My sons took me to Wards Bridge inn Montgomery NYfor a pre- Father's Day meal. Had the Black Angus steak. I should've sent it back.the worst I've ever eaten in my life , tough chewy, and full of weird fat )absolute hog slop. don't go there for steak! I did mention to the waitress that I was very unhappy with the steak, and my comment was completely shrugged off. The service was fine and we did compensate the waitress with a 20% tip even though my steak was a disaster. read more

ATTN: Mac and Cheese lovers DO NOT skip this place. The Mac and cheese was phenomenal - the pull on that cheese was record long. I added the filet tips and it easily made it to my top 5 macs of all time. Our waitress, Toni, was great! She was informative on the menu offerings and very attentive. The interior is cute too!

Went here for dinner for a friends birthday. We had a reservation for 12 people. The parking lot is a nightmare. There's not a lot of it and people were circling around nonstop looking. We ended up having to park a street down on the road. Upon going in, it is a little confusing as where to go so we kinda stood there, 4 of us, behind another group before realizing they weren't in any type of line or anything. Once finding a host though we were brought to our table which was already set up. Food service here is VERY SLOW. Dinner took over 2 hours. They didn't even take our entree orders until after we had been finished with our appetizers. At that point we were all very shocked we hadn't ordered yet. It had been so much time we didn't even remember we still had to order. I got the Fly me to the moon martini which was delicious. Very strong and tasted of artificial watermelon which I loved. My friend got the mango margarita which was on the specials menu and was very delicious. After dinner I did get an alcoholic specialty coffee, it was the WIB or something like that. Although it was good it could've used some more sweet. My fiance and I split the steak eggrolls for our appreciate and they were AMAZING. I'm sad they're on the specials menu because I wouldn't come back just for them so I don't want them going anywhere! He got the filet mignon and shrimp noodle bowl which looked amazing. Was feeling sad I'm allergic to shellfish because I wanted a bite! I got the chicken valdostona which I was hesitant to order because it didn't specify what it came with and I was worried I was going to get just one piece of chicken in sauce for $30. Big was I pleasantly surprised to receive a huge plate of 3 chicken breast and a small plate with veggies and mashed potatoes. Everything was very good and the chicken was cooked perfectly. For dessert I got the pots de crème and it wasn't very good. Just tasted like overpriced bland pudding. My fiance got the salted caramel and pretzel cookie which came with a scoop of icecream and was delicious. At the end they were unable to split the bill by items so we had to figure out the amounts to put on each card ourselves. To make it easier on the staff we were splitting it into 4 groups at the table as we didn't all know eachother. The staff was very kind. I would definitely come back here but it is very expensive so it would be a planned special event type place. read more

This place has great atmosphere, but the acoustics could stand improvement. It's very loud inside. Those metal tile ceilings may be super cute, but they make the sounds too loud inside. Expensive menu, but worth every penny. I ordered only appetizers. The shrimp cocktail came with a cocktail sauce and a creamy horseradish sauce. The creamy horseradish sauce is super mild, and it tastes even better with the shrimp than the standard cocktail sauce. The French Onion Soup is off-the-hook delicious! It's made correctly with sherry. Since you can taste the sherry, it's not recommended for folks in recovery. Friendly staff, great food. I'll definitely return someday. read more

This restaurant has a tavern in the front portion of the building, this is deceptive, if you have never been here you think its only a tavern. Then the waitress greets you and takes you to the rear of the building. The restaurant is tucked away in the rear of the building. There are two stories to this restaurant. There is ample seating for dining patrons. Its nice how the tavern and restaurant are separated, one doesn't encroach on the other. The feel here is warm and inviting. The cuisine is American. It looks like it can handle a large volume of people at any given time. I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. I went with two entrees, Macaroni and cheese with lobster. I also had the Maryland Style Crabcakes with lemon buerre blanc sauce. The crabcakes were really, really good! My coworker had the Filet Mignon. He gave it two thumbs up! I will definitely dine here again next time I'm in town! read more

Another trip to Wards Bridge Inn after a long hiatus. I am happy to report they are still one of the best restaurants in the area. My wife and I had the filet and it was excellent. Service was on par with a 5 star in NYC. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu One of the facts I didn't realize about WBI is the exceptional wine list. There is something for everyone and the best of the list is very reasonably priced Highly suggest making reservations, even for a party of 2. Avoid parking in the lot during busy season, it's a bit tight especially for larger vehicles. I suggest parking on the street or the next block has a free parking lot. It's a short walk through town if your able to walk Lunch or dinner this is a go to place in the Village of Montgomery NY read more

From the Business

History

Established in 2005.

Ward's Bridge Inn, often referred to as "Montgomery's living room", serves as a local favorite for diners across the Hudson Valley, and has been voted the #1 best restaurant in Montgomery by the Times Herald Record Readers' Choice Awards several years in a row. It is also ranked #1 out of 26 restaurants in Montgomery by Trip Advisor (as of 3.17.20). The Pskowski family bought the business, CB Driscoll's, in a building that dates back to 1810. The building needed extensive renovation, but eventually the Pskowski family brought it back to its earlier glory. They immediately reverted it back to the establishment's previous name, Ward's Bridge Inn, which once had a reputation as a grand establishment. Today, diners can feast from a quality lunch or dinner menu while enjoying the restaurant's charm and cozy ambiance.
