The Gorge is a find! We enjoyed dinner so much we came back for lunch and were fortunate to have Brooke help us both visits. She was awesome! Food was all delicious and the atmosphere is comfortable. As a farm to table spot the food was noticably fresh and the chef uses interesting flavor and spice combinations! The fresh gnudi was fabulous! I loved all of the plants and fancy hose!

I LOVED this place. We got her around 3 so they were only doing their lunch menu as dinner starts at 4. We got the sour watermelon margarita and a coconut lemonade mojito-my mojito was missing the mint but was still good. We got the short rib nachos, a BLT burger with hand cut fries fried in beef tallow and a BBQ Burger with poutine! The burgers were absolutely delicious. The playlist was great. The ambiance was even better-love the old mill vibes-they've done such a nice job with all the plants everywhere. The bar was huge. This is an awesome space good for couples to large groups. Plenty of parking in the mill parking lot. We still have 6 days here and might repeat this restaurant thats how good it was. read more

What a fun cozy atmosphere and an excellent menu! we had trouble deciding on what to order. The items we chose were so tasty. We came for dinner one night and had to come back for lunch the next day! Brooke is a superstar and was so friendly and attentive. read more

Food delicious, visually appetizing. Excellent waiter service, drinks kept full. Very comfortable inside, nice decor.

I'm on a keto diet now so all of the amazing carbs on the menu were driving me crazy trying to pick something in line with what I should have. I picked the French press coffee, Mediterranean salad and added grilled chicken. My friend picked the cinnamon bun and was very pleased. The vibe with the plants is always great. Our server, Eliza, was fantastic. read more

I felt completely deceived by this place after looking it up online. The menu was different from what I'd seen, and the food definitely didn't live up to the glowing reviews. We went here for Sunday brunch and I ordered the Barman's Breakfast, and it was honestly pretty blah -- the hash browns and cheese sauce were extremely salty, which threw off the entire dish. Everything from the presentation to the actual food was disappointing. I ended up leaving most of it. They also advertise themselves as dog-friendly, but that turned out to be false in our case. We had two small pups in our group who weren't allowed in, and since the patio was closed, some of our group had to wait outside and skip the meal entirely. We tried asking the hostess multiple times, but no luck. To make things worse, my friend, a vegetarian, ordered a salad clearly marked as vegetarian, only to find bacon pieces in it. The server replaced it but wasn't remotely apologetic about the mistake. We got some truffle fries for the table that were burnt to a crisp and extremely oily. Wouldn't have imagined that they can't even get a plate of fries right, but I should have guessed after wasting the hash browns on my plate. Overall, it was just a really disappointing experience. Between the misleading info, poor service, and below-average food, I am baffled how this place has any good reviews. The only nice thing about it was the vibe and decor were pretty cute. read more

Came across this spot when attempting to go to Jim Thorpe but changed paths as it was too busy there and so glad we did. The space is so beautiful with tons of plants. Staff very welcoming. We had the bacon eggs Benedict and the French toast bites. Everything was delicious. The coffee was great. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

The Gorge Eatery - Truffle FRESH CUT FRIES, espresso martinis and IRISHMAN BURGERs! - New American Near Me - Weissport, Pennsylvania

After attending a local pow-wow behind the Mill, we decided to stay close and dine at the restaurant. Single patty burger with side of poutine and one burger with a side of mixed salad, greens, n/c. Our server asked if we wanted burgers pink or no pink and those options really don't work when I like medium. Anyhow, the side salad's dressing of a light balsamic was a good choice. The only downside was that roll arrived charred on both sides from the oil on flat top? Or from some type of butter/oleo. The beef was good quality. The mushrooms were meaty, the cheese melted nicely. The fries in the poutine were wilted and probably re-purposed from previous day by adding gravy and cheese curds to top. $7 up charge in addition to $17 burger cost. Delighted to taste the fry bread with Berry compote and whipped cream. $7 read more

Wow, Yelp does it again! The recommendations were on point. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so vibrant and inviting. I absolutely loved the added bonus of a plant shop right there in the venue. I had to hold myself back from grabbing plants before our cocktails even arrived--it was such a tempting experience! Good eats and cool vibes all around! read more

The Gorge Eatery - Plants galore - New American Near Me - Weissport, Pennsylvania

