We have been going to 59 Almshouse for many years. My brother and I and our wives really enjoy ourselves when dining there, and Anthony and his crew take good care of us. We were there tonight and our server was Ashley and she really went above and beyond. She provided us with our single best experience at your restaurant. She was the icing on the cake! We will continue bringing all of our family and friends there. The only thing better than Anthony's smoking old fashion was Ashley caring service. Nice work having her on your crew! Happy new year to all of you. God bless you, Dean Niedrist. niedristd@gmail.com 267-644-6657 (Rob,Kim,Lisa) read more

59 Almshouse seems to be the place for large groups to get together which is both great and tough. Great because they accommodate large parties, and not because the restaurant can get very loud, very quickly. They have three seating options- their inside bar area, an outdoor covered area, and an inside dining room. We sat in their dining room which was nice until more guests came in and it became increasingly harder to carry a normal conversation. That aside, the staff was super nice, attentive, and great with menu suggestions. Now the food- damn (excuse the language). The portions were HUGE (the sticky rice bowl easily could have fed two people) and delicious. We ordered the tempura green beans side as an appetizer along with the bangin' shrimp appetizer. The shrimp was in a more cornmeal-like batter versus a tempura based you would have expected but good nonetheless. And you can't go wrong with tempura green beans with various dipping sauces. For entrees, the turkey reuben was crispy yet saucy, paired with coleslaw, grapes and pickles. The sticky rice bowl was packed with all your favorites and topped with crispy wonton chips (yum). Coupled with a trio of sauces, you also have eight protein options to select from. Aside from the noise level, good experience overall. Side note for new guests- the entrance is in the back, up a long ramp, NOT on the street side. read more

Wow...excellent dinner tonight...hit all but one box. I may as well start with the one negative. The one box it missed was the noise level...glad we were a party of 4 bc we found ourselves almost shouting to have a conversation. But that truly was our only negative. Our server, Rachael, was excellent and we credited her great service to adding to our awesome dinner at 59 Almshouse. Started with a round of cocktails. I normally get a dirty martini but those short stubby martini glasses ruin it for me...I dislike those glasses. I took the lead from our friend who raved about the Smokey Old Fashion. He was right...one of the best cocktails I have had outside of my regular dirty martini. I look forward to ordering that every time now. It had a bit too much ice so next time I will request less ice for sure. And wow...the smell of the smoke and the drink were outstanding. The menu choices are all so good...difficult to choose bc I wanted about 10 things...I was ready to switch it up from my normal ahi tuna which I get every time. Well, I picked the mahi-mahi fajitas. This has now taken first place and moved up to my new favorite. I loved it! Sooo much food that I hope to share it next time. Leftovers are fine too. They do the fajitas extremely well and I highly recommend. Hubs ordered the Thanksgiving dinner, which is funny since Thanksgiving is in a few days. But that too was outstanding. (I had to taste it) It was a generous portion and he "gobbled" up a good amount and raved how good it was several times as he was eating. Hubs rarely gets that excited about his food which says a lot. Our friends enjoyed and raved about their food as well. Not sure there is a bad thing on the menu. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. They do this extremely well. I am not deducting a star for the noise level bc they truly deserve 5 stars. My compliments to the chef and to our server Rachel. read more

This was my 2nd time here and it did not disappoint! Service was amazing, and the food was very good! Great portions, reasonable priced, and a great selection of food on the menu! I will 100% return! read more

After my grandson's competitive soccer game, where he scored 4 goals and an assist, I might add. My wife and I set our focus on this restaurant for an early dinner. We both ordered the roast pork entree with a cup of crab bisque. The pork was moist, and the spinach was flavored to our liking. We both agreed it was a fantastic dinner. In retrospect, one dinner entree was large enough to serve two adults. Carole, our server, waited on us and was knowledgeable in informing us about the various entrees. read more

My fiancé and I ordered two drinks and French onion soup to start. I was very impressed with the presentation of my old fashioned, but the taste was a little too bitter for me and there was too much pulp. The French onion soup was great. Our entrees were good as well. Everything came out nice and hot, and the portions were big. My only complaint is the service. It's pretty busy and seemingly understaffed. There was a party next to us who waited 20 minutes for one of their entrees, while all the other plates had been delivered. Yikes. read more

Average visit overall with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Some dishes were enjoyable, others bland. Wait times felt long, making this place convenient but not ideal for special occasions tonight. read more

Good Food and recommended for an enjoyable experience. Nice selection of food and a very calm and soothing atmosphere. Prices are fair and portions are very nice. Friendly staff. Can get very busy during dinner hours. Recommended for small groups not large parties. Always consistent. read more

...the menu is vast and can meet expectations of those that want to eat healthily as well as those that may want to "take a break" It can be noisy (esp. on weekends) - just reserve a table in "the back" for quieter surroundings. read more

