Vishal P.

Cool spot. Wish I could come here more often. Nice location and an area to go for a walk in the spring/summer/fall. Has coffee truck out in the lot. Only a small parking spot in the back - street otherwise. Staff is friendly. Nice menu selection. Food is great. Different pizza varieties. Great apps to share.

Indoor

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. PA House Fries - 8.2 Roasted Cauliflower - 7.7 Diavola Pizza - 6.5 Margarita Pizza - 6.9 Food - 7.3 Service - 8.1 Value - 6.5 Restaurant score - 73

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!

Harvest Grain Salad
Esin A.

Harvest Grain Salad was delicious and roasted eggplant pizza with ricotta cheese and onions, was pretty good on our first trip to PA House. Restaurant was beautiful. Small cup cold brew coffee was good; also had PB Cookie from Flour Shop. It was nice to sit on one the seats they have outside to sip on coffee while eating cookie.

Last night I was in the Lehigh Valley and decided to dine at La Maya restaurant in Hellertown, PA…read more I was intrigued by reviews citing its tasty modern Mexican cuisine and excellent cocktails. La Maya did not disappoint! The ambience is dimly lit, and perfect for a romantic dinner. On the cocktails side, I tried "Señor Sal" - a dirty martini / Vesper riff featuring their proprietary gin and vodka, dry vermouth, pickled jalapeño, olive brine, and lemon infused olive oil. It was a visually attractive, delicious, and sturdy cocktail. Just what the doctor ordered! Later I tried the house margarita. It was balanced and refreshing. There are options to add flavorings to the house margarita spec for +$2 (e.g., Matcha Coconut, Spicy, Guava Mint, Caramelized Pineapple). My dinner companion tried the caramelized pineapple and loved it. On the culinary side, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. For an entree, I selected the Carne Nortena - a tequila-marinated ribeye with sauteed scallions, shisito peppers. The steak was cooked perfectly to temperature (medium-rare) and amazingly juicy. The roasted sweet potato wedges (Camote) were also outstanding. Don't forget dessert - the coconut flan was to die for! Service - I believe our server's name was Alex, was on-point. He was knowledgeable about both the food and beverages, and did not rush us. Thank you La Maya for a great evening. I will definitely return.

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!

We ordered a mix of appetizers, including the cheesesteak egg rolls, breaded mozzarella half moons, housemade G's sauce wings, and the grilled cheese with fries. Everything came out hot and fresh. The wings were the standout, great flavor with G's sauce, which is like a peppery hot sauce. It's not super spicy, but it does have a slight kick. The grilled cheese could've used more cheese, but overall, everything hit the spot. Fun place for a casual night out!

I was between 2 beers which they allowed me to sample since they were on draft and I went with the amber which was delicious. We were not sure what we wanted to eat so we did a few appetizers. The pretzels were ok. They were a little hard for our preference, but had good flavor with the cheese dip. Now the rest of the items we selected were absolutely delicious. My kids at up the bone marrow and we placed a 2nd order since it was so good. They didn't need the bread with the dish since they just enjoyed the marrow and the parsley type spread that came with it. The potato leek soup was also delicious and we really enjoyed it. The pierogies and kielbasa were selected with the fries and they were grilled well (to my preference - some may think it was over grilled). They had TV since some sports on and the restaurant was very clean. We had quick and great service when we were here. We sould come back for sure if we would be in the area just for the soup and marrow!

We made a reservation after giving the place a call a few hours beforehand and being advised it was a good idea. I didn't understand why, since we were almost the only people in there when we arrived--then, suddenly, ten minutes later it was packed! So the reservation was definitely a good idea. Despite how busy they were, our waiter was excellent and very attentive (I'm pretty sure his nickname was Shaq, he gave us his full first name but I completely blanked on it after a few pounders of Montucky's delicious brew). I had the pretzel bites and full-size Caesar salad, and it was more than enough food for me. My friends each got different items; the pierogies looked delicious (maybe it is obvious that I am a fan of appetizers; it's my favorite section of any restaurant menu). Some of us weren't able to finish everything, as the portions were much larger once you started on them than when first eye-balling them. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this visit. I was disappointed at first that my friends wanted to go somewhere other than where we'd been last time, but all concerns melted away once we got to our seats. Bethlehem Barrel & Drafthouse offers some cool atmosphere along with a good selection of drinks, both beer and liquor, and friendly service (thanks again, Shaq! And my apologies if I got your name wrong!).

