Absolutely worth the two hour drive for dinner! Flavor, serving size, price and service!!!

Was sat and not even acknowledged for approximately 10 minutes. No drinks. No hi. No “I will be with you in a second”. Not the first time. Heading over to the Brickyard.

Very interesting selection of food. Was very surprised by the really large portions. I got hot wings and fries and i had enough for two people. Overall very good food and would go again!

So many great things to say about this place. Jason Matty is amazing! An amazing manager and cook. The staff-I love them. I have a strict diet for health reasons and they always are patient and accommodating, without making me feel uncomfortable. The food-so great!! Different menu than what's around this area.

What a great little place. They sure do have a little bit of everything. The food is very well done and well presented. Never had to wait too long on drinks or apps. Very clean and great atmosphere.

Went here for my birthday dinner and by far was the best food and our waitress was so awesome lastnight! Would highly recommend

We ordered a take out meal for the family, rather than sit-in. Glad we chose that option because the service was terrible. One patron at the bar was openly being loud and cussing (too much drink?) without any staff doing anything about it. So much for it being a 'family' restaurant. There were five staff/ servers (?) floating about, so understaffing was not the issue. Our food, ordered online, should have taken 30 - 35 minutes we were told. 50 minutes later, I finally walked out of the place with our order but was so close to telling them to stuff it and let them take the financial hit for food prepared but not paid nor taken. I asked one staff to check on what was taking so long - and she never came back to tell me! I overheard another tell arriving patrons that they could only take reservations or it would be at least a wait of one hour. I would not wait ten minutes for this place. It does look okay - from the outside! They brought one bag of our food out and laid it on the counter near the door, which meant that our food was lukewarm by the time the second bag came out. Poor service indeed and we paid almost $80 for the 'privilege' of dining here!? We should have went next door to Burger king. Better, quicker service with food just as edible as that we got from Sticky elbow. Would NOT recommend this place, ever and in fact, would recommend you spend your hard earned money on some place that actually deserves it. There are several places in Williamsport who outshine the sticky elbow in service, price and quality. Don't waste your time here. Needless to say, we won't be back!

The food was great, but the atmosphere, not so much. The service was decent, but I was put off from the start when my boyfriend ordered a mixed drink without needing to show ID. Then when I ordered one, the waitress asked for mine (which I had left at home). So no drink for me. Which was pretty unprofessional on her part. You don’t ask for ID from one guest and not the other. It would’ve been fine if she asked for his also, but she didn’t (and I’m 2 years older than him btw, 28).If you want a sit-down restaurant, don’t bother. We were squeezed into a small table right next to the bar. We could barely hear anything aside from the obnoxious, loud, drunk people next to us. It was extremely annoying. Everything they said was a yell, and having to sit through that was miserable. They’d be better off making a separate dining room if those are the kind of people they want to serve. Having a reservation doesn’t make a difference, either. It was a very unpleasant experience and we won’t be back except maybe for takeout. Again, don’t go here if you’re expecting anything related to a peaceful dinner.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. I'm obsessed w the eggplant sandwich. I get it once a month or more. The other night, my husband and I went to dine in. Got the soup special (spicy duck winton), which was excellent. Also got the sweet chili chicken entree, which was also excellent and HUGE. I swear, the meal still weighed like 6 lbs even by the time I got it in the to-go box. My husband had the filet w bacon bourbon cream sauce, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The filet was cooked perfectly, if a little lacking in seasoning. As with all other times we've gone here, we did not leave disappointed. 10/10 will return within 2 weeks.

Amazing food and service was great… Highly recommend this place…
