    Was looking for dinner after a day at Steamtown. This place was what I was near, and BBQ sounded…read moregood. I did not come to drink any Ale tho, so I can't comment on that aspect. We waited at the front a couple of minutes which was okay considering they seemed busy, but then some party entered and were attended to right away. We basically just followed that party because I overheard the there wwer only tables in the outdoor patio. We were able to establish contact with wait staff out there and so it began. Staff was friendly but service was slow. We were waited on by about 4 different persons, which was a little confusing, but if that what it takes to get served, then fine. Again, I am guessing they were understaffed. We ordered some BBQ ribs which were quite good but the half rack was small IMO. They have nothing on Kansas City, but it was still pretty good. They appear to BBQ their meats on the premises. Ambiance was okay, fine for BBQ and beer. If I lived in Scranton, maybe this place would be on the list of options, IDK.

    Don't come here on Wing Night Wednesday…read more. We made the mistake of coming here on wing night. We got our appetizer, chips and dip. Chips were homemade and burnt... 3/10. Dip was fine, probably out of a packet. Little did we know those burnt chips would be the only thing we would be eating for an hour with little to no refills. Seemed to be forgotten about with us being inside and I guess everyone else in the back. After an hour, our food came out. I got the brisket tacos, they were good. 8/10. My table got a chicken cheesesteak and ask for no mushrooms and ofc it came out with mushrooms... We had to get the wings, the wings were good! An hour wait good? No. 7/10. It took a weird amount of time for our last entree to come out and it was just like chicken tenders on a bun, no love. Oh and the pulled pork sandwich was more like slop. Our waitress's excuse was that they had a new chef. Sooooo I guess they decided to start training this chef during service. Food - 8/10 Service - 5/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Overall - 6/10

    I had the best time at this brew farm camping and just being at the restaurant!…read more - THE FOOD & DRINKS - We had three pizzas during our stay: the Margherita, Mexican corn and the farm pizza (peppers and sausage) I really loved the Margherita pizza because the tomato sauce was fresh and the cheese was so flavorful. The mexican corn is popular with the locals so I got it to try! And it didn't disappoint! The corn was sweet corn and paired with the white sauce was very tasty. This one is a lot more filling than the rest so I would definitely share it with more than 1-2 people! It's good to pair this with other pizzas. We paired this one with the farm pizza and that one had peppers like peperoncini with tasty sausage and that cut the creaminess of the corn pizza which was perfect and it had a tart sour taste that left me wanting more! It takes them about 20 minutes to make each pizza but it's so cool you can see them popping pizzas in a brick oven in the middle of nature. We had a beer flight and got to taste all of the beers and the one cider they had and I loved all of them! My favorite was definitely their TIPA because it was strong but the taste was fresh. - THE RESTAURANT/AMBIANCE - The area they were situated in was rolling hills of grass and felt very serene and calmed me down immediately. Lots of great people and you can bring your own dogs and I even saw someone bringing their own goats! Remember to bring a stake with a line for them to run around since they need to be leashed. Super dog friendly and welcoming. - CAMP EXPERIENCE - Ron was amazing and the courtesy of bringing our camping gear with a tractor to our campsite was a smooth process and he was such a cool guy to talk to! The campsite was really nice and tucked away from others and we had a picnic table and a fire pit. It started to rain and we saw lightning and thunder in the sky so we went to go to our car. They had the restaurant opened for safety so tons of campers went to the restaurant for cover and I think this place really is great for a camping site that has iffy weather conditions when you don't know if it will rain or shine because you'll always have a place to go (with beer!) There were tons of stars in the sky after the rain died down and we enjoyed our night at the campsite. The morning after we took a shower at the outdoor shower and that felt amazing. Even though it was right next to the donkeys it didn't smell like a farm. I think they clean it pretty well and it felt almost luxurious to be bathing outside with hot water. It had a soap bar but I would still bring your own, they don't come with a body wash or anything. They do have a mirror but it was quite foggy. It's about a 10 minute walk to the showers but a really nice one! I would definitely come back with more people since it's group and dog friendly! I had a blast!

    What a heavenly place to celebrate my 60th birthday with friends and family! We stayed in camping…read morespot #7. We were surprised we could not drive our cars in but the camp host, Ron kindly hauled our camping gear and food. He delivered us firewood and refilled our water jugs. He was personable, funny and willing to help with anything we needed. He provided his cell number so if we needed anything, he would he would be available. It was super secluded spot that was quiet and private. We had delicious burgers and pretzels at the brewery. The majority of our camping clan had stayed here a year ago and loved it! We will definitely be back! Thank Ron for being a fantastic camp host!
