It did take awhile for food and drinks to come out. I had the beef tips, which were generously portioned and very tasty. Cocktails were OK, but a bit unbalanced. Their gin martini - titled "the best martini in the US" (sic), did not live up to its namesake, but I still enjoyed it. The number of vegetarian/vegan menu items has shrunk from our prior visit a few years ago. It would be nice to have more diversity on the food menu. The price was fair, and I would definitely return.

Frogtown Chophouse has a cool atmosphere. It seems like a classic Poconos restaurant. They sent two…read moredifferent amuse bouche, which is very generous. Most of the food we had was good or very good. Our server was very nice and provided great service. She even handled the issue that makes this a 3 Star Review very well. The Manager did too. But if you're a respected chophouse, you can't get a steak wrong three times in a row. Frogtown offers a signature mixed grill experience that has a 16 ounce strip, a lobster tail, a crab cake, a few sides (whipped potatoes, long strips of carrots and delicious garlicky mushrooms). It's over $100, but really a pretty good value with all you get. My wife and I decided to split this. I ordered the steak medium rare, which is important to the review. The lobster tail was very good. The crab cake was meaty and good. The carrots were a highlight. The whipped potatoes were good. As was the creamed spinach the table shared. The calamari app (which was a bit heavy on the batter) and burrata app (needed more tomatoes) were both decent. The strip steak was the issue. As our server delivered the plate, she said "when you get a chance, could you cut the steak open and make sure it's done to your liking." I've never had a server in a nice steak restaurant ask me to do this before. It's not a good look. They should already know. I assumed she was concerned it was undercooked. I pressed my knife against the steak. Because I grill steaks, I knew that it was medium well or well done. I said "well, I can tell it's not underdone." I cut the steak down the middle. And it was medium well or well done. I very, very rarely send food back. But at a respected chop house, and at that price, I sent it back. And frankly, it wasn't a big deal at that stage because we had plenty of other food. A manager came out with a new steak. She apologized. Again, I was asked to cut it open. I pressed my knife against the new steak. I knew even before I cut it, because the steak squished as I pressed it. This time -- it wasn't even rare yet. So I had to send it back again. The steak came back. I cut it down the middle of one of the halves. It was a little more done, but it was on the borderline of being rare and undercooked still. I wasn't going to send the steak back a third time. So I ate the parts closest to the ends and sides. The steak was too chewy and underseasoned. I don't know what was going on. Maybe a regular chef was out and an inexperienced person had to step up. In any event, if you're famous for your steaks, you can't have those kinds of misses. Also, the plating of this experience could use a fresh look. Everything was put on the same plate and it was really crowded. 3 Stars

Honestly, it's a neighborhood Friendly's in the middle of nowhere PA -- no offense to the locals, I…read moremean that super respectfully -- and our experience was great! We got exactly what we came for and had no over-the-top expectations. The food was good, it came out fast, and the service was beyond friendly from every staff member we interacted with. Our server was super nice, made sure we were taken care of, and checked in on us from time to time without being overbearing. We ordered the fried pickles and a few meals. My kids weren't that hungry, so they had smaller meals. My husband and I both got the fish and chips -- mine with onion rings and his with mac & cheese. Again, it's a neighborhood Friendly's. I genuinely don't know what some people are expecting. I also have to mention something we witnessed while we were there today. Another customer was completely out of his mind and was treating one of the employees absolutely disgustingly for seemingly no reason whatsoever. I was shocked by the entire interaction, but even more shocked by how well the Friendly's employee handled it. They remained calm and composed throughout the entire situation despite how disrespectfully they were being treated. It was honestly insane to sit there and witness and hear. Afterward, the employee even apologized to my family and me for having to witness the whole thing -- when THEY were the one who had just been treated horribly! That alone says a lot about the staff here. The restaurant itself has that old-fashioned, colorful diner-style Friendly's look. It was also very clean. Would I come back? Absolutely. For a quick, casual bite, I'd come back again. Next time I'd probably keep it simple with a grilled cheese and 100% get those fried pickles again because they were delicious AF!
