Griff's Ale Haus & Grille
About This Spot
Stepping into Griff's Ale Haus & Grille feels like coming home to a warmly lit neighborhood gathering spot where the pace slows just enough to savor both food and company. Nestled in the heart of Lehighton, this bar & grill offers a comfortable blend of relaxed chatter and quiet corners, a place where familiar faces mix with curious newcomers and the hum of friendly conversations fills the air.
The atmosphere strikes a balance between lively and laid-back, inviting you to settle in with an ice-cold Yuengling Lager or a crisp Miller Lite while the sound of casual laughter ripples around a game of pool. It's the kind of place where the staff knows your name or quickly remembers it, sharing genuine recommendations like the perfect wings that carry a satisfying crunch or a burger layered with just the right melt of cheese and smoky bacon.
By focusing on honest, well-crafted comfort food, Griff’s feels like an extension of the community—a local hub where evenings stretch out over plates of cheesy fried pickles or hearty cheesesteaks, paired naturally with generous fries or a Hausmade dipping sauce that you find yourself craving long after the meal ends. Whether you're unwinding after work or finding a no-fuss spot to catch up with friends, the vibe here is welcoming without being overbearing, lively without losing an intimate edge.
This is a place where the joy of sharing a good meal and a cold drink blends seamlessly with the enjoyment of simple pleasures — good company, familiar flavors, and a genuine, unpretentious spirit. Griff’s isn’t just a stop on your night out; it’s the kind of place you find yourself returning to, drawn by the quiet assurance of a meal well made and a moment well spent.

We had Ben as our sever/bartender and he gave really good recommendations on food and was very attentive. We had the cheesy fried pickles, Havarti Burger, and steakHaus cheesesteak. Food was very filling and tasted delicious! Definitely stop here if you like the little home town bar feel that is not far from Jim Thorpe.

Jim Thorpe was too crowded, so we decided to drive a bit further to get something to eat. Chose this place based on some of the reviews, and WOW what a find. They had amazing special sauce mozzarella sticks for $5, really good tacos for $1.50 each (Sunday special maybe?), and a southern cheese steak with steak fries that was very good as well. Between my wife and I we split it all and we're pleasantly full, and the total bill was only $20! The bartender and server, Ben, was awesome as well! All in all, we would absolutely come back next time we are in the area.

Honestly impressed. The food and the vibe here are top-tier. The wings were crispy and packed with flavor, and the burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, the kind of place you actually want to hang out in. Bold take, but this spot easily competes with NYC when it comes to wings and burgers. You won’t be disappointed if you come here as a tourist.

First time visit and was impressed! Food quality was excellent. The Havarti burger was the Best burger I have had in a very long time! Fries were hot and fresh. I'm not a French fry person, but the bacon cheddar fries were excellent. Service was professional and very friendly. Definitely will make this a regular stop after work.

Food here is great, 5 out of 5 on the fried chicken wings with sweet Thai chili. Service is good but when we were there, they were under staff. Plenty of outdoor seatings, but people smoke there. If you were to sit outside with your kids, beware of the smoke and swearing.

We happened to find this place online, and I'm so glad we did. We were on our way back home to Michigan. Our bartender/server, Tara was awesome, super friendly, she treated us like she had always known us. Our food was delicious! We talked to the cook, and I apologize for not getting her name. We highly recommend this place! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely make this a must stop! Dave & Teri from Michigan
