The James - An American Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Williamsport

This used to be one of my most favorite restaurants. Eaten here more times than I can count. Got the artichoke dip, French Onion Soup, and NY Strip with Brussel sprouts, squash, fingerling potatoes, and bread pudding for dessert. The French Onion Soup used to be my favorite, but that recipe has changed. The Brussel sprouts were boiled with absolutely no seasoning, not even salt and pepper, or olive oil and ive had them here many times with zero issue ir complaint.. Fingerling potatoes were also totally plain. This was the most bland meal I've had in years. We got dessert to go and I specifically asked for the ice cream on the side in a separate container. They put the vanilla ice cream on top of the warm bread pudding in a paper to go box. Why they are not trained to pack up to go desserts properly, I do not know especially when the customer asks specifically for the ice cream to be separate. The server was nice, but it took forever to order and then once she brought our check, it again took her forever to come back and process it. They had about 10 tables filled and many open, so they were not that busy. I was soo disappointed. I would love to know what changed whether it was the management or the chef. $108 including tip for 2 people and no alcohol. It totally ruined our Thanksgiving and i had such high hopes given that we've never had that experience and I don't...

This afternoon, I paid a visit to this restaurant for a late lunch. Upon arrival, I noticed that the venue was largely unoccupied, with only one other table filled. My dining companion and I selected a cozy corner booth and began perusing the menus provided by our server.

I decided on a Reuben sandwich paired with a side of French onion soup. Conversely, my husband chose a half dozen wings and an appetizer called pork sliders. Our food was served in a prompt manner. The French onion soup was hot and flavorful, boasting a rich flavor and a generous helping of melted cheese. The Reuben was equally tasty, featuring an abundance of corned beef and tangy sauerkraut.

While my husband's wings were enjoyable, the true standout of his meal was the pork sliders. These consisted of four sliders filled with pulled pork, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and topped with a cherry cranberry compote. Although this combination may seem unusual, the flavors melded together surprisingly well.

Throughout our meal, our server provided attentive and friendly service, and the restaurant maintained a clean and welcoming atmosphere. We are already anticipating...

This place is located in the hotel that I was staying at, so it was convenient to order dinner from there. They do not offer room service in the part of the hotel that I was in, but they do deliver to your room for a small fee.

The girl who took my order over the phone was so nice & very friendly, but the food was much to be desired.

I ordered the Roasted Vegetable & Gruyere Panini roasted root vegetables sandwich and it was one big sloppy mess & not at all what I was expecting. Everything fell out of the sandwich on the first bite as they really pack the veggies in there! I wasn’t crazy about the sauce it comes with or whatever it was cooked in- it had an odd taste that I was not very fond of.

I was really craving the Brussels sprouts but they weren’t roasted or crispy how I like them & a real disappointment as was the entire meal. And to make matters worse…they serve Hunts ketchup with their fries!! Why?! Heinz ketchup is 1000%...
