    Awesome service and great food. We were here for a birthday dinner and it was awesome

    Solid old beautiful Tavern located in Bedminster township. I've driven by the building many times and I finally stopped in for dinner with my mother. It was a great evening for their outdoor dining, but I wanted to see and experience the inside of the building. Once inside the front entrance we walked past the bar area. It was clean and looked like a great time to have a drink and a meal. The hostess was just past the bar and the open line kitchen was just behind her. I was asked if I had a reservation. When I said no, the young lady hesitated, but seated us in the main dining room anyway. As she went to seat us there was an extremely rude server who made a face at her and was shaking her head. I don't want to get into workplace politics, but it obviously became a conversation with the rest of the staff. (To the server who wears some sort of phone or radio band around your neck I would say shame on you. Act professional, do NOT make customers feel uncomfortable. I spent the rest of my meal feeling a bit unwelcomed.) Our server (different person) came over shortly after and was awesome to deal with. She went over the menu and sold me on the Seared Crabcakes Benjamin - $29 - The "Toast of the Tavern." Twin four ounce cakes loaded with jumbo lump crabmeat. Rumor has it, the recipe came from Ben Franklin himself..... and the upgraded Snapper soup for $3.25 The Tavern Master's peppery favorite, we're told simply the best. My mother had the Shrimp and Scallop Scampi over angel hair for $25. The soup was a big portion, peppery indeed, but not overpowering and had a medium body (wasn't too thin, yet not like a bisque either). I thought it was well made and added a shot or two of sherry to give it some balance. The seared crabcakes were tasty, light on the filler, loaded with crabmeat and cooked just right. The dip wasn't good, but the veggies and mashed potatoes were. My mother enjoyed her meal and we were stuffed! Overall we had a great dinner and the inside of the building is beautiful. Kudos to the tall young lady who seated us! I'll make a reservation next time :)

    Handmade pierogies with grilled onions were very good. Piper salad and cooked veg came with meal, roll was served warm. Blackened Salmon was nicely blackened, and good, esp with fresh lemon. Mashed potatoes were amazing, cooked veg came with meal. Last time crab & chicken corn chowder, filet mignon with caesar salad, homemade dressing. Friend enjoyed burger, fries overcooked. Manager was very professional, service was good.

    Danielle our server was patient and informative! Service was top notch! Servings are plentiful- you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

    We have been enjoying trying all of the Historic Taverns in the area. We were passing by on a Friday night and weren't sure if we would get in without a reservation, but they were very accommodating. There was a mix of people dressed up with others more casual. You can eat in the bar area or dining room - both set up very nice. Everyone who worked there was super friendly and knowledgeable. Salad came with the dinner - the house salad and creamy apple cider vinegrette was excellent - for a small up charge my husband got the Ceasar salad, also delicious and both came with a really yummy warm roll. My filet was cooked perfect, very tender and the crab cake was crispy. The veggies on the side were cooked perfect not mushy and very flavorful. So was the mashed potato that comes on the side. Even though we were full once the dessert tray came around we had to share something and give it a try. The "cookie lava cake" came recommended as their most popular dessert so we went with that. It was good - not great. The cookie had more of a muffin texture and the chocolate inside wasn't really lava bUT it was still good and of course we ate it all. The bill was a lot cheaper than most restaurants these days, and it was a great overall experience, Can't wait to go back

    Had a great first experience at the Piper Tavern! I cannot say enough good things about our waitress Mailee (not sure if I'm spelling that right) she was super nice and personable and made sure to help us with any needs we had ! She was definitely one of the best waitresses I've had and worked extremely hard from taking our order, running food, busing and wrapping our leftovers. She did it all. The rest of the staff was also super friendly and welcoming! They had a fairly extensive menu and all entrees came served with a salad, a vegetable and potato. The vegetable was summer squash and mashed potatoes. I order the crab cakes which was a pair of fully loaded crab cakes with chunks of fresh crab. My dad wanted steak and ordered the trio of filet - which was so unbelievably tender it could be cut with a butter knife. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasty. The ambiance is nice there's a dining room as well as a tavern/ bar area and there is also outdoor seating for those that like that! I'd definitely recommend and look forward to coming back.

    Chicken Marcella, and it was yummy!

The restaurant was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! We were terribly impressed with the dining options. The dinners included Octopus; Steamed Clams; Schintzel- all of these were exquisite...even the garlic bread included with the clams was perfectly toasted. This inn was built in 1751, so obviously it's very quaint and charming. However, there are a few areas that need a wisp of improvement. We stayed in Room 207. There were few electrical outlets and they didn't always cooperate. It wasn't until almost last day of our visit that we figured out the light switch (next to the door) needs to be up for that outlet to work. This room sits above the bar and dining area so we could hear the noises and music below. Since it is close to the street, the morning traffic noise from cars and large trucks is clearly heard.

They also came with corn salad which was flavorless. My husband got the fish & chips which was overcooked and dry. The disco fries did not have curds - just a big lump of hard cheese. Disappointing at best.

    The Devil Made Us Do It!…read more Popped into Devil's Acre for lunch today, located right along Easton Rd in Doylestown. The place has a good-sized dining area with booths, high tops, and bar seating. The staff was warm, welcoming, and impressively patient with my million questions about the "daily specials." Devil's Acre rotates deli, dog, salad, tot, and soup options each day - definitely ask what kind of mischief the chef is up to before ordering. After some back-and-forth, I played it safe (?) with the Fried Chicken Sandwich while he went with the Beef on Weck. We started with the pretzel bites, which turned out to be a bit of a disappointment - six small pieces with a lackluster dipping sauce. Wouldn't recommend. Unfortunately, the main event didn't redeem things. My chicken sandwich was underwhelming, small, and it could've used a good pounding to actually fit the bun. The beef had decent flavor but was begging for an au jus to take it to the next level. Both sandwiches came with chips, want fries instead? That's not just an up charge - it's a full side order, and you lose the chips in the process. All in, lunch set us back nearly $60 with tip, and we left feeling underfed in both flavor and value. Next time I hear the Devil whispering, I think I'll keep driving.
