This is the restaurant list our hosts hand to guests. Most of these places sit along the Route 611 and Route 940 corridors around Mount Pocono, with more in Tannersville and Bartonsville near Camelback, in downtown Stroudsburg, and around Cresco and Mountainhome.
Hours change often in the Poconos, especially in the off-season, and some spots are cash only or close one or two days a week. Call ahead before you head out, and ask your host which places they like best near the home.
