Gimbel's Restaurant, LLC — Restaurant in Tamaqua

What a local gem! Who says you need to travel far and wide to enjoy imaginative dishes made from the highest quality ingredients?!

My trio of friends had heard terrific word-of-mouth which led us to park right on Broad Street and make our way inside.

We each ordered a Specialty burger (mine was the Cowgirl Burger - rumored to be the spiciest meat treat on the menu). Fresh chopped jalepenos and fried jalepeno coins mingled with pepper jack cheese adorning two smashed burger patties with bacon and trimmings!

Before our burgers (which i understand are sourced right from their Schuylkill county farm), we snacked on Mozzerella Sticks and Garlicky Cheese Curds (my favorite - nice sharp fresh garlic notes).

After a bit of heartburn reared up due to my overindulgence with garlic and jalepenos I was fortunate enough to try their ice cream, which i learned was both locally-sourced AND hand-churned! It was sinfully unctuous! The high butterfat led to mouth-feel heaven that bordered on pornographic. Save room and treat yourself to this most pleasurable ending experience!

Masquerading as a humble burger-focused gastropub, Gimbel's in Tamaqua is far above your expectations and not to...

I made a stop in town for fuel & food after being on the road for a couple of hours. I asked some locals about a good place to eat & by recommendations ended up at Gimbel's. After sitting down at the bar I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger with the garlic aioli fries. While waiting I chatted with the guy behind the counter- his wife is the brains behind the kitchen, which was previously a food truck with a following. The guy is the counter balance in this operation, who in fact runs the family farm which provides the grass fed beef that serves the menu. When ordering you can get the patties either smashed or Regular....I went with the suggested Smashed burger which was Absolutely Delicious as were the garlic fries! The service was friendly along side of the hardworking community that lives in the area. Next time I head to Jersey Shore, Pa. I know my GoTo stop. Congratulations on a brick n mortar spot where you can grow roots. Note: this picture of grass fed cows are from a different farm in Colorado, where I stopped to support local farmers on a cross country roadtrip. You see the difference in the beefs color & taste, while supporting the right people- not a...

Great food and great service in a nice atmosphere. They have a fairly basic menu and they do that because they stick with what they do well. They do well with their farm-grown beef and Heritage pork.

The food is tremendous. The poutine fries were hot and delicious. Nothing was soggy and everything was crispy and hot. I also had the cowgirl burger with sweet potato fries which were both excellent and well-made. The food came out hot and fresh and perfect in my opinion I really enjoyed it here.

It's also exceptionally reasonably priced. Literally for the price of going to McDonald's you could have a meal that's 100...
