    Atmosphere was good. Service was friendly, not great. Didn't get to try food, because the kitchen was closed.

    That's very unusual. We don't hire staff who behave rudely.

    If I could give less than one I would. Customer yelling racial slurs. Staff laughing it off. Good times.

    When you walk in the door, the smell will tell you this is a perfect dive bar. Cash only.

    A chill, clean, somewhat upscale and very fun place to go in downtown Scranton.

    The food was alright. Stick to the basics for this place. My friend said that he thought the wings…read morewere small. I thought they were a fine size. The buffalo sauce was tasty. The really spicy sauce is very spicy and doesn't taste great. We got it on the side which was a good choice. Wing was well-cooked and tender. Bread and butter type of stuff. I enjoyed it. However, I had some of my friend's pizza. Would be fine for kids. I was not a fan. I know NEPA folks have different standards for pizza and it may just not be to my tastes as a born-and-raised Delawarean. (I'm not saying Delaware has excellent pizza). The burger was good. Nothing to write home about. Server was friendly. Cleared the clutter well and very personable. The key to this place is the ambiance and the beers. Great place to watch a game with friends. Perfect amount of patrons. Looks clean and cabin-like. Located outside of Lakeland orchards on the way south. I imagine the place would be receptive to larger parties if you called ahead. TLDR: Overall good experience, go for the vibes and beer. Stick to bar food.

    We were traveling through the area and looked for a local brewery for dinner once we arrived. I…read moremade a quick reservation on Open Table because I wasn't sure how busy it would be. Because of traveling through, we didn't realize it was karaoke night. It was very entertaining but very loud for a family-friendly dinner. I'm no pearl-clutcher, but people were swearing while singing and talking into the microphone in case that is not your thing. The beer was all very good. Probably the most pleasing assortment of beers we've had at a brewery in a while. I had the Whistle Wheat Ale w/ Blueberry. Among the table we also had: Gooseberry Gose, Smooph and Hillclimb Hustle. We ordered tasters of the Mango Habanero and Blackberry Jalapeño. All were delicious. The food mostly got thumbs up. The homemade pickles were SO close to being amazing. They were hammered with salt. I couldn't even finish one of them. Maybe someone went a little heavy with the salt on this batch. The Mushroom Swiss burger had the same issue: something in there was over salted. Not sure if it was while cooking the mushrooms/ onions or in the aioli. Someone at the table ordered the chicken sandwich and it.came out a bit overcooked. For the thumbs up: the Outpost Burger, the pizza, and the Blackened Chicken Fajita wrap. Giving 4 stars because the beer at the heart of the brewery was so good. The food was hit or miss but is worth a stop. Karaoke was funny but listening to the same three people sing over and over - maybe it's not the right entertainment? Or maybe it was a bad night and I'm just a random tourist swinging through town. Totally possible.

    Was looking for dinner after a day at Steamtown. This place was what I was near, and BBQ sounded…read moregood. I did not come to drink any Ale tho, so I can't comment on that aspect. We waited at the front a couple of minutes which was okay considering they seemed busy, but then some party entered and were attended to right away. We basically just followed that party because I overheard the there wwer only tables in the outdoor patio. We were able to establish contact with wait staff out there and so it began. Staff was friendly but service was slow. We were waited on by about 4 different persons, which was a little confusing, but if that what it takes to get served, then fine. Again, I am guessing they were understaffed. We ordered some BBQ ribs which were quite good but the half rack was small IMO. They have nothing on Kansas City, but it was still pretty good. They appear to BBQ their meats on the premises. Ambiance was okay, fine for BBQ and beer. If I lived in Scranton, maybe this place would be on the list of options, IDK.

    Don't come here on Wing Night Wednesday…read more. We made the mistake of coming here on wing night. We got our appetizer, chips and dip. Chips were homemade and burnt... 3/10. Dip was fine, probably out of a packet. Little did we know those burnt chips would be the only thing we would be eating for an hour with little to no refills. Seemed to be forgotten about with us being inside and I guess everyone else in the back. After an hour, our food came out. I got the brisket tacos, they were good. 8/10. My table got a chicken cheesesteak and ask for no mushrooms and ofc it came out with mushrooms... We had to get the wings, the wings were good! An hour wait good? No. 7/10. It took a weird amount of time for our last entree to come out and it was just like chicken tenders on a bun, no love. Oh and the pulled pork sandwich was more like slop. Our waitress's excuse was that they had a new chef. Sooooo I guess they decided to start training this chef during service. Food - 8/10 Service - 5/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Overall - 6/10
