We went to 86 west for the first time even though we visit Doylestown area quite often. I ordered crab cake that hardly tasted like any real crab meat in there. My friend ordered scallops that was good. My wife ordered fish and chips that was nothing to write home about. There are so many choices one has on state street that we will not be visiting this in near future read more

Kitchen backed up an hour and 10 minutes on a Wednesday night . No comps for waiting a full hour for food, not a beer or an app on the house. We had other plans for later but I guess we eat at 9. Cool wallpaper though. Mail me a gift card or something read more

Slowly getting back to "normal" we wanted to head back to one of my old faves in Doylestown - 86 West. Just as wonderful as it was when I lived nearby, I don't see any downturn in quality or service like some of these recent reviews indicate - in fact, I think 86 West has taken certain things up a notch. I see some new items on the menu, and lots of my old favorites as well. The pandemic has not been kind to local restaurants, but I feel like 86 West has taken it all in stride. I'm sure staffing is hard right now, so perhaps the negative folks might choose to eat at off-peak times for now. I think the place was more than adequately staffed, for the record. Everyone was very friendly, service was great... in fact, I'm not really sure how the kitchen got our small plates out to us so quickly - as they approached, I recall thinking that there was no way they were ours. Food was piping hot and absolutely delicious... the Kung Fu Cauliflower was great - perfectly seasoned, and cooked juuuuuuuust right. The mac and cheese bites are a little something special - the pepper jack cheese is the thing here. They're not your average cheesy snack bite... and not at all too spicy either. A few cocktails served with plenty of smiles. Looks like we're going to quickly become regulars again! Thank you 86 West. We'll be back again soon! read more

Efficient waitress as well as knowledgable food runner, a rare combination where we had the tuna tartar, as well as three other rolls, I'm sure all rolls served there are good. Hot day this past Saturday and the waitress just kept pouring the water. Might be my favorite place in D Town. read more

Wednesday evening, pretty quiet. Nice space outside with umbrellas since it did start to rain a little. Friendly staff although food took a while to come out. My ahi tuna was very blah but my fiance's black and blue burger was delicious! The fried onions mixed with the cheese and Cajun spices... Yum! The fries were perfectly salted. read more

My husband and I came here for NYE dinner. It was easy to make a reservation, which was nice. When we arrived, the hostess wasn't too friendly. We were seated quickly at a table for two, near a window, but right next to the bar. We started off with the shrimp cocktail, which was very good (special menu for NYE). My husband ordered a martini, which he said was a little bit too strong. He wasn't thrilled with it. I ordered the steak, which was too well-done (I ordered it medium, and it was close to well-done) and my husband had the lobster, which was a really small portion. It was off of the special menu for NYE. The location is very noisy. We were hoping for a romantic evening together based on other reviews, but were a little disappointed at how noisy it was. We'd try 86 West again, but I wouldn't hurry back. read more

The tacos (fish and chicken) were just ok. The chicken was a bit bland. Could be served with some lime and they charge $2 for gluten free tacos when originally corn tacos are the best and they're gluten free ? Anyhow, the wings were too salty. The pork belly flatbread was delicious. Service was great and it's cute inside ! read more

Love this place! I've only been able to visit home once a year, so it's wonderful seeing D-town growing in the restaurant scene. I'd still love to see more, but one can only hope. 86 West has such a great vibe in a beautiful setting that screams trendy, ecclectic yet classy. read more

86 west is a Doylestown staple! We frequent here for drinks, appetizers, happy hour, etc. and have never had a bad meal. They offer an extensive sushi list too - I recommend the Dragon Roll. In general, drinks and food are always great and 86 offers a really nice vibe. We love that they offer indoor & outdoor seating so you can enjoy the nicest of days. Definitely a go-to place in our book! read more

I saw other reviews that didn't like this restaurant for various reasons. I would like to say that in my opinion the food and service was top notch. I had the tacos, my wife had a salad and our cousin had scallops. Everything was great. And our server, Zack was wonderful constantly coming back to see if we needed anything and to check on how the food was. Could not have been a better evening. read more

