This is one of the places my late father loved to come so we've been here quite a few times over the years and I always remember having a solid decent prime rib dinner. With a new chef I was thinking things would even get better but we had a pretty mixed experience tonight and it kind of felt as if they were losing focus or energy. Lots of little things were off: table so tilted that soup almost came out of the bowl. We literally shimmed the bowl with sugar packets. I was told the veal piccata came with pasta, I told her I didn't want a starch at all, leave it off the plate, she said it comes with it, you can just eat around it. ?! And then it came with mashed potatoes after all that, swimming in a pool of sauce that almost ended up on my lap as I was being served except that I caught the plate before that happened. My friend's prime rib was 1/3 inedible gristle and her baked potato was so overcooked it was rock hard. Almost every item on the wine list on the table was misspelled. Everyone was nice and all, and the eclair cake was rocking, but on the whole it was a spotty experience.

Great food, great service in a historic building! We went for the Salt of the Sea Sunday's. A 4 course meal for $17.95!! Food was excellent quality! Snow crab legs were sweet and tender. Even the salad dressing was better than I've had. Strawberry shortcake for dessert-yum!!

One star is generous for this place. We arrived at 5:00 for dinner the bar was empty we requested a booth in the bar and were told they were all reserved. We sat in the dining room several things on the menu were not available. We ordered onion soup it was very salty, and a hot crab dip that was watery, like it had been frozen then microwaved. We ordered a steam pot which was s house speciality, it was horrible, and the prime rib which was chewy and not edible. We passed on dessert and left. Oh and the bar was still empty when we left.

Went Thursday night for the cheesesteaks. Been wanting to go for quite a while. From what I understand they have changed chefs. Had a beef veggie soup which was very good and nice and warm. Ordered the steaks and when they came was bowled over thy the size. If they would only taste as good as they looks I will be in business. Well they did. Not you everyday steaks. No chip steak and American cheese here nice roll with a flavorful cheese sauce and nice chunks of steak. Add onions and mushrooms and what a meal. Wife and I split one and took one home. I recommend the sandwiches and they will be a meal in itself.

Krista was amazing!! She had a smile on her face and was very pleasant all evening. We did not have a reservation, so we took that into consideration with serving times...it was pretty slow. There were 6 of us for dinner and all of the meals were very good. I will definitely come back when I am in town. I loved the ambiance, although it did get kind of loud in our corner...ok, we may have contributed to the noise!! All in all it was a great experience. Give them a try!!

I'm so glad I didn't read the reviews before we came here. My boyfriend's family hadn't been here in years, so they weren't sure if it would still be as good as they remembered. It was better! Three of us went for an early dinner on a Sunday and each ordered the princess cut of prime rib. It was the best prime rib I have ever had. Our sides were delicious. The peanut butter pie was good, very good. Made with cream cheese which was a little disappointing to us, because we thought it would be more like a mousse. The place wasn't busy at all. The waitress was friendly and our food came out quick. No complaints at all about this place. Wish is was a little closer to us because of how much we liked it.

Just plain bad bad bad. Bad service bad food ran out of alcohol so can't comment on cocktail. Keep your $100 bucks and drive right on by. Oh another thing decor is rustic dusty and not welcoming. Seen better days.

Awful. Overpriced. Unable to produce most of the items on their own menu. We stopped for Sunday dinner around five thirty and were informed that because it was cold, they had no soup. Alright, it was a busy day, I can excuse that. We ordered appetizers. They were out of baked Brie, so we ordered smoked trout and wild mushroom tarts. The smoked trout was straight out of the cyrovac and the mushrooms were neither wild nor in tart form. White mushrooms in a red wine sauce with an undercooked roux dumped over puff pastry shells. We didn't fare much better with our entrees. I had ordered the short ribs which were twenty-eight dollars. Price rarely matters to me, but for what came out, I felt a little gipped. A huge pile of cold, lumpy mashed potatoes topped with candied carrots and gravy. Oh, and two small pieces of beef. The "Bolognese" was greasy hamburger on wet fettuccine. Overall, it was inedible.

