Dock & Dine • Poconos, PA

By car, by boat, or barefoot — pull up a chair.

A casual, vintage eatery set on the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack. The Boathouse is a true water lover's haven — simple, delicious, time-proven classics and an atmosphere that suits guests in any attire. Plus two sister houses tucked in the hills: Fairview Cafe in Tafton and the historic White Pine Inn in Greeley.

A Poconos family

Three houses. One shoreline spirit.

We're a small family of restaurants scattered across the lakes and back roads of Wayne and Pike counties. Between the three of us you'll find a dockside cookout, a roadside cafe lunch, and a firelit dinner in a historic inn — all run by the same people, all built on the same idea: food worth the drive, hospitality worth staying for.

Since the lake was young

What ties us together

Simple, time-proven classics. Local purveyors when we can get them. Seasons that actually change the menu. And a door that's open to anyone who wanders in — whether you tied up at the dock or just finished a hike.

Come hungry. Stay late.

The Three Houses

Pick your water, your road, or your hearth.

Each spot has its own personality. Same family, same hospitality — but three very different afternoons.

The fare

Simple things, done the long way.

Our menus move with the seasons and the catch. Here's the shape of it — call the house for today's list.

01

Dock-side classics

Fried fish baskets, steamers, burgers off the flat-top, cold beer, summer cocktails. The Boathouse, end of the dock, sun on the water.

02

Cafe comforts

Home-style breakfast and lunch at Fairview — eggs the way you asked, real hash browns, generous plates, and a pot of coffee that keeps coming.

03

Modern American

Dinners at the White Pine Inn — steaks, seafood, pastas, and comfort food cooked with care. The kind of evening that calls for a second glass.

Menus are seasonal. Call ahead, or follow us on Facebook for tonight's specials.

Catering • Weddings • Private events

Lake weddings. Real ones.

Between our three properties we've hosted rehearsal dinners on the dock, tented receptions under the pines, and small elopements by the fireplace at the Inn. Tell us what you're imagining — we'll build the menu around it.

  • On-site receptions  up to full-buyout at the White Pine Inn, with rooms upstairs for the wedding party.
  • Off-site catering  across Lake Wallenpaupack and the greater Poconos — we travel.
  • Rehearsal & welcome dinners  dockside at the Boathouse, casual or plated.
  • Private parties  birthdays, showers, corporate retreats, holiday tables.
