I have been in the buisness for over 25 yrs and trust me when I say they need to train their staff. After friends joined me we decided to sit at a high top by the bar and proceeded to wait another 5 or 6 min. To get menus. Server was inattentive and food was sub par at best I ordered a burger with fries hmm bow can you screw that up well ,temp was wrong,topping light, fries were well let's just say I got 14 of them seriously cost of a potato is cheap give your guest some fries please... customers at bar were drunk,rude, and kept eye balling my girlfriend. Not an atmosphere that I would want to come to. Made her very uncomfortable . $$$ drinks and beer was $$$ too. Remember You are in Barto pa. Not in the city. If you want to be successful look at your demographics. Look at average income per house hold in area. GOOD LUCK if you can't get a burger right and you can't train your staff to be attentive and stay off the cell phones. Than you need to rethink why you are in buisness .

So I'm giving 5 stars only for the pure fact I met a friend there and only drank water. The staff…read morewas nice and my girl food looked fresh and she ate it all. I read the other reviews and felt the need to add one. 1. Staff seemed nice did we become best if friends.....no I dont go to bars to become friends. And nor would I think it's wrong they are on their phones. 2. Your in Barto. It's a red neck town that reminds me of breaking bad. Do u think your gonna get a bar like atmosphere like you would in a big city or even more populated town. I'm just impress it's not a drug bar like there was in my small town. So 5 stars there. 3. If I wasnt paid I wouldnt work at a place. I read somewhere they dont pay the staff. Ok. They rent rooms above . Ever think they live there rent free. That's payment .or idk they really are getting a paycheck. 4. Cant stress it's under new ownership there will be bumps. It was pretty busy when I was there I was actually impressed being a random bar like this.

The bread component was extremely soggy & non existent. Overall the soup desperately needs help. *Bleu Cheese: straight outta the Restaurant Store and unremarkable. These wings are sensational, and an elevated bleu cheese would have taken them to new heights! The cook on the wings was exquisite! New place for us now for great wings! Great craft beer selection, if that's your thing. I was happy to find Garage Beer Lime ‍ on tap. The staff was sensational. I am already looking forward to my next trip, but Im gonna bring my own bleu cheese. #rushieeats

I have never been here before but wanted a nice dinner to celebrate, and this was just the place!…read moreWe were seated within a minute or two of waiting. The service was very quick and our server (I forget her name, I think Melanie or something close, sorry!) was wonderful and kind. She got our drink order right away, and the water came out within a minute or two, while our cocktails came out just two or three minutes after. We were given some warm rolls with what I assume was garlic butter. Great start, the butter was super garlicky which I personally loved. The fried mozzarella was the appetizer of choice, and it is wonderful especially for the price ($10)! The outside was crispy like a fritter but the inside had a perfect cheese pull. The drinks were creative, and the right level of strong where it broke up the food nicely. Plus they were super pretty so we had to take a picture of them. We didn't have to wait and search for our server at any point, which is always an A+ in my book. The main food was great, warm, fresh, and we were checked on twice by the food runner and the server, which always makes any meal just that much greater. We got our food almost right after we finished our appetizer, and I truly have zero complaints. The burger was big, and not too greasy, a good bun that doesn't fall apart, and crispy fries with that as well. When we were nearly finished, the manager, I assume the manager, came by and checked on everything, so I know there is a lot of care put into training and maintaining, and you can feel that you are getting more than just a meal, but they make sure that it is an experience. The restaurant was quiet at first, but even as it filled it was still perfect volume, there is beautiful wood beams inside, and a calm and warm lighting. Maybe it was a great day, or better yet, this is just a wonderful restaurant, with an aesthetic setting, great staff, yummy food, and tasty drinks. I WILL be back, if nothing else for the mozzarella, yum.

I've had a lot of bad restaurant experiences, but this one takes the cake for sheer absurdity…read more We've been coming here for years to celebrate a family member's birthday. This visit ends that tradition. I ordered a veggie grinder. No tomato, no mayo -- that's it, that was the entire modification. My server, who I want to be very clear was fantastic, confirmed she understood exactly what I wanted since she's vegetarian herself and orders the same thing. What arrived was a bun with cheese, pickles, and peppers. Not a "vegetables" sandwich by any definition. When I pointed out this wasn't even close to what I ordered, my server went back to have it corrected -- a completely reasonable ask for a mistake that was 100% on the kitchen. She came back looking rattled and told me the kitchen had yelled at her and refused to remake it, and that I should just pick something else instead. Let that sink in: the kitchen botched an incredibly basic order, got asked to fix their own mistake, and responded by berating their own server and stonewalling the customer rather than just doing their job. This isn't a case of a complicated substitution or a busy kitchen slammed during a rush. It's putting vegetables on a sandwich. The fact that the staff back there couldn't manage that -- and then had the nerve to act put-upon when asked to correct it -- tells you everything about how that kitchen is run. Whoever is managing that line needs serious retraining, because right now they're making their front-of-house staff absorb the fallout for their own incompetence. The server deserves a raise for keeping her composure under pressure. The kitchen deserves to have their heads examined. After years of celebrating birthdays here, we won't be back -- and I'd think twice before ordering anything that requires the kitchen to follow basic instructions.

Last year we sat at the bar on a whim and the bartender, who was here tonight was fabulous! We had a great meal. Tonight we sat near the bar with reservations. The ambiance is beautiful, the service is warm and excellent. We had amazing drinks, the spicy hibiscus margaritas and the "not so old fashioned" were both top of the notch. Was offered the special soup, roasted red pepper, cauliflowers soup was ....perfect. The brussel sprout appetizer was stellar. I had the special Mahi Mahi with watermelon "salsa", tajin rice and green beans. Each bite was incredibly delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. My husband had the 14 oz strip steak with broccoli and smashed fingerling potatoes. We had no room for dessert but the ice cream was calling for me.. next time.

I decided I'm no longer gonna stop here on my way home after I paid almost $14 for a few tiny fried cauliflower balls. It's rare for me to leave a restaurant hungry and that's happened a couple times after having been at Jamison's. New York prices. French portions. They charge 20 to 30% more than anybody else and they're out deep in the woods with nothing spectacular but everything good. Perhaps because they're the only show in town they can get away with this, but I'll drive further next time.
