Gresham’s Chop House

My husband LOVED the cheesecake!!! Calamari was quite good! Service was so-​so. Would come again and give it another try!

Had the Eggplant Parmigiana with penne pasta and salad with their house vinaigrette.
The salad was really good with the house dressing. The main dish came out hot with a large breaded slice of eggplant with a marinara sauce on top of the penne. This was excellent and I being vegetarian, I would recommend this to folks practicing that lifestyle.
The only bummer was the onion rings I ordered and asked for a second time never found their way to me. Luckily they were not on the bill so I was happy with that.
I would like to see a couple more veggie options here but being a Chop House I don’t believe that is in their mindset.

Was pleasantly surprised with this place. Got the French onion soup which was great. My girlfriend got the chicken tortilla soup which was also great. Then came the bread with oil and Parmesan, very authentic Italian. Then the house salad that comes with our meal. The house Italian garlic dressing was amazing. I got the penne pasta with Cajun chicken and Alfredo sauce. She got the penne with vodka sauce with chicken. Both dishes amazing, but just way more food then we needed. Brought about half of it home. Our tab came to about 50 $ which was a great value for the amount and quality of food. Very pleased with the atmosphere and view as well as the food.

Food was good, but I went for one of their weekday specials. Food was good but $ 8 for a beer and $ 4 for a cup of tea. I’ll doubt that I’ll go back

I love it here. The food is great and the wait staff is nice and attentive. The red haired girl behind the bar could use some help learning how to serve the customers though. She’s usually very short to my party when we sit at the bar.

We frequent this place for years.
For the life of me why doesn’t the bathrooms have heat! !!
No hot water in the men’s room.
Doesn’t make sense.

Enjoyed this restuarant very much. I had the French onion soup which was Delicious not to big so plenty of room for dinner. Myself and my sister ordered the special, Pork Osso Bucco and the Seafood Cakes both were to die for. Snicker Brownie Ala Mode for dessert made the meal complete. The waitress was very personable and patient with us. Overall a wonderful night out with the family made more enjoyable by good drink, good food, good company. What more could you ask for.

My wife and I have eaten here twice while staying a week. Food was wonderful and service was fast. Sat is a very busy day Sunday much slower. We will have another dinner here before we leave.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of dining at Gresham’s on two occasions. On each visit we were well treated by hostess and staff. The food was terrific. On our most recent visit my wife had the shrimp over angel hair pasta. It was excellent. Accompanied by a wonderfully fresh salad she could not have been more pleased. I had the seafood cakes with caramelized carrots. While I thought the carrots were a bit undercooked, the cakes and salad were top shelf! This restaurant sits just across the street from Lake Wallenpaupack. It’s exterior views and interior ambiance are wonderful and just add the icing on the cake. A great restaurant!

Had to wait, not a big deal. Wait staff VERY inexperienced, had to wait for drinks, provided water with some ceremony, no bread. Not given a run down of the specials. NO PRICES listed or mentioned, either. Got Cowboy steak rare, not med rare, as requested. Hubby got his dinner before me, we’re given apologies and more bread, finally my entrée arrived undercooked. It was one missed cue after another with the waitress, hubby got pasta. We each had a beer. The cost? $ 75.40, not able to leave a great tip, because we did’t think it would cost so much, vs. the Alpine, where we get premium imported beer, an appetizer, entrée that never fails, and desert for about $ 60-​$ 65, deserts are homemade at the Alpine, which we’ll be returning to next time we can go out. Tonight we’re having hot dogs at home!

The Resturant design with a view of lake is really beautiful. The service (Amber) was right on– attentive but not overly so. The food was enjoyable– tasted well and good portions sizes however it wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped. Salmon was slightly overcooked and the salad was small and plain. I would come again if in the area but not make a special trip just for this Resturant.

This one is the better food choices around the lake. Unfortunately service is weak… Hostess is weak. I was told no reservations for less than 8 but I watched others with party of 6 get seated with reservations… Will continue to go but hopefully the help improves.

