Anthracite Cafe' - Wilkes-Barre

“First visit after many recommendations. Overall everything was great. Our waitress Lisa was excellent! She was pleasant, attentive and an asset to your restaurant. The only downside was the iceberg lettuce, carrot and cabbage mix. This bagged mix never tastes fresh and always has a distinctively packaged flavor. The menu says “mixed greens”. The salad would have been much better if it had actually consisted of a fresh mix. That being said, we will dine here again!”

It was our first time eating there the waitress was absolutely wonderful loved her gave her a great tip. But the food was lacking my food was great but there wasn't much there for how much they actually charge for it just like my husband's dinner 5 tiny pieces of meatloaf. He asked for potatoes and mac and cheese and only got the mac and cheese. Tiny tiny tiny serving of corn asked for extra corn on the side didn't even fill the bowl they gave. I really I'm disappointed for all the hype people give.

Just good. Not great… Not terrible. the food was pretty good. Everyone’s meal came out hot and fresh and was pretty flavorful. I opted for the Middleswarth burger which left a bit to be desired. There wasn’t much of the chips the menu had claimed for it to have. They seemed mostly laid on-top and not spread very evenly. The cheesy sauce was good but the patty itself seemed like a normal burger. The other person in my party got a regular burger and I would have probably just got that and saved a few dollars. Our burgers were flavorful but just generally lacking or a bit of a letdown. To the chefs credit the burgers were cooked perfectly and the toppings were ripe and crisp. The pretzel chicken was pretty good, Expensive but they do give you a huge piece to take half of it home it seems. it was crisp and the pretzel crust was great. The honey mustard was mild and sweet but I did enjoy it. I like taking pictures for my review but it was pretty dark in the part we were sat at. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back but if I did I would order different things. The staff was very very nice and pleasant.

Came back here after my initial visit 2 years ago. Staff as the first time were amazing and very friendly. And while I still love the variety of their menu, both picks chosen from both appetizer and entree contained chicken which tasted off.

Great time and the food is awesome!. Try the wings, big and thick!..The French Onion soup was delicious. My hamburger was a bit dry but besides that, I'd go back again.