Wow what a roller coaster of a place! I've never experienced so much inconsistency in my life. The service was pretty terrible, our waiter had no clue about the drink menu or the food. So it was pretty disappointing. We even sat close to the owner and the service did not improve. I cannot believe how this place is run. They weren't even busy so I'd hate to see what its like when they are. I had to ask countless times for the waiter to fill my glass of water, I'm sorry but when I'm paying the price I'm paying for food at this place I do not expect to die of thirst! If the menu didn't interest us I would have left before we even ordered food. The drinks are half priced for happy hour which runs until 7 and you can sit outside gorgeous Doylestown so that was a plus and they do have some vegetarian options and I think 1 vegan option on the menu so props for that. Now onto food! My friend had oysters and they were not even shucked properly. She ate them anyway, but for 15 bucks for 6 oysters totally not worth it. I had the red beet carpacio salad! This salad was amazing! Shaved roasted beets and a goat cheese fritter! Yumm! My friend had the Vegas roll and she said it was amazing! Some of the best sushi she has ever had. For dinner I got the lobster mac and a side of the wok fried brussel spouts. The lobster mac was the WORST mac and cheese I've ever had. It tasted like paste (basically uncooked roux). I understand you don't want to overpower the flavor of the lobster, but there is no way there was 4 cheeses in that sauce, I actually questioned whether they forgot to add the cheese at all. I couldn't even eat this dish. The brussel sprouts on the other had were some of the best I've ever had! They were crispy and fresh and the ginger sauce was amazing! I fell in love. It's such a shame that they are here. I may have to just come back to get the brussel sprouts. My friend had the Bousin crusted prime aged filet mignon. She said it was good but nothing to brag about. It looked ok. We chose to end our meal with coffee and cupcakes. The cupcakes were huge, but definitely not worthy of my time, calories, or money. It's just weird that this place serves sushi, its like they are trying to dabble in everything when they should focus on a solid menu. I think I will try it out again just because I loved the brussel sprouts but hopefully next time they will impress! read more

I went last night for the first time and must have just missed my friend Barry, we arrived about 830 and had a cocktail at the bar. I had a Manhattan and it was mixed well and in a big glass, I love a drink that is worthy of a big glass! The bar was really hopping with a nice crowd of people. We got a table a few minutes later in the back and got quick service. We stuck to sushi and started with our servers suggestion of the Tuna Crunch, it was a great start! We followed it with a big variety of additional plates of Spicy Tuna and Crazy Roll Lobster Club and a few others...all in all the experience was really positive and I will continue to go back and recommend it to friends. read more

Paid high prices just to get a couple of wedge salads which consisted of nothing but lettuce that I could have just DoorDashed from the grocery store. Seeing as I already had to use the salad dressings we had in hand Got nothing with it as we had to use our own ingredients. overrated So basically a couple of 16 dollar heads (plural) of lettuce? read more

The food is OK, but the staff here is the biggest turn off. I've been here twice in three years and from the hostess to the wait staff the vibe was the same: pretentious. I won't complain at length. I simply won't go back. read more

We had a reservation for 2 at 5:30. got there a little early so we sat at the bar till it was time. Got 2 drinks and 2 sushi rolls, sushi was great but my drink was super strong and not to mention that it took us atleast 30 mins to get our drinks plus sushi. bar tender seemed to only help the regulars. Finally it was time for our reservation and our apps were pretty good we got the tempura veggies and mussels. Entrees we're easily a 3/10. I got surf and turf and it had absolutely no flavor and my bf got the strip and asked for it medium and it was rare. I sent my food back and got calamari instead and it wasn't great either. No flavor and super chewy. So much for celebrating our 5 year anniversary. read more

I would love to hear more from my friend Jason who rated it 1 star. We went last night (Saturday) at the recommendation of a good friend. We arrived a bit early (6:50) and the place was hopping. Its owned by the owners of the Knight House and is next door on State Street. Its large, well laid out and nicely appointed (despite the fact that they still had Christmas decorations up). Fairly loud and difficult to have conversations, but nice crowd (so it depends what you are looking for). The food was ok. Specialties are small plates and sushi. I tried both. The hamachi was ok, not great. When I saw it on the menu (6 pc for $12) it seemed a good value. They were cut uncharacteristically thin, so it was not good value. Cocktails also mixed weakly (my wife had a cosmo and after coming from the Freight House earlier said it seemed "all cranberry"). They had difficulty doing that to my grey goose :) Service good but not great. I probably would've rated it higher if the value were better. read more

