Red Castle Brewery - Lehighton

This place had great food. The atmosphere was good. Some places that have bars are a little rough, but this place was jovial and kid friendly. The prices were very reasonable. We had the Polish platter which had cabbage rolls, noodles, and kielbasa. I loved the kielbasa and the noodles. I think if I were used to polish fare I would have loved the cabbage role. I did like it. We had potato and cheese pierogis. They were phenomenal. Our server, Ashley, was wonderful and is great at advising you on popular choices if you aren't sure. If you are looking for home polish cooking, you have found an amazing nook. I'll becoming back!

Overall this place is a solid 3 stars, and I'll break it down for ya. $3.99 potato pancakes: for authenticity this is a 1 star. They didn't taste BAD, perse. But they were NOT potato pancakes. Sorry but my boyfriend is Ukrainian, and we've traveled to Eastern Europe. Not potato pancakes. They were.. hash browns. $2.00 stuffed cabbage: 3 stars. Filling was good, the cabbage was steamed well .. but the sauce was again, Americanized and not authentic. Too much tomato flavor to be truly Polish.. $3.99 3 pieces of pierogies. Standard. Nothing special $7.99 Castle Melt Burger 3.5 stars. It was cooked well, juicy, and covered in onions, mushrooms, cheese, bacon and all the good stuff but just on the side of pricey for what it was. 5 STAR beers though! I got the American Pale ale, and my bf got the IPA. Both great, and for $4.50 totally worth it. best part of our visit!! This place is great for cheap eats, the food is good and will fill you. But don't come if you want actual Plish food :p

Oh. My. God. This place has awesome food and good beer. And it's all ridiculously cheap. What more can a beer-guzzling, gullet-stuffing hedonist like myself ask for? To start, the building is quaint and has a nice little deck on the side to enjoy the weather. It is a brewery but the atmosphere is pretty jovial; kids wouldn't be a problem. The beer is pretty good; when we were there they were flushing the tap lines and only had three beers on tap; of them, I tried the pilsner and a blueberry shandy; the pilsner was pleasant and easy to drink, smooth and very mildly hoppy, while the shandy was surprisingly good, tart and with a strong blueberry scent to it. The latter would make a good summer beer. As for the food... (drools). Excellent Polish classics (at least judging by my encounters with Polish food during my travels in Russia), with the noodles being especially addictive. The castle burger, meanwhile, was an interesting twist on a normal burger, with mustard and raw onion on the bottom of the patty and cheese and homemade chili sauce on the top. It was excellent. A bit tangy, salty, and with some crunch courtesy of the onion. All in all, a five star meal.

Excellent cheese steak from the special menu. Large, juicy, cheesy, well seasoned, and... salty(a bit too salty). Fries are freshly out of the fryer, and well seasoned and again too much salt. Beer unfortunately wasn't as great as I hoped. Tasted a bit too watered down with what tastes like seltzer. Service is excellent. Overall had a great time here enjoying great food.

Best pierogies ever. After I spotted the Polish flag inside, I knew I was going to have a great meal with my little family. Ashley, our server, was all smiles in a bar maid outfiit. She immediately seated us and told us about the beer situation and accommodated my young kids with natural flair. Their menu 's pretty clear and simple, but I suggest ignoring most of it and focusing on the From the Homeland and Pierogies sections. From there, I ordered the Polish Platter, a true trifecta of tasty Kielbasa with the perfect snap when bitten, Haluski comforting, buttery, flat noodles, and Halupki a homey tasting stuffed cabbage filled with beef, pork, rice, and spices in a light, creamy tomato sauce. Then the Pierogies so effing good! We ordered 2 types which came topped with crumbled bacon and onions wow! The combination of Potato and Cheddar 's a classic for good reason then the savory Mushroom and Kraut was soooo good (Get this, especially with a side of sour cream)!!! Their American offerings are pretty good, but their Polish dishes are like home cooking of the best kind.
