Stopped in because we are office fans. The gift shop and ambiance was definitely one of a kind. There are some Office themed spots, but also random other theme spots. Really just seems like they're using the office as a tourist attraction. The waiter was nice, but not very observant. The food... If I'm honest, that might have been the worst tasting crab soup I've ever had in my life... read more

Last time we were there, food was good as usual but I generally don't carry more than $100 cash. I RESENT having an upcharge for use of a credit card. I expect that in a vacation area but Scranton???? WILL NOT BE BACK until that changes. That's a cost of doing business. read more

What an interesting place! It's such a delight, full American culture, museum/seafood restaurant . It also pays homage to the beloved TV show that takes place here in Scranton, Pennsylvania called "the office. " So what are you waiting for your food and afterwards if you wanted to walk around you are welcome to see all the wonderful nostalgic treasures straight out of a antique store, or your quirky uncles international toothpaste collection.... Teehee My seafood dish (halibut) was delicious. We also got lobster, oysters, and alligator soup. Everything was a hit. Cheesecake was also delightful. I will definitely come back with a friend. read more

Traveling through Scranton and found this place. OMG amazing. Clam chowder was thick and delicious. The pretzel covered in crab meat and cheese was to die for. Bang bang shrimp was pretty good too. Although busy, we were seated right away and served immediately. Being a fan of The Office was a surprise as well. read more

We had a fantastic lunch at Cooper's Seafood House! Our server Demetrie was great and such an awesome atmosphere & very cool aesthetic decor! The woman's restroom is Elvis themed with his music playing in it! So many nostalgic relics & a Office gift shop too! It's like a mini museum of the screen area and nostalgic TV, video games & such! Don't forget to say HI, to Norm at the end of the bar! I had one of the BEST lobster rolls I've ever had & the fries were exceptionally delicious! Also definitely get the Maryland Crab soup, you won't be sorry! Pat had the crab cakes, another phenomenal plate! Not sure how all that crab meat held together, certainly no fillers in this bad boys!

Came here on an Office based self guided tour. Jumped on the waitlist quick and spent time exploring this unique space. You definitely won't be bored while waiting. My husband and I both got the crab cakes. They're a bit more like crab stuffing than cakes, but the flavor made up for it. Tartar sauce was really great. I got a baked potato with butter (probably about a pound of butter but at least they weren't stingy) and a house made peppercorn dressing. The food was overall quite good. Service was reallllllly slow. It was very busy but it took nearly 2 hours and that's just a lot. But it was still a good experience read more

Cooper's Seafood House - Seafood Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

When it comes to seafood in Scranton, Cooper's is hands down the best in the city. I was raised in nearby Dunmore, and on very special occasions my family would dine here (My dear Dad wasn't rolling in money). Their bar appears to have an amazing selection, and there are photos and paraphernalia everywhere, and I mean everywhere, so one can easily spend several hours perusing the walls and inspecting the innumerable photos and memorabilia of Scranton. There's even a picture of Bill and Hilary taken when they dined there, but please don't hold that against the restaurant. I suppose if one is seated in a booth, you can be romantic with someone, but there is significant hustle and bustle and such extensive visual and auditory stimulation that it may be difficult to gaze romantically into someone's eyes and have a quiet and intimate experience., but what do I know? Outdoor dining is an option, weather permitting, and they do accommodate private groups. Being a seafood establishment, figures of pirates abound, and on the rooftop sits a massive octopus which was constructed by an acquaintance of mine who currently resides in Lexington, Virginia. I've enjoyed a meal at Cooper's thrice in recent months whilst attending to family matters in Scranton, and would certainly return when I'm in the environs again. Don't expect this to be a cheap meal. Our tab for 2 people was between $50-60 for each of those meals, and we imbibed no alcoholic libation. The place is crowded most days of the week, however they seem to seat people efficiently and have adequate staff who for the most part are quite pleasant. That was certainly the case with our servers. In summary, if you want to treat yourself ( who doesn't?) or treat someone else, enjoy seafood or Americana, and are anywhere near Scranton, definitely do check out Cooper's! read more

Alright so where to begin this review. We had lunch here, I was not impressed with the food. Let me explain, we flew in from San Antonio, foodie capital of the world. I ordered a Yeungling which was flat and horrid. I felt like I was licking a wet dog. The perogies were good, the hot pretzels were good too. I ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich which was disappointing. The service was decent, place was crowded and after cleared out but refilled quick. I will say the food was the worse part of this pretty cool place. If you like "The Office" or anything from TV history this is a place to check out. read more

Cooper's Seafood House - Sitting behind the bar - Seafood Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