We went to Springtown Inn tonight mainly because I was hungry for lobster tail. We had been to Springtown many times before for prime rib and we're always happy. We like the charm of this country inn and the prime rib was always wonderful. Tonight we encountered a number of issues...The waitress disappeared for long periods even though we were one of only TWO tables in the entire dining room, Your meal comes with a choice of soup or salad. I opted for the French Onion Soup in addition to a salad with my meal expecting to be charged an a la carte fee for the soup; my husband ordered an appetizer and questioned what his soup choices were. She said the house soup is Ham and Bean, the soup du jour is New England Clam. He chose the New England Clam. My soup was pretty good...his was overly salted with obvious canned minced clams and miniscule potatoes. But we were treating ourselves tonight and were actually okay with it. Meals came out barely warm, and my mashed potatoes were cold. The waitress came back with fresh potatoes when I mentioned it. We were still okay with everything. Then the check came (total was $107.00 food only - no cocktails) and I noticed an error. Not only was I charged a $7.00 chg for my soup, but my husband was as well. I took the check and waited in the hallway for our waitress to come out of the kitchen ( I didn't want to embarrass her in front of the other table). I waited and waited. Went back to the table and waited until I heard the kitchen door open and walked back to the hall to talk to her. She said there was no mistake. My husband ordered the soup du jour which is on the menu for $7.00. Since when is soup du jour an upcharge when soup is included with your meal? I said you need to point that out...that was misleading...She said no, I said it was the soup du jour and the price is on the menu, and now, I'm getting attitude. I can tell you there is NO WAY we would have paid $7.00 for that soup AND soup or salad is supposed to be included with your entree. Why was he not offered a salad if he would be paying for his soup? Its not the money...its the principal. We were willing to pay top dollar for food that was just okay...but that $7.00 thing...well lets just say she lost a good portion of her tip (about $7.00) and they lost two very good customers.

Total disappointment. I have lived in the area for about 5 years and have heard good reviews about this place... even driving by it occasionally it looked like it was always crowded and a cute place to dine in. Boy was I wrong. I decided to take my mom there for mother's day lunch and that was a huge mistake. Before going I looked on their website at their menu and they had a lot of different selections, reasonably priced. When I called to make reservations the hostess told me in advance that they will only be serving from their dinner menu. I said that was fine, what are the selections? She told me she wasn't sure and wouldn't know until that day. Ok, fair enough. So we arrive there, and from the outside it's very cute and rustic, nicely built and decorated. When you walk inside at first glance it looks like an old church with stained glass windows and thick wood fixtures, pretty cozy. But if you really look at it it's dusty, and totally uneven.. and very outdated. The hostess sat us in the dining room on the right which was already loud packed with people. That was fine, considering it was mothers day. However, there was a completely open dining room on the left. When we looked at the menu I was in for a shock. They were offereing about 5 appetizers starting @ 15$ a piece and each entree over $25 each! 4 entrees were fish and two were meat. We had asked our servers a few questions about some of the entrees and she had absolutely no idea what to say... not even educated about what they were serving. My mother and sister ordered the scallops and I ordered the crab cakes. They each came with a measely side salad of about 5 pieces of lettuce and some chopped carrots. My crabcakes were SO fishy I couldn't even eat them, and my mom and sisters scallops were way over cooked. Still being hungry we decided to order coffee and dessert, another mistake. The waitress brought out coffee which was not even luke warm and tasted like it was made from the night before. We were so over this place that we told her not to bring out the cake and just the check. So after $115 for 3 people, I left still hungry and unsatisfied. Maybe it was just that it was a high-volume day that the food and service was bad, but I would not reccomend this place to anyone.

My best friend and I went there for dinner. I was pretty excited as I had not been there for nine years and had great memories of the food. Boy was I was disappointed. I went there specifically for the prime rib, which we both had. About forty percent was grizzle and not edible. I was very specific about how I wanted it to be done, and it was over cooked. The salad was good, and the service was really very pleasant. While some may say the decor is quaint, it just looks dated, and the chairs and table wobbled. A sure sign of not replacing it. It kills me to write this, but not only would I not go back, I have told my friends to avoid it. I hope they get their act together and go back to the good food they used to serve.

