The Gem And Keystone Tavern

The food was delicious with generous portions. The attentive waitstaff constantly kept our glasses full. The ribs were tender and the catfish was deliciously crispy.

OMG....This place is a MUST GO TO for out of towners or vacationer's it is well worth it!!! Disregard the sketchy reviews. My husband said he wanted to give it a shot didnt believe the sketchy reviews he was in the restaurant industry for years) sohe recommended we try it. THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!! Staff is amazing food is TOP NOTCH...Highly recommend!!!!

Just had the worst dining experience. Raw clams, raw shrimp on our shrimp tacos, an undercooked cheeseburger after asking for the temp to be medium well, and the best part was the hair on the chips we ordered with our pulled pork. In addition to thatthere was filthy glassware with old food stuck on, chipped plates, dirty silverware, and slow service. Employees were standingaround and the kitchen was visibly filthy from the view from the service windows. Visibly absent management.

I was so excited to try out this adorable restaurant for my birthday dinner. The hostess was friendly, but there was also a not so friendly one. We were seated quickly and our server took our drink and appetizer orders. The drinks arrived promptly, but the martinis were not the best. The appetizer of wings was tasty, although they forgot to bring us appetizer plates until we asked. For our main course, we ordered chicken Caesar salads, chicken pesto pasta, and another pasta dish. While eating, the unfriendly hostess started yelling at some guests, but the friendly hostess handled the situation. We decided to skip dessert due to the unpleasant atmosphere. They were out of ice cream, ingredients for drinks, and ingredients for meals. The waiter didn't inform us of the specials and we had to track him down multiple times. Overall, the experience was disappointing considering the restaurant's potential. I would not recommend it and it wasn't worth the price we paid.

I took a photo of my delicious meal because it was absolutely amazing! This was my first time in the Poconos and this restaurant really made my trip unforgettable. I was already full from the appetizer but couldn't stop eating the main dish. The service was excellent and the timing of the food was perfect. If I could, I would live here and even work in the restaurant just to keep enjoying the amazing meals they serve.
