Rare & Rye Steakhouse in Pennsylvania

"I’ve lived in this area for about three and a half years, and to be totally honest—I’ve hated it. I grew up in a more metropolitan city surrounded by amazing food, craft cocktails, and exceptional service, and I’ve spent years searching for a place here that could give me that same sense of “home.” Well, I’m thrilled to say I’ve finally found it. The meal was outstanding—generous portions, cooked to perfection, and the house-made pasta was a clear highlight. Service was equally impressive; timing was flawless, and every interaction felt intentional. As a former bartender and server, I really appreciate attention to detail—good memory, good manners, and that one arm behind the back go a long way. And the drinks? Spectacular. I’m extremely picky about cocktails, and these were easily the best I’ve had since moving here. I’m told that’s thanks to the bartender, Jessica. I’ve visited the owner’s other restaurant before—great food, but the drinks fell short—so fingers crossed they make Jessica the bartender trainer! Overall, an incredible experience. I also appreciate that “street clothes” aren’t permitted—it really adds to the upscale feel. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!"

"I’ve come here multiple times for two different celebrations (one being my mom’s birthday and the other being my own birthday) and between the service, food, staff, and atmosphere- everything is perfect. I highly recommend not only for a celebration but also just for a nice night out. Tonight, Will, Charlotte, Jess, Tabitha and the manager Christian gave my friend and I great service and I will be back."

"Going to rare and rye was such an experience. The food was good ( props to the Chef) , the service was good and the general manager, Christian, was so polite and was so attentive to our needs.

"If you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience, look no further than Rare & Rye, a New York style steakhouse nestled in the beautiful Poconos. My son chose this gem for his birthday dinner, and I can’t express how thrilled I am that he did! After living in the area for 13 years and trying nearly every steakhouse around, I can confidently say that Rare & Rye has set the bar incredibly high. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a professional and friendly staff that made us feel right at home. The ambiance is perfect—comfortable seating, stunning decor, and lighting that strikes the ideal balance between lively and upscale. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy great conversations without having to shout over the noise. Now, let’s talk about the food. Absolutely amazing! Each dish was packed with flavor, and the steak cuts were cooked to perfection. My taste buds were in heaven with every bite. And don't even get me started on the drinks—the Berry Sangria was a standout and truly out of this world. Overall, our experience at Rare & Rye was unforgettable, and my family and I are already planning to return for more delicious meals in the future. Don’t miss out on this remarkable steakhouse; it’s truly the best dining experience in the area!"

"I went in on Wednesday night for cocktail and it did NOT disappoint! Jess the bartender made me a tequila drink and it was so delicious but also so beautiful! So staff was so much fun and enjoyable to talk to. Christian the manager was welcoming from the moment I stepped in, which you don’t get that at a lot of other places! You’re welcomed with smiles, amazing energy and awesome vibes which in my opinion is somewhere I will continue to go to for that very reason!"

"Fantastic experience starting from the hostess with the most-ess, Cali, to finish. The food was outstanding—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and never overbearing. The absolute highlight of the night, though, was the Banana Foster Old Fashioned. It was creative, perfectly balanced, and easily one of the best cocktails I’ve had at a steakhouse. Can’t wait to come back."

"Such a great experience from start to finish! The Halloween-themed drinks were absolutely adorable. I tried the Heaven or Hell potion, and it was not only super cute but also delicious. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time, creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. A special shoutout to our server, Troy, who was absolutely top-notch! He was attentive, friendly, and made the entire dining experience even better. Between the creative presentation, cozy atmosphere, and amazing service, Rare & Rye really delivered a memorable night out. Can’t wait to go back!"
