Where to Eat Along America’s Iconic Highways | Eater

"Running north-south from the U.S.-Canada border through upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and down to the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans, US-11 can offer a full road trip itinerary in itself. While driving through Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA, as locals say), stop in Scranton for, you guessed it (probably not), seafood! Family-owned and operated by the Cooper family since 1948, Cooper’s Seafood House is both a quirky roadside attraction and a destination-worthy restaurant complete with a multitiered lighthouse and immersive nautical decor (plus, a gift shop for souvenirs). Past the arcade games and antique toothpaste collection, diners can cozy up at a booth inside the pirate ship (kids get paper pirate hats) and enjoy a plethora of seafood including clam chowder, oysters on the half shell, lobster mac and cheese, catch of the day, coconut shrimp, seafood alfredo, fish and chips, and much more." - Vox Creative

15 Scranton Restaurants and Bars Referenced on ‘The Office’ | Eater Philly

"One of the more iconic Scranton locations from “The Office,” this seafood joint (which plays up its connection in its marketing) is known for crab cakes and gets about half a dozen mentions on various episodes, and was memorably the site of a Michael/Holly lunch date. The restaurant itself also has a huge “Office”-themed gift shop and also sells memorabilia online." - Missy Frederick

A Fun, Unique Experience with Incredible Food! Copper Seafood House is such a hidden gem! The office-themed decor is so creative and fun it instantly sets the tone for a unique dining experience. It’s like stepping into a quirky, stylish workplace where the only job is to relax and eat amazing food! The shrimp dishes are absolutely the star of the show huge portions, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The menu has a great variety, and you can tell the ingredients are top quality. The staff is friendly, the vibe is upbeat, and the attention to detail in both the theme and the food really makes this place stand out. Whether you're going for a casual night out or something a little different, Copper Seafood House delivers on all fronts. Can’t wait to go back!

Cooper's aesthetics are really cool! There's so much to look at, you definitely need some time to talk around and check it all out. I had a lobster roll and crab bisque that was delicious! The waitress, Becky was less than I expected. I know they're busy but she rarely came to our table and acted as if us asking if they had a soup/salad combo was the stupidest question she ever heard. I'm from out of state and I'll likely come back next time because the food was great. Hopefully all the servers are not as rude and inattentive as her.

The seafood entrees were delicious, but the side dishes were SO bad that no one at my table ate any of them. The orange roughy was tender and well seasoned, the calamari was fresh, the fried shrimp was great. The rice side dish, the mashed potatoes, the zucchini veg side dish, and (I don't know how this is even possible) but even the French fries- ALL the side dishes tasted like they were cooked last week. On the other hand, the interior decor and atmosphere is so fun that maybe you want to come anyway. You think you know the theme of the restaurant but you don't. The food is 5/10 (9/10 entree and 1/10 side dishes equals to a 5/10 average) but the atmosphere is 10/10 so you can decide if it's worth the trip.

C’mon, who doesn’t love Cooper’s Seafood House. They have been crushing it since 1948. You don’t last 77 years in business by accident. Stop by today to pick up some of their signature Maryland Crab Bisque. This is worth travel across multiple states for. You can also grab it frozen along with their other soups and dips in the gift shop cooler. I have been enjoying Coopers since 1984. Been weaning by “gator bites badge” over the years when I order that appetizer. So many great dishes from Cajun catfish, Maryland crab roll, and everything in between. Besides the traditional and classic seafood dishes, they have the unique like frog likes. Aside from great food, they have a large beer list of over 200 beers. Enjoy you food on the deck, in the large bar dining area or walk down the large hall of fame full of history as well as a few video games into the multiple large dining areas. Always great food and service. That great customer service was epitomized by Josh C. today. He started when he was 16 and still serving great food to his customers with a great big smile and warm conversation. They do it right at customers. Treat yourself today or celebrate a special occasion.

Food was really good but the sauce canceled out the flavors of the other seafood. The appetizers are top notch. Atmosphere was incredible, over the top but in the best way! Loved it. So out of place with location but if I lived closer I’d probably go at least twice a month.

