The charm of Upper Bucks County is embodied in this historic destination, where exceptional meals nourish the body and soothe the soul. An all-day lunch and dinner menu allows guests to give in to cravings: Appetites begging for a New York Strip Steak with caramel shiitake brandy cream sauce at noon can be rewarded – and it’s not all that unusual a request. Additionally, the relaxed country atmosphere enables guests to feel comfortable whether wearing a business suit or blue jeans.
General Manager/Executive Chef Kenneth Hicklin and Chef Jeffrey Wagaman collaborate easily on creating new features – working together previously at different restaurants – and the process of “bouncing ideas” between them results in the likes of a comfort-driven entrée of pork flat-iron steak partnered with fresh-made applesauce and a wedge of braised cabbage. A visually stunning vegetarian dish stars Butternut Squash Ravioli dressed in a butternut Alfredo sauce sprinkled with walnuts, then crowned by golden fried breaded goat cheese and a drizzle of basil oil.
Of course, such staples as renowned crab cakes and smoked brisket, turkey breast, and wings remain on the core New American menu, along with ample sandwiches, salads, and diverse starters. Sourcing meats, seafood, and produce from local purveyors maintains the consistency patrons expect. And all dishes are available for take-out during normal business hours, plus several signature specialties, including quarts of Brick Tavern Inn Mushroom Bisque, are always available to-go.
A warm and friendly bar, suitable for drinking or dining, offers a well-curated wine list, accessible beer selection, and spot-on seasonal cocktails. Multiple dining rooms with distinctive vibes are amenable to hosting private functions of varying sizes.
A spacious covered patio in an idyllic pastoral setting draws guests outside in accommodating weather. And it opens earlier than many outdoor venues thanks to a recently installed system that circulates gently warmed air – inviting guests to linger and take in a side dish of tranquility.
