The Chophouse at Woodfield Manor was once again identified as an award winning restaurant during Pocono Restaurant Week 2011. Votes were collected earlier in May. The Chophouse at Woodfield Manor won in two catagories including: Best Atmosphere and Best Steak in the Poconos.
The restaurant is a repeat winner and has won high praise and acclaim among food connoisseurs since it’s opening in 2008. In the first year of operation, the Chophouse won for Best Chop and Best Server. The top honors for Best Prime Rib and Best Steak went to the Chophouse in 2009. The gorgeous and classic interior is unbeatable for the Best Atmosphere catagory for three years running and their flavorful steak is a two time winner. “Customer reaction to the restaurant has been overwhelming,” said Restaurateur Tina Dowd. “Everyone raves about the unique menu, friendly service and beautiful setting. I’m proud of the Chophouse staff who successfully implement on the plan to be the best dining experience in the Poconos.” In addition to their award winning steak, the distinct menu at the Chophouse also offers unique choices including wild boar, elk, and ostrich. Impeccable service, and a cozy atmosphere make the Chophouse a perfect choice for dinner, small business meetings, or a sure fire way to impress a first date.
“I understand that people LOVE steak and we’re very happy to comply and give them a mouth watering flavorful choice but our Chef, Bradley Kreider, showcases his talents on many of the other dishes. My personal favorite is the Ostrich Boursin. Chef Kreider’s sweet potato gnocchi is my kid’s most requested dish.” The Chophouse at Woodfield Manor hours of operation are as follows: Monday-Saturday from 4pm-10pm and on Sunday from 4pm-8pm.

By April and May Keith and I are well into preparing for the summer season. Cleaning the grounds of winter debris, mulching the beds, opening the pool and spring cleaning the hotel fills the weeks leading to Memorial Day, the official start of summer. We were almost there, then Mother Nature changed our plans.
On Thursday evening, May 26th, severe thunderstorms moved through the Poconos and left a large area of destruction. Winds in excess of 60 miles/hour swept over the grounds of Woodfield Manor and in a matter of minutes 7 trees were down due to the storm. Four 70-100 ft. pine trees were snapped in half and three large deciduous trees were uprooted. Branches and leaves littered the roads leading to the cottages.In a cul-de-sac area near cottages 17-20, 40 feet of a pine tree came to land on the road shared by these cottages. Very close! Within the hour we lost electricity.There was nothing to do but wait. Fourteen hours later, a little past noon on Friday, our service was restored. Thank you PP&L. We’d also like to give a nod to our guests who were very patient with a situation out of our hands. But I also want to send a BIG Thank You to George for coming to our rescue with two strong arms and his chain saw. We couldn’t have done it without you. All in all it turned out ot be a great Memorial Day weekend!
