    Santa brunch, smashed burger with egg
    Suzanne H.

    Great historic place. We timed coming into town the right day because it was also Breakfast with Santa. What a wonderful surprise. Our waitress was outstanding!!! She helped us with information, parking, Santa, pictures and food orders. Very wonderful lady who served us well. I enjoyed the special soup of the day pumpkin bisque and it was so good and had a little kick yummy. I also ordered off the Santa Brunch menu and had the smash burger with fries. The fries reminded me if McDonald's, shoestring and very tasty. Best experience out for brunch

    Fish & Chips

    As per usual the food is fantastic. Our server Dorothy went above and beyond to make our meal, and our daughter's first birthday, a dinner we will never forget! If you can't decide between dishes get both!

    I was researching options for a dinner party for 12 people. I had known about Red Lion Inn and never been, but after inquiring decided to book our dinner. I coordinated with Tim who was lovely. He was extremely responsive, great at communication, and very helpful to get everything coordinated. We were able to book the "living room" which was a private room adjacent to the lobby, right in front of a live piano. It was sooo charming. We paid a fee for the private room, but beyond that there was no minimums to meet. Red Lion created custom menus for us, left a curated selection of options, and created a beautiful setting for our meal. I loved the chinoiserie dinnerware. The entire setting was gorgeous, cozy, and a perfect spot for a group dinner. I really couldn't have been happier. We started with a glass of bubbly, the nest egg, the hand cut egg pasta, and ordered all the desserts. All of the food was delicious. If you're looking for a space for a private dinner, or even just to enjoy an evening out with delicious food in a cozy setting, do not hesitate to book at Red Lion. I'm already planning my next trip back to actually stay at the inn for fall foliage in October!

    Truly amazing place! So much charm and history ! Beautifully decorated for Christmas, I would love to return during the summer and enjoy this beautiful space. We only had lunch at the restaurant and shop at the gift shop but everything was perfect! The service, my tea experience, the tomato soup with leeks and my husband's legendary burger, The gift shop is highly recommended and I have to return so I can buy a tea set! A must see!

    First time here! We really enjoyed the ambience and the service! Food was really good too! A classic restaurant that is a must see.

    Mom and Dad used to frequent the Inn back in the day to celebrate their many anniversaries. Today, hubs and I decided to drop in for lunch to celebrate ours. Yes, the floors still creak and are seriously lopsided in places. There's the old eccentric feel to the historical venue. Well, the inn is 250 years old! Welcome to the 18th century. Of course, we enjoyed their clam chowder and chicken pot pie. Great place to people watch and our waitress has served many in her 20 years tenure. Red Lion is worth a stop if you are ever passing through the quaint town of Stockbridge. **Reservations are necessary ** Have a Happy New Year 2024!

    My family and myself have been coming here for 30+ years for lunch around Christmas time to see the Christmas tree and to see the gingerbread house too! I read some of the more recent negative reviews and was skeptical to say the least. The only noticeable change that was disappointing and worth noting was that the once complimentary bread basket, is now $8, so we decided to go without it. I'm happy to say that our experience was overall fantastic. We were a party of 8 and had reservations which are a MUST! We were taken care of by Leo who was personable, accommodating, knowledgeable with the menu, and so kind and patient, even with the youngest guests at the table. I started with the wedge salad which was a substantial size and delicious, a smash burger for my main course, and a scoop of coffee iced cream with an espresso martini! 2 people in my party had the clam chowder and were raving! The rest of the party had salmon, fish and chips, and the lobster roll(served warm), and everyone was happy with their meal. For dessert the warm brown sugar cake and pecan pie were delicious and accompanied by ice cream! Definitely worth stopping in for a meal but make sure to make a reservation!

    We continue to enjoy our visits to the venerable Red Lion. It's most definitely an historic inn -- 250 years old in 2023 -- and has endured over a plethora of difficult times. It's a large facility with a main house and several outposts around its "campus." We prefer staying in the main inn, preferably on the first floor where there are several large, comfty king bed rooms. The rooms are not bargain-priced, but for this area for given the inn's status, it seems fair to us. There is a main dining room, a tavern, a basement pub that offers live music, and outdoor dining under tents. Lots of choices. The main dining room we've found to be acceptable with occasional delightfully prepared dishes (they actually do an old-fashioned turkey dinner very nicely). Service is good, the tables candlelit at dinner, the experience usually a pretty good one. There's a skilled bartender who whips up some nifty drinks. But the supreme pleasure is getting one of the rocking chairs on the big front porch and watching the world go by while you sip a cool beverage. It's where we happily spent several hours on our recent stay. A few annoying moments: no coffee in the room and a gross overcharge for a copy of the daily newspaper ($4 for a $1.50 edition???). Small stuff maybe, but they stick in the memory. Really, this old hotel has a lot of charm and character and puffers visitors a lot to relish whole there here. We'll be back.

    First time dining at the Red Lion Inn. The ambiance is so charming, with lots of history. It was a beautiful day, so we decided to eat outside. The pub food was delicious. Our server was super sweet and helpful. The restaurant was packed inside and out, but the food service was quick. Would love to go back to the Lions Den for a quick bite & live entertainment.

    I drove my elderly mom there (a one hour drive), and we didn't realize we should make a reservation for a Tuesday. (DUH! It's fall foliage time!) We had a 40-minute wait, so I got a drink from the bar, and the bartender, Matt S., went out of his way to go back to the kitchen to get my mom a hot coffee. (I don't know if he is attached, but any young ladies should go check him out if he's not! He is a handsome, kind man who went above and beyond for me and my elderly mom.) Kari (hostess who I also saw bussing tables, laying out fresh tablecloths, and setting up silverware/napkins--she is amazing) got us a lovely table by a big window. Liam, our server, was excellent as well. We even observed him taking photos for people who asked (and he is skilled at it)! Our food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The lobby and other rooms are exquisitely beautiful and reminiscent of olden times. If you'd like an old-fashioned, elegant place to eat, I highly recommend The Red Lion Inn!

The conversation with various guests from countries like Belgium and Germany was wonderful. A rolling outdoor lawn was a fabulous spot for a picnic lunch.

Every bedroom features a private bathroom with the most modern appointments and plenty of hot water and soft towels. You'll also find toothbrushes, etc., in case you rushed out of your house just ahead of the SWAT team. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and the furniture is of the highest quality. Your inn-keepers are Diane and Vern, warm and friendly, ready to oblige and make your visit a wonderful memory. We have stayed there twice in the past, and this time, the weekend after Presidents' weekend, we were the only guests and had the place pretty much to ourselves, so we got to spend lots of time with Diane and Vern. Here's an example of exceptional customer service: lots of snow was predicted for Friday, when we drove up. Diane called and gave us the option of simply cancelling if we didn't want to brave the weather. Of course, the snow materialized Saturday night, so we were glad we made the trip. One other note, the guest demographic is pretty high end - folks who could otherwise stay at Blantyre etc., but who want a more intimate experience. In our prior stays, the other guests were friendly and ready to engage in interesting discussion around the breakfast table. We'll be back next fall!
