    Back of restaurant

    7 of us went to commemorate my mother's 95th birthday (her name is Willie Mae) Great service and ambiance. Menu is extensive and covers all bases. The men had the Ribs;Women the fish and all were pleased and surprised at the portion size. The owner greets all guests. Such a beautiful,thoughtful touch. A 4 acre property with outdoor seating; donkeys for the kids;a stream and small waterfall. Highly Recommended!! We'll be back.

    Tonight I visited a southern comfort place with my daughter and we ordered the BBQ rib dinner. The ribs were good and tender, which was a highlight for us. However, the sides were a bit of a letdown. The mac & cheese was just okay, and we didn't really enjoy the collard greens or sweet potato puree. Overall, it wasn't the best meal we've had, but it wasn't the worst either. I would say to give them a chance, everyone's taste is different.

    Food tastes like it's right out of your southern grandma's kitchen. I had the rib dish, and my husband had the fried chicken. We also got a side of fries and cornbread. The ribs were so good, not completely smothered in BBQ sauce, just the right amount! I'm not always a fan of homemade Mac n cheese, but this was amazing! Hubby spent many years living in the south, and he was not disappointed by anything on the table! The cornbread made my night! The staff is also the sweetest, nicest people you could meet! We were checked on, and everyone was so friendly. The place is also super clean. We will definitely be going back! I can't wait to try the gumbo and hubby can't wait to try the grits.

    See all

    The main courses are good. Side dishes that accompany the meal need some help. I really want to like this place, but sides are bland.

    Is there a bar area to sit at for a drink before dinner? And what types of drinks are available- beer, cocktails, and wine?

    No. Very small hopefully they got better from our last visit. It wasn't the best service and the food wasn't anything special

    The treatment my husband and I received at this Flaming Crab location on February 13, 2026 is…read moreirreparable We are not occasional guests. We are loyal patrons who have frequented this establishment for years and even chose this location to host our rehearsal dinner. Because of that history, what occurred during our recent visit was not only disappointing -- it was unacceptable. We visited to celebrate Valentine's Day. After being seated, I ordered a passion fruit mojito, a drink I have previously enjoyed at your restaurant. When it arrived, it was immediately clear that it had not been prepared properly. There was no muddled mint, virtually no mint flavor, minimal passion fruit taste, and an overwhelmingly sour profile dominated by lemon and lime. A single mint leaf floating against the glass does not constitute a properly prepared mojito. I informed our server that I did not like the drink and requested a different cocktail. I did not ask for a refund. I simply asked for a replacement. The manager approached our table and stated that refunds on drinks are not given. Again, I clarified that I was not seeking a refund -- only a different drink. What followed was a prolonged and unnecessary debate. The manager questioned whether anything was actually wrong with the drink, pointed to its color as proof that passion fruit was present, and suggested that if I did not like it, I could have a beer or soda instead. When I requested a margarita instead, I was told it would "taste the same," despite the clear and obvious difference between a rum-based cocktail and a tequila-based cocktail. The conversation became argumentative over a $10 drink -- something that should have been resolved in moments with a simple replacement. My husband, who owns a restaurant himself, attempted to explain that we had recently visited and I had received an excellent mojito made by a male bartender. The manager responded dismissively that there was no male bartender on staff. That was beside the point. The point was that the drink had previously been made correctly and this one was not. By the time the manager agreed to have another cocktail prepared, the experience had already been soured. We chose to leave rather than continue what should never have become a confrontation. In doing so, the restaurant lost the revenue from two full meals -- all over an issue that could have been resolved in seconds. When my husband, who owns a restaurant himself, explained that disputing a minor matter was costing the business far more than the drink itself, the manager stated he was "just doing what the owner told him to do." If this reflects ownership policy, it is a policy that prioritizes rigidity over hospitality and ultimately harms the business. A rigid, defensive approach over minor issues does not protect revenue -- it drives loyal customers away. Additionally, the tone and resistance we encountered left us uncomfortable and questioning whether assumptions were being made about us as customers. Whether intentional or not, I would also be remiss if I did not address how the interaction felt. The tone and resistance we encountered left us uncomfortable and questioning whether assumptions were being made about us as customers. Whether intentional or not, that perception alone is troubling and warrants serious reflection. We did not expect special treatment. We expected reasonable customer service. Instead, we were met with defensiveness, inflexibility, and dismissiveness. We have supported Flaming Crab for years. After this experience, we are reconsidering whether we will return. I trust this matter will be reviewed thoughtfully and that corrective steps will be taken to ensure future guests are treated with professionalism and respect. Patricia W

Super nice folks that greet and take care of you. Lots of really comfy booths. I wanted to try the molcajetes with the shrimp, chicken, and steak. It's big enough to share! That thing comes out steaming and gorgeous. Honestly, I loved the sauce and queso best. The chorizo is nice. Of the others, I think I liked the shrimp best, though the chicken had great flavor. Nice fresh smaller tortillas are the real deal, too. We had the side of guacamole. Very nice. I want more next time. We ordered the rice a beans side. So good, I think we'll get two orders next time. We added the carne asada to the nachos. That green sauce on the side is great! I prefer the carne in thin slices. Yea, we still had leftovers! Nice brews on tap.

Obviously, we chose Diego and it was the right choice!! A mid-afternoon Sunday in May is not a busy time for Poconos restaurants so the parking lot was empty but we were greeted with warmth and smiles as the rain water dripped from our clothes and hair (Thank goodness for their cloth napkins!). Since tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo and there are plans for feasting on the holiday the choice for this rainy day was Diego's "Goat Burger." It was an AWESOME and flavorful burger the goat cheese melted throughout the huge burger patty only enhanced each bite. It's the best burger I have had in some time covered with a really great sesame seed bun (Looking out through the window as the rain poured down I could see that familar yellow arch thinking what a fantastic relaxing experience this was compared to burgers in a bag ). Service was great throughout... our waiter did his best to add dessert to the order but the road called however I cross this intersection periodically and next time ole... I will try one of their Mexican options.

We were early for our reservation, so the hostess suggested we go to the bar for a drink which was part of our plan. Again, it was evident that they were busy, but no one even looked at us, or made eye contact to even suggest that the intent was to attend to us as soon as they finished their current tasks. As we stood there for a solid 15 minutes, they attended to their regulars and the service bar, but did not acknowledge us. Once our turn finally transpired, we got our drinks, and moments after, we were headed to our table. Our waitress was great which offset the unappealing bar experience. We started with the seafood bisque, muscles, crab parm oyster special, and raw oysters which were great! For my meal, I got the baked crab dish which did have nice pieces of crab meat, but it was bland, and my husband got the steak which was pretty good. We ended with one of their dessert cocktails; we were too full, but they did have a nice dessert selection...... If it wasn't for feeling so awkward while standing on the outskirts of the people seated at the bar and not being acknowledged for quite a while, I may have given one more star. The place is worth a shot though!
