They have a chef who has culinary training. The meals taste like everything is prepared with perfect seasoning and it's all fresh. You get good service with very polite waiters. I have never had a bad meal here. You can see they are on top of things here which is nice. The people here are well trained and its very smooth. I always ho there when I want a nice dinner experience that is special. If you want casual and fun, then you can go to the Tiki Bar outside. They make Margharita pizzas fresh and they are delicious. Or you can order from their menu. You cam eat outside because they have a tables with umbrellas that are nice. They are new and not old. So it's really a nice family atmosphere because it's right next to the pool. It's very summery and a vacation type ambiance. read more

Family trip to Masthope and spent one day at the pool. The Tiki Bar was so nice and had a vast array of beverages, appetizers, salads, wraps, meals, and kids meals. Lots of chicken tenders & fries, wings, shrimp cocktail and Shirley Temples. My sister in law ordered the Tiki Summer Salad which was delicious, and I got the Fish Tacos, which are a nice beer Battered Cod with Tropical Mago Salsa, Chili Garlic Aioli, Shredded Romaine, and Grilled Flour Tortillas. The tacos hit the spot and the margaritas complimented the lunch well. Later in the day we ordered a Chardonnay. Overall we were very pleased with our visit and look forward to going back. The service was excellent, though it did take time as the Tiki area was crowded during the day. read more

To start, the food was great, there was no problem with that. I got the bourbon cheesesteak and it was delicious. Our server was the issue. Her name was Alyssa I believe and we saw her like two or three times the whole time we were there to eat. She took our drink orders, brought them and then disappeared for like 20 minutes, didn't even ask if we were ready to order or if we needed anything within that time. Then she came back to take our food orders, and that was the last time we saw her until we were done with our food and she drive-by style asked how our food was. Then brought our checks another 10-15 minutes after seeing we finished our food. I finally get the check and see on the bill that she charged me for swapping fries for onion rings; even though when I asked her if it would be extra to swap them, she told me no. When I asked her about it she was pretty rude and defensive saying she never recalled saying there was no extra charge even though the whole table did in fact hear her say it wouldn't be extra. Then she walked away with the checks and didn't take the extra charge off the bill. Her not coming to the table throughout the meal, fine, I'll find someone else and ask them for what I need, but the fact that she was rude about the miscommunication and then didn't even offer to take the charge off the bill ON TOP of that is what really made me mad. read more

Love this place, the staff is beyond amazing! Wish I lived near here full time! The food is great. Huge fan of the Buffalo wings, the best I've had, order them every time I'm here. read more

Here is a photo of the harvest salad which is roasted beets and sweet potatoes and shredded Brussels sprouts. Salad came with about 8 pieces of beets and sweet potatoes and no sprouts. See actual photo of the pieces Appetizer of roasted Brussels sprouts- it was so under cooked the sprouts were raw inside. Atmosphere was nice but food sucked read more

The summit is a staple every time we are in town. Very consistent food and friendly staff. I enjoy the specials. Seems like they put thought and effort into their specials menu. The regular menu has something for everyone. Honestly never had a bad meal here read more

Okay food, but good for what's available in the area. My family rented an AirBnb for a weekend in Lackawaxen, and while we saw a lot of good spots in the area for breakfast and lunch, options for dinner seem slim. We loved how extensive and affordable the menu is. Lots of different kinds of dishes = great for big groups. Very spacious, which I appreciate living in Boston where seating in most restaurants are very limited, and wait times can easily be 2+ hours. Staff here are also friendly. We weren't super impressed with the food (some dishes were way to salty, others were way too bland), but we were just happy to have a dinner option that tailored to the different tastes of my family. read more

The Summit Restaurant - Grilled chicken sandwich. Just okay. Fries were good though! - New American Near Me - Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania

I've added a picture of my chicken piccata for $23. I would have called it an small plate boiled chicken with a few thin slivers of zucchini served as a dinner entree. Staff are great but the food needs a complete overhaul. read more

Dana is our new favorite waitress! The food is the star of the show here, though. Joe, the manager is the nicest guy and he runs a friendly, family-focused place! read more

