    If you're coming here to drink at the bar, this is the place for you! If you're coming here to eat, I would pass. The service was good, but the food was just okay. If you do decide to eat here, I'd stick to a burger - everything else is overpriced for what you're getting. The views are pretty.

    Solid all around Pocono restaurant and bar. There are two main dining areas and a substantial sized wrap around bar. There is also a small gift shop that sells souvenirs and hoodies and stuff. They have a mostly bar food menu with a few entrees and assorted things. Nice appetizer selection as well. One of the more notable elements of Nick's is the view of the lake upon which it is situated. Our family enjoyed the appetizers, burgers and sandwiches we ordered and the kids thought the pizza was very good. Standout menu items are the brown sugar cured bacon burger with burger sauce as well as the boneless buffalo wings which were crispy and tender and moist inside. When you are in the area be sure to stop by Nick's.

    Stopped in for an early dinner! Service was great as well as drinks and food! And loved the scenery of the lake! Next time will return for live music!

    I'm giving 5 stars for the food and lake view. Our waitress seemed busy, having her own dinner at a table inside and missing ... and the man who delivered our food did spill my water on my lap. But overall great experience. I still left a great tip

    Not to be dramatic but this food is HORRIBLE. Easily the worst meal I've ever eaten. Bumped from one to two stars only because our waitress was a sweetheart to our large party. Ok so appetizers... can't mess up nachos right? Wrong. Soggy lettuce, a minuscule amount of cheese, or was it sour cream? I really don't know. Microwaved pretzels from probably Costco. Microwaved mozzarella sticks. Now the entrees... absolutely horrible. I went with the Buddha bowl with steak. The soba noodles were DRYYYY dry dry and stuck together. The steak: four tiny pieces of obviously frozen steak that was rare in the middle. The best entree on the table was probably the burger, which, of course, was also pretty bad. The pasta dish literally tasted like watered down tomato sauce with a scoop of sugar. I truly can't think of a good thing to say other than our waitress. A local had told us that the three big bars/restaurants on the lake all had the same owner. The places are PACKED because there is really and truly no other places to eat dinner and have a drink. With that success, I would hope the owners wouldn't cheap out on frozen EVERYTHING and serve it to us like dog food. Not to mention that all of the patrons were fanning themselves for some slight relief in a stinky, hot restaurant with no air conditioning. Should I find myself in Lake Harmony again, I'll be sure to plan accordingly to make all 3 meals at the house.

    My family and I recently had a small reception dinner at Nicks Lake House. The food was amazing! The staff was amazing! The atmosphere was amazing. We reached out to Cyndi to help plan the evening. She went above and beyond to make sure the evening was special. We requested lake view seating and it was such an amazing view. Our dinner table was situated in front of a large entry way that overlooked the lake. We had the pleasure of eating our dinner while viewing a beautiful sunset. The candles on the table combined with the breeze coming off the lake made for a very special evening. Additionally, our server Nichole made sure our guests were well taken care of.

    Was there for the polar plunge for Autism. What a wonderful event that means so much to my family as my grandson is autistic. The staff was amazing and the food as well. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event. Can't wait to return in the summer months and enjoy the scenery

    We had pretty bad service here. We were here for almost 2 hours due to the delays in getting our food. The appetizer, the tater tots, were pretty good! For the price, I did expect more food in this serving. My pasta was very dry. We also didn't get all the food we ordered, but we were tired of waiting on the food at this point only to realize it wasn't all there. But of course, we were charged for the items we never got. I wouldn't come back here. It was just too long of a wait and our waitress barely came to our table. The ambiance is festive, they had an upside down Christmas tree and lots of valentines decorations.

    First time this year! Cool day.

    Madison is our server and she is awesome! We have been here before and the ambiance is great. We have a house nearby and eating on the water is our favorite activity! Food is burgers, pizza, salads. Something for everyone!

    Had fish and chips. Usually love fish and chips but the fish was very oily and the chips were mediocre French fries. Meh

This establishment was formerly Capone's , a name it went by for a long time.Before that, It's history as a spirits pub goes back many years . Right when you go inside the bar, will tell you you're in an old old establishment. You don't see this type of bar-back construction anymore. And it's original. Fast fwd to today. It is very revitalized with new owners recently taking over the reins of the place late in 2020. This non- smoking establishment has a good sized back room with tables as well as tables and a high top in the main bar area. They can seat 10-20 if you let them know ahead of time. The crowd pressure is both local flavor and transient, especially in the outdoor recreation warm months. The fact it sits right on the D&L Trail is also a nice point. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Most of the time they go out of their way to make sure you're served and conversed with, if your into that. The menu has grown and evolved also. The food has great flavor and is a decent sized plate. The cooking here seems exceptional for a local tavern. There are specials running almost every night. Taco Tuesdays and other special food offerings are also to be had. The Wings are big and meaty; the sauce is generous and the best I've had in the area. And that exceptional meal on Sundays that runs as a special "Grandma's SUNDAY Dinners". The Burgers are as big as trampolines and tasty. The customer area is a welcoming atmosphere with some games and great music machine. Karaoke or Triva Mondays, Live music most every Saturday night now. A Great outdoor area with tables and umbrellas sitting right there off the trail in Main Street Whitehaven in the warm months. If your sightseeing this is great lunch stop, if you're on the River or trekking the D&L Trail around White Haven it's right here. This is definitely worth the stop! If you're into the "hometown Americana" experiences in your travels this one rates a stop

We found this place because I was looking for somewhere I could get a beer and walk out and around the town of Jim Thorpe (I believe they allow it here). But ended up staying for the vibes and plus we were super hungry. I wish I remembered our waitresses name but I believe she had pink in her hair. She allowed me and my girlfriend to sample some beers that she thought we would like because we were hesitant and what to order. We got the sangria sour beer and the white ale which were perfect for us. We also saw online that everyone loved the smash burger so we had to try it. We added truffle fries for 3 dollars which was so worth it. Some of the best fries we have ever had. Also I think we decided it was the best smash burger we have ever had. We both have never tried bacon jam and we were a bit hesitant about the pimento cheese as well. I think my favorite moment from this trip was sitting at the bar here and eating this meal. Plus the burger lived up to the hype. Thank you to the waitress we had you made our day!
