    Wing Wednesday
    Will A.

    Came here for a dinner and some brews. They have regular live music as well and we were lucky enough to be there while it was going on. Good selection of tap beer and I had the wing special which was tasty and a good deal. Had a very friendly waitress. Would definitely recommend, especially on Wednesday for wings and live music.

    We stopped at The Gem and Keystone for dinner while on vacation. My group all really enjoyed their food but unfortunately my clams were gritty which distracted from the flavorful broth. We enjoyed the live music and our waitress was attentive and friendly.

    Garlic parmesan wings

    We ordered for pickup which was quick but did include an automatic gratuity. We got garlic parmesan wings which were really good and came with some celery. They weren't too saucy. The baby back ribs were extremely saucy which is generally fine, but they were piled on top of the fries, making them a soggy mess. Ketchup was available on request, but that was before I knew what a mush pile the fries would be. It seems for the extra gratuity fee, a separate box would not have been unreasonable. The food was overall decent and perhaps dine in would make the experience better.

    Pretty Poconos in spring at Shawnee

    Gem and Keystone's patio was perfect for our large group social. Nice server (she took our group photo) took all our drink orders fairly promptly. Beers are all made at Shawnee brewery on premise and are very good. Nice cocktail options. Food orders included cat fish (that fried cat fish with whipped sweets looked best to me) vegetarian chili, wings, tavern burgers, salads. All decent tavern fare. Server so attentive to all in our big group. Lovely spring evening and gorgeous setting to celebrate each other. Cheers to Gem and Keystone for ensuring our pleasant evening of fun and laughter.

    Fantastic deck, delicious margaritas and the best and Only vegan and gluten free burger around. The service is always great!

    French Onion Soup
    Mel K.

    The seasonal drinks were amazing. The French Onion Soup, definitely a favorite, was very flavorful ~ done to perfection. The catfish sandwich with apple jicama and Thai chili sauce on a brioche bun was delicious. It would be hard to try something new when it was already the perfect meal. SECOND VISIT: since the first was a success! I craved that French onion soup again, but challenged myself to try the soup special, beef lentil. It did not disappoint. It was very flavorful. My friend and I shared the Monday night empanada special. Forewarning, the salsa was hot, but Omgosh the flavors were amazing. I had a wing craving and decided the spicy maple garlic was going to be the perfect adventure. They were tasty too! My friend tried the beef pot pie and it did not disappoint. This restaurant is definitely a plus for our trip.

    Cheesesteak
    Vinny F.

    Came with family of 5 and we loved everything we had. From the cheese dip with pretzels, to pub cheesesteak. Nachos were okay but not bad. We will Be eating here next time we come up This way.

    Another visit to one of my favorite eateries in the Poconos. My groups french onion soup was tasty however I'm used to the soup reaching the rim of the crock and the cheese melts over the rim. My cheesesteak was delicious however I needed some extra cheese sauce for my cheesesteak. Now for the disappointment,my wife catfish sandwich was terrible according to my wife. The sandwich was soggy, the fish was not crispy and it fell apart when my wife cut it in half.Her sweet potato fries and my grandson's sweet potato fries were cold and my onion rings which I love here were undercooked. I hated our meals weren't up to our usual standards here. I hope it was just a fluke tonight. our server Justin was excellent and the young lady who kept returning to see if she could clear away any unused plates. Eat outside on the last day of summer was so surreal , good bye summer hello PSL(pumpkin spice latte).

Well, I just love this place and if you're looking for somewhere to get a drink and soak in the gorgeous Delaware water gap area look no further! First of all the beer here was really darn good, a cut above most places! But on top of that, if you'd rather have wine, well help yourself! They also do wine flights here! Both a beer and wine were terrific and above average! But the location and the views give it an extra star and bring it to five stars! The experience is not to be missed and exactly what I was looking for after a hard day of hiking and sightseeing in the Delaware water camp. On top of that, they got some really nice food. If you're hungry, their pizza is great! Great bar pies to hit the spot! You could sit inside or outside. If you want to sit inside, I highly recommend making a reservation even for the middle of the afternoon! That's right even for the middle of the afternoon! However, even though the inside was full, we sat out back on the patio and had a blast! However, if you want to eat a meal here, you'll need to get a reservation inside. They serve a limited menu outside however pizza was exactly what I was looking for to go with my beer! Super highly recommended to visit when in the area.

After getting the menu from inside, we went back in to order drinks and some food to snack on. Everyone enjoyed their drinks (flight of beers, flight of wines, some cocktails and non-alcoholic Dry Secco). Charcuterie was very nice while the sliders and flatbread weren't the best. We were able to hangout without anyone bothering us. There's now a small playground set up which was great for the toddler.

    Did a midweek get away and found this place. Looked it up and there were pretty good reviews so we…read moredecided to try it. The staff was very nice and seated us promptly, we were sat at a table that was booth on one side and chair on the other but it was an extra tall bar stool type table. Soon as I sat down the sun was right in my eyes. Yes only a small nuisance till the bar tender shut a blind (because the bar folks were effected) but there were so many empty table. Why sit us at this table ? There were plenty of other tables that would not have had this issue. Not sure why the hostess would not know not to use this table for this time of day. Other then that the place was very clean and a normal pub type atmosphere. Nothing super special though. We started off with an appetizer called the "Texas Twinkie" - okay. I read "twinkie" and think some form of cake/bread with a filling. What we got was more of an egg roll. The outside was either a wonton type wrap or a tortilla then filled with brisket, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeño, and BBQ sauce. This was very delicious but definitely misleading in the name and the menu didnt really describe the item, it only give the name and listed the ingredients. I bring this up because we also ordered the traditional pizza.... what we got was more of a flatbread and pretty bland as well. Super basic bread with a lack of flavor marinara sauce and cheese. Also the sauce to cheese ratio was sad. You can tell this because all the cheese on the slice would come right off with 1 bite. We would not order this again based on the price and what was served. I also had the French onion soup. This was pretty well done. Not to salty, no crazy cheeses added. It was well balanced and was worth getting. My partners entree was the barley creek whiskey BBQ sauce on chicken tenders. These were just ok. The sauce seemed more tomatoe based then normal for a BBQ sauce and again just wasn't what one would expect from the name whiskey Bbq sauce. I am sure people do like this place but it wasn't very impressive to us. 3 out 5 stars is a fair rating as service was good for the most part, the place was clean with a decent amount of menu options, but the execution of the food lacked and the menu names are definitely misleading for the items we had ordered.
