Scenic Railroads
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, operated by the Reading & Northern Railroad, is a popular attraction in Jim Thorpe. The train departs from the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey station and offers various excursions, with daily sightseeing tours being the most popular. Passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Lehigh Gorge, dense forests, shimmering river, and dramatic cliffs as they travel through the Pocono Mountains.
First time on this train and I've got to tell you this was a great train ride! I rode in the standard car and it was really nice. They play old-time music, and the whole thing gave it a nostalgic feel. I would recommend this to anybody, family friends it doesn't matter. The children I saw absolutely loved it. They also have a town that has so many different little shops and antique shops to go to. Across the street from the train is a restaurant that is outside. All the seating is outside and it was great. I would recommend this to anyone!

I recently took the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train trip out of Jim Thorpe, PA, and it was such a pleasant experience! The ride takes you through some absolutely beautiful scenery along the Lehigh River and deep into the Pocono Mountains. The fall foliage made it even more breathtaking — it’s the perfect time of year to go if you love the colors of autumn. Get there early if you're visiting during peak season — the town and the train was crowded, especially on weekends in the fall. There is no booking in advance option in this period! The train itself has a charming, old-fashioned feel, with both open-air and enclosed cars. The ride lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, and it’s just the right length — long enough to enjoy but not so long that it drags. The narration over the speakers gave us a bit of history about the region and the old railroad line, which added a nice touch without being too intrusive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and boarding was smooth and well organized. Jim Thorpe itself is a lovely little town, so it’s worth making a day of it — grab lunch, walk around the shops, and then hop on the train. Overall, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a great, family-friendly experience that offers a peaceful way to enjoy some of Pennsylvania’s most scenic landscapes. Highly recommended!
Natalia M — Google review
Such a fun and memorable experience! The ride itself was beautiful — you can choose between open-air cars and enclosed cars with windows. The scenery through the gorge is stunning, especially in the fall. The car hosts were super friendly and pointed out interesting landmarks along the way so we could get great photos. My two toddlers loved it! We went on a Tuesday in late October and were able to buy tickets on-site. Arriving about 20 minutes before departure was plenty of time to get tickets, and board comfortably. Definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Jim Thorpe!
Bre A — Google review
This was so much fun! Informative, great scenery - and you can bring your dog on the train! Go early, especially during the height of Fall colors because there are loads and loads of people. We went early and walked around Jim Thorpe and enjoyed delicious coffee and donuts while waiting to purchase tickets for the train. (Read the website regarding ticket purchases.)
Karen Z — Google review
Scenic train ride offered for all 4 seasons including holiday themed rides - highly recommended! Definitely suggest arriving early as tickets for certain rides are first come first serve. I also recommend trying to sit on the right side of the train as the left side you'll mainly see the mountain side. Also dress for the weather because, at least on my visit, the train cars are not climate controlled.
Andre M — Google review
Visiting Jim Thorpe just before Halloween is such a lovely experience — the town decorations are adorable! I took the train ride, and I recommend sitting on the side facing the river, because if you sit on the other side, you’ll only see the rock wall. The only downside is that parking is really hard to find, and the parking fees are quite expensive. That’s why I give it 3 stars. Each shop has its own unique charm, and I recommend coming early in the morning so you’ll have enough time to explore them all.
What's U — Google review
Will definitely need to go early. Parking lot fills up very quickly and u can text the number above the paying machine to use your card. Its $8 until next morning lol. The ride was pretty good and rhe staff was great. Alot of vendors set up when you get off, we went straight to the pastry.
Sorangie S — Google review
Very nice train ride. It goes one way, then you flip the back of your seat to sit the opposite direction and it goes back to the train station. It was beautiful to see the different leaves of the fall colors. It was pretty cold in late October, so take a coat and hat! We enjoyed the scenic train ride for sure. The Poconos and river were beautiful.

