Have been here multiple times and always a great meal and experience. Wish there were more places like this! The crab cocktail is a must have! read more

This is one of the nicest places in this region to eat. The cocktails are imaginative and tasty. The services is always top-notch. I've had many pleasant experiences there. read more

Cool place, interesting history and building. great food and staff. Was a pleasant find on our road trip.

Ordered a steak and server told me i should not order it 'medium' because they chef says you don't eat a steak cooked to medium. Suggested the customer is always right and I like my steak medium. Needless to say my steak came out medium rare They should just post a sign saying all steaks cooked to rare and be done with it. read more

I have one question do you have live music . And do you serve lamb chops for dinner because that's my favorite food is lamb chop and I can't find it nowhere I saw her here but I don't know if you serve it for dinner menu read more

The overall of this place was absolutely amazing. When you first walk its nice and the staff is friendly . Our waitress alone was phenomenal my two year old wasnt having it and was grumpy she offered him a coloring book and understood completely and didnt look down on us like most places would. The food was great i finished my entire pasta it was so good. I do believe the appetizer could have more to it for the price though. I highly recommend if your looking for somewhere to eat. Definitely will be back again. read more

Powerhouse Eatery - Chicken Tequila Fettuccine - Bars Near Me - White Haven, Pennsylvania

The good: - I've been here twice now and food each time impressed me. Most recently I ordered the Seafood Cavatappi which came with large chunks of scallops (×2) and shrimp (x4) and I sopped up what little remained of the tasty sauce with the heckin' warm and crisp bread they provided before the start of the meal. - Walking into Powerhouse during the holiday season is like walking in into a Hallmark movie. The decor is festive AF: everything from the decorative sleigh to the glittery ornaments and owls draped over the archway. The bad: - As tasty as the food was, it was also pretty pricey for the area. You can ride it cheap for about $15 if you go for the sandwich but selecting an entree will set you back around $30+. Woof. - Warning: the local wines they have featured on the main menu are REALLY sweet. Order at your own risk. Overall, would dedinitely come again for special wintery occassions. read more

This place is a gem in the middle of nowhere! For years we passed it on 80 on our trek back and forth to PSU. So happy we finally decided to try it! We haven't had a bad meal there and we've been at least 6 times! The service is always great as well as the food!! From unusual apps, seasonal salads ( my favorites) yummy sandwiches/ burgers to full dinners and always scrumptious desserts....there are no bad choices! The Christmas decor is absolutely beautiful as well! read more

Terrible!! We did not get a table bc we are people of color. There were empty tables and plenty of staff but we were turned away due to "staffing issues". Would not recommend for the sheer fact of how we were treated. read more

2.5 Stars, rounded up for atmosphere. I've passed this restaurant eleventy billion times, give or take a million or two. Anyone who has travelled the stretch of Rt 80 between New Jersey and anything west of the Poconos has spotted the little grey and pink power plant on the eastbound side of the highway. My mother was shocked when I told her that I'd never stopped to see what was inside, so she treated me to a simple but satisfying meal. This place exists for the story and the atmosphere. It was the power generator for a tuberculosis sanatorium which closed long ago. At some point the space was made into a restaurant. You won't have to look hard for the industrial details that were left intact, but the restaurant is now a cozy, cheerful space. There is nothing like this nearby, and not much like it anywhere. Unfortunately, though the large menu holds quite a few novel ideas for the area, there isn't much to rave about for someone passing through from one city to the next. There are plenty of options, but none that we tried truly wowed me, and our purse strings were pulled just a bit tighter than I'd have liked. It's upscale pub food, really, featuring such exotic foods as calamari, scallops, and Greek salads. Unfortunately the prices come closer to fine dining. I understand. It's one of the nicest restaurants around, but a $13 hamburger is a hard sell in this part of the state. The service was also lackluster. Nothing truly wrong, but the waitstaff can't possibly have had much training before working here. Again, it's a large menu, but a basic knowledge of ingredients isn't asking too much, and the ability to rattle off a few favorites goes a long way. I'm glad that I had a chance to stop and see the interior of this local landmark but I have no desire to try it again. Instead I'll smile as I pass by on my way down 80, finally knowing what's inside. read more

Went for Brunch on Sunday, They don't do brunch at this time, they should remove the brunch menu from their websites....that being said we still had a delicious meal,burrata salad,chicken parm&chicken piccata....service was excellent! read more

