For starters, I think Murphy’s Loft should update their “overview” on google – as they no longer offer a seasonal pool. Kind of a bummer, because that’s what initially drew me to the business. Sounds awesome to have a pool – with bar and food all at one place. Definitely unique too!

Regardless, my husband and I decided to try it out. I think they really struggled with time management. Below is the breakdown of the night. Some of these times are just really surprising… you wouldn’t think it would take 20 minutes to get drinks? An hour for an appetizer to come out? Dinner – 1 and ½ hours after arriving.

6:30PM – seated
6:45PM – placed order
6:50PM – drinks
7PM – soup
7:33PM – appetizer
7:56PM – meals

When we arrived – they gave us the option to sit inside or outside. We went in the beginning of July. We thought it would be nice to sit outside – it was very humid though. Even on the patio – with fans. We sat in the covered patio section – it might be better to sit entirely outside for some fresh air/better airflow.

Alternatively, you may want to eat inside? Maybe the service was better inside. It didn’t seem like there were that many people outside (maybe 4 tables) but the parking lot was practically full when we arrived – and when we left, it was dead.

There was actually another table outside that told the waitress that he felt like his table was being ignored and was questioning why their food was taking so long (so we weren’t the only ones!)

We were patient. We didn’t say anything about the wait but our waitress came over and apologized about the wait at least 3x (which was nice.. but it doesn’t change anything about the experience).

If anything, maybe the business should offer a drink on the house or something to “make up for it.” Another cold drink, would’ve made the hot wait – more bearable.

My drink and soup were both good. I got the Turkey and Stuffing dinner – advertised as hand carved turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. At first glance, the meal looked good. I was excited when cranberry sauce came out with it too (“all the works”).

The waitress asked how we were – and we said good. It wasn’t until I moved the turkey off my stuffing, that I realized there was no mashed potatoes! (Bummer). My husband didn’t want me to say anything because we had already waited so long… by the time they’d come out – we’d already be done eating and/or gone.

In general – I think waitresses should also come back a second time to see how the food actually tastes. Often, waitresses ask how everything is before you get a chance to actually try it.

Took a while for box and check to come out too.

Overall, not a great experience. The turkey didn’t taste the best but everything else was good. I’d like to give them a second chance.. I just don’t know if my husband can be convinced.

Pros: outdoor dining, weekly specials/events.
Cons: long wait times, messed up order

Affordable food that came out fast. There are some hidden gems on the menu, especially the cauliflower wings and the chicken in the Asian sesame salad (though it was just iceberg lettuce). The Cajun steak fries had visible seasoning but no flavor. Good beer selection and live music made it a good experience!

Food was tasty, had the shrimp crab jalapeño poppers and honey old bay chicken wings as appetizers.

We each had a burger mine was cooked perfect and my husband said his was over cooked.
I had burger with waffle fries and my husband had his burger with onion rings.

The service was quick and the server was attentive.

Nice place.

Maybe it was because we went later in the evening, but the food wasn’t quite what I expected. It wasn’t bad by any means—just not the best I’ve had. The French onion soup had a unique flavor that made me wonder if it was made with chicken broth instead of the traditional base. I also had the chicken marsala, which was good, but again, the flavor was a little different than what I’m used to.

That said, the service was excellent and I really loved the atmosphere. Even though the food threw me off a bit, I’d definitely consider stopping by again.

The atmosphere w outside seating is beautiful. The food on the other hand not so much . Got the chicken quesadilla, and the French dip sandwich w au jus. No flavor at all! I had to add salt and pepper . The onion rings were very good and my hubby shrimp and fries were very good. Don’t order the lemonade. It’s water w lemon.

Nice place to grab a bite to eat and drink in the poconos. Great craft beer selection. Open face roast beef sandwich was delicious as was the French onion soup and chili. If I am ever in the Poconos again and need a place to eat I know where to go!

First time here. Parking can be a challenge due to the place being right on top of a busy road. Got the nachos for an appetizer. Stacked with all kinds of ingredients and definitely enough for two. For dinner we had the French dip sandwich and the Reuben Burger. Both were large portions and on point. Comes with your choice of sides and we got the sweet potato fries and the steak fries. Both were good and the steak fries were obviously homemade. Price to food value was great overall. Add in 3 beers and only came to $65. And they have a pool, which I look forward to seeing in operation at the outside bar on my return trip.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at I loft during my recent ski trip.

The warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel right at home. From the moment I walked in, the owner or manager (I presume) extended a truly welcoming gesture, setting the tone for the evening.

The bartender, equally friendly.

A special mention to Alex, our server, whose warmth and hospitality made the dining experience exceptional. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.

I highly recommend Murphy’s loft for anyone looking for not just delicious food but also a welcoming ambiance and outstanding service. Thank you f or making my visit memorable!