Historic Sites
The Asa Packer Mansion Museum is a grand Italianate mansion located in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Built in 1861, this historic landmark offers tours of its original Victorian decor and architecture. The mansion was once the home of Asa Packer, a prominent figure who founded Lehigh University and was a railroad magnate and philanthropist. With its central cupola and red-ribbed tin roof, the mansion spans three stories with eighteen rooms across approximately eleven thousand square feet.
Absolutely gorgeous mansion! The house is so pretty to just walk around and take in, I highly recommend booking a tour of the inside of the house to see how much ornate design and details it has! So much beauty and history.
Mackenzie W — Google review
I cant even begin to tell you how happy my husband and I were that we decided to do this tour. Leah, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and you could honestly tell how much she enjoyed the history of the mansion and the stories. Great job Leah, thank you for being so interesting and invested! This is a must see while visiting Jim Thorpe! Everything inside was fabulous and I would go through this tour again just to take another look! 😀
Angela G — Google review
Museum tour is filled with interesting facts about Asa and the Packer family. You can not tour the home alone. Tour is owned and run by the town of Jim Thorpe. Fascinating to see tech advances from the 1800s. The full mansion is not available to be toured.

We didn’t go inside, but the exterior of the mansion is impressive and beautifully maintained. It’s worth a quick stop to admire the architecture and take some photos while walking around downtown Jim Thorpe.

What a great time! This was such a worthwhile trip. Make sure you get Eric as a tour guide. I even had a question about a statue outside of the premise. They called me back and though they didn't have an answer they will call me back as soon as they get an answer.
Daniel C — Google review
The Queen of all historic homes!! The Asa Packer mansion is so beautiful- a definite must see if you love elegant craftsmanship and architecture. I drove 5 hours round trip in one day to tour the home and it was worth every minute! The only downfall in my opinion, is no photos are allowed inside. You have to see it to believe it.
C G — Google review
What a cool house with wonderful history. We enjoyed our visit to this spectacular mansion so much because of Erik,our amazing tour guide. He knows every nook and cranny of this mansion along with all its historical facts. He's loves this place and it shows through his detailed tour. He really made our visit and tour special. It's so refreshing to see someone enjoy what the do for a living. Go visit the Asa Packer house and ask for Erik, you won't regret it.
Shari F — Google review
Built in 1861, this Victorian Italianate architecture-style home was constructed over a span of two years at a total cost of $14,000 dollars. The Asa Packer Mansion listed as a National Historic Landmark was the home of philanthropist, railroad magnate, and founder of Lehigh University, Asa Packer, from Oct. 16, 1861, to Oct. 29, 1912. Located in Jim Thorpe, this building is recognized by a red-ribbed tin roof and a central cupola proudly atop Packer Hill with the commanding stunning views of the surrounding Pocono Mountains, where my partner, his aunt and I came for a tour today. Tickets were easily available and reasonably priced for the 1pm tour, which covered the entirety of the first and second floors. Our tour guide was a young lady (she mentioned she is a senior in high school) who obviously loves her job and is personally interested in the history of the mansion and family. From the furniture, woodwork, and stained glass to the artwork, she spoke about the history or significance. The mansion is not a restoration where pictures and video are prohibited inside. An amazing walk back in time, for which we can recommend this place.

The Old Jail Museum, also known as the Carbon County Jail, is a historic 2-story jailhouse in Jim Thorpe that dates back to 1871. It was operational until 1995 and is famous for being the site where several members of the Molly Maguires were hanged. The building's imposing stone structure stands on the main street and offers visitors a glimpse into the town's intriguing past.
I was honestly surprised by how impactful this experience was — I went in expecting something pretty average, but it turned out to be fascinating. The tour begins with a video that has you wondering where it’s going, but by the end, everything ties together beautifully. The guide did an excellent job telling the story, keeping us engaged, and giving us plenty of time to take it all in. The museum itself is rich with history, and the story behind the jail and its past inmates is genuinely intriguing. It’s well worth the price, and a really unique experience if you’re in the area. My only serious complaint is about the parking situation. There’s a sign that says parking is only for vehicles with handicap plates or placards — which I have — but the lot was full, and only one car actually displayed proper credentials. When I brought it up with the man working the gift shop, he gave me attitude and said, “some people don’t choose to listen.” No effort was made to help or address the situation, and it felt dismissive — especially toward actual disabled visitors. It was disappointing to see such a historic site show so little concern for accessibility. Aside from that issue, the tour itself was excellent. Great storytelling, immersive setting, and definitely something memorable. I just hope they improve the parking enforcement in the future.

