Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

ordered the House Salad and was asked if I wanted a large one (???) I wanted the $12- one which included Field greens, candied nuts, goat cheese, strawberries, mandarin orange, house dressing and asked for add of grilled chicken. To my dismay the salad was...mostly field greens. NEEDED MORE of everything else. 5 nuts, 1/2 tsp of cheese, 2 strawberries cut up, and 4 small pcs of smushed up mandarin orange just didn't cut it for me. Oh and the size of the grilled chicken was super small too. The dressing was good but I had a horrible garlic taste in my mouth about an hour later. Service and seating was good thou. I only wish I took a photo of it for the record.More

We haven’t been back in a long time. We stopped for lunch. Service was great. I had the shaved prime rib sandwich and it was huge and good. My wife and daughter got the salmon able. Salmon and avocado with bacon and tomato. They both...really liked the sandwich. Drinks were good. We come hear whenever we are in town.More

We happened to go on a weeknight when they had another large group in the front dining room. I have been stopping here since it was Sunset Grove, when it was good ! For many years this name was associated with an excellent experience but...a few years ago all that changed with new ownership. We have been there twice since and both times the food was terrible. The ast time was October 2023 for dinner. Both of our meals were horrible and the service matched. No one was available to talk to when we were finished , only another server who brought the ridiculous check. How do they get away with these high absorbent prices for such a terrible meal ? I will never go back .More

After reading some of the reviews I was a little hesitant, but boy am I glad we stopped here. Amy our server was a delight. The food was fantastic. I had the Halibut, I highly recommend it. My husband had the chicken and waffles and...he had some left over. So I’m not sure what a previous guest got, but this was most definitely not a chicken finger. We had the pot stickers and calamari apps, both were very good and just the right size. If we are ever in the area again, will return!More

Husband & I stopped here for dinner mid-week. While the decor & hostess/waitress were very nice, the meal was not. His onion soup was so lukewarm that he could't even cut through the cheese with a knife. My seafood bisque was pretty good. I ordered...scallops $33.00(surprisingly not shown in online menu) it was 4 that were ok but the risotto it was on wasn't cooked properly & kinda crunchy. They did not have the flat iron steak that shows on the menu online but a filet instead. It was a $42.00 small piece of tasteless meat ,not a filet! It was so thin they put it on top of a pile of steak fries to make it appear bigger. We would never go back!More

I had to ask for a glass for the beer I ordered and the glass was dirty as were all of the glasses at the table. Same for the silverware. It went downhill from there. My Tuna steak was medium rare but really dry. My...son-in-law’s hamburger was raw and by the time the the server got around again, everyone else was half done their meal. She said she would take it off the bill but I had to send the bill back because she didn’t.More

There is lots to like here- location, good beer selection, nice bar, clean restrooms, etc. Thats what brought me back on my lake visits. But this visit was disappointing- Lobster raviolis were tasty but the filling well… I couldn’t tell! I would not have again....The dinners rolls were either not fully baked or poorly reheated.. they were not eaten. The salad was good… but that’s expected anyway. So after not being overwhelmed by my evening thus far… i got my bill which I promptly handed back with my credit card… than I noticed the total on the receipt i had to sign was greater than the original. When asked… it was than i learned of the 4% up charge of cards. FOUL.. that should be told up front.More

This restaurant was owned by Woodloch Pines up until a year or so ago and had very high standards. Once it was sold it went downhill fast. Now its just a shadow of its former self living off past reputation. The restaurant that received a...Travelers Choice award no longer exists. Food is uninspired and of poor quality. Restaurant was way understaffed when I was there recently. There are better options.More

I will not be going back! I don't usually complain, I take the high road but....I drove 25 minutes to have lunch, first the waitress brings me a 1/2 glass of wine (from the high end wine by the glass) and informs me that's all...they have, and she will bring me something else if I want. I ordered an eggplant appetizer and waited, she did come back once and ask if I wanted anything else and I said, no just the eggplant, trying give here the benefit of the doubt, I waited 40 minutes and when I asked where it was she said she never put the order in, she said she didn't hear me? Service was awful, never got to try the food so I cannot speak to that, wine was awful as well.More

The food is very good but the menu noted that coleslaw was the side. Our server said they didn't have any and when we asked for a substitute she said that she could offer a side salad for $4. Off putting. The menu offered a...selection of draft beers but there was no draft beer available (on a major football day!) Service was slow since the overworked server seemed to be the only one. Would we go back? Yes, but still we were disappointed.More

We docked our boat at their dock on Lake Walkenpaupack and walked a short way to the restaurant. We were four in our party and arrived at 4:45pm and were seated with a short wait and with no reservation. It got crowded shortly afterwards and...there were too many people waiting for a table, I would recommend reservations. This was a Saturday. The items on the menu were enough that everyone could find something they liked. The food was good, the atmosphere was also.More

If I could have give 3 1/2 stars I would have. The Servers were very good - friendly, polite, helpful. The ambience (outside on the patio) was relaxed and enjoyable. The Calamari appetizer - very good. The chicken in the fried chicken sandwich was good...- not dry at all, but two pieces of chicken plus a hamburger bun was too much - drop the price to $15 and just serve with one piece of chicken; the cole slaw was bland. Main issue was with the fish and chips - coating was not crispy but biggest problem was that the fish had no consistency - it was almost pasty which was just weird and not enjoyable, and the reason for the lowish rating.More

To my knowledge none of the local boat tours allow unscheduled stops. However the Boat House does have available dock space for individual watercraft.
