Reviews for The Shanty on 19th in Allentown, PA
Stopped in for some drinks. Atmosphere was good. The band was great. Did not eat at this facility.
Went for Brunch on Sunday with Family. Waitress Joanna 5 star- Omelets 5 star- French Toast 5 star- Eggs Benedict 3.5 star (Eggs... over cooked on both dishes)- Coffee 5 star.

Visited Mother's Day 2019 - Had a wonderful Mother's Day Brunch..nice place and we all enjoyed our selections and should add the... special Bloody Mary was a big hit also. This place is off our regular 'beaten' path so I have to make a point of remembering itwhen we're thinking of a place to go. Service was also very good/friendly staff. All good.Thank you. Read more
Amazing restaurant. I've wanted to go here for years and something always kept coming up. Thankfully today was my wifes... birthday and we wanted to try something new. First let's start off with the parking. Hug parking lot. Then when you enter therestaurant it reminds you of a log cabin. With a hint of charm. We sat down and were greeted by Ronnie. Our waiter. He wasfriendly and always smiling. We ordered our food which came out super quick. And was well cooked. I highly recommend this placefor any occasion . See pictures. Read more
For starters service was extremely slow. While they put on the door that you must have a mask, several people where allowed in... without one and where not offered one. None of the staff is wearing a mask. (Except one of the cooks, but not the other 2 cooks)There are gambling games available, but the stations don't have sanitizer or wipes anywhere nearby. They also are reusing papermenus which is considered unsanitary by the CDC guidelines. Thankfully, I have already had C-19 and I'm still in my immunityperiod. However, as a man with a severe heart condition, reduced Lung capacity, and liver Cirrhosis, its hard not to think ofhow much they are risking the health of others. And to be honest it's all a shame because the food is good, but it was alldifferent temperatures the waffles were dry and luke warm, the chicken was easily the best part of the meal. Unfortunately thegood flavor was severely soured by the experience. I would suggest you find another place to have brunch. (Some of their decoris also political which I don't mind, but im not here to discover your politics I'm here to eat food. It's not that I evendisagree with it, I just find it a tacky business decision.) Read more
Came here (finally) after growing up in Allentown for the majority of my life, moving down south and now residing in Palmerton. ... Caught my eye on Gordon Ramsays show and had to try it out. Decor was top notch, very cozy comfortable atmosphere. Smallsuggestion and I could have done some research but the music there was so loud we could barely have a conversation. Just slightadvice but again I could have found out if a band was playing I just didnt think it would be an issue. Started off with peeland eat shrimp that were fantastic. Ordered the Shanty Burger as I recognized that from the tv show. Asked for medium and itwas cooked perfectly. Great flavor, super juicy. Only other flaw was our waiter was insanely inattentive. Did not check on usat all we had to flag him down a few times. That being said I'm definitely coming back. I own a few businesses myself and Ilove supporting the small local guys. To the owners - you have a great place, good food and beautiful decor. I'm glad to seeit doing well keep up the good work! Read more
Very disappointed. This is just a bar room anymore. But, my pear salad was delicious and blue cheese dressing great.
