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!

SMALL, CRISPY WINGS! One more time for those who are looking for medium or large wings: SMALL AND…read moreCRISPY! My favorite wing place of all time. You don't have to order extra crispy or wet, they come out perfect every time. They are cooked to order, so it can take a while longer than places who pre-cook. Try a Kelly Fry or French Onion Soup and pretty much anything else on the menu. All good all the time. Service is always friendly and quick, even when busy. They've been here since 1990, so I think they have it figured out. Bonus craziness on St Patrick's Parade Day, bag pipes and good cheer o'plenty!

(4 1/2 stars) An institution in the city of Scranton! The big argument about this place will be…read morethat they have "pigeon wings" or tiny wings. While their wings do tend to be smaller than other normal or even jumbo sized wings, to call them pigeon wings is just ridiculous. If you're someone who eats an order of 10 feel free to order 15 here and get the same full belly effect. The one thing they have going on that cannot be matched is consistency. It doesn't matter who's cooking, the day of the week, or the crowd size. The wings are always the same size, cooked the same way, and sauced the same way. I do feel as if they travel well too due to their smaller size. Reheating them with an extra side of sauce, has proven to be a hit at parties. They deserve to be in the conversation for best wings in the area. The staff is friendly and attentive. There is a large family friendly dining room. The one negative, I do wish the bar area was larger. If you're able to find a seat, it is a nice time, but it is a very narrow and limited seating experience.

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.

This new location on Lake Winola served up the best bbq this diner has ever had! Let's start with…read moremy favorite dish, which I did not expect...the stew. Dear, Baby Jesus. Boasting rich and comforting flavors, this concoction was an amalgam of deliciously smoked meat and veggies swimming in a pool of a savory tomato and herb broth. The next favorite, and honestly the best I've ever had - the ribs. Fall-off-the-bone, moist, saucy and full, these delightful slices of heaven sung of flavor. Before I go on sounding like I ate a meal for a village, we were treated to a lovely sampling. The meatloaf, paired with the potato salad, would be the hit of any party. Finally, and I don't know how the chef did this, but the smoked tuna was so rich and different, it reminded me of eating a fresh and expensive crab cake. Note to all who are looking for some epic bbq: check the updates for availability. It's no shock, but this locale sells out of items quickly in its TH-S run. An experience I will never forget. Thanks to the owner/chef for a fantastic dining delight!

I got the chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything was excellent! The portion size was huge. Glad I asked for it in a to go container because I only ate 1/4 of it & I was stuffed!! My son didn't order because he's not a big bbq eater so the owner brought out a sample of their signature New Brunswick stew. The boy doesn't eat soup either so I had to eat that too!! Lol - I'm not sorry! We got to listen to some R&B that was playing softly in the background. Soothing and not loud enough that you couldn't have a normal conversation.
