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!

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!

This train is beautiful, vintage decor, great service, beautiful views. It isn't a long ride, which I was fine with, I paid about $75 pp which included a small breakfast of sausage, egg, fruit and mimosa/coffee. It was just ok for me, my husband was happy to finish his and mine. We enjoyed this very much and highly recommend it.

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.

This was a fantastic fall experience. The town and the train ride were an amazing end-of-fall must-do. The town itself was lovely and had plenty to do. I recommend bringing a blanket if you’re visiting late fall with little ones. The prices vary depending on your seat, ranging from $22.00 to $24.00 for adults and $9.00 to $10.00 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the train booth, not online. The train ride is 45 minutes.

Beautiful views. Have been 4 times in the last Couple years. Only improvements I could suggest is adding more comforts and heating to the open air cabin, and having the docents be more informed to be able to answer questions. We asked the one in our car about something In the area that the voiceover presentation had mentioned but he knew nothing.

A cute experience to enjoy while visiting Jim Thorpe. We arrived just in time to jump on their noon time ride on a November week day. There were plenty of tickets available for the later rides as well. The track you go on isn’t the most exciting or scenic, but it was fun to take a ride on the train. The best part was the narrator and train staff. They did a great job telling stories and keeping people engaged.

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! 😀

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our experience at Broadway Grille + Pub was genuinely enjoyable. We stopped in for lunch— I went with the Cajun tacos, and my wife ordered the bison burger. My tacos were solid, and she said her burger and fries were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere had a warm, welcoming vibe, and our server was attentive, friendly, and always smiling. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, with the beer costing about the same as your average local bar. Overall, we had a great visit and would definitely stop back in for the food, service, and the relaxed atmosphere.

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!

A cozy restaurant that was busy during lunch on a crisp November day. Our waitress informed us when she came to our table that they were out of soups and salmon, which was interesting, but helpful. Glad they weren’t out of the two dishes we wanted or we would have left. The fish and chips was only ok. Not that great and didn’t look like a previous picture I saw someone post. I also found it interesting that by default it came with kettle chips not French fries. You could opt to “upgrade” to fries but I decided to try the chips, hoping they might be homemade, but they weren’t and were probably just a bag of chips. My husband got the chicken sandwich and upgraded to fries. He enjoyed his meal and the fries are really good. My suggestion would be to get fries and not their default chips for a better experience. I will say this is the first restaurant I’ve been to that has had fries as an upgrade and not a default. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is nice, and it works in a pinch if you’re a tourist stopping by for the day.

Stopped on impulse (hungry) bought eggs Benedict. I have never seen such tiny eggs. Canadian bacon, maybe 2 3/4 inches, even the English muffins were small. Just a minimal amount of hollandaise sauce…I asked for more 13.99 plus 2 for the proper amount. Are you kidding me?!!! Great job on being scrupulously stingy!

Very nice concert venue. Comfortable seats and pretty good acoustics. Adding sound damping to the walls would make it spectacular. Last night had a great Heart cover band (Bad Animals)!

This venue offers a wide variety music and shows. Along with great acoustics, comfortable seating, historic space, and a convenient location. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable.

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.

I brought my teenage son to see a CCR tribute band here. It is an intimate and historic venue. Refreshments were very reasonably priced. Parking was a bit far but it was free and they had a shuttle for people who didn't want to walk the distance. Overall great experience.

The opera house fits perfectly with the ambiance of Jim Thorpe. It is a small venue that creates an intimacy for both patrons and performers. Every seat has a wonderful view as well as great acoustics.

Great night at the Opera House! Bigger than we expected & great acoustics. Highly recommend a show when in town.

Awesome venue with excellent staff, clean restroom. Music was fun and dancing was encouraged. Cheapest bar in town with a snack bar as well

Super cute coffee shop, must see while in Jim Thorpe! The atmosphere is so cool, the Harry Potter menu flavors are unique! I love the decor and everyone was very friendly

A charming little café but a bit overhyped. The quiche was really good, and all the drinks and baked goods we tried — lattes, tea, cookies, and muffins — were excellent and fresh, though a little on the pricey side. There was a long line during the morning rush, but the staff handled it well. We went back around 5:40 PM for another visit, but it was already closed even though the listed closing time was 6 PM — a bit disappointing. Overall, good quality food and coffee, but expect crowds and slightly higher prices.

The coffee was okay, but the decoration was really beautiful. I feel like this place is a bit overhyped. When they got our order wrong, they fixed it quickly, which I appreciated. I’m not sure if they were short-staffed today or if they usually only have two people working, but they should definitely address that, especially since it’s such a busy spot. We stood in front of the register for about five minutes before anyone helped us. Overall, it’s a nice place to visit and enjoy the vibe.

Definitely a fun coffee house. I'm not sure I'd say it's really Harry Potter themed - it's more like Halloween/ Witch themed with some Harry Potter influences (chocolate covered wand pretzels, chocolate covered frogs, and I guess some Harry Potter flavors for coffee). If you're in the area I definitely recommend going to this coffee shop, it's worth the visit.

This place was great! No line, and the decor was amazing. We came on Halloween and everything was decked out. The options were extensive. I liked how they had vegan options. Our order came out quickly. I ordered a hot Phoenix which is dark chocolate and cayenne. I added a shot of espresso and it was very delicious. My partner ordered a dirty chai. We agree that it’s not the best chai we have tasted but it was good nevertheless. We also ordered a white chocolate and raspberry scone which was way bigger than we anticipated and very delicious. Everything was a vibe and honestly very enjoyable.

