Buddy Clarke’s Tavern — Restaurant in Dunmore

Sorry I didn't take pictures of the food, but I was incredibly hungry. The pub pretzels were fantastic, mostly because of the honey mustard, which was certainly not ones traditional idea of a honey mustard, it had a perfect balance of flavor without being over powering. The same can be said for the spicy marinara that came with the mozzarella moons, certainly spicier than I was expecting, but not too spicy. The smash burger was phenomenonal, not enough places in the area do smash burgers. I'd argue the garlic aioli on it didn't have that much of a garlic flavor, but I feel like too much would have overpowered and ruined the burger. The candied bacon on the burger was slightly overcooked for my taste, but candied bacon can be difficult not to burn with all the sugars. We also got bone in wings; the jerk wing sauce was delicious, I wish the wings were a bit crispier, but every place does it different and I don't like to ask for crispy wings on my first venture. The wings were also a good size, not jumbo and not disappointingly tiny. They were a solid meaty average size wing. The service was absolutely fantastic, the bartender did a great job both talking to us and knowing when to give us some space. We will definitely be back. Between the food, service, and general atmosphere, this is one of the best bars in the area to relax with a drink...

I have been here quite a few times as my friends and I really enjoy coming here for drinks and to hang out, however I am baffled at the service we received tonight. When we got there we found seats at the end of the bar and we were completely ignored for about 15 minutes even tho there were two girls standing directly in front of us talking to their pal who happened to be sitting adjacent from us. Finally we were asked if we wanted menus and drinks. We got our drinks and placed a food order. We waited about 45 minutes for our food and not once did they check on us to see if we needed anything. Once we were done eating (still without either one of them ever coming over to check) the rude bartender (Nicole k) printed our check and slammed it down on the bar and walked away. Mind you we never even asked for our check since we weren’t done, but I guess she wouldn’t know that since she never bothered to ask. I work in the service industry myself and was in complete and utter shock and could NEVER imagine treating customers the way she and her blonde friend did. No customer service, no personality, nothing but rudeness. Kelsey was amazing like always. Very aware of her surroundings and proficient. Maybe the other two should take some tips from her bc I’m sure they’re not tipped well if that’s how they...

Was an okay time. However the bartender seemingly did not know how to make many drinks, also they could not make two of the drinks on the list due to it being out. I mean perhaps we should have looked some up on our phone and been more specific however this is and was never an issue at any other bar.

The poor bartender was also the only one working in a very packed bar so obviously felt pretty bad for her. She was still very kind and did her best to make everyone happy with the circumstances of being understaffed, for whatever reason.

We got a grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad and that was very delicious. Obviously don't want to give this kind of rating here and i am sure it's better other nights. Perhaps it was due to the fact of it being a Sunday night. This place is very nice inside and well lit, i also have to say. A beautiful long bar, with table seating also available. Perhaps will be able to change this rating, next time.

Edit: owner did reach out to help and make things right. Which is extremely thoughtful of him I had thought I just have not had the time to...
