Food is out of this world. The bar service is top notch. Drinks are never under poured. You definitely get your money's worth.

A very cozy atmosphere with a homestead feel. Great menu and reasonably priced. Service has always been great! read more

Reliably excellent food in a perfect outdoor setting conducive to convivial conversation. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and the desserts unusually tasty. The step down to the patio could use a railing for stability for the Medicare crowd. Indoor dining has a more jovial and pub like ambiance . I would heartily recommend it as a dining option any season of the year. read more

This a very warm & inviting restaurant, and the service was pleasant enough. My wife and I thought the food was tasty-but- we thought it was pricey for what you received. The dessert prices weren't listed-we could only imagine. Pizza wasn't offered for lunch mon-sat. There's just too many other choices out there. I don't think we'll rush back right away. read more

The Limeport Inn is a staple and a great place to get a delicious meal. Fine dining for dinner, we frequent the bar area and order mostly from their bar menu. They make great personal pizzas and their French onion soup is to die for. All of their salad dressings are made in house and they frequently rotate their specials menu. Rustic in décor, they also have a pretty outdoor patio that's delightful in the summer. read more

We eat here frequently and really enjoy going to this place- it's quite a gem. The building itself is charming! The food is always delicious and our service is usually great. I appreciate that the servers are typically quite familiar with the menu and are able to answer any questions we have. They have a nice selection of cocktails as well with unique seasonal drinks. read more

Been there a few times lately and just have been disappointed.. Its too bad that this place went from being one of my favorites restaurant to almost not wanting to go back there for a while now.. Oh well, I'll live! read more

Based on many reviews here, it seemed like the Limeport Inn was what I was looking for for a pleasant outdoor meal before Pennsylvania's summer gets us all soupy and sweaty... And the Inn did not disappoint. This is nice country inn dining. Unstuffy feel... People outside were in hoodies and shorts and jeans. They have upscale food choices if you wish, and down to Earth pub fare if you prefer. We cannot tell you a thing about the Inn's interior because all our ambiance was absorbed in their lovely back outside compound with a tranquil fountain and ferns galore, set under old trees. We were charmed to be visited by a lovely grey young barn cat who lives in the structure behind this patio, and who enjoyed some of my scallops. Our servers were pleasant and attentive without being intrusive, and we were seated and given menus and offered drinks quickly. We were given pita wedges and some very mild sour cream and spring onion hummus while we scoped the menu. The very old school offering of scallops wrapped in bacon was renamed poetically as "angels on horseback" and that was my appetizer, served with cocktail sauce I ignored so I could enjoy the subtle taste of the scallops which seemed fresh, or in any case, not rubbery. My companion enjoyed a veg pizza as the main course, while I opted for fish and chips, which came with the best tartar sauce I've ever had- none of your pickle relish here, just creamy dill goodness. The thick cut fries were not a huge pile, but enough that I was satisfied and able to share. Ditto the fish, four pieces nicely done, not greasy at all, and just enough for me... and some for our shy four footed visitor as well. Not sure if my drink is representative of most of their drinks, but the hand that poured it was pleasantly judicious without going overboard, and very sizeable indeed. If you are vegetarian, you will probably choose from the smoked veggie stack salad, the veg spring rolls, or one of the pizzas. They are willing and able to flex ingredients as needed too. If you are low carbing, you'll not have issues except maybe skipping the starch served with your meal. The salad offerings are plentiful too. Though I only cheated a bit with a few fries, one drink and 3 pita wedges, I shoved some sugar free gum in my mouth before I could ask for the dessert offerings. Between the picturesque setting, the good meal, the setting sun and overall vibe, we had a lovely time, and think the Limeport Inn is worth your time. It feels "out there" but is very close to Allentown /Emmaus so you get the country pleasures without investing a lot of time. We'll be back for sure. read more