Shining Gem inside a converted mill. Enter to a lush plant life filled open atmosphere with large windows & repurposed decor providing a distinct quality menu. The Cheese Curds were amazing (next level delicious) & Pierogi were elevated homemade goodness. Alas, those all disappeared before I got pictures. Burger was massive and cooked as ordered. Entrees were good quality, but were lacking in portion size. Service was friendly & quick, though sometimes inattentive, but she was handling both interior & exterior tables...not easy. Couldn't have been happier with our choice as we passed through the Poconos! Antique Singer sewing machine steel bases with maple cutting board table tops were a nice touch. 4.5 Stars read more

This place was awesome! Was traveling through PA while visiting family and found this spot! The vibe here was really cool with all the plants in the dining area. The cocktails here were great and the food was phenomenal! We started with the Bad Farms Cheese Curds, which tasted like funnel cake infused cheese curds. For our mains, my wife got the Mushroom French Dip and I got the Truffle Shuffle. Both were excellent. Finally, we decided to try the Earl Grey Creme Brulee. This creme brulee was so good I will be craving forever! The service here was great and we'd definitely come back next time we pass through the area. We're always on the search for great places that are vegetarian friendly and this checked all the boxes! It seems like they also have a nice private room for events, which would probably be great based on the food at drinks we had. Only tip I'd give people coming here is to take care in the parking lot depending on your car because the entire lot is gravel. read more

The food was delicious. Great presentation. Highly recommend. And! Their cafe is perfect for a specialty coffee or matcha in the morning.

Food is tasty, portions are very small. Prices are about average in general, but because of the portion size they're actually a bit steep. Ambiance is unique in a good way. Parking lot is stone and can be dusty. Don't go with a freshly washed car. read more

do not book any kind of event here!! My fiance and I planned our microwedding here and were originally so excited to use the beautiful private event room with the rustic/farmhouse vibes. Unfortunately there were too many issues for us to feel safe hosting our big day here. The first part of the process was fine, they have many stipulations such as 100$/hr additional fee for moving tables as well as no outside drinks (these were listed in the event packet so I understood that). I had drove by the hofford mill back in September of 2025 and saw a "for sale" sign on it. I emailed the gorge to ask if this would affect our wedding in ANY WAY, they said no. I requested a call from the event coordinator a few months later (Feb) to iron final details out - in conversation she told me that the building had been purchased and that they were replacing all the tables/chairs, adding a window possibly, and possibly painting. This would completely alter the "vibe" of our wedding venue. This made my fiance and I feel extremely stressed and upset since we had already paid the deposit and finished our invites with all the info for the gorge on it for our guests. I emailed them and asked for a refund of our $500 deposit and listed the reasons as to why. They emailed back telling me that there were "no material changes to the venue, management, or your event reservation that would affect the function or availability of the space for your event." And refused the refund of our full amount stating that the wedding packet we originally got said non refundable... it didn't (see below images) I also had another packet and brochure from them, none of which said non-refundable. There also was NO CONTRACT, so no legal reason to hold the money. They offered a $250 refund as a goodwill gesture, however I explained that personally I believe we should still get our full refund due to the fact that no services were rendered and I did my due diligence in asking if anything would change from the sale of the building and they said no months ago. Very stressful and upsetting, has made the wedding planning process harder than it needed to be. read more

We stopped here after we found out the nearby town we planned to go to was basically shut down for a witch's street festival! After our GPS gave us the runaround we finally found it and were very happy we did! The restaurant is in an old mill and there's a coffee shop in it as well as a brand new gift shop in the front of the building. There were beautiful plants hanging all around- made for a nice atmosphere. We were seated fairly quickly but then no one waited on us . After our server realized no one had waited on us she took over and did a great job. I think they are most likely short of help - like everyone else! We started with cocktails- I had a very lovely espresso martini and my husband had a bourbon pineapple smash. Both were quite good. We shared a Mediterranean salad that was delicious- it had a lemon mint vinaigrette that was amazing. He got the pork picatta that was really tasty. I had perogies that were really yummy - they could have used a few more of the onions on top, but I was very happy! I also got some fried shrimp and crab balls that were nice . Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. I wouldn't hesitate to eat there again if I am in the area! read more

