We were driving from NC to Syracuse and stopped in this fun town. There's a lot of great history and murals as well as a gorgeous church. We ate at the tomato bar and got great food that was reasonably priced. Great vegetarian options as well.

Ordered the burger... bun was soggy, lettuce was wilted and hot, cheese was extremely salty it ruined the whole flavor of the burger itself. I couldn't even take 3 bites, do not recommend

Strawberry Mojito.

We picked a wonderful day to sit outside on the patio. NOT. It started to drizzle as we ordered drinks, so we were forced to move inside. There were several items on the menu that caught my eye. I can't eat an entire cow (even though I was VERY hungry), so I narrowed it down to two cows and told the waiter to pick one. The Sonoma Burger or Inferno Burger. Which did I get? ...Sonoma Burger. Boy was I impressed. This burger came with roasted tomato, avocado, brie, pickled onion, and lettuce. The meat was very juicy. You could tell it wasn't frozen meat. The pickled onions really made this burger. Highly impressed. I also had a trio of fries on the side, which consisted of three different types. Never saw this anywhere. Great idea. If you wanna know what kinds of fries, guess you'll have to go and find out for yourself! For dessert, we tried the Chocolate Bombe, which is chocolate genoise, white and dark chocolate mousse, and a chocolate ganache coating AND the Bread Pudding, which comes with fresh and whipped cream on the side. Both very good. Overall experience. Great service, food, and company. Btw, try the Strawberry Mojito.

Awesome addition to downtown Pittston. Very different from any other restaurant in the area. The menu is unique and the food does not disappoint. Pair the amazing food with a great beer selection and you've got a winning combination. The grilled cheese is a must try. Nice crunchy bread with a blend of cheeses and tomato. The zesty crab mac and cheese was also good and worth trying, but the crab got lost in the dish. Burgers have a great flavor and the blend of meat in the patty really makes it shine. Fries are awesome and be sure to ask for a side of the spicy ketchup which comes with the fry platter but not the dishes. Not sure why they don't automatically include it with each dish instead opting to up charge the customer for it. Still totally worth it. Hopefully more restaurants like this will start popping up with the revitalization efforts in downtown Pittston. Would love to see the city become a hot spot for dining.

This place is been in Pittston for quite some time and I've never been able to stop in for lunch or dinner. Recently I went here with some coworkers. What a great hidden gem in Pittston. First I have to say every time I've tried to come here it's always closed the tomato bar and Grill has very weird hours. This had me a little nervous because I thought the food might not be as good because they're not open all day but Man was I wrong. There are three seed options at the tomato bar and Grill The first option is you can sit inside you can also sit outside and you can sit upstairs and look out over the town The ambience inside is very nice they have a full bar. I noticed everybody from people just getting off work eating two people on dates. What I like about this place is that they do everything fresh and as homemade as possible. I ended up getting a crispy chicken sandwich which you could tell was hand breaded and it was very good. After asking the waitress what she recommended she told me that the mac & cheese is a must. I got the side of the macaroni and cheese and I was very impressed it was good and I could taste the different layers of cheese in every bite. That little bit of macaroni and cheese in the picture is enough for an entire meal. For dessert I have the double chocolate mousse. It was very good and I could tell that it was hand carved. I ended up running into somebody that I knew that was eating at the tomato bar and Grill and they told me that the menu changes quite frequently here. Overall the tomato bar and Grill is a great place to go I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back here when they are open. PROS: - great food Great atmosphere

Best burger!

Mutant Brewing - Detroit style pepperoni pizza

Mutant brewery is a local casual pubesque bar in the heart of downtown. I've been here pretty often…read morew friends. Tons of events and trivia in their schedule for folks looking for a night out on weekdays or weekends. The interior is mildly psychedelic with music. The food was fine. We got the burger and nachos. I was between giving 3 and 4 stars. Service was slow but the venue was busy, there was an event, and the night crew was picking up when we were there. The buffalo chicken nachos were fine. We appreciated the crispiness of the tortilla chips and the excellent cheese sauce that was well-distributed on the chips. There was tomato among other veggies that I do not remember. The chicken was fine for me on a cut. However, it had the texture of boiled chicken which I wasn't a huge fan of. Still had to get my protein in. I really enjoyed the burger. The bun was a soft potato roll. The patty was a little cooler. Between a cold burger and soggy nachos I certainly would choose the cool burger. This was made up for with the large volume of burger that was deliciously crispy. The pickles accompanied the burger with a secret mayo-based burger sauce. If warm, it could be a 5/5 burger. Overall, the experience was fine. I would go here on a week day rather than 6 on Friday, though.

