After visiting this establishment, I would NEVER recommend this place for dining nor will I ever return. The food was tasteless and cool upon serving, mind you their was only one other table in the dining room. The other table was served their food prior to our table, we had arrived first. I had the shrimp with sherry lobster sauce, or NO sauce I couldn't tell, dry and no taste.
Another guest at my table had the same dish and was dissatisfied that it came with pasta even after I questioned the waitress about the dish, she failed to mention it came over pasta. The dish was sent back and was requested she have shrimp scampi over rice, when her meal returned.no scampi, cold shrimp with rice and veggies. Two other guest at our table had steak which seemed cooked to their liking however they complained it was fatty and not worth the price they paid.
We ordered desert and coffee, which the coffee was cold, I wanted HOT coffee. And to top it all off, they automatically included a tip on our bill for a party of 5, I never in my life have heard of that, a party of 8-10 or more I understand, a party of 5 really.get serious. I realize we went to this establishment with a coupon, but under no circumstances should you have included a tip on our bill. OFFENSIVE.

We went to dinner late (7:30) and there was 3 other tables there. The staff was hard to find unless they were hanging pictures on the walls or talking to each other. Every one of them looked sloppy from their clothes to their hair! It took 40+minutes to get our food and my friends steak was still pink, she ordered well done. We almost missed our show downstairs at 9pm even though we told the staff we had tickets.
We had to rush through our dinner and then hear about the personal life of our waitress. There are some things about a persons dating life I do not wish to know at first meeting, it was awkward. I cannot imagine how they stay open nor how they bring their A game to a catering event. There are plenty of other great places to eat in Emmaus, may we suggest you go there instead!

The food and service here was great. The waitress brought dinner rolls and butter out right away. We started with the nachos for an appetizer. The chips were homemade and delicious topped with tender pulled pork, nacho cheese, and came with sides of sour cream guacamole and pico de gallo. I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel with white gravy and it was fantastic. My friends ordered smothered steaks and said they were delicious.

I went here with a Groupon and took my girlfriend and her parents. Oh my, what a mistake it was. I got there a bit early, and had a $2 beer at the bar- "Not bad!" I thought to myself as I eagerly awaited the rest of my party. They soon arrived, and we were told it would be a few minutes until we could be seated in the dining room. This seemed odd, as there was only one other party dining - and within a few minutes we were seated.
Our waiter, who we later found out was the owner, was immediately offputting. He bumbled his words, made sure to tell us 'AND NO FIGHTING' to the limitations of the groupon. We also found out that 'NO SPECIALS APPLY IN THE DINING ROOM' as pertaining to food or appetizer specials. We thought it was strange, but forgivable. The rest of the night turned out to be an excercise in patience as we recieved comedically slow and inattentive service.
We witnessed other tables recieve incorrect orders that were never made right, and recieved cold and what seemed to be microwaved empanadas. For our entrees, 1/4 memebers of our party was satisfied with their meal. I ended up paying out an additional $40 above the groupon price (before gratituity) for things that were 'not included'. We were never offered refills on our drinks, so we finally asked several times for additional drinks that never arrived.
In short, the only reason I can fathom that people eat there is their groupon 'scam' where they make you believe you're recieving value for what you pay. Trust me, even at 90% off - this place wouldn't be worth your time, money, or appetite.

We drove 50 min (one way) to try this place out. we went this past friday night around 7:45. we were seated right away. every employee we delt with was smiling, and cheerful! rolls looked and tasted fresh baked. salad could have had some iceberg lettuce, but was ok. entrees were EXCELLENT! cajun shrimp and stuffed flounder. ticket times were very good for cooked to order. (we got to enjoy/finish our salad before our entree arrived. TAKE NOTE chain places!) nice paced relaxing dinner. wasn't sure what to expect because of the bad reviews.? a very enjoyable dinner! 1-10 9 (i like iceburg lettuce) checked out the karaoke afterwards.mc started late :( but the sound system was good. sang and watched the good/fun singers! female bartender was perky and attentive. enjoyed it! a great night out!

My wife and I went with a living social coupon wanting to try dinner. My wife previously had a very good lunch with a friend. Dinner unfortunately was overpriced for the quality food we received. I had beef tips with sherry lobster sauce and the portion of beef was very small for the price. It's not that the beef was bad, but we've had better food for less at other restaurants.
My wife had cajun chicken pasta and the taste was not good at all and definitely not worth the price. The service was not bad by any means, but it cannot make up for the poor quality food.