The Old Jail Museum is a fun and interesting stop with a lot of rich history to explore. The museum is smaller than I expected, but still packed with fascinating stories and artifacts. The employees are super friendly and make the visit even better. The only downside is parking—there’s a tiny lot that fits maybe 7 cars, so plan ahead. Overall, I highly recommend visiting if you’re in Jim Thorpe!

If you're interested in history, and the paranormal, this is certainly a spot to visit. I enjoyed the tour they offered and even had a, thankfully friendly, visit from one of the spirits that inhabit the place. Getting to finally see the hand print on the wall was really amazing. They have Cell #17 closed, but you are still able to look into the cell and see the hand print on the wall, but you are not allowed to photograph it. I do recommend booking a spot for the tour before you go though, as the tours do tend to fill up quickly. I was actually booked for the second tour of the day, but I got there early enough I was able to join the first. Guides were very nice and I enjoyed the tour.

Great tour, we had a young man who did a great job on the entire tour. He has been there his whole life so he was very informative! We were in the last tour so he gave us extra time to explore, ask questions and he was great with the seniors.

A 19th century fortress built by Carbon County, PA in 1871. Housed a contingent of Molly Maguire's, Irish immigrant coal miners persecuted by those owning the mines and railroads (often the same) on fake charges after they struck for better working conditions. 10 were hung, at least 6 in the jail. Cell 17 has "the handprint". Just before being hung, one defendant put his grimy hand on the wall and said it would always be there to show his innocence. Scientists have examined it, it has been painted over, whitewashed over, scrubbed but always reappears. One person I was with said she felt sorrow and heard talking. Guides said folk have reported paranormal activity after hours.

Very cool experience. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit. Learned a lot! Highly recommend Cost: economical! ... only $12 per person Begins with an short informational video Tour: our guide was very informative and gave plenty of time for pictures and observation while in the dungeon and in the cell block Plenty of opportunity to learn about the Molly Maguires, local history, and jail life.

Park
Hiking area
Nestled west of downtown Jim Thorpe, Mauch Chunk Lake Park is a charming destination offering a variety of seasonal activities. The park features a stunning lake with a popular beach for summer swimming and eight different types of fish for year-round fishing. Visitors can explore several miles of hiking and biking trails, including the Switchback Railroad Trail. It's also an ideal spot for family camping, with clean facilities and engaging activities like hayrides.
This was a lovely campground that is more primitive than most. We enjoyed the natural surroundings and the beautiful crystal clean lake. There are opportunities for biking, hiking, fishing, swimming ,and many types of boating. The campground in the area is absolutely beautiful and close to all the wonderful activities going on in Jim thorpe. We also loved having our campground visitors. A couple of mallard ducks who were not shy at all and very sweet. We enjoyed our stay very much. If there was anything negative to say it would only be the difficulty of getting through the campground loops due to all the One Way roads and no road that goes completely around. But that didn't bother us and actually it seemed to reduce traffic which was nice. The campground staff were very knowledgeable and well-staffed and so helpful. It reminded us of the old days when you wanted to check into a campground. They even let us drive around and pick out what site we wanted. It is rare that campgrounds allow you to do that these days. We will definitely be visiting again!

The Mauch Chunk Lake a reservoir in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania created by damming the White Bear Creek designed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in early 1972. Constructed as a 50 foot (15 m) high earthen dam 1,710 feet (520 m) long and holds a 320 acres (130 ha) reservoir. It was officially opened in the summer of 1974, at a cost of $3 million dollars, which would be $18 million in today's money. It was commissioners Agnes T. McCartney and Rep. Daniel Flood who oversaw the venture. The lake is part of Mauch Chunk Lake Park. Mauch Chunk Lake is a fisherman's paradise ! Nice picnic facilities and also a beautiful Lake. The bathrooms are clean also.

