Amazing environment. Exquisite service. We had the Ahi Tuna Tartare and the Margherita Flatbread to share and some delicious cocktails. Looking forward to going back for dinner!

Eating here is a treat for us. The food is very delicious. We had the Filet Mignon Duo, Crispy Calamari, and Oreo Peanut Butter Pie for dinner. The section in which we ate had the ambiance of a sports bar rather than the ambiance of an inn of the original building. The seasonal sorbet capped off a wonderful meal.

Blue Bell Inn never fails to impress! The ambiance is the epitome of class. The food is AMAZING and always prepared to perfection! The filet duo is an absolute go-to for happy hour. The bar staff are such a pleasure and genuinely seem to enjoy their craft (pro-tip: DJ makes the best blueberry lemondrop martinis around!)... Keep doing what you're doing, BBI!

I really enjoyed my dinner. The food is delicious and unique. Everything was well prepared and presented. The Chilean Sea Bass is the best I've ever had. The Oreo Peanut Butter Pie is really amazing. The staff is very informed in guiding you through all the menu choices. I love it ❤️

Delicious food and drinks (especially the drinks). Our waitress was awesome, I had some specific questions about my sandwich and she had them answered clearly and was very helpful in making sure I made the right decision, even checked on it after. I think the chef actually chopped up my chicken smaller (I was concerned about how thick the chicken would be because I have a mild meat aversion). It was perfect and exactly what they told me it would be, actually better than!A little fancy for me personally but I didn’t feel uncomfortable in just a t shirt and shorts amongst many well dressed people!

Great lunchtime experience with gluten-free options. We sat in the "bar" area by the Open screened in windows getting a wonderful breeze from the outdoors patio area. We had soup, Sandwiches and salad. All prepared wonderfully and hit the spot. Professional staff and attentive to our need, but not too much. Definitely going back for another outing.

We have had several excellent experiences at the BBI in the recent year and decided to take our neighbors for a long over due Thank You. They treat us often to many things and it was time for us to "pay it back". Well thankfully the evening was about enjoying our neighbors and not the less than stellar experience at the Inn. My Wasabi encrusted Tuna was flavorless and could have just been labeled Ahi tuna on a bed of vegetables, why bother enticing me with Wasabi. The non delivered Cheeseteak Dumplings..well, can't tell you about those...they were not delivered. The other meals according, to my friends, were fair to excellent. (Salmon was excellent). But on a whole the expense of the meal was not worth the experience of "Fine Dining". Sorry BBI We love some of the folks that work there but tonight was such an off night we will look elsewhere in the future...
Delicious raw clams and oysters. The shrimp ravioli wasn't the best but loved the scallops.

The Blue Bell Inn, nestled in the heart of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is a historic landmark that has been serving the community since 1743. Originally known as “The White House,” it provided lodging for hunters and travelers. The inn gained prominence during the American Revolutionary War when George Washington and his troops retreated to the area, with Washington often staying at the inn. In 1796, a tower was added to house a distinctive blue bell, leading to the renaming of both the inn and the town from “Pigeontown” to Blue Bell. Over the centuries, the Blue Bell Inn has changed hands several times, but it has always remained a central gathering place for the community. In 2013, it was purchased by Bruce Goodman, Scott Dougherty, and Kevin Clib, who transformed it into the modern American restaurant known and loved today.

Another mediocre suburban restaurant. Chicken panini with no cheese. Of the party of 6 for brunch, everyone was underwhelmed.
