Outstanding ... went in on Saturday night, the place was completely packed. Reservations were a good idea. Ordered the prime rib, and it was amazingly good ... paired with a baked potato and asparagus, and it was simply ideal. Incredibly good. Highly recommend this restaurant ... great menu options, excellent environment, and fab food. Check it out. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday at Widows in early March, and we had a wonderful experience. We had a large party and we made a reservation, we were promptly seated at our reservation time with the table already prepared. Our waitress was kind and efficient, she was able to split checks for our large party and handle multiple payments. The live music on a Saturday night was a nice touch The food and drinks were all amazing. Drinks were flavorful and strong, and all the food was delicious. I had the braised pulled pork sandwich and it was divine. The apple butter was an interesting touch that I loved, and I'm a sucker for a pretzel roll. Absolutely delicious. I've lived in the LV my whole life and never heard of this place. I'm definitely a new fan & will be returning. read more

Widow's Tavern And Grille - Braised pulled pork sandwich - New American Near Me - Stockertown, Pennsylvania

Widow's Tavern and Grille is a casual American bar and grill located on Main Street in Stockertown. This neighborhood spot is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday until 11:00 PM, Saturday until 12:00 AM, and Sunday until 8:00 PM. I'd heard a lot of great things about Widow's Tavern and Grille, and the mouthwatering photos I kept coming across gave me the nudge I needed to finally stop in. My friend and I kicked things off with the French onion and chicken parm soups. Served in crocks, they were hot, rich in flavor, and perfectly smothered in gooey melted mozzarella. For appetizers, we enjoyed the mini crab cakes and chicken lemongrass potstickers. The crab cakes were perfectly seared, packed with sweet lump crab, and served on a delicate lemon beurre blanc, and the potstickers were lightly crisp and served with a sweet-and-salty soy-based dipping sauce. For my entree, I went with the blackened chicken pasta, which featured blackened chicken, spicy Alfredo, mushrooms, tomatoes, and penne. The noodles were cooked al dente, and the sauce was creamy and packed with flavor. I was a bit skeptical about ordering pasta, but I'm glad I did, as it exceeded my expectations. My friend went with the Widow's meatloaf, which was juicy, hearty, and well seasoned. It came with a generous serving of creamy mashed potatoes. We wrapped up the meal with tiramisu. While it wasn't homemade, we still enjoyed it. Our server, Dani, was friendly and attentive, and made a great recommendation with the blackened chicken pasta. Between the comforting food, thoughtful flavors, and friendly service, Widow's Tavern and Grille is a place worth coming back to. read more

We hosted a surprise 60th birthday dinner for my mom at Widow's and it was a fabulous evening! The food was incredible! Im still dreaming about the blacken chicken pasta, it was so creamy and delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes were out of this world! Our family had the best time here celebrating my mom. The service was amazing. They took such great care of our large party (20 adults and 2 kids) and were so attentive and pleasant. Widow's has always been a restaurant staple in our family and it was awesome to spend the night at one of our favorite places celebrating my mom. Tommy and Regan went above and beyond to make my mom's night incredibly special! read more

Consistently great food and atmosphere. From salads to sandwiches to entrees, always meets or exceeds expectations. Great staff and service. Always clean. They change menu up every few months, so never the same old menu as many other places that never change. Well done Tom, Reagan and staff. read more

Had a Luncheon there last month for nine of us, so we had several different entrees. The place was larger than we expected and very comfortable. Everything was delicious. We couldn't say enough about the amazing house-made potato chips! Or maybe we couldn't say enough about our server, Cole! He was extraordinary! We will definitely be back! read more

I'm a local who came on Election Day. Nice clean place, and great atmosphere at the bar. I had the Chicken Francaise, (I order it everywhere when on the menu) which was the best I've ever had and worth the price point. Amazing flavor, fresh and just the right portion served with rice that was delicious also. A huge fresh Cesar Salad came with it that was huge and very fresh. A big compliment to the chef who garnished it with roasted tomatoes instead of boring old lemon slices. My husband had a burger and ate it without saying a thing but they were on top of his beer refills which makes him a happy boy. read more

Update to my previous review: They're back! They're better than ever! After hearing from the owner, I visited this long-time favorite with my brother, his wife, and his daughter. We were not disappointed--the menu was a bit different, but we all had great meals. We started with some appetizers--the Fried Mozzarella, using cheese from another local favorite place, Klein Farms, was phenomenal. The dish comes as two large patties, breaded and fried, and easily cut into four portions. We also indulged in some Dry Rubbed Wings, also delicious. My brother let me taste his She-Crab Soup, which was perfect. My sister-in-law and my niece both had the All-American Burger and were happy with their selections. My brother had the Pulled Pork, which he enjoyed as well. The potato chips accompanying the meals were even better than before, lightly seasoned and satisfyingly crunchy. Of course I had to get the English Burger, which was as good as I remembered and was done perfectly. My New Jersey friends and I will be coming back soon. Thank you, Tommy, for your passion in returning Widow's Tavern to its status as a local favorite for us. It was a pleasure chatting with you, and I wish you continued success. read more

Just happened to be driving by and stopped in. Looked busy so I figured the food must be good I had the pulled pork , the flavor was just ok The problem with it was it was very soupy. And the coleslaw was different tasting. I didn't care for it. Not saying it's bad just not for me read more

Great food and great service!! The wait staff were amazing, very accommodating. The food came out quickly and was great!!!