I have dined at the Springtown Inn a number of times over the past 20 or so years. The appetizers are good, salads are good, everything is good. My favorite is the duck. Never dry and always crisp and perfectly done. I really have a struggle not ordering it every time I go there. If you are a fan of prime rib, this is the place for you. I have a pretty good appetite and the petite cut is enough to satisfy me. I ordered the queen cut once and had enough left over to make 2 more meals at home. Then there is the king cut. I've seen people order it and it is enormous. If it was any bigger, they would have to deliver it to your table with a fork lift. All kidding aside, I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with a meal. It's a place where I take friends and family. They also can do parties in the parlors up on the 2nd floor. Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Our party of four had dinner on the deck last night. Our first time here, the place is adorable...wide plank flooring, stone fireplaces and wood beams, very rustic. We chose the casual deck because it was beautiful out and the dining room's menu is quite pricey...we wanted to try out the place before spending $25 plus on entrees. It was Cheesesteak Night..wow! Sounds good, right? After very,very slow service (it was about an hour before we received food)...a bit of a sour attitude, but evidently the waitress was also the bartender..... we were served very large "cheesesteaks with french fries and coleslaw. They came with onions and mushrooms, so we said sure...we'll get both.... Big Mistake. These were as far away from "cheesesteak" as you can be...it was as if someone took an off-brand condensed mushroom soup, and mixed it in with the beef...we could neither taste, nor see, any cheese...the only thing on your taste buds was mushroom soupiness....Ugh. The fries were average, the coleslaw OK..our guest's dinner seemed OK...a salad, and a grilled chicken sandwich. Our guest ordered dessert...a very LARGE piece of chocolate peanut butter pie...it was 8 part peanut butter, 2 part chocolate...very, very mediocre and disappointing. We wanted to love this place, we tried...but we would only ever go back for a beer or wine, maybe a salad, and only if there was no other alternative.

Recently went to the spring town inn with my family. Appetizers were good, I had stuffed mushrooms and family had French onion soup. Entrees were pretty bad all around. I had duck. Advertised as half a duck roasted with fruit reduction. What I got was all leg meat in barbecue sauce. Someone's review mentioned nice crispy skin....not tonight, which I thought was like standard duck-cookin' knowledge. I wound up just pulling off the skin because I couldn't cut through it with a knife. Mom and brother both had chicken parm, which they said tasted kind of like a microwaved chicken nugget with no sauce, but chopped tomatoes. Dad had chicken Marsala, and said it was about the same only with mushrooms. He said the baked potato with it had more flavor than the meat. Dessert redeemed them again alittle (eclair pie)but we won't be back. Might have been an off night, but it was a REALLY off night. One star for the sweet lady who was our waitress and for the really good sweet potato mash that came with the duck.

Awful. Overpriced. Unable to produce most of the items on their own menu. We stopped for Sunday dinner around five thirty and were informed that because it was cold, they had no soup. Alright, it was a busy day, I can excuse that. We ordered appetizers. They were out of baked Brie, so we ordered smoked trout and wild mushroom tarts. The smoked trout was straight out of the cyrovac and the mushrooms were neither wild nor in tart form. White mushrooms in a red wine sauce with an undercooked roux dumped over puff pastry shells. We didn't fare much better with our entrees. I had ordered the short ribs which were twenty-eight dollars. Price rarely matters to me, but for what came out, I felt a little gipped. A huge pile of cold, lumpy mashed potatoes topped with candied carrots and gravy. Oh, and two small pieces of beef. The "Bolognese" was greasy hamburger on wet fettuccine. Overall, it was inedible.

Tonight we encountered a number of issues...The waitress disappeared for long periods even though we were one of only TWO tables in the entire dining room, Your meal comes with a choice of soup or salad. I opted for the French Onion Soup in addition to a salad with my meal expecting to be charged an a la carte fee for the soup; my husband ordered an appetizer and questioned what his soup choices were. She said the house soup is Ham and Bean, the soup du jour is New England Clam. He chose the New England Clam. My soup was pretty good...his was overly salted with obvious canned minced clams and miniscule potatoes. But we were treating ourselves tonight and were actually okay with it. Meals came out barely warm, and my mashed potatoes were cold. The waitress came back with fresh potatoes when I mentioned it. We were still okay with everything. Then the check came (total was $107.00 food only - no cocktails) and I noticed an error. Not only was I charged a $7.00 chg for my soup, but my husband was as well. I took the check and waited in the hallway for our waitress to come out of the kitchen ( I didn't want to embarrass her in front of the other table). I waited and waited. Went back to the table and waited until I heard the kitchen door open and walked back to the hall to talk to her. She said there was no mistake. My husband ordered the soup du jour which is on the menu for $7.00. Since when is soup du jour an upcharge when soup is included with your meal? I said you need to point that out...that was misleading...She said no, I said it was the soup du jour and the price is on the menu, and now, I'm getting attitude. I can tell you there is NO WAY we would have paid $7.00 for that soup AND soup or salad is supposed to be included with your entree. Why was he not offered a salad if he would be paying for his soup? Its not the money...its the principal. We were willing to pay top dollar for food that was just okay...but that $7.00 thing...well lets just say she lost a good portion of her tip (about $7.00) and they lost two very good customers.