Food quality / price (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is sailor and sea faring oriented with a heavy accent on celebrity memorabilia. Even the restrooms have themed music piped in - Beatles in the men's room, and Elvis for the ladies. This place is HUGE!!! And filled with interesting collectibles. The menu leans toward fish and shellfish dishes. I had the Cheesy Haddock and chose a dinner salad (very good), and a baked potato as my two side dishes. The portion was very large, prepared well and served hot. The wife had the Seafood Crepes + shrimp, scallops, and lobster, and said it was good. We split a Rice Pudding dessert that was also a very generous portion, with plenty of whipped cream. After a couple limited distribution house cabernets and a Keoke coffee, we got the check which was for less than both of us guessed, an always welcome circumstance. Service was attentive and well executed. After dinner, we spent twenty minutes just checking out the many rooms filled with curios. This place has been around for 77 years, is kid friendly, has catering facilities, and is fun for everyone. A genuinely entertaining experience.. Also a great date place.

Cooper's is so iconic! It was a treat on this visit. We came for half price bottles of wine on a Wednesday. THE FOOD -alligator bites are a must have. They are so delicious, almost like a white fish taste and chicken consistency. We loved the remolaude they were served with. I think in the past they've done a buffalo sauce special of them as well which is just as good! And of course you get your gator taster pins -the fries are very well seasoned! We were here for a casual wine lunch (lol) and enjoyed splitting these two apps. THE DRINKS -in the summer on the patio it's always fun to get one of their speciality cocktails (tho many tend to be sugary, so be warned) today we were here for wine! -we chose a lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio that came out to maybe $11 after the special? Was great with our gator and fries. -they also had a wide selection of other wines and beer if you're looking for options! THE SERVICE -our server was super sweet and attentive! -she was knowledgeable but when I had a question she didn't know the answer to she made sure to ask the kitchen for me THE ATMOSPHERE -like I said, iconic. You're greeted by a shark, multiple pirates, a huge lighthouse, and an octopus overlooking all of that . -the different themes all around the restaurant and historic things to look at is incredible. You can have a new experience every time you go! As a kid I used to love looking at the little figurine displays inset in the walls and as an adult I still have to walk down the hallway and take a peek at the Flintstones. Overall, I will definitely be back as we really enjoyed our food (and I converted my friend to a gator eater!). I feel like quite a few years back the food seemed like it had gone downhill, but I can say with confidence my last few visits I over the past 4-5 years have definitely been delicious. Way to go, Coopers!

Best damn seafood place I've ever been to. Place is awesome , food is on the money wow worth every penny. The facility is beautiful. The bathrooms are beautiful. The staff is absolutely amazing. Their service was quick. The prices are reasonable. I drove an hour and a half one way from New York and I'll do it again very soon. Worth my time driving. Thank you

We chose Cooper's for dinner primarily because of their ties to The Office and we were glad we did. I chose the fish of the day which was Haddock. It was served broiled with your choice of two sides of which I chose broccoli and a garden salad. Husband had the fish and chips. We both enjoyed our meals very much. The veggies were fresh. The Haddock had a nice flavor. The fish and chips were light and not greasy as they sometimes can be. Our server was fantastic. So friendly and helpful with the menu. The vibe was sort of supper club, sort of out of this world. With vignettes throughout (including Star Wars, Flintstones, and GI Joe), a toy train that ran along the ceiling, a lighthouse that was part of the architecture, and, of course, an Office gift shop, there was a little bit of something for everyone. Nice stop plus we got a map of other Office locations we can check out before we leave Scranton. So fun!

I wish I made it here more, it's very close to me and convenient since it's open 7 days a week for both lunch and dinner. Today, Cade & Vic assisted me at the bar for Cinco de Mayo and were both great! $6 margaritas today to celebrate couldn't be beat! I had the shrimp quesadilla which was delicious and should be added to their menu!

Stopped in because we are office fans. The gift shop and ambiance was definitely one of a kind. There are some Office themed spots, but also random other theme spots. Really just seems like they're using the office as a tourist attraction. The waiter was nice, but not very observant. The food... If I'm honest, that might have been the worst tasting crab soup I've ever had in my life...

Came here on an Office based self guided tour. Jumped on the waitlist quick and spent time exploring this unique space. You definitely won't be bored while waiting. My husband and I both got the crab cakes. They're a bit more like crab stuffing than cakes, but the flavor made up for it. Tartar sauce was really great. I got a baked potato with butter (probably about a pound of butter but at least they weren't stingy) and a house made peppercorn dressing. The food was overall quite good. Service was reallllllly slow. It was very busy but it took nearly 2 hours and that's just a lot. But it was still a good experience

We found a seafood treasure in the Poconos mountains named Cooper Seafood House. An amazing restaurant with incredible decor and ambience. Our server Gabby was a joy, attentive and friendly. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. An amazing feast in the mountains!

