Lehighton (/li'hɑitən/) is a borough in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, United States, 77 miles (124 km) north of Philadelphia, and 54 miles (87 km) south of Scranton. In the past, it developed early industries because of water power from the Lehigh River. With the location of a repair facility here and its regional operations, the Lehigh Valley Railroad became for years a major employer of thousands of people from the area. Post-World War II railroad and industry restructuring led to job and population losses.

I was with a party of six with reservations at 7 on a Saturday night. We were promptly seated on time. The staff did a nice job setting the table so we did not feel cramped in the dining area. Everyone enjoyed their selections. The Black Bass and braised beef had high reviews. The wine offerings were a nice varied selection. The interior is bright and casual. The wall art is a nice contrast which invites conversation.
Compliments to the staff. They were attentive and very pleasant. I highly recommend Moya.

They have home made ice cream in many tasty flavors. Love their waffle cones. The shop is small and crowded but that's what you have to expect with ice cream this good.

Wow that was weird...Nice place, handmade ice cream pies that look delicious, a pleasant surprise to find an "old school" general store / sweet shop with modern flair like dynamite bath-bombs and local honey. We got there at 7 on a Friday. No response to my wife's friendly, "hi" upon entering, but no problem the fizzicians were young and as long as they are motivated enough to be there on a Friday... Good on Them. There was a group of three ordering when we got there, my wife, my young daughter and I walked around and browsed for a few minutes while the two fizzicians prepared their order of three ice creams and some other various items...My daughter and I were at the counter waiting to order for an easy 7-10 minutes still, long enough to get really psyched for the sundays we were ready to eat...but still not acknowledged by either fizzician who are both within 6 feet of us!....In the meantime two other folks walked in sat at the counter and started chatting with the fizzician and ...you guessed it... she took their order...My wife had already left because she thought there was a strange vibe in their like they were tourist shaming...Even though we live three miles away and I am sure the fizzicians are taught, that is a no-no...
I left without ever getting to taste that sunday...Or get those bath-bombs...And that sucks
The hardest thing in the world was thinking I would disappoint my daughter, but she understood and learned the meaning of customer service...
This is a common occurrence in Carbon County...And we are BIG tippers

My wife and I went here on a recommendation from a co-worker. We live in allentown but are always looking for something new to experience. When we arrived there was a twenty minute wait so we grab seats at the bar. The bartender was courteous and professional. After about ten minutes our table was ready. They had a solo artist playing guitar who was pretty good. It made the entire atmosphere more relaxing. Our waiter Keith I believe his name was came up and took our order. As we waited for our food our drinks went empty for a while to the point that they busboy noticed and told our waiter. Even after being told it took him about five additional minutes to return. When he returned he asked us if we would like something to drink. Sorry but of course we did we haven't even had any food yet and our drinks are empty. My wife had a garden salad and a hummus platter. I ordered french onion soup and one of the specials which was a filet and crab cake. My wife enjoyed her meal which was enough to take some home. My dish was another story. I asked for the steak to be medium but when it arrived it was well,well done. The crab cake was dry which they served a seafood sauce on the side that help me eat it. The mashed potatoes looked great but we're bland along with the squash. Again our drinks went empty having Hodini as our waiter. When he finally arrived we had been waiting for over fifteen minutes. He asked if my wife needed a box which she did. I then asked him how did I order my steak? He looked it up and while looking at the entire steak still on my plate he said medium. I told him this is well done. His reply was well I can't do anything for you now and walked away. Really?? Maybe if you checked on your customers while they had their meals you would know. This could have been his first day on the job so I bit my tongue giving him the benefit. I looked to speak to a manager but there was no one in the dining room overseeing the operator or checking on tables and the hostess looked very young which I wasn't going to take my frustration out on her. I know this is first world country problems and this is no Michelin star restaurant but I think that you can expect some sort of standard when you go out. My advise go here for a drink and a sandwich but if you want something else (like a good waiter or non-finger food) go somewhere else. Our total $62.09

Reviewed By Sharon K - West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States
We stayed at a friend's house and they recommended Trattoria 903. We went hungry and had stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were very good. We got a beet salad that was fresh and delicious (enough for two people). It was very tasty! Husband got a special and enjoyed it and I got the lobster stuffed ravioli's. They were out of this world and I ate every bite. But that is not all, we ended up seeing a very old business colleague who sent over complimentary drinks to our table. We were tired from biking/hiking all day and the food really hit the spot. We decided to have a drink at the bar and met two local guys who were so friendly who also bought us two drinks. The bartender (woman) was so, so friendly and we ended up staying at the bar for two hours having a blast. We will definitely go there again. Make a reservation. We were lucky because we went at 5pm. Place was jam packed by the time we left.

8. P.J. Whelihan's Pub + Restaurant
Overall Ratings

When we converted our former restaurant, Platz's Inn, to PJ Whelihan's Lehighton, we kept the historic charm, upgraded the technology and added an awesome outdoor deck. The result is a great mix of neighborhood pub charm, with an expanded menu featuring fun daily specials, served by our same friendly staff. What began as a favorite destination pub with Lehighton locals and vacationing travelers, remains the same great place today.

My wife and I were touring sights in the area and stopped for a bite to eat recommended by the manager at Hampton Inn nearby. we ere tired, wanted something light, close and reasonable. This was a great choice. Food was good-we had the Turkey with stuffing. Prices were reasonable, nice varied menu and the decor was on the romantic side.
9. Stone Row Pub & Eatery

Up Race Street is a row of buildings with stone facades overlooking the main street of Jim Thorpe. Prominent of these connected buildings is the Stone Row Pub and Eatery with two entrances leading either to the main floor dining room or up a narrow staircase to the 2nd floor bar and dining area. The place is too cute and interesting! We walked up the stairs and we greeted by one of the owners. We asked for the table for two at the alcove window from which you could see the main street and witness some of the parade (it was ST Patty's Day). There drink selection was small but surprisingly good.
We started with the devilled eggs (got to try them). A bargain at $5.50 - Delicious and unique. We then ordered the salad with steak (so much steak we thought they may have made a mistake-intentional). The salad was absolutely fresh and tasty and the steak perfectly prepared @ $15.95. I had ordered the Beef Burger with cheese with ginger coleslaw - Wow. The burger ($13.45+$.50 for the cheese) was exceptional! Not your ordinary burger fare. We capped off the dinner with coffee and their lemon tea cake - also exceptional. However, the menu is somewhat limited and one can surmise that it's because they put so much effort into their food preparation. The service was prompt and courteous and the ambiance was at the same time relaxing and pleasantly eclectic. Patrons all seemed happy and content with their meals as we were leaving the place after about 1 1/2hrs. This is definitely a go-to target for our next trip to Thorpe.

My grandfather 1st took me here in 1965 when I was 8. 50 years later and I'm still going. hands down the best ring bologna ever. The meats are fresh and the place hasn't changed at all. I'd swear some of the same guys are still working there. Great place and great memories.
