"The Salt and Pepper Pub on North Market Street in Nanticoke is an establishment that serves very good bar food, from sandwiches to burgers to wings...and a lot more. We arrived for our 6:30 p.m. reservation and sat out on the patio. There was only one other table occupied the entire visit. This really wasn't a good idea, however, since the outdoor dining area is next to a busy street, and the sound of the traffic at times drowned out the conversation. We probably could've sat indoors, since the restaurant was practically empty, but the weather was too pleasant to pass up. For an appetizer, I ordered a plate of 5 deep-fried braised beef short rib pierogi's. I would recommend the steamed version, as the dough was very hard. However, that was my mistake, and not the restaurant's. Should I visit again, I'll definitely choose the latter. Nevertheless,the beef was tender and delicious, and completely filled the pierogi. We also ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich, which was extremely tasty. The chicken was tender, the marinara sauce mild, and plenty of cheese with every bite. Along with our sandwiches, we ordered the white cheddar mac and cheese. I recommend eating half of your meal before digging in because the savory cheese sauce needs time to thicken for a more satisfying experience. The elbow macaroni was served al dente adding to an already perfect side. Also ordered were the truffle fries, which was delightful. The fries were crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, and packed a lot of flavor. We had a fudge brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall, the dessert was average but it hit the spot after our entrees. The brownie was served warm, and the slightly melted ice cream added to a refreshing dish. All told, the Salt and Pepper Pub deserves a visit, but I wouldn't travel far to dine there. The food was very enjoyable, and would make an excellent casual night out...if you're in the area."
