This is a family oriented bowling alley that holds many fond memories for my friends who grew up in…read moreVestal. My first experience with this place was during a League Bowling night. Coming from the city this was a phenomena that I had never seen before. I'm not a bowler, so all I really got to do was watch. I wanted to grab food but was turned away from the kitchen set up. It wasn't disgusting, just revolved around the fryer, and I wanted to watch my calorie count for the day. Prices are very fair and it seemed like a great set of lanes for people who enjoy bowling.

Terrible experience. Waited 30 minutes even though there were many lanes not being used…read more Ultimately given a lane in an overcrowded area. Weird guys next to me were overly possessive of chairs (not sure why 2 guys need 4 chairs!) I needed a place to sit so I could help my son put on his shoes and this guy plops his sneakers in the only open chair. He muttered something about saving seats because he was expecting friends, but mysteriously they never showed up.

Instead of politely asking me to move the vehicle, they left me a threatening note on the hood. Trying to scare me into moving it. I've lost all respect for this business and the men who run it.

This is our local pizza/bar/music joint for the past 15 years. So I'll rate it on the local…read morepizza/bar/music scale. Food first, pretty good if you avoid the frozen crap like fried shrimp, fried cheese stuff. The prepared dishes that they make are pretty good. Every once in a blue moon they do a pastrami sandwich special and that is phenomenal! Katz deli kinda of phenomenal. The pizza is fairly meh. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it mushy with 1/2 cooked dough but usually it's ok. The bar scene is pleasant but the mixed drinks are small. They have a decent selection of beers. The decor is standard for a local pizza/bar/music establishment and the staff has always be attentive in my experience. The manager is a great guy. They usually have a band or group on Fridays ranging from local talent to some pretty serious high quality acts. Always fun and it's not an expensive nite out so thumbs up for that.

She told us it would be done in five minutes. Mind you to go orders that came in after ours were coming out of the kitchen left and right. A couple who came in 15 minutes later than us got their food before ours. The waitress was very apologetic, said it was the kitchen. The food was not good would never come back again would not recommend this place.

Butcher-shop quality meets pit-master soul! Rating:…read more If you are anywhere near Sayre (or even just passing through on Route 220), do your stomach a favor and pull over. This isn't just "good for Pennsylvania" BBQ--this is legitimate, high-quality smokehouse craft. The Food: Coming from a butcher shop background, these guys clearly know their meat. * The Brisket: I'm picky about brisket, but theirs was rendered perfectly with a beautiful smoke ring. No knife needed. * Pulled Pork: Super juicy. I highly recommend getting it with the Southern Sweet sauce. * The Sides: Don't sleep on the Salt Potatoes (a local staple) or the Sweet Potato Biscuits. The biscuits are a total sleeper hit--slightly sweet, fluffy, and perfect for mopping up extra sauce. The Vibe: It's a classic, no-frills BBQ joint. It's clean, the staff is incredibly "small-town friendly," and you can tell it's a local favorite by how busy the takeout counter stays. There's a nice outdoor area if you want to eat in the fresh air, which is a big plus during the summer. The "Be Aware": They are closed on Sundays and Mondays, so don't make the mistake of driving out here on a weekend whim without checking the calendar! Also, the Burnt Ends sell out fast--if they have them when you walk in, buy them immediately. Verdict: Huge portions, fair prices, and meat that actually tastes like it spent time in a smoker. I'll definitely be back for a full rack of ribs next time.

The food is served in a pleasing fashion on metal trays with small bowls and platters, not the paper plates and plastic cutlery I was expecting. The barbecue is simply amazing. Probably some of the best I've ever had. I had both the cornbread and sweet potato biscuit, and they were both so good. The coleslaw was great. Even the side of steamed vegetables was very enjoyable, not simply microwave frozen vegetables; they were well cooked and well seasoned. One of the better eating experiences in this area and I look forward to returning.

The reason I'm going with the 5 star review is based on the exceptional service. Barbara hooked up all of my reservations much more efficiently than the app or the 800 number could. She provided a great long term stay rate and helped make adjustments when needed. When Barbara wasn't available Nicholas took great care of me. Exceptional service like that is rare and should be recognized. Fantastic job!
