The service is wonderful! The food is delicious and there's something for everyone on the menu. The bar services is good. The table service is good. It gets busy and they don't take reservations so go early if you don't wanna wait too long it's worth the wait though. read more

Always a fantastic meal. Theres always a bit of a wait but so worth it. The owner is very hands on, from taking drink orders, stopping to chat, running food to even busting tables himself. Hes running around every single time we have ever bee there. Great service and staff. Huge portions for a great price and awesome quality. We are never let down even with the dinner entrees (stuffed chicken, lobster, prime rib) all very well cooked and seasoned. read more

Great food fantastic service. We will be coming back for sure. Portions are huge. We could have ordered 1 salad and split it.

The prices are good, and they don't skimp, but the flavor is just non-existent on everything we got. The veggies are from frozen, and barely seasoned, barely heated. My sister got a sandwich with the sauce hardly drizzled over the meat. Not on the dried out bun, and not enough to even offer any flavor. The salad was just iceberg lettuce and shrimp, nothing else. The shrimp was unseasonably, a good texture, but no taste. Service was deplorable. We had about the snobbiest guy in the world. He was bothered he had to wait on us, and he rolled his eyes non stop. We got drink refills from someone else, couldn't find this guy when we needed him. We were charged for sauce we never asked for, nor received? Not sure what that's about. They fixed it. I couldn't and wouldn't recommend. read more

One of the best spots in the Scranton area. Easy to miss in a strip mall on the O'Neal highway in Dunmore, you should make it a point to go to the Loading Dock if you've never been. A couple of one word observations: Fast Clean Tasy Filling Professional The servers are great, friendly, and really good at their jobs. The owner keeps this place impressively clean and remarkably efficient. Oh, it's also very affordable. No price gouging on the menu that I can notice. Good wings, burgers, salads (salads? Yes, really good salads!), cheesesteaks, fries...you get the idea. Give them a try, but be prepared to wait a few minutes (not too long) to get your seat. read more

Really good bar food and super affordable. Their drink menu is also really big and diverse too!

Good bar style food, great service. They do take out also. Never eaten in but seems family friendly

Some of the best wings I've had in a long time (secret sauce all the way) highly recommend!

Can only rate lunch but great size portions. A neighborhood favorite. Fish basket was great and any side made available instead of fries. Worth a visit. read more

Every time I call this place to order food. They either closed or dont answer. Their food is good but DAMN their business is either open or not open. They not consistent or honest with their business hours. I feel as if they open n close as they feel therefore how we continue giving this place business. So Frustrating. read more

Addendum: Through the pandemic I want to thank The Loading Dock for maintaining the excellent quality of food and drink, and outstanding service for takeout. Best restaurant in NEPA or better yet Best Restaurant in the world!! Earlier review: I love this place. The place is clean,easy to get to, plenty of parking, but the food is stupendous!! Staff extremely helpful and attentive. Modest prices. I always enjoy coming here read more

Food and service were good but they need some better lighting and more selection of drinks

Knowledgeable staff. Delicious variety of food, spirits and draft beer. X2. If I had guests from out of town, I'd likely put "The Loading Dock Bar & Grill" on our list of places to have dinner. read more

Good food, good service and the bar area is great to sit at. There is plenty of restaurant sitting also, family friendly place.

Fun place to go but make sure you are hungry when you go because here you get a lot of food for you money.

Wonderful food, huge portions, and a kind staff. You can't go wrong The atmosphere is even very nice which is always a plus. Every item we ordered was so delicious. We definitely will be coming back. I think this is now one of our favorite local restaurants. First time dining here was tonight and we were blown away. 10 out of 10 read more

Always worth it to eat here. Wings are crisp and there is a variety of sauces. Salads will fill you up. Burgers are delicious. Perogies are a treat. The beer is always cold. There is always something new to try, or a fave to re-visit. I think this is the cleanest restaurant I've ever been in. read more

Visited here with a friend on a Tuesday evening. I ordered a chicken cheese steak - buffalo style. To me this was just OK. I just wasn't a fan of the mozzarella cheese on top, nor the chunks of celery in the cheese steak. Just my preference. But I would absolutely come back to try something else on the menu And will change my rating at that time. Service was very friendly and attentive. read more

