    French onion soup presented well.
    Loving L.

    The staff works really hard and appears to work well together. I was super impressed that the owner takes an active role in what is going on. The atmosphere was nice and a warm classic feel. The food was large portions. However I did not love the food. The medium steak came out medium well with a burned crisp outside very seasoned. The French onion soup, people around us really said they enjoyed, I did not. Overall, I thought the food was overly seasoned and so the taste of the actual food was over powered.

    Shrimp and crab dip
    Christine D.

    I've been to the Loading Dock several times and I'm finally writing a review. The food is always great here, that explains why there's always a wait for a table. They serve generous portions and you're sure to take some food home for leftovers. I've heard the owner gets a bad rap, but you know what? Running a business is hard, let alone a restaurant. I've never seen a restaurant owner so dedicated, that he's pitching in and constantly moving throughout the night and supporting his staff. Whether he's serving food from the kitchen like a waiter or wiping a table/chairs off for new customers, he's always right there working hard. As I said before, the food is always good quality with large portions. However, we ordered the shrimp and crab dip and it was kind of gross. This was nothing but Old Bay flavored Velveeta cheese with bread. BUT my salad was amazing and made up for the poor appetizer choice. I feel in love with this salad so hard, that I finished the entire thing, and started buying the same ingredients in the grocery store so I could keep eating it at home throughout the next two weeks. Would I return? Of course, it's a local staple.

    Secret sauce chicken wings
    3than H.

    First of all, the food was very good. The portions are insane for the price. Our waitress was friendly and the food came out really quick. The secret sauce wings were an exceptional main, the potato skins were a great app. There were probably 4-5 potatoes in the dish, it was huge! The only issue was the host's attitude upon arrival. I understand that the restaurants kitchen closed at 8, but we did not need to receive such an attitude about it. However, he did redeem himself as time went on. I understand that he could be stressed at the closing time but there really was no need for such an attitude. Overall, it was a very solid experience and I recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before the kitchen closes. Unbeatable value and great vibes once you're seated.

    Sampler, very good!
    Shirin P.

    Food was good and plentiful, service not so much. The host was friendly but that's were the service stopped! Our Server seemed annoyed that she had to serve us. I don't know if I loved the crowd. Two of the patrons, from different groups, were coughing heavily which made us very uncomfortable. You'd think after the pandemic, and what we've been through, people would be more considerate and dry home if they're that sick, but I guess not in Scranton. I know this is not the restaurants fault but it ruined our experience.

    French dip

    I ordered the French dip. Was very yummy. I ate half the sandwich prior to the photo. On the saltier side but I enjoyed it!

    My clients decided to get lunch from this location and I had to pick it up at 11:45. When I arrived I parked in the plaza parking lot. I walked in and waited around for the server. She came up and greeted me. I told I was there for pick up. The price was about $80 for several items and that was great. When I got to the car I endulged and the vegetable wrap was good and so was the fries. All in all I enjoyed.

    Tons of beers, large portions, good food, attentive staff. Usually very busy so go expecting a crowd but everything is well spaced.
