The Donkey is back! I had to copy my review from the old closed listing, so please continue reading…read morebelow. What's old is new again. Again. Now, it's just "The Donkey." Jojo left and new owners are taking us back in a time to the original Donkey. Open merely a week and a limited menu, but I was only coming here for wings anyway. Got 10 mild and garlic parm boneless bites. The mild sauce would be considered hot anywhere else. Super tasty. Garlic parm was not overpowering and quite perfectly balanced. Highly recommend both. We also tried the chicken empanadas and they were super tasty along with the two dipping sauces. So glad this off the beaten path restaurant and bar has reopened. Can't wait to come back. I did come back 8/5 and had another amazing time on bite night. Delicious!

Situated on the corner of Main & Plane St in Avoca, this is your typical local bar...butwith great…read morefood. There is not a whole lot of parking, but the locals park pretty much anywhere they can fit in. Their pizza is probably the best fried pizza in Northern Luzerne County. There is better in lowere Luzerne County in the Wilkes Barre and Dallas areas, but for this far up...this is top notch. First... a tray of pizza is 14 cuts, but they do sell a half tray of 7 cuts. You must order onions for additional flavor. Their sauce is pretty good, although I did note a little more oregano in it this time, which I am not a fan of, but it was still really good. I always get 1 to 2 trays to take home with me when I am in town. The Buffalo hot wings are the absolute best! The celery was so fresh, and the blue cheese dressing was chunky, tangy, and fresh and was the perfect accompaniment to the spicy, but not too spicy, wings. Hubby is a wing FREAK, and he has to have these wings every time we visit the area as soon as we hit town!

I've never been to this bar before but everyone raves about the pizza so I thought I'd try it. We…read moreplaced an order over the phone for takeout on a Saturday night around 7:00. The expected wait time like maybe 30 minutes and it was ready when we came to pick it up. The bar is VERY small, there's no doubt that this is just a hole in the wall, neighborhood bar, you could tell this is a tight-knit community in here, because when we walked in, everyone was staring at us. The bartender who brought us out our food seemed...off. She was pleasant but since we weren't paying customers who would be sticking around, we didn't exist to her. When we brought the food home, I was initially disappointed in the size of the pizzas. They were very small, especially for the price they are, I could probably pay the same and get more food elsewhere. The basic sauce tray was just OK. The sweet sauce tray was TOO SWEET. SO strange, this was almost like a dessert pizza, even the dough seemed sweet. HOWEVER, the tastes grew on me. And the size was deceiving because I found myself getting full after a few slices. Would I return? A solid maybe. I would stay for drinks and maybe order a pizza for myself and others to share, because these trays are meant FOR THE BAR, not meant to be enjoyed at home. Would I do take out again? No, order pizza elsewhere.

Today we tried the potato pancakes and the half cheesecake with five wings combo. Those potato pancakes were among the best I ever had and half cheesesteak was absolutely delicious.