My husband and I visited this coffee shop on our honeymoon and we really enjoy the hallows drink so we were excited to come back. Due to it being a busy season in Jim Thorpe, it was ridiculously packed. We did manage to get a table and my kids enjoyed playing chess while they waited. We got quiche and a muffin which was good but not amazing. The service wasn’t great. The servers appeared stuck up. Hopefully this was just because they were really busy but they seemed annoyed by any questions which is frustrating after waiting in line and paying a decent amount for coffee.

Traveling the country and a new coffee spot is always the vibe! While visiting Jim Thorpe this gem was super vibe and super spooky. The drinks were pretty good and the staff was friendly. If you want to visit somewhere with a vibe similar to Salem this is your stop!

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

I am from NYC and took a nice overnight road trip to give this place a try since it shares my mother's name. The place is nice and cozy with modern art decor. The server was very friendly and helpful and food was really delicious. Hopefully, I will go back again when I do another trip to Jim Thorpe PA.

A delightful place with beautiful contemporary furnishings. They have a large beverage menu; i had a summery sangria flavored with orange and dragonflies. The entrees were delicious and not so large that you could not finish them; good if you are staying in a hotel. I had gnocchi in a light cream sauce with chopped tomato, herbs and chunks of crab meat. It was exquisite. The chocolate was very thick, and it was slightly bitter -- which I love. The prices are moderate compared to the quality of the food. I will eat here again.

The atmosphere of this cafe absolutely gives Alice in Wonderland. It's definitely an inspiration for the aesthetic!! I have only given three stars as I was not impressed by the AI generated artwork that was framed on every wall. I feel that supporting artists who give the vibes the cafe owners are seeking would be a positive alternative as opposed to AI generated artwork. I hope to visit again in the future!

Cute spot with a cozy vibe. We tried the macchiato, mocha, and matcha — all were okay but tasted a bit thin and watery for our liking. The cookies, however, were really good! The highlight was definitely the server — she was amazing, super friendly, and made the visit enjoyable. Service gets a full 10/10.

As a coffee shop, this place is fine, i just take offense to the fact that their description is: “Laid-back, cozy shop with *vintage decor* serving coffee and tea, plus homemade ice cream in a variety of flavors.” The decor is not vintage—It’s horrible AI-generated art they’re selling for $15

A fun little spot with Alice in Wonderland–style, whimsical vibes. The coffee was flavorful, and the attendant was incredibly sweet—offering everyone a smile, kind wishes, and honest recommendations about the different flavors. The Mauch Chunk blend was on the pricier side, even for a tourist spot, but it’s a treat-worthy coffee. I’m giving the full five stars thanks to the wonderful service that made the visit feel so genuine and welcoming.

I remember we were here in October 2023 and it was our first visit to Jim Thorpe, we ordered for an ice cream(lavender lemon) loved that flavor so much it was unique and delicious 😋 and my husband said he had the best latte ever. So we visited Jim Thorpe today in October 2025 and straight away ordered 3 lattes and trust me it was Ah-amazingly good 👍 We will always go back to this cute, lovely and cozy cafe for a treat ☕️ Oh we had their triple chocolate muffin too and it was delicious, the sweetness was apt!🧁

The prices are quite reasonable for a tourist spot. The restaurant has such a cute atmosphere with an Alice in Wonderland theme. They also serve food really fast . I didn’t have to wait long at all!

Been here twice, once on a busy weekend and second on a weekday. The previous day we got affocado which was good, but the second day we ordered two mocha lattes. When we got them, there was absolutely no coffee at all, they just tasted like hot chocolate. At first, I thought it was just mine, but my partner’s didn’t have any coffee as well. I brought it up and the girl there said there were 2 shots of espresso in each. I pressed a little further, but she insisted there was coffee in our drinks. I gave up and just drank the rest of my hot chocolate, but I’m honestly disappointed. I really needed some coffee and now I’ll have to get some more somewhere else :( the vibe is cool though

I ordered french onion soup and specifically asked to leave out the bread/croutons. After waiting 15 mins for soup I was given my over priced ($5.30) cup of soup. When I opened it up I found 2 slices of soggy bread and 1/2 cup of soup. Don't bother eating at this place there are better options in town.

Food was tasty and they had some interesting ice cream flavors! Service was very friendly. I recommend the "Gran Slam" shake.

The Bear fish soup is to die for, clam, salmon, shrimp delicious.. wow what a surprise, PS the desserts are amazing

Took them 40 minutes to bring our food, which was burgers and fries, they forgot the fries… Really bad service, and dont look like a clean place! look at the restroom and the monitors in the front! Really bad service . I DO NOT recommend this place! It was our option running from the rain. Look for a better place

The food was delicious. I went there to go and get breakfast with my friend and it was delicious! My scrambled eggs looked amazing and were cooked greatly. The bacon was also nice a crispy and we both loved it. My friend had the french toast and it was very well made. We absolutely loved the staff as they were nice and the service was quick and fast. All of our food came out quick and hot. If you are in Jim Thorpe I recommend coming here. It feels super cozy and the service is amazing. It may not be the most classy, but it was the best food I've ever eaten.

I never leave reviews but this place was disgusting. My mom is diabetic so we just picked a random place because she needed to eat. We were seated by a waiter and handed breakfast menus despite it being 11:45am. We then overheard waitress talk to other customers and tell them it was lunch hours so we waited 15 minutes until somebody paid attention to us again and asked for lunch menus when we placed our drink orders. I eventually got a burger that was burnt and my mom had a salad with dirty produce in it. Her silverware was also filthy. There’s zero atmosphere to the place and everything was DIRTY! I got sick shortly after eating here and it was the only thing I’d had all day. Our waitress and waiters were not attentive at all. My mom and I were upset that we had wasted our money on such mediocre food and service. The owners I believe also came in and threw their purses and jackets behind my chair, against the wall. Very strange and yucky.