Came as part of my 5,800 mile 30 city food trip after the Pocono nascar race. The venue itself was neat with its colorful office mural to outdoor area to a neat vibe inside. Server was super friendly. Draft list was a bit weak but decent. The crabby pretzel was fantastic! Lump crab dip and cheese baked over the pretzel. Lobster and shrimp linguini in plum Alfredo sauce was solid. Seafood cooked perfectly. Plum sauce slightly bland and needed red pepper flakes and some salt

When visiting Scranton this is one of our favorite places to go. The atmosphere is incredible with scenes from all the shows and movies I grew up with and love depicted throughout the property. There is something for everyone in that regard. From sitting at the bar across from a cutout of Norm from Cheers to the museum and gift store from the show The Office. I brought my wife a dundee award for best wife. The food is fresh and delicious with a ton of great seafood options. I always look forward to eating here. However the best part is the staff. You can tell they really do love this place and that passion goes into the care and attention we get everytime.

This is among the first results you'll see for restaurants in Scranton. It's easy to see why. (The Office connection is cool but there's so much more to Cooper's.) From the moment you first see the restaurant from the street, you know you're in for an experience. Great decor outside and in. And the Office gift shop and other references are a nice bonus, as you'll often need to wait to be seated if you're coming here during lunchtime. It's a neat little store with cool things to look at for those Office fans. I had the Halibut. I don't normally get fish but I gave it a try and was happy. Seasoned well and nice texture. I'm sure it's one of many great choices on this menu. To sum up, this place is a must visit.

Actually, do not know where to start. We sat at the 'main' bar and indulged in local craft beer, discounted martinis, French onion soup and lobster, multiple sides and chocolate mousse to close it out. Everything exceeded expectations, including the service. After exploring a little, the nostalgia effect took over as they had many artifacts/games from our childhood. Also, they had am additional interior bar (which was packed) as well as what appeared to be an upstairs area. We were here in late November, but it also looked like there was an outside tiki-bar and seating type of situation. If we lived closer, we would probably return weekly!

We had a fantastic lunch at Cooper's Seafood House! Our server Demetrie was great and such an awesome atmosphere & very cool aesthetic decor! The woman's restroom is Elvis themed with his music playing in it! So many nostalgic relics & a Office gift shop too! It's like a mini museum of the screen area and nostalgic TV, video games & such! Don't forget to say HI, to Norm at the end of the bar! I had one of the BEST lobster rolls I've ever had & the fries were exceptionally delicious! Also definitely get the Maryland Crab soup, you won't be sorry! Pat had the crab cakes, another phenomenal plate! Not sure how all that crab meat held together, certainly no fillers in this bad boys! We will DEFINITELY be making multiple trips from Williamsport to one of our new favorite restaurants!!

There's so many cool things to see in this restaurant! Take a walk around and explore. There is a gift shop dedicated to the show, The Office. Ok, the food- its pretty good, but I didn't think it was anything special. The fish in the Fish and chips had a weird texture and I wasn't impressed with the flavor. Service wasn't great the night we were there, but I believe they were understaffed.

The crab cake sandwich and fish tacos were excellent. It's worth a visit if you've never been there just to see the all the decorations. The kids love this place as would any fan of The Office.

All the food was delicious and the service was excellent The memorabilia has to be seen. It's a history museum with pictures, displays and artifacts.

This light house restaurant is just as fun on the outside as it is on the inside. The walls are covered in such classic pics! Also has a "The Office" show gift shop. We went in for dinner and ordered from a specialty menu. I had the lobster parm with noodles and my boyfriend the steak. Both plates were 10/10. Our server was so kind and constantly checked in. We loved our experience so much we went back the next day for lunch. Now this time the restaurant had an Oktoberfest make over with live music. The Shark bites were fun to try and got better every bite. We ordered the brat and pretzels. We wish we could have tried everything on the menu.

Although the service was great, the fried calamari was not very good. Lukewarm at best. However, the salad with the dill dressing was great and the crab cakes were good! Their drinks were good too and do like the decorations/ vibe of the place.

Amazing ambiance! The decor was different and interesting at every turn. Definitely worth walking around inside and seeing all the creative and fun things. Food was very nice, fish and chips and fish tacos. Delicious. Definitely the place to stop in Scranton. Bonus points to The Office themed gift shop.

Jolene M.

I'm giving a three because I'd like to steer you way from the fried calamari. Pure frozen rings. And not well fried. Probably the worst I have ever had. My dinner, the seafood Alfredo, was delish. But...no dinner rolls. I felt that was strange. But absolutely..do not order the calamari.