This is great place to hang out and enjoy a game. Good is good and atmosphere is friendly read more

Great food, and good atmosphere the staff is very welcoming and friendly and the owner is very tentative and pays close attention to each customer. My wife order a chicken quesadilla the last time we visited, and wasn't happy with the amount of cheese (way to much). The owner notice the displeasure in my wife's face, he approached our table found out what was going on and agree, and personally when and grabbed her a freshly made chicken quesadilla. The place stays busy for a reason trust me specially for lunch and dinner, they also have a good beer selection. read more

One of my favorite places with delicious food and great hospitality. I would recommend this place

Wow! What a treat! Don't judge a book (or really the area) by its' cover on this one. Located in an older strip mall, you could miss this gem but you'd be sad to! Food is delicious, very reasonably priced, and service is fantastic. Staff is friendly and restaurant is very clean. Large waiting area as this place does get crowded, but you aren't waiting too long and are kept in the loop by very attentive front house staff. No kids menu, but they do offer a variety of kid friendly choices which are sure to be a hit with the younger crowd. Their "secret sauce" chicken wings are amazing! read more

I recently ordered a buffalo chicken tender salad. First let me say there were no chicken tenders. It was a chicken cutlet that was cut up. The mild buffalo flavoring on the chicken was sparse. It wasn't juicy. The chicken pieces were dry. The lettuce was that really curly stuff. My mistake. I should have inquired and asked for romaine or head lettuce. It was a take out order. No utensils!! No napkins!! Eh. I've had better at this place. It was a huge disappointment. read more

Turned away at 8:20PM after calling 30 minutes prior to make sure there was no wait. Very disappointed with the service anymore.

Great beer selection and service. Owner seems to never forget a face and is friendly and beer knowledgeable.

Driving through on the way back from a wedding in PA. From the outside I didn't expect much but it's right off of 81, the environment is excellent, the staff is incredibly friendly, the prices are reasonable and you truly don't get better food from a random stop on a road trip. Incredibly clean with good beer selections as well. read more

"Clearly a neighborhood favorite." Place: the restaurant is located inside of a strip mall; very easy to drive by or never even notice. Inside, the decor is quite basic. Definitely carry a sweater if you get cold as air condition was on full blast! Family friendly and clearly a community favorite. First impression: No host(ess) at the front door. First experience is walk in and see a huge amount of people waiting. Random stranger told me to wait at the counter to be added to the waitlist. Given wait time was 30 mins and it ended up being less. While waiting it appeared staff was running around doing a millions things at a time. Staff seemed thoughtful and polite. Menu: Simple easy to read menu, but lacked any drink menu (no soft drinks listed and you have to request a tap list if you want beer). A huge opportunity lost for revenue in my opinion. So when waiter comes to the table, you don't know your drink options if it's your first time. Desserts?? Not sure if they have any, none was offered nor was there any sign of a dessert menu. (Maybe you have to ask for that too!) Now I'm wondering what their full beverage menu is... and now I'm craving dessert! Service: The wait staff was very kind and polite, but it is clear that they need atleast one more staff member. At the end, when questioned, the waitress told me they were missing one person. It definitely showed. Everyone was working very quickly trying to do a million things at once and it just put a damper on service from the customers perspective. Food: Absolutely fantastic!! Definitely a 5 star category. Our bill consisted of two perfectly cooked NY strip, salads and sides. As well as the shrimp scampi over penne with French Onion soup, and bacon covered seared scallops. Large, delicious portions. Perfectly timed with delivery. Worth every penny. To clarify the steaks were cooked perfectly to the customers request not to how the chefs saw fit. Very talented kitchen staff! *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED* Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great food but you're likely to get turned away if you have more than 5 people with you. Very rudely too! Maybe you should think about taking reservations if you can't accommodate more than 5 people at a time! What a disappointment read more