My fiancé and I went here for dinner with another couple on a Friday night. We made reservations on Open Table a few weeks ahead to ensure we could get a table. Only having to wait about 5 minutes, we were fortunately seated in a quiet part of the restaurant which was perfect for us to talk throughout our visit. First, we placed our drink orders which came out very quick considering how busy they were. For our dinner, I ordered the chicken bruschetta and my fiancé got the Kobe burger. The bruschetta was fresh and full of flavor. The chicken itself was cooked and seared to perfection. I was impressed with the portion size of my meal and was able to take a good amount of left overs home. My fiancé was overly satisfied with his burger stating it was juicy and seasoned nicely. The couple we were with really enjoyed their meals as well. Being gluten free, we were happy to see how many gluten free options they offered on the menu. The service here was awesome, our food came out in a reasonable time for a Friday night and our waitress checked back with us frequently. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming too! I will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Went for valentines day weekend. Had valentines special sushi and reason I am giving 4 stars is because sushi was warm??? Maybe im mistaking; but sushi should never be warm right? Had steak salad as well, was delicious. Steak was PERFECTLY cooked. My boyfriend enjoyed a burger as well. Overall nice experience. Not as fancy as I thought it would be. read more

We had a private family luncheon. There were 16 of us on Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious with a wide variety of choices, including Gluten Free. Our server Mara was incredible! She was an experienced/polished server. All food came out fresh and hot or cold as the dish dictated. Mara was always anticipating our needs and providing all requests promptly. We had a private room which overlooked State Street on one side and the bar/courtyard in the back. What a great experience! read more

Awesome food. LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE- awesome. I had the sushi which was good but pricey and my boyfriend had the burger was just okay to him. We also ordered wings which were good but sooo small. Waiter was okay. Never checked on us. Pricey not sure if I would come back. Maybe just for the lobster mac and cheese lol read more

Visited here yesterday with family for a birthday dinner. I would definitely come back again. Food and atmosphere Was amazing. It was a little crowded because they were having a happy hour special but that's expected. Sushi was amazing the 86 West one is my favorite i also got the 86 West Burger with the fried egg it was delicious i just wish the egg was more runny and not fully cooked. For dessert we had Creme Brûlée it was amazing but the shortbread was a little stale. However the cinnamon funnel cake is a must try!!! Our waitress Tracy was amazing very pleasant and professional. I would def come back! read more

I was surprised to see so many three-star reviews for 86 West on Yelp. I've been here a few times and always leave happy. All the food is very good. I'd highly recommend any of their sushi but especially the Godzilla Roll. Also the fish tacos were great as well. It was disappointed though that on my most recent trip the beer taps were broken and they have a very basic bottle list so pretty much no craft beer was available. Overall great place to eat outside on a summer night in Doylestown. read more

The service is definitely not the same. Regardless of covid. We arrived and the hostess was busy and was cursing someone and then another woman walked up to help and the young hostess just ordered her to give us a seat. The waitress was nice but seemed like she could be elsewhere. We asked for tea and saw another table get a big voice but we only got what she gave us. We just wanted some sushi rolls and a burger but she told us it will take a long time so ok we need an appetizer. So burnt Brussels sprouts is what we ended up with. Thank goodness the rest of our order was good. Sad because I used to love this place. $90 later on water and food for two (adult and an 11 year old). I'm not impressed. Downhill slide read more

This place has terrible customer service. I ordered takeout for the family. We ordered a filet mozzarella app which they never gave us and a 6oz filet (that smelled and tasted like old smelly feet), salmon that had no flavor, crab dip that looked more canned tuna salad and fish tacos we are afraid of touching since the rest of it sucked. Called the restaurant and after telling me that there is no manager, one was magically found when I insisted on speaking with someone in charge. After feeling like I had to repeatedly prove myself they asked me what did I want. I told them since they're customer service sucked as well I wanted the whole meal comp'd. They refused. Why would you ask me if you knew what you were going to do? They told me they would credit my card for the missing dish and the smelly filet. I will update if it doesn't appear on my account. read more

Been here several times, both as a diner and in the bar, for dinner and for brunch, with friends and with family. It's fun at night on the weekend, there are always people in the bar area. Food is always consistently good. I especially love their oyster shooters! read more

In my opinion, this Doylestown established has the best burger in town. It always comes to the table exactly how it is ordered. Our second live here is the Godzilla roll. Good sushi for a non sushi place. read more

