Chat-n-Chew Cafe

Excellent food. Excellent experience. I will come back. Note: its rare to find a menu so well laid out and easy to read. This menu is excellent in its design and layout. Im also very happy with the amount of options on the menu.

Homey atmosphere with nick-nacks on the walls. Wait staff very friendly and offer suggestions. Nice selections on the menu for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Adequate portions, won't leave you stuffed or hungry. Pastry items await you at checkout to take home. I had the Southern Benedict with fruit cup instead of homefries. Just needed a bit of salt to enhance the flavor. Fruit cup contained, cantaloupe and pineapple pieces, just enough. Definitely will return when back in the area.

This was such a cute spot! Service was quick. Food was delish! I had the Southern eggs benedict with homefries and mango boba green tea. 10/10 - we'll be back!

A typical, fun, local diner. Excellent breakfast menu and bakery. Amy was our server, fast, efficient, friendly. Denver omelet and two egg breakfast. Home fries with peppers and onions was a treat. Coffee was tasty and hot. A really nice meal. And, muffins for tomorrow's breakfast.

My husband and I came to Jim Thorpe for a weekend getaway. Not knowing the area, we relied on reading reviews to point us in the right direction for breakfast. Holy cow, were we impressed with our experience here! We actually came back again at the end of our trip! The food was outrageous, the service was wonderful, AND we were offered coffee to go on our way out the door! That made a huge impression. They had great coffee, and I've never been offered coffee to go at the end of my meal!! My husband and I recommend the Chat-N-Chew Cafe 100%!!!

My favorite breakfast place in the Poconos. Breakfast burrito or burrito bowl are my favorites. Great bakery also.

OMG this place is off the hook. You wont be disappointed. Breakfast is amazing. Staff here are upbeat and positive. It feels like you are welcomed here. They have baked goods that is decadent.

I stumbled into this spot while on a mini vacation in the area, and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise that we came back two days in a row! The Brooklyn Bliss Special—a pastrami, Swiss, and egg sandwich—was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. You can tell they use quality ingredients and care about what they’re serving. The coffee was also surprisingly great—better than what I’ve had at most diner-style places. And to top it off, the service is absolutely top-notch—friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. Definitely a place I’d go out of my way to visit again!

Came here from a recommendation from Yelp and someone we know who had a house in the area. Don't expect this place to be fancy- it's located in a small strip mall, but the staff was amazing! I called 15 mins before going asking if there was a wait for a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 kids) and since there wasn't a wait, we headed over hoping there wasn't going to be a brunch rush or something, especially on new year day. We got here and were greeted by every staff and sat down right away in the back (which was perfect). Our drink orders were take right away and our waitress was so friendly and patient with us when we started ordering our food. Food came out fairly quickly and it was SO good, I didn't even take pictures! All I have to say is that my group ordered different things from the menu and no one was disappointed with what they got. I don't remember the name of my dish, but it was basically sausage on biscuits smothered in gravy and a side of home fries. This is definitely a place I would come back to if I was ever in the area again. The place was a little dated but I loved the open kitchen and the friendliness of the staff. Good food and friendly staff is always a 5 star in my books

Came here with a party of 6, including 2 kids. I was really the only one who didn't love my food; I had the breakfast sandwich and it was really bland and dry. My husband had pancakes with lemon curd and loved them, and the two kids with us loved their kids meals from the breakfast menu. Our server was nice, but our order was wrong - I asked for my sandwich on a bagel and it came on a Kaiser roll; and my husband asked for no whipped cream on his pancakes but they came with whipped cream. We didn't bother sending it back, no big deal. The place is fun and cute with a lot of decorations. We came on Valentine's Day and it was very festive.

Great breakfast and Lunch menu! Great Service from beginning to finish Great Ambiance that encourage you to chat and Chew,

So close to our lake house. Went to breakfast with my bestie. We had a great meal. I had an amazing avocado toast with egg on top. The service was great as usual. Always friendly and never rushed. Just your fun diner vibe. So lucky to have this place!!

After trying sooooo many different places for brunch, we ended up dining at Chat n Chew. It was finally recommended by a family member that stays in the poconos every now and then. The service was great. They ended up giving the kids some stuffed animals for the holidays. This isn't the reason why the service was great, but it was definitely a plus. The cafe itself resembles something of a country style diner. Lots of different items on the menu from breakfast to lunch and some dinner items. I ordered the belly busted and my wife ordered the country fries steak. The 2 dishes were exactly identical except the belly busted was sandwiched between slices of bread. If you're not trying to be on a waiting list this is definitely the place to try.