My dining partner and I went there on a whim. We absolutely enjoyed our experience. Great atmosphere, waited in quickly and were enjoying our meals in short order. The menu wasn't expansive but had a variety of entrees. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and happy to give a recommendation. The portions were generous. There is no dessert menu and when questioning the waiter he stated that because the portions were so generous, patrons often bypassed dessert altogether. While i found it to be unusual, he was right. Even though there is a bar, it was certainly a family friendly establishment. Will return. read more

I ordered a cheesesteak and fries this past weekend and everything was delicious. The steak was well cooked and tasted great with the melted cheese. The fries were breaded and tasty. We also got wings which were perfectly cooked and the sauce was great. I'm not sure which sauce, since it was someone else's order and they said it was a secret sauce, but whatever it was, it was delicious. We got pickup which was quick and easy and will order again! read more

Please go here!!! Chicken Parmigiana sandwich was the best I've ever had, and that is my all time favorite food. Service was so fast and friendly. Manager/Owner? Never walked past any table without checking if they were in need of anything. Only here for 3 nights but will be back! read more

Screw this place. Haven't done take out on a weekend in about covid time. They don't take reservations either. Such a joke. Some people can't sit and wait for a table for hours. Hire more staff!!!! read more

I'm disappointed at this place. I have heard of good reviews a lot before they move. About Good food and huge portion food. I tried French onion soup, wings, wraps, cheese steak. Wings tasted funky, not fresh. Garlic sauce had over powering with garlic juice from jar of garlic... smilers and ale Mary has much better French onion soup and wings (I am a kind of person judge the place from a typical item such French onion soup). I feel beers are over priced. maybe this place is still poplar for the traditional American menu when the other bars I like have limited unique menu but delicious! Recommend: Hmmm nothing:( read more

Fresh ingredients, generous portions, reasonable prices. My favorite summer dinner is the Signature Salad with grilled shrimp. Easily two meals. And consistency..it's always good! I usually get takeout, but the restaurant is very cute (and clean) and the service is excellent . read more

Loading dock is a great dining and drinking experience. Food is good, temperature is always hot or cold as it should be. If not, the owner Anthony is right on spot and making sure everything is done right. The beer kegs have screens that tell when the keg was tapped how much is left in it and soMe other info on the beer as Well. Wings, clams, salads, steak and all the sandwiches that we've had were great Friendly staff and attentive service. read more

The food here is on the more expensive side but it never disappoints. I've eaten here many times and always enjoyed my food. The service is always great so no complaints there either. Would definitely recommend. read more

We have been a good customer at the Loading Dock for several years and always have gotten good food...good service for a reasonable price. Today, we ordered 4 orders of wings for "game Day". They are the worst we've seen from them, possibly anywhere else for that matter. No taste whatso ever....one...ONE teaspoon of sauce for all the wings...Absolutely the worst.....And what even hurts more...we paid good money for these...they weren't a handout....we expect a level of quality of the food commensurate with what we paid. We most likely will NOT go back....we will spend our dollars elsewhere and get what we paid for........unbelievable !!!!! read more

Starting with lagers at the bar on a Friday night We were greeted with a smile by Tucker. He and Theresa served my friend and I promptly. We asked a couple of questions about items on the menu. The owner,Anthony is very helpful and very hands-on. For starters we had stuffed mushroom with crab meat as an appetizer. The pretzel burger I had medium rare was perfect. Accompanied by a pile of fries. As well as my friends medium rare 12 ounce New York strip steak with portobello mushrooms. Along with salad and choice of vegetable for side.bhu read more

Food was good. Watching at least two other parties receive their food before us when they ordered after was not. That and what seemed to be a double order of pretension with most of the staff will make certain we don't return. Maybe don't whistle tunes to yourself while walking past customers trying to have a conversation. We had been told by many locals that this was the place to go. I don't get the reason for the uppity attitudes especially considering your restaurant is in a dang strip mall. Really disappointed. read more

Just left. I arrived 10 min after my wife. The owner gave her a hard time about where she was sitting at the bar and said for her to move? She said no and he got angry and began throwing chairs around. When I arrived other customers said they saw the behavior and couldn't believe it. Hey these are tough times for restaurants I get it but be thankful, it's tough times for everyone. I have the money and can choose where I spend it and it won't be at the Loading Dock! and you shouldn't either. read more
