Trax Bar & Kitchen — Restaurant in Scranton

I must say that this one was of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. We attempted to go for lunch at Carmen's (also at the station) but they had just stopped serving. Although I used to go to Trax a few years ago I had seen some negative reviews online, and the last time I had gone there it was really going downhill. I was completely against having lunch there again. As we were about to leave the new manager (J.R.) came over and struck up a conversation telling us that it is now under new management. He pointed out how things had changed and the various events coming up. He said that we really should give Trax a try. If it hadn't been for his supremely pleasant demeanor and gentle insistence, we would have walked out. He even walked us back and said "Get ready to be WOWED". He was not kidding. The menu selection is wonderful. I suppose you could call it standard pub fare on steroids. It was truly marvelous. The chips and fries are out of this world! Everything was cooked to perfection and the staff couldn't have been nicer. There are a few really good eateries in Scranton and this is certainly a place that will join the ranks at the...

I wasn't expecting much as I stayed at the Raddison when traveling to Scranton and have eaten here often. The food was always "ok" but nothing to write home about.

We met me daughter and boyfriend here for lunch and were really pleasantly surprised. The food was all really really good.

The Starters: The chili was hearty and had great flavor. I gathered that the bang bang shrimp was good, I have shellfish allergies so couldn't try but the fact that they were devoured in seconds it was pretty obvious that they were a hit. (Note, you can see the difference in my pic from the same dish 4 months ago,) The meatballs were sooo good. My only complaint was that I had to share.

Our meals were equally as good if not better. Our wraps, salads and burgers were all excellent. My wife was commenting on how fresh her burger was. I saw the fries with blue cheese and wing sauce and since I can't recall ever seeing that on a menu, which is typically how I pick my dinner choices. I was glad I did. It was simple but a combination I wouldn't have thought of that compleimented my wedge salad perfectly (side note, best housemade blue cheese I've had in...

I was staying at the Radisson, which is a beautiful hotel with a very friendly staff. I saw that Trax was open until 10 and ran down to grab beer and food. The music was really loud (it was Monday night) and it was impossible to get the attention of the bartender, or any server. There were a few people in the bar but not crowded enough to just ignore anyone. I waited five minutes until the bartender finally came over with a menu. I waited another five minutes, then left. No one working seemed to notice so doesn’t seem like a big deal to them. Would stay at the hotel again but can’t...
