Memorytown

My first time riding an ATV and i was a little nervous at first but our tour guide Crazy Bill was great and made me feel so comfortable and I ended up loving it. I can’t wait to do it again!

Came here with a group of 16 for lunch after riding the ATVs across the street. Although the food took quite a while (there were a lot of us and only 1 chef) everyone’s food came out very tasty and the staff was friendly. Food was reasonable priced too

Just attended a wedding at Memorytown. Had a fantastic time. Food was great. Atmosphere was relaxed. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The bonfire afterwards just made the whole evening. Stayed over in a cabin, it was great not having to drive anywhere afterwards.

Had friends for weekend and wanted to get ribs. The old place we went too, Smokin Vittles, closed down but I noticed that they had a large smoker for BBQ. I called them to confirm the food that was available. So I’m convinced, head over to get food for 8 people. Waited in their line for awhile, place order, no problems. Then we wait. And wait like everyone else. Ribs finally come out, but they weren’t cooked in the smoker, they were cooked inside. In fact, I’m convinced they were boiled because the meat was cooked but with no grill marks, no sauce on them, nothing. Plain, boiled meat on a rib.
By the time I got these home after a 15 minute drive, they were barely warm, and I’m convinced they weren’t that warm when I got them.
To say I’m infuriated would be an understatement. Spent over $ 140 for this crap. What’s worse is that they have a capture audience and are utterly blowing a great opportunity.
Based on the wedding review below, I’m pretty sure I was there at that same time.

We had attended a wedding there July 18. It was the worst event we have ever been to. There were 150 people. they made us wait over 45 minutes to go into the cocktail party. then they had one 6 foot table for the cheese and crackers for 150 guests! it was a mad house and hot as heck. They had no clean up people or an y garbage cans, the server said she was busy passing snacks and they were short staffed. we all couldn’t wait to go upstairs to the reception for air conditioning. we arrived upstairs. It was cool upon arrival but soared to 93 degrees on our phones. They had a total of 5 staff for 150 guest. they forgot to bring out the champagne for the toast so the wedding couple had to toast with water. They had stated their staff had quit. The food was awful. Very very unorganized affair. It was very sad to see the wedding couple so upset with their special day that Memory town ruined for lack of professionalism and planning. You would think for a catering facility they would know how to conduct a wedding for that amount of guests. if they could not then they needed to decline the event. Shame on them.
I do understand things happen as no one is perfect. but this was a perfect storm. Maybe others will have better luck as everyone makes mistakes.

If you like to get away for some good food, music, in a great atmosphere with awesome people then Memorytown is for you. If you stay on site, all you have to do is park your car and have a great time and walk to everything at this cozy and comfortable step back in time from the hustle bustle kind of place. Very unique. The hospitality is great,…the improvements Anthony has initiated are moving in the right direction, Rob is a great cook, and Badger makes us feel like we’re home. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stopped by for the barbecue. We were disappointed. Unless you sat next to the fireplace, you froze. Service, although pleasant, was sluggish as they seemed under-​staffed. The food was OK, but arrived warm at best. Prices were incredibly inflated in comparison with how meals were portioned. Outrageously, sides were additional instead of included. Needless to say, we won’t return.

We had traveled to the Pocono area to vacation. Memorytown USA was listed as an attraction to visit by our resort. Although we recognized that we were visiting during the off-​season, we were very excited over the prospect for smoked barbecue in the restaurant.
We were a party of seven and arrived during lunchtime (approximately 1pm). There was only waitress taking orders, tending bar, and closing checks. At the time of our arrival, it wasn’t busy — one table of two and another table of 9. We placed our order (pulled pork and brisket sandwiches) and waited nearly 45 minutes for food that was lukewarm. As we waited the place became increasingly busy, again with only one waitress. As we waited, we enjoyed the ambiance — large fireplace, Christmas decorations and the view of the lake. However, despite the expansive, lit fireplace, the restaurant was FREEZING!
The food was overpriced and underwhelming. ALL sides were extra. For example, celery and blue cheese dressing which usually automatically accompanies an order of wings was EXTRA. Further, as mentioned above it was lukewarm, at best.
We will not be returning. We have since found much more charming establishments that are warmer, fairly priced and serve better quality food.

This review is for the Nightmare on Grange Road attraction.
My friends and I went to this event on Sat. evening around 6:30pm. (Hours are 6−11pm). There were about 20 people in front of us in line when we got there. When talking to other people in line, we were told no one was let in the attraction yet and they were waiting since 5:45pm. A couple of women came by complaining that they were there at 5:30pm, told the attraction wasn’t ready and to come back at 7pm. When they came back they had to go to the back of the line. No one was let in until about 7:30pm, then it was only 5 people. Twenty minutes later, the next group were let in — about 6 people.
All this time there was a VIP line that kept jumping people in front of the regular line. So, while there we did not move up in line at all after an hour and a half. Based on the number of people waiting without the VIP line, most people in line would never make it before it closed at 11pm.
We went to get refunds and they refused, calling the manager who came 15 minutes later and offered to upgrade us to VIP for an additional $ 10 since there were no refunds. He was belligerent and said this was how every other attraction worked. The attendant had told us there was a small crew that took the small groups through the attraction, then to an outside attraction, and had to return and reset for each group. This is why so few people were going through. Clearly they were grossly understaffed.
While we argued for refunds, they continued to suggest to new people coming in that they should get the VIP pass ($ 35, instead of $ 25).
This is clearly a grossly mismanaged operation intent on collecting as much revenue as possible in a short time before word got out on the scam.

One star is too many — this place was completely rin diwn and the rodeo was pathetic. Was was birdering in animal abuse. I have been to many other small, local rodeos and have never seen an even where a 300 pound man is in the loading shoot with a small bull. He then grabs the bull by the horns and as the shoot opens tries to flip it buy wrenching the small animals neck. I wont comment on rhe riders ability because those guys are risking their lives, butthis shouldnt be billed as world class and top riders, if no one spcan stay on for the full 8 seconds

This was something to do. We had our kids in the Poconos what can I say? Make an early evening of it. Get there by 4:30. Eat and drink are in different long lines so have one person go in the food line, one person go in the drink line an another save a table in the shade. Afterward go across the street for the show. If you are an animal activist, this is probably not the venue for you — they do NOT hurt the animals but it’s still hard to watch a baby bull get roped and the 75 kids + they let into the arena scare the crap out of three sheep. If you are from the city, you will be entertained there was a BRIDAL PARTY there! You just don’t see that every day unless you live in the country I guess.

We took a large crowd to the Memorytown complex to eat the at the BBQ and see the rodeo, which are usually pretty good crowd pleasers. There is a western style restaurant and outdoor bar area, (cash only), which is decent. I didn’t eat but others in my group said the chicken and pulled pork were pretty good. It is served cafeteria style in outdoor area. We then went to the rodeo across the street which is held every weekend during the summer. I didn’t expect much and wasn’t dissapointed in that regard. The rodeo was slow moving, there were not many events, and most of the bull riders could not stay on for more than a second, often bucked off before they could get out of the gate. The announcer kept a running routine up with a forlorn rodeo clown but it ended up being overdone. The rodeo only had bull riding and barrel racing and a few rope and whip demonstrations in between. They need to work on content and production. It was all a bit lame. Not worth the 18/​head price of admission. By the way I negotiated that down to 15/​head because I had a group.

Found this place on accident, was just driving around checking out the area. We ended up going in and playing pool and hanging out with the new owner. There was a guy playing music on stage, good beer on tap and friendly people. There is a cool lake out back and the owner sounds like he has some great plans for the place.
