The servers look annoyed that they have to wait on you. Soup is luke warm and food is just ok.

One of the better options in the limited option poconos area in Winter during Covid. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was meh. We ordered 3 entrees and a burger. My wife and I got a salad with our entrees and my daughter did not, despite ordering the $21 chicken parm. (Because...she was a kid?) the chicken Chardonnay (primavera) was pretty good. Little Texas toast style garlic bread came with it. I ordered short ribs... and out came a thick slice of perhaps it was pot roast? Because I am pretty sure it was an eye round, definitely not short ribs.. the entree was tasty, the meat tender... served with passable mashed potatoes and some tricolor baby carrots. Gravy/Demi tasted a bit like Franco American gravy.. pretty good overall... but call it pot roast. My daughter got some chicken parm with an unusually sweet red sauce. She ate about half of it because we are used to tomato sauce being on the savory side. My son thought his burger was fantastic. The place was clean and kind of barren. Again... considering that it was off season. (?) the bar was closed due to Covid... in place was an interestingly merchandised display of bottles of available wine on top of pieces of wood.. Our server was a very nice young lady. Again a decent experience, and most likely one of the better/only options for a sit down meal in the area this time of year. Would like to return and give it a try during a warmer season. read more

I came here for dinner and drinks with friends and the deck was very nice. The chicken sandwich was dry, but the fries were delicious and the margarita was good. The wait staff was changing shift as we finished dinner and were ordering more drinks and encouraged us to pay our tab prior to them leaving (totally understandable). The new waitress came up to us and essentially asked us to either order more or leave her table and go to the bar. A bit disturbing and a frustrating way to end our night. read more

Spent a two nighter in Hawley. Town looked ghosted due to COVID. Depressing but glad to see some businesses still opened. Checked the reviews and pictures on Yelp which turned us onto the joint. Sadly not many people there but awesome since we had good service. The food was great. We had boneless wings well done, wallys burger and a lobster chowder soup. All good was phenomenal. Price.......... well at this point I'm glad to give my money to local establishments. Any little help to keep them open, I'll gladly pay. Local establishments need to get local beer!!!! read more

The worst!! The manager was yelling at the hostess in front of customers, took 15 minutes for someone to take our order and she apologized for the outburst, then all the hostess's gathered at the station to complain, manager complained to customers there where too many people (really that is what a restaurant wants!), took 20 minutes for soda, wine and a bottle beer, waitress said the kitchen was having issues, rolls stale, crab cake had shells, and that may be enough not to come here. Dirty tables. Don't waste your money! And my review was deleted from their website!!!!! Simply aweful. read more

We reserved "Table 97" for the 4 of us one month ahead (which is their only outdoor table) and confirmed the week of the dinner that we had table 97 & it was the outdoor table. When we arrived, the hostess spent too much time on her screen after we said we had table 97 reserved. They sat us at a table inside & we saw there was a group at the outdoor table. The hostess said they changed numbers and now the table outside is 98! Unbelievable BS! The only reason we were coming here is for that table because we knew the food is pretty lame and the service even worse. This place is owned by a corporation "Settlers Group" and the servers are all like robots with zero personality and very slow. Food actually was ok but we will NEVER EVER return to this place or any Settlers Group establishment. There was even a $2 charge itemized as "ICE" for a scotch on the rocks. Really??? Stay away from this place along with all their other places. read more

Very disappointed Granted we where in work cloths so we sat at the bar But $17 for a Crispy Chicken sandwich and fries and ya can't put a slice of Tomato or a piece of lettuce... really and not even a full piece of chicken a couple of scraps ... just bullshit The Beef cheese was drie and roll was old and stall read more

honestly i read the other reviews and almost didn't come here. i feel like the only way you don't like it here is if you have no taste buds or no taste. everything we ordered was absolutely amazing! i'm from NY and go to michelin star restaurants so i understand quality and service. we ordered the honey siracha wings, the clam chowder, the ceasar salad which comes on top of a pizza (amazing and a must have), the coconut shrimp basket, the wally burger (another must have) and a few drinks. the drinks were just ok in my opinion but everything else was absolutely perfect, perfectly cooked, fresh and DEFINITELY worth the price... our waiter was super sweet and attentive even tho we came at the busiest time. read more