When we walked in, the waitress took us to this table with one chair. There were two of us, and we had to find our own chair and move it to the table. When we sat down and ordered, she told us french fries were an extra dollar. My friend got them, and there were only 18 little fries. Yes, we counted. Our two meals also took over 40 mins to come out, and when they did, they were awful. I got the chicken bacon cheddar wrap, and the chicken was incredibly hard to eat because of how dry it was. My friend couldn’t finish her burger. Our waitress also didn’t bother to check on us once. We were never offered refills, or got asked how our food was. We had to ask a different waitress for our bill because ours was nowhere to be found. The rest of the staff seemed really sweet and helpful, but unfortunately, we still had a very bad experience.

We wandered into The Mad Hattery during our first visit to Jim Thorpe and were pleasantly surprised by the whimsical Atmosphere of this perfectly located winery and smoke house. The owner was very friendly. The moonshine mixed drinks were unique and tasty. Our meals were absolutely delicious and very filling. I never had pulled chicken this good! The prices are also insanely good for a touristy town like Jim Thorpe, which is great if you’re not looking to spend an arm and a leg eating out. It was pretty crowded when we got there but no reservations were required and we could sit down and relax while waiting to be served after a long day of shopping and sightseeing. I definitely recommend this place.

New to the area, and i must say. love the cozy atmosphere. very homey type. the service was spectacular. My heart aches for Sarah because she was the only waitress in the establishment. It was completely full house, so many customers to attend. However she was a superstar. We was totally patient and of course there was other groups who are patient and understands the situation. I wanted to help for a bit but i decided not to because i don't want to cause any issues. Lastly, the food was very worth the wait. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, w| french fries. it was totally made with love. If I'm around the area i would totally come here again. Thank you again Sarah for your hard work, and enduring during the rush hour. Remember you are a superstar.

We had a great experience visiting The Mad Hatter during WinterFest! The atmosphere was so fun and our food was very good too. The place is eclectic, but that’s just one of the many things we loved about it. Sarah was a great server and our piano player was AMAZING!! Not to mention the cutest pup laying by the fire 😍

We had to catch the rail ride and for cheap parking, so we reached this neighborhood early in the morning (8 AM). we visited this restaurant for breakfast & coffee. The decor is amusing and unique, This place is Alice's tea party, it nailed that ambiance. The chairs had heart-shaped backs which perfectly fit the theme. I was here only for breakfast and ordered french toast with coffee. The only guy I saw was the owner, he was taking care of everything. so service was on the slow side but let's accept it, we are in this area to enjoy the moment and not to "catch the train" (Pun intended).

The food was decent but the service was terrible. It took them almost an hour to come out with my French toast and scrambled eggs that takes 5 mins to make. The lady made an excuse that her daughter dropped it but still took forever to come out. In addition, a table across from me ordered after me and still got their food first. Terrible service do yourself a favor and don't come here. Their coffee sucks and stay away.

Stopped by for an impromptu breakfast and had great tasting affordable food! Super-friendly service and eclectic decorations completed this charming style. We also got entertained by the lovely piano player. Tight space but the atmosphere made up for it!

Ate here for lunch and it was a huge hit! The ribs were amazing and fell right off the bone. The pulled pork sandwich was very tasty with the homemade sauces they bring out with it. The “adult” slushies were also very good! Can’t recommend this place enough! Also great prices!

Review limited to the two items that I had: Giant beer pretzel and a vodka mixed drink. Both were excellent. Menu has burgers starters salads sandwiches etc. Very fine service.

An unexpected delight 😋 Excellent food. Hearty portions. Reasonably priced. We both truly enjoyed our visit. Wife had the Hot Open Turkey with, of course, mashed potatoes. Loved it. I had the Ruben with a baked potato, delicious 🤤 Katie, our server,made our visit special. We were just passing through the Town of Jim Thorpe. What a special place. Must visit.

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!

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!

Butternut squash soup was really good. Loved the pirogies. Ask for horseradish. Really good with it. Chili was good as well as roast beef sandwich. Sat at the bar.

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.

Truly the finest music venue in the Northeast region, I swear it was built just for music. If you put your ears up against the walls on the main floor, it didn't the noise so well that it is amazing. All of the amenities are well placed, good beers, food, nice little place to chill out, the stage is great the sound is even better. Trulia place that you can trust to see great sounding music and that is venue and listenr friendly. If great acts that come through that are not a million dollars. The quality and sound of the music beats any preconceived notions you may have. As a self-proclaimed audio file, it really sounds good in there, not like an empty Warehouse that has really good speakers. This place has the science to back up the sound. I would happily go there to see any band anytime any day. Easy on and off the interstate and turnpike. Literally no complaints at all thank you pain speak for holding it down and bringing great music to the area. Always a trustworthy venue for quality artists and

Nice venue for a concert. Easy parking and exit. Little wait a bar area. Saw queensryche there lights and sound were excellent.

Great venue. Reasonably priced drinks. Plan your arrival because seating is a by first come first but there is plenty of seating. They also sell food. Chicken tender and fries for 11 bucks plus things like hotdogs, pretzels, coffee and of course alcohol. Very clean and cozy despite the 1800 guest capacity. We arrived 45 min before doors opened and got great seats. Lynch nob is a great band. Firehouse is coming up next.

A nice concert hall with plenty of parking, a bar and snacks for the show. We saw the Aerosmith tribute band Draw the Line there. They also have a connected restaurant if you want more than snacks.

Dinner was enjoyed by our group of 5 adults & 4 children. The drinks were great and service EXCEPTIONAL, thank you Diane. Two of us celebrated birthdays & she surprised us with mini ice cream sundae, candles & song. And birthday cupcake glasses! Lol. 10-25-25.

What a great place! The food, the view, and a great show; Sinatra and Streisand, the concert that never was... And a great band too! Was awesome.