The Limeport deserves five stars because overall they have everything a restaurant should hope to have. An authentic atmosphere with a touch of modernity makes it charming yet hip and cool. Our service has always been wonderful, and being a server myself you know I'm going to be very skeptical. But each time I have been there our server has been so nice, friendly, and helpful. They make you feel very welcomed. And to top of my experience, the food is absolutely out of this world. The last time I went, I had maple roasted duck with vegetable stir fry. It was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend. To top it off I got Nutella peanut butter cheesecake. Folks, this is seriously the best cheesecake I have ever had. It is so unlike all other cheesecakes. They make it so light and fluffy it literally will melt in your mouth. And a quick side note: we've ordered pizzas here togo before and they really aren't that much more expensive than most and it is to die for! So whether you are trying to grab a quick bite on a Friday night or going out for a special occasion the limeport will surely be able to satisfy your needs... And cravings :) read more

See all

First timer to this place! The food was good, atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I drove by it all the time and have never stoped in. That will change. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had. We got to the Limeport Inn at 7:30pm for dinner. We placed our main course dinner order with our completely incompetent waitress around 8:05pm. We waited until roughly 9:25pm and still no dinner. When I approached the "manager" (and I use the word very lightly) on duty his sarcastic response to me was "I'll go check, maybe you ordered steaks or something." I am no 5 star chef, but even if I did order steaks (which I did not) do they really take over 1 hour to cook? I can usually pan sear a steak in 8 minutes using my crappy low quality range top and oven in my home kitchen. EVEN if I did order a steak, how is it my fault that it takes YOUR establishment over 1 1/2 hours to cook it? On top of that, every other customer in our dining room, that came at least 1 hour after us mind you, was getting their food ahead of us, some were even done eating! I'm pretty sure our "waitress," who was avoiding my family and I at all costs once we got up and called for the owner, forgot to put our order in. She kept telling us it will be 2 more minutes once she saw us getting impatient around 9:10pm, which furthers my assumption that she screwed up and wanted to lie rather then tell us she never put our order in. So after being disrespected by a manager that told me it was my fault that a table of 10 (who arrived an hour after us) was served ahead of us, having a waitress that only Zac Bagans of Ghost Adventures could find with an EVP sensor (since she disappeared when the S***hit the fan) and an owner. who can not staff his establishment properly, who also tried to pass the blame us, we all walked right out. Thank you SPINNERSTOWN HOTEL for feeding us that night. If you want to eat in under 5 house, steer clear of the Limeport Inn, until either Chef Gordon Ramsey or Robert Irvine come in and clean house. The management here is a disgrace, my only hope is the owner wakes up and realizes it before it's too late. read more

We've been here twice now, and must say that the goat cheese dip is fantastic! Must have. Entrees have all been delicious as well. Service has been top notch both visits. We'll be back again. read more

Limeport is my family's home away from home! We have eaten here at least 30+ times (actually may be a far underestimate) so that speaks for itself. WONDERFUL food, drinks and service all at a very reasonable price. Our favorites are the 3-2-1 appetizer (it's the Angels on Horseback-bacon wrapped scallops, crab cake and Fried Brie En Croute) and the calamari. Favorite salad is the baby Spinach with red onion, sunflower seeds, blue cheese, and dried cherries- yum! We have tried just about each entree but cannot stray from either the Soy-Glazed Sea Bass (the best Sea Bass you will ever have! Hands down.) or the Indian Spice Rubbed New Zealand Lamb Rack (4-5 thick cuts served with mint jelly and garlic mash). The portion sizes are generous and the flavors and quality are very consistent. Desserts are also divine! All fresh from the owner's wife. Try the peanut butter pie- my husband who could literally live off the stuff says this is his favorite peanut butter dessert by a mile. I cannot say enough great things about Limeport. It is a MUST try if you have never been. Fantastic people with wonderful food and drinks to back them! What else can I say but if you don't like the place, there is something wrong with you ;) read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat! We come here with friends about once a month and often get items from the pub fare or the daily specials. Don't miss the homemade chips. My favorite wrap is the blackened salmon with the jerky mayonnaise. Not a drinker but I understand the drinks are pricey. Service is always good. I love how they have classic American with an upscale fusion twist. read more

Beautiful courtyard, food, service was excellent. Very enjoyable evening! Most impressed was the precision in delivering the food as one course ended, the next arrived, no rushing. Definitely a go back to place! read more

Love the Limeport Inn! The food is great, especially the pizza and peanut butter pie. My husband prefers a more upscale ambiance; however, it is very comfortable, the drinks are good, and the servers seem very friendly. When I have family in from out of town, this is always on a their wish list for dinner. Beautiful location and they have a nice outside dining area. read more

