A Culinary and Historical Delight at Pineville Tavern Our recent visit to Pineville Tavern was nothing short of a gastronomic and historical journey, making it the perfect finale to a delightful evening spent at the Doylestown County Theatre. Having lived in Doylestown for six years, it was my first time experiencing the charm of Pineville, and what a fantastic discovery it turned out to be! As we stepped into Pineville Tavern, the rich tapestry of history woven into its walls immediately caught my attention. The ambiance exuded a timeless charm, with every corner seemingly whispering stories from eras long past. It's a place where the past and present coexist seamlessly, creating an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and steeped in tradition. Our experience was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Steve R, a true gem among servers. His warmth, genuine personality, and attention to detail added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Steve's recommendations were spot-on, reflecting his deep understanding of the menu and a passion for ensuring guests have a memorable time. For starters, the Snapper soup was a revelation to the taste buds. Its rich, savory flavor left an indelible mark, making it a dish I am sure to order whenever I see it on a menu. The crab cakes that followed were nothing short of perfection – a delightful blend of succulent crab meat and impeccable seasoning that set a new standard for this classic dish. The culinary journey reached its crescendo with a heavenly Tiramisu for dessert, perfectly complemented by a Moscow Mule with a peppermint stick. The attention to detail in every dish and drink was commendable, showcasing Pineville Tavern's commitment to culinary excellence. I was pleased to hear about the recent addition that allows patrons to enjoy their meals outdoors, complete with heaters for comfort. This thoughtful touch ensures that the Pineville experience can be savored in every season, and I am eagerly anticipating a return visit in the spring to bask in the charm of outdoor dining. In conclusion, Pineville Tavern is a must-visit for anyone seeking a blend of culinary excellence and historical immersion. The combination of a charming atmosphere, delectable dishes, and the outstanding service provided by Steve R make it a standout destination in Doylestown. Whether you're a longtime resident or a newcomer like myself, Pineville Tavern is sure to leave a lasting impression on your taste buds and your heart.

best prime rib and French onion soup. WE love it here. we have never has bad experience here. love the atmosphere here. service is awsome. Update: we went looking forward to prime rib and they don't have it anymore. Was pretty bummed it was the best thing on menu the reason we came.

Amazing atmosphere, music and food! The Bacon Blue burger had the best blue cheese! Definitely recommend. Loved the $5 & $6 beer selection.

We had practice round after party in Pineville Tavern. Everything was awesome, with good service, delicious food and great atmosphere. Loved this place ❤️

Wow what a great place. Excellent food fantastic service we sat in the greenhouse never been in a restaurant that had plants everywhere. You can breathe the oxygen level is fantastic. We love the food and we certainly will be back.

This place is amazing. I came because I was told that the tavern was helping people affected by the government shutdown and I was glad I did. The staff is super courteous and very attentive to your needs. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is great. I feel like I'm eating at my Granny's house or something. The whole family had fried chicken and I can honestly say it's the best chicken that I have had locally. The sides were amazing we had the broccoli with shallots had mashed potatoes which were delicious. Im very grateful for the owners of this establishment and for them going above and beyond to help the affected employees. If you read this review and find it helpful can you please give it a thumbs up so I can continue to leave awesome reviews #localspot #romantic

This place was so pretty. It was so gorgeous inside especially if you love trees and plants. It's plant friendly inside and pretty. Update 31 March 25 We stayed inside the back. It was so pretty.

Food was mouth wateringly good. My BF and I each got the Delmonico, and it was fabulous. The historic charm of the building made for some great ambiance. The staff was friendly and extremely professional. I would highly reccomend this place for a sumptuous and even romantic meal.