What an experience! This popular The Office fixture did not disappoint. Despite being a great tourist attraction and featuring an exceptional gift shop, Cooper's is first and foremost a seafood restaurant. Armed with two starving children and a huge appetite, we started our dinner with an appetizer of shark bites; Delectable bit sized pieces of Mako shark; teriyaki marinated, lightly breaded, golden fried, and served with honey mustard dipping sauce. Delicious! One kid said it wasted like chicken (it didn't) and I found it to have a more tunacentric flavor. Even included a novelty pin declaring me an "Official Shark Taster"! As for the main entrees, both kids opted for the Dino Nuggets off of the kid's menu. Served in a cardboard pirate ship, both my son and daughter declared them "the best nuggets I've ever had" and finished up every last bite of the crispy prehistoric nuggies along with all the fries. I opted for lighter fair; can't remember exactly what it was called and I can't find it on the menu, but it was some type of baked fish smothered in a cheese sauce and served piping hot. Delicious is an understatement! That, along with the two sides I opted for, more than filled me up. Still, it tasted so damn good it took everything in me not to order an encore. After dining and unbuttoning our pants, we went to check out the gift shop. I spent way too much money, but all three of us left with some really unique souvenirs. Reasonably priced and high quality, this is one of the finer gift shops I've visited during our road trip from Arkansas to Boston. If you're a fan of The Office, a fan of seafood, or even just "in the area", this is a must stop location. Cooper's lived up to all the hype and I'll definitely be stopping in again on my way home. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is sailor and sea faring oriented with a heavy accent on celebrity memorabilia. Even the restrooms have themed music piped in - Beatles in the men's room, and Elvis for the ladies. This place is HUGE!!! And filled with interesting collectibles. The menu leans toward fish and shellfish dishes. I had the Cheesy Haddock and chose a dinner salad (very good), and a baked potato as my two side dishes. The portion was very large, prepared well and served hot. The wife had the Seafood Crepes + shrimp, scallops, and lobster, and said it was good. We split a Rice Pudding dessert that was also a very generous portion, with plenty of whipped cream. After a couple limited distribution house cabernets and a Keoke coffee, we got the check which was for less than both of us guessed, an always welcome circumstance. Service was attentive and well executed. After dinner, we spent twenty minutes just checking out the many rooms filled with curios. This place has been around for 77 years, is kid friendly, has catering facilities, and is fun for everyone. A genuinely entertaining experience.. Also a great date place. read more

During past visits to Scranton, I have passed by and was curious, but never had the time. To celebrate a graduation, I finally had the opportunity to eat at Cooper's. The restaurant was busy on a Tuesday evening, but we were quickly seated on one of the outside decks. There are about three deck levels and all seem festive. The deck where we were seated had a bar, which was cool and also made it easy for our server to get our drinks quickly. Inside the restaurant, there is a gift shop that seems to pay homage to the television show, The Office. The ladies room is decked out with Elvis memorabilia and the speakers blast his hits lol. Moving on to the food, we ordered a few appetizers, which included shark bites, calamari, crab stuffed mushrooms, and the crab and cheese covered soft pretzel. The calamari was standard and could've used a teeny bit of seasoning, but the sauce helped it. The shark bites were fantastic and the mustard based sauce made them yummier. I used that sauce on the crab pretzel, because it was a little bland, but had a lot of crab and cheese on top which was a plus if it had some Old Bay seasoning or something to bring out the seafood flavors. The crab stuffed mushrooms were delicious but also could've used a little Old Bay. The only entrée that we had was shared and that was the seafood crepes. They were absolutely delicious, light weight and filled with shrimp and crab. The accompanying lobster sauce was scrumptious. I had the watermelon iced tea and my daughter had a strawberry daiquiri. The drinks were good and had a fair share of alcohol... No complaints! The servers were all great and had really good energy. Our server, Lily, was absolutely attentive and lovely! When I revisit, Cooper's will definitely be part of my plans. Also, the bill was reasonable, which made my day. read more

Another must visit place if in the Scranton area. The chowder soup is delicious. The rest of the food we ordered at-least was okay, but the soup was really good. This is another location that use to be a rail road station. The restaurant is huge and if you are dining indoors there is quite a collection of items that will keep you entertained on your way to your table or you can reserve it for after dinner. It was hard to keep my husband at the table. He was fascinated by the collection of items. I won't spoil the review by mentioning them, you will have to see for yourself. Servers were pleasant, restrooms in good order, and we didn't encounter any issues finding parking. We went for dinner on two separate nights. read more

