The Grille at The Train Station

We are located in a beautifully renovated train station that served the Lehigh Valley Railroad since being built in 1904. There are several train cars on the property, serving as dining cars and storage for the restaurant. From a great lunch destination with set daily features to a late night, sports bar feel, you'll be sure to find yourself feeling right at home.

U Like Chinese Restaurant

Reviewed By scranton38 - Pennsylvania

We are New Kambo people, but decided to try this new Athens establishment. I think the prices are about the same and you get about the same amount of food at either place. However, U Like seems to have a little better quality ingredients. Things seem to taste a little more fresh. On the other hand, the flavors aren't as robust as others and the eggrolls were pretty greasy. We'll definitely go back.

The only thing open on Labor day and it was packed! A cute little homey restaurant with home made bread. The tables were packed and there was a line outside. The service was great and everyone was friendly. We knew it had to be good when we saw the local policemen eating there!

Dad's Dips & Dogs

Reviewed By YasminEdwards - Escondido, California

Examine your bill very carefully. They will throw in hidden charges and you will not be aware of it. This places serves hot dogs, pizza, subs and stromboli. I had the Greek salad and it was over priced at $8. Their appetizers were not that good. They have Italian ice.

Stopped for evening meal with friends & family. Their appetizer, the soft pretzels with cheese or mustard are the best around. Cheeseburger was excellent. My wife ordered their chicken wrap and she said it was excellent...!!! Atmosphere is good, bar and grill but very friendly and excellent service. Will definitely go there again.

Beeman's Family Restaurant

Reviewed By 770MCP

Stopped by on a Sunday night for dinner. My husband wanted an open face Turkey sandwich and I wanted fish and chips. We knew Beeman's was the place to go. We started with drinks. Great presentation. I had the seafood chowder and my husband had the french onion soup. Mine was good but the french onion needed more cheese. My fish was perfect - crispy and moist. It hit the spot. My husband loved his Turkey sandwich. We both left happy and full. Hannah, our waitress who was training another waitress, was attentive and friendly. It was a great meal at a great price. Plus the place is amazingly clean and we'll kept.

Tanner's Bar & Grill

Reviewed By Sarah S

You gotta go down to Tanners on a Thursday night for their wings. They often have live entertainment catering to a wide array of interests. The service is good the bartender is wonderful. I believe you must be 18 to enter, this is a bar. There are tables available both in and out doors, the restrooms are clean, it's a nice friendly rednecky place. There's a large screen TV for watching the game and they often participate in charity events, some held on site. There is a pool table and dart board if you're so inclined. They have a limited menu but the food is good served fast and hot. They have a website that is pretty accurate, they offer drink specials, the draft beers are cold and served in frosted mugs. They recently went smoke free inside. For me it would be 5 stars, I it there, but I'm sure some could find fault. They have a large parking lot and we have never had any trouble parking. Favorite wings are medium, garlic, and siracha.

Reviewed By Philalady - Newtown Square, Pennsylvania

The food here was amazing and the staff were friendly. We got a "pile of pork" and an all you can eat special. Both were melt in your mouth good. The sauces were great, adding sweetness or spice. All the sides were homemade, especially loved...MoreThank you for taking the time to review us! I will pass your comments on to our cooks and wait staff. They work very hard.
