Marty's seems to have been a firm family favorite and suggestion to others for....well, since I can remember. Seems like they've been open since the mid-80's, circa my start date as well. I can't really say it's a 'hidden gem' because it's notoriously mentioned in many circles as the "have you ever been to THIS place??" place, but people usually answer YES, with wide eyes and a few memorable dish notes. We went for a mid-week date night, and there was a constant flow of seemingly satisfied diners. The ambiance was warm and cozy, not too dimly lit but very deliberately paced with the huge portions they offer; the service was top-notch, friendly and knowledgeable, always checking back at the right times and knowing what we would need as guests. We ordered several of their suggestions with no reservations, and they delivered. My fiance still talks about that apple cider margarita and it's firmly on the list of not-too-hard-to-make restaurant favorites we roll out for our guests at home. The stuffed mushrooms had a ton of crab meat and far less breading than most, without being saturated or too heavy to start the meal. The salads are certainly slept on; neatly arranged but never the star when pitted up against their hearty steak or cajun offerings, their house salads are hard to beat, unless you're paying up for a meal-type salad. As good as those two items were, the scallops I had with their cracker-encrusted light breading were the epitome of simple, sauteed, buttery-by-nature seafood; they were the best version of scallops like that I've ever had. And the dessert...just perfect for so many reasons; crispy and gooey caramelized bananas, a good amount of vanilla ice cream and the best cinnamony syrup sauce that I couldn't stop lapping up. Really, a fantastic experience, we'll be back! read more

Fantastic great steaks and great chicken wings and salads ,pizza too. Service is good but they only allow a certain time per party read more

Tried calling to make a reservation for days now and no one ever answers. Decided to go tonight at 5pm, right when they opened to see if we were able to get a table for two. The woman was incredibly rude. She basically said if we didn't have a reservation then tough luck. Definitely won't be back. I don't take rudeness lightly. I won't recommend this place to anyone I know. Also, it's not a great looking place. I expected something nicer/more upscale for the prices they charge. It's very basic and boring. They need to do better in every way. From staff attitudes to decor. read more

First time trying and was amazed by how tender the steaks were. I had a medium well filet and my husband had a medium prime rib with the cajun cream crawfish. Both steaks were extremely tender and delicious. We both weren't crazy about the Cajun sauce. I had mild he had hot, but both agree it just takes the flavor away from the great steaks they offer as it is over powering. Not bad just not our style. I will for sure go back and order without the cajun sauce. The mashed potatoes are good. The Cajun pasta I expected to be creamy but it was just butter mixed with cajun seasoning, no cream so I wouldn't order that again. read more

Food was amazing. Service was great and atmosphere was nice but the appetizers are to die for.

Visiting some friends and had one night to feast. My buddy is a Marty's regular and has been sending photos for years so of course we had to try it. Felt like a family affair from the moment we stepped inside and it was incredible. Started with the gumbo and also had a taste of the rattlers and crab stuffed mushrooms, both of which were divine. The KC strip was cooked to perfection and this Californian says Marty's has the best coleslaw I've ever tasted. Despite being absolutely stuffed, had to try the bananas foster for dessert, which was also incredible. Kudos to Marty's for helping to make my trip to NEPA a memorable one! read more

Great service food is amazing! You will not be sad after any meal here at Marty's ! Prime rib heaven!

The best steaks you will ever have and the service was amazing. You can't go wrong with their food.

No ambiance. Paper napkins. Upscale food but not upscale dining. This establishment has not improved the atmosphere in many years.

