The Wayside, AKA "The Bucket", is a hidden gem in the residential neighborhood of South Towanda…read more The current owners have put a lot of time and effort into updating this local landmark. In addition to remodeling the interior, they've added a large deck and fire pit area. Now it's one of the few locations in Towanda with outdoor dining. The Wayside is serving up quality bar food with options on the menu like cutlets, wings, burgers, sandwiches, and pizza. They have the largest variety of sauce options and the best wings around! It's a fun place to hang out and grab a good meal!

The autistic boy sometimes got a little loud and his voice tends to carry. The two ladies that were sitting next to them were annoyed and asked for their lunch to go. The owner of cookies canteen went up to the boy and his family and told them that he understands that there is something wrong with the boy however he needs to calm down and that it is a business. The owner allowed the family to continue to finish their meal only if the autistic boy calmed down. To me this is ridiculous and uncalled for.

Unfortunately we got there right at noon when there were eight others there......4 at the bar and 4 at a table plus there was four of us Coffee was ordered by my friend but no cre asm so had to wait to ask waitress for cream. The coffee was brought cold. When waitress was advised she left the cold coffee and said she would "warm" up what was at the bar. Then bring more. This did not happen until we were there over an hour. We waited at least forty five minutes to place our food order. After an hour and a half we finally got our food. The food was actually very good or at least the strawberry steak salad was. Steak was tough but had good flavor (no steak knives). The quesadilla was dry with very little filling. We were there for over two hours. Finally got our bill. Was apologized to by manager who came as we were ready to leave. Said only one cook who was very young. This is the second time I've tried to eat there and have been disappointed both times. First time was when they first opened and was fir super that time. Also very slow service. Food was actually better this time. Not sure if I'll give them a third try.

The three staff that were seen did not wear masks at all, and the other patrons did not wear masks in or out of the restaurant, nor did those getting take out wear masks. Gloves were not worn either. While we were there, we ordered from a friendly girl at the front, then self seated and waited for our food, which did come out fairly quickly. No one checked in on our party the whole time, though they did check in on another table of men several times. The girls working had loud personal conversations across the room to each other, which was annoying to us as we ate and tried to talk at our own table. The food was in large portions, but is not anything particularly special compared to any other local Italian or pizza shops. I would come again as it is one of few local options, though I would probably just order and pick it up instead of eating in.

Glad this area has some nice restaurants but maybe coming for drinks is a thing here vs for good food? We were seated quickly and order taken right away. Got a cucumber mule which was ok, and then I got mahi tacos and rice and my husband got the chicken tacos and rice. Tacos had flavor but pricey for just two and no sides. The rice, it was so bland, why bother?! I didn't even eat half of it and I usually do not waste food. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere right by the river with a rooftop deck for sitting outside and after 5, can park for free in the lot next door. Will I go back, unfortunately probably not.

We had visited this restaurant before and had a nice meal. We happened to be in the area, so we…read morefigured we would go there again. We were quite disappointed this time. Although the atmosphere was pleasant (good music, nice lighting), the food was not. First off, the portions were way smaller this time. I ordered a side of Spanish rice ($3.50) and it was literally about three (small) table spoons, child portion. My fish tacos were awful. There was barely any fish, just a lot of uncooked onions, red sauce (which was supposed to be on the side due to the heat) and crema. Although the waitress was nice (and offered to bring me something else) she should have made sure the meals she was bringing out were done correctly in the first place. What if I had been allergic to heat? or preferred dairy free ? My tacos were drenched in crema (sour cream) to off set the sauce they had forgotten to put on the side--frankly, the dish did not look very appetizing I barely ate any of it. Sadly, we will not be returning. **Update: The restaurant was kind enough to reach out and reimbursed me for my meal. Changing the stars to reflect that.
