A few of the misses: frozen and not hand-cut fries, the kiosk ordering was not clear and instead of a burger with the desired toppings, we ended up with the two things we didn't want. The kitchen was accommodating to provide me with a side of lettuce, tomato, and pickles I could add on myself. The burger was good but nothing too special. A little expensive for lunch.

The bottom line: delicious burgers and fries in a jazzy home cafeteria ambience. The best burger…read moreone of us ever had and the rest were also top notch. This affordable gem is hidden among the other pricy New Hope restaurants. The kiosk and staff were fine, but not overly inviting. A good spot for grown ups and kids and a wide variety of choices.

After accidentally putting an actual beef burger patty on my wife's impossible whopper, I called…read morethe store to let them know of the issue. The manager immediately told me that she "knew" that the order couldn't be wrong because she "watched the cook put it in the microwave." I tried to explain to her that it wasn't a matter of how the burger was cooked but what it was actually made out of (because my wife is a vegetarian), and the manager continued to argue with me while also saying that if I drove back to the store with the receipt, she would replace it. When I arrived, she tried to take the burger from me; and I told her that I wanted to keep it to show her the difference in consistency, shape and odor between a beef burger and an impossible patty; and she acted like she was personally offended. She then proceeded to tell me I was "yelling" at her-- I wasn't-- and then admitted that, although I wasn't yelling I was "being rude." To this point, she had tried to say my problem wasn't really a problem and had questioned me all along the way, failing to realize that the reason that people order impossible whoppers is because they don't eat meat. At this point, she said there's was nothing to say. Her teammates, because she had made such a spectacle of herself, felt the need to defend her when, quite frankly, she was argumentative and tried to gaslight me throughout my entire experience. I don't know her name. She took the receipt when I came back. She was the manager on duty at the 15482 Kutztown Rd location; and I never got an apology from her for 1) my wife eating meat or 2) her questioning my judgment about what mean looks, tastes and feels like. [I have had both patties and am familiar with the differences, as my wife often lets me finish off her sandwich.] More than anything, I wish my wife actually got an apology from the manager.

Burger runn Cheesesteak…read more I've been told repeatedly to try the cheesesteaks here. On a previous visit I had the burgers and I thought they were very good. Though at my visit today I discovered they use Martin's potato rolls for the burgers. The place was a former deli and is tiny. I was greeted at the door and they took my order. Cheesesteak fried onions provolone. My go to order. The floor is tiled and slippery and I almost fell several times. It was around 4:15 so I thought I beat the dinner rush but apparently everyone orders from here on DoorDash or Uber Eats. At least a dz orders were picked up while I was waiting. I thought the wait was a little long.... But I stood there waiting for my sandwich. Finally a woman from the back come up front to address a problem with a chicken order and asked what I was waiting for.... A cheesesteak I replied and the counter woman that took my order grabbed a bag that was sitting in the pickup pile and handed it to me Alex? She asked yes I replied. I took my sandwich and got into my truck. At a red light I reached over to feel the bag... it was Luke warm. I expected my sandwich to be piping hot. Ggggggrrrrrrr. That is why I ordered at the place but the nearly 30 minute wait with the undetermined amount of time it was on the to go counter will you get the picture. On my arrival at home I opened the sandwich and snapped a photo. At this point it was barely warm. I prepared it with ketchup, hot pepper hoagie spread and my last slices sweet horseradish dill pickles. The first bite was underwhelming. Barely warm and the roll which was supposed to be sarcone's tasted more like amoroso. Onions were diced into fine cubes and I prefer more than the tiny amount provided. Overall taste was good but because it was nearly cold hard to actually evaluate. The overall sandwich had enough meat and a good meat to bread ratio. I found no trace of fat or grizzle. Maybe if circumstances were better I would have been happier but it did not reach the hype.

We stopped at Ozgood's, it was about 12:30pm. It was surprisingly busy for the rainy day & thoughts of those out for celebrations tomorrow. We waited in the corridor for about 10 minutes while two large parties were seated. Then we were sat in a back booth. We did not have a reservation. We were hungry and ordered fairly quickly. For how busy they were we only waited about 20 minutes for food. Our server was nice, quiet but attentive. Never felt like we weren't being checked on. All together- I had the Habanero Bacon Jam Scallops, Mom had the Ozgood's Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, my Hubby ordered the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese with Fries. Hits and Misses in the food. The bacon jam was gooey, without that punch of pepper or bacon as hoped for. And the scallops needed 30 more seconds on the heat. I like raw scallop, so didn't mind it. But for a normal patron's palate these would have been undercooked. Also these were not super fresh. My husband pot roast sandwich was good. The banana peppers gave it pizazz, as well the gravy for the fries- nice touch for a dip. My Mom's burger was ok. And sweet potato fries tasted out of the box. One surprise was this cocktail! Mom and I shared and both loved it!! I did not catch the name- but it had gin and blueberry syrup. Now I need to find blueberry syrup for a cocktail. This was refreshing, punchy and sweet. Upping this review to a 4-star for the quick service and cocktail. Ozgood's has been around for a long time and makes sense why. It's solid, not standout. But worth a visit.