Stopped by this place for some oysters and beers and what a nice surprise , this location was where some of the office episodes were filmed . I honestly had no idea so it was the cherry on top. I ordered oysters , which were great and a beer. The restaurant is so nice , filled with so much to look at and they have a map of all the office filming locations to visit plus a gift shop for the fans . The bartender who took care of me was so friendly and great to talk to . I'd love to come back and try their menu , everything looked delicious.

This place is great! I love everything about it. I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad (comes with 2 small breadsticks) and my husband ordered the crabcake sandwich (comes with fries and a small coleslaw, both excellent). Our service was fantastic too. We came here bc of The Office but the food, service, and overall vibe were beyond my expectations. Lots of decor from the 60s & 70s.

What an interesting place! It's such a delight, full American culture, museum/seafood restaurant . It also pays homage to the beloved TV show that takes place here in Scranton, Pennsylvania called "the office. " So what are you waiting for your food and afterwards if you wanted to walk around you are welcome to see all the wonderful nostalgic treasures straight out of a antique store, or your quirky uncles international toothpaste collection.... Teehee My seafood dish (halibut) was delicious. We also got lobster, oysters, and alligator soup. Everything was a hit. Cheesecake was also delightful. I will definitely come back with a friend.

Extremely disappointed with the lack of flavors in the food. Started with the shark bites. Dry/over cooked with no seasoning. Had the all seafood dinner. This consists of 6 pieces of lump crab, 5 scallops & 6 small shrimp. Crab was tasteless, shrimp were overcooked and the scallops tasted like they were just heated. On the positive side the facility was very clean. The waitress was excellent. Extremely disappointed with food. Prices were high for what they offered. Once was enough. Won't be going back.

When it comes to seafood in Scranton, Cooper's is hands down the best in the city. I was raised in nearby Dunmore, and on very special occasions my family would dine here (My dear Dad wasn't rolling in money). Their bar appears to have an amazing selection, and there are photos and paraphernalia everywhere, and I mean everywhere, so one can easily spend several hours perusing the walls and inspecting the innumerable photos and memorabilia of Scranton. There's even a picture of Bill and Hilary taken when they dined there, but please don't hold that against the restaurant. I suppose if one is seated in a booth, you can be romantic with someone, but there is significant hustle and bustle and such extensive visual and auditory stimulation that it may be difficult to gaze romantically into someone's eyes and have a quiet and intimate experience., but what do I know? Outdoor dining is an option, weather permitting, and they do accommodate private groups. Being a seafood establishment, figures of pirates abound, and on the rooftop sits a massive octopus which was constructed by an acquaintance of mine who currently resides in Lexington, Virginia. I've enjoyed a meal at Cooper's thrice in recent months whilst attending to family matters in Scranton, and would certainly return when I'm in the environs again. Don't expect this to be a cheap meal. Our tab for 2 people was between $50-60 for each of those meals, and we imbibed no alcoholic libation. The place is crowded most days of the week, however they seem to seat people efficiently and have adequate staff who for the most part are quite pleasant. That was certainly the case with our servers. In summary, if you want to treat yourself ( who doesn't?) or treat someone else, enjoy seafood or Americana, and are anywhere near Scranton, definitely do check out Cooper's!

I understand this is a scranton, Pennsylvania classic so I had to give it a try. Overall kind of a cool atmosphere and bar however, the food was not so good. I ordered the fish and chips and it was over breaded salty and you could hardly taste any fish. I also had a cup of New England clam chowder, which was ok. This is a cool place to check out however, I would not return since the food was not the star of the show.

While traveling through I saw this restaurant as I was heading out to look for a different restaurant. I didn't like the looks of the other place so I came back here.,the first thing that happened was walking through the door with the welcome sign over it, I ended up in a small area with a sign asking me to wait to be seated. The desk and entire area appeared abandoned.

For an inland seafood specialty restaurant, you could do a little better for fresh seafood that's prepared without smothering. That's the worst of it. To its credit, the menu is extensive; many things are done nicely. Delicious seasoned French fries, homemade coleslaw made fresh daily. Strong basics are always a good sign. The restaurant is itself a substantial attraction, comparable to a historic boardwalk experience, with a good dose of novelty history and authenticity. Service was efficient and very well organized. Our server was the best in my memory. Konstance (with a "K") is an outstanding server. Courteous, deft, dignified and quick, with a persona so delightful, she absolutely added value to our dining experience, and we thanked her specifically for it.

