    $1 oysters on Wednesday
    Penny C.

    ALL things top rated! Our anniversary and birthday in one celebration meal. Stellar service, life-changing lobster (LOL), decadent dessert. GO!

    Devin provided excellent service. We love this restaurant. Great food and a cool atmosphere. We visited the PE on Sunday for an early dinner. We started with the meatballs. They were delicious but could have been a little hotter in temperature. I had the prime rib with green beans and fry's. The rib was cooked perfectly. Ended with the strawberry- rhubarb cobbler. If you are in the White Haven area, stop in for a delicious meal.

    Positives: Great ambiance and an awesome drink menu. Negatives: my issue is that they need more wait staff. Our waiter was handling inside and outside tables. We were a party of 6 with a 7pm dinner reservation. We were ten min early, but were seated immediately. Drinks were ordered and came out after 20 minutes. We ordered appetizers which condidted of soups, wedge salads and oysters. It goes downhill from here. We were brought bread for the table at 7:45. Appetizers came out a little bit after that and they were very good. Entrees came out at 8:40 and we were one of the few customers left in the restaurant. I ordered a crab crowned filet mignon. Flavor was ok, but the food looked and tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp. It was cold in the edges and warm in the center. Seasonal vegetables were green beans which were cold and I ordered a rice pilaf which appeared to be white rice with diced carrots. Not what I imagined for rice pilaf. I ate the steak, but not much else. Dessert was great. We had creme brulee. There seems to be a staffing issue as our waiter was all over the place. After finishing my drink and 2 glasses of water I sat empty until the food arrived at which point, the water was filled and I had to initiate to ask for a 2nd drink. I would give this place a 2nd chance but it's a 45 minute drive to gamble with a 2nd experience. But they definitely need to fix whatever staffing issue they had because that experience was not worth $200 a couple.

    This is our third trip here and as always the food was wonderful! Our only issue was not prepared to spend almost two hours there and over an hour for our food. Our waiter was great! Upbeat and always on the move! It seemed he was the only waiter there so maybe that contributed to the pace. The food is totally worth the wait! We will always recommend and continue to come here!

    I ate here weeks ago & still think about these delicious crab cakes. Those potato's were INSANE. Also our waiter was very sweet and attentive. Beautiful establishment & very professional staff.

    Very dark road to the area but amazing interior. Waiters were nice and attentive but the food took close to an hour to come out. Love their bread and their specialty butter. Delicious and keeps you wanting more. The stuffed mushrooms were a great appetizer to start off. Great flavors. 5/5 The duck was a hit and miss. In general the cook was great. Needed more sauce but the not all the fat was rendered well so you ended up with a few super chewy pieces that becomes unpalatable. Considering how few pieces it's a shame. 2/5 Overall it was an ok experience. Might have had better luck with a different main.

    The food was really good! I ordered the balsamic fig pork chop and it was delicious! Ordered it medium and it was nice and tender. The service was good. I loved the powerhouse ambiance with the brick walls and pipes hanging.

    We've been wanting to go to powerhouse for a while and finally got to dine there. I was hoping to be blown away which seemed far fetched! Service was just ok and the food was mediocre. I'd say the burrata salad was the best part of our meal.

    12 ounce New York Strip Steak
    Louis A.

    The Powerhouse Eatery is one of the best places to get a high end (meaning expensive) meal in the area. The ambiance of a power house was very cool. I had the 12 ounce NY Strip with fries and green beans. The service was great even though Karen was overloaded with tables. The fries were delicious and the green beans were cooked to perfection. My steak, while cooked as I ordered and flavorful, was covered with a reduction sauce that masked the poor cut of meat. For a rib eye it would have had an excessive amount of fat, however for a Strip steak I felt it was unacceptable. The reduction hid large chunks of inter muscular fat that ruined the bite. My dinner companions had the pork and another also had the strip. Both seemed to be very happy with their meal so my steak may have just been a poor cooks selection.

    They got the "I-tis "...well worth it.

