“Fun atmosphere & great food! We stopped in for lunch and was greeted by the sweetest team of waitresses and staff. We have some Gluten restrictions and our waitress and a member of the kitchen were so helpful with what we could eat on the menu. We also have a special needs child that was very indecisive and our waitress, Rileigh was so patient with letting him have more time to look over the menu. We had a great experience.. Thank you DAT'S.“

“Their restaurant is good and Store has most of what you might need ; however have stopped hy several times just before closing and they are closed . If they are going to close at 750/755 instead of 8, why not list that as the hours ?“

“What is not to love at Betty's Luncheon. the homey atmosphere like your family member is making you something delicious to eat.

“Celebrated Fathers Day … Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was fabulous, spoilt for choice. Drinks menu was very good. We will certainly return.. Thank you again for making Fathers Day special..“

“My in-laws Jeannette and John Smoll used to go there at least monthly back in the early 90’s. They got to know the owners and became good friends, so much so that my wife and I were married at Christ Luthern Church a few doors away just so we could all walk over to the Springtown Inn afterwards for our reception dinner. The food and atmosphere were just perfect. We completely forgot to get a cake so they baked one right on the spot. There’s much more to the story, but they made our wedding day a most cherished memory. In fact, today is our 34th wedding anniversary, July 27, 1991. We don’t live in the area so I was very happy to see that you are still in business after all these years. I hope we can get back there one day!“

“Pulled pork sandwich was excellent and we enjoyed the loaded cheese fries. Very friendly and attentive waitress. I would definitely recommend and will return soon. Really wanted to try their ice cream sundae 🍨 offerings but was too full!“

“I held a dine and donate here on Thursday December 5th. Kirsten was very helpful with helping me set it up and very pleasant to work with. Our server, Josh was attentive and polite. He was always checking on us making sure our drinks were always full and clearing plates when we finished our apps and food. Joth, the manager, checked in on us several times throughout our meal making sure everything was to our liking. I’d definitely recommend this establishment. We had a great experience all around!“

“I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of this place, but I can tell you it's pretty good regardless. I came here with two of my OG chums this past Saturday for an early dinner (a little before 5 I think), on a deceptively nippy night. We made a very last-minute reservation (as in we were down the street walking over when we did it) but were easily able to secure seating. The restaurant was pretty bustling throughout our meal so if you have the ability to make a reservation more than two minutes beforehand, I would do it. This is a popular one right now.

I've driven by this building countless times but I think this is the first time I've been inside it (it's relatively new so it's possible I was in whatever business was here before years ago). It has a pleasant interior; kind of rustic but also some obvious homages to France on the walls, etc. - what else would you expect in a town literally called Frenchtown?

We split the brie en croute app, which I liked a lot. My only quibble is that I would have made the berry coulis denser to compete with the brie a bit better, but overall it was a refreshing way to start the meal. I didn't build up quite the appetite I was hoping for from metal detecting in the afternoon (which is one of the many negative consequences of a drought), so I went a little lighter than usual on the entree with the almond-crusted cod. It was tasty but presentation-wise? Eh. It's not really a fish you can "crust," if that makes sense, so the optics are a bit chaotic. It's more like a pile on your plate, which you can see in the attached photo. I did like the fact that the lemon sauce was on the subtle side - the citrus family is not one of my faves and it's often an accompaniment with seafood dishes, so I was pleased it wasn't the dominant flavor. Super flaky and loved the texture of the rice.

The service was excellent. Not only did we not have to wait particularly long for our items to arrive, but our waiter was very friendly and nice. I was accidentally under-dressed for the weather so I ordered a hot chamomile tea (very rare for me), and one of my chums also asked the waiter to pick a tea for her. I have a chum who used to work in the service industry who told me to never order hot tea from a restaurant because it's incredibly annoying for them to prep, but my argument would be that if it's on the menu, all bets are off. Regardless, I think in this day and age it's relatively easy to make - we watched the guy literally just use a hot water dispenser and put the tea bag in. Was definitely the right choice on this particular evening. Anyway. He was also knowledgeable about the menu and had specific opinions about certain dishes; one of my friends ordered the salmon entree and he immediately commented that it was his favorite.

We're always interested as born and bred creatures of the Kingdom of Hunterdon what the overall clientele in a restaurant looks like. In a tourist trap like Frenchtown, it's not unusual to go into an eatery that's full of out-of-towners squealing about the Delaware River or something. This was a very nice mix of both tourists and locals, which can definitely be a difficult balancing act. Given the bougie options on the menu, I thought this was priced competitively to allow for some of the nearby residents who might not be sporting boat shoes and polo shirts to wander in to sample the wares as well.

Wasn't blown away but overall this was very solid.“

“I always bring my friends and family to State Cafe! They have the best pancakes and the menu has something for everyone.“

“Highly recommend! Great menu options and reasonable prices.“

“It's Applebee's. The food is ok, presents well, but is chain food. it hit the spot for me and the kids after Dorney Park. Kyra, our server, was very nice. The apps took longer to come out than it should. Overall, you will be fine as long as u don't have high expectations. It checks the value hunger box well. For 4: $135“

“Good food. Great service.“

“My family and I ate here for Father’s Day, it was a GREAT experience. Our waitress Rochelle was a true professional. She was amazingly polite, knowledgeable, and attentive. Drinks were refilled without having to ask, she made sure to check in regularly for any needs and wants. Top notch service.“

“I’ve never had anything but an incredible breakfast here! Wonderful people, too!“

“Great food, great service, great people!“

“We come from New York City just for a jakey and a crab sandwich. My dad told us to stop and try the food. I was hesitating eating in a gestation. Omg this is far beyond that! It was amazing. I have cravings for their food. Anyone we know that will be passing it on their travels we urge to stop there. It’s our favorite little place. The staff is also really friendly. I like that I can see the kitchen also. Awesome spot!“

“Seems like it could be a fun spot. Had a personal pizza, pretty good!
Got there just as the music stopped..6 pm?
There was a dude doing one handed wheelies on his Harley......pretty impressive (but the owner/bartender didn't like it for obvious reasons).“

“Excellent food, excellent atmosphere! This place takes the ordinary tavern to the next level with their creative food and drink menu. It was my first visit but not my last, definitely check it out!“

“Today I stopped into your establishment to grab a early dinner. I was immediately greeted by your server, I believe her name was Crystal. I was surprised that at 3 pm your establishment was pretty busy. What I was even more surprised at that it appeared that she was the only one serving. For as busy as it was I was astonished at the hustle my server exhibited. Mind you with a smile at all times. It was quite remarkable. As a professional in the service industry, I can honestly say that you truly are blessed with a diamond employee. My meal was exactly what I wanted. I will highly recommend.“

“Ate breakfast there twice during Musikfest. Tremendous food and tremendous service both visits. Will definitely be back next time I am in Bethlehem.“

“I recommend anything on the menu but the Chicken gyros are really good. Gotta have a famous hot dog….just because. Enjoy your food sitting riverside.“

“Love this local restaurant! We started with the Marble Hill Saison and Smoking Gun. The Patty Melt with fried Brussels sprouts and Bacon Cheddar burger with Belgian fries were a hit. We definitely need to visit Two Rivers Brewing more often.“
