Lunch at the Yardley Inn (March 08)

We stopped in for lunch at the Yardley Inn of the Friday before Easter. If you get there after 2:30 you are limited to their bar menu. We got there just in time for lunch. We got a great seat with a view of the river.

Our waitress was one of the best we ever had in terms of service and overall cheerfulness. They bring out a pretty good assortment of bread and miniature corn muffins that were especially tasty. Our son ordered a shrimp cocktail which was 5 Jumbo sized shrimp for $13. He also ordered a dish of pasta for $8. My wife and I both had the Crab meat with potatoes and Ratatouille with a caper sauce. ($15 each) That was excellent. For desert I had an Oreo chocolate pie as did our son.

The total tab came to about $86. It was definitely worth it. We also found that they have a couple of rooms for parties. One of them will host about 30 people and has a view of the river.

It's definitely one of those places where we want to go back to soon.

Lunch at the Yardley Inn

We stopped in for Lunch at the Yardley Inn today (Saturday). It was 3:30 and the parking lot was packed. Evidentally, they were having a couple of graduation parties. Luckily, we had reservations for 2 at a window seat.

The seating was a little tight, but then again, I'm not exactly petite. The service was excellent.

We both had the crab cakes. $17 for one crab cake with mashed potatoes and squash. It might sound pricey, but the cake was mostly crab with very little filler, not a bread cake that you get at some other places. For desert I tried the Lava Cake. Picture a rich chocolate cake with melted marshmallow and chocolate..

The ambiance is that of a 1700's Inn with a location on facing the Delaware river. River Road runs right by the windows, so you get a little bit of traffic. The trim is black and the walls are painted a dark colonial tan. The entire restaurant is non smoking except for the outdoor patio are.


Lunch for 2 with deserts and no drinks came out to just under $60. ( and was well worth it)

The Yardley Inn, located in historic Bucks County, features a classic country Inn atmosphere with a spectacular River View.