Total disappointment. I have lived in the area for about 5 years and have heard good reviews about this place... even driving by it occasionally it looked like it was always crowded and a cute place to dine in. Boy was I wrong. I decided to take my mom there for mother's day lunch and that was a huge mistake. Before going I looked on their website at their menu and they had a lot of different selections, reasonably priced. When I called to make reservations the hostess told me in advance that they will only be serving from their dinner menu. I said that was fine, what are the selections? She told me she wasn't sure and wouldn't know until that day. Ok, fair enough. So we arrive there, and from the outside it's very cute and rustic, nicely built and decorated. When you walk inside at first glance it looks like an old church with stained glass windows and thick wood fixtures, pretty cozy. But if you really look at it it's dusty, and totally uneven.. and very outdated. The hostess sat us in the dining room on the right which was already loud packed with people. That was fine, considering it was mothers day. However, there was a completely open dining room on the left. When we looked at the menu I was in for a shock. They were offereing about 5 appetizers starting @ 15$ a piece and each entree over $25 each! 4 entrees were fish and two were meat. We had asked our servers a few questions about some of the entrees and she had absolutely no idea what to say... not even educated about what they were serving. My mother and sister ordered the scallops and I ordered the crab cakes. They each came with a measely side salad of about 5 pieces of lettuce and some chopped carrots. My crabcakes were SO fishy I couldn't even eat them, and my mom and sisters scallops were way over cooked. Still being hungry we decided to order coffee and dessert, another mistake. The waitress brought out coffee which was not even luke warm and tasted like it was made from the night before. We were so over this place that we told her not to bring out the cake and just the check. So after $115 for 3 people, I left still hungry and unsatisfied. Maybe it was just that it was a high-volume day that the food and service was bad, but I would not reccomend this place to anyone.

My best friend and I went there for dinner. I was pretty excited as I had not been there for nine years and had great memories of the food. Boy was I was disappointed. I went there specifically for the prime rib, which we both had. About forty percent was grizzle and not edible. I was very specific about how I wanted it to be done, and it was over cooked. The salad was good, and the service was really very pleasant. While some may say the decor is quaint, it just looks dated, and the chairs and table wobbled. A sure sign of not replacing it. It kills me to write this, but not only would I not go back, I have told my friends to avoid it. I hope they get their act together and go back to the good food they used to serve.

I have dined at the Springtown Inn a number of times over the past 20 or so years. The appetizers are good, salads are good, everything is good. My favorite is the duck. Never dry and always crisp and perfectly done. I really have a struggle not ordering it every time I go there. If you are a fan of prime rib, this is the place for you. I have a pretty good appetite and the petite cut is enough to satisfy me. I ordered the queen cut once and had enough left over to make 2 more meals at home. Then there is the king cut. I've seen people order it and it is enormous. If it was any bigger, they would have to deliver it to your table with a fork lift. All kidding aside, I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with a meal. It's a place where I take friends and family. They also can do parties in the parlors up on the 2nd floor. Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Our party of four had dinner on the deck last night. Our first time here, the place is adorable...wide plank flooring, stone fireplaces and wood beams, very rustic. We chose the casual deck because it was beautiful out and the dining room's menu is quite pricey...we wanted to try out the place before spending $25 plus on entrees. It was Cheesesteak Night..wow! Sounds good, right? After very,very slow service (it was about an hour before we received food)...a bit of a sour attitude, but evidently the waitress was also the bartender..... we were served very large "cheesesteaks with french fries and coleslaw. They came with onions and mushrooms, so we said sure...we'll get both.... Big Mistake. These were as far away from "cheesesteak" as you can be...it was as if someone took an off-brand condensed mushroom soup, and mixed it in with the beef...we could neither taste, nor see, any cheese...the only thing on your taste buds was mushroom soupiness....Ugh. The fries were average, the coleslaw OK..our guest's dinner seemed OK...a salad, and a grilled chicken sandwich. Our guest ordered dessert...a very LARGE piece of chocolate peanut butter pie...it was 8 part peanut butter, 2 part chocolate...very, very mediocre and disappointing. We wanted to love this place, we tried...but we would only ever go back for a beer or wine, maybe a salad, and only if there was no other alternative.

Great food, great decor and charming location in the rolling hills of upper bucks. Nice when you're looking for a trip somewhere off the beaten path.