I'm a steak and potatoes kinda gal and after hearing rave reviews about Marty's steaks, we FINALLY booked a reservation (highly recommended) and had a date night on a Friday evening. We came in through the bar and walked back to the small dining room. This place was nothing like I expected....the best steaks in a "divey" bar??!! Yes folks, it's true!!!!! They had some very festive Christmas decorations up but décor is minor. We were sat at a booth near the back and our server came over to take our drink order and give us menus. The raspberry mule was so good --sweet but not too sweet. I ordered the prime rib with crab on top and hubby ordered chicken parm. We also had the cheesy garlic bread as an appetizer. My prime rib came out perfectly cooked with giant chunks of crab on top. The baked potato had crispy, salty skin (my fave) while being tender and warm on the inside. Butter and sour cream were my toppings of choice and man, my mouth is watering typing this while thinking of all this food all over again!!! I took half of my steak home since I REALLY wanted to try the Bananas Foster -- it's my favorite and you don't find it much in this area. The server told me I could get a half order so yep--I went for it....bloated, full tummy and all. And I wasn't sorry. It was the best darn thing I've put in my mouth in a long time! I couldn't stop eating it....my only complaint is that there should've been MORE sauce on it!!! That stuff is AMAZING!!!! Oh wait, I almost forgot -- hubby really enjoyed his chicken parm and even commented on how good it was and how it was one of the best he's had. Food is FANTASTIC, service is good and prices are reasonable. What the heck are you waiting for?! read more

This spot truly was a surprise. First of all, when you see the place it doesn't exactly make you think of quality food well prepared. It seems more like a local hangout for burgers and some beers. It's located in a residential neighborhood of Nantcoke and in fact there were a few locals hanging out and having a few beers. The dining area has both booths and tables and the decor is reminiscent of the early 1980s. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. Ok, so my wife ordered the Regular Cut Prime Rib and I ordered the Lamb Shank off the specials menu. I was blown away by the quality of the food. My lamb shank was absolutely fantastic over properly prepared mashed potatoes. It truly was delicious. My wife let me taste her prime rib and it was extremely tender with just the right amount of fat and a prefect medium rare. As for desert, we were debating on the Bananas Foster or the Cupcake. We had heard that their desserts are extremely large and decided on the cupcake because we could take it home. WOW. Just WOW. This chocolate and peanut butter cupcake was massive and actually quite good. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice meal. read more

We heard a lot of good things about this place over the years and finally decided to give it a try. All in all, a very pleasant experience. It's very unassuming from the outside, with the inside sporting a 60's era long bar in the front with a 12 table/booth seating area in the back...all very cozy and quaint. As for out entrees, we had the Chicken Piccata and DelMonico Steak. Both were delicious and the portions were huge! The steak was very tender and fresh, as all meats are cut fresh on site. They give you two sides with each entree, mine being the baked Potatoe and oven roasted corn. The waitress was very professional and attentive, with other servers chipping in as needed. They do need to update their online menus as they are very outdated. The menu on Yelp lists the Delmonico at $30 and it was actually $45. The Chicken listed at $18, actually $30. It was a bit of a surprise for us as we based our visit partly on the menu prices. Our total bill came to $82, with no drinks or dessert. A little pricey but well worth it. Reservations are recommended. read more

We have been going here for over 20 yrs Havent been there in awhile and we decided to eat there for our anniversary I have never had such expensive horrible food in my life Idk what happened to this place but it is overpriced and the food wasnt edible We will never go back there It is so boring also I mean put some color in the place Something on the tables Upgrade the place It took and hour and a half to eat our dinner and we got there early But the service was good read more

Where's the 6th Star? I need 6 Stars for Marty's! Serious, the food and the service are that good. Very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. My bone-in ribeye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bananas foster dessert was excellent. Small wine list, but very reasonably priced. Best Steakhouse in NEPA! read more

Good steakhouse never disappoints just bring your wallet a little pricey which I don't mind because the food is excellent.

Doesn't look like much from the outside, street parking only but it's not hard to find a close space. Good beer selection with some local craft beers. Food was solid, got the 20oz NY strip special which was cooked properly and tasted great. I was able to get a spot at the bar, but most people seemed to have reservations. read more

Marty's Blue Room - 20oz NY strip with carrots and cheesy mashed potatoes. - New American Near Me - Nanticoke, Pennsylvania

