    We tried this wonderful restaurant on the recommendation from the proprietor of nearby Wood Winery. The menu includes everything from wood fired pizza to full entrees. The meals we had were excellent and we will definitely be back again.

    While out of town, I stopped here to get dinner. When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked into the restaurant, and the hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the inside or outdoor bar. I sat inside, and Lauren was my bartender, and she was great! I started with the Latin Lover Martin, and it was delicious! I finished with the lemon drop martini. For my meal I got the Chilean Sea Bas, and it was delicious with the smashed potatoes. I could of done without the green beans because it was hard. I had a good experience all in all!

    food was delectable. Absolutely marvelous. My new fav! And that fine looking young man was MY OH MY! Such a kind boy. I may be mistaken, but I believe his name was Max. He will be a heartbreaker one day. what a lucky lady he must have. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the young man made it better.

    Sausage & pepperoni pizza.

    June 24th, 2021 Olde Brook Inn & Tavern Springbrook Twsp, PA Heralded as the best overall restaurant in this rather remote part of the Poconos, I confess to perhaps unreasonably high expectations. These seemed justified after reviewing the online menu and pics of various dishes... And after my first visit I'll reserve judgement on whether "the best in the area" should be ascribed to this restaurant, especially since I had only two(2) dishes and the Caesars Salad (which was excellent)... But I am hopeful. Here's why. The facilities are first rate, including an outdoor dining area. The staff is likewise excellent. Well trained, courteous and attentive, showing a genuine concern that one's dining experience is as fine as possible. The menu boasted a Magnaini Wood-fired Oven capable of reaching over 700 deg F. Having been raised in New York City & Brooklyn most of my life and having visited Naples Italy I couldn't resist the chance to see what the chef of the Olde Brook Inn did with this oven. So I ordered a pizza; half pepperoni half sausage. The menu also mentioned that provolone cheese was used as well as mozzarella. I couldn't wait. If you've ever tasted a pizza baked in a wood-fired oven, well, something wonderful happens to pizza dough in particular, and the whole pie in general. And this expectation was realized regarding the dough but fell short for the pizza overall. The sauce, the cheese(s) and the sausage. The pepperoni was very good. The sauce was a bit bland and the provolone that was added to the mozzarella didnt really do much for the final product. I must say that in this area of the Poconos, this pizza was one of the best. However I'm looking at the Olde Brook Inn through the eyes of someone who has a hope of finding a world class pizzeria being a seasonal resident here for over 30 years and being continually disappointed... But with a hopeful perspective, The Olde Brook Inn has that potential, if they would consider fine-tuning a couple of things regarding pizza. Normally I wouldn't presume to critique a professional chefs recipe but in the area of pizza, I feel comfortable given my experience and travel. And I hope this is taken in the spirit in which it is intended. Firstly, Pizza sauce. I can't say what's wrong only that its bland tasting. Perhaps a new recipe. Secondly, the cheese. It simply wasn't as tasty as I expected. OBI might consider baking just the dough for a minute or less. Then adding thinly sliced provolone to the surface. Then add sauce and mozzarella. As I said, the pepperoni was fine; a bit spicey as it should be. But the sausage left something to be desired. Enough about the pizza... Lastly the Meatballs Al Forne... They were not as tasty as I expected. They were ok but not what I hoped for from a restaurant of this caliber. They were heavy. And the sauce used really didn't help the overall taste much. They should have been lighter. Again OBI might consider mixing in a bit of beef flavored gelatin then cooking them on a grill before simmering them in sauce. Just a thought... In sum, my hopes remain high that the Olde Brook Inn will prove to be one of the best restaurants in the Poconos. I look forward to returning to sample some of the many excellent dishes described in their menu...

    French Dip Sandwich

    Came here a few weeks ago on a warm Sunday afternoon and was happy to see the place as crowded as it could possibly be during these times. There's a very cozy, rustic feel to this place which I really liked. The menu featured some handheld items and then some entrees that were a little more on the elegant side which is my favorite kind of menu because that means you can come to the restaurant for a casual lunch or you can also make it a place to have formal dinner gathering. The french dip sandwich was out of this world- if a sandwich could be considered sexy this one would qualify... and then with the au jus and the horseradish dip that it came with I was honestly just in heaven. I reheated my other half in the oven for lunch the following day and it was just as good- the baguette didn't get soggy or anything! I definitely would like to return when I get the chance! PS. Get the cheesesteak egg rolls you won't be sorry

The interior is a little darker than most restaurants with rustic browns and signature blues throughout. Like the hardwood floors, bare tables, brown tones, then the blue drapes or sconces for a nice touch. Pretty classy without being pretentious. The food was pretty tasty too; had the scallop appetizer, decent portion for the price. Five pieces come with tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and a few crostini for a flavorful all in one bite. Dinner was halibut and duck entrees, halibut portion size was pretty big considering, duck portion was really small. Hardwood grilled meats and veggies had a nice smokie flavor. The side long grain wild rice was over cooked and mushy, but the duck came with a pomegranate gastrique that really rounded the dish out. The house baked bread with garlic honey butter adds a nice touch. Desert was passion fruit panna cotta; never had panna cotta before but watch all kinds of chefs screw it up on TV. I'd say the custard was creamy but not too thin. The passion fruit was ultra tart and overwhelming. Probably a different fruit would have been a better choice; came with a giant cookie. This is an expensive restaurant no other way about it, but at least the food is very good. Great spot for milestone events.