Just walked out of 86 West after waiting for 10 minutes to be seated. The hostess was absent, but a server saw us and went about her business. The place wasn't overly crowded, and we kept trying to make eye contact with someone but no luck. I finally went over to the bar and asked if we could be seated. The server who had seen us walk in 10 minutes ago said- yeah, I can seat you. No apology, nothing. We've experienced rude service at this place in the past, but never so bad. We walked out of there. If you're a person of color, you're not welcome at 86 West. Lesson learned. They've lost my business for good. read more

Great place to relax and enjoy the outdoor seating. The place is always busy and still the service is fast. Tasha o waitress is personable and does a nice job remembering names and recalling what you had the time before. read more

Confused because when the hostess told us they had no open seating outside we asked to have our names put down. She said it would be 45 minutes wait, so we got a drink next door, and came back 45 minutes later. Then, we were suddenly told they were no longer seating since 8:15, and the kitchen was closed. No hard feelings but it was obviously disappointing to have to wait and then walk home hungry. read more

This is really a terrific restaurant! First of all, they have a very elaborate menu: I can't think of another restaurant that does sushi and burgers equally well. I have been here a number of times and every time have been extremely satisfied with both the food and the service. It is located on state street in Doylestown, so parking can be difficult at busy times. If you cannot manage to get any street parking, there are metered parking lots not far. It is definitely worth it! read more

I'm giving an extra star because we are in a pandemic. The quality of food had been steadily declining. I decided to give another chance & order something I thought could not go wrong at a nice restaurant: fish & chips. The batter was far too thick and soggy. It was so bad my boyfriend & I only ate the fries which were subpar as well. We drove all the way from NJ to go out in Dtown & the food was a big disappointment. read more

This place is terrible. Went here yesterday and when we walked up the hostess was a young girl that didn't even look up at us. She was on her phone and talking to other people the entire time. Rude staff and seems like they just want to keep the small town people happy. The food didn't makeup for the service either. read more

Friendly service, happy hour, small plates or sushi plus entrees. Nice outdoor patio.

To the manager of this establishment...please staff your restaurant appropriately. The bartender should not make drinks, barback, & run food. She was very pleasant but my evening out should not be focused on the fact that she is a 1 woman show. you are putting customers in a situation where we are made to be sympathetic to your understaffing & have an expectation of poor service while still paying inflationary costs. I'm good with the prices & the sushi was decent, but don't have 2 teeniboppers as hostesses & then not staff the service related positions for your customers. read more

Nice outdoor dining space. Friendly efficient service. Small bites and sandwiches are good and reasonably priced. Regular menu is a bit pricey, but it's Doylestown. read more

I have been here twice. The first time, I have nothing nice to say... food not great, service awful. I decided to give it a 2nd chance... due to their fabulous deck area. Things went better the 2nd time around. Food was great. Guacamole was delish. My burger perfect. The service was still lacking though. Slow, late, empty glasses ... maybe on third try, the service and food will be great read more

Came here with some friends over the weekend. Nice cute place love the ambience. Food comes out a bit slow in my opinion. We got our apps about 30 mins later after the order was taken. We got a flat bread which was ok. Got zucchini fries-bomb, cauliflower-bomb. Entrees we just shared were sliders - great but over cooked. Widow and lobster roll - it was okay. And the shrimp scampi was bland as anything. Probably the worst one I've ever had tbh lol needs so much more salt and better ingredients for the price. Service was great and i would be back but i would never suggest that scampi to anyone. Maybe it was a bad night? Lol who knows read more

We are outside. Great food. Pleasant staff. Live music on a Sunday. Would definitely eat there again.

We made reservations and upon arriving we were escorted to our table. Our waitress was very nice and even though they were quite busy, she never made us feel rushed when asking a question. The food was outstanding and arrived at our table in a timely manner. Reason for not five stars is there is a bar in the middle of the room, which we were seated next too. A guest at the bar was quite toasted, came getting extremely loud, keep hoping around to his friends seats. For the price of the meal, I was not impressed with how he was handled. All the employees were watching him and at one point he decided he was going to survey us about beer. As he swayed around, drunkenness talk to us two waiters stepped around him and kept going. His friends were at the bar laughing. Took about three minutes for our waitress to show up to escort him back to the bar. Which they did decide to cut him off from drinking. Not truly the restaurants fault but better handling should have happened. read more