Our first time at 59 Almhouse and we were very pleased with our lunch. I had the Turkey Club an it was amazing. Crisp bacon, fresh bread, greens, perfect chips and a proper coleslaw. They also gave us a sample of their pickles, which were delicious. We also had the Hawaiian Tuna Poke which we also loved. Portions are large and we took home a generous portion of leftovers. We will definitely return again soon... read more

Love this place! The food is consistently good with generous portions and fair prices. Friendly service and a great bar with lots of imaginative drink options. They have a decent wine list as well, with the upper end wines quite good. They have a broad and interesting menu with lots of options for appetizers. Their tuna dishes are excellent and my carnavore friends love the steaks - always cooked just right. The desserts are also very good like the pan baked apple crisp. The only negative at all is the much too small parking lot. They are busy every day of the week, so be sure to make a reservation. There is also a very nice enclosed patio in the front, which is a favorite of mine all year around. read more

Drinks and service were terrific! Food was good with the exception of not really being hot when served. Popular place so when checking in for our reservation we were told we had 90 minutes(as other reviewers have also stated) . That made me immediately feel uneasy. I purposely mar reservations on the early side so I can have a relaxing experience. Upon seating I felt like I needed to quickly decide and order a drink etc . Our appetizer took some time from ordering until served to us so that made dinner feel rushed and left no time for dessert. And yes they mean it ..as soon after the 90 minutes were up and immediately after we paid we were told we had 5 more minutes as the table was reserved. But there was an empty table next to us read more

Love the seasonal change in menus and food is always delicious. Wait for a table is sometimes long, and reservations are hard to get for weekend evenings. read more

Celebrated my 90th Birthday with thirty of my friends and family members at 59 Almshouse. Arrangements: They explained in detail what our options were: what area of the restaurant was available, seating set-up, menu, etc. Service: Pleasant, accommodating,unobtrusive Food: Veggie/Cheese Platter when we arrived. (Carrot, Broccoli, Cauliflower-all fresh and cut in easy to handle pieces.) Main Buffet: Salmon, Chicken Francaise, Rice, Salad, Fresh Rolls - all fresh, delicious and plentiful. I have enjoyed lunches and dinners at the restaurant. Interesting menu, options from small plates to complete dinners, always pleasant, helpful service. read more

The nachos and octopus are a must The fries are the best! Service is great and speedy read more

Great food and service drinks are very creative and prices are not too bad Always make a reservation because they are always crowded

I love the food here. The outdoor seating space is nice as well. I would rate the poke bowl 8/10 and the jambalaya 9/10. The desert is also great and servers are very nice. read more

The food is great here, the drinks are also great. Service is good, but every time I've been here, they have forced me to sit outside( even with a reservation). At times, it was very cold. I love the sweet potato fries and the burgers and brisket glad bread are great. I also loved the seafood chowder. All in all, this place has been consistently great. read more

Traveled from NJ out to this PA restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Nicely decorated and also an enclosed patio section available. I do suggest reservations as this place does book up. Treat yourself to the Bucks County Social (see pic). Instead of Vodka (sub for Gin) The French Onion soup features a balanced broth and a generous amount of cheese. Would definitely recommend you try it! The Brie platter appetizer was very large and had an array of pairings for the toast points and cheese. The Thanksgiving Dinner was of quality Turkey and flavorful Stuffing; honestly the perfect comfort meal if looking for something simple yet elegant. The Prime NY strip special was phenomenal as the beef was cooked perfectly and had a very strong beef presence. It melted in your mouth and needed no sauces to enhance it; although it wouldn't be a big deal if you did use one. Deserts were homemade and presented well. The only reason for 4 stars is the service was stretched thin a little with some gaps on checking in to the table and bringing additional drinks etc. Overall pleasant and professional. I will definitely make another trip out and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

59 Almshouse - Bucks County Social Cocktail sub Vodka with Gin - New American Near Me - Richboro, Pennsylvania

To begin with, the food was good and so was the service. The issue? Upon arrival we were told in no uncretain terms that we could not spend more than 90 minutes at our table, as it was booked. So we felt we could not relax and enjoy our meal. We felt rushed the whole time. Plus we were seated near a large party of loud people. We had to shout at each other to make conversation. It was not a pleasant dining experience. We will not be returning any time soon. read more

Just finished a delicious lunch. Friendly and efficient service, wide variety of options. Birria tacos were tasty, with great sides and accompaniments. read more

There are 4-star restaurants, 5-star restaurants and then there are 5-PLUS star restaurants. 59 Almshouse is a 5++ restaurant. We are infrequent regulars, driving 1+ hrs to enjoy a fresh hot meal, and every meal ordered and eaten at 59 Almshouse has been A+++!! From the Sticky Rice bowl w/Ahi Tuna, French onion soup, Rib eye sandwich, Jambalaya, Asian salmon, or the Winter Salad... everything comes out Fresh, hot, delicious, and cooked/plated to perfection!! Service has always been great. Prompt. Courteous. Correct orders. Chef and manager who decide on the menu is a culinary genius. Can't wait to return!! read more

