Awesome place for food, drinks, and music! The owner Missy is super friendly and extremely accommodating. The chef always has specials and are a great change from typical menu items at most places. The daily menu is diverse and everything I've had to date has been great. We love this place!

We stopped here after our visit to March farm in Bethlehem where we picked up pumpkins and the best apple cider doughnuts. We stopped in at the Painted Pony around 3 in the afternoon . The place was empty which is a shame since it’s a good place . Everything was spotless and the service was good . My wife had the chicken avocado sandwich and a side salad , I had the flatbread topped with Asiago cheese, short rib and tomatoes. Both were presented well and tasty, nothing mind...
