We found this place because I was looking for somewhere I could get a beer and walk out and around the town of Jim Thorpe (I believe they allow it here). But ended up staying for the vibes and plus we were super hungry. I wish I remembered our waitresses name but I believe she had pink in her hair. She allowed me and my girlfriend to sample some beers that she thought we would like because we were hesitant and what to order. We got the sangria sour beer and the white ale which were perfect for us. We also saw online that everyone loved the smash burger so we had to try it. We added truffle fries for 3 dollars which was so worth it. Some of the best fries we have ever had. Also I think we decided it was the best smash burger we have ever had. We both have never tried bacon jam and we were a bit hesitant about the pimento cheese as well. I think my favorite moment from this trip was sitting at the bar here and eating this meal. Plus the burger lived up to the hype. Thank you to the waitress we had you made our day!

By far the best meal we had during our three days/nights in Jim Thorpe…read more Six of us dined at Ouros and all six of us absolutely loved our meals. I had the mushroom swiss burger and it was absolutely fantastic. The burger was phenomenal. I also had the Lemon Drop, and it was delicious. Our server was very nice and accommodating. We had two children with us and our server was kind enough to make sure that the kids had their meals as soon as they were done being prepared. My daughter had the black bean quesadillas and loved them. There isn't a kids menu but they do have multiple options (off menu) that they'll make for kids who can't find anything that they want on the regular menu. Excellent place; if I'm back in Jim Thorpe I'll absolutely go back!

Definitely the best value restaurant in town. My entire family goes here all the time, and the owners are super cool! They always have a huge beer selection with new things on tap every week.

After having our GPS take us a ways around we got to Union Publik House and there were regulars in there already. There's a few tables and we were greeted warmly and since we were a group of five, took the larger table in the back by the kitchen. Our server was also friendly and helpful. He recommended the burgers but said just about everything we would order would be good and he was right. My wings were big and tasty, the burger we ordered was cooked as requested, the Ceasar salad was good but the chicken add-on was a bit overdone and dry, the other salad with add-on salmon was a nice big piece of fish that was quickly eaten, and the BBQ sandwich my kid had was gone in what seemed like seconds. We started with some mozzarella sticks which were fine, the pirogies were better than fine, and the homemade chips with salsa were also quickly eaten. Drinks were canned sodas at $3 each and I also had an unsweetened ice tea for the same price. I think you'll also like UPH for your lunch or dinner. We'd come back. $125 total including tax and tip for five people.

The only setback was the amount of time that we had to wait for our food.

As you're meandering your way through Jim Thorpe, don't hesitate to make a stop at The Mad Hatter.

It was just an overall weird experience, felt like we were teleported into the show, "Kitchen…read moreNightmares" or "Bar Rescue". The staff seemed polite, expressing their apologies for the wait times. The staff insists that "it's well worth the wait," but the real question is: is waiting over an hour for food truly worth it? After placing our breakfast order around 10:40 AM, we eagerly anticipated a plate of fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon, but alas, time marched on. In fact, it marched so slowly that I'm convinced we slipped into an alternate universe, where time doesn't exist and food is just a mythical creature. By 11:45 AM, we were staring at the menu again, now featuring lunch items, and questioning whether breakfast is merely a figment of our imaginations. To make matters worse, the entire experience felt like a tourist trap--no pun intended--where dreams and appetites go to die. You know it's bad when you start contemplating whether the short stack of pancakes and omelet you ordered actually requires a passport to arrive. So, if you're looking for a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal that may or may not arrive before dinner service, this gem is for you. But for me? I'll be sticking to an actual looking glass, where at least I know the reflection of my breakfast is not just a cruel joke. Never again. Nope. Edit** we walked down the road to Antonio's pizza, the place was packed but managed to find one empty table. Upon sitting down our order was taken within 2min. Our food then took 10min until it came out. We were blown away! Antonio's for the win!

A nice bar is also a seating option. Service was prompt and friendly. The rustic vibe of an old fire house is pretty cool. The drink menu has a nice selection of local PA craft beer and specialty cocktails. The food menu had a variety of offerings to choose from. We started off with the pickle balls, which were bits of pickle and cream cheese deep fried. The basket of fries with their house made smoked ketchup was good. Our group ordered sandwiches and were pleased. The Porchetta (pork, with cooper cheese) and the Rueben. All came with chips and a pickle. Everything was very flavorful and nice portion size. We will definitely return.

It doesn't seem like you can go wrong with the menu, but from what we had I'd recommend the Bavarian pretzels, French onion soup (better than I've had in very legit French restaurants), fish and chips, and pulled pork sandwich.

Three of us ordered Thai chicken and my wife ordered the Bangkok bowl. The ingredients were fresh and carefully selected, as the dish had a slightly sweet curry sauce on it. The chicken thigh was on top of a bed of short grain brown rice appropietly cooked for the dish. Veggies such as broccoli and eggplant were around the edges. The Bangkok bowl was slightly different as the samosas had a fair amount of heat to them. The waiter recommended mixing them with the rice and fried chickpeas, which worked well. For dessert, the rose and cardamom coffee glee had little rose flavor. I asked and they said it was infused as well as the garnish on top, but I failed to taste it. Ditto for the chocolate orange ganache, in which I could not taste the orange flavor. No points lost, the deserts were still better than average, not too sweet. Service was very good, the waiter loved to inform us of what to expect. Also, it was a good place for four of us to sit at a table and enjoy a conversation.

She had the salad with salmon, the salmon was delicious but they went a bit heavy with the dressing on the salad. The only downside is the wait times, very long to get sat, even for folks who did have reservations, and then a very long wait for the food, for getting the bill, etc. likely just a bit understaffed but something to be mindful of if you're in a rush. It was a bit pricier than I would have expected but not horrible. Overall a very nice spot for a date night.