Mauch Chunk Lake Park is such a beautiful and well-maintained spot! The beach area is clean, with toilets, showers, and even coast guards on duty, which makes it perfect for a relaxed day by the water. We visited during golden hour, and the fall colors looked absolutely stunning in the warm light — such a peaceful and scenic experience. There are many picnic areas, and you can even rent a kayak here to explore the lake. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!

Mauch Chunk Lake Park in Jim Thorpe is such a peaceful and beautiful spot to spend the day, especially in the fall. The park’s scenery is absolutely stunning when the foliage starts changing — there are bursts of orange, red, and yellow all around the lake, making it perfect for walks, photos, or just sitting by the water and taking it all in. The trails are well-marked and not too tough, so it’s great for both casual hikers and families. There’s plenty of space near the lake to relax or picnic, and you can even rent kayaks or bring your own if the weather’s nice. The place feels quiet and natural, not overcrowded like some parks can get. The air gets that crisp autumn feel, and the reflections of the colorful trees on the lake are just beautiful. Whether you go for the hiking, the picnic spots, or just to see the fall colors, this park never disappoints — it’s one of those hidden gems in Pennsylvania worth coming back to every year.

A Perfect Spot for Outdoor Activities and RelaxationMauch Chunk Lake in Jim Thorpe, PA, is a hidden gem that offers something for everyone. Whether you're into boating, fishing, or swimming, this place has it all. Only electric boats are allowed, making it an ideal stop for kayaking and paddleboarding. It's especially peaceful during weekdays when it's less crowded. You can bring your own kayak or paddleboard, or rent one at Launch A for a fee. Just make sure your boat is registered! The lake offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, and it's a perfect spot for capturing stunning sunset photos from the water. They have a designated swimming area, which requires a small fee to enter, but Launch A and Launch B entries are free. The area is also dog-friendly, with plenty of nice trails for walking or hiking. The Switchback Hiking Trail is my personal favorite—it's easy and offers great views.For those who prefer to stay on land, there are also options for camping and picnicking for a fee, as well as benches where you can sit back and enjoy the serene views. Mauch Chunk Lake is a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful place to relax and immerse yourself in nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors!

The Mauch Chunk Opera House, located in the heart of Jim Thorpe, is a historic Victorian opera house that has been a beacon of culture for over 140 years. Originally built in 1881, it has undergone various transformations and now serves as a premier destination for live music and performances. With impeccable acoustics and an intimate setting, this elegant venue offers seating as well as a large dance area.
One of my favorite places to go and visit. Go at least once a month to see a band. Highly recommend becoming a member. You get cash back off the tickets you buy. I use it to buy myself a nice drink at the bar. The shirts at the merchandise tablet are excellent quality and staff are all extremely friendly. Love it. It's definitely a fun night.

Historic theater with friendly staff. We came in here and paid $5 each for viewing the theater from lower and upper levels and looking through the museum room. The history was interesting and the theater itself was well-maintained given the age of the original structure. The use of bathrooms was also a nice plus given the business of the town during fall foliage. I am hopeful to be back to experience the Transiberian Orchestra cover band at Christmas time.

But I was also very impressed by the friendliness and kindness of the volunteers at the Opera House who made me feel welcome... The Mauch Chunk Opera House is a beautiful place...

We saw one of the largest paintings in the world, a part of which was made in this Mauch Chunk Museum! It was the highlight of our entire visit to Jim Thorpe in September. The exhibition even became an immersive planetarium experience with stars and fireflies. Wonderful artist! The museum artifacts and guides were great too. Saw a Scholastic published book called "Ibi's Fireflies" there and ordered it on amazon. What a beautiful story! We'll be back.

