Alaska Pete's is one of the most popular restaurants in the Poconos. Tonight we had a nice dinner with friendly service. The fettuccine with chicken and shrimp was very good; but I would have liked a little more shrimp. The burger that my friend had was really tasty. The chicken wings were gobbled up quickly. If you like seafood; I have had the Captains Platter in the past and it was delicious, but expensive. So if you're looking to spend a little extra money for unique decor and good quality food, then I can highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Another visit, special acknowledgement to our server Ari and Stacy, Stacy who was being trained couldn't find a better trainer, Ari was attentive, polite and very friendly. He and Stacy made sure my family were well taken care of. He is an asset to the establishment and should be acknowledged as such so tonight I tried the chicken Francese tonight and I must say it was delicious. My daughter had the Red snapper which she said was delicious, wifey loved the Philly cheesesteak and my grandson loved the kids spaghetti and meatball and the nephew loved his kids cheeseburger. Again if you're in the Pocono area, Marshall Creek definitely stop at Alaska 's Pete. read more

When in town, this is a must stop restaurant! I love coming to eat there! We were greeted as soon as we walked in & seated! The host noticed we hadn't been approached by a waiter yet & got someone right to our table. Our waitress "Karen" who let us know she wasn't really a "karen" LOL was absolutely great!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love their different decor throughout the well lit restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious just the sides could of been more hotter. read more

We've been here a few times and by sheer luck we've always managed to get Josh as our server. We just went again yesterday, it was slightly breezy but we had a little dog and two little kids with us, so we sat outside. Josh was prompt, friendly, accommodating and a total professional. I hope more people find this great spot, it's great for locals or anyone passing through. Portions are great, and the food is always made fresh. Will continue to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has so much space!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check it out and I hope you get Josh as your server. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was great. We ordered a little of everything Would definitely back.

Food was horrible. We got a hamburger (tasted horrible), the Mac and cheese (extremely dry), pulled pork sandwich (not good at all) and a kids meal. They only thing that was good was the fries, the soda and waitress that served us. We will definitely never return here and won't recommend it to anyone. read more

Thank you Alyvia (sp)for your amazing charming service we really enjoyed talking to you. Your recommendations killed us in the best way. We had the brisket and rack of ribs. Divine. All the sides are fresh and sauces made in house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I worked a long freezing day and wanted a cozy log cabin-like place and this was THE PLACE.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]we sat by the fire and had amazing wooden chairs and table just making the ambience perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You would think it was gimmicky but it's truly not! [[HIGHLIGHT]]this is a very wonderful mountain style dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Highly recommend for anyone staying in Poconos or those who want that richly warn atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is pretty extensive but not in an annoying way. Can't wait to come back. read more

We went here for lunch yesterday. I ordered cheese steak along with my wife. Our daughter ordered linguine. I will say the food was decent, not amazing, not bad, but sufficient. The fries I thought were very good. Service was alright, waitress did not come too often and did not disappear. So, service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We asked to eat outside because it was nice out. They placed us close to the door which was a huge wind tunnel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So, this is where the issues arise. The waitress told us to hold on to everything because the wind. Well if you know that's an issue why not place us in areas the wind was not bad. There was not many people outside so there were plenty spaces outside of the wind tunnel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another issue was the construction from the quarry across the street blew sand and dust as the heavy equipment drove and moved rock.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The final issue was the price. These were vacation area Poconos prices. Definitely did not match the food. You can go around the corner to get the same meal which I believe is better cheaper. So I explained what we ate along with drinks and a dessert of tiramisu that was shared and our price was well over $100 with military discount. read more

Food excellent. Waitress was the best. Great service. I had beef brisket dinner. So tender.

Went with a few people. Food was solid. Stuffed flounder looked dry, but had good flavor. Sandwiches were ful

Highly disappointed in this restaurant as it's definitely gone downhill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went for dinner and when we walked in, almost all of the indoor tables were empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were sat and the order was taken. First, they were out of cheese for French onion soup. They offered to make it with American instead . They were also out of lobster bisque and a few other menu items. We started with an order of appetizers and after a 45min wait, our appetizers were not out yet. The waitress kept saying "I think they're coming soon". By then, all tables around us had been sat and had their food!!! We flagged down the waitress and told her to cancel our order because it was not acceptable to wait that long. We had ordered sodas when we sat, which were still over half full(we had waters too) The waitress brings over the check for the sodas. The manager did come over and apologize and didn't charge us for the soda. We used to love this restaurant but the last few times it's been the same song and dance with slow service and out of menu items. read more