We go out to dinner quite often and were excited to hear about Greshams. First impressions were very good, The view was very nice and we liked the option of sitting inside or outside. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived and the waitress came quickly to get our drink order. So far, so good.
I was taken back with the limited selection of wines given it is a chop house but I wasn’t drinking wine so it wasn’t a big deal (just something I noticed for another time).
Menu selections were good and I had a hard time deciding what to get. I asked the waitress which of two she recommended and she said I couldn’t go wrong with either.
We ordered the calamari and the mozzarella block for appetizers. I think the oil was too hot for the mozzarella as the outside was borderline burnt but the inside could have used a minute or two more. The calamari was just done (could have also used some more time in the fryer) and very bland. We left most of that on the plate but was never asked if there was a problem.
Salads came with the meal and my husbands was good. Mine was served on a warm plate so the lettuce got limp very quickly and the dressing was warm too.
He ordered the NY Strip and I ordered the Jack Daniels Steak. The presentation was very sloppy. I had ordered a side of pasta instead of a baked potato. The pasta wasn’t drained so there was a puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl. The sauce was then thrown on top, some of which was outside of the bowl and on the plate. it was so watery that the sauce just didn’t stick to the pasta. The steak was cooked well but was not given time to rest so the blood of the meat was all over the plate. The portion size was more like a filet.
My husbands steak was chewy
Service was not great either. We finished our drinks after our appetizer and both had empty drinks through the salad course. The waitress never stayed at the table long enough for us to ask for a drink and didn’t come back to see how things were.
There was a young blonde girl that cleared tables between courses. She did a nice job and was responsive when asked for something but when the server doesn’t do this, there is a lost opportunity for good customer service.
We were excited up until we got the food.

Dinner for 2 tonite. Queen cut prime rib correctly done. Excellent glazed carrots. Stuffed rigatoni good. Nice salads. All priced reasonably. Drinks done nicely, except need to learn lemon twist.

Beautiful atmosphere with large picture windows overlooking the lake. I ordered the Prime Rib special which was pretty cheap at just 12 bucks and was good. Could have been a bit more rare but still had a decent flavor (and trust me getting prime rib in this town that isn’t grey is nearly impossible) while my wife ordered the filet which was surprisingly good. What upset me most is that we ordered the soup of the day … chicken dumpling soup and it sounded really good. However when i tried it I knew I had had it once before. It tasted like it came out of a progresso soup can. It had that metallic taste to it like it was from a can. If this place is serving canned soup… if they have that little amount of passion and are taking those sorta short cuts then that’s really quite awful to be charging that much for something i can make from going to my own supermarket. Oh and … if you’re going to use canned soup, try not to use progresso… that stuff is just horrible.

One of our ‘go to’ places in Hawley. Food is good, nice big bar, lots of pub tables around the bar. Dining room with a view of the lake and outside deck. Can’t go wrong.

Our group of six was here this evening after Wally fest. We had great drinks, food, and service. The prices were very reasonable in all our opinion. The only reason I am reviewing this as four stars is because there was a delay when receiving our last two meals. We are Greentown residents and we will definitely be back!

I was very disappointed with this place. I had really high hopes for it.
AMAZING view, great décor, large beautiful deck with lounge furniture. Great ambience. Friendly, helpful staff.
I don’t remember what I ordered but I do remember being disappointed. I would definitely give it another shot and try something else though because I loved the atmosphere so much.
My fiancé and I bought a bottle of wine and just sat on the deck and relaxed.
Higher priced

When I go out for dinner I really truly want something exceptional. If this is the case for you I recommend not coming here. Although my flank steak with a Jack Daniels sauce was very good, being the restaurant is considered a steak/​Chophouse I would hope so! The fish cake entrée was also quite enjoyable. But their baked potatoes certainly need some attention and their vegetable side dish is a joke. Unless you love over cooked frozen baby carrots. It would be so simple to easily put together a fresh side of vegetables. I wish the chef would go eat at an Outback steak house to see how it can be done.
With a few simple easy changes this could be a three star* restaurant.
If you’re looking for a good steak and french fries this is the place to come, for sure. But it certainly misses the mark for fine dining.

Okay place, not great. Chicken parm was overcooked
Salads were ordinary. Oh, and kitchen? When the customer says «hold the onions», it literally means The Customer Doesn’t Want Onions. So Don’t Put Onions On It.
