but this one was bland, had no crisp, and couldn't hold up any toppings. After sitting just a few minutes my pizza was a soggy, sloppy mess. If you're going to charge $19 for a personal pizza it better be amazing. This was far from amazing. Service was good and the restaurant is beautiful, but the food, more specifically the pizza, did not measure up. PA House has indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations recommended.

Food was really good. Wood fired pizzas were a fave. Service was quick and servers were attentive and pleasant. Ambience was relaxed and minimalistic with fun lighting.

The meat pizza
Jenae H.

Nice atmosphere and good apps and drinks but the pizza really isn't for me. We got a variety of the top suggested apps, the cheeses and fries, which were nice and salty which I like! The avocado, Pom and pear salad was good too but I forgot to swap out the goat cheese for something else. We tried 3 pizzas - a red sauce meat, and two white pizzas with artichoke and the other with arugula. As one reviewer noted, they were really floppy and doughy, no crisp at all. Just not my favorite. Also very $$$ for the size. The affogato with the vanilla gelato was divine! I want to try the half baked cookie and gelato since half baked seems to be their forte The service was great! I'd go back to try a sandwich and do the apps and dessert again, but I'd pass on the pizza.

Cacio e Pete fries
Abby F.

We sat outside, which was pleasant though a bit buggy. Our server was friendly, but service was quite slow, with the wine arriving after the food. The food itself was solid. The Cacio e Pepe Patate was the standout, a solid 8/10. The whipped truffle ricotta and shishito peppers were also good, both rating 7/10. The seasonal Bellini was sooo beyond good. Wine was nice too. However, the sea burger was disappointing--I wouldn't recommend it. Parking was easy with a lot right in front. Overall, good vibes with clean and trendy decor.

Very Good Fries - Cacio E Pepe Patate
Chris B.

This is a Hellertown 5 star joint. And 4 star if it was in Philly, so it's quite good! First visit was sitting at the bar, great service from the staff there and their drink making chops are on display. Quite busy on a super rainy Wed night, reservations are a must it seems. Food and drink was reasonably priced (wine per glass a touch high at $14 being an exception) and well executed. Loud inside so dining outdoors would be a good option, weather permitting. Staff was consistently attentive and upbeat. Looking forward to trying out the pizza game, the Neapolitan pies I saw others enjoying looked well executed. Recommended - but don't forget those reservations!

Burger

The food was okay, I got a burger and it was totally undercooked. I also got the pepperoni pizza, and the crust was completely burnt, the cheese kept falling off, the base of the pizza was so thin. The service was okay as well, when i got my pizza, they gave me no plates, i had to ask to get plates because i wasn't going to eat my pizza with a napkin.They gave me a drink with three cups and I had no idea how to make the drink, i had to ask someone how to make it because the server who gave me the drink didn't tell me how to drink it. The interior was very nice though, i loved the vibe of the place.

Five star French fries. Excellent burger. Service was SUPER friendly, which is the main reason for…read morethe high rating here, because no one wants bad service with the price of going out these days. Overall, the bill wasn't too expensive either. However, the ambience is majorly lacking for how cool the historical building looks from outside. That was a big let down after years of seeing this in passing. It feels too much like a 90s coffee shop from Friends / a poorly converted modern bank lobby with the lighting, and the floor layout lacks flow if you're sitting at the bar. It would be an improvement to see historic qualities restored to the interior, rather than bland sheet rocking, no crown molding, etc. Aside from this, we found the music to be a very distracting and random selection of early 2000s dance, pop, EDM, emo, and rock, mixed with the occasional alt rock hit that was (finally) tolerable enough to fade into the background. The room is vacuous because of the high ceilings and hard building materials, so turning the volume down a little and choosing something consistent in tone (perhaps neo soul or just sticking to alt rock) would be beneficial for the overall atmosphere. Bottom line: would return again for the food, but the atmosphere wasn't what we expected and could be improved for a cozier, vintage styled atmosphere (but that's mostly a matter of preference). Friendly service, affordable prices, and good eats go a long way.

