Top of the 80's

Top of the 80’s is a celebrated fine‑dining landmark perched on the ridge of the Conyngham Valley in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Since 1976, owner‑chef Marion Pollock has guided the restaurant through three generations, preserving the historic clubhouse that once served the Hazleton Country Club. Diners enjoy panoramic vistas of the Valley Country Club greens, rolling hills and the distant Sugarloaf Peak while savoring a seasonal, farm‑to‑table menu built on ingredients sourced from the Conyngham Valley and broader Northeastern Pennsylvania. Signature dishes include the Herb‑Crusted Pork, Flounder Florentine, and the classic Roast Sirloin of Beef, each plated with locally grown vegetables such as Green Bean Almondine or Honey‑Glazed Carrots. The dessert program highlights homemade Apple Cobbler à la Mode and a silky Chocolate Mousse, perfect for ending a night out. The interior blends rustic wood beams with modern lighting, creating an intimate yet airy atmosphere that feels both historic and contemporary. Open Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 8:30 p.m., the restaurant offers a moderate‑to‑high price range, making it ideal for anniversary celebrations, business dinners, or a relaxed weekend treat. In addition to the à‑la‑carte menu, Top of the 80’s provides catering for large gatherings and private party packages featuring family‑style or buffet options, complete with choices like Baked Ham with Pineapple Sauce and Garden Salad. Whether you arrive after a scenic drive along I‑80/I‑81 or walk from the nearby golf course, the view alone feels like a feast, and the attentive staff ensures every visit is memorable.