Food was ok, service was good, it was very loud in the dining area as it is right next to the bar and people were quite loud. I had the turkey dinner and the turkey gravy was so salty I had to scrape it off. The rest of the meal was nice, and the Moscow mule was good. Just watch the salt level if you order gravy. read more

I won't even grace this place with one star - food was horrible - tasteless, bland. Service was even worse - took forever to get our food - second drink order never came and we had to ask twice for the bill. Several people walked out because their waitress never came. read more

Staff is the best! We are Masthope home owners and busy the summit all the time. Never disappointed. The staff treats you like family. The beer is cold the food is always on point. Would like to see Chicken and Steak Tidbits added to the menu. read more

This is a cozy restaurant with a menu that gets better every season. Joe and his team do a great job. It's great all year long and especially during a day of skiing. Dana was our fabulous waitress tonight. read more

The Summit Restaurant - Nice bar with a fireplace - New American Near Me - Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania

Had some drinks at the bar with an app. Drinks were good, though I should have stated my bourbon preference. Wanted more of a ski lodge feel, bar felt tucked back and a bit dark. Bartender was very good, service was good. read more

Food was good as we're the drinks. Although the bar tenders are inconsistent you won't get the same mixed drink made the same way twice although they were all good. The place is very bright I could read the menu without my reading glasses not a bad thing but turn down the little spot lights a bit. Ps the place is not called the rapids anymore read more

Ordered takeout. Had difficulty getting into the actual restaurant because there are cones blocking everything. I was supposed to get a text when the food was ready, but never received it. Went to pick up the food and the hostess seemed confused about me wanting to pay for the food. She put the food down on a table and then walked away. I had to call her back to ask how I pay. It was with her but she acted like it was annoying for me to ask. Next time I'll just walk out. Haha. Pizza was okay (only place open near us on a Monday). Wings (medium) were pretty decent. I'd order again but maybe try to pay over the phone next time (they hung up before I could this time). read more

The Tiki bar is open! My husband and I had a perfectly cooked burger in a great setting. The Masthope Summit Tiki bar has a great summer menu with burgers, tacos, Asian bowls, pizza and much more. Check it out! read more

We ate here our first night of our stay-- chicken with jammer topper and my husbands maple glaze pork chop special were amazing. Specials were to start Friday for the week. Came back tonight so I could get the pork chop on a night i was more hungry and they were sold out already How do you have a weekly special that runs out 3 days into the "week"? read more

We all had a great meal. There were some changes to the menu and I couldn't decide what I wanted. The salads all sounded delicious but I decided on the avocado appetizer since I never had cooked avocado before. It was delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and I would highly recommend it. The nachos were plenty. The burger and wings perfect! The service was great! Very friendly. We will for sure be back to try the new additions to the menu! read more

A solid 4. This is the only year round restaurant in the community. The food is always good at the very least. Many times it's excellent, but pale pizza crusts and greasy fried fish pushed it down a star. read more

The restaurant itself is fine, they have a huge selection of dishes on the menu and the food is good. But the blond hostess in the frond is just beyond unprofessional, mean and rude. She ruins the whole experience and shouldn't have this job having such attitude. read more

** updated August 2017 ** Was just in masthope last week and have upgraded my review to 4 stars! The drinks at the pool have become a lot stronger, so I'm happy to pay the extra price. The portions of sweet potato fries have also gotten larger. Finally, their new chicken tacos are the best I've ever had. Ordered them twice over a two day period! Old review: I've been coming to the Summit for a few years now. The food is generally pretty good, but I found some things really disappointing: - their portions of speciality fries are tiny. I'm not interested in paying an addition $2.99 to get 7 sweet potato fries with my burger - their mixed drinks are expensive and contain almost no alcohol Some of the waiters can be super rude, too. I'd give it a solid 3/5 stars read more

The food was good but the wait staff was horrible. I had a PA team shirt on and one of the staff members kept coming back to smack talk my team. He didn't hesitate to curse even though we had two children with us under the age of 5. He did not deserve the tip I gave him. read more

