    We enjoyed our dinner beyond all measure. The cheese curds were delicious and I asked for garlic aioli dipping sauce to have with them. It was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had Spanish Chicken & Rice. He loved his dish and I had chicken and waffles with a honey aioli. Both dishes were next level great with the chicken being tender and juicy and flavorful and we followed those amazing meals with a delicious lace de leche bread pudding with vanilla ice cream so great, I ordered one additional to go! Kudos to the chef! We used to visit a lot prior to COVID and this honestly made us so happy to see this establishment survive and not just survive…improve which is hard when they already were top tier! The wait staff was just the right amount of attentive too!

    I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and quality of Sports and Social in Allentown across from the PPL Center. Sports an Social is a sports themed restaurant with two bars and plenty of seating both in tables and booths. The food is a notch or two above the standard fare as the menu selections are more varied and some are unique for a sports bar. Check their online. I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich and opted for a sweet Thai chili sauce rather than the Nashville hot. The sandwich was tasty and moist and the fries were good, not dry nor overly salted. We ordered coffee which was fresh and brought to our table is a carafe. Our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was two-thirds full but yet the noise level not overly loud. You could talk without shouting and hear without lip-reading. Of course, televisions are large and plentiful. We will return.
