3. Hawley

The third town on our list might not spring immediately to mind, because Hawley is a tiny town; yet, for its small size, it has a ton of great restaurants. Nestled away in the Pocono Mountains, Hawley offers a wide variety of different types of eateries for visitors and residents alike to enjoy, including

Silver Birches (pictured), The Boat House Restaurant, and Ledges Hotel.

8. Main Line Area

Talula's Table, pictured here, is one of the swankiest restaurants in the entire county; it requires you to book your reservation about a year in advance.