Great tribute to Jim Thorpe, just outside the historic part of town, including his grave, and several statutes of his Olympic and football accomplishments. A baseball statue is currently under construction. There is also a section detailing the history of his life and accomplishments on a series of plaques.

My wife always wanted to come to Jim Thorpe to go hiking in the fall. Absolutely gorgeous and so glad we did in the fall but I honestly had no idea who he was. That he was an al time gold Olympic in just about every category and one of the first pro football legends. Want to learn more. Check this place out if you're in town.

This memorial is quite impressive. The placards off to the side tell the story of Jim Thorpe, the man, quite well. Well worth a quick stop.

What an amazing man and an amazing memorial. There is wonderful information about his family and achievements. A great stop!

It felt somber and enlightening. His story is inspiring and pne of struggle of the times.

This is an interesting monument for an American sports hero. If you take the trolley tour it's on one of the stops.

Very informative presentation of Jim Thorpes life by Cassie on the trolley tour.

I did the Erie Canal trip with Pocono Biking and I am happy to give them 5 stars and more if they were available. The trip was well planned and staffed with experienced, knowledgable and caring people. Their motto was, "this is your trip" and they strove to make it an enjoyable one. The van was spacious and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone and their luggage. The hotel and restaurants were excellent. There was no pressure in terms of speed or timing. I especially appreciated the signage they set up at the end of each day once we got off the trail to help us easily naviage to our hotel. Because of all of the above, we all had a fabulous time. I would highly recommend both Pocono Biking and this trip to anyone considering a chartered bike trip.

We loved our bike trip through the Poconos with beautiful views of the fall leaves, Lehigh Gorge and a few waterfalls on the way, ending up in charming Jim Thorpe! The ride was easy. The views were breathtaking and Pocono biking made all of it super simple. We did the 25 mile ride from White Haven and took the shuttle but if you are short on time, the 15 mile from Rockport is just as stunning and even if you just grab bikes and ride from Jim Thorpe, you will get your moneys worth! Also, can we talk about how comfortable the cushioned seat is? It’s an upgrade but the best money you’ll ever spend! 🤣

We had the most splendid experience with Pocono Biking. Our car broke down in the morning which resulted in a very chaotic morning, but they were very accommodating and understanding. The trail is very beautiful with lots of mini waterfalls and great views of the river. My favorite part was the bridge and the railroad (pictures included). I will definitely be returning if I visit the area again, this was my absolute favorite. To those who are concerned about the 25 miles, it is very easy riding and there are no uphills, but you will still get views of the bridge with the 15 miles option.

Great local bike shop with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. They offer a good range of bikes, and accessories. Prices seemed reasonable for quality products. If you’re exploring the Pocono area or need biking, it’s a solid spot to check out.

I had an excellent experience renting from Pocono Biking. The crew was friendly and efficient. The shuttle to Glen Summit was great and the ride back to Jim Thorpe was enjoyable. The rental bike was high quality and the store has everything you need to enjoy a ride in Jim Thorpe. I highly recommend checking out all their services when visiting the area.

Amazing experience. Lucky enough to enjoy on a beautiful midweek day during pre Peak foliage. Thoroughly enjoyed our time meandering through the Lehigh River Gorge on this scenic 25 mile journey! 🚲🍁🌳❤️

The rental bikes were nice, I would definitely upgrade to a comfort seat though. The shuttle experience was exactly what you'd hope it to be. The trail was well maintained and there were so many great spots to stop and take amazing photos or to just take a break.

The place is certainly unique just like the town. It was very hot the day we came and the beautiful shade was welcome. The waitress was really kind and helpful. It was a nice respite after the swimming lake. The food was not extremely memorable but the environment was really interesting.

The wait can be long especially during leaf peeping season but it’s much better than the pub closer to the train station and some restaurants will close at 3:30 to reopen for dinner at 4 or 5; which can kind of suck for folks trying to find food after the 2PM train. That’s why this place comes in clutch. Fries, burgers and the Irish beef stew were amazing, just took a bit for the food to come out (but it was fresh and hot!). Beer and whiskey selection are all local within 100 miles and are on point. If you want a warm drink the hot toddy and mulled wine are perfect choices.

First and foremost the food was delicious and the entire atmosphere was cozy and inviting. My husband and I ate outside. Our waiter Robert was soooo good. He was attentive and funny and we were very lucky to have him help us. While we were there the employees had to deal with a few absolutely insane customers. The kind that everyone dreads running into a group of the most stereotypical Karens ever. All the staff handled the situation in a respectful manner. The woman was angry that they would not allow her to bring ice cream from a local cart into their establishment. Her and her friends were heinous. They cursed at workers, repeated blew vape smoke into the sitting area while loudly yelling and carrying on. Everyone remained so professional (not me I clapped when they finally gave up and walked away) Their loss was our gain. We got to really talk to the workers because we wanted to make sure they knew that regardless of those jerks they were so appreciated. I’ve already planned a return trip with myself and 11 other family members. I can’t wait to bring them to the restaurant. Thank you for such a memorable night and I think you should add that mushroom soup from Saturday September 13th to the menu permanently it was just the at good 💙

Went with a very large group of people here. The hostess was calm and accommodating. The service was fantastic. The food however was a bit of a disappointment. A variety of dishes were ordered at my table of 7 and no one particularly liked their dish. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich tasted like microwaved chicken. The chicken tenders reminded me of Dino nuggets. Same texture. The pastrami Reuben was the only item relatively liked. They have a special chipotle ketchup that was hit or miss depending on the person. The chunker was also liked. Don’t order the Wellington, it was not good. Fish and chips was flavorless. If you want a quick something the outdoor seating here is on point but lower your expectations for the food quality.

