I live near the ocean and can buy fresh off the boat seafood, so why am I at a Red Lobster? Well,…read moremany small businesses in this area are closed on Sunday and so we were left with chain restaurants options. This Red Lobster has a private parking lot with dedicated spots for pick-up. A hostess will seat you. Most of the seating are booths with nice high backs which make for a cozy little snug. There are lots of big window walls letting in the light. Even on this dreary, rainy day. Our waiter, Alec, was excellent. Red Lobster has a full bar and include some adult beverage suggestion in the menu. They also have iced tea, lemonade, sodas, coffee and hot tea. The menu, not surprisingly includes lots of seafood options, but they also have chicken tenders, hamburger and steaks. Soups are clam chowder or lobster bisque. Entree sized salads come with the option of adding seafood or grilled chicken. And of course, they drop a basket of warm cheese biscuits at the table soon after you arrive. I opted for a hot tea on a cold rainy day while my SO chose a Lagunitas. The tea came with a cup of hot water, plus a small pot of hot water to brew a second cup. Unfortunately the water was not boiling, so the tea didn't steep well, but today, that's OK. I really wanted a warm drink to wrap my cold hands around and that's what I got. Oddly enough, we both ordered steak: filet mignon and sirloin. Our sides included fresh brocolli, Ceasar salad and a baked potato with sour cream and bacon. The potato was nice and fluffy, the bacon plentiful. Ceasar salads were fresh, the brocolli cooked very soft: I like more bite, but I know plenty of people who would have thought this was perfectly cooked. Our steaks were cooked as ordered and had a nice 'cooked on the grill' taste. Alec kept a very good eye on us, checking in often, refilling my water, making sure our steaks were cooked correctly, etc. during a very busy Sunday lunch rush. When the check arrived he let us know he would take a cash payment but cards were paid through the monitor on the table and if we needed help with that just let him know. We are familiar with this process, added a tip and selected the 'email receipt' option. This restaurant was clean, well staffed and the food good quality. The restrooms, located near the entrance, were very clean and well stocked. We'd definitely visit this location again.

The rolls and fried shrimp are to salty for my liking. We didn't like the bacon mac and cheese at all. The lobster tail was, good. Slightly overcooked. Shrimp scampi was okay. The reason we came, the snow crab legs. Yes, all crab legs are frozen but some seem fresher than others. Unfortunately, these fall into the not so fresh category. How judge is by the crack of the shell and the sweetness of the meat. I'd give these 3 out of 5 stars. They were passable but nothing I'd come back for.

We went for dinner the day before Valentine's day. While we anticipated a wait, we noticed multiple…read moreempty tables as we walked by the windows. On entering the restaurant we were informed of a 45 minute delay despite the lateness of our arrival at 6:45. We decided to take a seat in the bar, since the waiting area was filled. We stood at the bar for some time, before realizing that no one was going to wait on us. There was a very large party also at the bar and once all of their party arrived, they left to go elsewhere. At about 7:30 we were seated. I ordered one of the specialty drinks containing 2 types of rum. When it arrived at the table, it looked (& tasted) like watered down kool-aid not like fruit juices and rum. When the server returned I sent the drink back, she said to me " I even put extra vodka in for you". I told her the drink did not contain vodka, rather 2 kinds of rum and sent it back. I replaced it with wine. In looking at the menu, we were perplexed that salad, unless ordered as a side, no longer accompanied the meal and the large rock lobster we normally ordered was no longer on the menu. Food was adequate, but not what it had been formerally. Not having a bar tender on duty was also a disappointment. This was our "go to" place for celebrations, but I do not think we will be back.

I set my expectations somewhere north of Taco Cabana but well below a respectable full-service Mexican restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised! So far, everything I've had on the menu has been good. The quesadilla had veggies in it, which seems less common but is for sure the correct way to make them. The enchiladas are good. The taquitos (flautas) are excellent. The fajita meat is nothing to write home about but the veggies and seasoning they are served in/with is really top notch. The best thing I've had here was the carnitas; highly recommend. The margaritas are too sweet unless you get the "skinny" rita. The beans are delicious but twice have been over-salted. Minor complaints, really. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in town (very close w/ their neighbor-est restaurant being neck-and-neck w/ them though). Very happy to have them here and hope they stick around!

My husband and I both ordered the same thing, a cheese burger with a side of fries. We also splurged and got a chili cheese dog and a chocolate milkshake. The burgers were different, loose meat with white American cheese, very simple. The bun was baked to buttery perfection, it was really tasty! The fries were just basic crinkle cut, cooked perfectly though. The chili cheese dog was a little disappointing, there wasn't much chili on there. I probably would stick with the burgers. The milkshake was smooth and creamy. The server was very sweet and helpful despite being really busy! The inside is very small but also very inviting, we loved looking at the pictures of years past that were posted all around. There was an ambiance of nostalgia. Overall for a quick and easy bite to eat I would definitely recommend this place, be sure to have cash handy as it is cash only.

The food is brought by the cashier. The miso soup ($1) was plentiful, and full of seaweed and soft tofu cubes. It was delicious. The sushi lunch special? While the fish was absolutely fresh and the proportions of stuffing to rice was proper, the rice was unflavored. This is like building a fruit pie with instant crust: These things show. There was no vinegar, salt, sugar, or toasted sesame seeds to flavor the rice, leaving the sushi unadorned. Oh, and everything is served on melamine. Hibachi is on the menu, but there are no performance tables. I guess, "stir fry" is a better description. Half the menu is beverage: Milkshakes, milk tea boba, fruit juice boba. These were very popular with the teenagers who visited on a hot day. I'll come again to try their Hawaiian poke bowl. Even though I have to bus my own table, like a fast food place.

My wife, who's Italian, wants to take this +1 hour trip several times a year just to come here because it reminds her of the various "Mom & Pop" restaurants of her hometown in northeast PA. It sits in downtown DuBois with plenty of parking options nearby. The restaurant is good sized but it also does a lot of business so plan ahead on the weekends. The inside has a cozy/hometown feel with pictures of their family all over the walls. I don't think much has changed to the interior in those 20 years and that's okay by me. For this outing we opted for the antipasta salad, Italian wedding soup, veal parm and stuffed manicotti. Their dishes are more traditional italian (i.e. not olive garden) and they offer lunch, half, or full-sized portions. Their gravy has a good balance between sweet and savory. They also make a great fresh baked loaf of bread and they're happy to bring several to the table throughout the course. It was a special occasion so we closed out the night with their famous strawberry cheesecake. Service was excellent and the bill, with several drinks, was around $60 for 2. This is not a chain; it has character, it's not polished but it's a true gem of spot in rural PA. I'm glad places like this still exist!