First of all, limeport inn has a great outdoor dining area. Service was slow but that was okay because we were with friends. Food was good with the exception of the duck breast... normally duck breast is served medium rare....the server never asked how I wanted it done so foolishly I assumed it would be medium rare. It was well done....I ate a little... It was very dry.....all in all this was a very average experience at an above average cost. read more

Why must you beg for ice and bread at this restaurant. It's happened to me more than once so it's not a fluke. How about $35 for a small strip steak dinner "special" mounted on 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes with 3 string beans? You must be gourmet to charge gourmet prices. We will not be back. read more

Love the setting of this unique old building on a rural road and was happy to find out that the food inside was just as nice. Great cozy bar area in case of time to kill before dinner reservations and the menu had decent variety and was good quality. Not trying to be frilly michelin star but definitely will repeat a visit there. Also a side note - we were with a small group but noticed private functions in the side rooms with lovely holiday decorations - looked like a great option! read more

This is the prettiest outdoor patio you'll find in the Lehigh Valley, large with plenty of seating amidst the tranquil sound emanating from the sizable water-feature. The interior is a bit dated, both in the dining rooms and bar area - but that's part of the charm. It's not "over-designed" like many of the restaurants in The Promenade and City Center Allentown. Very relaxing, and easy to pick up on bar conversations with an interesting mix of folks. Diverse food choices, lots of full entrees, personal pizzas, bar menu. I had a great seafood appetizer trio, a nice well-priced Pinot Noir, and a fantastic fresh peach-centric dessert. Out of town guests - particularly New Yorkers - like coming here throughout the year for the nice blend of ambiance and good food at reasonable prices and a very friendly staff. The food is good, but it's not Bolete quality - thus the lack of a 5th star. read more

I am very fussy when it comes to food. I order take out pizza here a few times a month. I also eat in the bar every couple of weeks, never ate in the dining room. The food is great, the service is top notch. Their pizza is the best in the valley. Making a pizza isn't rocket science but why do so many places turn out inedible garbage? Limeport Inn is one of the few places that gets it right, thin tasty fresh crust, and quality cheese, and fresh ingredients. The chefs there know what the hell they're doing. read more

Atmosphere...great! Food...great!... Two $$? Not really. I would definitely give this place $$$ for it's menu. The bar food looked more reasonable. The outdoor patio was really nice, although we didn't get to sit out there. This place is in the middle of nowhere but worth going to read more

My wife and I just returned from dinner at 8pm. seating. We had eaten there twice before in the last 18 months upon a recommendation. Both times the food was 8-9 on a scale of 10. We arrived at 7. Sat at the bar had 2 glasses of wine and Humus appetizer. Nice atmosphere and bartender. at 7:50 I asked the hostess where we stood for time. "Oh I forgot all about you. This is my fourth night here". OK you get a pass. Get to a table. It's wet. Other tables not bussed. Definitely understaffed. Nice waitress. Ordered Lambchops med. Came raw. Outside seared but, really raw. Meatloaf: unidentifiable contents, broken up,mashed swimming in Bourbon sauce. Greens yuk. I suggested a Mexican cook. There is no excuse good enough for a place this well known. This was the third and last time. Total waste of money. We've seen a lot. One of the top three worst. Got pics if needed. read more

Old country charm! Best place in the area! Patio is great in the summer and food is excellent! Love it! Great staff! Be sure to make a reservation for larger parties, holidays and weekends! read more

Stopped in for dinner, no reservations but we were early enough that it wasn't a problem. She had the Reuben which came with home-made chips. Chips were great, and the Rueben was also excellent. Nice lean corned beef on swirled rye/pumpernickel bread. I had a Lobster pot pie. It had a very light pastry puff on top of fresh vegetables. There were nice size chunks of lobster meat and claw meat. Very good. I also tried their Chocolate Martini, and found it to be one of the better ones I've tried in the area. The atmosphere was, very nice. Our server was attentive and informative with a pleasant attitude. We will go back. Will try the peaceful outdoor courtyard dining next time if weather permits. read more

This place is awesome. Been coming here for 15 yrs. sadly leaving the state and will miss everyone here mostly the food.

