City Market And Cafe - Wilkes-Barre

Why does this restaurant always get my order wrong? Eight times out of ten, there's something messed up with my order. If I ask for a wrap, I end up with a hoagie. If I request a specific style of fries, I receive something completely different. The only way to ensure you get the correct order is to go in person and wait half an hour. I'm really disappointed with this place. They’re fortunate to be the only option for a drink or a wide selection of lunch items, or they would likely have closed down by now.

When I came to this place, I knew it was something. the decorations and the entire atmosphere makes the place home and rustic. The staff was incredibly nice, I think I ran in about four or five different employees and all were overwhelmingly nice. The food is amazing and good value. My wife is from Baltimore and it's hard to find crab cake that she enjoys here in Pennsylvania, but the city is able to make crab cake that my wife says is near Baltimore. Update: Since writing this review, this place holds its 5-star rating. The staff is still amazing and the food is remarkable. Always watch it lively with quite great jazz music.

Fantastic spot with welcoming staff and delicious food!

The food was enjoyable and the restaurant is a nice spot to have a meal. The person who took my order, Carl, was very friendly and attentive. The place was clean, and they accept SNAP, cards, and cash, if that’s what you’re wondering. The sushi bar area is closed for obvious reasons due to the pandemic.

Great food either wait or pick up. I suggest the Steel City Pastrami. Fantastic.
