Great spot to get something to eat after canoeing or kayaking for the day. The food is good, but I would not say there was any entree that blew me away. The location and that they offer canoeing and kayaking is what makes this place great. You can also feed the sunny fish off the deck too! I always make time to stop here for a bite and enjoy the view off the deck. read more

From the outside this looks like a typical neighborhood bar...and it is, however, during the summer they rent canoes and kayaks as well. So today we did some canoeing and worked up an appetite paddling over 4 miles, thus we went for a beer and a sandwich. They serve typical American/bar fare (sandwiches, wings, burgers, salads, etc). The portions are huge and the beer battered fries are pretty good. They do have a patio you can sit on or by the bar, which can get a bit smoky. read more

I went to Fitzwater Station last night with seven of my friends for girls night out. We were so excited because we heard they were under new management and the food was really good. Well when we got there we of course wanted to sit together but they would not put any of the tables together fine, we then were told the would have patio seating for us shortly so we waited and waited. We decided to get drinks at the bar and waited again, a bartender comes (I wanted to card him) and starts writing down our orders, we wait again. Twenty minutes later we have our watered down drinks!! We are still waiting for our table with no word from the rude servers. After almost an hour of putting up with no service having dirty looking our way we left and went someplace else. The new owner was there and didn't seem to care that he just lost eight customers, let alone the word of mouth damage that can be done. read more

I wrote this after seeing what is unequivocally the best restaurant I have been to in PA (like - by a huge margin) somehow has three stars. I will say, this is one of those places where you need to know what to order: Get the Brisket, it is beyond incredible (the ribs are ok but just not the same quality and a little sweet) . Note: If you like spicy they have a house made spicy sauce I would recommend. Get the frys (maybe the best French fries I have ever had, extremely crunchy - outshine the onion rings) Try the crab cakes (nice but if I was working there I would find a way to make them crispier) Avoid! The nachos (frankly, they should take them off the menu. I noticed them on a lot of the bad review pictures and have been disappointed in them myself) If you want something cheap get the corn dog (only $2). It is nothing special but not disagreeable. read more

CANOE OUTFITTERS I went with friends to go canoeing here and it was pretty nice. You had to register with the bartender and bring waiver forms signed. It was about $22 for each person. We split into 3 canoes with 2 people each. Women in front and men in the back. We did the 1.5 hour canal canoe trip and it would have been longer if we actually picked up the canoe and went to the next canal. Overall, very peaceful with alot of geese. Alot of low lying trees which made it an adventure. Afterwards, we went to Molly Maguires and would come out here again. read more

The most perfect dive bar! You have the option of dining inside or outside on the patio, which is located right along the river. Great menu with even better prices. The 1/2 rack of ribs are divine.

I've frequented the Fitz, typically for dinner at least 6 times. The food, service and ambiance especially on the deck) are excellent. The service also has been very good. There can be a wait to sit on the deck but I has never exceeded 25 min and is more often about 15 min. It will be interesting how they handle the volume once the weather gets colder. Will they put gas heaters on the deck? Enclose it? I hope they come up with a solution as otherwise seating is more limited. The ambiance inside is very nice and rustic too. The inside is not large, however. Moreover, the outside seating ambiance overlooking tranquil canal is wonderful. read more

My last experience wasn't that great. Service was below the usual standard here, drinks were a snails crawl at best coming out to the deck. The inside bar was empty, as it was a beautiful night on the canal. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and they were out of several items. I was told there were limited portions of the all u can eat shrimp... main reason I come here on Wednesday. I may not return for a while. Disappointed. read more

I love this place. It's become a tradition to go weekly for my brother and I. The brisket Sammy is my favorite (especially with the smoked cheddar and long hots). I haven't had anything I didn't like honestly. The atmosphere inside or out is welcoming and the view of the canal and all the wildlife is to die for. Their beer selection is HUGE and ever changing. The owner and family are often present and the staff seems like a part of the family which I always like to see especially in post covid restaurant experiences.

History

Established in 1839.

