Excellent restaurant great food drink will definitely be back

Great food, drinks and service. They have a great menu; so many things to choose from. I highly recommend if you have never been there and you will definitely want to go back.

First time here today and we really enjoyed it! We had great service, drinks and food! Will definitely be going back!

What a great time...We really did like this place. It is a cool sports bar vibe with really good service. The food is big portions. The wifey had some spicy chicken sandwich and fries - the fries had a really good dipping sauce. Wifey really liked their sandwich. I had the French dip which was awesome. They have a marshmallow dipping sauce for their sweet potato fries which was really yummy. This is worth stopping by for dinner and drinks.

Had an absolutely amazing time! The pretzel appetizer was amazing ( definitely need more of that cheese sauce in my life). The bison cheese steak was so good! No negatives to note from our trip

I love this place!! Every time I've been here, I've received great service, Great food and Great Beverages!!! However, last night I was unfortunate enough to have been seated next to a Fussy, Cranky, Adult Man-Baby who was loudly complaining about having to pay a 2% service charge for using a credit card. I don't know why he was so upset about it. That info is posted in places where I read it easily. He tried to rally our table of 4 to join his fight but we have no problem paying our tab and know that most restaurants are doing the same. Anyways, kudos to the staff for never disappointing & understanding that Not everyone likes the corn salsa in their tacos.

Food used to be great and was a nice spot for a decent price…now? Food comes out cold, they often run out of items without taking items off the menu, and wait staff is overwhelmed to the point of where eating here becomes a time commitment. I used to love going here and they handled the pandemic well but something has definitely changed for the worse, will not be coming back as what was once a unique hidden gem is now just another subpar restaurant

Just had to give a shout out to Smurl. You made me feel so young talking about not paying surcharge for credit cards. It definitely brought me back to a different time when I was in my 30’s and there was no surcharge on a credit card ?. Hopefully you have an electric car or you’d realize they charge .05 a gallon for a card just like 99% of the places you swipe your card today.As far as Ale Marys it’s the best beer selection in Scranton especially for the price and the food never disappoints.

the wubba lubba dub dub is AH-MAZINGalso, crab fries.

First time here was Sat 1/8We found parking right out front and the hostess took us to our table. Every seat in the house could see multiple TVs. The spacious interior leaves room in-between tables and parties dining. The loaded fries served in a skillet were amazing. The draft beer list had something for everyone. Pierogi flatbread, quesadilla and bison cheese steak were all amazing. As well as our service was top knotch. Well done.Only comment - contactless menu with QR code on table, but drink menus were handed to us. Either one or the other in my opinion.When we come back to Scranton (which is monthly) we will visit again !