Overall, we had a nice experience here. The service was hands down the best part. Our waitress was very attentive to our dietary restrictions and repeated back everything at the end of us ordering. The food was decent, I'd say for the price they could have delivered a little more. For instance, my salmon salad was about $25 and it was decent but not outstanding. The ambiance was great -- we did the outdoor dining with heat lamps overlooking the lake. We would definitely come back again! read more

The Dock - a view of a lake from a deck - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

Had a late dinner here with a party of 8 including an 18 mo old. Waiter was very attentive. The Century boat that sits in dining room right next to us was really cool. There is also a large fish tank with local fish. The food was considered pretty good by all. They also have a kids menu. My Cabernet wasn't great and they replaced it with a Malbec for no extra charge which was appreciated once I realized an 8 oz pour was $16! But over all an enjoyable experience and the lobster bisque was really great! Definitely recommend. read more

Was so excited to try this place and make it our new place to frequent. The restaurant is spacious, attractive and open. The food was light and tasty. The issue was we didn't get a bag for our to-gos. As we were leaving carrying our to-go boxes on our hands we asked the hostess for a bag. She said "oh your server didn't give you one?" the hostess then proceeded to suggest that we must have walked out on our bill and that's why we didn't get a to-go bag. How absolutely absurd, rude, revolting, and insensitive especially after not only paying but leaving a 31% tip!!!! Won't be back. read more

Went for an early New Years Eve dinner. Our waitress Susan was so nice and friendly. Helped with questions about the menu and even asked us if we wanted to change tables since the couple behind us were arguing loudly. Had the fried calamari which was light and came with 2 tasty dipping sauces. Entree was fish fry which was also light and delicious. Came with fries and coleslaw which tasted Homemade. The only reason not to give 5 stars was that the cook had the appetizer come out at same time as entree. I like eating one before the other read more

Came here for dinner last night and was blown away by the service!! Our server was in training and she was incredibly nice and personable!! The food wasn't great and left something to be desired; maybe we should have tried the Tator tots; they sounded amazing! I ordered the pot roast with gravy, mashed potatoes and chefs veggie (broccoli). The pot roast was pretty fatty and way salty (could have been the gravy too). The broccoli was good and sautéed in garlic which I enjoyed. My wife had the balsamic chicken that was covered in cheese and some cheesy rice pilaf? She wasn't overly impressed either. The salads had came before dinner were nice... the only thought I have is that the green mixture must have been out for a while because the salad looked a bit sad. The balsamic vinaigrette was good; the salad had some red onion, cucumber and tomatoes. Also the view from this place overlooking the lake is beautiful! (Not a great place if you're looking for a sunset view, but a nice peaceful view and atmosphere). read more

Ordered burgers and cheesesteaks....an hour and a half later, no food. When you ask where the food is, the staff gets shitty. When I asked the guy at the grill if he forgot about our food he said "you'll get your food eventually." Super condescending and I don't even get uptight about service. This place is horrible. Do not go. You will regret it. Also the toilet is overflowing with piss. After an hour and a half of waiting we decided to leave. They reluctantly comp'd us a few beers in lieu of the food. Trash. TRASH. read more

The Dock - Our ticket - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

Walt Okon at The Dock on Wallenpaupack 205 Route 507, Hawley, PA 18428-7026 We had lunch at the Dock on Wallenpaupack at 205 Route 507, Hawley, PA 18428-7026 on 21 September 2022. Actually, it is not on the dock. The restaurant seating is high up on a very busy road with the dining seating out on the back porch deck. The distance to the water in down a major hill and actually far back from the water. That said it is still a beautiful view. The inside restaurant is beautiful. The food was very good. The prices were reansonable. Service was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. Yes, it is one of the key places to eat at the lake. Walt Okon, Springfield, Virginia. read more

The hostess seemed like she's miserable. This place gets two stars because our server was really nice. The time between getting our appetizer and entree was almost an hour. The food was average at best. For the price, go to The Chophouse. It's so much better. read more

