Willie Mae's Place

Willie Mae's Place

A restaurant in Gilbert, PA — a small crossroads community in the western Poconos, the kind of place you find because you're already driving through it rather than because it's on a list of destinations. That's part of the appeal. Willie Mae's Place doesn't have a marketing department, but it does have a following. Call ahead or check the restaurant's own listing to confirm the menu, hours and reservations before you go. If you're staying near Gilbert, Kresgeville, or the Route 209 corridor and want somewhere local rather than a chain off the interstate, this is a reasonable bet for a straightforward meal without a reservation strategy or a dress code.

Hours, menus and prices change. Call ahead or check the venue's own site before you go.