The Pineville Tavern is in an historic building with a number of small, cozy rooms. The bar is small but quaint. Our group of four arrived for lunch and we were immediately seated. Plenty of selections on their beer list (both bottled and draft). The wings were very good, and the burgers were very good as well. Staff are all very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

It is really good 😊. Our server Steven was super friendly, he gave us great suggestions and the food was amazing. Try the snapper soup. It will be surprisingly good. 👍

A Bucks County favorite restaurant, with their signature turtle soup, this place is a go to! Food is always made fresh and a great quality. I’ve been coming here for years and will continue to return. The outdoor seating was just redone and expanded – and though it’s hard to get a seat out there the space is wonderful. Indoor seating remains an excellent choice. Also includes free valet parking, and they have a separate shop front for take out! Bravo Pineville Tavern!

Had a perfect family birthday celebration there on a Monday night. They went over the top to make sure my son felt special on his birthday. From the moment we walked in into dessert came, their kindness and attention to detail was apparent. The food was excellent from the kids meals to the specials. Great list of N.A. drink options too. Shot out to our server Haley for such great service.

We had not visited in awhile and I am so happy we took a friend’s advice. We ate at the bar and both bartenders could not have been more inviting and attentive. My husband enjoyed a pasta dish and I had the wedge with grilled shrimp….both entrees were perfect. Will be back again soon!

We (14 of us) celebrated a birthday at Pineville Tavern. Everyone enjoyed the food and drink! The service was great. We never felt rushed! The staff exceptional.

Attended an event here in the greenhouse. Beautifully decorated and the staff was excellent. Helpful, friendly, polite, and efficient. Appetizers were fantastic! Nice bar with an accommodating and cheerful bartender.

I believe I had the best burger of my life here. It was huge. Could only eat half. Perfectly cooked. Obviously sirloin. On an outstanding roll. Im salivating thinking about it.

my family & i went here for dinner & they did not disappoint. the french onion soup was to die for. drinks were amazing as well. our server was so nice & attentive even when they were very busy. they were also able to accommodate us by switching from the dining room to the garden area. omg the garden area was stunning!! so many beautiful flowers & plants. we felt like we were in a fairy land. someone definitely needs to use that space for their reception or something. 10/10 would go again :)

I met my coworkers here to celebrate a retirement party. We were seated in the green house area. Such a beautiful place. In side was very charming as well, are Waiter was amazing can't remember his name but, he had a great personality and gave out recommadtions on what was good to eat!!

Very nice place. The service was good, as was the food. The Rueben rolls were crispy and delicious. The shoestring French fries were perfectly cooked! The French dip sandwich wasn't skimpy on the amount of meat and very tasty. The only con was the cocktail glass had lipstick on it from a former patron. I would definitely come back again.

I want to tell you that a local place we've been to many times is super reliable/better every time. The hostess and staff on a sunday night were the perfect balance of attentive, engaged and gave us plenty of time to order and eat and sit. The most off putting thing was walking into the "greenhouse" area and instantly smelling fish. Not just-the person at the table next to me ordered the fish and chips but more the exhaust system needs to be checked. And we did order the fish and chips and the salmon (if its on the table I should be smelling this smell) and the ravioli along with appetizers and dessert. But the smell of fish persisted and would deter me from sitting out in the greenhouse. Next time it'll be inside and hopefully with the great wait and bus staff!

Food was good and reasonably priced. Our waiter Kyle was great, attentive but not intrusive. We sat in the greenhouse. Great atmosphere.

This Tavern is a place I’ve wanted to try for awhile now and it was ok. There is forced valet parking and even with reservations we had to wait. Our servers were nice and attentive (we had a few different individuals take various parts of our order.) The restaurant itself has a nice charm but we just felt a little out of place with the regular crowd and patrons.

I asked to be seated in the hall, but they seated us on the terrace. The terrace is well decorated, the atmosphere is not forced, relaxed, the waiters are not intrusive, the burger is moderately tasty, the bun is dry, there is not enough juice from the meat, the taste is not rich, the smoothie is too simple.Overall, you can come once or twice, I'll come back later to check if the burger was fixed, if not, I'll have to lower the star.

