The Donkey is back! I had to copy my review from the old closed listing, so please continue reading…read morebelow. What's old is new again. Again. Now, it's just "The Donkey." Jojo left and new owners are taking us back in a time to the original Donkey. Open merely a week and a limited menu, but I was only coming here for wings anyway. Got 10 mild and garlic parm boneless bites. The mild sauce would be considered hot anywhere else. Super tasty. Garlic parm was not overpowering and quite perfectly balanced. Highly recommend both. We also tried the chicken empanadas and they were super tasty along with the two dipping sauces. So glad this off the beaten path restaurant and bar has reopened. Can't wait to come back. I did come back 8/5 and had another amazing time on bite night. Delicious!

We arrived right at 4:00 p.m. on a Friday as they were opening, and everything from the service to the food exceeded our expectations. Our server, Michelle, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. They had several daily specials that all sounded amazing. We started with the cheese fries, which instantly brought back nostalgic memories, they were simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. For our meals, my husband ordered the Crispy Chicken Salad, topped with two large hand-breaded chicken tenders tossed in mild sauce with blue cheese dressing. My daughter loved her 6-cut Red Pizza, which arrived perfectly crispy and full of flavor. I ordered the wings, fried to perfection and served with mild sauce and blue cheese. On Michelle's recommendation, my son went with the Breakfast Burger, and wow! It was enormous and incredibly juicy. Every bite was outstanding. If you're anywhere near the area, do not sleep on this place! Their slogan says "Almost Famous," but I honestly don't think they'll be "almost" for much longer. Get here before everyone else discovers this hidden gem, you'll be glad you did!

SMALL, CRISPY WINGS! One more time for those who are looking for medium or large wings: SMALL AND…read moreCRISPY! My favorite wing place of all time. You don't have to order extra crispy or wet, they come out perfect every time. They are cooked to order, so it can take a while longer than places who pre-cook. Try a Kelly Fry or French Onion Soup and pretty much anything else on the menu. All good all the time. Service is always friendly and quick, even when busy. They've been here since 1990, so I think they have it figured out. Bonus craziness on St Patrick's Parade Day, bag pipes and good cheer o'plenty!

(4 1/2 stars) An institution in the city of Scranton! The big argument about this place will be…read morethat they have "pigeon wings" or tiny wings. While their wings do tend to be smaller than other normal or even jumbo sized wings, to call them pigeon wings is just ridiculous. If you're someone who eats an order of 10 feel free to order 15 here and get the same full belly effect. The one thing they have going on that cannot be matched is consistency. It doesn't matter who's cooking, the day of the week, or the crowd size. The wings are always the same size, cooked the same way, and sauced the same way. I do feel as if they travel well too due to their smaller size. Reheating them with an extra side of sauce, has proven to be a hit at parties. They deserve to be in the conversation for best wings in the area. The staff is friendly and attentive. There is a large family friendly dining room. The one negative, I do wish the bar area was larger. If you're able to find a seat, it is a nice time, but it is a very narrow and limited seating experience.

But don't let this discourage you because the bartenders are pretty awesome, the drinks are super cheap, and the food is always amazing. They get DJ pat in there which I do believe they do need to change out for somebody new especially on karaoke night but you can't have it all. I was skeptical when I ordered the mozzarella sticks until the bartender Chris told me that they are literally slicing the mozzarella off the block rolling it in the breadcrumbs and cooking it. I can't explain to you how much I hate mozzarella sticks that come from a bag out of a Sam's Club. These are the best mozzarella sticks I'm pretty sure all northeastern Pennsylvania. My father always said dive bars have the best food in and this place is definitely a testament to that.

But these were perfectly cooked and delicious. The fish sandwich, however, was only ok. The fish was very thin and disappointing which is a bad start for a fish sandwich. The bun was brioche (I believe) which I've railed against before. Our ridiculous president should ban it (that sounds about right). It overwhelmed the sandwich and fell apart (as it always does). While I sound negative, I would definitely try it again.

Overall it just feels a bit worn out. When we were there we kept getting a whiff of that stale mop/college bar smell which is never appetizing.

There were no prices on the menu which I have never ever seen before!

This new location on Lake Winola served up the best bbq this diner has ever had! Let's start with…read moremy favorite dish, which I did not expect...the stew. Dear, Baby Jesus. Boasting rich and comforting flavors, this concoction was an amalgam of deliciously smoked meat and veggies swimming in a pool of a savory tomato and herb broth. The next favorite, and honestly the best I've ever had - the ribs. Fall-off-the-bone, moist, saucy and full, these delightful slices of heaven sung of flavor. Before I go on sounding like I ate a meal for a village, we were treated to a lovely sampling. The meatloaf, paired with the potato salad, would be the hit of any party. Finally, and I don't know how the chef did this, but the smoked tuna was so rich and different, it reminded me of eating a fresh and expensive crab cake. Note to all who are looking for some epic bbq: check the updates for availability. It's no shock, but this locale sells out of items quickly in its TH-S run. An experience I will never forget. Thanks to the owner/chef for a fantastic dining delight!

I got the chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything was excellent! The portion size was huge. Glad I asked for it in a to go container because I only ate 1/4 of it & I was stuffed!! My son didn't order because he's not a big bbq eater so the owner brought out a sample of their signature New Brunswick stew. The boy doesn't eat soup either so I had to eat that too!! Lol - I'm not sorry! We got to listen to some R&B that was playing softly in the background. Soothing and not loud enough that you couldn't have a normal conversation. The dining area was clean and tidy. Loved it!