Visited Alaska Pete's for dinner once we had arrived in the Poconos. Unfortunately there are not many places open late as we had arrived in the area a little after 8 that evening. We were quickly seated in a roomy booth inside. We ordered some appetizers-- the nachos and the calamari. Thankfully our waiter suggested to order 2 appetizers for our party of 6 and thankful for that suggestion as we demolished those apps! The long drive got us hungry! For entrees, we all ordered different items. I chose my favorite sandwich, the corned beef Reuben and it came with a side of fries and of course some extra thousand island dressing on the side. Loved it and it was the right portion size for me! Our group had also ordered the salmon, cheesesteak, stuffed flounder, and chicken wings. Everything tasted great and with leftovers that we took back with us! This is def one of my fave places to go while in the Poconos. read more

As a southerner who moved to the mountains. I was instantly drawn to their Southern Pride BBQ selection. I finally got the opportunity to join a party of people yesterday who also wanted to explore Alaska Pete's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a rainy night so we had to be relocated to another table because the ceiling was dripping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Though, the hostess did not want to relocate us at first. She changed her mind eventually and set us up nicely in another area. Our waitress was the bomb!! I wish I could remember her name, but she was working last night Feb 16 at 5:00 for the Hamilton family! I ordered a margarita, nachos, and the pulled pork bbq sandwich. The margarita was delicious, nachos were blah, but the pulled pork sandwich was delightful! Added my coleslaw on top and I almost felt like I was back home! Will definitely be returning! read more

Alaska Pete's has excellent outdoor seating with some wonderful ambiance -- but that's all you're going to get. Although our service person, Carter, was amazing, the meal (like everyone else's at my table) was bland. My mahi mahi was overcooked and came with a scoop of potatoes as if I had been on a school lunch line. The drinks were also "okay". I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you planned on sitting outside and drinking from a bottle. read more

Alaska Pete's - Over-cooked Mahi Mahi with blah potatoes but decent string beans. - Seafood Near Me - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Let me start by saying this is a very beautiful, clean, cheery and well lit restaurant. It's spacious with plenty of room between tables. The bathrooms were clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The staff were very, very friendly and attentive. Even the bus-boy clearing the table asked if we were enjoying ourselves. So now......here's the scoop.....This restaurant needs to make an appointment with a psychotherapist because it truly has an identity problem. It can't really figure out what kind of restaurant it wants to be. The menu is all over the place. Is it a steak house? An Italian restaurant? BBQ joint? Fish house? Or a Pub? It's not sure and neither was I. We came for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some tables were served water in plastic disposable cups. Some tables got glassware. The napkins were paper. (If you are going to spend $40 for a steak you should have a real drinking glass and cloth napkin)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a live piano player playing lovely songs and then dozens of televisions playing different programs on every wall. It was just confusing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now the food....it was ok. We ordered the "famous chicken wings". They were large, but nothing special. Tasted like wings with "Franks Red Hot" sauce on it. The Chicken Sizzler came out steaming hot. The chicken was bland, the peppers and onions were good. The BBQ Brisket was fatty, sweet, and rich. It was a small portion, not worth the price. The cole slaw reminded me of supermarket store bought coleslaw. Now the fries, I disliked them. To me, they were soggy and not cooked enough. My wife, she liked them a bit more than I did. I think the prices were way too high, the meal was expensive and I didn't feel the value was there. I won't make a special trip back here but if friends invited me to meet them there I wouldn't avoid it. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here. They were busy with graduation families and told us service was slower than normal. They kept us informed and it wasn't a bad wait at all. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I had the steamed clams and a salad. Very tasty! Husband had the fish sandwich. This place is huge and they added a beautiful outdoor space with bar. It must be crazy when it's busy!! read more

My friend and I traveled 2 1/2 hours from New York with our small dogs, and since we couldn't check into our lodge until 4 PM, we hadn't eaten all day. We read online that the restaurant was dog-friendly, so we decided to stop by. Our dogs were in strollers. When we walked in, the server, Joe, stared at us as if we were out of place and asked, "What is this?" while pointing at the dogs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I mentioned that I had read online that the restaurant was dog-friendly, and he replied, "Outside only," which was fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I then asked if we could sit outside, to which he responded in an annoyed tone, laughing, "Yeah, no, I'm not putting my server out in this weather." It felt rude. We would've just ordered take out and ate in the car if he wasn't so unwelcoming. We ended up going to Derailed Taphouse and I'm glad we did. read more