    So, have you been? To this strangely situated restaurant on a lonely road off the 80 Hwy at exit 273? If you haven't been, read this review closely. Then read it again. And make this a spot you frequent. It ain't cheap - but, surprisingly not too expensive. If have you been, then you KNOW I'm right. If you have yet to stop by Powerhouse Eatery - let these words move and entice you to get over to POWERHOUSE EATERY sooner than later. Trust. It's worth it. And this is why... I hadn't been to a steakhouse in years. Reason being they were usually a let down. I know steakhouses - in several states. So it's been... interesting. Happily this was not. This was solid. When we arrived we - after driving through the dark road to get there. The building is very cool. Very Americana. There's plenty of parking. So never a worry. My party arrived and were quickly seated. The hostess was very nice. When seated the runner approached us to let us know what flavor infused butter was being offered today. It was accompanying the basket of warm, crusty bread. Today's butter flavor was Peaches and Cream. It was very subtle. The server introduced himself - DEVIN - and recommended the Wyndridge Apple Cider (going with what is on the menu) I ordered 3 of the ciders and asked for a shot of bourbon to accompany each cider. Take note that it is served cold. I thought the cider would make a great hot toddy. But, it was super delicious cold with the bourbon side. Then it began... We started our experience with Goat Cheese/Crostini appetizer as well as the crispy pork belly. They were each a home run. All I kept thinking was...what's up next? Devin spoke to the soups offered today. A French Onion and a Mushroom Soup. I ordered one each of the soups for us to share. Well, BOTH SOUPS were also amazing! The people in my party also enjoyed them. Came time to order entrées... My two guests both ordered the 4oz filet mignons. Both were accompanied by the baked potato as well as Haricot Verte (French Green Beans) I ordered the NY Strip Steak w/ a Peppercorn Sauce, mashed potatoes and Heirloom Carrots. The steak was delicious. Next time I'll ask for a center cut. The mashed were very very good. The Heirloom Carrots - were a bit dull. Crab Cakes and Cajun Remoulade were tasty. A bit salty for my taste. But, when I return - and I know I will be back many times over - I will give them another try. Taylor - the Food runner - was very polite and charming. The busboy was also very well spoken and easy. The Decor is incredible. When you get inside it's almost unfathomable. The outside doesn't suggest what they've done with the inside. It is quite a work of art. There's a second dining area in the back as well as an outdoor patio. Bathrooms are super clean. And I was informed that when the weather gets better - Springtime - the patio is open and is dog-friendly. Dessert time came and we were again impressed. We order the Cupcake Trio, Peanut Butter Pie and a Crème Brûlée. The Crème Brûlée was outrageous. Definitely the table fave. But, the Trio was delicious. The Peanut Butter Pie was a bit too sweet for my taste but, my guests enjoyed it!! All-in all a great time was had by all!! The courses were properly timed by Devin, which btw not every server understands. I am looking forward to enjoying another meal here...sooner than later. Thanks again chef!!

    Maple glazed pork loin with mashed potatoes and green beans.
    Beth G.

    What a cool environment and reclaim of a unique space. We went on a weeknight, and while some of the menu was unavailable, they told us up front to mitigate potential disappointment. I had the maple glazed pork loin, mashed potatoes, and green beans. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. No extra salt or pepper needed. The dessert menu looked amazing but a little weird as the prices were missing, so we skipped that portion. The bread and apple cinnamon butter were good. We plan on visiting again when in the area for work. I wouldn't recommend for kids as there is no kid menu.

    Is this place casual or fancy?

    We were traveling so we were dressed casually and felt comfortable. You could easily dress up and enjoy that also. The food alone is worth dressing up for. I miss this place! Enjoy.

    This is a review of Tavern on the trail update. I've recently found out that the establishment has…read morebeen sold to a new owner. I have met him just this past week and think he's a stand-up guy. This is all my opinion and I'm just somebody that frequents this place as much as I can however I am not 100% local. So a lot of what's in Place is going to stay like it is for now which is nice. You're going to see a more enhanced menu but for the most part, many of the faces you've come to know at this place I'm going to be here. Everything sounds really positive in the changeover. One saying that I'm not crazy about is a possibility of the changing the name. This is my opinion here. Since 2020 the previous new owners took over ....and the name of Capone's went into the history of this location. It had residence here for many many years. Back then it was really no more than the towns great dive bar. A local establishment in a small town filled with locals. And rightly so. It was everything anyone could ask for in a local bar. From 2020 till early this year those owners with the new name of Tavern on the Trail went through highs and lows of rebranding the establishment. They took it from the dark dive bar entity to a brightly lit place where patrons can enjoy a smoke free bar. As well, families can come to eat and not have to worry about smoking and some of the other things that come with a dive bar categorically.. Since then as well, and this is important, the Tavern has become a great stop for recreational visitors. Those using the trail as well as River recreation. Being an Outdoors person myself kayaking and hiking and backpacking, biking.... If I am out and about on one of my excursions and there just happens to be a place called Tavern on the trail, which associated with the trail that I'm on, I think that's cool. I am definitely trying it. I've met so many people that only come around once a year. They make Tavern on the Trail a scheduled stop. So not just for these types of visitors, but all kinds of visitors to the community of Whitehaven this name Tavern on the Trail. I think it's attractive and well thought of as the base reality of it all is the Tavern actually sits on the trail.. I for one I'm going to be disappointed when the name changes. However, that won't stop me from coming. This place is far and away. so much better than years ago..

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.