Fitzwater Station is located 20 miles west of Philadelphia in Port Providence, PA in close proximity to historic Valley Forge National Park. Enjoy carefree dining and drinking in our carefully restored 19th century building perched on the Schuylkill Canal. This tavern on the canal did a brisk business at the turn of the century as the hard working, hard drinking bargemen made it one of their favorite hostelries on the long trip to and from Philadelphia! Our full history, sumptuous menus and entertainment offerings can all be explored right here.

Meet the Business Owner: John P.

We have recently acquired this hidden gem in Port Providence, Pa. We are striving to bring the public a stellar selection of craft beers and great cuisine. We also offer a beautiful scenery and outdoor dining. We are reasonably priced and staffed with great attitudes and great service.

The roast beef didn't have the hot peppers on it like I ordered so when I called, he just told me he was very sorry and didn't try to make it right. I ate almost half of the ham and cheese hoagie when I bit into something hard which was a piece of wood. I'm assuming the wood came from a cutting board but I still find this completely unacceptable.

THIS PLACE IS A DISGRACE. The old owner was amazing and he still handles all of the boat and kayak rentals which is good but he rented the restaurant out and the people who run it are a COMPLETE DISASTER. RUDE. IGNORANT. For the past three months they have let the trash pile up in the parking lot and REFUSE to clean it up. I live across the street and it smells like garbage horribly. The "manager" Jackie and I have had words before regarding this trash and I have asked her numerous times to clean it up, so have many other neighbors- she is rude and tells us it is not her fault. Last night when I went to ask her to clean up the 15 bags of trash in the parking lot and the overflowing, smelly mess she decided to tell me to "go eat a salad." She would clearly rather make fun of my weight then take responsibility and clean the place up. It is dangerous to the animals and to the canal. DO NOT EAT THERE. But feel free to rent your boats and kayaks- completely separate business. read more

Horrible business practices! If you enjoy being a loyal customer and having a bartender falsely accuse you of something that is borderline criminal, this is your place to go! The owner, Frank, does not respond to customers and blocks them when someone inquires about false accusations. Absolutely awful. Please learn some professionalism and don't make awful accusations against someone, then block them everywhere when they try to figure out what on earth is going on! One thing you need to ask yourself and your staff is, if the accusations were true- then WHY, at the end of our visit, would the servers give us coupons for our next visit and tell us to come when they are there? read more

My wife had the burger salad and I had the mushroom burger. 8oz. patty and I wasn't impressed with its flavor. Plenty of Kennett mushrooms but they had no flavor. Beer braised onions were very few cand also nothing special. If it had the garlic aioli on there I didn't notice it or taste it either and the burger itself was as if it was a frozen patty. Very firm and almost chewy. Bun was warmed up nicely. The fries had zero seasoning and boring and they got cold fast. Bummer to say the least but the overall bill was reasonable. Didn't finish half the burger. They hire the right people, that's for sure. I'll have to rethink my order the next time and take another look for those other wing flavors.