Another must visit place if in the Scranton area. The chowder soup is delicious. The rest of the food we ordered at-least was okay, but the soup was really good. This is another location that use to be a rail road station. The restaurant is huge and if you are dining indoors there is quite a collection of items that will keep you entertained on your way to your table or you can reserve it for after dinner. It was hard to keep my husband at the table. He was fascinated by the collection of items. I won't spoil the review by mentioning them, you will have to see for yourself. Servers were pleasant, restrooms in good order, and we didn't encounter any issues finding parking. We went for dinner on two separate nights.

Alright so where to begin this review. We had lunch here, I was not impressed with the food. Let me explain, we flew in from San Antonio, foodie capital of the world. I ordered a Yeungling which was flat and horrid. I felt like I was licking a wet dog. The perogies were good, the hot pretzels were good too. I ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich which was disappointing. The service was decent, place was crowded and after cleared out but refilled quick. I will say the food was the worse part of this pretty cool place. If you like "The Office" or anything from TV history this is a place to check out.

What an experience! This popular The Office fixture did not disappoint. Despite being a great tourist attraction and featuring an exceptional gift shop, Cooper's is first and foremost a seafood restaurant. Armed with two starving children and a huge appetite, we started our dinner with an appetizer of shark bites; Delectable bit sized pieces of Mako shark; teriyaki marinated, lightly breaded, golden fried, and served with honey mustard dipping sauce. Delicious! One kid said it wasted like chicken (it didn't) and I found it to have a more tunacentric flavor. Even included a novelty pin declaring me an "Official Shark Taster"! As for the main entrees, both kids opted for the Dino Nuggets off of the kid's menu. Served in a cardboard pirate ship, both my son and daughter declared them "the best nuggets I've ever had" and finished up every last bite of the crispy prehistoric nuggies along with all the fries. I opted for lighter fair; can't remember exactly what it was called and I can't find it on the menu, but it was some type of baked fish smothered in a cheese sauce and served piping hot. Delicious is an understatement! That, along with the two sides I opted for, more than filled me up. Still, it tasted so damn good it took everything in me not to order an encore. After dining and unbuttoning our pants, we went to check out the gift shop. I spent way too much money, but all three of us left with some really unique souvenirs. Reasonably priced and high quality, this is one of the finer gift shops I've visited during our road trip from Arkansas to Boston. If you're a fan of The Office, a fan of seafood, or even just "in the area", this is a must stop location. Cooper's lived up to all the hype and I'll definitely be stopping in again on my way home.

First time ever visiting Scranton, and it was because I was really really craving seafood tonight. My fiancé and I are here for work and decided to make the 45 minute trip to try it out based on the pictures of the cool exterior. This place could easily be a museum. The walls are full of fun signs, the office references, and even a gift store! Service wasn't the most timely but the food made up for it. We got the bayou shrimp for an appetizer and it was amazing- just the right amount of spice. Lobster tails were the special tonight, so I had to say yes. My fiancé got the Maine lobster roll and well... it definitely wasn't the Maine staple. Serving sizes were small, but overall it was a great experience.

During past visits to Scranton, I have passed by and was curious, but never had the time. To celebrate a graduation, I finally had the opportunity to eat at Cooper's. The restaurant was busy on a Tuesday evening, but we were quickly seated on one of the outside decks. There are about three deck levels and all seem festive. The deck where we were seated had a bar, which was cool and also made it easy for our server to get our drinks quickly. Inside the restaurant, there is a gift shop that seems to pay homage to the television show, The Office. The ladies room is decked out with Elvis memorabilia and the speakers blast his hits lol. Moving on to the food, we ordered a few appetizers, which included shark bites, calamari, crab stuffed mushrooms, and the crab and cheese covered soft pretzel. The calamari was standard and could've used a teeny bit of seasoning, but the sauce helped it. The shark bites were fantastic and the mustard based sauce made them yummier. I used that sauce on the crab pretzel, because it was a little bland, but had a lot of crab and cheese on top which was a plus if it had some Old Bay seasoning or something to bring out the seafood flavors. The crab stuffed mushrooms were delicious but also could've used a little Old Bay. The only entrée that we had was shared and that was the seafood crepes. They were absolutely delicious, light weight and filled with shrimp and crab. The accompanying lobster sauce was scrumptious. I had the watermelon iced tea and my daughter had a strawberry daiquiri. The drinks were good and had a fair share of alcohol... No complaints! The servers were all great and had really good energy. Our server, Lily, was absolutely attentive and lovely! When I revisit, Cooper's will definitely be part of my plans. Also, the bill was reasonable, which made my day.