The food was DELICIOUS, the atmosphere charming and well decorated, and the staff was very accommodating towards our friends dog (a pitbull). They have outdoor seating for pets and their owners. The staff also gave us a water bowl for him. I got the truffle fries, mushroom burger, poutine, and cheese curds. All of it was amazing but my favorite was honestly the poutine! Amazing gravy and cheese ratio per fry. I'll be back! read more

This is such an absolute beautiful, magical fairyland! The plants inside .... They're all for sale! The food was delicious. We had filet mignon, burgers, French dip and everyone was happy. There were 6 of us for my father's birthday and we made reservations. Perfect size table, our service was great and I talked with the owner for a few minutes. What a nice lady!! I told her if I had a business, that's exactly how I would decorate it. Bravo!! Will be back for sure!! read more

We've been here a few times over a few years and the experience has been great every time. Service is always great while the menu is hit or miss as they seem to change it every time we are here. The food is always delicious but they tend to focus to much on mixing savory with sweet. The restaurant itself is in an old hosery mill and provides a nice setting for lunch or dinner. read more

The food was very good. We are always looking for new places to try and this place was a score. It is industrial farmhouse, we liked the vibe. Service was great, our waitress was busy but always made us feel acknowledged. One of the owners stopped by for a chat as well. We went for brunch and can't wait to try dinner one night. read more

5/14/22 let me just say that my GPS had a hell of a time trying to find this place, and unfortunately the exterior of the building doesn't have great signage but what you will see is a sign pointing to the parking lot off of the main road, Bridge Street. My GPS kept taking me around in circles and I was ready to give up and I was actually on my way home and then I finally saw the parking lot. I'm glad I decided to turn around and pull in because it was a great experience. I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while I have an Instagram page where I have no friends, I just follow businesses and things that I'm interested in and Gorge is one of those places. And even though I don't drink I was really struck by the innovative and creative drinks that I've seen pictured on Gorge's Instagram. The food always looks so delicious when they show the weekend specials. I had made a reservation for a few weeks ago but unfortunately there was a family emergency and I had to cancel that reservation. Since I was in the area I thought it was a great time to try Gorge and I don't typically like to go to restaurants during peak time, so we went at around 4 PM. My husband and I opted to sit at the bar because we feel that you usually get better service at the bar as opposed to a table in our experiences. The bartender Lindsay was awesome! It was evident how much she really genuinely loved her job and she was very friendly and personable. I like the fact that she took pride in the restaurant and the food. When I requested suggestions she was very happy to direct me. I could tell that she was honest and I got a really good feeling from her. Another girl we were speaking to behind the bar was named Mariah and she was very sweet and kind. These girls made our experience highly excellent. We truly felt welcome thanks to their hospitality. It wasn't easy to make a decision on what to order because everything looked so mouthwatering we good. For an appetizer we opted to get the Irish eggrolls I chose that because I thought my husband would really like that a lot because of the brisket and sauerkraut that was in there. I really enjoyed it ask for the garlic aïoli sauce to enhance the flavor. Lindsay,our server and bartender, recommended the garlic aïoli sauce and it was stupendous I really thoroughly enjoyed this appetizer it was so good. My husband chose the French dip special that was really delicious it was served on a flatbread, almost like a Panini style with plenty of au jus. I chose something I typically would never order and it was a chicken sandwich called the Mac Millionaire. It was a delicious chunk of breaded chicken breast that was topped with macaroni and cheese onion straws which really seems like homemade fried onion rings, and some barbecue sauce. It was absolutely phenomenal we both enjoyed our sandwiches tremendously. I couldn't resist dessert, so I ordered their special puff pastry with blueberry compote and vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream was from BAD Farms, that is the name of that business in Kempton. The one thing I learned is that this restaurant likes to feature local favorites, like that special ice cream I mentioned. They feature beers from local breweries, and they also offer wines from nearby Jim Thorpe. I love that pride in the community. The restaurant is within what used to be an old Silk Mill and there are some other businesses in there as well such as an ax throwing place (make reservations) and a coffee shop called uncommon grounds. Apparently there is some sort of a hostel where people can stay over if they're in the area enjoying the bike trails, I don't know much about the other businesses. I really can't wait to go back and I'm super excited to bring my family back to this wonderful establishment and I hope I am lucky enough to get a chance to sit with Lindsey and Mariah again. A resounding five star review!! If I could give 10 stars I would. The food quality, the service, the personality of our bartenders/servers, and the atmosphere is simply beautiful. I do think they grow their own spices and possibly some of their vegetables? But don't quote me on that. I saw quite a few plants being grown that I think were herbs or some kind of seasonings. The exterior of the building does no justice to the restaurant's interior. It is really beautiful it's sleek, modern, and clean. I love rocks and crystals and they have a display of those too. read more

