Went to Falls hotel/crab shack for dinner and the food was pretty good. Broasted chicken was top notch. The cheese steak and fries were delicious. Only downside was going through the bar to get to the non-smoking section. That section was closed due to lack of staffing but the waitress let us sit there anyway and was very accommodating..

Best crabs with the best prices!! We’ve never been unhappy with their food or service. The parking has improved which made a big difference. If you didn’t know it was there, you’d miss it which makes it a best kept secret for our area.

I have been a patron of Falls for 30+ years. I have never had bad service or bad food! All the help is friendly and helpful. We are fortunate enough to have one of the best bartenders in the area...Sarah! Friendly, accommodating and super fast! Like I said never had any problems. Recommend going here any day for great everything!!!! Go Sarah!!!!!! If anyone has a bad experience they must have created it themselves. Hope to see everyone at the Falls!!

Nice Dive bar along the river, servers were friendly but a little disorganized. My order was not entered correctly as I ordered a chicken sandwich and somehow that turned into a fried chicken breast not sure how that happened but i guess at least i got something. It was good so that was nice. Pricing is good and what you would expect. The entertainment was good Matt Jameson did a fine job thru out the night! Not a fan of smoking in bars sine PA outlawed it so that is a negative for this place as they allow smoking all day long.