Alaskan flair in the Poconos! My husband and I stopped by Alaska Pete's after a long day of summer activities. We were served quickly by Krystal who was a pleasure! She seemed to predict our needs (could it have been our damp, ruddy appearance from a long day in the heat and sun?) and kept the cold drinks coming! We ordered a calamari and a naan flatbread app. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the dipping sauce was delicious. The naan was smothered generously in both sauce and mozzarella cheese. While I'm a firm believer that anything smothered with sauce and cheese is delicious, it was not a grocery store freezer item! The naan bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and also chewy with a hint of sweetness. My husband ordered baked salmon with a baked potato and steamed corn on the cob. The salmon was flaky yet juicy on his fork and the baked potato arrived steaming hot in a foil jacket. He devoured fish and potato in seemingly seconds! Last, he exclaimed, "I always forget how much I love corn on the cob with a hint of salt in the summertime!" After the apps, I was looking for something light. So, I requested tortilla chips and sauce with some sour cream. They accommodated this off-item menu without a fuss at a reasonable price. Perfectly salty and crispy tortilla chips! Thank you Krystal and Alaska Pete's for a refreshing dinner experience following a sweltering, steamy day of fun in the Poconos! read more

I have been driving by Alaska Pete's for 15 years while my family camps in the area. This year, my 21 year old son and I decided to give it a try. We went at around 8 PM this past Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside, which had some nice ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both ordered a drink, with my order being a stoli dirty martini with three olives. What arrived was a regular martini. I informed the server that the drink was not what I ordered, and her solution was to bring me a shot glass of olive juice. At $13 a drink, it should have been remade to what was ordered. I asked for recommendations for dinner and was told the Captains Platter is popular. Listed as "A House Favorite" Delicious Lobster Tail, Shrimp, Scallops and Fresh Fish with Lemon Butter for $39. My son ordered a "Special," which was a one pound New York Strip for $45. First the Captains platter. Two small scallops, five medium shrimp, a decent sized lobster tail, and the smallest piece of fish I have ever seen. It was about the size of three quarters put together. For a side, I ordered a corn, which seemed like it was previously frozen. No flavor on any of the seafood at all. It all tasted bland bland bland. I had to drench everything in butter to get some flavor. My son's dinner was similar, with no seasoning on the steak and a cafeteria style scoop of mashed potatoes. String beans were fine. Maybe the chef previously worked at an assisted living facility where they needed to serve bland food in small portions, but whoever own's Alaska Pete's should taste the food and see what is coming out of the kitchen. I received the bill and paid. Upon walking out, I glanced at the bill and saw that my son's $45 steak was billed at $52. How many innocent diners paid more than what was listed on the menu? I went back to my server. She had to refund my initial payment and recharge me the correct payment. I was charged for a different steak. I spent over $110 for two dinners and two drinks for meals that were not that good. One time at Alaska Pete's in 15 years was one time too many for us. read more

Stopped in because we were in the area and so glad we did!

The 3 start seems to be correct. We didn't really like anything. After telling the waitress that our calamari was bland, she offered to exchange it which was nice, but when she saw that we only ate half of it and complained about it you would expect a discount on it. I wouldn't go back Sorry read more

Not worth a second visit. We went while my step daughter was getting a tattoo in Pennsylvania and I thought the prices were a little outrageous. That's coming from a New Yorker. The cheeseburger with a fried egg on top was $20. Which is the most expensive burger I've seen to date and one with quality and flavor that did not exceed others that beat its price. It's a tourist trap for sure. Designed to bring you in with it's Christmas like decor and suck your wallet dry with a low quality dining experience. I regret going no more than half way into the experience. We should've left when the menus came out. read more

The ratings for this restaurant are all over the place. The atmosphere is great. Inside and outside are very nice. I sat at the outdoor bar. It was a great day to be outside. The vibe was great and everyone was amazing to me from the moment I walked in. The bartender outside was working hard and glad to have conversation which made the experience even better. I ordered a burger. I see some people complaining about prices but I thought $12 was more than fair for a hamburger. It came exactly as I ordered it, medium rare. The fries were good and not soggy. I don't get the people nit picking over silly things. Times are hard, even harder for the restaurant industry. I'm spite of supply chain problems, increasing prices, difficulty finding employees I had a nice experience. read more

It was full on snowing out and we sat by the fireplace and felt cozy and warm. Perfect atmosphere. Our server was excellent. I wish I remembered her name.