After watching an athletic event at nearby Lehigh University, my dining companion and I stopped in…read morefor a late dinner at ZEST bar+grille and it proved to be the perfect conclusion to our day -- with an excellent ambiance, elevated cuisine, and stellar service. It's a terrific spot in downtown Bethlehem for a cocktail, a light bite, or a full meal with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Located on the 6th floor of the Gateway Building in downtown Bethlehem, the restaurant features an inviting atmosphere alongside phenomenal panoramic views of the arts district and the historic Bethlehem Steel site. Since we arrived later in the evening, we opted to split a selection of appetizers, including the Crab & Mango Spring Rolls ($14), a small plate of three spring rolls served alongside a tasty coconut curry remoulade; Crispy Chickpeas ($9), a phenomenal, very generously-sized bowl of slightly crisped chickpeas dusted with sea salt and vegan feta cheese; Root Beer Glazed Pork ($16), an absolute standout recommended by our server -- an incredibly tender filet of pork belly glazed with root beer gastrique, served alongside a crisp red cabbage slaw and grilled bread; and Grilled Broccolini ($8), which was cooked perfectly with just a slight char and topped with a generous amount of compound butter. The kitchen definitely knows what they're doing with additional points awarded for the tasty vegan/dairy free options on the menu.. Beyond the exceptional food and the spectacular backdrop, what truly stood out was the hospitality. Kudos to our server, John, whose spot-on recommendations and attentive care made our late-night visit feel completely unhurried and thoroughly enjoyable. Whether you're visiting Lehigh University or Penn State Lehigh Valley, catching an event at ArtsQuest or the Wind Creek Bethlehem Resort, or simply looking for an outstanding meal with one of the best views in the Lehigh Valley, ZEST delivers on every level. Highly recommended! PRO TIP: Parking for ZEST is available at the New Street Parking Garage (@ 324 South New Street). Park on Level 3, 4, or 5 of the garage and use the covered pedestrian bridge access into the Gateway Building, then take the building elevator straight up to the 6th floor where ZEST is located. When the weather is cooperative, you can park on Level 7 of the garage and use the open-air pedestrian bridge to walk directly to ZEST. The garage is only $3, but ZEST offers a 2-hour parking validation for guests.

We had the artisanal bread app which comes with 2 different flavored butters (my favorite was the lemon/citrus one. my husband liked the green, which i think may have been a pesto but I'm not sure.). Or also came with a delicious EVOO dip. Had our Cesar salads with THE BEST croutons I've ever had! And I do not normally eat croutons because they are usually way too hard and crunchy. Seriously, these croutons were the perfect blend of crispy outside & buttery inside, seasoned perfect. Next our meals. I ordered the mushroom risotto and added a side of shrimp. Was a bit disappointed that meant i only got 2 shrimp for the extra money. They were large shrimp, but i would've preferred medium shrimp & to have a few more instead. The egg in the risotto was odd to me, so I can't comment on that as I didn't eat it. But the meal was so flavorful & delicious! My husband got the pasta special of the day- chicken parm with pasta. Expecting a boneless piece of chicken, so image his surprise that it was a chicken quarter with bones. Not bad, just unexpected. He enjoyed his food as well. Staff was attentive & service was great. The patio was nice. I was glad we were seated towards the windows because of the huge spiders that are by the seats by the edge. Overall, although expensive, great experience & we would return.

Dining at Swift was truly exceptional. The food was outstanding, but what impressed us even more was the entire experience.

We spent the day exploring Historic Bethlehem, enjoying the charming shops and restaurants, then returned to what felt like a peaceful retreat. It was the perfect combination of a boutique hotel and a walkable, historic town. In a world where many places promise a luxury experience, the Wilbur Mansion quietly delivers something even better...an experience that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

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.