Aw-ful. Ordered take out. Pizza was cooolldddd. Traveling companions burger was tough. Had to ask for utensils since we were staying next door at the silver doom that had no utensils. They didn't include ketchup. But that pizza. Fell apart, couldn't even make a triangle to eat it with each piece. Margarita pizza? Try yucky sauce with congealed mozzarella cheese, no basil. I ate what I could, I don't like sending back food. Called them too and the sad employee just said sorry I'll let the chef know. No compensation, no, free dessert or anything. Just awful. Granted I should've walked up that hill to the place and returned it but I was hungry and they were the only food that I didn't have to drive to eat. No Uber eats in the area. read more

To be honest, the overall view from the location was outstanding. However, the service although starting out ok, moved to average at best. The food was served together with the exception of the pizza which came out 15 minutes after the other dinners were served. In addition, the waitress seem to more busy with other tables than to occasionally at best swing by. We had asked for another coke & more water twice but finished eating before even getting them. The dinners were ok. The steak was burnt on one end raw on the other end after requesting medium well. The pizza after waiting for it, had a soggy crust and a very bland taste. Overall would say average at the very best. read more

It's a nice place inside, but the food wasn't very good. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and there was almost no chicken. My wife had the fish and chips and she said she thought it was packaged frozen and not very good. The waitress was ok, but wasn't at all friendly or inviting. The view from the dining room is a sliver of the lake between some trees that I imagine is pretty nice in winter when there are no leaves. And they have another dining area that may have better views, but that's not where they sat us so I can't say. It wasn't crowded at all, so I'm guessing you have to ask to sit there, not sure. I wouldn't say it was the worst experience we've had in the area, but it wasn't good enough that I'm looking forward to going back. My neighbor tells me we have to try a place at least 3 times before making a decision on if it's good or not. But there are much better places in the area so I don't know how soon our second visit will be. read more

The Dock - Crispy chicken sandwich. - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

Thanksgiving meal was a failure this year. Last year when they offered the option of table service vs buffet ( I choose table service) it was a wonderful experience. This year there was no option. Made reservations and when my party of 5 arrived we had to wait 15 minutes at counter before someone let us know to go downstairs to get seated. Only at that point we found out it was buffet style. While on the line ( waited another 5 mins) we heard other parties questioning about not knowing this was going to be buffet style option only. Got seated and took waiter 10 mins to come and take drink order. Food was dry and overcooked ( salmon, mashed potatoes, Turkey, stuffed pork loin , stuffing , string beans , stuffed shells, etc). We were practically done eating when our drinks finally arrived ( 30 mins ). Was understaffed and chaotic. Took forever to get second round of drinks, desert , and finally the check. We were there for 2 hours ( reservations at 4 pm, paid check at 6 pm ). If next year it's buffet style again , I will not be back. read more

We are staying in the area and decided to take a trip to my husband's favorite childhood campgrounds (Iron Wood Resort). We couldn't get to that area due to the heavy snow, so decided to find a place on Lake Wallenpaupack for an early lunch. We decided on The Dock. When we arrived we noticed no one else in the restaurant. We love new adventures so decided to give this place a try. We were greeted warmly and introduced to our server Ashley. Ordered drinks and appetizers. All I can say is WOW! Loved the Bang Bang Shrimp, but the Bourbon Meatballs were so freaking good!! I had a pomegranate martini that was simply perfect. Hubby had tea. Someone had to be the DD. Lunch was spectacular, hubby had the Tiajuana cheesesteak, I had a crab cake sandwich. Delicious. Service was perfect. Friendly, not rushed, knowledgeable. I can't recommend this place enough. Can't wait to come back this summer! 10/10 would eat there again. read more

The place has potential to be very good, but there is a big mismatch between the prices charged and the quality of the food. I understand that this is a touristy location, but at least give some food that you could justify the higher costs. If you stick with the basics (burgers, sandwiches and such) you'll probably be fine. But buyer beware on the 40 dollar+ entrees, you will be sorely disappointed. Very little seafood in the dishes and food is overall bland. Cocktails aren't great either. This place is probably a one and done for most people, after they try it they won't be back. read more