I was not impressed by this place. We decided to go for a date night and try the pizza that was supposed to be ✨️AMAZING✨️ I mean it was good but I've had better. It took 45 minutes to get to our table. In the meantime, we had soup, 1 snapper, and 1 French onion. The French onion was pretty good l, but the snapper was horrendous. My husband doesn't like to waste food, so he finished it, but wow I would never get that there again. The ravioli are not the same ones featured in that Triple D episode so I was disappointed since I hate cheese ravioli. The only winner-winner chicken dinner of the night was the lobster mac and cheese. Looked like a whole lobster was in there along with a delicious mac and cheese. Would go back for that only. We ate in the garden room, which was pretty and brightly lit, but the tables in there were disgusting. They need to do a deep cleaning on those wood tables; power wash them or just use tablecloths because they are repulsive to eat off of.

Gorgeous place for dining either with families or even for a date. Me and my husband really enjoy with the indoor sitting of their green house. We made reservation which recommended, the place was busy. Foods was ok except my snapper soup that actually was turtle 🐢 and yes our waiter already told us, it’s not my cup of tea but at least I tried it and experience it. Foods little bit pricey, this place like upscale restaurant. Parking also spacious and valet available.

Honestly the place wasn't bad, but I probably wouldn't go again. The food was okay, just felt a little bit pricey for what you got for what my partner and I consider alright. Decided against any apps as they were the same price range as most of the entree/meals. The snapper soup was very good though I will say that. The garden area was super cute and loved that aspect of it. Our waitress was nice and the staff seemed to be in a friendly mood all around.

(1) The greenhouse to eat in is incredible! 5 ⭐️ (2) The service, even with the small numbers there, wasn’t great. Server rarely came back. 2 ⭐️ (3) Food quality was very good! (4) Price for the food was outrageous. $34 for lobster Mac-n-cheese which had very little lobster. For that price, I’d expect more. (5) Cocktails were good! I’d go back but would probably go for cheaper goods like burgers and such.

Jan 2025: they advertised fondue all over the place for their new "Lodge" theme. We called and they said it was available then wasn't when we got here due to not having the proper "plating available". Original review: Lobster night was great! It was Maine lobster that had that clean sweet taste, yum! Mashed potatoes were great too! Definitely will go again! Updated review: Another visit we tried the lobster mac and cheese and were not impressed, it was a bit bland. But the bacon wrapped shrimp were fantastic! The bassets pumpkin ice cream is also phenomenal! Can be a bit loud and hard to hear your party in some of the rooms.

I was very excited to book my daughter’s wedding shower here and support a small, local business. I will say; the food is excellent. Bar and wait staff fantastic! The greenhouse room is beautiful but beware booking an event in there. The room is not well temperature controlled when it is hot out. I expressed this concern several times when booking and in the weeks before the event (I had visited for lunch and it was over 80 degrees in the greenhouse). I was assured it would be comfortable the day of my event. It was far from it - I had 50 guests and the temperature was in the 90s in the room- essentially ruining my daughter’s shower. (Granted: it was a heat wave, but over 90 degrees?!). Their food menu is very reasonably priced and they will accomadate any requests in that department but the event space fee is expensive - same price for an event room in New Hope, i.e.: the space should deliver. It does not. Unfortunately cannot recommend for events. Trust broken.

Won’t return. While, the food was good, it couldn’t overcome 20 minute waits between each course. 20 mins to get soft drinks and drinks from the bar. Another 20 mins for appetizers. Another 20 minutes for soups. Another 20 minutes for the main course, of which several plates had cold food, and another 20 minutes for desserts. Thank goodness the check came promptly, but then it was 9p and the restaurant was closing. We sat down at 6:15 p. My ribs were tasty. The sugar snap peas were over cooked, wrinkled and yet served cold. The creamed spinach had a good flavor but was more runny than creamy… AND lukewarm.