You walk in, you are at the bar area,But, there is a hostess stand there if you are interested in grabbing a booth to order food. Which is what we have always done and is what we will now never do again because service from this 1 particular shorter waitress is awful. After she dropped our food to the table we didn't see her for an hour despite trying our best to flag her down and asking the other waitress to get her for us so we could have our bill. The owner was working harder than this waitress collecting our empty dishes,asked us if we needed anything, cleaning tables( our waitress removed a used empty glass when she seated us) and I have no clue where she went or what she was doing that while time that she failed to see if everything was okay, we needed anything/refills or were ready to the check. Instead, since my daughter is a regular, she gave us a tip to sit at the bar and order food. Service is much better. Every time we've gone there the food has always been good. This time I got a chicken philly cheesesteak and it was delicious also! Can't say much about the crowd. It's definitely a spot for the younger groups to hang out since the college is so close. The bad thing about that is that they don't respect you at your booth if you are in one just for food. They stand right in front of your table in groups talking and you have zero privacy and it's actually a bit suffocating. When they finally did all move for a moment, I could finally feel the air circulation. This was only around 5:30pm. Service- still awful Food- great Atmosphere- depends what you're looking for

The prices were high for what we got, especially the drinks. I paid $15 for a glass of wine that wasn't even filled halfway, which felt pretty disappointing.

My husband's wedge salad with grilled chicken was actually tasty, and the pierogies were probably the best part of the meal. One frustrating part was that I specifically asked for the pierogies to come out before our entrées, but they ended up arriving after we were already served. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, so I'm not sure how that happened. The place looks cool from the outside and was convenient for where we were going, but overall the experience didn't live up to expectations. With so many other options nearby, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

I asked to speak to the manager and promptly was greeted by Lee. He immediately said they were waiving the minimum as it wasn't entirely clear on the reservation system. He was awesome and took feedback from my wife and I. That's what great customer service is all about. The only thing keeping this from being a five star was the risotto was a bit bland.

But now, their meals have advanced to another plain. The grilled salmon was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, and with amazing rice and blistered tomatoes, it was an absolute treat. My girlfriend got a couple of small plates and she loved her meal as well. In the morning, we returned for brunch, which usually wasn't as good in the past. My girlfriend wanted scrambled eggs and bacon and fries. Since I was starving, I indulged in the beef poutine with onion gravy over fries and with an egg -- as well as the blistered tomatoes. Absolutely phenomenal (along with a great cappuccino). The flavors were truly incredible. Kimberly, the server who may be the best in town, took care of us, which only added to our experience. She is a stellar ambassador to ZEST. Reservations were fast and easy. Upon arrival (both times) we were seated immediately. The only strange thing had nothing to do with ZEST: Even within the restaurant, if you search for "brunch near me" or "breakfast near me," ZEST does not come up at all. That's a shame because many souls may be missing out on a fantastic experience.

I mentioned this and was told that's because many of the same craftsmen worked on this place too. Made me feel smart! If you go. Do yourself a favor and walk around a bit. The food was very tasty I think it is the only restaurant I've been in locally that didn't use excessive amounts of salt. A big plus. The mixed drinks were interesting and reasonably strong. I usually quaff mine down fairly rapidly, savoring the buzz during dinner and still safely driving home after. I had potato soup, which was very good, and Ming had Beet Carpaccio, which was thinly sliced seared root veggies with seasoning. I only had a bite because she wanted it all! Then came dinner. I had the ribeye, which was done so that it was seared one the outside to keep the flavor in and red (while being cooked thru, not an easy feat) and it's was flavored but not overly salty, were unusual. I ordered my usual Worcestershire sauce to clean off the extra salt, but hardly used any. Ming had the crab cake, which was the only negative of the meal. While not overtired or salty, there was a bit of a fishy smell. Not terrible, but off putting. Luckily for me, I don't like crab anyway so I didn't have any. The desserts were good, with a tasty chocolate cake and a peach cobbler that was good but could have had a bit of peach goo to moisten it a bit. The prices were very competitive considering the venue AND the quality of the food. The bar was hopping too because it looked like a great place to hang out with friends!

A huge shoutout to both Sundiata and Lou for their graciousness and hospitality skills. They along with the restaurant bartender tonight, Ashlynn, continue to make us feel like a home away from home. Having been here a few times and been to their restaurant, we highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors.