Service was great, seated quickly, waitress attentive, choices per menu plentiful for anyone. Lots of seats inside. Decorations in wall humorous. Will definitely come back when in the area again, adding to list of favorites for sure.

I was in the mood for pancakes; had been craving it. We decided to go to this establishment as it had been recommended by some locals. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by friendly staff. We were bought to our seat right away. There were booths and tables all around with a visible kitchen. The table was well stocked with condiments and a roll of paper towels, nicely displayed. We order a short stack of pancakes egg over easy, bacon, home fries, and pork roll which reminds me of Canadian bacon. The eggs were perfectly made, bacon crispy and I actually enjoyed tasting the pork roll. To my disappointment however, the pancakes was a fail. I literally took one bite. It tasted like frozen under cooked pancake from a no name brand. The nice waitress offer to have the chef "cook it some more" but I do not believe that would have helped. Other than the pancakes, we enjoyed everything. I wouldn't mind returning and if I do, I will stick to what I believe to be their speciality; eggs, potatoes and breakfast meat. Oh! the coffee was pretty good but a bit pricey at over $3 for a cup.

Got the messy breakfast burrito and it lived up to its name. It was also pretty big and stuffed with steak, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. What made it messy was it was topped with sour cream and salsa, so you're probably not picking this up with your hands. Kept me full most of the day and service was pretty good too. Would definitely return when in the area.

Checked out the mammoth $17.50 breakfast sandwich from Chat N Chew in Blakeslee, PA a few days ago. The "Belly Buster Messy Mike" came with country fried steak, bacon, sausage gravy, two eggs, home fries, and cheddar on a Kaiser. Bruh... The flavor of the sandwich was very good. Sometimes with that many things competing on your palette it doesn't work, but this did. It's not just a massive stunt food. Country fried steak was cooked well and the sausage gravy was delicious. If I had anything that I'd recommend, I'd just cook those home fries a tiny bit longer...but that's personal preference. I was able to get through half of this before I waved the white flag. I have to say they also had tasty coffee here and our server was friendly and attentive. Chat N Chew Cafe - Didn't Suck!

This was steaming hot and delicious! Service is courteous and the food is cooked and served fast! Breakfast or lunch at any time while they are open. Quick fresh hot food, the coffee is also very good!

Friendly staff, fast service and good food! Definitely recommend for a quick breakfast.

The prices for a vacation spot are great. And the food is a good portion and plenty of healthy options. Chris vtrainers Personal Training

Visiting from Texas and saw this place. The food was great and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a bite to eat.

Chat and chew is the only reason I miss living in the Poconos. The service is always great and so quick.

This place is an *excellent* breakfast restaurant and a great value. The coffee is solid, the menu extensive, the portions generous and the food delicious. The wait staff is perfectly attentive and the atmosphere relaxed and homey. Highly recommended, can't wait to come back with friends and family.

A hole in the wall type environment with a casual brunch crowd. Menu offers typical breakfast and brunch options. Servers are attentive and kind. Food gets the job done

This has been the best breakfast i have had in a while. the food was out very very quickly, and there was barely any wait time, even though it was labor day. this place is so homey and the shirts are hillarious.

Food is great, The waitress Davini Was a doll. Extremely welcoming and professional. Food came out fast, But when the bill came, they charged the six dollars for one pancake with chocolate chips. It did not show on the menu what one pancake would cost, and it actually averaged out as the same price if we got short stacks. We also noticed that there's an automatic four dollar charge so they can "offset The cost of using a credit card" Which is absolutely ridiculous because everywhere we go or have went only require that at least $10 is spent and no fees would be added to your card. This is a clear cash grab, And honestly, extremely unprofessional and disgusting. Imagine if they have 200 customers coming in today times that by four that's $800 In one day. Times that by Let's say six days a week, That's $4800 a week. Let's say $4800 a week times four, that's 19, 200 a MONTH!! This is a hustle and I work too damn hard to just get charged for no reason. I told the waitress about my concerns, she was again extremely kind and said she would speak to the manager, which I believe may also be the owner, Don't quote me. The manager was seen yelling at the waitress from a not too far distance by my eldest daughter and was heard saying " Maybe if they just looked at the menu instead of complaining" A few minutes later, the manager walks up to us Really jazzed up coming off like she drank 12 cups of coffee In a matter of an hour. Her responses were very sarcastic and dismissive, And attempted to make us appear As if we were trying to get some sort of discount without actually saying it. As a pro Latino male, Seeing how this all white staff or customers, And white manager or owner And how they treated this young black queen, Was heartbreaking. She told her she had a child and needed to make a living, but she could see that she wasn't really happy. I get this place may be a local favorite, But for me and my wife and kids to be staying at split rock resort in Lake Harmony for my 50th birthday, And this being my 50th breakfast gathering, It was a huge letdown and I would never ever return and I would encourage others to have them stop Adding four dollars to every customer's check. We're gonna add a picture of our bill and you could see it makes no sense.