Stopped in for lunch and had the best Turkey sandwich I've ever had! The Smoked Turkey Melt is superb! Also had the French onion soup and that is hard to find any better out there. Love the atmosphere and the service was great too! Highly recommend! read more

Called ahead around 5:30ish. Had made a reservation thru app for a timed reservation... was eventually denied and told no reservations until 7:50 earliest. Asked about bar seating and was told sure there's plenty of room. Got there around 6. 2 seats left. Hostess communicated to us that she'd clean a table and be right with us. Another lady came up to her and they talked and hostess returned and said 15 minutes. Ok. So the 4 of us ordered adult beverages from the impressive Zach and sat down in waiting room. Band shows up to set up their instruments and we jumped up to get out of their way. A shade shy of 7 we finally get seated. Two other parties were seated at the same time. We got menus and they took drink orders. At 7:25 we called the service dead on arrival and left. Still no drinks, no food order put in. To be fair they had a lot of folk eating and enjoying themselves in the dining room, so I would say that they were overwhelmed and short staffed like a few places... but we counted 4 ladies who appeared to work there but avoided our and the 2 other parties tables. The front of the restaurant was running smoothly; the back was dismal for us latecomers. read more

I rarely re-review places but widows has gone rapidly downhill over the past year. I understand Covid pressures etc and many establishments have really shone during this time. I venture that I have been to widows nearly 100 times over the years ( including large groups, wedding rehearsal dinners, business meetings and family) but will no longer go. The staff is rude, their options for my gluten free wife have evaporated, and I have zero reason to spend money here now with so many great restaurants in the area. Good luck. read more

The service was very nice and so was the food. I have been wanting to stop and eat at this place for a very long time it didn't disappoint. I had the tomato mozzarella salad and would have given it a higher rating but the tomatoes were very, very cold. My friends had the steak and burgers and stated that they were very good. The music is a very nice touch. I will return. read more

So happy with The Widow's as our choice of venue for our daughter & son-in-law's baby shower! Tommy & his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. They provided guidance & yet gave us space to make this celebration our own. The staff paced out the afternoon perfectly from salads to main meal to coffee. Our guests loved the food selections--so delicious! When we arrived home, the parents -to -be said that the party was exactly everything they had wished for. Thank you Tommy for working with us & making this event so memorable. read more

The food and service was great. We will definitely be back. The waitress was very nice read more

I love this place, food is outstanding bar and wait staff is wonderful. Keep doing a great job.

My buddy John and I came here on wed. afternoon and had a late lunch and everything was GREAT.....First we met Reagan the bartender and she was nice and very helpful,,,, I had the charbroiled steak sandwich (minus the bread) along with their homemade coleslaw which was excellent and my buddy had the chicken wrap which he also said was excellent ....The bar is very homey and very clean along with the toilets,,,, We met some people there on their front patio area and had a few more cocktails after lunch and had a HOOT.... Next time in the area I will definitly come back and try another item on their menu read more

Another safe bet. I've never had anything here that wasn't good but it's never blown me away either. Beers are good. Food isn't bad. Relaxed bar atmosphere. We like to go here during the week with kids bc we know we won't bother anyone with all the kids. read more

Stockertown, PA. Widow's Tavern & Grille really rolled out the red carpet from start to finish. Steph asked if we could go dine outside somewhere. My original thought was, of course, downtown Bethlehem. Then I remembered a place I have been seeing amazing photographs of on Facebook. I suggested Widow's Tavern. It was only a 30 minute ride from Emmaus. I must first say Thomas Leauber & his staff are first class hospitality rock stars. From start to finish, we were completely taken care of -- from messaging ahead to reserve outdoor seating, to our parting "see you next time" -- we couldn't have felt more provided for and looked after. Tommy was the consummate professional, less of a server and bartender and more of a luxury automobile salesman. He took the time to ask me what I was thinking while reading the menu, and also was quick to offer his recommendations based upon my reaction to what I was in the mood for. I really appreciate that. He offered his personal input on every dish I ordered. Most places are strict order taking robots... not at Widows. We started off with the wedge salad , which was tremendous! Great chunky house made bleu cheese dressing with added crumbles. The bacon was plentiful chopped small but thick. Brandon Haydt you must try this one! It's was huge, I had to bring half home. We had the Lehigh Valley's legendary Calandra's Fried Mozzarella. I got the full run down on how they source it. This fried mozzarella cheese was worth the half hour trip itself. So crisp on the outside & creamy and decadent on the inside. The sauce was also pretty good. That's a bold statement coming from an Italian . The honey brined wings were very well executed. I ordered as hot as they can possibly make. They were of good size, very crisp and meaty. The sauce wasn't very hot, but had decent flavor. The honey brine is a unique process which I appreciate. It was however slightly too sweet for my personal taste. Steph, on the other had, couldn't get enough. If your a hot & honey person, you must try these. The homemade potato chips were absolutely amazing. I would bath in the house made ranch if it was socially acceptable. The house made blue cheese dip was equally amazing, touting a hint of Old Bay. The mini crab cakes were decent, the beurre blac sauce was so dam good. I'd like that with some fish next trip. We moved into the bar after dinner for a night cap, and there was a great wholesome energy there. The bourbon & scotch selections were on point... Eagle Rare to end the evening. Overall experience /5 Tell Tommy, who is there everyday, #rushieeats sent you! #610dining read more