Chadwick's Restaurant and Bar

Having passed it by on numerous occasions without a second glance... hiding in plain sight strikes…read moreme as the perfect semantic descriptor for this rather intriguing eatery. Tucked away within the precincts of the Club at Shannondell, a public golf course, Chadwick's is a hidden gem that is certainly well worth discovering. Locally owned and operated, the restaurant not only offers patrons a casually comfortable environment in both the main dining room and the cozy bar area, but also a menu of classic American fare filled with a variety of provocative gastronomic eye-openers. Yes, the usual suspects are present and accounted for. However, the kitchen has a tendency to team them up with a number of unusual and curiously compelling accoutrements. Which, needless to say, makes for some rather interesting - and thoroughly enjoyable - dining. Consider, for example, the Sweet Jersey Corn Flatbread. Most diners have encountered flatbread in one form or another and realize that the ingredients may vary greatly, depending upon the individual restaurant and/or whims of the chef. Here, as the name indicates, one of the slightly unusual features is the inclusion of kernels of roasted sweet corn. Old familiars like tomato and mozzarella are cast in supporting roles, with crumbles of crisp bacon contributing additional flavor and texture. But the pièce de resistance is clearly the irresistible splash of chipotle crema, which succeeds in generating just enough heat to push up the "wow" factor by several significant notches. Chadwick's Chophouse Salad (pictured) is yet another interesting variation on a favorite theme... The mixed greens and grilled chicken are certainly straightforward enough. But then things take a surprising turn with the addition of items such as dried cranberries, candied pecans, hickory-smoked bacon, apple slices, goat cheese, and white chocolate. Unusual? For certain. But also deliciously addictive... with a sinfully seductive white-honey vinaigrette providing the perfect complementary finishing touch. My dining companion and I were fortunate enough to share the two above-mentioned items during a recent luncheon sojourn; and I freely confess that we were more than just a little impressed with the kitchen's adventurous innovations. However, should you decide to put in an evening appearance - with menu entries such as Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf, Potato and Horseradish Crusted Salmon, Marry Me Chicken, and Slow Braised Mojo Pork - I'm certain that your taste buds will be equally inspired. The dessert menu, if you'll pardon the pun, is short and sweet. There are just four possibilities; but, in their own way, they are just as titillating as many of the items that have preceded them: Honey Jack Daniel's Bread Pudding, Chadwick's Peanut Butter Pie, Dubai Chocolate Torte, Brandied Cherry New York Cheesecake. As I have undoubtedly noted in previous reviews, any mention of peanut butter on a dessert menu is an immediate draw... and Chadwick's Peanut Butter Pie (pictured) is certainly no exception. That being said, however, incorporating proper peanut butter taste into cakes, pies, and pastries is definitely something of a "sticky wicket." In other words, problematic. So problematic, in fact, that in my years of reviewing various and sundry peanut butter-laced desserts, I have, for the most part, been consistently disappointed. Fortunately, that is not the case here. The taste of Chadwick's Peanut Butter Pie is subtle, yet exceptionally pleasurable. Ditto the texture... which succeeds in gently caressing the palate rather than overwhelming it.

Serving staff were friendly and very helpful when I was making my food selections. It was a hot day. I wanted food but didn't want anything very heavy. I decided to order two starters. The salmon bites were my first choice. They were delish! Salmon was grilled perfectly with a nice seasoning. It paired really well with the serving sauce. My other selection was from the special menu. It was a crab salad tower served with tortilla chips. This dish was perfect for the hot day. The components of the tower worked so well together. It was light, filling and refreshing. I have to say I was disappointed with the cinnamon arancini dessert. The arancini were okay but I did not like the sauce served with it. It added nothing to the dish. Oh well, two out of three isn't bad :) I enjoyed my visit and will not hesitate to visit again.

First visit to MaGerk's and I'll be back. Went about three o'clock this past Saturday and while…read morethey were pretty busy, they got our table of six seated right away. Large beer selection and plenty of space; you're not crowded or creeping up on the table next to you. That's important to me. Everyone in my group was happy with their food. I'm an appetizer specialist myself and quite enjoyed the mozzarella triangles and the pretzel bite combo. Friendly and quick service, too. The waitresses and bartenders were definitely busy but didn't keep us waiting. I like this place!

Super disappointed in the food and service. I have been here many times before with my friends and…read moremy wife. Tonight they were extremely packed. The server was lacking in service and was absent a lot. The food was way over priced for what I received. The 4 inch lobster roll is definitely not worth what they charged and my wife asked the server many times if the chicken was spicy and she assured her it was not. I tried it and i am an avid lover of spicy and when I tried it it was extremely spicy. I asked for something and never received it from the server. We will definitely be going somewhere else for our anniversary dinner next time. I hope the owner reads this review.

Service is always very attentive and we have always gotten a seat even when it's packed. Food is almost always great, the only miss I've ever had is over cooked chicken on a sandwich. The menu is big and I love how they have daily specials so there's always something new to try. The vibe is super relaxed. I'm sure I'll be back many times!

I live on coming home to this place! Food is as good as it looks and the staff is friendly! A full bar with cold beer on tap!! Always a good time during the holidays and the atmosphere reminds me of CHEERS!! The menu actually states this bar is over 200 years old!

Great flavor but terrible bread combo -- they use a super thin bread that makes the entire sandwich fall apart immediately. Our sole complaint.