The last time we ate at this restaurant was during the summer of 2018. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the live band was amazing and we enjoyed dining outdoors, the food was disappointing, which kept us from returning--until now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today, we decided to give it another chance and had dinner at Alaska P. I'm so glad we did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe inside was incredible, the Piano Man added the perfect touch to the atmosphere, and our waitress Silva was absolutely amazing--super nice and very attentive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the food? Absolutely delicious! I don't know what changed, but this visit completely turned things around for us. We'll definitely be back! read more

18 dollars for bacon cheeseburger that came out with wilted lettuce and tomato and McDonald burger was thicker and not cooked to requested temperature. Would not go back .. read more

Beautiful restaurant inside & out on the huge patio. Friendly staff. But most of the food was mediocre. The calamari app was good, but the $40 ribeye was overdone, and the $40 BBQ sampler plate was lukewarm and way too saucy (couldn't taste the meat). Soda was flat and drinks barely had any ice so they were warm. Service was incredibly slow on a Tuesday at 6:30pm when capacity was about 20%. I know it's not entirely the restaurants' faults because the government wrecked them during the lockdowns and now with inflation, but it's still frustrating. The menu is huge -- maybe cut 50% of the dishes and focus on making the rest great. read more

We should have paid attention to the other reviews as they were pretty spot on. We went there early afternoon on Mother's Day and the restaurant was barely 1/3 full. The waiter came to our table fairly quickly but the service went downhill from there. It took 50 minutes to receive two dishes. The food was good but the portion sizes were extremely small for the price we paid. Way overpriced!! The waiter told us a few times that the kitchen was backed up, which was unbelievable. I would hate to see the service with all the tables full! Unfortunately, we won't be back read more

We decided to try this on our way home from a visit to the Poconos. None of the food was especially delicious. The burgers were juicy but lacked any real noticeable flavor. My wife ordered the lobster tail meal and the lobster was tough, not tender as it should be. A friend ordered the lobster bisque and it tasted like tomato soup. She asked the waitress to take it back and give her fries instead. The fries were the best thing we ate there. My son's stuffed flounder had a a nice flavor and he enjoyed it. The service was good and prompt. We were disappointed in the food especially for the price that we paid. I don't believe we will be returning to Alaska Pete's again. read more

I stopped at this restaurant for lunch because I was super hungry. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked in to the outdoor seating area and chose to sit there. Vanya was my server and she was very nice. For my meal I got the cod special and they made it a sandwich which I was so appreciative of. I also ordered the clam appetizer and it tasted soo good. I also enjoyed the cod and french fries. The bill was affordable and I enjoyedy time. read more

My wife and I ate at this restaurant last Saturday and everything we ordered was bad. We ordered the blooming onion as an appetizer and it came out like one giant deep fried onion. It was just one big blob and was under cooked. The shrimp dinner we ordered was also under cooked. The shrimp had a very thick batter coating on them and was like eating raw batter on the inside. The French fries were hard and dried out and so was my wife's baked potato. The only thing we ate was the salad. I almost never say anything but this time I did. I have eaten at this restaurant in the past and the food was good not sure what happened! read more

Didn't know if I should have written a review before or not but I guess I have to. Tuesday isn't exactly a restaurant day but how do you screw up a burger. I mean it was barely edible. My daughter flat out refused to eat hers that is how dry it was. A lot of but a little meat, so in the immortal words of Dave Thomas: "Where is the Beef?". If it wasn't for the service I would have given this 1*. read more

I wouldn't usually stop by a place that's rated low like this but I was very hungry. The general consensus in terms of rating on this place seems to be about the same. Nice location with nice views, a lot of space. Now for what I didn't like about it. All together the group ordered the ribs, their burger and grilled chicken. Everything was blah, burger was asked for medium well, they gave it well done and it was super dry. Ribs were ok not very tasty, the grill chicken was bland. It is the first time I saw and tasted white corn though (yes that's actually a thing) but again why not yellow lol Also they only have bottled water no glasses like conventional places. Good service but me thinks not 2 stars read more

PROS: This place blew my mind! the atmosphere was nature bound and the staff was great! Our waitress, Katie, took care of us and split all the checks for a party of 9. The food was amazing and normally priced. CONS: The service was slow in the beginning. We waited 20 minutes before giving our orders and the appetizers took another 20 minutes and there was hardly a crowd. OVERALL: If you do go there with a large crowd just ask for Katie, she was really good read more