Staff is always nice, food is always amazing! Restaurant is cozy and clean. One of my favorite places to go for some comfort food!

Outside there is a sign come in plenty of tables. We get inside and "do you have a reservation" Seriously? There were many empty booths and tables. They decide to seat us and we order drinks. No cognac ! Only two kinds of brandy. The Long island ice tea was so watered down it was almost clear. Disappointing bar. We order appetizers and my husband excuses himself to use the restroom. He returns to say there is one restroom and some upstairs. Ok?.. He elaborated the one restroom in the area you sit is handicapped, so he went to the upstairs restroom. Ok ?.. He proceeds to telk me there are no doors just a box built around the toilet that is only shoulder height and its broken, the other is also filthy and broken. When he used the sink the pipes began to rattle and shake violently. This is not a good representation of cleanliness nor pride in this old building. The paper towel dispenser, broken. The Widow burger sounded delicious with fried mozzarella and sauce but it was literally flavorless. My husband was so disgusted he refused to eat his food there. One good thing, the french fries. read more

Not sure how this place has 3 stars!!! Widow's has some of the best food I've ever had...hands down best caesar salad I've ever had, and I have eaten here a lot! read more

Food was ok. Service was awful. I got the impression that the servers were mad that people were actually sitting for dinner and they all wanted to hang out in the bar. No big crowd in the dining room either, so that is no excuse. Really rude, very inattentive. We won't be back. read more

Great service. Food was very good. Enjoyable dining experience, definitely will be back

I will never go back to Widow Brown's. I was seated last night at 530 pm. The place was not to busy. My wife and I waited 20 mins. The waitress that worked the booths around us. She could not take a moment to acknowledge our existence. She came and left at least 12 times and could not stop even to take out drink order. So waiting for 20 mins we gave up and left. I tried to say something to hostess and she ignored me and kept going. Don't waste your time and money at Widow Brown's. read more

Ate here a second time after a bad first experience. Staff not very friendly. Hostess was extremely rude. Food order was incorrect and when asked for it to be fixed, received bad attitude. I figured it may have been a bad night and tried again. Same bad service. Even was asked to move to a smaller uncomfortable table as they were having a "VIP" coming in. Will not return read more

Such a shame. This place has really gone downhill. We tried to enjoy our New Year's Eve dinner here with family, but we were very disappointed. The fried chicken had so much breading that it was hard to taste the chicken, the burger that I ordered medium-rare came out well-done, and the burger that my nephew ordered medium-well came out medium rare. The calamari was pretty good, though. The service was terrible. They weren't very busy but our waitress couldn't be bothered to check on us. My nephew's burger didn't come out until 20 minutes after the rest of the meals had been served and we all had finished eating. To compensate him, they offered a free dessert. He chose the molten lava cake, which had 4 pieces of white plastic in it. Our server was unapologetic and said it must be plastic from the ice cream tub. Adding insult to injury, they automatically tacked on a 20% gratuity (for the lousy service) and then had the gall to print suggestions for an additional gratuity to be added, ranging from 15 to 25%! I was tempted to deduct the gratuity altogether since the service was awful, but then I remembered when the Lehigh Pub had a couple arrested when they refused to tip for horrible service. We paid our bill and the 20% "gratuity" forced upon us, but we will never return. read more

Waited a long time for server & she didn't introduced herself, took a long time for drinks, ordered the charcuterie board for app. & the cheese was sour, meat was fatty & dry.. not worth $20.. told server & she didn't seem to care...crab cake seemed to have filler...no manager ever came around to ask how things were...probably not be going back.. read more

Our group booked a party for 20-25 people. We went in to talk to the owner one week prior to let him know we were only going to have 18-20 people. We were served salads and then a buffet. After 16 of us ate there were 2 pieces of beef and 5 pieces of chicken left. We were then charged for 25 people. Owner was aggressive and unwilling to listen to anything or anyone. Ended up paying for 22 and were never offered the extra food we were forced to pay for. Absolutely ridiculous. read more
