Overbrook Restaurant

Good food in casual/​bar atmosphere. Wish there were more tvs in the bar area for sports and service could be a little faster, but overall a great neighborhood spot! Parking also isn’t great, but I think they’re working on it.

Portions are HUGE! An order of Nachos can feed 2 people for dinner and you will still have left over. I also ordered spaghetti and vodka sauce but not too crazy about it. It was just average. They have a somewhat small dining room and lots of locals go there for drinks. We went back the second time on a Friday night and wasn’t able to get a table as the wait was about 45 min to an hour. its worth to try them once.

Found this place on Unilocal and was surprised how good the food was. Loved the Overbrook fries! Burgers were really good! Waitress was really friendly and happy to wait on our large group even though the place isn’t huge. It is off the beaten path but worth it!

Ate dinner here a few times and haven’t had one average thing yet, everything’s delicious. I’m a younger guy who eats quite a bit and I feel like it’s good portions for the price. I personally love the sweet potato fries and crab cakes but as I said everything’s great. Up there with the best in the area alongside fire and ice.

We have lived in Tunkhannock for going on 6 years and have been fed up with the lack of places to eat. So I went hunting at restaurants outside of the area and came across Overbrook Pub. I know we have driven past this place before so it was a bit familiar to us but we didn’t know what kind of environment it was or the food they had. We scoped out their online menu and found some things we wanted to try. I called up to make sure they did take out orders bc their site wasn’t specific if they did or not. The girl who answered was super bubbly and told me they did do take out and asked me for my order. I was a bit bummed to find out their in house menu had changed from the menu that was online and one of the items I wanted to try they no longer served. But she was quick to offer something almost like it that they did serve and we went with that. I was a bit sticker shocked when I got the total since their site doesn’t have prices listed but we were expecting it to be on the high side since we got many sea food entrees. She told us how long it would take which wasn’t an issue bc it takes us 20 minutes to get into town anyway.
When we got there we saw what people meant about the lack of parking, but we didn’t have any issues finding a spot. They have 2 entrances to get in, one is handicap accessible and the other takes you right into their bar area. Since we were closest to the handicap entrance I just went in that way. As soon as I walked in I was hit with the amazing smells of all the foods they offer. I was also able to see why the parking lot was as small as it is, they have a small dining and bar area and that’s it. Their parking is enough for those who are eating inside and that’s about it. The wait staff was super friendly while I was making my way to get our order. I chatted with the girl at the bar while another one was getting my order from the back and she was complaining how no one has updated the site menu and it can be a bit annoying when people call in to place an order and they ask for something not on the menu anymore. I told her I felt her pain and laughed about it. She told me she made sure everything was there and nothing was missing since we ordered quite a bit. I grabbed our 3 bags of food and we headed home. The whole way home our car smelled fantastic and just made us even more hungry. To come to our conclusion their food was amazing. Definitely worth the price tag that came with it. We will definitely order from there again and look forward to try some of the other things they offer. Idk why people complained about the waitstaff because everyone I encountered while I was walking in for my order was super nice and helpful.

The food (wings and fries) were okay, but nothing spectacular. Martinis are around 12 dollars! Crazy. Service was friendly, but items were forgotten.

Excellent food and great prices. I have never had a meal I didn’t like. The only downside is the parking.

Great lunch and dinner dishes always consistently great food and service. Favorites are crab stuffed flounder, flat iron steak, also the veal parm is really good huge portion. Salads are fresh. Beer selections are little weak but can always find something.

The Overbrook is a great family owned restaurant that has delicious food and great service. Been coming here for many years and always consistent with food and service! great place to hang with friends at the bar or take a date for dinner!

Yeah, I agree, delicious and affordable. My seatmate got broiled haddock, it was cooked to perfection and quite tasty. I got a calzone the size of a Buick, seriously, I could only finish a quarter of it. It was stuffed full of veggies and ricotta cheese. The best part was the baby spinach-​strawberry-​pecan salad.
It was a Friday night and they were busy, but when we called they said we didn’t need reservations. The wait staff was very nice, attentive, and friendly.
Only thing we didn’t like is, you park right next to the street, perpendicular, so when you back out it’s right on to the street. Kinda dangerous.

Food is consistently among the best in the back mountain, service is consistently among the worst anywhere. There’s usually one or two familiar faces who are friendly and do their part, but overall, the waitstaff, which is always a rotating stream of faces, has a poor don’t bother me attitude. We bring friends and family to overbook and are embarrassed by the quality of the staff, but again the food is always great and (usually) makes up for the forgetful and rude staff.
Several times they are not open when the sign says they are so call ahead. …And I have been chased out of the bar 2 times during the week when it’s too close to closing time…
Posting because tonight I called for takeout, was put on hold for 6 minutes,(forgotten about), and heard the girl on the other end cursing because too many people were walking in at once. Once again going elsewhere.

My fiancé and I ate here this weekend. The service was wonderful. We were seated right away despite the place being packed on a Saturday night and our waitress was on top of everything and friendly. Our food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Love the food esp the crab cakes and bruschetta cheese steaks. Only problem is they seem to cater to locals. We were given a table by the door in winter when the table we requested sat empty although we were told someone reserved it. We were there 2 hours and no one sat there.

Quality is always consistent. Crabcake sandwhich is OUTSTANDING. Made to order grilled, burgers make your mouth water! Who wouldnt want a burger with anything you want on it? Bruschetta is SO incredibly tasty! And the special martini’s are so much fun to try-​we try a new one every time we go! We will continue to go back!

The one word I would use to sum up the Overbrook is inconsistency.
Went to the Overbrook with my parents and brother who was visiting from Pittsburgh for a family dinner. This was my first trip here and I would not go out of my way to visit again, but if I was in the area I would likely return. The restaurant is small and smelled strongly of malt vinegar which turned me off right away. I noticed they have bottles of it on each table so perhaps someone spilled a bottle and it was not properly clean. Still not sure why a restaurant would install carpeting but I digress.
We started off with the spinach artichoke dip. It was disappointing and tasted like creamed spinach with some artichoke thrown in, topped with pizza cheese and put under a broiler. Lacked seasoning and very few artichoke pieces.
For our main courses, my mother and I both ordered the crab cake sandwich, my father the pork barbecue (more like pulled pork) and my brother a small buffalo chicken Stromboli. The crab cake sandwiches were outstanding! Mostly lump crab meat, very little filler and the roll was fresh. Fries were disappointing however, as they’re frozen and not fresh cut. The pork barbecue was very good as well. It was shredded pork tossed with a Carolina style vinegar based barbecue sauce instead of the overly sweet sauces normally found in the area. The Stromboli was simply awful. Could not tell if it was steak or chicken in the filling as it was extremely greasy and lots of dark meat. There was barely any Buffalo sauce in it and a very thin layer of cheese at the bottom. It was like eating chicken cooked in oil. Little to no flavor and minimal buffalo chicken taste.
Recommend the crab cake sandwich or the crab cake dinner.

Decent menu, nice atmosphere, service sucks.

I may not have had a decent Steak in NE PA like the one I had a Overbrook. It’s nice, Trendy, Great food and the prices are great.