I didn't get anything to drink here, but I did get the deep dish pizza that was more of a Mexican…read morestyle. I would say that this is probably the best deep dish pizza that I've tried in a while and I used to live in the Midwest. The crust was super crunchy and very buttery, which is great. You could definitely taste a jar of the cheese on the side and the crispiness of the bottom of the crust not only that, but I felt like the toppings were just amount of flavor. There was onions on there. There was corn on there. It just felt very very hearty. it's definitely heavy dish but it hits a spot if you're looking for a deep dish pizza they did it very well. I would definitely come back for this steep dish pizza and honestly, I could only get through two slices on my own definitely enough for two people to eat comfortably and not that expensive too was 13 bucks

We got the Korean dumplings which were very good with Asian zing sauce on them. We also got their nachos which were soggy towards the bottom but had good flavor with bbq sauce and pulled pork. Now they don't offer pulled pork sandwiches but have pull pork on the nachos. My fish and chips were soooooo salty! The tartar sauce was good and French fries. The breading was also soggy but the fish was very tender and nice. The chicken cheesesteaks were good, filling and yummy. The Ale Burger is a double smash burger with good flavor, and a good meal. The Buffalo Mac and cheese was spicy but enjoyable. The service wasssss slow and not very attentive. The manager had to come over and ask if we needed anything bc our server seemed to disappear. I believe it's new owners which explains the menus cut in half, but I hope they get things together bc this spot is super cool. Speak easy, cool hangout spot.

Really enjoyed a lunch with my family at Ale Mary's after spending a few hours at Steamtown…read more I found parking right up front on the street (lucky, plus the meters were off for the weekend according to staff). The service was slow, but once we were greeted our drinks and food came out quickly. The inside is spacious, it's in an old building dating back to the mid to late 1800's. The high ceilings and metal work inside gives an old industrial feel. The menu had a lot of tasty choices and the beer menu was fantastic. The list of the handhelds/sandwiches is too long to list, but I could have ordered any of them. They have over 100 small and large craft/international beers in bottles or cans and around 20 taps. I had a couple cans of delicious Russian River/WeldWerks collab Convivial which is a hazy imperial IPA. My wife really enjoyed their Buffalo Chicken Flatbread 13.95 - popcorn chicken, house wing sauce, cooper cheese, blue cheese, scallions. It was more than a serving, sizable and fresh. The flavors were balanced and outstanding. I had the Bison Cheesesteak 16.95 - Chipotle bison, pepperjack, bacon chutney, mushrooms, chipotle aioli, toasted hoagie roll. The flavors were balanced, roll was fresh, the serving was large and it was pretty darn good. The meat had a hot dog/pork pate taste. My 5 year old son ordered grilled chicken street tacos 13.95 - Pico de gallo, jalapeno sour cream, queso. Choice of grilled chicken or beef. It came with three and he ate half. We all had a bite and agreed they were fresh, easy to handle and had a delicious mix of flavors, especially the chicken and cheese. My other son had the House Grilled Cheese 9.95 - Boursin, pepperjack, & cooper cheeses on grilled brioche. He enjoyed it, but said it was a little spicy. Although they lacked a "kids menu" my guys found something they enjoyed. The inside was family friendly and they were treated well by the staff. We thought Ale Mary's was a great gastropub and will absolutely repeat when we are back in Scranton. Thanks guys!

We found this place because I was looking for somewhere I could get a beer and walk out and around the town of Jim Thorpe (I believe they allow it here). But ended up staying for the vibes and plus we were super hungry. I wish I remembered our waitresses name but I believe she had pink in her hair. She allowed me and my girlfriend to sample some beers that she thought we would like because we were hesitant and what to order. We got the sangria sour beer and the white ale which were perfect for us. We also saw online that everyone loved the smash burger so we had to try it. We added truffle fries for 3 dollars which was so worth it. Some of the best fries we have ever had. Also I think we decided it was the best smash burger we have ever had. We both have never tried bacon jam and we were a bit hesitant about the pimento cheese as well. I think my favorite moment from this trip was sitting at the bar here and eating this meal. Plus the burger lived up to the hype. Thank you to the waitress we had you made our day!

The staff was very nice and seated us promptly, we were sat at a table that was booth on one side and chair on the other but it was an extra tall bar stool type table. Soon as I sat down the sun was right in my eyes. Yes only a small nuisance till the bar tender shut a blind (because the bar folks were effected) but there were so many empty table. Why sit us at this table ? There were plenty of other tables that would not have had this issue. Not sure why the hostess would not know not to use this table for this time of day. Other then that the place was very clean and a normal pub type atmosphere. Nothing super special though. We started off with an appetizer called the "Texas Twinkie" - okay. I read "twinkie" and think some form of cake/bread with a filling. What we got was more of an egg roll. The outside was either a wonton type wrap or a tortilla then filled with brisket, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeño, and BBQ sauce. This was very delicious but definitely misleading in the name and the menu didnt really describe the item, it only give the name and listed the ingredients. I bring this up because we also ordered the traditional pizza.... what we got was more of a flatbread and pretty bland as well. Super basic bread with a lack of flavor marinara sauce and cheese. Also the sauce to cheese ratio was sad. You can tell this because all the cheese on the slice would come right off with 1 bite. We would not order this again based on the price and what was served. I also had the French onion soup. This was pretty well done. Not to salty, no crazy cheeses added. It was well balanced and was worth getting. My partners entree was the barley creek whiskey BBQ sauce on chicken tenders. These were just ok. The sauce seemed more tomatoe based then normal for a BBQ sauce and again just wasn't what one would expect from the name whiskey Bbq sauce. I am sure people do like this place but it wasn't very impressive to us. 3 out 5 stars is a fair rating as service was good for the most part, the place was clean with a decent amount of menu options, but the execution of the food lacked and the menu names are definitely misleading for the items we had ordered.
