I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and quality of Sports and Social in Allentown across from the PPL Center. Sports an Social is a sports themed restaurant with two bars and plenty of seating both in tables and booths. The food is a notch or two above the standard fare as the menu selections are more varied and some are unique for a sports bar. Check their online. I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich and opted for a sweet Thai chili sauce rather than the Nashville hot. The sandwich was tasty and moist and the fries were good, not dry nor overly salted. We ordered coffee which was fresh and brought to our table is a carafe. Our server was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was two-thirds full but yet the noise level not overly loud. You could talk without shouting and hear without lip-reading. Of course, televisions are large and plentiful. We will return.

Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

Boyfriend and I got the lamb brisket as a starter, and then the salmon for main course and Thai cucumber salad as a side. We split them all. I would probably not order the lamb again, but everything else was fantastic. Our server Francis was super kind. Great dinner and highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time with my daughter and granddaughters celebrating our annual Christmas dinner. Would definitely go there again for any special occasion. Our server, Emily, was pleasant and with a great sense of humor. That's important to us as we like to have fun. The dessert was excellent.
