We ate inside. I forgot this was a cigar bar but the food made it worth the smell of smoke. Ive eaten here before outside. We got the pound blt... The bacon was crispy, fresh and plentiful. The sweet and sweaty wings were great. Our drinks were good. The service was attentive. I will go back but when the outside seating is available.

Really cozy and charming restaurant built on a defunct train station and rails. Lots of outdoors seating with great scenery. The food’s reasonably priced with massive portions; this sandwich left me still feeling full going into dinnertime. I think the flavor does leave a lot to be desired, though. This was an extremely heavy and greasy hunk of meat and cheese without any “lift”. The bread was far too oily to the point of unappetizing. It needed some more salt and a heavy dose of acid and zing like dijon mustard (the pickles on the side were not enough).
Amazing experience dining at the Wooden Match. I grew up going to the Depot but as a kid and young adult, I did not appreciate the history and splendor of the building. Original stone, brick, and exposed wooden beams from 1873 are among just some of features that would marvel a history buff, but I’m here to talk about the food..let’s go! The bone-in ribeye with chimichurri compound butter is a must, flavored and seared to perfection it literally melted in my mouth. Shaved Brussels with candied bacon was the perfect side. Husband had the cheesesteak and said it was the best he’s had in the Lehigh Valley. Kade was our server and he was absolutely magnificent at his job, his amazing personality added so much to the experience. Don’t sleep on this place!
I've been a patron for years. The food has always been great, even if the wait in outside seating can be dodgy. Today, their Cinco de Mayo block party menu included options named "Border Patrol" and "El Chapo" which are at best quite deaf to current events.
Absolutely love this place. The food has always been fantastic, but they have definitely upgraded if that is even possible.. Love the fact that at the wooden match you can actually smoke cigars inside and outside.. There other place which is across the parking lot. Artisan wine and cheese is non-smoking, which is fantastic same menu. Great people, Great food. Great drinks.l just a wonderful place.
