Definitely a strange place for IN Allentown, the food was good. We ordered the “French Onion Pierogis” very strange. But good. Just wasn’t what we expected. French onion soup with pierogis in it. And we had sliders. The sliders were very large for a slider, smashed down and slightly over done but good flavor. Partially our fault because we didn’t specify the doneness. We’ll give it another try in the future.
This place was awesome! The atmosphere and look of the restaurant is very very nice! ????I went to try out their AYCE Spaghetti and Meatballs night on Wednesdays. It's only $7.95 and they are quick to bring refills. The food is amazing, and their service is friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Amazing restaurant. I've wanted to go here for years and something always kept coming up. Thankfully today was my wifes birthday and we wanted to try something new. First let's start off with the parking. Hug parking lot. Then when you enter the restaurant it reminds you of a log cabin. With a hint of charm. We sat down and were greeted by Ronnie. Our waiter. He was friendly and always smiling. We ordered our food which came out super quick. And was well cooked. I highly recommend this place for any occasion . See pictures.
Atmosphere was great because it was a quiet place with almost no one there on father's day but we struggled to get a cup of black coffee and had to wait quite a while for a refill cup. My meal came with components missing that were on the menu that I had to ask for, and over all none of it was great. My avocado toast was definitely guac from a container and my bread wasn't toasted or if it was it was barely toasted so it was pretty soggy. My husband's mixed drink didn't come until about 3/4 through the meal and that was because we had to ask for it more than once. The "regulars" seemed to get much more attentive service from the wait staff than we did. I'm sure if you know the staff and are a regular everything is probably great but definitely not a great experience my family had. Not a place for new customers based off that experience.
Was 5 stars 3 years ago, I just had dinner 6/9/2022 and was served the fattiest stake along with cold perogies.. I was hoping your food would stay amazing but it doesn't seem to have.
I was looking for a quick bite to eat and googled food near me. This stood out because of pictures I saw of a band playing there. There is only street parking but it’s fairly easy to find in the middle of the day.
When I entered, no one greeted me at first. I saw one bartender and one waitress who was tending to a large party. I only waited about a couple minutes but it felt like forever. The bartender finally welcomed me after the waitress passed right by me without saying a word (I was standing by the door so I obviously was waiting to be served). However, the bartender was polite and friendly and apologized for the wait.
I loved their appetizers they are somewhat eccentric and their drink menu has fun names and combinations. I ordered their 19th on Mule it came with pear vodka, ginger beer, mint and elderflower liqueur. It was a sweet drink but I didn’t taste the individual flavors like I hoped to. For lunch I ordered an appetizer called Boom Boom Chicken Mac and Cheese. It was so good. Their cheese sauce was flavorful but not spicy, it came mixed with sirarcha sauce but I didn’t taste the siracha. I tasted a hint of garlic and green onions. I loved it. Worth every bite.
Ashley and Christina are the absolute best! Food is delicious, drinks are great. You can't go wrong choosing the Shanty.
For starters service was extremely slow. While they put on the door that you must have a mask, several people where allowed in without one and where not offered one. None of the staff is wearing a mask. (Except one of the cooks, but not the other 2 cooks) There are gambling games available, but the stations don't have sanitizer or wipes anywhere nearby. They also are reusing paper menus which is considered unsanitary by the CDC guidelines. Thankfully, I have already had C-19 and I'm still in my immunity period. However, as a man with a severe heart condition, reduced Lung capacity, and liver Cirrhosis, its hard not to think of how much they are risking the health of others. And to be honest it's all a shame because the food is good, but it was all different temperatures the waffles were dry and luke warm, the chicken was easily the best part of the meal. Unfortunately the good flavor was severely soured by the experience. I would suggest you find another place to have brunch. (Some of their decor is also political which I don't mind, but im not here to discover your politics I'm here to eat food. It's not that I even disagree with it, I just find it a tacky business decision.)