We stopped here twice on our weekend trip to Jim Thorpe, once on a Friday afternoon for a couple beers at the bar and once for Saturday night dinner with reservations. It was definitely a lot more relaxing and laid back with 4 of us at the bar on Friday afternoon. We were the only ones at the bar and most of the tables were empty. The bartender was very nice and answered all of our questions with a smile on her face. I had a couple different beers which I enjoyed and the drinks looked phenomenal. A few people in our party ordered chicken sandwiches which they enjoyed (big and very crispy). The cheese curds were drizzled with honey and were also very good. Our dinner experience, at least to me, felt rushed and more hectic. It was busy. I ordered a brisket sandwich with topped with Mac and cheese. The brisket was phenomenal but the Mac and cheese didn't really do it for me and the rye bread was not toasted at all. I'd absolutely get the brisket again on a different sandwich instead of with the Mac and cheese. The nachos were huge and looked (and tasted great). The margarita was also really good and instead of simple syrup they sweeten it with maple syrup (loved this) which made it rich. The house made jumbo tater tots were actually great. I'm not a big tots person but these were very worth ordering. The drinks also looked very good but small for the price. Overall our service was good both nights. I'd come back here but probably would avoid for dinner. I'd much rather come back to relax and sit at the bar. One last thing I found to be extremely odd. We needed to make a $100 deposit for our reservation on Saturday night which is fine, but we were told we'd only be refunded the deposit if we give the waitress a slip (they gave us upon arrival) at the end of dinner prior to paying the bill. Not something I really want to have to think about the entire night while I'm eating dinner. read more

My family and I stumbled across The Gorge on our way through the Poconos and had a great time. Our server, Angela, was incredibly well versed in the menu and very friendly. She took my dad's corny jokes like a champ and remained nice and helpful the whole night. The food was marvelous and definitely surpassed our expectations for what Lehighton/Weissport area had to offer. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and loved it. They were generous with the chicken, the sauce was great, and the bread was fitting. I was also curious about their mac-n-cheese menu and ordered the pork mac and cheese. I was surprised at how much I liked it. Pork and Mac n Cheese doesn't isn't necessarily a natural pairing, but The Gorge made it work! I doubt I'll ever be in the area again, but if you are I would recommend giving it a go. read more

Stopped by for brunch on a whim and was not disappointed. A great rare culinary gem in the area. Great food and cocktails.

The steak was outstanding. Server was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!! We will be back.

On our drive back home from a golf trip up in PA we had brunch at this bright peaceful quaint restaurant located adjacent to the Lehigh River in Weissport PA. It is located inside The Hofford Mill, which also has a coffee bar and a bike rental shop. The restaurant sales plants as well. The menu was a la carte and prices were a little expensive because you had to order your sides separately. We ordered a chicken sandwich, monte cristo sándwich deep fried in pancake batter with strawberry compote (a first for me), and we shared poutine fries. Everything was delicious. To drink, I ordered a glass of house rosé and a peachy juicy mocktail. We sat at the bar and had wonderful service. The ambiance has a laidback vibe. Price for everything with a 20% tip was $52.00, a little on the expensive side for the area. read more

Very nice location in a cool old silk mill. Nice and bright - open loft and floor plan. Service was good- food not so much. Started off with crab dip...which was bland served with tortilla chips which many were stale. Poor presentation as well. I got the pork snitzel which was covered with brown tastless gravy. Was no longer crispy. Came with mashed potatoes and some undercooked green beans. Hubs got beef tip sandwich with sweet potato fries...tips were dry and overcooked. He did not care for it too much. Nice beer and drink menu. I enjoyed the lemon blueberry shandy. read more

It's been a long time since I've been this disappointed. All of these photos are BS. I ordered a chicken dish for $21, it took 45 minutes to come out, and it couldn't have had more than 2 oz of chicken on it. What a waste of a Saturday. How can I get my Saturday night back? read more

