    Average bar food in downtown Mercer, PA. Pros: friendly staff, decent, small town bar. Burger wasn't bad. Decent Reuben egg rolls. Cons: no real negatives, place was just average. Nothing knocked my socks off. Summary: I'd go back if I am looking for a burger in Mercer.

    I had a lovely dinner at J Hicks tonight. I wish I would have come sooner because it really was a treat. Everything we tried was excellent. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. The menu consists of a more rustic American pub-type fare. There were burgers, steaks, pasta, chops and sandwiches. I picked the New York Strip because who can pass up a juicy steak? And it was very juicy - perfectly cooked and from a local Mercer butcher. The fries were spectacular. I am picky about my fries and these were spot on. My appetizer was a sampling of nice crunchy wings with two homemade sauces. There a variety of sauces and heat levels but the Georgia Peach BBQ was perfect for me. It's nice to get out and eat again. You don't want to miss J Hicks for a nice drink or meal.

    I love the look...the brick walls, unique light fixtures and items highlighting the area. If you like craft beers this is definitely the place for you. During our visit we didn't try any but they certainly have a variety. Ciderboys Hard Cider Peach Country - if you like peaches you love this cider P. B. & J. Burger - burger with bacon, peanut butter and raspberry chipotle jelly. I love the combination of the peanut butter and jelly on the burger. And the jelly has just the right amount of zip. Oh and don't forget the hand cut fries! They were fresh and tasty. One of the unique items they make are the Mason jar desserts I had the Chocolate Covered Cherry Mason Jar Delight. Unfortunately this one wasn't a hit for me. It was a little dry, very sugary fake flavor and not much of a cherry taste. They are always offering new Mason jar dessert flavors so I would definitely like to go back and try another flavor as this one might just not have been a fit for me.

    PERFECTION That's…read moreexactly what was delivered with not just a meal so good you could cry from pure joy, but the entire experience as a whole. The whole thing was the most unique and best time I have ever experienced dining. The art decor, the music, the dish names, the staff, the pink tree house and frisbee golf outside, the random wu tang clan symbols. This is a memory I will never forget I wouldn't not recommend anything we got The Apps: The brie charcuterie board. That house made strawberry jalapeño jam. I wish they sold it by the jar. Naan bombs. Cajun perfection on the shrimp over the guac and pico with that balsamic glaze. Pork Cheek Tacos. FAT AS FUCK not skimping on filling with the meat. One of the best prepared meats I've ever had and arguably the best taco I've ever had DUCK FUCKING WONTONS. Wonton my ass it was more like a mini empanada but dear fucking lord. Bacon, duck and Swiss cheese stuffed in topped with a FRENCH ONION BROTH GLAZE. I want a party catered with just those. Absolutely stellar THE 32OZ RIBEYES First off $72 for it and it comes with three sides. 0% chance you're getting that from somewhere downtown under $100. AND no way you're getting it this fucking good. COOKED TO PERFECTION. Whatever rub is on that just call it the house crack. It nwas served over a bed of rosemary parm fries. They got soaked in the juices and made it like steroid poutine The side of jalapeño creamed corn. That I think was my second favorite bite there. Holy fucking hell. Desserts Chocolate Cake - Backend richness on the chocolate cake perfect Sweet Potato Pecan Pie - Extra spice on the made me feel like fall was hugging me The Coconut Cream Cheesecake - I want this for my birthday cake until I die Talbot. You are a character to say the least in the best way possible. You have something beautiful. I cannot wait to come back and spend every special occasion here

Currently, this restaurant takes reservations only over the telephone, not online. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The seating hostess and waitress served us promptly and politely. The menu listed foods such as wings, crab cakes, salads, sandwiches, bowls, pierogies, tacos, chicken marsala, and salmon and drinks such as wines, cocktails, mocktails, sakes, and beers. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Duck Wontons - 4.5 stars - Wontons contained bacon, duck, onions, garlic, Swiss cheese, and French onion broth. Very flavorful. Deviled Eggs - 4.5 stars - The deviled eggs were filled with avocado, bacon, and tomato slaw. Shoot the Breeze - 4.5 stars - This entree consisted of a 14-ounce ribeye with chimichurri, pickled red onions, potato gnocchi, and garlic alfredo. The ribeye was juicy. The gnocchi were nicely cooked. Chicken and Ribs - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this special of chicken breast, St. Louis ribs, potatoes, and corn on the cob. He said that the grilling gave a better taste and that he enjoyed the Korean BBQ sauce. You're Doing Great - 4.5 stars - This mocktail contained non-alcholic orange aperitivo, lemonade, cherry, cucumber, and soda. The total price for these five menu items plus a soda and tax was $110, plus a tip. After our meal, my husband and I explored the outside. The waitress said that the Yeti father is named Osirus, the mother is Sasha, and they have two children. We also saw a treehouse, teepee, picnic tables, games, and woods.

    Recommended by the KOA in Mercer, MBP turned out to be a diamond in the rough. Stopped in for a…read morelate dinner w best friend, Make a Left, no Right, I Think. Immediately felt at home. Very welcoming, cozy vibe. Menu was eclectic. Lots of great choices for appies and entrees. MaL,nR,IT had a chicken cheesesteak sandwich w a cup of French onion soup. He raved about it. Chunks of chicken, banana peppers, fried onions, and cheese on a sub roll. Naturally, he had to use a knife and fork. I had THE MOST AMAZING cheeseburger I've ever had... better than the old Mannions in Yonkers NY or Squires. 8 ounces of a blend of chuck, brisket, and "I forgot" on a grilled roll, with Swiss and fried onions. If you know me, I usually put ketchup on my ketchup. Not this time. My cb was naked, no ketchup needed. I savored EVERY DELECTABLE BITE!!! Michelle, our very excellent server, also gave us directions back to I-80 from the KOA, so I wouldn't need to rely on MaL,nR,IT in the morning. Extremely reasonable prices, amazing food, great service. I wish it was closer. We both agreed...5 stars

    Service was ok. Waitress came over to take order, deliver food, and give final bill. No in between…read morecheck ups. Food was nothing special. Burger was bland and cooked closer to rare than to medium. Bun was hard. French fries were those that the school sells. Philly steak was your typical chipped steak you get anywhere else. My daughter enjoyed her Kraft Mac and cheese kids meal. The kids grilled cheese was good as it was on sourdough bread toasted to perfection. The place doesn't really give you restaurant vibes but they were nice enough to put the Daytona 500 on for my husband.
