Cooper's Seafood House
The inside of the restaurant was like a museum.
Hi Sharon, We're glad you enjoyed our unique decor. We hope you had an enjoyable visit with us
.Thank you for your feedback. Paul Cooper
This place was so much fun took my parents out there for their anniversary. Great seafood, so much to look at on the walls. And the bathroom, and they had a fun gift shop.
Hi Jessica, We're glad you enjoyed the seafood and our unique decor. Happy anniversary to your parents! Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Well, it was Father's Day about 3pm and there was a big event going on at the train museum so the place was packed. My wife gave the hostess her cell phone number for a text/call when our seating was ready. We headed upstairs to the bar, the expected wait was 45 minutes. We were there for a bit and one of the workers said food was available at the bar. The bartender hooked us up, really nice guy. We were going to cancel our seating, but said, let's see how long it takes. Never got a call or text. We left approximately an hour and a half later and went to the hostess desk to inquire why we were never called for our seats. The girl (different girl now) didn't have us anywhere on the list. Wasn't happy about that. The food and service from the bar staff excellent as usual though.
Dear Eugene, We apologize for the oversight with your seating arrangement. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service at the bar. We'll address this issue. Once again I'm so sorry that you were overlooked. Thank you for being a customer of ours. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Food is awesome it's just the prices inbox me on the info. I grew up going to this place always loved it still do! I just didn't drink I purchased it tasted like dishwasher. Great staff.
Dear BreezyBoo, We appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoy our food. We're sorry to hear about your drink. I hope you returned it for something else that you enjoyed. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Mary Catherine was a great server! Personable responsive and professional! Great food and atmosphere! Our hostess was also very nice and accommodating!
Dear Edward, We're glad you enjoyed your experience and our staff's service. Thank you for your kind words! Mary Catherine will be so pleased to hear what you said about her service. Thanks for taking the time to write. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
First time at this restaurant and my server was Mary. After asking for what to get, she informed me of several different options and I landed on the just seafood. The scallops were amazing!!! She even told me that she put extra dressing on the salad for me too. She was very attentive to my needs and very energetic too.
Hello Lee, We're glad you enjoyed the seafood and appreciated Mary's attentive service. Thank you for your positive feedback! Looking forward to serving you well in 2026!! Sincerely, Paul Cooper
First off, there is no explanation for the decor. ... part seafood joint, part museum, and the rest is just cool as hell!! Everything from a toy train running around the ceiling to a 25 foot blue whale, also hanging from the ceiling.... we really enjoyed it But enough about that, you came here to hear about the food..... and there's only one word for that. AMAZING!! And that started while sitting outside, waiting for a table (20 minutes, worth the wait)... Just smelling what was drifting out of the kitchen...... everything was prepared perfectly; and i have been to high end costal seafood joints that weren't half as good.... very generous portions as well..... do not miss this place! One more thing... the service was absolutely top notch..Adrienne, our server, was not only very good, she was friendly and really made the meal more enjoyable! In my opinion, the only bad thing about Coopers is that its 165 miles from home!!
Dear Thomas, Reading your review "Made My Day"!!! We're delighted you enjoyed our unique decor and delicious seafood! It's great to hear Adrienne's service made your meal even more enjoyable. Thank you once again for taking the time to write such a sweet review. Please visit us again whenever you are in the Scranton area. Very kind regards, Paul Cooper and family.
My husband and I were celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary yesterday. We took the Scranton Coal Mine tour which we enjoyed. Then dinner at Coopers Seafood. This was our 3rd visit. Our waitress Mary was very friendly and efficient. Our food was delicious . We love the atmosphere. We took our desserts to go! Next time maybe I can make it up to the lighthouse bar! We highly recommend Coopers Seafood!
Dear Ginny, So glad you enjoyed your anniversary celebration with us! We look forward to welcoming you to the lighthouse bar next time. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
P.S. Mary, your server, absolutely love reading your review!
My husband and I when here twice and the food was delicious! We Both had clams and i had crab legs that was the best I had! The time before we had steak and haddock and pistachio cake ! It was amazing! The atmosphere with all the different things inside and all the photo opportunities is amazing! The themed restrooms were neat! We will be coming back !