Was in town for a Penn's Peak show and stopped here. Very nice ambiance and great service. The food was good but, a la carte. Thinking a $12-15 sandwich should come with fries or chips instead of $4 more for a small fry order. Also, a Tom Collins style glass full of lemonade should not be $7! Crazy. If you're headed to a show at Penn's Peak, eat there. They have a nice restaurant with some good choices on the menu. They also have a bar area which has some nice views. Overall, a nice place to grab a bite, just be wary of the above. read more

Hot Pants Chicken Sandwich was good. Cole slaw had distinct flavor, may be horseradish. French Press Coffee was smooth and served in a French Press. The Montrealer stuffed with beef brisket with swiss cheese & Russian dressing was good. Asparagus with prosciutto really good. Warm butter cake with blueberries sooo good. Waitress Kelly provided excellent service. read more

Located in a small town right off a major highway, the Gorge offers just enough if you're in a pinch. Funny enough, while I am not from the area and this was my first time, I happened to visit on a Friday night when they were debuting new menus. The place was decently crowded and the restaurant has a ton of plants that give it a natural homey vibe. The place was clean, modern, and had nice bathrooms as well. My only complaint was that it was cold enough inside for me to keep my winter jacket on for most of the time which sucked, need to turn up the heat! (it was probably 20 degrees outside that night). Anyways, after waiting 30 minutes after ordering we got our mushroom crostini as an appetizer and it was pretty solid, had great flavor and texture. Then after another 15-30 minutes our entrees arrived. I saw some decent reviews regarding their tater tots so I chose them as a side, they were slightly undercooked/cold and had almost no flavor to them, I would not recommend. I had the Luigi chicken sandwich and would order it again, but maybe with the Mac and cheese as a side instead. read more

We stopped here for dinner before an event we had in Lehighton. It was our second option because the restaurant we wanted to go to in Jim Thorpe was packed but I'm so glad that was the case because we loved this place! First of all the decor is gorgeous, you walk in and it's like you have stepped into a greenhouse, so many different plants and fairy lights. The staff was very friendly, we came in without a reservation but they were able to get us seated quickly as we came in at an odd time. For drinks, I got the Mango in the Coconut Mojito ($11) which was sweet and refreshing, the dried mango garnish was also a delicious touch. Ryan got an old fashioned that he said was really good. We got an appetizer of the Bad Farm Cheese Curds ($13) because we could not resist and I'm so glad we did because they were the best cheese curds I've had anywhere. The batter was light and crispy, like a tempura batter instead of a heavy breading, and the rosemary infused maple syrup was a perfect complement and added a nice sweetness. I got the Irishman Burger ($13) for my entree it wasn't the best burger but it was still good. They give you the option to get it pink or no pink. I ordered it pink but there wasn't really any pink in the burger at all but it wasn't dry, which is good. The candied bacon on it was delicious and I loved the egg twist bun that they used it tasted like a brioche. Ryan got the Mediterranean Chicken ($21) for his entree. The chicken was so soft and tender and the cold couscous salad was very flavorful and made it the perfect dish for summer. We then ended with dessert, we got the Raspberry Lemon Trifle ($8). They soaked the lady fingers in elderflower liquor and you could for sure taste it, this is not a kid friendly dessert. But the raspberry filling was delicious and you could tell they used fresh raspberries to make it. We really loved this place and would come back for the cheese curds alone. If you are in the area definitely stop by! read more

My fiancé, and I came here on a Sunday. We were sat down, and it took a while for our waiter to come around, but he let us know that they had a waiter call out so they were short staffed. Totally understandable. We ordered our drinks and he brought those to us then we ordered our food. Our French toast sticks, which were delicious, came out pretty quickly. The rest of our food took close to an hour to come out. We actually had somewhere else to be so we ended up asking our waiter for boxes so that we could pack up our food once it was brought to our table. So as far as the French toast sticks there, delicious, the service from our waiter was fine, however, the service from the kitchen left a lot to be desired. We received no apology or anything at that moment. I later got a phone call from Brittany who left a voicemail apologizing for what it happened and saying she wanted to rectify it and some thing about the charge to our card, but the voicemail cut out. I tried to call back two times and nobody picked up. We were never given any sort of refund or anything. I ended up not calling back again because it really isn't about the money, it's about the service or lack their of. But if you do happen to come here, order the French toast sticks. It was the only thing I got to enjoy. read more