The Dock on Wallenpaupack is, like many or even most restaurants these days, a victim of a new American labor revolution. This means that your server is likely less trained, less conscientious and less productive. That said, the food at the Dock on Wallenpaupack was excellent. But the wait staff, and management through poor training and incompetence detracts from the kitchen's excellent creations. Two of our party ordered the Champagne Chicken which I'm told was very good. It was served with rice and broccoli or cauliflower. They were served "refrigerator cold"; not just warm after sitting on the counter and left to cool but refrigerator cold... Two(2) problems with this. One was that the server served it. She should have known better. Why didn't she notice the dishes were cold. But she obviously wasn't trained well enough or didn't care. This, however, is a correctable circumstance but for for the manager. Jil was her name. When we complained she actually suggested that the wall fan near our table cooled the dish...We were all dumbfounded... The dish ARRIVED cold... It wasn't on the table long enough to be cooled by the fan... A defensive and thoughtless assertion from a poorly trained manager. Back to the food. The red snapper dish was excellent as were the fish tacos... In the tacos, the chef did something with red cabbage, a sweet and sour thing, that added a delightful layer of flavor to this very tasty fish taco dish. Their "market fish" special for the night were scallops. These were done perfectly. The bottom line here is that Dock on Wallenpaupack is an excellent restaurant plagued with the unfortunate labor circumstances we all find ourselves in. In addition this particular restaurant has moved from "owner-operator" management to "corporate management", The Dock now being part of a large hotel resort chain. This has not helped the end product. This aside, I will return to try their many delicious dishes but will be extra vigilant to assure the wait staff doesn't detract to an otherwise excellent dining experience. read more

The Dock - The Dock's Fish Taco - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

Highly recommended!! Amazing food and great views. Dinner tonight was so delicious. We started off with the bang bang shrimp and lobster bisque which were delicious. I had the Cobb salad and my husband had the crab cakes. Absolutely amazing and worth every penny. Honestly Everything was reasonably priced. Lenny was our server and he was outstanding. Friendly, hospitable, and professional. He did a wonderful job through and through. This place is Perfect for a sunset view and great photo ops. I recommend sitting outside to take in the full experience. Right on the lake. Would absolutely come back if you see ever in town again ! read more

Service was very slow and waited to be seated. No big deal but unforgivable to charge $22 for a salmon Cobb salad and have a tiny sliver of salmon and the rest just lettuce with a few scattered tomatoes/cucumber/one egg slivered into several pieces. Just taking advantage there. read more

Service was great, servers were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the food was not. After a great evening of views and good service we were really dissatisfied with our meal. My boyfriend, who spent $32 on the special which was the steak tips, spent the rest of the evening with food poisoning. The pasta sat in a bed of liquid, not sauce, and the portion of meat was small. He instantly felt ill upon finishing his meal. The bathrooms were also disgusting, which seemed to be a foreshadowing of how well the food is handled. I would only recommend this place for ambiance and drinks... but save yourself from a night with your head in the toilet and skip the entrees. read more

Called to place a lunch order while on the lake and was told the only way to order was online. Not only does this logically not make any sense as I was speaking with someone on the phone who could've easily taken my order had she wanted to be helpful. Extremely rude staff. Impossible to order online with the sun glaring off phone. Not only did the staff not offer to help they could not have cared less. The reviews did this dump are spot on. Steer clear. read more

I have passed by this place numerous times on the way to the lake. After googling their menu and saw the rave reviews about their "lobster roll" I decided to go. After taking a seat at the bar, I noticed one other person seated at the bar. He said "the bartender has been gone for ten minutes" he wasn't kidding. After sitting there another 5 minutes she finally came over to take my drink order. I also told her I'd like the lobster roll to which she replied "we haven't had that since last year" I then asked for a menu and asked her what she suggests is good on the menu. She replied "pizza" I'm looking at a menu full of pasta, steak, lobster and she replied with pizza. The guy sitting at the bar had actually ordered a pizza. His complaint was the pizza was half burnt and half undercooked. Not sure how they managed that. I decided to go with a Caesar salad. I was asked if I wanted any shrimp, steak or chicken so I went with the chicken. The salad was brought out. The salad was good however the chicken was over cooked and dry, and was NOT cooked to order. It was evident the chicken was sitting for a day or two. I had 1 bite of the chicken and did not touch the rest. The bartender never asked about the meal, never came back to refill my drink or the other guy. Instead it appeared there was a gathering of employees in the kitchen area where they were all sitting on prep tables talking, I saw one person eating. I had to waive my arms in the air to get the attention of one of the employees who then motioned to the bartender to come out. I then told the bartender my opinion of the chicken which I didn't eat, she somewhat argued with me when I asked if it was cooked fresh, which it wasn't. I then asked for a 2nd beer to which she looks at her watch as if to indicate she's ready to close the bar. Bottom line is this place both literally and figuratively left a BAD TASTE in my mouth. When there are more employees than customers and you still receive horrible service there's something wrong. If you can't be polite and helpful to customers you should quit your job or be fired. I paid $22 for a salad with old grilled, cold chicken. The bill was not adjusted nor did anyone care to discuss the issue. The bartender should be ashamed of herself, and the owner needs to really sit down with the staff here and make some big changes. From the looks of the reviews on yelp, changes definitely need to be made. First and last time customer here. read more