The atmosphere is great, but service could be better, especially at this price. The server took like 15 min to get our drinks, never gave us dinner rolls. We have to ask for them and get refill everytime... My set of silverware are sticky, almost like they never washed them. I took another set (server was not around) and it seems better. My mom found some dirt in her water. The appetizer taste great, we got the buffalo chicken and potato skin. Onion soup is great too. The actual main course is so so. I got a Chicken Parm, generous portion of chicken, but it is dry inside, same with the spaghett. They charged extra $0.50 for extra sauce. My brother got the scallop, basically they forgot to put it in or something, we waited 15 min for it to come with the rest of our dishes. It was way too salty, but the seafood quality is good. Burger and sandwiches are around $12 - $20. Pasta are like $17-$20, meatball are extras. And then entree are like $20 - $40.

We held our daughter's wedding shower here this past summer, after first being reassured more than once that the temperature would be at a comfortable level, even though it's an outdoor greenhouse. While the food and the service were great, the room was above 90 degrees during the event which made it unbearable. It was a struggle at the end to get even a modest amount of compensation for the highly uncomfortable environment. Instead, the owner/manager was more concerned about getting paid in full than even acknowledging that there was a major problem. After the event, we called the person who assured us this wasn't going to happen, and she woudn't return our phone call.

This used to be our favorite place. They got rid of the Mac and Cheese which is the only thing our kids loved. The service and wait times are just ridiculously slow. This went from a frequent destination to never going back again.

Disappointed. Outdoor seating consisted of an enclosed type of greenhouse. There was no opening to the outside. Loud acoustics with other people. I ordered the honey glazed salmon with cauliflower and dates. $39. I told her no onions please. What I got was the honey glazed salmon smothered with garbanzo beans with onions. No dates. I was told there were dates in there , but they were roasted red peppers. Server was very nice. But would I go back ? Sadly no. I’d look elsewhere.

Very old, very historic and gorgeous. The snapper soup isn't to be missed. Besides that everything else was terrible, the pulled pork sandwich was cold, the wings were cold. The Lobster Mac and Cheese just wasn't good. Plus they are way way way overpriced. The pizza was just okay. Will not be returning.

I have visited the Pineville occasionally over the last 40 years and it was always quite good. I remember it when it was a small local gem of a bar and small restaurant. It was a fun place to have dinner with good food. We were there last night for dinner. A party of 8 with 2 children and 6 adults. Our server, Matt, was very pleasant and was training Hugh, a new hire. The menu offers a variety and makes it hard to decide. I had been craving fish and chips so I opted for that. It was a huge disappointment. I thought the fish was supposed to be golden brown and CRUNCHY. What I got was decent fish covered in soggy, pale flavorless meal. I wish now that I had sent it back which I have never done. My guess is that it sat on the line getting cold so they microwaved it to heat it thus destroying any crunch. The chicken parm was ho hum, the small pizzas were ho hum, and the rest of the dishes served were average To top it off they add a card service charge to your bill. What?? Who walks in with $500 in cash to get dinner? I will never patronize this place again and I do NOT recommend it.

Awful experience. They literally sat at table of 6 next to a bathroom, I mean literally. I don’t care to hear we were busy either - disgusting and absurd. What are you thinking?!!! The burger I ordered also took and hour and half to make - folks this a bacon and cheese burger, not waygu or something nice even. Never ever again will I go, absolutely the worst experience I’ve had in a long time.

I gave you 5 stars because I got to watch the football game waiting for my food 45 minutes. The 1 star is because the server did not have food to serve us. After waiting 45 minutes when we got our food it was cold !!! We had to send it back to get it heated up. And the food we wanted to order you had run out. It was very disappointing to go for a Thanksgiving dinner and not having all the traditional food for it. So 45 minutes and not have the food . AND CHARGE 18 PERCENT GRATUITY for a disappointing Thanksgiving Dinner tell me would you go back ???

Me and a friend ordered 14oz NY Strip Steak it was 10 -11oz at best has silver skin running through it . The side of cream spinach was soup not a vegetable side ,you needed a spoon to eat it (which was not provided) We went to Bowmans Tavern after to supplement our dinner.
