Living d block away I was her everyday growing up for a hoagie, penny candy, playing the juke box or playing the video games that once had a place here. A family owned place in its entire existence, the Base always made you feel like you were family as well. The food here is made today as it has been since I was a kid. No changes you ask? When you put out quality food for so many years why would you need to. The cold cut which is my go to tastes the same ever time you get one for as long as you can remember. Nothing fancy about it just quality meats on a great tasting roll. The inside hasn't changed much over the years and that is perfect. A lot of places remodel many times to keep up to current times but keeping that old school look makes Third Base exactly what locals know it to be or remember it as.

Three words: BAKED COLD CUT. Have you ever had one of these hoagies? Have you ever seen one of…read morethese hoagies elsewhere? Well I haven't. The third base cold cut is on a level all it's own. The lettuce is crisp, the tomatoes and flavorful (when all the fast food joints have mushy nothingness), the chopped up onions and peppers give some zing zing ziiiiiing baby!!, the roll is fresh and tasty with softness on the inside and a light crispness on the outside... let's get to the main event, the cold cuts are delicious and high quality. All the flavors come together and are amplified by toasting them in the oven for a bit. Amazing!! Do try it! And let me know what you think... it's been too long...

Ethan, Rufus, and I took a road trip north to the coal region today to visit Jimmy's Quick Lunch …read more My son and I barely fit at the table and had our legs tangled a few times, but what a great experience! They offer 3 types of Dietz & Watson hotdogs. 1/5 (5 to a pound jumbo franks -- spicy and jalapeño & cheese) and the traditional size. The fried onions I now know, I want on everything for my next visit! They were fried up by a magician, who got great Caramelization action where it counted! We both agreed the chili topping was aces . I'll be ordering the chili cheese fries with caramelized onions on my next visit. The sauerkraut was very good and generously topped the jumbo frank. We really enjoyed our lunch and all the hotdogs. I would prefer more color and cook on the actual frank. The place was packed for lunch and they staff was working their collective rear ends off, so that's a pass. When I ordered a plain dog to go for Rufus, the waitress gave me 3 "doggie dogs" no bun for him. What a sweet gesture for a pup from out of town! It was worth the hike up 309; spending the day with my son made it duly a wonderful day. Meanwhile, Rufus had a full day and is now in his burrito blanket snoring . #rushieeats #lvhdas

Well They surprised me with 6 of your chilli onion mustard dogs!They were so good. That was so nice of them. The wife's name is Gloria. Such great people. I called and said how good they were. They said when they come to the military commissary next month they will bring more. Great job! Delicious. Keep up the good work! Wish you were not so far. Then again I would be there every week. lol. Shelly from Tobyhanna PA

I am traveling for work and have eaten at Damon's twice…read more I ordered ribs, slaw, and fries the first time. For restaurant ribs, these were some of the best I have ever eaten. I have eaten pork ribs throughout the south (Alabama, Memphis, South Carolina) and these are by far my favorite. I didn't care for the soupy slaw nor the fries. My second meal consisted of the chicken quesadilla...I would rate it a 3.5 out of 5. It was edible and tasted okay...just nothing to write home about.

We started with a couple of appetizers, the house made potato chips and the Damon's sampler, which were both tasty. For dinner we ordered steak kabob and quesadilla. The food came out quickly, was hot and tasted good. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and server took good care of us throughout the meal. Overall, solid choice if you are looking for good food, a fun vibe and a place to catch a game. Must try wings with Damon's sauce.

Interesting place- loves the idea of eating in an old bank, and it is indeed an interesting setting. Menu had some interesting sandwiches, but at waitress recomendation, I went with the Swiss and mushrooms burger. Wife got the capriese with grilled chicken. Both were decent...wife would actually classify as "very good", but the burger was non-offfensive and average. Her chips were thick cut, fries were a little too greasy. Cost was $28 for both. Service was good, humorous, friendly. Lots of seating makes me wonder if it gets packed of is overly ambitious. I hope it gets packed, because the venue is interesting and deserves to get used. Hope the menu can back up the intrigue of the old bank!

It was a Sunday evening so we went in search of a place that had the NFL football games, beer and good food and we found it right here! Danielle was working behind the bar and you couldn't find a better bartender and great personality ... She turned an unexpected break down into a pleasant enjoyable evening. We started with their bruschetta which was a little different than the others we've had before in that it had black olives in it, but was very good. It was a large portion and came with plenty of toast points to enjoy it on. For dinner we split the fireside special which was a 6 ounce New York strip on Italian bread with fried onions & peppers. We opted for a mixture of hot and sweet peppers and oh my were the hot peppers HOT! But the sandwich was very good and all the ingredients were fresh. We met Ron, who I believe is the owner ... He was extremely nice about our predicament and even extended a recommendation on who to contact at the dealership that I believe helped us out the following day with our mechanical issue. It was definitely the service and friendliness of the staff at the bar that pushed this review up to a four star. The people of Hazelton are lucky to have such a nice establishment and great people in their area.