A truly enjoyable way to learn the history of the town Mauch Chunk/ Jim Thorpe. The kind older gentleman who was running the museum was funny, insightful and engaging. Since it was a slow day he gave us a bit more in-depth explanations of the history of coal, the flood, and the origins of the name change. There's a lot more, but it's best to see in person. All the items were lovingly displayed and easy to see. The place radiated a feeling of genuine enjoyment for the subject matter. It was very pleasant to watch someone so knowledgeable about a subject explain so many topics. We even took some pictures to ghost hunt, but no luck. If you are looking for a great place to learn about the Town of Jim Thorpe, this is the place to go!

The museum hosts lots of historic materials about the town, good for museum lovers and history fans. We arrived only half an hour before the closure, so got 25% off on ticket. The museum is run by a couple and the explanations by the lady owner were great. The coal story is definitely a must-hear one, I myself actually saw this type of coal while hiking near Jim Thorpe. Come to discover this hidden gem in the busy Jim Thorpe town. Tour highly recommended, as the materials were not very self-explanatory, you will get to learn a lot more out by talking to the staffs there. Remember to check out why it is called "America's little Switzerland"

In Jim Thorpe’s heart, where the hills still hum, Molly Maguire’s calls, and I gladly cum. Barrel tots crisp like a miner’s dream, Hot ham sandwich, savory steam. The Guinness poured fine (though the glass was wrong), Still tasted like Ireland in a Pennsylvania song. The folks were kind, the laughter loud, Good spirits dancing through the crowd. A sign said ninety minutes max; odd rule, But time slips fast when the vibe’s this cool. Five out of five, no ifs or maybes, For comfort food and friendly babies. Raise your glass, don’t wait too long, At Molly Maguire’s, you can’t go wrong.

I had the fish and chips, my wife had the roast beef sandwich. They both were delicious and my fish and chips was one of the best I’ve had. We have a British style Pub that I say has the best Fish and Chips, but Molly Maguire’s is a very, very close second. I highly recommend this dish. Roast beef sandwich had a very delicious horseradish sauce. We were on the deck and was quite surprised how quiet it was.

Great place! Seats outside were nice with the dog. They gave her a fresh bowl of water. We ordered a few things and everything was delicious! The cheese pierogies, wild, mushroom ravioli, turkey and mashed potatoes, a burger for the dog, and couple drinks. Customer service was excellent!

My husband & I enjoy having lunch here whenever we are in Jim Thorpe. Drinks are great, food is good, & we love sitting on the deck. Service was great as well. Only complaint is that I feel as though they do not offer enough food options. But overall great place!

Food was amazing!!! It was like having a home cooked meal. My husband had the shepherds pie, and I had the open faced turkey. The shepherds pie was delicious and flavorful. The turkey was fantastic and not dry (like I’ve had from other places) with yummy gravy and mashed potatoes. First time here and will definitely come back next time we’re in the area! Dominic was our server, and he was awesome!

Broadway Grille + Underground is a distinctive establishment situated at 24 Broadway in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. It operates as a bar, eatery, night club, and restaurant all rolled into one. While reservations are accepted for all meals except Friday and Saturday lunch and dinner due to high demand, the place offers a diverse menu featuring delectable options like ribs, pulled pork, grilled shrimp, sausage with an array of sauces and two sides.
We chose Broadway Grille because you could make a reservation. Turned out to be a great choice. Food was delicious (The Caesar salad and Brie Dip were my favorite), drinks tasty, service friendly and attentive. This restaurant is located just a couple blocks from the train station and is part of the Inn at Jim Thorpe which is a very lovely place as well.

This is our first time walking the strip of Jim Thorpe shopping on Broadway. We were visiting in the area and wanted some simple lunch after the Lehigh Gorge Scenic railway ride. We came across this restaurant/bar and the beautiful building design and menu available outside caught our attention. Service was quick and we were seated immediately. Our waitress was super nice and didn’t rush us. My wife order double crab cake and it was authentic and delicious. My kids got chicken pot pie. It was so good and fresh like homemade. The wings were lightly battered and cook to perfection. The spicy honey flavor added that adventurous taste. My wife also enjoyed her lavender martini. That was something different. Kids top off their meal with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate cake. Overall, price is reasonable and all meals were fabulous. Make sure to stop in when you’re on Broadway in Jim Thorpe.

