Detzi's Tavern — Restaurant in Wind Gap

The only strands I hope to find in a sack of fries are made of Potato, not from red hair.

Ordered takeout, took a while to get there, arrived at bar to find an overworked bartender who paid me no mind at all as I was standing at the bar for atleast 5-7mins. He never looked up or even offered an Ill be with you in a moment.

Finally as I began to walk toward the door to make a call he said, “ya gotta bare with me”.

Upon arriving back at the bar, I saw that my order was seemingly packaged in an open top box which was sitting on the counter. It turned out to be mine and he rang me up.

When I looked inside the box, there were two closed/covered styrofoam containers which I was pleased to find… yet my two orders of fries were uncovered in open top McDonalds style French fry bags exposed to the air and the environment around the bar (during a pandemic) in an empty area of the bar.

I wasn’t pleased with the service but was starving and in a rush to get back to work. When I returned to work I found strands of hair in my fries and politely phoned to make them aware.

I didn’t have time to go back as I was working but the staff member asked for my number and said she’d have the owner reach out. Turns out the owner was the inattentive Bartender. Ive worked in busy bar areas in the past and the service from the owner himself was lacking. He never called me afterward either.

Some of the servers I encountered there were friendly and helpful… others sought to scurry on their way so as not to be forced to interact. I wondered if this was the type of place where only those who looked a certain way would be able to leave rave reviews as others could be treated...

My wife and I were here for dinner on our way back home from the Poconos. This was relatively close to Tolino Vineyard that we had visited earlier in the afternoon and when we asked the staff for what places would be close by, this was one of the places that they suggested and looking at the great reviews we came here. The place was relatively easy to locate from a moving car - certainly a positive. During our meal here, we found the staff to be friendly but as far as the food itself was concerned, it wasn't anything that would stand out. My wife got a Trattoria burger with a turkey patty and I got the steamed clams and Shrimp-in-the-Basket. They were all reasonably well prepared but is nothing that we would categorically remember for being great. In terms of things that could have been better, something that seems a bit odd in hindsight is that while all dinners come with a house salad and dinner rolls, I don't recall having received dinner rolls with our meal. Also, while our server was friendly, we didn't get our waters refilled and the check did take quite a bit longer to come out that what we would have liked. We had an infant with us and were getting a bit antsy and wanted to leave as soon as we were done with our food, but it took us some signaling to the other servers before we could get our checks. To wrap up, while there was no major negative and the atmosphere at the place was very relaxed and friendly, in my view this isn't a place which is worth much of a detour. I wouldn't hesitate to stop by this place if I was in the area and getting hungry but if that wasn't the case, I would try my...

Located in Wind Gap originally settled by the Dutch and German immigrants “Die Wind Kapf”, this Slate Belt landmark establishment has been here since 1960 off of Route 512. Formerly a family business, Detzi’s Tavern is now under a new owner. It’s a basic local sports bar and restaurant, accommodated by surrounded TVs serving comfort food. Upon entering without reservation on Black Friday, local sports history is displayed throughout the two dining rooms, with plenty of tables filled with patrons. There’s also outdoor patio seating available when the weather is agreeable. Despite a short wait, my partner, his family and I were seated at a table for four. There was a nice variety on the menu, consisting of burgers, wraps, salads, cheesesteaks, wings, pizza, and entrees. A separate menu featured the specials of the day. We decided on Veggie Wrap, California Burger, Black Bean Chipotle Burger, and Trattoria Burger. As a side, we ordered the sweet potato fries and onion rings. All entrees were well prepared, tasty, and of nice size. It can get very busy and noisy, but it is a sports bar after all. We can continue to...
