The Brick Tavern Inn

Food need to come out hot and wait service very slow, not attentive.

We absolutely love our visits to the Brick Tavern Inn in Quakertown, PA! This place is a true gem, from the moment you step inside, you can feel the warmth and character of a building that’s been standing since the 1800s. The historic charm blends beautifully with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The staff couldn’t be more friendly, attentive, kind, and genuinely happy to make your experience special. The food? Always fantastic. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or feeling adventurous, everything is made with care and full of flavor. And the prices are refreshingly reasonable, especially considering the quality and experience you get. The secret’s out and this place fills up fast, so do yourself a favor and make a reservation. The Brick Tavern Inn is everything you’d want in a local favorite: great food, great people, and a setting that feels like home. Can’t wait to go back!

The Brick Tavern Inn: A Warm Refuge in the December Chill

The Brick Tavern Inn, nestled inside a 200-year-old building, feels like stepping into the pages of a well-worn storybook. We stumbled upon it after a late December morning braving what I can only describe as Arctic gales. The warmth of the crackling fireplace and the promise of good food and drink was like finding an oasis in a wintry desert.

From the start, the service set the tone—attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly cheerful. We began our meal with two holiday-themed cocktails: an Apple Maple Old Fashioned and a festive margarita. The Old Fashioned was nothing short of a warm apple pie in a glass, the kind of drink that makes you feel like you’re being wrapped in a plaid blanket by a kindly innkeeper. Paired with my bay shrimp cocktail, it set the bar high for what was to follow.

For the main course, I opted for the duck, served with a mushroom bisque, potatoes, asparagus, and a well-balanced sauce. The bisque was warm and light, an ideal prelude to the duck, which was executed flawlessly. The fat was perfectly rendered, leaving the meat tender enough to practically melt in my mouth—so delicate it made my knife feel unnecessary. Every element worked harmoniously, the kind of dish that reminds you why some classics never go out of style.

Now, let me address the one sour note in an otherwise symphonic experience: we were seated near a group of boisterous, middle-aged women who seemed to think the only way to converse was through a series of bobsled-inspired shouts. Perhaps they were still acclimating to being indoors after their own treks through the tundra. The cacophony felt like it was designed to test the structural integrity of my eardrums, but thankfully, they left after the first 20 minutes. My wife, always the prepared one, brought her trusty Loops earplugs—clearly a veteran of dining room skirmishes.

Despite this brief auditory assault, the meal and ambiance more than made up for it. After an afternoon spent trudging through the icy wilderness on a perilous quest for Sarah J. Maas books (my wife’s mission, not mine), this tavern provided exactly what I needed: warmth, comfort, and a satisfying meal.

The Brick Tavern Inn is more than just a warm eatery—it’s a haven for weary adventurers looking to thaw their bones and indulge in expertly crafted dishes. I’ll certainly be back, though I may pack earplugs just in case.

Beautiful restaurant and great food. Good portions but priced a little on the high end. Around $25-$50 a meal. I still enjoyed it very much!

Recently (December 2024)the food quality has gone down. It is different, almost tastes like they are reducing costs and buying cheaper product.
The inside is little old and less than appealing but the patio is awesome atmosphere and the food is very good

The menu options were excellent. I had mushroom soup and ahi tuna for the appetizer, and I loved them. My husband ordered the duck as an entree but wished it had been cooked a little longer.

One of our favorite restaurants--great friendly service, ample portions, and a pleasant ambiance. There is plenty of indoor dining in their distinctive, historic building and, in warmer seasons, they supplement that with outdoor dining on their spacious patio. There are many great dishes to choose from. More recently, we have enjoyed the mushroom bisque soup, Bethlehem Pike salad, blackened chicken sandwich, and chicken parmesan entrée.

We stopped by for dinner on our way to Jim Thorpe, and are so glad we did! My husband loved the broccoli and mushroom pasta with mushroom bisque, while I savored the fruity/nutty salad with a deliciously divine crab cake. The peanut butter pie was a perfect end to our evening meal. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. The other diners at the bar (table seating was full) were really friendly as well.