We love coming there everytime we are near by. Love Chef John's specials and they are different each week. Saturday night create your own pasta night. During summer they have Tiki bar outside by the pool. read more

The food is good. We started with a cheese quesadilla, which was okay. It was cooked perfectly but it lacked flavor, maybe b/c there wasn't a lot of filling. I would have preferred housemade salsa, but it's not a Mexican restaurant. Yo quiero Taco Bell - no, no, it's not *that* bad. I had a BLT, which was quite tasty, but there was slightly too much bread for the amount of BLT on the inside. But the ingredients were fantastic. The fries were good. My one friend had a bowl of chili. It was housemade and tasted fine. My other friend had penne pasta alfredo. It was good. The service was good. The view is amazing! Was it a memorable meal? Not really. Will we be back? Almost certainly, since it's the only restaurant in the community! read more

Great food. Great service Joe the Manager is super nice. We just bought a house in masthope and we are very happy that sich a great place to eat is so close. We will be back many many times read more

Wow what a great place ski have a great meal The crab cake is to die for ..... the pizza WOW Most of all the sun dried tomatoe Al a vodka with shrimp omg where have you been...yum Make this place one of your stops read more

Very average or somewhat worse. Pleasant staff who put up with 4 children from 2-11. Crab cakes lousy. Rib roast barely rare with odd taste (frozen?). Fish and chips was best. Not too expensive so consider it just one very average meal out of our lives. read more

I did not expect this at a ski lodge. The food is fantastic, the prices are more than reasonable. Miles above the other local fare, but the truth is that this place would stand out anywhere. read more

Another commentator said the same thing I'm about to. STICK TO THE BAR FOOD! I ordered the tuna and it was supposed to be rare. There was barely an ounce of pink on the thing! It seemed like they just threw a frozen filet on the burner. Another member of our party ordered the steak, medium rare....same thing....his steak was well done! The pizzas were good and the service was very good. read more

We only go here when desperate and don't want to drive to town. Stick with the bar food - any of their attempts at anything else will be a disappointment. Awhile back we were charged extra for some sour cream ( it same with none) for a quesadilla and the last time we went my pc of chicken was about the size of a deck of cards. read more

Rude, rude, rude. My sister, her boyfriend, and my brother-in-law, who is an owner at Masthope, were waiting for a table in the bar while the rest of us were coming into the restaurant. Bil was told, by the manager, that he had to order food to use a hightop in the bar, no problem, so they were going to order nachos but no waitress ever showed up to take a food order. When we had all arrived, I inquired about a waitress to take our order. The hostess with the short dark hair and glasses, came over with a mega attitude, saying that you have to be seated by the hostess to use the table and order food. Well, my brother in law explains that he was told that he just needed to order food to use the table, she got an attitude with him instead of explaining the misunderstanding. She got very rude and asked us where our menus were and when we tried to explain what we were told by the manager, she got very indignant and told us she would not serve us. My sister went and tried to speak with her, but she was also rude to her, complaining that people have been giving her an attitude. Not our problem. She walked away and then my sister spoke to the manager who the seated us. We have also had problems recently as last night making to-go orders, being rudely told that the order would take a long time and actively trying to dissuade us from ordering. Bartenders and servers are excellent, hardworking, nice, and attentive. But the hostess is RUDE RUDE RUDE. There are many other excellent restaurants in the area who actually appreciate their customers. read more

We have a vacation house in masthope we can walk up to the restaurant any time always a great time. Service is great never empty handed

This was my 1st time here and the food was ok! The waiter didn't bring one of my friends there food. The music was low we couldn't hear it. They had bingo going on next to the dinning room. My Margarita was watered down and nasty. Over all experience wasn't good! read more

My family and I always enjoy lunch here after skiing. We love the bourbon cheesesteaks and duck wing appetizer! We also enjoy the french onion soup and nachos. We will definitely be back! read more

What a pleasant surprise. Went with friends and was our first time back in a few years. Service and food were excellent. The special appetizers were quite good and the Tuna in a corn crisp was a delight. Now that Joseph G is back the restaurant will hopefully continue to stay as a place to return to. Will definitely be back. read more