We visited for my husband’s birthday and had a nice dinner. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing, and the chicken pot pie and lamb rack were solid, though overall the food was okay. Salads were average, but the bruschetta was good. A couple of appetizers we wanted — soup and crab — were unfortunately unavailable. The highlight dessert was the deluxe chocolate cake, which was rich and satisfying. Service was friendly and the atmosphere cozy, making it a pleasant spot for a special occasion.

My family stopped in on Oct 3 2025 around 6:00pm. We did not have to wait for a table and they were able to seat us on the balcony area which we enjoyed. Our family picked the following food items: Bruschetta Chicken, Underground Steak Burger, and Short Rib Grilled Cheese. All of the items were priced at 19 dollars each. Seems like a fair price for the location. The food was great. Everyone enjoyed what they picked. Tammy was our server and she was great. Very helpful. This was a great place, our family would recommend, it was was our 2nd time there and we had great experience both times. Will go back for sure.

During our recent lunch at Broadway Grille in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, we had the opportunity to try two distinct dishes. Crab Burger with Red Potato Fries: This dish was truly delightful. The crab burger was generously sized, and the accompanying red potato fries were equally ample. Both were served hot and were incredibly satisfying. The flavors were exceptional, making it a standout choice. Chicken Pot Pie: In contrast, the chicken pot pie did not meet our expectations. Having experienced more flavorful versions elsewhere, this one felt lacking in comparison. While it wasn't unpleasant, we wouldn't recommend it based on our personal preferences though the Cesar salad served with it; was delicious. Overall Experience: Despite the pot pie not being to our liking, the overall dining experience was positive. The food was served hot, and the service was commendable. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu offerings.

I got the short rib grilled cheese and added the bacon jelly and it was amazing, my partner got the chicken sandwich but said he felt like something was missing from it flavor wise. Otherwise the environment was great. Our server was nice: this was the first time we were in Jim Thorpe and I’d gladly come back!

The atmosphere at the bar and restaurant is outstanding. The fall decorations create a warm and inviting ambiance, and the food is consistently delicious. Molly and Nick, our bartenders, were friendly and attentive, providing valuable recommendations. Alexis, the bar manager, demonstrated exceptional hospitality, ensuring our experience was nothing short of exceptional. We revisited the Broadway more often than any other bar or restaurant. We would highly recommend visiting.

10/4/25 We were in town for the fall festival and stopped in for breakfast. It was crazy busy, after about 30mins we got a high table by the bar. Becasue there was only 1 bartender, we had to wait a long time for the bartender to come take our order. During a rush like this they should have a wait staff for this section instead of relying on the bartender to serve as wait staff. Anyways, the food was good. Broadway Breakfast was a good platter Cinnamon Bun Pancakes were delicious, I recommend this!

Wow! Amazing food. Amazing drinks. I don't usually order lamb but I'm so glad I did! I said to my husband at least 20 times it was the best meal I've had in a LONG time! Also get the apple salad. You will not be disappointed! Don't forget the dessert too. The chocolate mousse with fresh blueberries is incredible.

Best food in the entire town. Really not a lot of good restaurant options in Jim Thorpe but this place is top notch. Slightly larger than tapas style. Delicious food. Incredible menu. Very cute and well decorated right near everything in town. The rigatoni , roasted chicken , and burrata were my absolute favorites. The mushrooms were also insanely good. Everything was amazing. Definitely the best place in town - I hate pubs and breweries/bars for food.