Well they had 3, coconut pie, coconut cake and coconut pudding which was delicious and more like cake. That sealed the deal for me, so here we are back again. I started with a cocktail which is rare for me. The Brandy Daisy was delightfully refreshing. I had the special grilled cheese. A spectacular creation starting with brioche, spread with pesto, layered with ham, bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato. I declined the egg which would have been too much for me. The house made chips were thick and crisp and seasoned really well. Partner had the schnitzel (I got his salad). The mashed potatoes were oddly brown. But quite delicious as was the veal, I had to taste both. We were fat and happy so we had to take dessert to go. Coconut walnut cake was moist and delicious packed with all the goodies. Buttercream iced 3 layer chocolate reminded me of my Pop Pop's. It was late, there were only 2 other tables so we had all the attention we needed. Starting to notice a growing disparity between cost and quality. This was a fine meal for the price, nearly equal to the one the night before which cost twice as much. So I included the bill

I've been to this restaurant numerous times, but it was my first time trying steak night this past Thursday my husbands brother was in town so we thought we would take him to the Mckeansburg Hotel. He was there in the past and ordered scallops. I couldn't stop talking about how delicious they were. We opted to sit at the bar and got prompt and friendly service from the owner bartender, Kevin and our server and I'm very sorry. I did not recall her name but she gave very good service and I know that she was extremely busy even being so busy, she was very efficient and polite . I opted to get the strip steak. It is 9 ounces and I ordered it medium in addition to the strip steak. You also get a soup or salad +2 side dishes and homemade fresh baked bread. I heard through the grapevine that the owner comes in at 3 AM and bakes the bread for the restaurant . It has a very pleasant oniony savory flavor. My steak was cooked to perfection and was only $12.95. My brother-in-law law ordered a steak that had onions and mushrooms and my husband ordered the steak with Cajun seasoning. I believe in a blue cheese crown that he absolutely loved. I think those steaks may have been a couple dollars extra but still the price was phenomenal. I would highly recommend steak night. You should consider making a reservation if you want to sit in the dining room all the board tables were already reserved when we arrived, but luckily we were able to find three seats at the bar, but we also went very early. The Mckeansburg is a charming restaurant in the beautiful countryside and it is a well run business most of the times when I go to Mckeansburg, I tend to order the thin sliced roast beef french dip with their delicious creamy horseradish sauce, but for the same price I could have steak on steak night, so I had to try it! It is their specialty and did not disappoint!! I can see what all the excitement is about. I'll be back to this quaint lovely hotel restaurant soon. It's so homey and inviting. The food and prices can't be beat!

First opened in 1890 as an eatery and hotel, the hotel portion is no longer in service, but the restaurant is still thriving where my partner, his family and I came to this hidden gem for breakfast yesterday morning. Reservation was luckily made last minute by calling that morning for an available 830am seating; otherwise, it would have been at 11am. They are that popular for brunch, and patrons would be turned away without one. Upon arrival, some of us stood at the "wait to be seated" sign for a few minutes before being acknowledged. The restaurant appeared to be empty by the number of available parking spaces off of Chestnut Street, with at least three or four tables occupied by customers. Once greeted by the staff, we were immediately seated by the kitchen in the dining room to a simple, traditional, and inviting atmosphere. Like many older buildings, the bar is in a separate room from the restaurant. The breakfast menu was limited compared to other establishments in northern Jersey. We decided on the Farmer Breakfast, Creamed Chipped Beef, Breakfast Quesadilla (no meat) with potatoes substituted, and Eggs Benedict. Our meal was served hot, delicious, homemade with fresh ingredients, and cooked to order. Our server, Sheila, was attentive and accommodating. The price was very reasonable. With history and roots for food and drinks, we can recommend this place.

Mine came with baked potato and broccoli that I was not able to swap for their other veggie option green beans. Somewhat disappointing but he just got them for his side and we shared both. The chicken was juicy and tasty however the bruschetta topping had green peppers in it. I don't mind peppers and the flavor profile was there, but I have never had bruschetta with peppers in it anywhere before. He gave a thumbs up for the steak. Baked potatoes served hot with butter and sour cream on the side done well and not overcooked. Our experience was somewhat shaken by another table when a man started vomiting onto his plate. The crew immediately came and wiped up the mess but obviously it was an uncomfortable situation for all. I was slightly concerned that the entire table wasn't cleared off and treated when they left, and they just slid aside the condiment caddy and barely wiped down the table. In my opinion the table caddy should have been removed/replaced and the table and chairs should have been sanitized. The inside is dimly lit with additional table lighting making it perfect for casual dining. Our server was attentive and polite and despite our unique experience I would most likely give them another try when in the area.