Recently went to the spring town inn with my family. Appetizers were good, I had stuffed mushrooms and family had French onion soup. Entrees were pretty bad all around. I had duck. Advertised as half a duck roasted with fruit reduction. What I got was all leg meat in barbecue sauce. Someone's review mentioned nice crispy skin....not tonight, which I thought was like standard duck-cookin' knowledge. I wound up just pulling off the skin because I couldn't cut through it with a knife. Mom and brother both had chicken parm, which they said tasted kind of like a microwaved chicken nugget with no sauce, but chopped tomatoes. Dad had chicken Marsala, and said it was about the same only with mushrooms. He said the baked potato with it had more flavor than the meat. Dessert redeemed them again alittle (eclair pie)but we won't be back. Might have been an off night, but it was a REALLY off night. One star for the sweet lady who was our waitress and for the really good sweet potato mash that came with the duck.

Awful. Overpriced. Unable to produce most of the items on their own menu. We stopped for Sunday dinner around five thirty and were informed that because it was cold, they had no soup. Alright, it was a busy day, I can excuse that. We ordered appetizers. They were out of baked Brie, so we ordered smoked trout and wild mushroom tarts. The smoked trout was straight out of the cyrovac and the mushrooms were neither wild nor in tart form. White mushrooms in a red wine sauce with an undercooked roux dumped over puff pastry shells. We didn't fare much better with our entrees. I had ordered the short ribs which were twenty-eight dollars. Price rarely matters to me, but for what came out, I felt a little gipped. A huge pile of cold, lumpy mashed potatoes topped with candied carrots and gravy. Oh, and two small pieces of beef. The "Bolognese" was greasy hamburger on wet fettuccine. Overall, it was inedible.

Great food, great service in a historic building! We went for the Salt of the Sea Sunday's. A 4 course meal for $17.95!! Food was excellent quality! Snow crab legs were sweet and tender. Even the salad dressing was better than I've had. Strawberry shortcake for dessert-yum!!

One star is generous for this place. We arrived at 5:00 for dinner the bar was empty we requested a booth in the bar and were told they were all reserved. We sat in the dining room several things on the menu were not available. We ordered onion soup it was very salty, and a hot crab dip that was watery, like it had been frozen then microwaved. We ordered a steam pot which was s house speciality, it was horrible, and the prime rib which was chewy and not edible. We passed on dessert and left. Oh and the bar was still empty when we left.

Went Thursday night for the cheesesteaks. Been wanting to go for quite a while. From what I understand they have changed chefs. Had a beef veggie soup which was very good and nice and warm. Ordered the steaks and when they came was bowled over thy the size. If they would only taste as good as they looks I will be in business. Well they did. Not you everyday steaks. No chip steak and American cheese here nice roll with a flavorful cheese sauce and nice chunks of steak. Add onions and mushrooms and what a meal. Wife and I split one and took one home. I recommend the sandwiches and they will be a meal in itself.

Krista was amazing!! She had a smile on her face and was very pleasant all evening. We did not have a reservation, so we took that into consideration with serving times...it was pretty slow. There were 6 of us for dinner and all of the meals were very good. I will definitely come back when I am in town. I loved the ambiance, although it did get kind of loud in our corner...ok, we may have contributed to the noise!! All in all it was a great experience. Give them a try!!

I'm so glad I didn't read the reviews before we came here. My boyfriend's family hadn't been here in years, so they weren't sure if it would still be as good as they remembered. It was better! Three of us went for an early dinner on a Sunday and each ordered the princess cut of prime rib. It was the best prime rib I have ever had. Our sides were delicious. The peanut butter pie was good, very good. Made with cream cheese which was a little disappointing to us, because we thought it would be more like a mousse. The place wasn't busy at all. The waitress was friendly and our food came out quick. No complaints at all about this place. Wish is was a little closer to us because of how much we liked it.

Just plain bad bad bad. Bad service bad food ran out of alcohol so can't comment on cocktail. Keep your $100 bucks and drive right on by. Oh another thing decor is rustic dusty and not welcoming. Seen better days.

This is one of the places my late father loved to come so we've been here quite a few times over the years and I always remember having a solid decent prime rib dinner. With a new chef I was thinking things would even get better but we had a pretty mixed experience tonight and it kind of felt as if they were losing focus or energy. Lots of little things were off: table so tilted that soup almost came out of the bowl. We literally shimmed the bowl with sugar packets. I was told the veal piccata came with pasta, I told her I didn't want a starch at all, leave it off the plate, she said it comes with it, you can just eat around it. ?! And then it came with mashed potatoes after all that, swimming in a pool of sauce that almost ended up on my lap as I was being served except that I caught the plate before that happened. My friend's prime rib was 1/3 inedible gristle and her baked potato was so overcooked it was rock hard. Almost every item on the wine list on the table was misspelled. Everyone was nice and all, and the eclair cake was rocking, but on the whole it was a spotty experience.