We love it here! Made to order delicious food. Also wonderful and friendly staff with great recommendations.

Food is really good and hot and satisfying.The staff is friendly and always make sure your needs are satisfied. The place is clean and has a really old style diner atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it.

Original founders have sold the business to one of the reliable and hardworking staff folks. Always a smile, hustle for those refills, and keeping the regulars happy. One a recent visit, I had the pork roll, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser and it was absolutely perfect. Eggs over medium just a bit runny. Rolls are lightly toasted on the grill. Generous amount of pork roll and this time provolone cheese. Just the best. Fun snarky pictures on the wall always gets a grin.

Excellent food. Friendly service. Funny signs and t-shirts. Big fan of their breakfasts but they also have the best cheesesteaks outside of Philly.

Perfect breakfast. Eggs and French toast were delicious! Very quaint local vibe as well

Visiting the area for a girls getaway. We popped into Chat and Chew for breakfast. We were promptly seated and told about the specials on the board. Jack was great. He has a great demeanor and is a fun chat. Breakfast was delicious. The special, Barbacoa Benedict was a great alternative to the norm. Absolutely yummy! The coffee was always full, the food was great. This is a place where the locals go, and there is a reason. It's a great meal that doesn't break the bank.

Went for breakfast. Place was busy but lots of empty booths. There were 3 other families waiting. We waited too. No one even raised there eyes to acknowledge us nothing. Guess they don't need my business. If they don't even acknowledge you, what are they serving you?

My fiancé and I happened to stumble across this place while looking for breakfast nearby. On first appearance, we weren't sure how this place would be. But, the food was awesome. Like 10/10. Haven't had breakfast this good in a while from a restaurant. Felt very authentic, not microwaved eggs like most places nowadays. Service was nice and quick. Coffee was pretty good, too. There is a surcharge on card payments so make sure to bring cash. Will definitely come back!

Very friendly and great service. Food was amazing. Nothing was to hard for them to do. Service was with a smile.

Perfect location to take the family or meet the friends for breakfast or lunch. Owner is amazing. Staff is exceptional and food is fast and great. Love the eggs Benedict or BLT Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.

The food was delicious! The salads were very fresh and amazing! The philly cheese steak was worth the wait. The mop was Cheesy and loaded with meat and my fav, mushroom and pepper. The wait staff was super friendly and willing to make recommendations when asked. Love the decor too! All around great experience for a reasonable price. Lots of food for the dollar!!! Definitely worth coming back for!!!

Great Food. Great Service. My cousin wasn't happy with her food so they did everything to accommodate her. The atmosphere is very eye-catching yet so simple. I had the Patty Melt and it was cooked great but it did lack a little seasoning. If the seasoning was better easily a 5 star gem.

Very unassuming place. Good eats. Excellent service! So good we ate there twice in two days!

Staff is always friendly and food is delicious. The ambiance is nice and cozy, and having a delicious meal with it makes this place worth it. From classic breakfast meals to unexpected lunch offers, this is a good option when in the Pocono region.

Great breakfast. Good latte too Mikes breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito are recommended..

Well run and priced right. The staff is genuine and helpful. Great selection for breakfast and lunch.

This is everything you want in a local breakfast spot. Incredible food. Great service. And a staff who you can tell loves working together. Highly recommend the sausage gravy. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

We loved the food and the waitress was ver nice and attentive. We will definitely be back and have already told others visiting to go there.

I moved out of the area to Colorado about 6 years ago, every time I'm visiting this is a must stop. Consistently great food and great service. Everything comes out hot and pretty quickly. The staff are friendly and there's lots of fun signs and decor to look at while you wait! Overall, yummy food and a great environment to enjoy it.

