Shanty On 19th: A New American Culinary Delight in Allentown

Didn’t expect such a great experience from the outside. No negatives about the outside, it just looked like an average restaurant. Never been here before. Took a chance and WOW !!!!!!! Really good drinks. Excellent, friendly service. But the food was stellar ! Salmon caprese w/risotto and fish and chips.

Amazing restaurant. I've wanted to go here for years and something always kept coming up. Thankfully today was my wifes birthday and we wanted to try something new. First let's start off with the parking. Hug parking lot. Then when you enter the restaurant it reminds you of a log cabin. With a hint of charm. We sat down and were greeted by Ronnie. Our waiter. He was friendly and always smiling. We ordered our food which came out super quick. And was well cooked. I highly recommend this place for any occasion . See pictures.

Our bartenderJens was amazing. We had a great time with him. We had patty melt, burgers and pastrami sandwich. All delicious. Will go again very soon.

This place was awesome! The atmosphere and look of the restaurant is very very nice! I went to try out their AYCE Spaghetti and Meatballs night on Wednesdays. It's only $7.95 and they are quick to bring refills. The food is amazing, and their service is friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Maybe the best happy hour in Allentown. Stopped by on a Friday with my family and got a ton of appetizers and drinks all for 50% off. The wings were a highlight. Coconut shrimp was good. French onion pierogis sounded better than they tasted. The fish and chips was tasty and unique in that it was served as the whole fish. It was also breaded lighter than most, which I preferred.

Nice spot for drinks and wings. We stopped in around 2pm for a Maui Mule and wings. Service was very good and the wings were pretty good with some nice flavors. I understand it gets pretty noisy in the evening with live music and karaoke. We just missed the bloody merry bar but I would return to try it out.

This was our second time back. Our first time was for Thanksgiving 2 yrs ago and it was not a good experience but to be fair I wanted to try it on a normal day. We ordered sweet Thai chili wings, which were very good. They were crispy and saucy. We also got the French onion pierogis, which were very good. My husband got a cheese steak that he liked but the roll got soggy too quickly.. I ordered the rodeo burger, which was a special from the week prior but they made it for me Anyway...it was very good. Our server, David was fantastic. The proce was fair! There was other stuff on the menu that I want to try and will definitely go back. Glad I gave it another try!!!!

I was looking for a quick bite to eat and googled food near me. This stood out because of pictures I saw of a band playing there. There is only street parking but it’s fairly easy to find in the middle of the day. When I entered, no one greeted me at first. I saw one bartender and one waitress who was tending to a large party. I only waited about a couple minutes but it felt like forever. The bartender finally welcomed me after the waitress passed right by me without saying a word (I was standing by the door so I obviously was waiting to be served). However, the bartender was polite and friendly and apologized for the wait. I loved their appetizers they are somewhat eccentric and their drink menu has fun names and combinations. I ordered their 19th on Mule it came with pear vodka, ginger beer, mint and elderflower liqueur. It was a sweet drink but I didn’t taste the individual flavors like I hoped to. For lunch I ordered an appetizer called Boom Boom Chicken Mac and Cheese. It was so good. Their cheese sauce was flavorful but not spicy, it came mixed with sirarcha sauce but I didn’t taste the siracha. I tasted a hint of garlic and green onions. I loved it. Worth every bite.