We did a weekend trip to Jim Thorpe and I was so glad we stopped here for lunch. My husband and I dat at the bar. The service was great, the food was so good I loved the French onion soup. Definitely stop here if you are in town.

Went for lunch. Food was great. We had the chili, burger and fish and chips. Lots of good drinks options. Waitress was not friendly at all. Seemed like she was bothered to be there.

First time to Jim Thorpe and wanted to check out Marion Hose Bar. We couldn’t get seats at the bar because the open seats were the managers seats, even though she wasn’t there, her empty martini glass was. We were pointed to a table that has food scraps on it and the server then clean the table. When asking for the season tap the server did not know, when asked if it was local we were told yes, all beers come within a 100 mile radius, a three hour drive doesn’t feel local. The cocktail, gimlet, was super sweet, poor ratios and didn’t taste like real lime juice as the menu states. Likely Rose’s which isn’t real. When I asked if it was real lime juice or Roses the server said we make everything in house, three times, I asked for her to see if the bar uses real lime juice. She returned to say the lime juice is the only thing that they do not make at the bar and that it comes in the bottle, no understanding of it was actually real. Hence the super sweet cocktail. The table next to us had old fashions yet they did not finish them and opted for beer instead. When the pretzel arrived we had to ask for cutlery and napkins. The food is pretty good, definitely recommend the Porchetta sandwich. The steak salad was okay, the steak was not cooked to order like some of the pictures in reviews show. Overall, the ambiance is great, and so is the food, the bar and service feel like there could be major improvements.

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!

A great little tour and insight into local history. Staff is very courteous and the gift shop is cute too. Tickets are super inexpensive and proceeds maintain the facility. Definitely a must see/experience if you're in the area 😁

We didn’t go inside, but the building itself looks very historic and gives a sense of the town’s past. Even from the outside, you can appreciate its architecture and the story it represents. A quick stop for anyone walking through downtown Jim Thorpe who enjoys history and old buildings.

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.

I enjoyed the Wine and Suds Tour, the Ghosts and Graveyards tour and the Historic Jim Thorpe Tour. All staff were a blast! Devon was Hilarious and stayed in character the whole time. Bingo and Karen were great! Karen kept the group alive and moving. Ed is so knowledgeable about Jim Thorpe and the information is amazing. The trolleys are comfortable and despite the rain off and on they made sure we were covered and taken care of. I will recommend and come back with more friends

The Jim Thorpe Trolley Tour is an absolute must-do if you’re visiting this charming little town! From start to finish, it was such a fun and informative ride. The trolley itself is adorable—clean, comfortable, and gives you that perfect vintage feel while still being easy to hop on and off. Our guide was Glenn and he wasincredible—warm, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that brought Jim Thorpe’s rich history to life. His jokes were hysterical too! I loved learning about the architecture, the famous personalities tied to the area, and the quirky little details you’d never know just walking around on your own. There was fun music mixed in at points on the ride too that even had the people in town dancing! If you want a mix of history, fun, and sightseeing wrapped into one experience, this is it! Best of all, DOG FRIENDLY! Highly recommend!

We did the Ghost and Graveyard trolley tour as well as the Historic one earlier in the day. First, I have to say that once I got back to my hotel from the ghost tour I knew I had to write this review tonight. The historic tour was nice and informative but the ghost tour was absolutely fun and hilarious. Devin was our tour guide and he played his role amazingly well. He was in character the whole time and I loved every minute of it. After the loss of my mom a year ago, I haven’t really genuinely laughed at all. I never thought I would again. Devin changed that in the one hour that we had with him. I laughed so hard and really had a great time while hearing about the towns ghost stories and listening to songs that made this tour fun and silly. Devin had some great dance moves and jokes. I could never thank him enough for bringing some joy back into my life after the year I’ve had. I hope this review convinces you how great and fun this is to do because it is absolutely worth it.

We took the ‘Ghosts and Graveyard Tour’ on Saturday night with our boys (11yo and 8yo). We all had fun and really enjoyed it! Our guide, Devin Vasquez, was excellent - very funny, informative, and great energy. Highly recommend!

We did the Jim Thorpe 70-minute trolley tour and we can't say enough good things about it. Kathy was an excellent tour guide sharing a plethora of historical information and being just a fun person. She played some country, oldie and pop genre music that had the bus and streets dancing -- especially to YMCA! Ted was a great driver and though he did not say much, he knew his way around probably with his eyes closed! We've never been on a trolley tour and it was interesting to learn about Jim Thorpe, his life and experiences and how the town named him. There's no need to think about booking this tour, go book it and you won't be disappointed. I will say that it's best to drive in two hours (minimum) before scheduled time to look for parking because when we got there the lot was full and we got very lucky getting close parking on the street with a large truck. As for the area, there is plenty to do with the family and there are some cool stores to explore in the downtown area as well as restaurants to eat.

We scheduled the Ghosts and Graveyards tour and were wowed by the whole experience! The tour guide (Devon sp?) was so fun and enthusiastic. From the introduction to the end he and his ghostly companions provided us with an exciting, fun, and informative ride around Jim Thorpe. From someone who both hosts and attends LOTS of these experiences, I highly recommend this tour.

We had such a fun time doing the historical trolley tour! The seats were comfortable, and the person hosting us on the trolley tour itself was super funny and friendly. We were absolutely amazed to learn about Jim Thorpe and some of the town's history. We had no idea that he was such a cool guy. Even without the historical aspect of the tour, the drive around on the trolley to look at scenery was really nice. We wish they went a little more in depth about the mansions around town, but that was really our only complaint. The price is very fair for the experience. We would go back again and do some of their other tours for sure.

