Charlie Weaver’s Restaurant

Hm. I went here with a large party. This place seems like it is literally in the middle of nowhere; if you are going there at night be careful as you may drive right by it like we did. Does not look like much from the outside but the interior is very homey and has a, «Country,» feel.
The service was spot on considering we were a large party. Everyone was very polite and I was supposed at how the place packed out after an hour or so.
However, the food was not terrible but very uneven. We had a few pastas at the table that looked and tasted good. The amount of pasta was plentiful and after sampling the Shrimp Scampi I found it quite tasty. Someone had the Prime Rib which was huge! Quite good as well with a tasty horseradish sauce. The other entrees were not so good. The brisket was very dry, my ribs were really, really bad. I would guess that they had been frozen and defrosted many times as the meat was practically gray. It came with a half chicken and french fries so I ate that instead.
Appetizers were okay. You can’t mess up mozzarella sticks, the nachos were interesting, they are made with waffle fries. The stuffed mushrooms had a very tasty stuffing but the mushrooms were not so great.
Overall it was not a bad experience. One of the problems is that there menu is so vast. It is impossible to make everything that is on there with some degree of skill. Also, I would imagine that with such a vast menu, it must be hard to keep all the ingredients fresh to construct each dish. A smaller menu would probably be better. And ged rid of the BBQ.
Not too bad but not sure I would go back.

We decided to try the Southern Style Smoke House Specialties. The staff was so friendly. We felt as if we were visiting family. They have good prices. They have a great menu variety & awesome portion sizes. The beef brisket was delicious. We ended up taking some home and enjoyed it as sandwiches for lunch. We will be back to try the chicken and barbecue beef short ribs.

Went to Charlie Weaver’s last night. Everything was excellent from the service to the warm rolls to my French onion soup. Very large menu selection it’s a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive very cozy atmosphere. After hearing about this place we decided to try it and it was well worth the trip we plan on coming back with others!!!

We’ve tried this restaurant twice and were very disappointed each time. In a resort area, if you’re going to charge resort prices, the product and service should match. Charlie Weaver’s Restaurant & Bar offers mediocre food and service at resort prices.
Their wait staff is not very well trained and not very attentive. They ask how things are without stopping for you to reply. The owners should consider training their staff on customer service skills and working together as a team.
Their kitchen staff does not how to grill steaks. On the first visit we ordered filet mignons medium rare and they came out medium at the rarest. The second visit was the night of their «Two Can Dine for $ 19.99» where we ordered the ranch steak medium rare. One of them came out very medium well and the other was well done.
Their chicken parmesan special did not come with a second side like their other dishes did. The chicken breast was small and looked like a normal chicken breast serving cut in half. There was way too much cheese that was melted way beyond the chicken to nearly burnt from the grill. The linguine was not well drained and there was very little sauce. This would have been a much better dish if served on a plate rather than a bowl and a smaller portion of pasta to allow for some sort of vegetable.
The salads are good; however, the staff tends to drench them in dressing. Ask for your salad dressing on the side. The fresh-​cut french fries were very good when they were hot. When we had the fries on the second visit, they arrived to the table cold.
At these prices you would be better off driving a little farther to Hazelton or Wilkes-​Barre.

Cozy atmosphere. Wonderful dining experience. Waitstaff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.

WOW! Tonight was out first time here for dinner. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Our waitress was Betty, she was great! The food was amazing, and the service was top notch. We can’t wait to come back and bring some friends!

Great food! Clean atmosphere! Could use more help has our waitress had to many tables.

Went for my birthday last year so this is not that current. The ribs were meat lacking and dry. Very quiet when i was there. Knew it was a local fave but did not live up to the hype. No beer on tap.

Charming little place. Good food and very nice portion sizes. I had their pork chop special and one of these was enough but it came with two. The service was nice, food came out in a fair amount of time and the place was crowded no less. Our server was very friendly and did a very nice job with our table of four adults and three kids. There’s not many places to choose from up here, so we’re keeping this on our short list for future trips. Their prices were very fair too. Most entrees are in the $ 18 to $ 22 range.

I have been here a couple times with the folks. They like this place and use it as a go to considering the limited dining options in /​around White Haven.
I consider this place average, probably because the experiences I have had are a mix of good and bad. Let’s start with the good.
Prices, service, portions and desert. The chocolate cake and ice cream is well worth it.
The ribs are great. Slow cooked and tender. The bbq sauce, similar to a smokey sweet KC style, adds a great depth to the meat. The portion is huge and even tastes great the day after. Also great is the beef short rib. This thing looks like a dinosaur bone. Very tender and tasty.
On to the ok. The brisket. On the dry side. The au jus was nothing notable. I think the problem was that the meat was cut too soon after cooking.
The bad. The beer can chicken tasted funky, similar to what chicken tastes like after it has been frozen too long. It was cooked ok and the bbq sauce was decent but it did nothing to help the dish.
Also on the bad list. The dinner rolls. Sides.
No draft beer if that sort of thing matters to you. Remember it is wacky PA where it is easier to get a case of beer than a keg or six pack.

Quaint cozy atmosphere. You get lots of food for the money. Had fantastic waitress named Amanda that had great recommendations. Well worth my time and money!!!

This place is popular with locals and it got a good review on Unilocal,but my family and I were pretty disappointed. The restaurant is rustic and quaint and it was packed when we entered on a Wednesday night so our hopes were high. The service was fine. The food, however, was mediocre. I ordered a platter of barbecued brisket and ribs. Both were tender enough, but not particularly smoky. Had I not asked for barbecue sauce, the ribs would have been pretty tasteless. The cole slaw was okay, but tasted like it might have come from the supermarket. The fries were fresh cut, but undercooked. My daughter ordered a burger, which came cold. One son had a steak and another barbecue and both were underwhelmed. My wife had a salmon dish with pasta that she thought was pretty good. The wine list is very pedestrian and our red wine was about 80 degrees when served. There are no beers on tap, surprising for a barbecue place. And by local standards it is not cheap.

If you want a down home atmosphere and fantastic food at a great price, this is the place. They have a smoker on site that puts Weavers a notch above the 5 or 6 pizza places in Mountain Top. Friendly servers and a good bar staff make this place worth the trip
