What a nice surprise. Usually hotel restaurants are fair at best, but I was so pleased with this one! We ordered the shrimp Mac & Cheese and a corned beef and cabbage special. Both were great. They change their specials weekly. This week had a bunch of Irish specialties--shepherds pie and corned beef among them. They have a very nice drink menu. I had a great Cabernet Sauvignon and my husband had a Yuengling and also a double bourbon. The whiskey menu is extensive! I think their board has about 50 different selections on it. We got a taste of one of their margaritas and it was quite nice. They recently began to run a margarita menu that was just released. It has multiple tequila choices, different flavors and can choose frozen or on the rocks. Service was slow to start, but fortunately the folks working the restaurant cover for each other and we were able to get menus before we saw our server. Once our server came back from wherever she had been, we had very good service. The atmosphere is casual and quite dark at night. If you tend to be sensitive to cold, bring a jacket or sweater as it's a pretty open area, and tends to be cool. We enjoyed our dinner here and I recommend trying it out. Prices were fine. Dinners were in the range of $16-$25. read more

P.J.'s 1910 Pub - Shrimp Mac & Cheese. Really tasty and had a nice crunch from a panko topping. - American Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

They had one server who was in the weeds. I ordered macaroni salad and it was awful... tasted like the macaroni sat in cold water until they needed to add mayo to it. It was hard and mushy at the same time. I ordered my chicken to be grilled instead of fried and I got fried. Will not go back on my lunch hour again. read more

This restairant in located in the Hilton Hotel & conference Center on Adam's Ave. After a long 12 drive to the area, it was too late to go out so we decided to eat here. I am not normally a fan of hotel restaurants but I have to admit, this was was really good. I had the orancia salad and added grilled chicken If cam in a large cylindrical bowl and it was absolutely delightful for a late, light dinner! Full of candied walnuts and chunks of bue cheese and dried berries... the salad dressing was citrus, and the mixed bany greens were fresh and crisp. Just perfect! Hubby had the burger, which was ok, and we thought it was going to be a handmade burger, but this looked processed. The bun, lettuce, and tomato were fresh and tasty. The fries were excellent as well. Hubby enjoyed the heck outta those fries! Our server Zack was the best. He was so kind and attentive. He really made us feel at home and that we were not a bother so late at night. He was awesome! read more

Things are much better here from my last review. Servers are very attentive some great food specials. The desserts to end the meal are wonderful! Love seeing changes for the better way to go! read more

Delicious food! I wasn't super hungry so only got 2 appetizers but they were both 11/10, no complaints on the roasted cauliflower nor the shrimp cocktail. My best friend got the buffalo chicken wrap and really liked it as well. I stole some of her fries which were really yummy as well heheh... food was really fast as well despite it being St Patty's weekend. read more

P.J.'s 1910 Pub - Shrimp Cocktail, Roasted Cauliflower - American Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

I was hoping to have good food. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak. The meat was charred in some spots. The bread was soggy. That's what makes any good cheesesteak. I upcharged my chips to fries. I've never had such horrible fries. It tasted as if they were cooked in a microwave. I won't be going back to this establishment. read more

Thanksgiving dinner at the Hilton just wasn't up to "Hilton" standards. Lots of food but most of it frozen style and not very good. read more

Zack is the best server !! The food is surprisingly good for a hotel. Great service from Zack which is what I think made the experience.

The service is inconsistent. The food is inconsistent. I eat here when I'm staying at the Hilton for the convenience. And its the only restaurant open on Monday and Tuesday. read more

Amazing tasting brisket! Burnt Ends sandwich will not disappoint. Flatbread pizza was flavorful. Worth popping into the Hilton Hotel just for the food. read more

We arrived at the Hilton Scranton around 9 p.m. tired and starving -- nearly all of the restaurants in the area were closed for the night, except P.J.'s in the hotel lobby. I was skeptical, but at this point I would have eaten my own arm. We ordered the mozzarella sticks (more like half circles) as an appetizer, which were nicely fried with a flavorful mozzarella filling. The Caesar salad was nothing special, but it was large enough that I didn't mind the lackluster taste. The pub burger and fries stole the show. The burger was perfectly cooked, sandwiched between a glistening brioche bun with a slice of Swiss (?) cheese. The fries were lightly fried, which allowed the taste of the delicious potatoes to shine. The one waitress serving the (relatively small) restaurant was kind, funny and attentive. And at 10 p.m., that no doubt required a significant amount of mental strength. If you find yourself in Scranton late at night on a weekday, P.J.'S has you covered. read more

Gabriel was my family's bartender last night. He went above and beyond for us. Ensured we were having a good time and made some good drinks. Came back several times and provided great and humble service. read more

The ladies who work here are so wonderful and friendly!! My husband and I stayed at the Hilton hotel for a few nights for a quick trip to Scranton, and we had such a great experience! Highly recommend the margaritas!! read more

We stayed at the motel, and decided we would try PJ's. There is something broke in this place. The service is incredibly slow. On Thursday, we figured it was just busy. On Friday, we noticed that the wait-people were busy, when you saw them... but they spend more time away from the customer area than in it... like 75% of the time! We struggled to even find someone to complain too! Plan on 30 minutes for first drink, another 30 to order. If you are lucky, another hour before the check comes. Don't even ask simple questions like soup of the day... that'll cost you 20 minutes to find out. Food was good once it showed, coffee was tepid, and thankfully I had no desire for another drink or dessert... there are only so many hours on the day! Oh, and they added 20% gratuity for this terrible service, even for only 2 people! They not only soured is on this restaurant, but we will be looking for a better venue for our convention. Nice job PJ's! read more

Ugh!!!!! Not cozy, not good.. No decor. No service. Like being at a wedding that none of the guests showed up. Supposedly fully booked but out of the 100 10 tops they had. 6 were only full at any given time and yet still unable to accommodate a smaller table. The Radisson is usually my go to and will still be. read more

Great food with an awesome and friendly waitstaff! We dinned here last night and were totally blown away by the quality and freshness of the food. While the atmosphere is your typical hotel bar the food make PJ's a food destination. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would gladly return here if we were ever passing through Scranton again. The salmon for fresh and perfectly cooked. The steak was juicy and came with potato wedges that were out of this world. The Cesar salad was a fun innovative grilled romaine salad that was right on par with dishes you would find in downtown NY City. PJ's had a few craft beers on tap and a small but adequate wine list. For desert we split an apple tart that was a great way to end an awesome meal. Keep this place in mind if you are looking for a quality meal at a decent price in Scranton! read more

1 star for very slow service at a high top, which would probably been much better at the bar, which was staffed by a highly attentive barkeep. It took 40 minutes to get two salads. Food gets 3 stars for a mixed bag. Onion soup was very good as was the beet salad (that was supposed be baby kale, but was made with baby spinach instead). The wedge salad was gross. Nice wedge and dressing, but also a gray, thick slab of bacon that was at lest a day old and a brownish green sliced avocado had no business being on the plate. Add microwaved rolls that became hard as a rock when they cooled. Anyway, probably a serviceable place if your at the hotel and can be served by the bartender. read more

Service was really good and the salmon Caesar wrap that was on special was delicious and unique!!

Great food! Lobster gouda mac and cheese and burgers, vegetarian and gluten free options for my picky family. Delicious food. Great service, attentive and caring. A great selection of craft beers and liquors. Epic martinis like the Adams ave Smashed Olde Fashion, Lackawanna Manhattan, the Spruce St. Matador.. we have a blast! read more

Terrible food and service. Steak was over cooked. Food was cold and low quality. That about sums it up.