My wife and I came into the Jim Thorpe area for an overnight. Our B&B recommended we go to Moya for dinner as we were not familiar with the area. I made a reservation in advance and when we arrived for our 6:00 PM reservation we were promptly seated in the upstairs dining area. It is more quiet and intermit than the downstairs area. Our server, Andrew was outstanding. He spent time going over the menu, gave me a "tasting" of a new wine offering and gave us time to decide what we wanted. Moya seems to be Euro themed, the portions are smaller and a-la cart and the portions are designed to be shared and enjoyed. I had the boneless beef short ribs and my wife had the branzino, both prepared well and enough to share making for a surf and turf dinner. We were never rushed and Andrew spent some time telling us what's around the area and where we might go for the remainder of the evening. All in all, a very enjoyable dining experience. Tip- Parking, the streets in Jim Thorpe are tight and parking is at a premium. After 6 PM parking is free in the lots near the train station, so if you have a later reservation, park in that lot and walk the few blocks to Moya.

We stopped in during on a busy Saturday during the fall festival without a reservation. We were luckily enough to be seated within 15 minutes. The food and the staff were both amazing. My husband order the half chicken with the sauteed mushrooms. Both were very good. On a personal note, I detest mushrooms, but was very hungry, and waiting for my meal to cool down, ate a few of the mushrooms. They were sauteed with some type of white bean and parm cheese. I couldn't believe how good they tasted. I ordered one of the specials they were offering; a chicken sandwich on rosemary focaccia bread. The bread was so amazing. I could have used a tad more of the arugula, but it was so good. I wanted to save half for later, but had to finish it all because it was just that good! We also got the very fudgy chocolate ice cream for dessert, which if you are a fan of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Brownie, you'll love it. I Highly recommend this place, we stopped on a whim, and were so glad we did.

We had an absolutely outstanding meal and experience at Moya. From cocktails upstairs with Andrew. Every single dish was creative, fresh, and flavorful —a true delight. What made the evening truly special, however, was the incredible hospitality. We were so graciously hosted by co-owner Stephanie, and our server, Maxine, was attentive and wonderful. You can feel the personal family touch in their restaurant, and it turns a great meal into a memorable, personal experience. In addition, Stephanie's artwork is displayed in the restaurant. This is a must-visit gem in Jim Thorpe. We can't recommend it highly enough!

Had to call in reservations in advance, they sat us immediately once we walked in. The à la carte meals were all proportionate for sharing amongst two people. The almond potatoes were fantastic, the rigatoni was a delicious and savory pasta cooked to a perfect al dente texture, we tried their special of the week which was an amazingly tender pork with a chipotle glaze, finally last but not least THE BRANZINO this fish was insane, cooked to perfection with a deliciously tart caper and tomato sauce. This dish complimented itself in every direction. Our server Aiden was super nice and very personable, he was very knowledgeable of the menu and was always checking in on us. It was a great experience all around and I highly recommend trying this unique and passionate restaurant

We decided to try due to the highly recommended reviews. Everything is made from scratch, so the waiting time was around 15 minutes to get the table. Even though the second floor seating is very nice, it felt tight. The service was okay. The food was good, it tasted fresh. One of the dishes that was ordered was the Mac&Cheese burger because strongly recommend it by the waiter. The macaroni was not good to the taste, very heavy and oily taste. The other dish was good, excellent potatoes and coleslaw.

Everything was gluten free!! I was able to pick from so many options. I have a dairy allergy as well and they did their best to make sure my food wasn’t contaminated. I had a burger and the bread was made fresh in house. The Potato salad was nice and creamy. Every bite was so delicious. I had the carrot cake for dessert and the whip cream was dairy free. It was not too sweet. The service was excellent. Holly was my server and she was great. I highly recommend this place.

Exceptional dining experience in a delightfully decorated, historic building with phenomenal service. The menu changes daily and the food is fresh, intentional, and cooked with love. My friends and I came here during a girl's trip to Jim Thorpe and were seated promptly upon opening (we were first in line). The decor was curated thoughtfully throughout and the vibe was welcoming and open. We were seated on the 2nd floor with natural light filling the room. I ordered the house, blueberry shrub which was absolutely phenomenal (I highly recommend it if you like kombucha). I ordered the herbaceous salad with salmon and a side of focaccia. The salad was fresh and the salmon was cooked perfectly with great flavor. The server gave great menu recommendations and was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to eat here again during my next visit to Jim Thorpe. There's definitely a reason they are rated #1 restaurant in Jim Thorpe.

