This place was bad. We stopped in for Sunday lunch because of the reviews and historic building. We were sat in the basement where there is no trace of history and even less ambiance. Half way through pur meal the music stopped and the TVs went off. No one addressed it. The menu is limited and uninspired pub fare made to sound special but is really anything but. The jalapeño stuffed mushrooms were made missing most of their ingredients and all of the flavor (no jalapeños or bacon), the burger came with burned dried out bacon and tasted like freezer burn and a dirty flat top, the crab cake sandwich had never seen an ocean and the short rib grilled cheese was cold (which was the last of its problems). The pulled pork nachos didn't make it to the table for more than 15 minutes and needed us to ask the server about them. When they did arrive they were also flavorless and soggy. The sweet potato fries were wet and cold for our table and the one next to us and the server said it'd been a consistent problem and "they just won't stay hot for some reason." The short ribs came with 2 sauces on the side, bbq and a mystery white sauce. The white sauce was so sweet I had a hard time identifying it. After tasting a few times I settled on it being a cup of vanilla pudding or frosting that was mistakenly put on my plate and asked the server. No, it's maple syrup, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and tofu mixed together to be eaten on the sweet potato fries. WHAT?! It was dangerously gross. Server admitted never having tried it because it's "real weird." The only thing we are that was not actively bad was the brie and fig dip. That was really good. Don't eat here. That was a rough meal.

Major disappointment from the beginning. We ordered 2 beers, a water, bruschettta appetizer, and 2 burgers. Spouse asked for medium well (Underground steak burger) and I asked for medium rare ( Broadway burger). The description of my burger was spicy raspberry bacon jam and hot cheese. I never had the bacon jam before and was looking forward to trying this. We were asked how we would like them cooked when we ordered. His was medium rare and mine was well done. Not how we had ordered at the beginning of the order. No spice at all to my burger, asked for hot sauce to compensate. They put labeled toothpicks in the burgers (in photos) for the doneness of which burger is what. So, I am clear that this was a cooking misstep. Spouse asked for another beer when we got the burgers. I never got the water I asked for and, we never received our appetizer. We let the server know this so it could be removed from the bill. When I did get the bill, pic attached, there was a charge for 4 beers, not 3 which was what was ordered. You can also see how the wrong cooking requests were on the bill. Very disappointed for the hype we were given prior to arrival. I am willing to let some things slide but 4 issues is a big deal for me. Anyone that has read my previous reviews of other establishments knows that I am fair when it comes to thing and I am willing to go back and try again. I understand everyone has a bad day but, this was a little too extreme for me. To end with something positive, the staff was nice, place was spotless and very attractive.

Found this restaurant on my first trip to Jim Thorpe and decided to give it a try. The ambiance and vibe of the place good. They had nice music playing and it smelled great as soon as we walked in. I ordered the bean burger, a usual safe pick for new restaurants. The entire experience was great until my food came… this was the absolute WORST black bean burger I’ve ever had. Frozen premade patties are far better than what I was served. The presentation was okay but as soon as I took a bite I immediately regretted my decision. The patty itself had hardly any flavor, was lukewarm, and smashed out the other side of the burger with each bite. It tasted like refried beans from a Mexican restaurant. They advertised the black bean burger as homemade. It really seemed like they took a can of refried beans, molded it into a patty shape, toasted it for a minute, and served it. By the end most of the patty was in a pile on the plate from squishing out the sides. My fries were good and my partners steak burger was good too. All in all, this place smelt great, cool vibe, and clean, but DO NOT order the black bean burger!!! They truly need to either get rid of it all together, or learn how to make a good bean burger!

Service is wonderful and we loved sitting near the fireplace on that cold day. However, the food was meh. We started with Brie and fig dip...and the waitress said it was only Brie in it but it tasted like American and stayed melted way too long for a brie. It was still a nice cheese dip but I really enjoy Brie so it left me disappointed. Hub had the fish n chips...fish was good but chips were more like the end of the basket, small pieces and stubby ends. I got a burger flight and wow! Three full sized burgers! The bacon jam one was the best but the chili was also tasty and the California was just right. Definitely a shareable plate. My biggest beef was that they were frozen patties, not fresh. Overall, the staff and service were wonderful, and the restaurant and downstairs bar are cozy and comfortable. I was just a little disappointed with what they brought to our table, mainly because it was tourist priced. We would eat there again, but this time we won't have our expectations quite so high when we order and we'll plan on a big bill. Sad trombone.

Service and drinks started out wonderfully. Then a large table came in and all servers who were out front left to go after the perceived tip money. After the initial drink and food order, we didn't see our server until we were half way thru our meal (also my large sandwich wasn't cut in half and what a mess that was). She was going to "give us a few minutes" to decide on our next drink order after looking at the menu and I said " don't you go anywhere!" and we quickly ordered beers. She brought them up and then we didn't see her again (probably a good 20-25 minutes). We finally said we would go downstairs and listen to the band and she could find us if she wanted the check paid. She showed up as we were heading down and brought our check. We immediately paid as we were afraid she would disappear again. To the servers: I sincerely hope that large group paid you well and it was worth it. To management: I hope you noticed what your servers were doing.
