Really good Italian food and pretty solid American food menu. I enjoy the Burrata Salad. The chicken dishes, pizza, and appetizers are all very good. They also have a full bar.

Don't be confused by the name. This is a really amazing restaurant, with a beer distributor attached. They serve perfectly grilled paninis (grilled sandwiches) using high quality cheeses and ingredients. They also serve soup and german pretzels. The beer selection here is the best around. Get a flight (a small tasting of four beers) if you can. Live music also available on select nights.

Union Publick's kitchen is run by 14 Acre Farm, which is one of the most prominent organic farms in the area. All their food is made fresh and has a foodie flare. It's not fussy but it's way better than your typical bar food. Expect unique specials, fresh veggies, and really well cooked juicy meats. It's my favorite local restaurant. This place has one of the best beer selections available in the area. The taps are always rotated with new selections and the bottle/can selection constantly changes. Also has a full bar. Smoking allowed 9pm - 2 am.

Really good upscale Italian food. Great pizza and pasta options. I really like their steak salad. They have a great ambiance as well, along with outdoor seating in the summer. Their pizza is cooked in a coal fire oven, which is a unique local characteristic.

Great place to hang out during the warmer months. It has a huge outdoor seating area right next to a lovely creek. Above average bar food with a pretty standard beer selection and full bar. It has a local reputation as a biker bar, so expect lots of leather and motorcycles, but don't worry, it's very safe for all types.

This restaurant is located in a former inn just off a small local road. It's totally unassuming and yet it serves some of the best farm to table food you can imagine. Each dish's ingredients are sourced from a local farmer. The food combinations aren't intimidating and the cooking is top-notch. It's gourmet but not stuffy, contemporary but not too alienating. Very highly recommended for a special night out.

Recently opened ice cream and dessert place with a cute old timey vibe. It has all the classics as well as as a few unique flavors. Try the sodas and the shakes. Also, they have slices of their ice cream cakes to go. You must try them! In addition, they have a small gift/convenience shop with vintage candy.

This is one of Jim Thorpe’s newest restaurants. It’s a renovated former firehouse with really nice decor and a great bar selection. It’s New American: sandwiches, mac and cheese, chili, and a couple salads with an eye on unique and fresh ingredients The food is classy, flavorful and creative and not overpriced.

Martin’s is an upscale American restaurant serving well crafted and carefully prepared food. The flavors are classic yet sophisticated. The prices are on the higher side, so save this place for a special occasion. Most importantly, it is BYOB only! I had an amazingly tender veal short rib and bucatini dish with a really well balanced and flavorful sauce. Nice open seating plan and ambiance as well. Highly recommended.

Newly opened coffee shop as of early Summer 2018. It’s been completely renovated and nicely decorated. Really comfortable place to do work, read a book, or relax. Has wi-fi. Serves all the regular coffee drinks (lattes, cappuccinos, etc), teas, and some specialty drinks. They use local Mauch Chunk Coffee roasters, which is the best in the area.

Similar to Humboldt in Hazleton although very different vibe: more homey and comfortable. They mostly serve upscale grilled cheese sandwiches. You select all of your grilled cheese ingredients from a slip of paper, marking each one with a pencil. Great beer selection and very nice ambiance.

This is the private residence and studio of artist Victor Stabin. He purchased the building a couple decades ago (previously the Wireworks factory). It’s been completely renovated to show off the amazing architectural features. You can see and purchased his funky and eclectic artwork at the museum and gift shop. Stay for a fancy drink or a nice meal at Cafe Arielle. The vibe is definitely more refined than most of the local places in Jim Thorpe, so expect slightly higher prices, but it’s worth it. Brunch available on Sundays.

They make artisanal breads, like fig and anise (delicious) and they also have a french toast bar on Saturdays (reservations recommended). Lots of amazing things to eat, they serve coffee too.

This cafe is new in town and looks like it was transported directly from Brooklyn, NY. It’s light, airy, chic and serves great coffee and cafe drinks. The food is exceptional too. Look for a London Fog, a Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte), or a flavored Lavender Latte. They also serve a selection of high quality teas. A must see in Pottsville. Oh, and also there’s a used bookstore in the back that sells a nice curated selection for only $4 each!

This is a single-screen theater where you can eat and watch a movie! It’s not as high end as some of these more recent theaters: expect drab decor and comfortable but non-reclining seats. The place definitely needs an update but the food is better than your standard movie theater (think bar food) and it has a full bar. Overall an enjoyable experience and the movie tickets are only $5!!

This is the other local farmer's market and it is open on the weekends unlike Hometown. It's a much rougher version of the Hometown market, but in my opinion it's just as interesting. If there were ever a place to get a feeling of the locals, this would be it. There is a large selection of fresh foods, food counters, and a large array of second hand items and antiques. Very inexpensive.

This is a huge barn with a ton of unique antiques. It's a true gem of antique shopping, although a bit of a trip. Prices are pretty reasonable. Really great selection as well. Worth a trip if you're willing.

This is the best place to get high quality meats and cheeses. They also have a lunch counter. Not the best selection for grocery shopping, as it is more of a boutique food shop. Only open during the day Monday-Saturday so plan accordingly.
