The Morning Toast at Barley Creek, 1774 Sullivan Trail in Tannersville
Doctors tell us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and when you sample the dishes served at the Morning Toast, we think you will be happy to jump on the breakfast bandwagon! Offering a selection of benedicts designed to make your mouth water as well as a full selection of your morning favorites, this special place should be the first step taken in your epicurean journey.
Landmark Restaurant, 838 Seven Bridge Road in Stroudsburg
Whether you are on a foodie foray through the Poconos or are simply needing sustenance in the middle of the day to fuel up for your next adventure, the Landmark Restaurant in Stroudsburg offers the next step in your travels with some of the best food in the Poconos. Serving burgers that are thick and juicy, deli sandwiches piled high with your favorite meats, and a substantial breakfast menu as well, the food may not be fancy, but it passes every taste test to which the restaurant is subjected!
El Mariachi, 789 N Locust Street in Hazelton
Although the Poconos could be considered the heart of all-American comfort food, we are definitely aware of the trends and we recognize the movement of the simple taco! Fast outranking sandwiches in popularity, tacos offer the ultimate in flavor, and El Mariachi in Hazelton has some of the best in the valley. Inexpensive, innovative, and so flavorful our mouths begin to water the moment we are within sniffing distance, every dish is bound to be your favorite. And as Mexican food evolves into more than gooey and cheesy dishes topped with hot sauce, we are all learning the importance of guacamole; made correctly, it adds a creamy magic to your meal, and of course, El Mariachi’s is some of the best we have ever tasted! Offering an authentic South of the Border ambience to the All-American style of downtown Hazelton, this spicy cocina will make your taste buds smile.
Boulder View Tavern, 123 Lake Harmony Road in Lake Harmony
When dinnertime rolls around, our moods and cravings can change as frequently as a presenter changes clothes during an awards show and Boulder View Tavern is just one of many excellent choices for dinner. Offering a modern selection of meals that includes burgers, pasta, and seafood, it’s the lake views that will make you fall in love with this special spot!
Double Cut Charcoal Grill/Liquor Bar, 250 Kalahari Boulevard in Pocono Manor
The only thing that tops a truly great steak for dinner is the ambiance and style of the restaurant from which it is served, and Double Cut Charcoal Grill has it all! This is where you go to feed your inner carnivore, especially when you desire good service and a sophisticated atmosphere.
The 940 Junction, 1879 PA-940 in Pocono Pines
A taste of something sweet is the best way to send the message to our stomachs that the meal is complete, and the 940 Junction in Pocono Pines is the perfect summer treat! Offering hot dogs and hamburgers and other casual meals, it is their ice cream that will make you fall in love. Soft serve ice cream comes in a variety of your favorite flavors from plain vanilla to strawberry and every taste in between. Also offering a selection of handmade hard serve ice cream (flavors change on a regular basis), sundaes, milkshakes, and handmade ice cream sandwiches (try the Peanut Butter Bomber and your life will be forever changed!), your sweet tooth will finally meet its match! Unfortunately, this sweet spot closes for the winter, but don’t worry, keep reading to discover what other sweet treats we offer our winter vacationers.
Fork Street Bistro & Bakery, 16 Fork Street in Mt Pocono
From your first step inside this charming bistro to your final push away from the table, a combination of experiences promise to make Fork Street your new favorite hangout! Offering delicious brunch and bistro food, amazing coffee, and the sweetest of the sweets, every bite will be your favorite. Although we are recommending this spot due to their mouthwatering desserts, if you get the chance, you MUST try their crispy potato cakes topped with chutney (cranberry or pineapple) or plain old sour cream; it is a Pennsylvania tradition!
