Best Lunch Restaurants in Wilkes-Barre

Sitting upstairs at Cork Bar & Restaurant for the first time (normally we have sat outside or downstairs near the bar area) we started with house salads. Our entrees consisted of the Apricot Ginger Salmon and the Peach Whiskey Pork Filet. Both were excellent meals. Our cocktails were the Bourbon Berry and the Blue Lemon Drop. Ending the meal, we had tiramisu along with coffee. Corks’ portions are a nice size, as we did take home a little of our meal. The bread at Corks is also great.

Neighborhood favorite . Excellent service, great food with reasonable prices. We’ll be back.

We had the best food in service that we have had in our region ever. The restaurant was crowded. It was hard to get a reservation and it was easy to see why. The food was NYC quality and the presentation was beautiful, not something we see often. The service was excellent. We love the industrial decor. The history of the building is interesting.

Top tier experience from the moment we reach the host stand. We had a large party on New Years Day. We were sat instantly, with reservation. Our server, Destin, was absolutely phenomenal. Very attentive as well as intuitive. He was very thorough and detail oriented. Everything was coursed properly and in a timely fashion. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Destin put the cherry on top when he printed a picture for us. I Highly highly recommend this location. It exceed expectations in every way and we could not have had a better time. Thank you for curating such a marvelous evening for us. It truly felt tailored to our party. We will return and always consider this location for family events.

Amazing food in a casual (but also upscale) atmosphere. Excellent drink selection and wonderful staff. I’ve never had anything they prepared that wasn’t delicious. They even have a kids menu.
