    Served with 2 Eggs, Homefries and Toast and Scrapple

    Food very good, waitress very good as well. I have not eaten Scrapple in quite some time, and I was cooked to perfection.

    Nothing spectacular. The food was just okay. I have been to way better diners. The waitress was nice. I personally wouldn't revisit.

    Cute diner that is perfect for breakfast. I ordered a chicken fried steak that was not on the menu. The portion is on small side to other restaurants with the same dish. The country gravy is really good though! Very meaty. The hashbrowns were very bland. Some of the potatoes tasted a little undercooked. My son loved the chicken and waffles. The tenders were very juicy. Waffle was on the softer side. The corn beef hash was okay. Not the best or worst we've ever had.

    Mickey Mouse pancakes a winner for the kids. Bacon is just right not to crispy or floppy. Loving the crinkle style fries they serve.

Hubby's breakfast was delicious! Too big to eat! Great Bloody Mary! Service was great! Must do in the Pocono!!

    Our party of 12 (six adults and six teenagers) dined at Jubilee on steak night. We expected a wait,…read moreand 45 minutes for a group our size seemed reasonable. Once seated, we were greeted promptly with water and our server took our initial drink, appetizer, and dinner orders without issue. The appetizers arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but after that, the service began to decline. We had to ask twice just to order a second round of drinks. When the entrees arrived, everyone at the table received their meal except me. The server asked if everyone had their food, and I told her that I was still waiting for my Steak Frites special. She checked her order book, said something, and walked away. Unfortunately, no one returned to update us. After waiting another 10 minutes, I encouraged the rest of my family and friends to begin eating so their meals wouldn't get cold. When there was still no update, I flagged down another server, who said they would check with the kitchen. A few minutes later, they returned and said they weren't sure what had happened but that my meal was being prepared. After another 10 minutes passed, I asked to speak with a manager. I was told there wasn't a manager available and that they understood my frustration. By this point, it was nearly 9:30 p.m., my entire table had nearly finished eating, and I still hadn't received my dinner. When my steak finally arrived, it wasn't what I had ordered. I had ordered the NY Strip Steak Frites special but instead received a 10-ounce sirloin. Again, the explanation was simply that they weren't sure what had happened--perhaps another guest had received my order or there had been a mistake in the kitchen. To the restaurant's credit, they removed my steak from the bill. However, what disappointed me most wasn't the mistake itself--it was the lack of communication and customer service. Throughout the entire situation, no one came back to provide updates, apologize directly, or offer a meaningful resolution. In fact, my server never spoke to me directly about the issue after realizing there had been a problem; I learned my meal had been removed from the bill through another member of our party. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, especially on a busy night. What leaves a lasting impression is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, while the food we did receive was good, the customer service fell well short of what I expected.

It is a unique; concept that I never imagined the food to be delicious, and honestly didn't know what to expect, as my first impression was it was mainly for kids; until I read the omlet review. Needing a place for an early dinner, after stopping at Walmart and Cambelback Resort, to do the mountain coaster...on went my YELP search for local places. Pocono Rocks& Little Rock Cafe, received higher ratings and something important, when your a YELP Elite a long time . The ambiance was overall welcoming, not noisy at all with the kids inflatables, and rock climbing next to cafe..Keep in mind, I was there this past Sunday after 4 pm. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and in my opinion went above and beyond. The cafe side had cute, charsmatic signs, by the front area , near the register. Later, found out the story with there meaning, from chatting with the owner. Farm to fresh, everything made from scratch, food and bake goods. I ordered the 3 egg omlet, your choice of meat and veggies, came with home fries and toast. To go, I ordered the pierogi's; little different then I'm used too, as I am Polish. They even had a full size kitchen, where the omlet was one of the best. These pierogi's had cheddar cheese onion and green pepper. They were still filling and tasty, and decent size.Overall, yet another memorable, delicious experience for me supporting a local business. I'm sure it can get busy at times with mix of parties, kids and the cafe. Step out of the ordinary cafe, dining experience, and do stop in; you won't be sorry. The owner was a pleasure to chat with, and would stop back in ,when in town for food again. Don't let a cafe/ bounce/ rock climbing space; deter your decision , to stop in and check out the food and space in general .

    What a unique space! My kids loved hanging out there for about 1.5 hours. They loved the bouncy…read morehouses with slides, the climbing wall, and the few arcade games. (The ducks game is bonkers! You'll leave with 15 ducks. It was the most generous claw game I've ever experienced.) The space isn't frilly. There are folding tables and chairs throughout to drop your stuff or have some food. It's neat to have the kitchen and cafe such a part of the experience, too. I could see spending even more time here with my family. Crossing the street is tough. Try to park on the side of the facility.

    The best place in town, it might be the only decent restaurant in the area. We stayed at Great Wolf…read morefor the weekend. There was no way I would be spending $30 a person for a buffet meal. I did it the first day and good was awful. So I looked to a good place to eat outside the Resort. So I found Barley Creek Restaurant. Katie was our waiter for the Saturday morning breakfast. The breakfast was amazing! And the service impeccable! I have never eaten such a good breakfast at such a good price in a vacation location. We came back for dinner the same day. They were packed and looked overwhelmed with the amount of customers. There was a 45min wait time but is was worth it. Just a little hiccup with the special ST Patrick special dish, the Hawaiian Walu, that came with orzo instead of risotto but the chef himself cane out of the kitchen apologizing and bringing to my wife a properly cooked risotto. Very professional and very much appreciated. The manager was very helpful again when my sons burgers came with the wrong cheese, and she took care of it herself! Thank you very much for a great experience! We will be back at lunch on Sunday. We really want to try out the lunch menu before leaving the Resort. Great job! Exceptional restaurant!

There's a drink to-go section and a gift shop section. The bar is a decent size. The ipa is good. The Strawberry Rose drink is not great. Would not order again. Menu said 7.50 but we were charged $11 for it. It's non-alcoholic. Sooo not worth it. Definitely do not recommend it. To start, we ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Burger. It's $22 and SO worth it. It's juicy and flavorful. This is the best cheesesteak burger we have had! Better than most cheesesteak sandwiches lol. Would definitely order again. The potatoes were also good / like potato chips. Nicely salted. For a dessert type dish - we ordered the Oreo stuffed French toast. We would not order this again nor recommend. It did not look like the pictures displayed around (of course!). The Oreo part of it was delicious. The French toast itself was on the dry side and tough to cut through / figure like cutting through stale bread. Otherwise, it would have been delicious. Did not need syrup as it was definitely sweet enough already. Our server, Tony, was very friendly, social, and attentive. Great service. 10/10 I also ended up buying a sweatshirt. It caught my eye lol. Next time we're in the area, we would try the French Onion Burger. :) And maybe some brunch items.
