Overview
Warung Veck And Jack brings a refreshing taste of Indonesian cuisine to 300 Lackawanna Ave in Scranton, PA, offering something flavorful and distinctive inside the food court setting. This spot stands out for diners who want more than the usual lunch options, especially with dishes that highlight warm spices, comforting rice plates, and bold sauces.

Located in the back of the food court area is the only Indonesian Restaurant I know of in the area. I was immediately intrigued! I stopped there for lunch the other day and tried the Nasi Rendang (a slow-cooked beef dish with rice). I have never had Nasi Rendang before, but I thought it was very good. I particularly liked the spicy sauce that came with it, because it really brightens the dish. The gentleman there was extremely nice and the service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend checking it out! We definitely need more restaurants featuring cuisines from other parts of the world in our area.

It's so difficult to find good Indonesian food anywhere near us here in Scranton PA. So happy to have Veck and Jack's close by! The location has got great ambience, The food is always great, and the owners friendly. I'd recommend all of the food, but if you havent tried it yet, taste the fish and sambal (chilli); it's not too spicy and delicious. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

This place is a hidden gem! They are only open on Saturday 11AM-2PM. The prices are reasonable, $10 all you can eat! The couple that owns it are complete sweethearts. My personal favorites are the chicken with collard greens and fried noodles.You will not be disappointed if you give them a try!

You always find a gem when you are not looking. This very nice gentleman gestured to show my companion and I the offered special and we are so glad that we did try it. Each food was freshly made and hot. The chicken was absolutely fantastic. The beef was very good and the fish was delicious. Kale dish was delicious as well. The noodle chicken dish was awesome. I would definitely recommend trying this place. The price and product was more than worth it.
