Whether you’re balling on a budget or wanting more bang for your buck, we’ve got some suggestions for you to eat more and spend less in the Poconos!
Playing in the Poconos can sure work up on appetite, so we’ve served up an assortment of places to eat for no more than $45 a day. Here are daily menu suggestions broken down throughout the region. Mangia!
Jim Thorpe
$7 -- Start your day off with a hearty breakfast at the Broadway Grille. Open at 7 a.m., try their maple vanilla French toast. Thick, Texas toast is dipped in maple and vanilla butter, grilled to a golden perfection and served with butter and maple syrup. Add coffee for $2.50 or ham, bacon, sausage or scrapple for an extra $3.
In a hurry? Grab a bagel or muffin for just $4. Pick from a variety of favorites to eat on the go in-route to your Poconos adventure.
$9.95 -- At lunchtime, stop by Molly Maguires Pub & Steakhouse. Choose between the chicken parmesan flatbread, veggie wrap, teriyaki wings (chef’s choice) and murphy’s burger all for the same price. Who doesn’t love a good deal and great food? A beer will push your budget over the top, though.
$22 -- Enjoy dinner with a view! Overlooking the Appalachian Mountains, Roadies Restaurant and Bar provides not only beautiful scenery, but appetizing food. Get the flat iron steak with two sides, your choice of soup or salad and a dinner roll. As the most expensive item on the menu, all other dishes are fair game.
TOTAL: $35.95 – $44.95

Indulge in a half rack of baby back ribs, pulled pork and thinly slicked BBQ beef brisket. If that's not enough, steak fries, a dinner salad and coleslaw round out this plate. Being one of the more expensive meals on the menu, you can opt for practically anything else.

And while you’re at a coffeehouse, why not have a midday java? The coffee is locally-sourced, too! A small hot or custom coffee will run you about $2-4.
$22.50 -- Since you did so well for breakfast and lunch, you can splurge at Glass – Wine.Bar.Kitchen!