Have now been here five times in the last six months and this is by far my favorite restaurant in the Lehigh Valley area. The food is fantastic and very high end, on par with some of my favorite places in NYC, without the inflated prices. The lamb rack is outstanding and for liter fare you really can't beat the fish and chips. A spacious outdoor patio in the warmer months makes this a great place to sit outside and have a terrific meal. I'll be back, and often. read more

Four of us ate dinner at the Limeport Inn last night (Feb 28, 2012). It was not my first visit--I've had lunch there several times in last few years but it has been a few years since I sampled their dinner menu. The place is charming...with the feel of an old country inn. But our server was brusque and our dinners were....well.... "meh." Three of us ordered New England clam chowder which was gloppy and bland with far too much flour. We also ordered shepherd's pie which, while tasty, consisted of a 1 in. thick layer of mashed potatoes over a VERY skimpy layer of meat/veg (maybe 1/4 in. thick). Another companion ordered fish & chips. The fried fish was done nicely but instead of french fries, the "chips," were more akin to thick potato chips. Amir read more

Fantastic! I recently hosted my son's rehearsal dinner at the Limeport Inn and it was a resounding success! Since I am a stickler for detail and hate surprises, I started to plan this October happening at the end of August. We had a total of 26 people and some had dietary restrictions as vegetarians and shell fish allergies. I was very nervous about the outcome of our endeavor. Upon arrival on the evening of the rehearsal, I had a panic attack as the restraunt was packed full both inside and out. My fears were soon waylaid when our hostess accompanied my guests and I to our private room. This room was spacey enough for our party of 26, yet cozy enough to allow everyone to interact. The ambience reflected that of a charming country estate. The decor was most eloquent and gave one a peaceful and relaxed feeling. The preordered menu ( coordinated by Chef Julian and myself ) did not disappoint! The appetizer of baked bree along with spring rolls accompanied by an artichoke dip and bruschette was a tantilizing start. It was very good and very aromatic wheting our appetites for the magnificant entrees to come. There were four entrees offered. This was enough alternatives to offer chices to all of my guests with dietary restrictions. Chicken Chesapeake, Marinated Beef Medalions, Pasta Bowl ( with your choice of vegetarian or accompanied by chicken, shrimp, or crab) , and Eggplant Lasagna. A review of the guests revealed that each was exquisit in its own right. I had the Chicken Chesapeake which consisted of two very generous portions of chicken breasts smothered with lump crab meat on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes. This was covered in a light wine sauce. It was very succulent and the flavors belnded together well. It was well presented and satisfying. All in all it was a great experience! My wife insisted that I take her back again for her birthday treat so that she may again enjoy the Eggplant Lasagne. read more

Limeport Inn is our go to place when we crave a great pizza! My husband and I enjoy sitting at a table in the bar area. Although we've had other items on the menu....entrees, sandwiches, etc....which are all delicious...we just love the pizza! So many great combinations and fresh ingredients and since they offer two sizes, we can each get a small of our liking and take the rest home. I normally get a side salad (great homemade dressings) and my husband gets calamari as an app. And we can't leave without one of their amazing desserts (the chocolate, Merlot mouse is awesome) and coffee. Always great service also! Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. Beautiful outside patio atmosphere. Service was terrible. Took over an hour for food. Staff scurried around and never informed us about the extended wait or even acknowledged it. Never saw a manager helping at all. House salad was below par-- just some mixed greens in a plate. Husband had Chicken Parm-- marinara sauce was very strange tasting. Would not recommend unless you have the time to sit and wait. read more

Great little country spot that offers tasty dishes. Has bar area and separate very nicely done eating areas. Pizza and dishes all really good! read more

My uncle came over from Scotland and ordered fishnchips, came in "newspaper", said it's the best he'd had in the states. Great place.

