    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.

    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.

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.

It is definitely a college town bar (I'm in my early 50's). The bartender was prompt and took our drink orders right away. The cook is right in front of you at the bar which is kind of cool. You could tell by speaking with him that he took pride in their menu. He let us sample some of the sauces which was great. I had the special of the day which was a grilled tomato/bacon cheese on Texas toast and a tomato soup with rice, ground beef, onions and peppers. It was fantastic! I also had the Cowboy bites which were jalapeños with cream cheese, bacon and corn - my goodness they were so good! My bro had the "what came first". Fried chicken sandwich with a fried egg and bacon. It came with fries and he said it was really good. My husband had Tri-tip cheese steak with no mushrooms. He said it was delicious. We were there on our own time without a schedule, so we didn't mind having to wait for our bartender. It started getting busy while we were there so the vibe was pretty cool. We will definitely be going back!

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

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.

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 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.
