Riegelsville: Riegelsville Inn (September 2019)



My spouse and I dined at the Riegelsville Inn for lunch on a Saturday in September 2019. The Inn is open daily for lunch/brunch and dinner. Diners can reserve a spot using the online Open Table reservation system.

The Riegelsville Inn is located in a mid-1800s historic multi-story building across the street from the Delaware River and canal and the bridge to New Jersey. Guests can dine in the small bar room, one of the various dining rooms on the ground-level or second floor, or seasonally al fresco on the side patio, front porch, or second-story balcony. Indoors, wooden beams and tin ceilings accentuate stone walls to create a rustic feel. 

The restaurant serves international cuisine. We sampled “Beth’s Famous Bloody Mary”, but it was terrible! We noticed that others diners also sent their glasses back still half-full. We did appreciate the garnish of cucumber/green squash, red pepper, shrimp, and olive. Fortunately, our meal improved from that point; we shared the tomato tart as a starter, followed by the chicken and biscuits (served with a side salad) and lamb burger (served with a choice of a side salad or fries). For dessert, we shared the dessert sampler, selecting pumpkin cheesecake, bread pudding, and carrot cake as our three items (they were out of the pecan tart, unfortunately). 

We enjoyed our lunch at the Riegelsville Inn, and we will definitely return, especially to enjoy more outdoor dining.
