The Frog Pond Pub is a no-frills establishment, located on a small side street (a parking lot is readily available on the opposite side of the street) and permeates with a genuine neighborhood atmosphere. The menu is small and consists mainly of bar food -- burgers, pizza, and wings, for example -- but the food is worth the visit.
We arrived around 6:45 and were immediately greeted and seated. I ordered a dozen wings with six lathered on "sweet and sassy" sauce, and the remainder drenched with the "Kickin' Bourbon."
The wings were plump and juicy. The sweet and sassy was tangy with moderate heat, as I expected it to be, but the Kickin' Bourbon was how a bourbon sauce should be. The bourbon flavor wasn't hidden among other spices, but was truly pronounced and amazing.
My girlfriend ordered the chicken tenders which came with a side of fries. Although the fries were a bit overcooked, the tenders were crispy on the outside, while moist and tender on the inside.
The restaurant looks as though it was once a large house, with two dining rooms which are completely separated from the bar area. The service was quick and friendly, adding to the local neighborhood feel. Want to relax while eating a great, simple meal? Hop on over to The Frog Pond Pub.
We headed out to Frog Pond to try their highly rated wings. Tuesday is their wing nite. Each sauce required a minimum of 10 wings at 65 cents a wing. We ordered 10 wings of Bull Frog (butter, garlic parm sauce), Red Garlic (not a strong garlic flavor), Sweet N Sassy (mild stick to your fingers like honey sweet sauce). We ordered the wings extra crispy. The wings were larger than others and they cooked them perfectly extra crispy. The bull frog wings were the best in my opinion. Moving on....I tried their Sicilian pizza which is sold by the cut. I didn't quite understand it but if you order 1 cut...it's divided into 2 cuts. If you ordered 2 cuts then it would be divided into 4 and so on. I asked with onion. The pizza is pretty interesting. It's doughy, cheesy and had a nice flavor that I was trying to figure out. Their pizza is like a person that you aren't so sure about at first and then they actually grow on you.

The Frog Pond offers a variety of menu items such as: award winning wings, appetizers, salads sandwiches, burgers, and much more. There is also a tadpole menu for kids. Cute. The frog pond seats approximately 100 people and through their doors walk in the most important people, their customers! After learning a little bit more about The Frog Pond, Lisa started me off with a red delicious cherry martini rimmed with red sugar . This drink was not only gorgeous it was absolutely delicious. I hopped through the doors hungry needless to say I wasn’t not afraid to eat. I started off with a wedge salad . Literally a huge wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with diced tomatoes crumbled bacon blue cheese crumbles and chunky blue cheese dressing. LOVED IT. Next I was looking for something I’ve never seen before in NEPA, and to my surprise I found Tater Kegs. That’s right - huge housemaid stuffed tater tots. Five to an order, these babies are like crack. Made with cheese bacon, chives and served with ranch or sour cream. I know I will randomly be stopping in here to get my fix.Because The Frog Pond is known not only for the pizza, they are also known for their award winning wings. No I’m not a wing person - I enjoy wing bites, but I had to try them while I was there.Lisa suggested I try their mild AND their bullfrog wings- their most popular kind. Their mild sauce was quite different than most wing sauces I’ve tried over the years. I wasn’t a huge fan, but I’m also not a wing person. Everyone’s taste buds are different. However, I really enjoyed the bullfrog wings made with butter garlic parm they were huge, crispy, and flavorful. I would definitely order these again.After the wings I was FULL- but they was still more to try , like their “unfrogettable” pizza. Most if you know I’ve only lived in Nepa for 10 years. I’m not a fan of red cuts of pizza. I wasn’t raised on it. However, I had to try what they’re most known for and to my surprise not bad. I couldn’t try the red cuts without trying the white so I ordered both. I absolutely love white pizza and there’s is white Sicilian made with cheese, herbs, onions and spices. Delicious.Would I order it again? Yes! Lisa also suggested that I try their cheeseburger pizza one because it was photogenic, two because it’s delicious, and three because it’s one of their most popular pizzas. Their cheeseburger pizza is made with bacon, beef, cheese, and onion and if you want 85 MJ‘s way, you can substitute red sauce for ketchup and mustard and I did exactly that. I only got to eat one slice of this pizza but from what I experienced, amazing. To me it tasted more like a hot dog but who care? It’s great either way. I think next time I’ll add some pickles to really give it that cheeseburger flavor- Even some special people of mine got to taste it later that evening, and they too enjoyed it. Last but not least, I ordered a cheesesteak Lisa said this is one of their most popular items and it’s made with sautéed green peppers onion and sauce. I didn’t get to take in the full experience of this bad boy because I was so full but from what I can remember it was great and next time I go I will probably order one again so I can get a better taste of what it’s about. I really enjoy the food from the frog pond on Cole Street in Wilkes bare. The prices are great the food is great the people are great and it’s a great local Korner establishment to kick back to relax in. So the next time you’re out and about hop on over to The Frog Pond on Coal Street in Wilkesbarre.
Food was delicious! Had the pagach which was amazing! Kevin the bar tender was awesome, pat the owner was very friendly and Jen was super accommodating/friendly/awesome! Will definitely be back. Thank you to the chef who made my food it was great 👍🏻 👌
Tasty pizza and friendly folks! I've already visited the Frog Pond twice in the last couple months, and it's been a consistently good experience. This past time was just a few days ago. My wife and I brought another couple with us, and we split a large pizza with extra cheese, garlic, onions, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. Delicious! Our server was the same friendly server as we had the previous time. She has a good sense of humor and keeps the current lengthy beer list memorized.
Had the Thursday special, wings and pizza. Was not pleased with the honey bbq sauce on the wings. We love the onion rings here.
Great place to grab a couple drinks and something to eat. Highly recommend the French onion soup
Service was on point, it was very slow for a Saturday night. Only one other table was all I saw. Food was good I preferred the red over the white sauce when it came to the pizza. Thought the white sauce was a little bland. Although I myself didn't try them I was told by a dining companion that the traditional wings where on point. Over all we had a good experience.
Great food, great atmosphere, great price!
Listen, I would literally fight someone for these wings. The reviews are not a lie. I travel for work, different state every week. Checked the reviews for this place and they were phenomenal. I had a dozen red garlic wings. They were absolutely perfect, crispy, saucy, and hot. Best wings I've had in a long time. Extremely glad I took a chance on this place.
Not just a little hole in the wall. But a diamond in the rough. Good food and service I was surprised.
Unlike “Princess Peach”, I, like everyone else, LOVES this place! Everything was perfect! The food was delicious!The staff was so sweet & friendly! loved the atmosphere! I’m from out of town, & my family & I plan to go to the Frog Pond, every time we go up!
Oh, and did I say, we were a party of 12+? And we ALL agree, it was amazing!
PS I’m thrilled that “ Princess Preach”, will NOT be returning to the Frog Pond, no one needs her/his NEGATIVE energy!!!
Ba-Bye PP! 💋 🐸

Tasty pizza with sweet sauce. Have to try other products. They have double crust white 🍕 too, which I'll try next time. Parking lot across the street needs to be grated or paved.
Great and friendly owners and staff, very friendly place to go and have a great time if you want somewhere to go out for the night.
Food is awesome there. If you never had it you don't know what you are missing.
More than a 5⭐ restaurant
Good food, decent selection of brews, and all around nice staff. Sorry it took me so long to try this place. Parking on side of building and remember to use side door (front is always locked!).
Great Sicilian pizza and the bull frog wings are fantastic