Hello Justine, We're delighted you enjoyed our seafood selection and unique atmosphere. We have been in business since 1948 and have accumulated quite a bit of decor over the years. Happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit with us. Thanks for taking the time to write us. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Very interesting restaurant. Would go again
Hello Mason, We appreciate your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the restaurant so interesting and we are looking forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
We always enjoy our visit to Coopers Seafood. There is no other restaurant like it, the food is great and the atmosphere like nothing else.
Hello Diane, We appreciate your kind words! Delighted you enjoy our unique atmosphere and food. Please come and visit us again soon. Thanks again, Paul Cooper
We took a party of 7 people to dinner here the other night, and it was great! The restaurant definitely plays up its connection to "The Office" (for any fans out there), but I'm guessing it had a cool atmosphere even before its Office fame. There were so many different spaces with nostalgic collectibles (Barbies, Ninja Turtles, etc.) and different vibes. Live music upstairs and nice patios outside, as well as the classic seafood restaurant decor where we sat. There was no wait to be seated, and the food service was prompt. Our server, Becky, was so sweet and attentive. We'll definitely be back again, next time we're in the Scranton area.
Dear B. Schroeder, We're glad to hear you enjoyed the unique atmosphere and prompt service during your visit. Becky your server loved your review and asked me to thank you for taking the time to mention her. Looking forward to serving you again when you're in Scranton. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
This was our first time to Cooper's and we loved it! The atmosphere was wonderful & fun. For being a seafood place in Scranton, PA we were wondering how good it could be, but were pleasantly surprised. The steamers were fresh & not a bit of sand was to be found, all we had was seafood & cocktails and it was wonderfully relaxing. Our server was great as was the hostess. Will definitely come back when in the area!
Dear Suzanne, We're delighted you enjoyed your first visit to Cooper's! It's great to hear you appreciated our fresh seafood and friendly service. I sent your review to our clam supplier from Rhode Island and he was so happy to see the "no sand Clam" mentioned. Looking forward to your next visit with us here at Coopers. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
This is the first time we had eaten here. We came from New Jersey to visit Steamtown, and the Big Boy Engine, which was completely amazing. We later stopped for something to eat at Coopers. We were surprised that it was like a time capsule, of everything we grew up with. A very eclectic, and also very history oriented Restaurant. We had a wonderful lunch, and also our server Becky, was very pleasant, and made sure our visit was great. We had the Fish N Chips meal, and also the Broiled Haddock. It was so delicious!!! We enjoyed everything about our visit and will certainly return. Fondly, Marilyn & Ken from New Jersey
Hi Marilyn, We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit to Coopers here in Scranton. It's great to know that our Fish N Chips and Broiled Haddock hit the spot! You made your server Becky's day when I read her your review. She was so pleased to here what you wrote. Thank you so much for your visit and Coopers looks forward to your return. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Came in today and saw Nicole , we have seen her work your events with people out the door. She is a BOSS when it comes to keeping things moving and making people happy. The food is great also!
Hi Diane, We appreciate your recognition of our General Manager Nicole's hard work and your compliments on our food. Thank you for your support and we hope to serve you well in 2026! Sincerely, Paul Cooper
The seafood was great. I had stuffed flounder which was yummy. Two of our party had Louisiana style fish with crawfish and found it properly seasoned foe their taste. Definitely recommend.
Dear Trina, We appreciate your recommendation and are glad you enjoyed our seafood selection, especially the stuffed flounder and Louisiana style Catfish. Very kind regards, Paul Cooper
Always a treat! Fabulous seafood, friendly staff, great surroundings, good value.
Dear Stephen, So glad you enjoyed your seafood feast! Did you return the next day? Thanks for the 5 star review. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Restaurant that’s open for lunch… and a n a Monday! Was a great find. The drinks were fun and the food cooked perfectly! Too many restaurants overcook their seafood, calamari, shrimp and lobster tail were outstanding. This place is going on our list to return the next time we are in Scranton.
Dear David, Loved reading your review and my brothers and I are so happy that you enjoyed your visit with us!! We look forward to serving such a wonderful customer as you in the future whenever you are passing through Scranton. Very kind regards, Paul Cooper
It was great. Been there a few times. Always a great time.