We were told…read morethe chicken wings would be 35 minutes, so we opted not to wait that long and ordered something different instead. 35 minutes came and went, and we kept thinking "oh, it'll only be a couple more minutes. It has to be. Because this wait is absurd." Not to mention, they brought out the little condiment container with a few packets of ketchup and some hand wipes, about an hour and a half before our meal was served. Normally, that kind of thing would be brought out just before your meal comes. Like, within minutes. Not hours. Finally had the opportunity to try this place. Sad to say, we were sorely disappointed. The place was empty when we got there. 2 ladies came in after us, ordered after us, and 45 minutes later, they ate their meal and left. Another guy came in after us, ordered his meal, got and ate his meal, and left. Meanwhile, we still hadn't seen our meal delivered and not a word from staff on why on earth it was taking so long. More customers come and go. FINALLY, nearly 2 hours later, we got 3 of the 4 meals we ordered. The food was ok, but definitely not worth that kind of wait and definitely not worth the $20 they are charging for a burger. I got the Steak and Cheese wrap and by the time it was served to us, the wrap was so soggy I couldn't pick it up and had to eat with fork and knife. My daughters meal was forgotten in the order, so I had to go to the counter. Waited approximately 25 minutes before someone came from the back, to the desk where there were about 5 other people waiting. Finally got his attention and let him know he forgot my daughter's meal. They did promptly put her chicken ceasar salad together and brought it out about 10 more minutes later. While we were finishing up, another customer who was also waiting for TWO HOURS FOR FRIES, came back to let them know that his $40 meal of only fries, was soggy and inedible. He was extremely upset The review would be 0 stars, if it weren't for the owner comping our meals because of the ridiculous 2 hour wait. Would have loved to say we'll try the place again. But we won't.

They specialize in farm to table and healthy food. Our plans before were running long but luckily their reservation policies were flexible enough that I had no problem moving my time, even on such a busy day. The restaurant was POPPING when we arrived around 4:30. We were seated promptly. The only downside to our experience was that the table was SUPER shaky and wobbly. We asked our waitress for a shim or piece of paper to steady the table but she informed us it was the table head itself, not the legs, so nothing could be done. I was not thrilled about this but assumed that these were tables they hauled out of storage to accommodate the holiday demand, so I can understand. Our server was very warm and friendly despite the chaos. Prices are on the high side but the quality is good and the portions are large. I went for the lobster cobb which was a special and it was LOADED with lobster meat. They really heaped it on. A little light on the avocado, but overall it was really wonderful. My mother went for a seafood scallop risotto which I also tried. It was creamy and flavorful. Our food came out in a reasonable timeframe, and our server was good about getting our check. One thing I really liked was that they put which dishes on the menu are over 500 calories, and most were under. A lovely, healthy dining choice with a nice ambiance. I'd return!

We found ourselves here on a busy weeknight and what a great dinner we had. Service was very friendly. It was a little on the slow side at first due to the volume but it cleared out soon after we arrived, so it improved. It was a little noisy but tables were not too close together, there was plenty of space. They have a nice wine list. Portions were generous and we boxed up some leftovers to go. We wanted to try other restaurants while visiting the area, otherwise we would have come back to sample more of their menu. We had the halibut from the seasonal offerings, and the burger, paired with the best mexican street corn I have ever tried. Highly recommend!

There's a bar under the tent too; probably pretty cool to chill and drink out there in the warmer months. Inside it's a little orangish, reddish, and dark, but looks like a dive bar (not in a bad way). There are some tables lined up in the middle and against the wall. Service was a bit sluggish, bar tender waited on us mostly and someone else. Ticket times were a bit longer than they should have been for burgers and fries. But, the bar tender and server were both very nice and friendly. Food was alright. Burgers were requested medium but came to the table completely hammered. Flavor was good, fries were pretty good but it's a little hard to mess up fries. Had some bacon ranch tots on the side and saved the fries. Tots were good too. If there's a next time I'll try the wings, but realistically it's just a bar that serves food. Bands play so if friends or family visit maybe I'll bring them here.