I was out of town for work and was in the mood for seafood. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked into a full house but was lucky to find a seat at the bar. Tom was my bartender and he was going like speedy Gonzalez. I barely understood him because he was talking so fast lol but he got the job done. They have daily happy hours and today was $5 martinis so I ordered the Lemontini and it was good. Then for my entrée I got the shrimp scampi with linguini. It came with a side salad and boy was that salad huge. It was enough for a meal. When my meal came out it was soo good. The flavors were so good and it was just enough. The bill came to about $40. I will definitely return to try more. read more

Terrible service!! not our first time here the food is decent nothing to rave about but we figured we'd give it another try. Big mistake after waiting an hour and 20 minutes without ever receiving our food. We got up and left.. we are several times if we could have a status on her food the waiter was rude and dismissive. He basically said we're really busy. The kitchen is busy. However, three tables around us arrive 20 to 30 minutes after us they were all served and one table of five finished their meal and left, and we were still sitting there with nothing. The waiter never came by to check on us. He never apologized-offered us more drinks, nothing. Save your money go someplace else. This is just a tourist trap. read more

This light house restaurant is just as fun on the outside as it is on the inside. The walls are covered in such classic pics! Also has a "The Office" show gift shop. We went in for dinner and ordered from a specialty menu. I had the lobster parm with noodles and my boyfriend the steak. Both plates were 10/10. Our server was so kind and constantly checked in. We loved our experience so much we went back the next day for lunch. Now this time the restaurant had an Oktoberfest make over with live music. The Shark bites were fun to try and got better every bite. We ordered the brat and pretzels. We wish we could have tried everything on the menu. read more

We were visiting in town and invited friends to join us at Cooper's. I had the NE Clam chowder and Lobster Tail. both were fantastic. My wife and my friends each had the seafood platter which looked great. My wife gave me a sea scallop and a shrimp. Both tasted great. We enjoyed our dinners and decided to sit at the bar to watch the final game of the World Series since we all love baseball. We enjoyed our time together at the bar and the bartender who also loved baseball was very friendly and made for a great evening. A very enjoyable evening. read more

Amazing ambiance! The decor was different and interesting at every turn. Definitely worth walking around inside and seeing all the creative and fun things.

Awesome! So good. Took business associates to lunch and went back for dinner & drinks. Such a great place. Hope to return soon!

I have been going to Coopers for as long as I can remember. The food is reasonably priced. Fresh and always has a great taste ..

Extremely disappointed with the lack of flavors in the food. Started with the shark bites. Dry/over cooked with no seasoning. Had the all seafood dinner. This consists of 6 pieces of lump crab, 5 scallops & 6 small shrimp. Crab was tasteless, shrimp were overcooked and the scallops tasted like they were just heated. On the positive side the facility was very clean. The waitress was excellent. Extremely disappointed with food. Prices were high for what they offered. Once was enough. Won't be going back. read more

Great family restaurant. They have a ton of options for both seafood lovers and those who don't eat seafood as well. They have a wide selection of beer on draft and bottles. They also serve additional cocktails. They have a great selection of appetizers and entrees. As well as a delicious peanut butter pie. The kids menu is a little small so keep that in mind if you have a picky eater. It's also cool that they have a gift shop - including the office memorabilia. read more

While traveling through I saw this restaurant as I was heading out to look for a different restaurant.

The desk and entire area appeared abandoned. read more

A local favorite that includes the "Office" gift store. Good fish food and good service.

We had a great time here! There's a separate section of the restaurant dedicated to The Office paraphernalia. What's not to love? Lol I've never seen an episode in its entirety-- oops! But I went anyway and bought a couple things hahah Scranton needs its tourism $$ am I right? This restaurant though is a little town gem. Honestly, I think everyone was there that day and we loved it! Everyone was friendly, the staff was attentive, and the place is HUGE.... You can honestly get lost! Interestingly, the ladies' bathroom had Elvis decor which is pretty ironic. ( If you know, ya know what I'm talking about) Everything we ordered was solid-- the alfredo had scallops and shrimp! And it was creamy and garlicky just how I wanted it based on my cravings for the day. The lobster tail was paired nicely with the melted butter...ooh and the Creative cocktails yummm! The only complaint I have is that the pierogies were greasy. Personally, I like pierogies as -is; not sauteed with onions and peppers in a crap ton of oil. In any case, I would go back the next time I visit Scranton! read more

I understand this is a scranton, Pennsylvania classic so I had to give it a try. Overall kind of a cool atmosphere and bar however, the food was not so good. I ordered the fish and chips and it was over breaded salty and you could hardly taste any fish. I also had a cup of New England clam chowder, which was ok. This is a cool place to check out however, I would not return since the food was not the star of the show. read more