Hi Stephen, We appreciate your loyalty and positive feedback. Thank you for being a good customer of Cooper's Seafood. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
We were absolutely blown away and thrilled to find your restaurant. Came in from Cleveland, Ohio and our visit to Cooper’s was a highlight of our trip. Our server, Kristall, was the best, a big smile, super nice and cool. The decor knocked us out, you could visit for years and never see it all. We will return and tell friends. 👍🏽👍🏽
Dear Celeste, So glad you enjoyed your visit and our decor! My father and his brothers started Coopers in 1948 and we've been collecting decor ever since , so glad you enjoyed it. We'll pass your compliments to Kristall your server she will be elated to read what you've written. Looking forward to your return! Safe travels, Paul Cooper and family
Awesome decor worth a trip.
Hi Gregory, We're glad you enjoyed our decor! Hope to see you again soon whenever you are in Scranton. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Great place to eat,but all the workers seemed tired and unhappy. Maybe because it was Sunday night, but really cool place.
Hi Ed, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the ambiance. I'm sorry that the staff seemed tired out but I hope they served you well regardless. Respectfully, Paul Cooper
Service was great. Food mediocre if that. More cheese than crab in the stuffed mushrooms. Seafood Crepe were lousy. To much filler than seafood. Sauce to much salt, to much lobster base. Very disappointing. My wife's pasta, vodka sauce was not good either. Sauce broken, chicken over cooked. To much sauce. Water in the salad will not go there again. Very expensive and 3% charge on card not worth the price or the time.
Dear Thomas, I am so sorry that you were not satisfied with your meals when you visited. I wish you would have spoken up and told your server and we could have made it right. Respectfully, Paul Cooper
My only complaint is that there isn't a clear plan for people with disabilities. The only entrance is on the side and it took some convincing to get someone to go around to the front for us to put us on the wait list. After waiting almost an hour, they sat us in a room that was completely empty. Why even have a wait list if you have empty tables? It makes no sense.
Dear Sal, We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We're are the process of redoing the handicapped entrance to make it more accessible. I'm truly sorry that you did not have a better experience when you visited. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Just brought my teen Girl Scout Troop to Coopers and they had a blast! Crab pretzel was a standout. The atmosphere can’t be missed it’s so much fun! Every nook and cranny is creative and fun! The best part of the evening was our server, Becky, who took the initiative to get to know our troop. Her personality was magnetic and she gave us great tips for our Jim Thorpe visit tomorrow. Last, the bill was exceptionally reasonable.
Dear Lori, We're delighted your Girl Scout Troop enjoyed their visit and the crab pretzel! It's great to hear that your server Becky made your experience even better. I can't wait to show her your review. Thank you so much for writing and hope to serve you again in the future. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Cooper's has the best seafood in the Scranton area. Service was great and the food is delicious.
Dear Kathy, My brothers and I appreciate your kind words about our seafood and service. Thank you for dining with us and thank you for being our customer! Sincerely, Paul Cooper
New Orleans catfish is delicious, had it in N. O. and it tasted the same!
Hi Jim, So glad you enjoyed our New Orleans catfish. Hope you got to visit the WW2 museum, I hear that it is fantastic. Thanks for writing. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
Food is always delicious and the place is always so much fun.
Hello Michelle, We're glad you enjoy our food and fun atmosphere. Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for being a loyal customer. Sincerely, Paul Cooper
We had an excellent meal today. Food was amazing and our server, Kristall, was exceptional. We had to go to Scranton today for a doctor appointment which gave us the opportunity to have a meal at Coopers. We do not usually drive to Scranton by ourself so this was a treat for us that we could not pass up. And it was well worth it. Thank you for the excellent food and the outstanding service.
Dear Jean, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us about your visit here at Coopers. Kristall was so pleased to read what you wrote.. Many customers visit Coopers, and my brothers and I always appreciate those take the time to write such wonderful reviews. Thanks for being our customer and we look forward to serving you whenever you make the drive into Scranton. Sincerely, Paulk Cooper
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Went to Cooper’s yesterday and tried the New Orleans style catfish, and wow.. it was absolutely delicious. I love spicy food, and the flavor was spot on! The catfish was seasoned perfectly and was one of those meals that has you thinking about it long after you’re done eating The salad was fresh, the broccoli was cooked just right (nice and tender, not hard like you sometimes get at some places), and everything on the plate was enjoyable! Our waitress was also wonderful, friendly and attentive. Overall, a great meal and a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to order that catfish again! Please do not remove this from the menu lol
Dear Kimberly, Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our New Orleans style catfish and appreciated our attentive service. We look forward to serving you again soon! Sincerely, Paul Cooper
From our family to yours we thank you!
