While vacationing at Shawnee timeshare, we did a little culinary investigating, and the following is a list of the top local Shawnee and Pocono Mountain area restaurants:
Sam Snead’s Tavern – tavern right in Shawnee dedicated to golfer Sam Snead. Very cozy place featuring great happy hour drink specials, and appetizers large enough to feed a table of four! Excellent views of the Shawnee Inn and golf course from the patio. The picture shown on the left is a cavatappi pasta with shrimp and lobster dish from Sam Snead’s Restaurant.
Dansbury Depot – train-themed eatery in the heart of East Stroudsburg, only 5 minutes from Shawnee. This is a favorite eatery for locals in the area, and The Depot is well known for its friendly, family atmosphere. The food is reasonably priced and portions hearty, so come hungry!
Landmark Cafe – tiny “hole in the wall” with delicious specials. This place is so “underground” that they do not even have a website. Their address is 1158 Rte 209, East Stroudsburg, PA 18301 – a definite MUST EAT.
Alaska Pete’s – is a great destination for steaks and seafood. Located in the neighboring community of Marshalls Creek, Alaska Pete’s has been a staple for Pocono dining over the past 5+ years. Whatever you order, be sure to save room for dessert.
Saen Thai Cuisine – authentic thai food, very reasonable prices. Yet another food destination without a website, but do not let that discourage you. Located right in Shawnee Square (next to the post office and pizzeria) this is a place the adventurous eaters will not want to miss.
Petrizzos Italian – you can find the best Italian in the area here. Located at 5789 Milford Rd East Stroudsburg, PA 18302-9115, they lack a website or frills, but you can expect a wonderful meal.
Willowtree Inn – upscale dining in restored historical location, but not stuffy. Be sure to set aside some time to explore the grounds of the inn before enjoying a meal here. Budget tip – visit for lunch, they offer a lot of the same selections, but for half the price.
Barley Creek – restaurant and brew pub in Tannersville, PA. This is THE place to sit back and relax with a local microbrew in the Pocono Mountains.
