Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Wilkes-Barre Township – 2024

Food was decent, ordered medium well and almost got a rare burger, was super greasy and not too delicious but what can you do. Beer was good. Waitress was good and took care of us, so that was a plus.

We were excited to stop by on Friday evening and pleasantly greeted by the hostess who opened the door for us and welcomed us. She was super sweet, polite and offered us a table but we opted for the bar. We immediately appreciated the atmosphere and agreed it was a cool place. Then we sat down. There were 6 people at the bar so not empty, but not full. We remarked that we must have gotten lucky to hit it while it was empty on a Friday night. But the bartender, Katie, was inattentive. So we thought, that was probably why it wasn't packed. It likely was packed prior to us getting there though because the glasses were stacked sky high behind the bar and on the bar, waiting to be washed. Where we sat down was sticky and hadn't been wiped down and Katie made no effort to do so. I did ask for a napkin to wipe it down and she gave it to me. After a while she asked if we'd like a drink and bright us menus, we ordered what is supposed to be the "specialty item" for Miller's, the zingers mountain something or other. It was a small order of loaded fries with chicken strips. They were dry, like jerky, dry, chicken strips. We got a salad and a burger for dinner. The burger looked good and didn't taste bad. The salad was pretty sad. I took a picture. The lettuce was wild and brown. The manager came out and knowingly avoided making eye contact when he saw my plate. At one point Katie did all if about the beer my husband was not drinking- there was a really strong smell of yeast around the bar, and apparently the taste of his beer denoted that the lines to the taps needed cleaning - but otherwise did not bother with us through the entire visit unless it was absolutely necessary. I hope it was just an off night. It's a cool place and the menu had a lot of potentially tasty things on it. Just not the salad, for sure.

We waited nearly an hour for food. The location was not extremely busy. We were a group of 6. Our server made sure we had drinks and kept checking in but our food took forever. We got the chicken fingers over fries. 2 orders both had lukewarm chicken. They tasted good flavor wise but it was not hot at all. Our dinners cane out almost immediately. Most were hot but another chicken dish came out cold. The manager offered to make a new one, but we never do that. It's a personal preference, not an indication of known poor kitchen practice.

I had an incredible experience with Rhianna at Smokey Bones! She’s hands-down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered. Not only was she attentive and fast with our drinks, but she also made us feel right at home with her friendly personality and genuine enthusiasm. Her recommendations were spot on, and she crafted each cocktail with such skill and care. Rhianna truly elevated our visit, and we’ll definitely be back because of her! If you’re looking for a fantastic bartender and a great night out, make sure to ask for Rhianna at Smokey Bones.

The service was great and the place was clean. We were seated quickly and had our order very fast. The food was ok but it wasn't something that made me want to come back. It reminded me of something I could have gotten from the grocery store and put in the microwave. We had brisket, chicken, baked beans, fried pickles, and some other sides. It's worth trying for yourself.

The food was very good. Everything came hot and just as it was described on the menu. I do want to give a shout out to the wait staff. Our server was amazing. He made us feel right at home. I'm in the business my entire life and I just want to give credit to servers who go out of their way to make your experience enjoyable. He made myself, my mom, and grandson all feel at home. The name on my receipt was Rahaaan. He did a great job!

I used to love this olive garden. I really did. But I went in tonight and bought a couple of meals. I have to drive almost 2hrs to get here. I got the minestrone soup with my order... Literally only three shells in the soup. I really only get this for the shells. I would've appreciated for someone to let me know we don't have enough shells. Would you like a salad or another soup. It sucks because I really wanted a hot soup for such a cold day especially after working 10hrs. The rest of the food gave me and my fiancé a stomach ache. So clearly the chef was not in a good mood that day. So I'm officially done with olive garden all together it was the only location I would go to because the Dickson city location is worse.

Our evening at Olive Garden was truly delightful. Surrounded by family and friends, we savored a wonderful meal accompanied by impeccable service. The entire experience was exceptional, and we feel thankful for the joyous moments shared in that warm and welcoming family friendly atmosphere.

idk what’s going on there but the whole restaurant smells like old rotten carpet and cheese! maybe instead of wasting the staff’s time with ridiculous table tablets you could put some money into cleaning and updating the restaurant… anyway the lasagna fritta was tight

I had an amazing first visit to Mission BBQ! The staff was incredibly friendly, and they really took care of me. They offered samples of their products, which was a nice touch, and I even received a free sandwich and birthday card to use anytime. To top it off, they gave me a free dessert! The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Wow! First time here. The service was amazing!! Tristan patiently explained the whole menu to us and answered questions before we ordered. Mike brought our meal quickly, explained all the sauces, and brought us extra things we asked for. He checked on us 2 or 3 times and cleared our trays as soon as we finished. The brisket was beautifully marbled and tender and the pulled pork sandwich was flavorful and moist! 4 out of 5 stars because the food was not steaming hot. Otherwise, a great experience!!

Don't try to order the wings, apparently they are only ready after 7 pm. Ordered a burger because, because the wings are only available after 7 p.m. I was told I got the last burger, it was 6 p.m. First the bun was like it just came out of the freezer, flung that to the side. I cut into the burger it was like a hockey puck. the inside was gray, must have sat there for a while. They they wrapped raw ground beef on top of the puck. seared it and served it to me. $37.00 dollars for my disgusting burger and a chicken sandwich meal. To throw the entire burger in the trash. I was offered a replacement meal but to be honest I didn't want anything else they were serving. It would have been nice to get the money back for the burger, that was never offered. Purchased the cups that when you return a donation is made. Threw those in the trash also. Will NEVER go back to this place.