Food is tops. Prices reasonable. Bar is great and many interesting locals. Great in summer outside. Daily specials are both interesting and delicious. read more

Limeport Inn holds a special place in my heart. I took my wife their for our first date over 6 years ago, and we make it a point to go there every year, at least once. I give them an extra star just for nostalgia. Firstly we love the ambience. Whether you sit outside during the summer, early fall or inside during winter it is charming. Inside it is an old inn with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere you would love. And outside, a pretty little garden with string lights and wrought iron furniture has a distinct european charm to it. The service there has always been spot on. The wait staff are always knowledgable and offer good suggestions. They do not rush you. The food comes at a leisurely pace and most often than not satisfies you. My only complaint is their menu.It has not changed in 5 years! And between the two of us, we have probably had every appetizer on their menu and most of their entrees. Our favorite is the 3-2-1 sampler. You will absolutely love the bacon wrapped scallops, the lobster fritter and fried brie cheese.The scallops are well cleaned, succulent and goes perfectly with the crispy, salty bacon. The lobster fritter comes on a vanilla based sauce and is quite nice. Their menu has a pub fare, pizza and a standard entree sections. Our favorite from the pub fare is the Brie grilled cheese with pork belly. Sometimes they have a burger special and is consistently good. They also have a list of gourmet pizzas, which are quite wonderful. Freshly made, nice, crispy thin crust. Fresh mozarella cheese and herbs. Good sauces. A must try if you are in the mood. If you are not in the mood for pubfood, their entrees will surely satisy you. My favorite is the rack of lamb served over a mint, pear chutney and goat cheese mash. I go for the full rack and it is sumptous. Perfectly cooked, nicely rendered fat, juicy and seasoned to perfection. My wife loves their chicken parm and seared scallops. Their grilled filet mignon is also worth trying. My earnest request to them is to keep changing their menu. I am confident their chef will continue to surprise. They are not a farm to table restaurant, but their food is always fresh and flavorful. Overall, limeport inn is a charming experience, whether you are out for a date night or a casual time with friends, they have it all. read more

I live very close to the Limeport and feel extremely lucky to have it near. It is great on 2 different levels. If you are looking for a place to have a drink with friends their bar is cool and not too big and has great selections (and excellent pub food). But, if you're looking for an excellent meal in the Lehigh Valley, especially if you are south of the 78 corridor, then there are likely few places you can find in a very large radius that will match the Limeport for quality. Excellent service and a really fine menu. And because of the layout, the restaurant and bar feel like separate entities and thus you don't feel like you're in a fancy restaurant when at the bar, but when at the restaurant it feels like fine dining and not like a pub. It's worth the trip for both states of mind. read more

Although I've lived less than 5 minutes away for many years, tonight was my first visit with a group of friends. Our waitress was friendly and served our party without issue. Food was fine but a bit overpriced, too. I also enjoyed a local craft brew. It was a cozy place and I was looking forward to returning to the outdoor patio with my friendly, furry companion but learned restaurant policy prohibits animals on the patio. Now I will have to continue to drive a little further to other restaurants to enjoy the warm season with my furry friend. read more

If you're trying to get to this restaurant, most gps will not be helpful. You need to put in coopersburg or upper saucon. After a few GPS tries, and I know the area, I called the restaurant and was put on hold 3 times . I was called back after we were already seated. Since there had been no open reservations outside we were seated in a small dining room on the opposite side of the hall from the bar and pub. Charmingly decorated and intimate. The menu was excellent, priced well and the food well prepared and offered many selections. The lobster corn fritters were perfectly done but should have just been corn fritters. Regardless they were wonderful. The 1,2,3 appetizer was excellent as well. The puta and humors did not come until after the appetizers were finished but that was just the inexperience of the lovely but clueless server. Scallops were delicious. Salmon was perfectly prepared and the potato side has the taste of fresh potato which is rarely found in a restaurant today. The seared tuna came out perfectly as well. We passed on dessert although the choices seemed inviting. Not overpriced for what you got. Definitely a go back to. The 35 minute ride was well worth it. The only minor complaint was service. read more

arrived just after 5 on a Saturday. Not busy other than a few at the bar, yet a party of 4 is totally ignored. No one was interested in sitting us. We should have taken that as a hint and left. we tried the pizza, appetizers, wraps and pot pie. the pot pie was the best of what we ordered. Service was lack luster. Expensive for the location. Will not go back. read more

I ate dinner there last night , my girlfriend had the fish and chips, I had the fried chicken, and it was really good. The service was very good, and the drinks were even better. I'll be back! read more