Very disappointing dining experience!! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very unorganized and distracted, talking to other people at the bar. We ordered boneless chicken wings that were basically chicken nuggets, like you get at McDonalds , for $18.00. Not real chicken, flaked and formed chicken nuggets. The pizza was ok. We complained about the chicken and the bartender asked if we wanted something else. We waited a while for our lunch and didn't want to wait for another meal. We were surprised that there was no adjustment on our bill. I will never go back. read more

Came here tonight for lake side dinning. Couldn't ask for a better day to be outside by the lake watching the sunset. Our waitress Lexy was phenomenal.

I'm sort of up in the air on this place. The first time we went here was over the summer and we sat on the deck. It was certainly a nice view of the area but what ruined it for me was the guy they had playing guitar and singing. Don't get me wrong; I love music. But when people are eating you should have them leave the singing out of the equation. Either straight guitar music or piano music and at a low level. We could barely hear each other as we tried to talk. We came back again and ate inside this time. It was February. The service was considerably slower but I don't fault the server one bit because she was handling serving drinks at the bar and serving several tables in the dining room. The food for the most part was unremarkable but decent. Seems like a nice place to hang out and have a few beers though. read more

This restaurant's rating of 3 stars is perfectly fitting. The view is beautiful, however the service while super polite, was exceedingly slow. We got drinks, a few apps and family style entrees. The mac and cheese and calamari were good, but the entrees were just ok at best. The drinks were not good (especially at $12 a piece) and took longer than our apps to come out. Come by for the view for lunch/dinner on a nice day, but wouldn't go out of my way for the food. read more

Waited over an hour for food. Asked for some cheese for my pasta dish and i didn't get any until my last few bites. Waiter never refilled my water even asking multiple times. Food is average and way overpriced for the quality. Outdoor dining was littered with cobwebs, bugs, and a dirty floor. Electrical outlets had wires hanging out of them as well. Had to be extremely cautious not to touch them as I got up or sat at the table. Unbelievable experience, and not in a good way. read more

A man started working on a broken table in the middle of the dining room after we sat, red underwear hanging out plumbers crack, can of WD40, loud noise, hammers, loud carpet sweeper, arguing staff members, raw bacon on my burger, tuna must not be sushi grade for the poke bowl since when we tried to order it raw the response from the chef was we have to cook it to kill the bacteria = my dining experience. A piece of advice fix the table in your other room or when the dining room isn't full of paying customers. read more

I am reviewing the new music and picnic atmosphere on the lawn that they have on Saturday afternoons now. I hate to leave a bad review but I believe this does a great disservice to paying guests! As a paying guests we come for the beautiful lake and peaceful scenery. There was absolutely no parking and with all the free loaders NO WIFI!!!! We couldn't use the internet until the picnic music concert was over. When you pay to stay at a hotel you shouldn't be treated this way. read more

The Dock - View from inside restaurant - Bars Near Me - Hawley, Pennsylvania

Just okay food but very overpriced. For lunch we had a bowl of chili, French Onion soup, flank steak salad and a Rubin sandwich with iced teas for $70.00 plus tip. The boathouse right down the street is less expensive and the food is at least the same quality. My flank steak was full of grissel and low quality for the price. You think charging such high prices for lunch they would at least trim the flank steak. The staff was friendly and the view nice but your going for the food they really have to look closely at their prices. On average $20.00 for a hamburger??? We won't be back soon. read more

If you are going to charge 24 dollars for a medium size bowl of pasta then you should at least offer a salad or bread. Not worth the trip.