Would have been a great experience, but is currently under construction and you cannot get on the property. I recommend the other road just further down.. it goes up to a beautiful vista overlook

Awesome overlook of Jim Thorpe! I drove over an hour just to see this and between this location and a few others I was definitely pleased!!! I want to come back and see the town more as well when it’s not as crowded. This particular weekend was part of fall fest so I didn’t get into the town. Definitely coming back!

This is a small lookout in the parking lot of a restaurant. It's a steep drive to get up there, but if you like taking pictures, the view won't disappoint.

Closed off and not available. Curvy and rough road up so don’t waste your time.

Great location. Not so fun when the gate is closed and they want you to hike up to view. Be sure everyone in your party can make the trip up the easy trail.

This is an resort heard that can be rented out that weddings all the pics posted here aren't accurate. If u pass this resort and drive about quarter mile on the left canyon rim estates realtors made a lookout place free for all, u can drive up there for free from 9 am to dawn. U can see lots of lots layed out. Once u reach the top u have the best lookout.

Gorgeous, the view is breath taking. It made me regret that I didn't bring my DSLR!

Conveniently located next to Pines Peak. Our food was fine. Two orders of fajita bowls and a burger, so that's hard to mess up, I guess. But, yes, the other reviews about how slow the service is here, are true. Over an hour after being seated before our entrees showed up. We had to remind staff that we were waiting for our appetizers. Our drinks went empty and we had to flag down service for our refills and orders. We gave ourselves ample time before the concert started to have a meal and relax, and still, we finished just few minutes before the start of the show, feeling rushed. If you plan on going here before a show, just mentally prepare to be waiting almost two hours between waiting to be seated and finishing your meal. You've been warned.

This place offers a nostalgic vibe of musical history. So many cool photos to check out of great bands, singers of past and present. The drinks were good, the nachos are an absolute must. We could have eaten those for days! Service was good, friendly, accommodating staff. This is a cool place to check out.

Great atmosphere. Highly recommend whether you're going for Sunday lunch or to see a concert, the staff, views, everything is outstanding. Highly recommend. Plenty of parking, kid friendly, reasonably priced. There's something for everyone!

Food was fine. View is great. Service needs work. Sat down. Now one came for over 10 mins. Took order, brought alcoholic drink orders only. All sodas for 3 people at table didnt come at all. Even once food came. Had to go to bar to ask for them. Never came back to refill anything. Split check wasnt split as asked. Saw our server 3 total times in over an hour.

Great food with amazing views. You can sit at the bar while you wait to be seated at a table. We walked around and took pictures. Highly recommend.

Great food, great views, amazing customer service, clean bathrooms. Will be coming back here when in the area! The onion rings, spicy burger and the rice bowl were all really good!!

The best view with the worst possible service and management and food. I was blown away by the view, but I was even more surprised at how awful the food was. It was a party if 10 people and everyone's order was either severely under cooked or extremely over cooked. On top of that it took them 45 minutes to start getting the food out like apptizers and 1 hour 30 minutes for the last plate and the place was empty!!!! They need to change the chefs. Horrible management. The waiters never gave us the utensils like spoons and forks so we can eat the rice and shrimp. They gave us empty ketchup bottles i had to get up and go get one my self from another table and the 2 waiters took 35 minutes just to bring out the sodas. And the place was empty!!!! Horrible management. The view was breathtaking and stunning. You will not regret the view. They charge a lot for basic foods like 20$ for a burger but I dont understand how they are charging that much and still have horrible food. Go to Slope side grill and pub 100 time better. Do not go here unless your ordering just drinks, like water and soda (it might be a 35 minute wait).

Table is a bit tight for 2 person at least the table where we sat (middle area). Waitress (didn’t know her name) was really nice and friendly (older pretty lady). Calamari wasn’t that bad. Me and my husband ordered different things but from the pictures seems the same. I had shrimp tempura, he had lobster. And then I ordered drunken noodles to go. When I got home and give it a try, I like the thick noodles that they used but the sauces/ seasonings I didn’t really like it much.

Wow!! What a hidden gem 💎. While the menu is extensive, the true star of the show is the sushi 🍣. We were pleasantly surprised by just how delicious it was! Sushi might not be the first thing you think of in this area, but Myst is absolutely worth a visit. We wish we lived closer because we loved it! Favorite of the night: the Myst Roll - the Crazy and Super Lobster rolls were close seconds🥢✨.

As vegetarians it can be difficult to find food especially in small towns. Somehow landed on this place on google and went in for lunch. Our server Alora was really sweet and kind and quickly helped us with the menu and provided us a different menu that is gluten free and for vegetarians. We ordered veg lunch combo which came with miso soup. Everything was delicious 🤤 we all loved the flavors, quantity and the texture. Will definitely come back here next time 👍

Wish I could give more than five stars for service. My wife is pregnant and the server went through the menu with us to pick out the safest items for her to eat. The server also double checked with another server to ensure the items we ordered were actually fully cooked and made additional recommendations. The sushi rolls we ordered were perfect, we would absolutely come back again if we were in the area.

I loved this place! my boyfriend and i visited for lunch on a day trip and absolutely adored it. the atmosphere is cute, quirky, and clean. the location is ideal because it’s right at the heart of the quaint town, looking out onto the square and the train station. there is seating available in the window, which we really enjoyed. our server was attentive and personable with not only us but the large party seated next to us. he refilled our waters very quickly and our food was out in perfect time. the food was affordable and delicious, as well. we were full for 15 dollars a person!

We were seated quickly for a table of 3. Loved how they used artwork from local artists to decorate the place & it is for sale! Waitress came to us quickly and was attentive during our time here. Everything came out pretty quickly, miso soup & Gyoza were HOT and yummy. Our sushi was fresh and delicious.