So I'd like to start the review with that we've been driving past this restaurant since it was built. I have never stopped, but I have always wanted to stop. This time as we were passing by we made sure that we made a reservation on open table several days before. The hostess was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. The interior is exactly what it we hoped it would be, very clean, unique, and very enjoyable. We were very excited about the dinner experience, but unfortunately we have had way better at even lower caliber restaurants then this. I had a French onion soup to start with. It wasn't bad, it could've had a little bit more flavor in the broth, but it was still very good. The portion size was nice. My husband had a lamb chop lollipop appetizer. That was very good. Our biggest complaint about this location was our waitress. Her name is Abby. She was absent the majority of our visit. She was sloppy when she put waters and drinks down on the table, spilling everyone, each time. She never offered us any type of refill or drink in between the appetizers and the meal. She also never cleared any plates from our table. The bread basket was still there, empty after we left. The time between us getting our appetizer and the meal was close to an hour. My meal was a chicken francaise. It was OK. I have no complaints about it but I can say that I've had better at other restaurants. My husband had a large cut pork chop. We asked for it to be cooked medium. It came out well done and dry. It could have had a little bit more sauce on the plate. The presentation was nice, but for the price I wouldn't get it again. So for atmosphere, this restaurant is a full A+. For food and service this restaurant was a C - to a D. I really doubt we would go again. read more

I was in the Poconos, PA I live in NYC so was looking for a place to eat since it was fathers day and we were on our way home. We had 8 people and they still accommodated us, we really appreciate that being fathers day and they were full. We ordered different dishes and each of us found our dishes to be excellent. Next time I go to the Poconos or nearby that will be one of my stops /highlights. I got to mention the server Devin was excellent - thanks for the hospitality read more

It's a cute spot. In an old power plant. The French Onion Soup as quite good. We had the Brussels sprouts salad as well as the wedge and both were good. Would come back. read more

Powerhouse Eatery - Great historical fine and dine You and your guess will be impressed with the food and drinks and the service - Bars Near Me - White Haven, Pennsylvania

Wow! We stumbled upon this restaurant on the way back from a weekend away. We were blown away. The antipasto bruschetta was fantastic! All of the food was outstanding. Drinks were delicious and the service was perfect. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxing. I felt very spoiled and pampered. Probably the best meal I've had in years. I would definitely recommend this place especially for a special occasion. read more

Its got a cool industrial motif. Could have generated electricity in a previous life. It has a factory style smokestack like the place was a smelting shop back in the olden days. Inside its quasi steampunk, with pipes and valves and boiler unit hatches bolted to the walls. Twas busy on a Friday night. Not as busy as I suppose it could have been, but there was a customer base ordering misc stuff. The waiter showed up fairly quick. Drafts were prompt, even though the waiter said they were having some tap issues. Then came some five star bread. Some kind of italian style which was steaming hot under its towel, served with a cup of... butterish stuff with green flecks in it which was a pretty good match with this epic bread. Crunchy crust, moist tender bread. Yah, that was the highlight of the entire experience. Then we were forgotten by the kitchen. Or perhaps we were placed at the bottom of a long list of people waiting for stuff to be made. Runners would go by with trays of giant burgers and things. The waiter didnt totally forget us. He would go by every ten minutes and say, "its coming soon! Really. it is!" He dropped by with another basket of that bread. He KNEW the bread was the secret to quelling a revolution by hungry diners. This was not his first dog and pony show. Some food finally showed up. French onion soup with some kind of alien spice that seemed permeated with the cheese. Edible but, couldnt shake the weirdness. Then it went quiet again. And the waiting commenced. A busboy went past, picking up assorted debris from abandoned tables. But the waiter and busboy passed by our table a dozen times, ignoring empty bowls, and empty baskets and used spoons and such, leaving us with a clutter of debris to remind us that things could only get better. Not particularly Penne, vodka sauced, was from the basic olive garden school of ' whateveh'. The vegan impossible burger was reported to be....ok. Prices are here and there, the pasta was under twenty bucks. They had a lobster tail on the menu for 59 bucks. The price you pay when you're 550 miles from the boat. Betcha a nickel the kitchen finds a way to screw it up. With a name like POWERHOUSE EATERY. You should step up your game. No Powerhouse here. They have the decor anyway. read more

