I don't recommend this restaurant for food. Maybe for drinks. They have no beer on tap. The chicken on the nachos is grey and covered in BBQ sauce. We weren't expected bbq sauce on the nachos. They have a kids menu and crayons and it is convenient located in the basement near the ping pong. read more

Wife and I visited The Taproom and it did not disappoint. We had wings for appetizer and they were delicious. I got chicken sandwich, I think it was called chicken truffalo or buffalo truffalo. I will order this 1000 times again. It was huge and cooked perfectly, with slaw, pickles and plenty of buffalo sauce. Highly recommend The Taproom. read more

The Taproom - Buffalo chicken sandwich. Amazing. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Skytop, Pennsylvania

Nice casual tavern-like feeling. Comfortable seating and good food. Just about anything you would want. Staff very friendly and attentive.

If you're looking for decent food and egregiously slow service, you should dine here. It's one of a few dining options offered at the beautiful Skytop Lodge. It's located downstairs, and is the casual alternative to the Windsor in the Lodge. The food at the Windsor was excellent, and that would be our first choice, though the Taproom is a better venue for children. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive, it's just that the first time we dined here they had difficulty getting our food to the table. It took almost 50 minutes for the entrees to arrive. The Delmonico Steaks were pretty good, but the broccoli was very overcooked and cool, and the Short Rib Stew was thin and soupy. The cost for four adults and two very young children was almost $300 with tip, so we thought the dinner was on the pricey side considering the quality of the entrees and the elongated wait time to finally dine. The second time we dined here, it was incrementally better, as the dining room was quiet. The food arrived faster, the wings were tasty, but the other meals received luke warm reviews read more

Taproom is reason enough to return back to Skytop! We were on site for a weekend getaway and decided to aim for this rather than the fancier spots on site. We went around prime time dinner and it wasn't terribly crowded but could tell it was filling up when we left. The next day was more middle of the day and fairly quiet which was delightful. The host could use some coaching in approachability and voice focus, they seemed incredibly shy and withdrawn for someone who is supposed to be the directional face of the restaurant. But I'm sure it's just a matter of practice and we got to our tables fine. The menu is the same as what's currently on the website- a nice pub mix of salads, sandwiches, burgers, special entrees, and a few unique bites. Prices I found were reasonable for the location. But what really knocked this out was the flavor. Let me say I try to bring a spice with me because Poconos has sadly disappointed on flavor many times before. I ordered the cajun burger with sweet potato fries and was in juicy sweet savory HEAVEN- the pickles were thick cut, the remoulade was coated but not sloppy, the chicken was absolutely fresh cooked and not overly crispy. The brioche bun did a valiant job of holding up but it did surrender at the end so I finished with knife and fork. My partner had the impossible bacon burger and it was ALSO amazingly juicy and flavorful. Bacon was cooked fresh and perfect. Needless to say, we had to come back for my partner to get the cajun burger for themselves. We also tried the PA appetizer plate which amusingly is served on a PA shaped cutting board (sauces were contained in cups and side plates were given!) but I must caution it is a LOT of heavy delicious food so please prepare to share amongst four or take half home for later! I also tried the beef stew and it was served in a cute cauldron and was deliciously hearty and big portioned. My small quibbles are service is slow...but it's a resort so the atmosphere is what it is, and that the fries had no salt and really needed it. Seriously, this place is a great experience! read more

On our recent trip to the mountains and SkyTop Resort, we had a late lunch at the Taproom and had a decent meal. Service was a bit slow to get seated and even slower to be given menus and our order taken. Out of all of the facilities at the resort this was probably the least enjoyable but not bad. The staff when we finally did get served was friendly and apologetic for the wait. Food was good but neither tasteless nor note-worthy. Prices were as you would expect at a resort and not too shocking. With other options available at the resort, you would do better for anything else unless you're craving burgers, wings and standard bar food. read more

Love it! Friendly staff, great wings, great burgers Very busy this time of year (week between Christmas and New Years) read more

Food is so so bad. We got a platter called, "Taste of PA," with things on it such as perogies and soft pretzels. Everything tasted like it was frozen food quality which it probably was. Also got a cheeseburger that was just kind of gross. Super greasy. Fair to say I won't come back. read more

We're local and have been coming to Skytop and The Taproom for eight years. Love Skytop overall btw, so don't let this dissuade you from visiting or staying there, as there are several other food options, including one very nice NYC-standards restaurant just down the hill in Canadensis. For the past 8 years, The Taproom would never win any culinary awards, but it was OK for pub food. No longer! :-( Last night we ordered: - Fried Calamari - Roasted Brussels sprouts - Tofu stir fry - Smokehouse burger - Chicken fingers and fries for the kid All practically inedible. The fried calamari was so salty, it's like the salt shaker lid came off in the kitchen and encased the squid like a salt mine. The brussels sprouts were like they had been sitting around for days and nuked in the microwave. The chicken fingers, which are on the kids menu, were spicy. For kids! The tofu stir fry may be been stirred, but the tofu bore no resemblance to being fried. Limp cold cubes of tofu. Served on cold rice. Really awful. The fries on the side of the smokehouse burger are some of the worst I've every had. Tasteless. The burger itself, ordered medium rare, was served rare, and had a small dollop of BBQ sauce hiding somewhere in the bun. Why didn't we send it all back? We should have, but we had a time constraint. All this plus tip was $100 for such disappointment. Advice to Skytop management: figure out why The Taproom food has declined so precipitously and do something about it. Stat. read more

Nice atmosphere. Good Food. The service was pleasant and helpful. Noise level was good.

The restaurant itself is cute, but the food was just ok. The server was very nice but we had to wait almost 20 minutes for our drinks. When we walked in we were one of two tables, and there were maybe 4 people at the bar. Several servers and staff were there. They kind of just dropped the food and disappeared until it was time to pay. Can't say I recommend... read more

Great meals done perfectly. We ordered the Cobb Salad as a quick lunch and turned out we were in for the best salad we ever had. Freshest ingredients and combinations I have ever had in a salad, I didn't want it to end! The lemon Italian herb dressing was absolutely delightful. The fresh avocado, tomato mixture and blue cheese was complimenting the most succulent chicken breast. What a salad!!!! Hi read more

We ordered takeout and didn't get the salad included that we paid for. We got home and called them repeatedly and they hung up on us over and over. Tom really didn't want to deal with us apparentl! read more

Burgers were delicious but $50 for two burgers with limp fries was a bit pricey for us. Beautiful place though.

Always enjoy the burgers in the Tap Room! The service has always been excellent too and the historic setting adds to the ambiance. We enjoyed strolling through the Lodge after our dinner. read more
