    Happy Campers
    Bob B.

    New life would be an understatement to the reinvestment that's been made to everything here: golf course, outdoor catering pavilion, game areas (great for families/groups/kids), ice cream shack and the Tiki Hut out back. As a dog dad (2 Chocolate Labs) - this place is incredibly dog friendly. Staff happily supply bowls and ice water, and there's a healthy dog menu too. Food for people from a generous varied menu always solid, and well-priced. We'd love to see a bigger crowd for Yappy Hour. The grounds are meticulously maintained too.

    So I came back to Pa, and I wanted to have great food. I walked into the Foundation room as last year it was fabulous. As I sat down, was greeted right away by the server, I was given a menu in which was not the same as last year. After reviewed the very limited menu, I could not find anything I wanted to eat with the price point they wanted. The server was understandable, and did not charge me for the soda I did not touch. For all the raving good reviews I gave this place last April, I can not keep them as current. The cost of the food seems extremely high for area, let a lone a bar.

    Yesterday, my wife and I drove up to Allentown, PA (~60 miles one way) for the main reason of…read morehaving lunch at The Shelby! When we arrived and saw that they were in a shopping mall, we were thinking about looking for somewhere else.... Boy I'm SO GLAD that we didn't! We arrived around 12:30 and they were packed - we were able to get a table outside (bar and inside dining area were too noisy for us)! Our server, Ariana O. was great! My wife enjoyed her Flamingo Fandango drink ($ 14.50) with the Torta Ahogada ($18.95) - both were delicious but the sandwich was very messy - better eaten with a knife and fork - and absolutely delicious as were their French fries that she had! I ordered the Beef "Cubano" sandwich ($ 17.95) with a side of golden beets ($ 2.00 up charge) glazed with the same horseradish sauce that was on the sandwich (Ariana's recommendation). Both were wonderful and we shared tastes of each other's items! It was worth the drive up and the impending drive back!!! We also shared a Dark Chocolate Custard pie that featured an Oreo type of crust with whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate as a topping - it tasted wonderful but I felt a little on the small size for the $ 12.95 price! All things considered, I would make the drive again to go back to experience the other items on the menu but as was suggested, I would definitely make a reservation for lunch and definitely would for dinner! FYI: their menu is seasonal so you want to view it online before you go!

I was initially on the fence about it since its in a shopping mall surrounded by chain restaurants and a wax salon, but I figured if it looked bad inside there was a Smashburger nearby. How wrong I was! The inside is absolutely stunning, what a beautiful space. It took a while to be seated since it was a holiday weekend but when we did we had a beautiful view of an indoor sunroom. We got the potato pierogi to start, which was fantastic, and my dish was the tofu scramble (with fruit as a side). The scramble had a surprising sweetness that was not unpleasant and was quite a large portion. Our server was great but he had a very strong and vibrant personality - which I did not care for when I first sat down and was tired and hangry, but he was great and won me over at the end, haha. Anyway, try this place, its amazing and next time I am in Allentown I will be back for sure.

The…read morerestaurant was very modern and had a sophisticated flare to it while still staying family friendly. I started with the lobster roll bao buns. Creamy lobster on top of nori inside of a light and fluffy bun. It was a fun twist on a classic bite. For the main I ordered the wagyu burger. I ordered it rare and it was not the right call. The burger was so thick that it didn't get a great sear on the outside and was falling apart. I did hear a waitress recommend medium well due to the size and I would definitely suggest that to anyone who tries it. It had a great flavor so I would still recommend you try it. I also ordered the notch fried rice bowl. Chinese sausage, pork belly, peas, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, broccoli, egg, bean sprouts, togarashi spice, and topped with a dippy egg. This dish was savory, Asian fusion cuisine mixed with something that felt like comfort food. If you go here, this is what I would recommend you try, but their whole menu looked incredible. This is a spot you need to add to your list of places to check out.

They do a great job creating a tropical, laid-back atmosphere, with a tiki bar and a nice outdoor deck that really adds to the vibe. The beers and drinks tend to be on the lighter, fruitier side. There weren't any IPAs on tap during our visit, so if you're an IPA fan, the selection may be a little limited depending on the day. There was a food truck on-site, and we ordered sandwiches. Unfortunately, the food truck service took forever, and the sandwiches weren't exactly worthy of taking a picture of. Definitely not the highlight of the visit. There was also a band playing inside the bar area, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, you couldn't really hear the music outside, so if you're sitting on the deck or in the yard, you wouldn't know there was live music happening inside. One thing I really liked is that the place is very family- and dog-friendly. Dogs are welcome throughout the yard, grassy areas, and even on the deck, which is a big plus for us. The family atmosphere is nice, although there were quite a few kids running around, jumping in the creek and throwing rocks, with what seemed like little to no parental supervision while they were in the water. That may be something to keep in mind depending on what kind of atmosphere you're looking for. Overall, it's a nice spot to grab a drink, hang outside, bring your dog, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The tropical outdoor setting is definitely the biggest draw. We'd come back for the atmosphere and drinks, but probably wouldn't make the trip specifically for the food.
