Cooper's Seafood House INC

11/05/2008 Posted by Dakotapoop

I recently visited Coopers Seafood House in Scranton. After a long wait on a Wednesday night, I finally got a table in the corner of the old room, which smelled like urine and was extremely warm. After 25 minutes and several servers passing our table, we finally called someone over to get our drink order. My husband ordered surf and turf rare and it came out welldone and the lobster was very salty. My chicken scampi was ok but it came over rice when I asked for pasta. Instead of waiting I ate most of the dish until I cut into the last piece which was raw in the middle!!!! Very dissapointing experience and will never go back. When the manager came to the table we were apologized to but nothing else was offered.

I have to get my Coopers "fix" once a month! Coopers has by far the best seafood in town! I don't even like oysters but I gladly eat them here. The food is always cooked to perfection. They are so consistent . The appetizers are so varied and all so good that it is very difficult to decide, but try them all you won't be dissappointed. Everything on the menu is worth trying for that matter but my favorite is the crab bisque! The quality and taste are simply unsurpassed. The restaurant in Scranton has the most ambiance but I visit both of them all simply for the great food. If you like seafood this place will quickly become you favorite restaurant. I have a girlfriend that surprised her husband for his birthday by driving him to Scranton from Philly just so they could go to Cooper's for his bday dinner! That's how good this place is!

Pros: Great seafood

A good place for lunch or dinner. We were visiting relatives in Old Forge for the 4th and decided to go to Coopers for something more than pizza. ( We ate a lot of pizza in Old Forge since it is the pizza capital of the world) The food was very good. I had a steak that was done perfectly and my husband had the "Fishermans Platter" that he liked as well. We were so happy about our experience that we returned several days later. My husband had the coconut shrimp and I had the Potroast. Again, we were both pleased with our selections. The service was good and the place was clean.

Pros: Food

Cons: None I can think of at this time.

My wife and I travel from Canada to Florida each year and Cooper's is our favorite stop. The crab bisque, and coconut shrimp are our favorite appetizers and for a entree we always try something new. We have never been disappointed. The atmosphere and staff are top notch! 5 stars. Can't wait to go back. W&B

Pros: Lots of parking, amazing food, good beer menu, clean

Cons: sometimes there is a wait

people like you are always trying to get something for free. jeez..why cant you just cook for your self then. How can you say coopers here coopers there is bad...whats the difference. And HOW in the world could you tell someone "I cant eat this food"...you know just appreciate what you get and be happy!!...there are some who cant have even half of what you have at coopers...so just chill out and if you dont like the food, then cook something yourselfn if you know so much about good food!!!

I went to the plains, Coopers and the food was not appealing at all; from one look I told the waitress that we would not be eating there. I don't know what I was expecting. All that I do know is that I was looking forward to the meal there because I had previosly been to the one in Scranton and the food was GREAT. I was very disappointed because I had taken a friend and I had been bragging all day about how good the food would be and low and behold because of time restraint we were never able to make it out to the one in Scranton. I will never go back to the Plains, Coopers ever agin.

Pros: none, thumbs way down

Cons: none, thumbs down

I have been going here for over a decade and still like this place. I use to love it but I think they are starting to get too big for their own good. The quality of the food while still good isn’t near what it used to be. The service fluctuates between outstanding and bad. If you have a complaint about your food expect nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders and maybe a “sorry”. That was all I got when I complained about my lobster that I needed a knife to cut it was so over cooked. Its saving grace is the ship’s pub, crab shack bar and the lighthouse bar. This place has four separate bars with the ship’s pub and the grill room (the original bar) being the best. This place takes tacky to the next level but in a good way. I now mainly go there for a few drinks and eat elsewhere.

Pros: cool place to walk around in, great beer selection

Cons: bad service and indifference

Went to Coopers for the first time last friday night. We were a party of 10 and started our night out at the ships bar. The beer list is out of this world and the bartender was so well versed on the beers, he suggessted and let us sample a few of the drafts before we decided what to have.....Then we went back to the room with a huge replica of a blue whale hanging from the celing.......The server was so attentive, and the food was really good. Before we left we went up to see the new lighthouse bar. What a view and again good service......We will be back, and highly reccomend this restaurant to all our friends........We did have a short wait for dinner, but the time at the bar passed so quickly that we wish we could have stayed longer there!

Pros: They even have a bathroom with Beatles pictures and music....cool

Cons: can't think of one

This place really was as great as everyone says. Recently, however, patrons are lucky if they get a lukewarm meal and an irritated server. The last time I was there, I was treated so horribly that I vowed to never go again. The same has happened to a handful of people I know. A damn shame.

on average, good experiences. Cool atmosphere, great bar and selection but if you repeat you will soon lose the wow factor. 2nd and 3rd time will prove one degree deteriorating satisfaction etc, etc. Good times and fun with friends but not amazing.

Pros: good for gatherings, good for kids, good bar