Nice, friendly staff. Attentive waitress. I had the keto friendly chicken special with black beans and avocados. It was tasty and fresh. My husband had the shaved roast beef sandwich with wasabi aoli. It was tender, juicy steak cooked to the right temperature. Good portions. read more

It was a beautiful night so my friend and I opted to sit outside as they have a beautiful outdoor seating area with a bar. My friend ordered the grilled octopus and I ordered the steamed edamame as an appetizer. My friend said the octopus was delicious however there was only a few pieces of octopus as the rest of the plate had an overabundance of chickpeas and potatoes. I ordered the garden salad with blackened mahi-mahi. There was no love put into making the salad. It was just a bowl of spring mix, tomatoes, red onions and roasted peppers and and a piece of blackened mahi-mahi. Honestly, it didnt look like a salad should look. Everything was just put on the salad. No mixing at all. It tasted meh. We weren't offered any bread either. My friend ordered the chicken caesar salad. Again, it was just romaine with grilled chicken on top. No love whatsoever. Our waiter was just ok. He seemed to disappear a little. Id definitely return and sit at the outdoor bar and enjoy a cocktail and app! read more

Regretfully have to inform of unsatisfactory take out tonight. Simple order, 2 burgers with one that my lovely wife could not finish.. Medium well ordered, over done was delivered. Everything else was great, but you don't know what is wrong until you are informed. Now you know. We eat in and take out often; it's not like there are a ton of options in Richboro. read more

Had a quick dinner here before heading to AR Workshop in Newtown. The place is small and crowded. Reservations are 100% needed, even at 4:30 or 5:00 in the afternoon. The bar crowd at 5:00 was rowdy and loud. I didn't mind though--they were just having a good time! The menu has something for everyone! I really want to go back and try something different. I had the white sangria, which was pretty good! I also ordered the tuna poke entrée. It came with three sauces--one was pretty spicy, one was wasabi, and one was a tangy mayo-type sauce. I didn't need too much of the sauce because the dish was flavorful enough. The only problem was that it was VERY heavy on the toasted sesame oil--that's all I could taste. I like sesame oil, but it was too much. Forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry, but the poke dish was so colorful! I will be back again! read more

The ribs seem to have changed. They're not as good as I remember, actually a real disappointment because I came specifically for them. They strangely were both saucy and dry at the same time. It's as if they sat for a long time, were reheated, and then covered in sauce to mask the texture and flavor. They were very salty, too. Everything else was great as always, but the food is really the most important, especially when you come for a specific item. read more

What a terrible experience at this place today. Incredibly poor (and SLOW) service, rude staff interaction at every turn, and just in general being treated like a bother that we were there. Among the worst service experiences I've had at a restaurant. Only giving one star because Yelp won't allow me to leave zero. read more

One of our go-to restaurants after trying for the first time a couple months ago. Been back at least 5 times since. We bring someone different with us every time and everyone has been impressed. Haven't had anything bad yet. My wife loves their French onion soup and sweet potato burger. Their spinach/artichoke dip is really good and I've had a different entree every time and they were all really good. Their cocktails have all been delicious and the smoked margaritas is fun to get. We'll be back for sure. read more

I've been here several times recently. The food, service and atmosphere are great. I prefer the bar since the acoustics absorb sound. I love the Asian salad with Thai chicken. I seem to get that every time. I particularly like the wait staff. They are so accommodating! read more

59 Almshouse has good food, I've enjoyed the chicken and waffles, chocolate decadence, my Dad really enjoys the Thanking dinner, but my absolute go to is the Sticky Rice Bowl with Salmon! Why the salmon sticky rice bowl you ask? Well, because the salmon has always been cooked well with the skin nice and crispy, even after coming out of a takeout container! The veggies and fruit are great, cucumber, tomato, red peppers, edamame, and avocado....and more. Then the rice it's good and sticky as it should be. Also, they give you so many sauces! I don't use most of them, because there too spicy, but sometimes I try a little. The sesame oil one is my favorite, and the sauce is a great added flavor to my bowl! 59 Almshouse is a restaurant that has a lot of different foods to try, and they always seem to add that extra touch, like a great sauce or home made whipped cream. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I love this restaurant, but it will be the last time we come here. Why have a reservation system in place, when you still must wait at least 30 minutes for a table? It's poor management. Plain and simple. This isn't the first time this has happened, but it will be the last. 30 minutes after our reservation time and there were still 4 tables ahead of us. We left. (btw, the food truck, Fry's Scratch Kitchen at Warwick Farms Brewery down the street was excellent!!!) Honestly, I can't imagine what the staff has to deal with. Not fair to them and it's painfully obvious they don't know how to handle upset customers. It is so frustrating. I am a manager of client loyalty and understand when things go bump, but this is obviously systemic. I'm very happy for your popularity and success and I'm sure you will have others who will take our place...but you've lost me as a customer. read more