This was an outstanding dining experience in a totally unassuming location - the type of hidden gem you'd stumble upon in a big city, but is in a neighborhood in a random Pennsylvania small town. Fine dining quality food in a no-frills, unpretentious, comfortable dining room with great service. Started with the cajun shrimp. It was different than what I was expecting when it was brought out, but it ended up being delicious - that was my first indication that they really know what they're doing here. Side salad was gigantic and fresh. Also got a side of Jambalaya and it was very flavorful. 26 oz KC Strip absolutely stole the show. I've been to some pretty famous steakhouses like Peter Luger and Keen's in NYC, Piccolo Pete's in Omaha (when it was open), John Howie in Seattle and a few places in Vegas. Even at these places, Ordering "Medium Rare" is usually too red and "Medium" is overcooked. Here, I blurted out "Uhh, medium, medium rare?" when asked, and the steak came out to perfection. I ended up eating the entire thing. I wish I had taken a picture - there are so few restaurants that can temp a steak as well as here, and it's not even a steakhouse! My only knock is I wish their selection of scotch and bourbon was a little more broad. Nothing crazy but a few special bottles would have been appropriate and a nice touch. I left feeling very satisfied. Restaurants like this are a dying breed.. If you liked my description and you haven't been yet, go. read more

1. Service - really friendly and professional service. It's my first time here, and I felt as if I was their regular customer. 2. Price - I think my filet mignon was about $22 for 5oz. Very reasonable. Steaks can be as high as $56 a piece depending on what you may order. 3. Ambiance - it's a house converted into a restaurant, but don't let the outside fool you. Once you're inside, it looks nothing like a house. This is a hidden gem in Nanticoke! 4. Food - delicious, if I ever have to come back to this town, I would surely come back here again. My filet mignon came with a salad, and two slices of bread. Not a hungry man meal, but just as expected, a light dinner. If hungry, go for the 36oz Cattlemen's Cut Delmonico! 5. Cleanliness - very clean. read more

Wow and Just Wow. It's on the upper price side of Restaurants. Believe me you won't be disappointed and You will be WOW'ed We loved our dinners. We could have shared the one entrée And an appetizer due to the large portions, but we wanted to try many items and we took a lot of food home. read more

We are visiting the area and decided to order a large takeout order from a fancy local restaurant to celebrate my inlaws anniversary. We had a wide selection of 8 entrees and several appetizers. The food was good not great for the amount we paid. The service was very disappointing. The woman on the phone acted like we were bothering her by ordering so much food. Sorry we wanted to give you so much of our money, lady. read more

Food, service and ambiance were amazing!!! Can't post enough about the food. Had the prime rib (delicious). The Cajun shrimp appetizer was amazing!!! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

A little place tucked away in a more residential part of Nanticoke/Sheatown, PA, this is another one of those circumstances where you should NOT judge a book by its cover! Marty's is casual restaurant with a handful of booths and tables with an amazing Cajun-inspired menu. Now, by all means, I wouldn't go here for Cajun food but the steaks and seafood are phenomenal. The atmosphere was relatively quiet and the service was excellent. I had the shrimp bisque as my app. It came to the table piping hot. It was truly some of the best I've ever had. A little pricey for what you get at $7 but well worth a try. I would not only recommend it but I would also gladly hand over another $7 for another crock of it! I ordered the seafood sampler with Cajun mashed and garlic bread as my entree. The seafood was incredibly fresh and broiled perfectly. It came with scallops, shrimp, blackened haddock and a home made crab cake that made me feel I was somewhere closer to the inner harbor of Baltimore! Had Bananas Foster for desert. While it, too, was pretty good it was enough for two or maybe even three. I was told all of the deserts come that way. Be careful when ordering desert! They are shareable sized (and priced) portions. Again, well worth it and I would gladly do it again - just a cautionary word to the wise... Yes! It's NOT cheap! But, the quality and the portions are off the charts and make it so worth it. Large expansive menu to satisfy most carnivores and seafood lovers. I will most definitely be back again! read more

Food here was good staff was attentive price was high for grade of food being served. This was not premium grade like wagyu or kobe yet priced like it was. That is why I gave only 3 stars. That being said food was prepared very well and tasty. Very casual setting. read more

Very disappointed. Heard so many good things about this place. Soup was flavorless, fries were soggy, and did not get what I paid for with my Filet. Especially when others in my party got the 5oz filet and crab cake and it was a lot thicker and bigger. Crab cake was dry. But the salad was good and the bruschetta wasn't bad. First time having cooked bruschetta with broccoli (more like white pizza) but still tasty. I won't be going back. read more

Marty's Blue Room - Definitely not a 5 oz filet migon. I understand it's before the cook but filet does not shrink that much. - New American Near Me - Nanticoke, Pennsylvania

Love the menu choices!! Big portions. It's always worth the trip! I often go there for special occasions.

