If you're ever driving through the Poconos (which I do at least twice a month) you should check out the Top of the 80s in Hazleton, PA.
Named for the intersection of two highways with the number 8 in them (so clever), this joint is peak Poconos. It's hanging off the side of a mountain, has mostly old people eating, and for some reason they have a lot of seafood on the menu even though they are A) in the mountains, and B) 125 miles from a coast. Whatever.
Fries with a view.
The Grunion wolfed these down as an "appetizer" before destroying a burger or something. Hey that's my Tilt shirt!
I guess they really hit the spot after a long day in the back seat complaining about how long the drive is and asking over and over when we are going to eat again.
I had to snap these pics super fast cause I think the fries only lasted like 3 minutes. He gave them the thumbs up, although when I asked him what they tasted like he just shrugged. Probably didn't have a chance to taste em.
Because I am fancy, I enjoyed the House Made Potato Pancakes served with sour cream and green stuff. They were temperate, yet adequate.
We watched the sunset and wondered what the poor people were doing. DO IT.