When you try to do too much, you're often not good at anything. Such is this pan-Asian place serving Japanese, Thai, and Chinese food. The salmon sushi was inedible, clearly not fresh. We also had to ask for it because somebody forgot. The green curry was watery and didn't taste like Thai curry at all. My fried soft shell crab and avocado crab salad were ok. The vibe is a college-town, purple and black gothesque place. The decor looked cheap and make-do and the art was mediocre. Decent price but I'd rather spend more money for a better experience.

Excuse my pictures since it was dimmed when my mum and gf came here. We were greeted right away as soon as we walked through the door. The staff was very friendly and professional. Our foods were AMAZING! The fries were so crisp and not soggy at all! If you like crunchy fries I highly recommend. Also they can make mocktails from most of the menus if you’re not an alcohol drinker!

Food was excellent. We had the sweet chili tacos, you have to try them, they are a hit. The margarita pizza was also great served on cauliflower crust. If you come to Jim Thorpe you must stop by. I also found my friends magazine spread while enjoying the street view, super cool @theagencychic

Awesome food selection. There was a street corn special that was fantastic. Had one of the best sours ever here, brewed from Rotunda Brewing. Bartender was a very chill and relaxed guy. Loved coming here and would highly recommend to visitors to Jim Thorpe.

Amazing drinks and food. This place is a hidden gem! I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying a drink and wings, the birria egg rolls were excellent. You will not be disappointed

Randomly found it while being that typical tourist at Jim Thorpe and was absolutely blown away by their food and atmosphere! Seating is a bit on the “could do better” side, but it’s a pub/bar, not a dedicated restaurant, so it fits the vibe. Their “Smash Burger” is literally to die for. Don’t be fooled by the typical “smash burger” name thinking it’s small; it’s a double patty masterpiece. And whoever came up with that Bacon Jam? Absolute genius. Now the flatbread pizza… literally unreal. Both the pepperoni and margherita were spot on. The dough was like a brilliant garlic breadstick, perfectly baked with just the right chew, buttery flavor, and crisp edges. The sauce had that perfect mix of sweet and savory, and the toppings hit the mark without going overboard. You can tell they actually care about flavor, not just throwing ingredients together. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, with warm, homey vibes. We sat upstairs where it felt like hanging out with friends, just a really good time all around. 10/10 will definitely be coming back!

Went here for a quick bite to eat. The service was fast and impeccable. The food was awesome and the drinks were great! Definitely coming here again the next time I’m in the area!

Wow! Must try! All the food was amazing. The beer was unbelievable the drinks were amazing, the cheesesteak eggrolls wow! The brisket did! The buns! Coming back for that fried chicken sandwich and wings! And I’m from Florida! That good!

I don't know how they are highly rated. I won't recommend this place to anyone. The food was so bad, we couldn't finish a single dish. On the other hand, the server (an old white woman) was so mean to us. She was muttering that we shouldn't order food if we can't finish. Overall horrible experience. Don't fall for the rating. Stay 100 miles away from this restaurant.

let me tell you about this chicken I had the today. It was straight up bussin', I'm talking next level flavor explosion in my mouth. This chicken was so good, it had me doing a happy dance right there in the restaurant. I mean, I couldn't get enough of it. I swear, this chicken must have been marinated in unicorn tears and sprinkled with fairy dust, because it was magical. The crispy skin, the juicy meat, it was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. I don't know what kind of secret herbs and spices they used on this chicken, but it was like a flavor bomb went off in my mouth. It was so good, I almost licked the plate clean. Almost.

Love their food and service.

Ok place with decent food. Lunchtime can get busy so plan accordingly. Omelette and breakfast sandwich took 45 minutes to show up but the kitchen did get overwhelmed at one point. Weird enough, not many places in town are open Mon-Wed.

First time for breakfast and it was really good... Worth every penny

I got a cheese steak and fries that only gave me 15 fries I go other place and I get more for same price and it was never like before what's happening

So delicious, good price! 10/10 recommend

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.

A beautiful and serene lake with plenty of hiking and camping options. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and the rental staff are so kind and accommodating. Highly recommend renting a kayak or SUP to really enjoy the water. The park rangers are attentive, and rules are well-enforced to promote both safety and mutual respect for this beautiful place.

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!

We went camping at Mauch Chunk Lake and even with a heavy rain at night, we had an amazing time! The campsite was cozy, the lake views were beautiful, and we even got to enjoy a movie night right on the beach. Such a fun and unique experience — can’t wait to come back!

Jim Thorpe was overcrowded.....we came across this Lake Park by chance. It was a beautiful day out. The park was open to the sun and Overwhelming with scenery of fall foliage colors. Great place to enjoy your day .

The staff was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The facilities were clean and included hot showers and a cafe for after your experience. We chose the dam-release whitewater with class II and III rapids. They’re great for beginners who want something more than a float downriver. If you’re experienced and want a challenging adventure, you’ll probably want a different river. If you want a more calm but fun float on the river, go on a regular (not dam-release) day. I’ve tried one of the other companies on this river, and I liked this one better. The river is the same beautiful, family-friendly experience. The staff and facilities make the difference.

We are a family with three little kids. We love this place and had a lot of fun. Everything is very well organized, they will provide a lot of instructions before heading to the river. Meanwhile, there will be at least three people going along the group the entire time to make sure everything goes smoothly and offer you the help needed at the first place. We purchased the package with lunch in the middle of the rafting. Hot dogs, lemonade, water, apple, potato salad will be offered. At the end of the day, you can purchase S’more, chicken tenders, fries, burger and a drink in their cafeteria. All in good price, not crazily expensive like some waterpark. We will come back next year for a more challenging experience.