Great place to have a nice meal at. Garlic bread with melted cheese is a great way to start off your night. Ask for a side of marinara sauce, it's great to dip the bread in. Wine by the bottle, beats paying for the glass. Filet Mignon was so tender and well prepared. I added a lobster tail, that was decorous. The sides are all generous. Salads are not only beautiful but very tasty. The baby carrots with the glaze on top was just perfection. Dessert, = heaven! The banana foster, is enough to share. And it's well worth the extra day at the gym this week. Perfectly golden and the ice cream is just the perfect topping for a delicious dessert. Place is nice and clean. Attentive staff. Very knowledgable and willing to answer any question. Would come back, and would recommend. read more

Fantastic steaks and food overall. Quality and quantity are both abundant. We loved the Porterhouse, 10 oz. Filet mignon, Cajun chicken pasta and mashed potatoes. Salads were fresh and large, and the tomato bisque was outstanding. Prices are somewhat high, but deservedly so. Server was friendly and thorough, attentive enough but not overbearing. The atmosphere is casual but cramped. There is little room to move, and the booths are tall and uncomfortable. Definitely make a reservation, especially on weekends. It is tiny. Parking is also tight or out on the street. A fabulous hidden gem, we highly recommend you try it! read more

The only place in Northeast PA that can temp a steak. There's not much to complain about. You'll need reservations on most nights because the food is amazing. Parking isn't great. It's not cheap, but it is high on value. If you've never been; pick up the phone, get a reservation and enjoy. read more

This place has the best food. From steak to seafood. The staff is awesome too. You must try it. I will be back soon.

Finally got to take my son here as he has been hearing great things. Once again, a meal that was superb. Pricey, but very good. We never walk out of here with a bill under $200, and that was for 3 of us!! But, as a treat, the food is excellent. We had fillet and crab cake, chicken cordon blue and rib eye. French onion soup for an appetizer. Now I consider myself to be a French onion soup and I would give theirs a 4 out of 5. It wasn't the best, but it was pretty good. The salads are excellent and the entrees are just wonderful!! Highly recommend Marty's for special occasions when you can open the wallet a tad. read more

As much as I am a fan of Marty's Blue Room, I was on the fence between a 3 or 4 star rating. But, since I'm in a good mood, it gets a 4. Here are some pros and cons. Portion sizes are gigantic. Almost too big at times, you seriously get your money's worth. Dinner entrees come with 2 sides, and if you get a salad as one of your options, be prepared for a meal in itself. The Delmonico steaks are HUGE but delicious. I recommend it with a side of mushrooms and onions. My god...so good. Service is always friendly and helpful except sometimes lingers on the slow side. You can sometimes wait up to 45 minutes for your entrees which is actually very depressing when your starving, but you aren't ever let down when the food arrives. So it's a toss up. Decor is mehh. Boring, plain, bland - nothing fancy. But in a way I like it's low-key vibe considering how delicious the food is even if it's in a house-converted-restaurant. For the area, Marty's is a decent choice. If you want a satisfying meal with tastes of New Orlean's then this is a great find. They have Cajun style food, blackened catfish and tilapia, jambalaya (get in my mouth), and serve really delicous pasta, meat, and seafood dishes. I guess I'm a bit jaded after living in cities where I expect the entire package: great food paired with stellar service and an environment that has a nice ambiance instead of reminding me of a pizza joint/bar. But, even though this doesn't have all 3 of my credentials, I still keep coming back. And they say actions always speak louder than words, so... read more

The place to celebrate Uncle Pat's happy birthday.

Still the best scallops around on their broiled seafood platter. Awesome services as well. One of our party ordered water with lots of ices, no lemon and a second glass of ice. That came perfect and when the waitress just brought a refill she again brought the same odd combination. We went home with a paper grocery bag of leftovers as well. Their nitrogen beer is awesome as are their Martinis. I wish this place existed in Bowie, MD. read more