**COVID EDITION** I was around the area to go snowboarding at Jack Frost and stumbled upon this restaurant. Don't be fooled by it's location - the quality of this restaurant is S-tier. The staff is covid regulated and seated us at a good distance between other customers. We ordered a messy burrito and a messy mike sandwich. Both of which very flavorful and filling. Couldn't finish the whole meal and saved the rest for later (still tastes great microwaved!) Please do note that these meals do have combinations of a lot of heavy food (which I didn't mind at all, I really enjoyed it) just in case for those who are looking for a lighter meal like a salad lol. Would definitely swing by again if I'm ever in the area!

Good place to eat. However long lines every time I have been there. The inside is covered in funny signs. Staff can be slow due to high volume of people eating. But if you have the time. The food is good

Food was very tasty. Nice portions. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Lived in the area for a very long time and always was in a hurry and unable to stop. Glad we stopped this time. Will be back.

Nice ! Friendly service, great food - awesome weird shaped French fries lol We got the chipotle chicken wrap & stuffed French toast and would recommend both !

We had a very good experience at Chat n Chew Cafe. Our order came in time and was delicious. The staff was very nice and polite.

CnC may look like nothing special as a nondescript storefront in a low end shopping center, but don't be fooled by the humble appearance. To start with, CnC took corona precautions by giving out pagers and encouraging patrons that are waiting to go shop elsewhere. The decor says fun, and the staff was friendly. First up was the trendy "hot chocolate bomb," which was actually the bomb. Turns milk blue, makes taste buds happy. The table ordered a gamut of food. Waffles were fluffy and powdery sugared, eggs were locally sourced and cooked to perfection, warm maple was actual maple syrup, corned beef was legit, turkey bacon was better than when I make it, pig bacon was thick, pancakes were light and fluffy, home fries were crispy, and the toast was not over buttered. On the way out, there were funny novelty T shirts for sale, as well as Frog and Gator jam. To sum up- 10 out of 10, will eat there again!

I was up visiting the Mohegan Sun casino and stumbled across this place. The name alone instantly made me hungry. As I was driving through the old fashion plaza I stopped and thought this place may not be that good. Let's talk about putting a foot in my mouth. CUSTOMER SERVICE: From the moment I opened the door to walk in I was greeted with Southern Hospitality even though I wasn't in the south. Absolutely love the staff and I really enjoyed reading the back of the shirts for they're all different and they say the craziest things. FOOD: The food came out extremely fast and hot. We tried the messy Mike's sandwich and OMG it's big enough for two people to eat. If you're ever in the area you must give this place a try and don't forget to read all the quirky things on the wall as you sit down and wait for your hot I'm ready to eat food.

If you're a local or a visitor to Blakeslee, you have to try this downhome, kitschy eatery. Quirky décor with a strong sense of humor, Friendly waitstaff, and a menu that is not the run of the mill like so many others. Breakfast is a must! The lunch menu is also very good but items like the Messy Mike, and some unexpectedly great breakfast specials are the way to go! Great food in a fun environment. You'll know your in the Poconos!

We ordered two sandwiches however we got one sandwich and a platter instead .... They were really busy so I think we will give them another try on a less busy day. However since they are kinda pricey I hope they get it right next time. Cost for belly buster sandwich and big one platter (which is what they gave us instead of the ultimate sandwich we wanted) to go cost $40.00

A group of friends, my fiancée and I decided to stop here based on their Yelp rating. We stopped on our way back home from our weekend getaway in the Poconos. At first I did not think it was a sit down restaurant as it was a part of a strip mall but I was glad to discover that it was. The service was good. Nothing over the top but good. The waitress cracked a few jokes here and there and kept it light. There were a few instances where I felt the waitress could have been slightly more attentive with coffee refills etc as it wasn't too busy since it was a Monday morning after 11. Our food did take a little above average time to come out but there were 7 of us so I can definitely understand. The food was amazing. I ordered the belly buster and could only finish half. It was very good and filling. The coffee was delicious as well. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area. The rest of my group also loved their dishes as well. I would love to get a sample of the rest if their offerings some time.

Service was exceptional even though they were very busy. Nice little find near JF mountain. .

Great food, amazing service, and most importantly food done right. This is one place we are excited to come back to for years to come.