First time I ever been white water rafting I came here this summer 2025 and my boyfriend proposed to me here right by the lake before we went water rafting! Let me say it was just amazing and beautiful the staff videotaped it! They were so kind and loving and friendly! And just treated us like we were a part of the family! Even when we were on the water, I felt safe with a few teachers on the water there to help us if anything! This is just such an amazing place. Can’t wait to go back ! 🥰❤️❤️

Very well organized, great guides and staff. Clean facilities. We had a great time. The only thing that made it less than five stars for me were the number of other participants who just had no idea what they were doing or what they were getting themselves into to. This resulted in us having to stop and wait numerous times while people are spinning out of control, not paddling, going down the river backwards, etc. I’d say the time spent waiting around was a drag, but we still had a great time and I understand it’s a large group with various skill levels. The guides are incredibly patient, God bless them honestly. Not sure if they have a more serious trip we could have booked instead for people who are experienced on the river.

We are on an easy tour, so it is not so rafty. It could be more fun if it is a bit bumpy:) But they are nice and friendly. We had good time there. Some of the guides are super nice friendly, some are confusing.

Before I booked this trip, I wish I knew there were no guides on the rafts. I have never experienced this on a rafting trip before. There were two guides on kayaks, one in the front, directing the group, and one all the way in the back. It was a full busload of people, so if you had an issue you had to wait for the guy in the back to get to you (and he was the only one dealing with issues, causing the front guy to frequently have the rafts in front pull to the side to wait for the back groups). We'd done a prior trip elsewhere (not in PA) and had an amazing time, so looked forward to even more time on the water here. The EZ trip is basically a long haul through an area with lots of big rocks just under the surface. Without close guides to steer around them, people kept getting stuck on the rocks. When another boat was stuck, we didn't have time to steer around it and collided. I thought we'd bump them and push their boat off, but instead, it knocked three of us out (me, husband, 7 year old), and sucked us all under the boat (also knocked several people off the other boat). It happened so fast so I don't know how it all went down, but I was able to grab onto my daughter and pull her to me (and she was sucked under again, despite her life vest, as we navigated over another rock, the one that's causing my foot to be in the air in the photo; thankfully I was still holding her and grabbed her to me). It just so happened that the camera person they have along the route caught us after ejection. When I spoke to the rear guide after the fact he said he'd taken many "involuntary swims" in that spot, and said that while the water sucks your under, it quickly spits you back out. That may very well be true, but it was so stressful in the moment and I cannot even think of how awful it would have been had I not been holding onto my daughter the whole time. I never saw him while we were in the water and I was trying to keep my daughter safe. That rear guide was very nice, but he's only one person. The front guide seemed annoyed to be there. When they gave out life vests, there was no assistance in getting them correctly tightened. I'm so glad I'm extra cautious and that my daughter's was tight enough (the life vests offered by the other company we'd used were much more substantial, and they made sure everyone was properly in it, and specifically mentioned making sure to pull up on the shoulders to test tightness and the risks of slipping out of a life vest). We saw another group apparently run by a different company also going without guides in the boats, so its apparently not unique to this company (though I don't know if they had more in kayaks). Again, I just wish I knew this before I booked. Their website makes frequent reference to guides and safety. Two guides and that many rafts just isn't enough.

Loads of fun! Great guides and a little rain made it all the more thrilling. It takes a while to bus over so keep that in mind when planning. Ours whole trip was 1030-330pm roughly.

We stayed at the attached motel and decided to eat dinner here because it was convenient. We weren't expecting much but wow, I'm so glad we decided to give this place a chance! Everything was delicious across the board - bread, drinks, entrees and dessert. I was planning to get the pasta but ended up with the pork chop special and it was phenomenal - huge, juicy and packed with flavor. The service was friendly and about as good as it can get with only one waitress managing the whole dining room. The atmosphere is old school and cozy. Can't wait to try the pasta next time we're in town.

Service by Celia was outstanding. We had reservations with our ten month old for my birthday. When we showed up, our table already was set up with menus and a high chair. I had the ahi appetizer and one of the dinner specials (angel hair with scallops, mussels, and shrimp). Both dishes had plenty of flavor with different additions to that complemented each other. My boyfriend said the same about his veal dish. He was especially impressed with the flavors of the pepper appetizer. Dinner was finished off with a great chocolate cake dessert. Glad we got away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and were able to enjoy this place. Also, shoutout to the bartender for the after dessert drink. You were awesome as well! Will stay at the hotel and eat here next time we’re in the area!

This place was amazing. They got us in last minute without a reservation. Very accommodating. I would make a reservation next time. Food is delicious and many things are made in house. I didn't get a picture before I stirred up my Veal colognes peppardelle. But it was absolutely delicious and filling. You will not leave here hungry. Make sure you visit this Italian restaurant if you are near or in Jim Thorpe.

Came in town for a wedding from Florida and had no idea what to expect. The food was amazing and the portions blew our minds. Pork Calabrese was twice the size of my head. Don't sleep on dessert! The "chocolate love" cake is to die for. House made everything. Full bar and the wine was perfectly fine. We live 1100 miles away and want to come back. Bravo to whoever keeps this place running. 👏

A places where fun meets flavor. This restaurant has fresh, unique and creative Italian food and hand crafted cocktails. Everything from the salad dressings, to sauces, to desserts are all homemade! Hands down, thee best restaurant in the area.

First time I have eaten here..and is classified as fine dining. In one word..ok. Wife had a shrimp pasta dish..she said was decent. Friend had a pork tenderloin which was ok and the other friend had I think Rigatoni (cause they were out of veal) and barely touched it. Salad was good. I had the chicken parm. It was ok..seasoned and fried nicely but not much to it (very thin). Sauce was good...wasnt very keen on the pasta (a bit mushy and not much sauce)

Yes it's a small restaurant attached to a roadside motel, but man was the food amazing! Super tender filet and pork chop, silky smooth mashed potatoes, and even delicious bread. Heck the homemade lemonade was also super tasty! Highly recommended if food is your focus.