Whether driving at Poccono raceway or staying at Lake harmony I always go out of my way to visit Powerhouse. This time was a Birthday party of nine. Pressure was on as there were many nearby restaurants. We were promptly seated at a great table and we were fortunate to have Mike as our server. The great bread was a good indicator of things to come. The wine list was well thought out and very reasonable. All plates came out on time which is a rare feat. The food was perfectly prepared and spot on. And everyone was very happy. A trip to the Powerhouse is well worth it! read more

Family was on our way back from NYC heading towards the Pittsburgh area. If you find yourself on a similar route or on I80, you should absolutely stop at this restaurant. From the outside of the restaurant, you would not think you would be getting the kind of quality food that makes you want to order takeout for later in the day. This made the place all the more special, tucked away where civil presence seems to be non-existent. Having just come from Harlem and explored NYC and all of it's amazing offerings, this place was very impressive. The food was complex and flavorful through and through. Chicken Sandwich - chicken thighs breaded with ground mustard, slaw and pickles, all held together with a bread that was soft and with a crisp outer layer Roast Beef Dip Sandwich - shaved beef with au jus and again.... the bread Burger - hearty and juicy Crab cake sandwich - crab, what more to say. Good blend of crab to "filling" truffle fries - fresh cut, and allll truff-ly. Crisp and salted to perfection STOP HERE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Lastly, the wait staff were beyond pleasant. My family wanted to give them all hugs on the way out. Thank you for making our amazing trip to NYC all the more better on the shitty drive back to Pittsburgh read more

It was a Saturday and I walked in around 6:30 - 7:00 with my son. The hostess was very cordial and told us there was a 30 min wait for a table or we could eat dinner at the bar. My son is 7 so I was worried that he would not be allowed to sit at the bar, but the hostess said it was fine so we took the bar option. It was a busy Saturday night so the two bartenders were scrambling trying to get all of the dining room drinks out, as well as serve all of the folks at the bar. It's not an easy task, but they did a good job. The food was really good. I have never seen my son eat a grilled cheese sandwich so fast. He gave two thumbs up, which is A+. I had the salmon dish and did not leave anything behind. The hash was a bit unexpected but still good. It was more like fried hashbrown shreds. They lose a star with me for dessert. I ordered the strawberry rhubarb cobbler. On the menu they recommend ordering ahead of time as it takes 20 mins to bake. The base of the cobbler was good but it really was not very cobbler-like. I was expecting something topped with butter, flour, and brown sugar crumbles. I'm not sure what was on top, but it was very grainy and not sweet. The entire dessert lacked sweetness. read more

The food was pretty good and the place seemed a little upscale. We were only visiting the area for white water rafting. Our sever at the bar was amazing. I didn't care for the rest of the servers or hostess since they didn't really care to speak to us (we are African American) read more

Okay, decent, but not special. The food was pretty good, but the chicken sando was a little dry. We made a reservation which we saw that that probably wasn't nessisary. Was good, won't come back read more

The food was good, you can't be in a hurry to dine here. The staff were all pleasant and very attentive. It gets extremely busy and we didn't have reservations but they did accommodate us at the bar, which was fine with us. I had a steak and it was cooked as I requested, medium, it was very juicy and delicious but for some reason it was a bit chewy. Carol did the pork chop with crab and she thoroughly enjoyed that. The tab was more a $$$ but it is a really nice experience. Definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

I had never been here before but had heard good things, so my sister and I decided to order takeout. She got the apple salad and added pesto chicken and I got the crab avocado salad. The total was over $50 so when we got two salads hardly filling 1/4 of the container and two pieces of plain grilled chicken thrown in a container I was incredibly disappointed. The crab avocado salad had two pieces of crab in it slightly bigger than a quarter. read more

The service is exceptional. Food is excellent, the bartenders know their stuff. One of my favorite places.

Great spot with awesome design and decorations fresh food prime steak was delicious friendly staff

Great service and great atmosphere. After driving for five hours we were starving and became those people who were walking in at 4:00 as soon as they opened, still was greeted with a smile. The lobster mac is to die for. The apricot sangria was delicious. read more

3 of us went here for dinner and all ordered the petit filet mignon. We all wanted it cooked a different way. All were delicious 2 ordered desserts (tiramisu and lemon blueberry cheesecake). Again outstanding One of my favorites places to eat Highly recommend read more

Nice looking space. Loud and understaffed, but the people were very nice. Bread was good. Butter was sweet . Vinaigrette was sweet. . Linguini and clams was bland. Someone should show the chef where the seasoning is kept. This is the kind of place you go for a date or to celebrate something, any occasion on which the actual food is a secondary consideration. read more