A unique way to explore the town of Jim Thorpe PA and the surrounding area. Owner Barb is extremely knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area (and she seems to know everyone in town!). She's entertaining in her descriptions, and the trip is a one to one personal guided tour. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and this was a comfortable introduction -- not scary at all, no high speeds. My companion truly enjoyed the experience from the sidecar. I highly recommend Sidecar Tourz to anyone visiting the Jim Thorpe or Poconos area of Pennsylvania.

First time at Penn's Peak for a matinee Frabkie Valli tribute show. The venue is beautiful, the acoustics were excellent and the show was great. Since we went on a bus trip our day included the lunch. Food was very good although a little skimpy, for the average person no problem but if you have a hearty appetite maybe not....its served family style, our server was hesitant to bring out more of the chicken dish. Nestled high on a hill, I'll bet autumn is spectacular show.

One of the best or if not the best establishment I've ever seen a concert in. The sound is magnificent throughout the whole venue, no matter where you are in the building. I believe it's that place is made of wood throughout absorbing the sound, refining the music to come back to you in the most perfect sound, even bands that come there rave about how great the sound is and how much they love coming back to this venue. Highly recommended as far as concert halls go, and a great time to be had every time you visit if you're a music lover!

The afternoon show was incredible! It was a tribute to Linda Ronstadt. The band was amazing. If you closed your eyes you would think the vocalist was Linda singing. Beautiful, tone breath and control. Definelty star material. The acoustics in the concert room was wonderful. I had the advantage of sitting in front. But the band was sensitive enough to ask if everyone could hear them or if they were too loud. It's not often a band asks that) It was a wonderful event with musicians who truly love music and a beautiful young woman with an incredible. Thank you

Visitors can enjoy the welcoming environment with friendly staff and local artwork on display.
Visited last weekend and had a really enjoyable time. It was a little later in the day so it wasn't too crowded and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I absolutely loved the wines and we also enjoyed the cheese platter and bread that we got. The prices were great. We didn't feel rushed at all and it was nice just to sit and enjoy our tastings while we had some girl time. I also enjoyed the art displayed when we were there.

Fun place to hang out near the train station in Jim Thorpe. The staff were super friendly and the overall environment was very welcoming. The wine selection was decent. My husband and I tried the two reds (Frontenac and Marechal Foch) they had and enjoyed them both. I really liked the local art work on display and the layout is good for couples up to medium sized groups. The lady who served us was so easy going, it is worth mentioning again how great the staff is. Their tasting bar area can get packed; so we found an opening and she served us right away and said we could go ahead an find an empty table, that she trusted we would come back to settle our bill when we were ready to leave. We were pleasantly surprised and purchased a bottle of red not only because we enjoyed it, but because we wanted to repay the kindness and trust extended. Thanks for a great experience!

Was in town this past weekend for a couples weekend away in the ponocos. We drove from our air b and b after checkout, to Jim Thorpe for food and drink, walking around, shopping etc. We needed a restroom immediately upon parking and our group thought what better way to access a toilet than to do a wine tasting and get a few beverages. Prices were great - 3 for $6 or 5 for $10. The site was quaint. Local artists display/sell their art. There was some amazing felted work on display from an artist who graduated from a local art school in Philly. The wine was good (and I’m not even a wine person!) and our server Matt was awesome. Matt did a great job of keeping up with the high energy banter of our group. He made our visit fun and engaging. Would recommend. Will be back! And thanks for a ton of laughs Matt! ☺️

What can I say, Big Creek Vinyard (in Jim Thorpe) was excellent. Not only was the wine chefs kiss BUT, our server Alicia made the experience feel welcoming and exquisite.
