While working in Allentown, PA this week, I decided to check out this spot located just a few miles…read morefrom our hotel. I originally found it last year on TikTok and had been meaning to visit after hearing great things--and it definitely lived up to the hype. First off, the place is massive. It features an impressive number of TVs, plenty of bar seating, tables, booths, and even a spacious outdoor patio. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, making it an ideal spot to catch a game or grab dinner with friends. We visited on a Tuesday night, and even though it was fairly busy, we were seated within seconds. Our server came by almost immediately to take our drink order, and I wish I had caught her name--she was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the 1760 Rita frozen margarita along with a water, and for my meal, I went with the Fried Chicken Buffalo Wheat Wrap. I swapped out the blue cheese crumbles for cheddar and added a side of fries and a small cup of hot honey sauce. The wrap and sauce were fresh and absolutely delicious. The only downside was that the fries were slightly cold, which is the only reason for the 4-star rating. Other than that, everything--from the food to the service to the overall vibe--was excellent. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town for work to try more from the menu.

Yep, it's official: THIS. PLACE. ROCKS!!…read more Everything my coworkers & I ate here was amazing, from the pierogis to the home style chicken to carrot cake trifle...all of it was top notch!

I would go again and try something new on the menu.

I'm not sure how long they were waiting but after about 15 minutes they got their order. I stood there waiting for 30 minutes for a burger and fries. When I asked the woman if it always takes this long she said when it's busy it does but it was not busy. And I have had numerous friends who have had the same experience, even waiting for an hour when they had ordered ahead online. I don't know why it takes them so long but I won't be going back.

While working in Allentown, PA this week, a local coworker recommended this spot, and I'm so glad…read morewe checked it out. We visited on a Wednesday evening and were seated immediately, as there was only one other table occupied when we arrived. The restaurant offers plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. Since it was hot and raining, we chose to dine inside. The interior is beautifully designed with a cozy, authentic Italian feel that adds to the overall dining experience. Our server was friendly and welcoming, greeting us right at the door and returning quickly to take our drink orders. The menu is extensive--there are tons of options to choose from, which made it tough to decide. I ended up ordering the Spicy Fried Chicken Jalapeño Sandwich with a side of fries. I enjoy spicy food, and this sandwich absolutely delivered. The jalapeño sauce was rich, flavorful, and one of the best I've ever had. The bread tasted freshly baked--possibly even house-made--and really elevated the entire sandwich. The fries were standard, but they came out hot, crisp, and well-seasoned. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all on point. I'll definitely be saving this spot for future visits and look forward to exploring more items from their massive menu.

My husband and I decided to try this Italian restaurant on a Sunday before going to a show…read more The restaurant is nice and modern, walls covered with pictures of actors and/or stars. We were greeted right when we walked in. Our server was very nice and personable. If I had to rate on cleanliness and service, I would give them 4.5 stars. But the food was where they lost stars, due to the lack of quantity and quality of our main dishes. We had two waters to drink, shared appetizer of rice balls, (comes with 3), they give complimentary bread and an amazing dipping sauce ( which is a secret recipe, per our waitress). The bread and sauce was the best part of the meal. My husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo , ( look at the picture, hardly any fettuccine, but tons of sauce, looks more like soup) I ordered the chicken parm dinner. It came with one very small chicken cutlet. Both dishes came with a side salad. Our order came to $65 plus, which is not worth it for how much you receive in your main dish. And no drinks, just water. A little pricey for what we ordered to what we received.

The food at Smashburger is decent -- nothing extraordinary, but okay for a quick bite. However, I'm…read morereally disappointed by their payment policy, especially at the Allentown, PA location. I attempted to pay with a $50 bill for a total of just over $42, and they refused to accept cash. This isn't the first time this has happened here. Refusing legal tender is not only bad customer service -- it's also illegal in the state of Pennsylvania, which has a law requiring businesses to accept cash. This is not just inconvenient -- it's exclusionary. Not everyone uses cards or mobile payments, and U.S. currency is, by law, legal tender for all debts, public and private. I hope Smashburger corporate addresses this issue and brings this location into compliance. I encourage others who experience this to report it. I would've given it four stars, but a one star rating for not accepting legal tender

Took my German colleagues for some American steaks. Europeans always marvel the CP value (size and…read morequality) of American beef. It was a win and everyone had a great meal. We were 7 so I put our names in the waitlist (no reservation) and 5 of our party arrived early. Unfortunately they do not consider you until the whole party arrives. The 7th thought we would've seated without her so she didn't show up until half an hour later. Once we told the hostess our party was complete, we waited another ~15 to get a table. You can imagine those who arrived early are getting impatient. Good thing is that our server put everyone at ease and host-crisis averted! Almost everyone ordered steak and everyone was super happy with the quality of meat. Of course the Texas size overwhelmed us and seeing so much leftover was sad (all staying in hotels and no way to take doggie bags). One highlight of the meal of the cactus blossom- none of us have had it. It was fun.

Our server took forever to take our order. It took quite a while for our drinks to come and then finally the salads that we ordered. We waited over 30 minutes for us to arrive. In the meantime that everyone around us was cleaning up their station and see what happened Our waitress was too busy doing her side work to check back on us or see if we needed anything else. I had the ribeye steak and it was cold when it came to us. The potato was old like it had been sitting there all night. My sister got the sirloin and shrimp. Her food was also cold. She ended up taking it home with her. You usually know what you're getting when you come to one of these establishments, and you are good with that. Wanted a steak. This experience was very disappointing. I don't live near here so I won't be returning to this location. I've been to other ones that are better. Judge for yourself.

When I picked up my order they didn't say anything but I always check quantity and was missing the chicken parmigiana and a kids side. After going back and asking about it they said they ran out of the chicken parmigiana, but again it's only if you noticed it on your own. They never told anyone else including another order at the same time. I then asked to cancel the entire order and was told that it was not allowed to be cancelled. They then said that I could substitute something else no charge, but with it being a pick-up order I wanted to see what the person wanted who was not with me. They said they would take my number and I could call back. When I called back and asked for spaghetti and meatballs they said that they refunded the portion of my meal of the chicken parmigiana and I would be charged full price for whatever I decided to order. So no compensation at all for the inconvenience of the hassle of not having something I ordered. This is not good management or service and again missing items has happened on several pick-up orders but thought it was still worth it. For this last time, it's definitely not worth it.

Their wings are very good. I love their suicidal wing sauce going in; mot so much going out. It has so much flavor without being too hot. Their pizza prices are a little high, IMO. But, they do have decent beer prices. ~$8 for a half (small) pitcher; more than enough for one person. Their Meatball sub is also very good.