Best restaurant best food best service around. When I worked at the local hotel, I always referred guest and they always came back smiling

Hidden gem seemingly in the middle of no where . Has a very unique atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The kitchen was a little slow but the food was excellent. Everyone in our party was happy with their food. The ahi tuna special was amazing! The salmon was very good too. The petite filet was reportedly very good as well as the clams. Would return if in the area again. read more

Tucked in the middle of nowhere on Interstate 80, lies the Powerhouse Eatery. The Powerhouse is one of those rare restaurants that you find through word of mouth. They specialize in traditional fare like steaks, chops, etc. My family and I have been there countless times, and it is wonderful every time. The building itself is a converted powerhouse (duh!), and inside it still has a very industrial feel. The menus are printed on copies of old machine parts fliers which is an interesting touch. The walls are of old metal and brick, and it actually gives the restaurant a somewhat warm feeling. There are mix of tables and booths, and there is also a large bar area. The Powerhouse is another restaurant that feels that there is value in having their wait staff wear uniforms. The staff looks and acts professional. They are all extremely friendly and coruteous, and ensure that you will have a wonderful meal. The menu is fairly varied with different types of beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and other fine dishes. My favorite is the filet mignon served in its own juices. This is not an Outback quality steak-it is much better. The steak here is just as good as steaks from some of the more expensive steak houses. Along with the entree, you will receive your choice of veggie, and a soup or salad. The salad is always crisp and fresh. Bread is also served, and is fantastic. You receive a basket of bread that is full of 2 different types of fresh bread (warmed) and some various breadsticks as well. For dessert they have a good bit of choices for you. Overall this is a fantastic restaurant that is pretty easy on the wallet. If you appreciate a quality meal in a classic old school restaurant setting, then this is the palce to go! read more

We were super excited to try the restaurant as the reviews were amazing. When we walked in they had it beautifully decorated for Christmas. We sat in the very back room and it was such a nice spot. We all loved our food, the steak was perfectly good and my pasta was amazing. This would definitely be a place we would eat at regularly if we didn't live 4 hours away! read more

What event we order from the menus everything was delicious definitely worth it if you are in the area.

We'd passed this restaurant many times during the past few years and had long wanted to eat there, but it was always late at night. We finally got our chance yesterday, when driving back to NYC in the early evening. We weren't overly hungry, so we each ordered a dish from the "small plates" menu (I had the gnocchi with sweet potato ravioli and my husband had the crab sandwich). The bread basket had delicious and crunchy warm bread. All of the food was *really* good! Our server was pleasant, but she was also MIA most of the time and we waited an inordinate amount of time for our food. However, I talked to the manager afterwards - a really nice guy - and he explained that one of their servers had called in sick, so they were short-staffed. Still, though, our server should have told us, instead of leaving us sitting there for such a long time. The Powerhouse has quite an interesting history, and the interior space is bright & airy and very attractive. read more

We stopped in on our way to our hotel in the Poconos. I had been here about 15 years ago and was hoping it had the same ambiance. It's just a fun, cool place. The appetizers were fantastic and the burger was huge. Our waiter really knew the menu well and was a fun guy. Wish we lived closer. read more

Came to this restaurant on Valentines Day night - they were super accommodating as we had a reservation for 7:45 and were running late, we called in advance and they said not to worry. They sat us right away when we got there at about 8:10. Their menu is delicious, I had a chocolate martini, recommended by my waiter - it was so good it tasted like chocolate milk with a strawberry vodka. They gave complimentary soft bread with a blueberry jalapeño butter - this sounds weird but tastes soooooo good (and I'm picky). I had a chicken tequila pasta dish and my bf had the NY strip steak with mashed potatoes. Both of our meals were so good. We ended the night with a creme brûlée desert, great choice! Our waiter was so sweet and always checked in with us. Decor was very quaint but welcoming, powerhouse is a old factory and they kept the high ceiling beams, it looks so cool! Would definitely return! read more

This restaurant is actually an old powerhouse, the interior decor has some of what it used to be, which is really cool. It has the industrial feel when you are inside, it feels as if the old powerhouse is still running while you are eating... The staff is friendly and hospitable. Ambiance is awesome. We ordered frog legs and scallops as appetizers. They were great. I had a Prime Rib Au and it was wonderful. The meat was soff, tender, and tasty. Everything was excellent and served quickly. Excellent all around. read more
