This was a very disappointing visit to Chambers Restaurant, especially since we've eaten here before and had a very good experience. We arrived around 9:10 p.m. There was only one table in the dining room, and they left shortly after we were seated. Only one other table came in while we were there, yet it still took nearly 10 minutes to find someone to seat us. We ordered two Steak Frites--one medium and one well done. Unfortunately, the medium steak came out rare, and the well-done steak was closer to medium. The garlic sauce was only lukewarm, not hot, and both steaks were tougher and fattier than expected. While our waitress was friendly, the overall service felt disorganized and inattentive, with staff seemingly stretched thin and focused on tasks other than guest care. Another group also struggled to get seated, and basic service details--like checking on tables or refilling drinks--were overlooked, leaving us feeling largely ignored throughout the meal. After seeing how undercooked my steak was, I decided I didn't want another one. Instead, I reordered the BBQ burger. Unfortunately, it didn't arrive until my spouse had completely finished eating. The burger itself was just okay, but the frizzled onions were extremely stale, and the bacon was overcooked, with parts of it burnt. To their credit, management removed the Steak Frites from our bill and gave us 50% off the burger, which we appreciated. However, for the prices they charge, the overall quality of the food and service simply didn't justify the cost. They also charge a surcharge on top of that if you use a credit card. Tipping should reflect the quality of service provided, and in this case, the experience did not meet expectations. If you're going to remain open until 9:00 p.m. and later, there should be enough staff and experienced kitchen personnel to provide the same level of service guests would expect earlier in the evening. Overall, this visit fell far short of our previous experiences. We left disappointed and hoping this was just an off night, but based on this experience, it's difficult to recommend. read more

Went with a large group for lunch. Working with the manager ahead of time was a pleasure. They were helpful and responsive. Everyone said their food was delicious and fresh. Waiter was good considering the large group and a slight mix up with lack of lunch specials. Only concern would be lack of close handicapped parking since two people in the group needed it Would definitely go back. read more

Always a nice time coming here. They have a DJ regularly weekend nights and prices comparable to the rest of town. The food isn't bad and they have some happy hour bar fare which is fun as well, even if they're not the most spectacular dishes. I personally don't enjoy them but there are plenty of people that go for them and love them. Most of the bartenders are very friendly and hustle all night as well. Make sure to take care of them. They treat everyone as if they're a long time customer. It's always relaxing late into the evening out and the lights are dimmed while you enjoy your time out with your friends and/or family. read more

Sat by the window at a wobbly table. Two guitarists played The Eagles, Stevie Nicks, and Neil Young, which set a great vibe for the over-50 set at the bar. Mussels came in a nicely spicy sauce but needed more depth. The toasted bread was meh--fresh bread would've been better with a soupier sauce. Two sandy mussels out of twelve...please soak them longer next time. Lily, our server, was excellent--warm, attentive, and on top of things--she noticed the wobbly table and fixed it with a wedge without us even asking. The margarita was great: citrusy with a float of dry red wine--like a sangria-margarita. We split the salmon and rice dish. Simple, good, with a light crust, but it really needed some fresh lemon to balance the flavors (I pulled my wedge out of my water). If the kitchen tightens up, they could get to 3.5 stars. Place has the potential to be a real spot! read more

Waited over 40 minutes for burgers. Minimum amount of food. Lacked taste. I now understand why no one was in there.

Oh my gosh. The short rib entree is TO DIE FOR. The mushroom risotto is so creamy & flavorful. The short rib itself is so tender & melts in your mouth- prepared a nice medium. I'm actually obsessed and probably will ask for this exact meal if I ever end up on death row. Bartender also made a delicious dirty martini & she's also super nice!! I'm not from here & this did NOT disappoint. read more

Sat at the Bar and Britt, bartender, made it a warm and welcoming mid-week happy hour. My friend and I enjoyed Chili, French Onion Soup (a tad too salty for my liking) and fabulous $6 Brussels Sprouts. I also had a Happy Hour shot of Tito's for just $3.50. Happy hour is the way to go here, and Britt is a great bartender. Superb Service. read more

Some friends and I were looking for a place to stop by for a quick snack and a drink! We stepped right into Chambers and found a spot at the bar. We got lucky though, it was the only open spot left on a Saturday in the summer. Service was quick to take our order shortly after we sat down, however we did wait some time for our food but it was understandable with how busy it was. Good drinks and good appetizers. My friend and I spilt the Pickles and Pub Pretzels! Perfect pretzel bread that's got a little crunch but super soft insides. The pickles were fried to perfection and not oily at all! For the dips, it came with queso and chipotle sauce. We both preferred the queso!! For the ambiance, it's definitely a bar! It's got relatively loud music and sports streaming on the TV. We sat directly in the bar area - it was a bit louder than our preference but we also picked a bar when my friends and I were looking to catch up! Fun environment, especially at night. Overall great stop! Definitely would stop in for a drink and apps another time! read more

First time there and had a pleasant meal. Martini and Blue Orange were chilled to perfection. I had the steak and my wife had the salmon and both were cooked just right. We finished with a tasty crème brûlée . Our waitress Allie was friendly and very efficient serving us. We will be back. read more

I was in the mood for a beet salad and I just so happen to find s 19 Bistro. The house was very kind and welcoming. Tor was our server and she was great from beginning to end. The appetizer's and salad came out very fast. I have to say the service was 5 starts. Tor was great. The ambiance was dated, but well kept. Though the food was delivered in a timely matter, the food was a little sub par. I really don't think it was the chefs fault, perhaps it was the ingredients they were given. I really don't know. Though my steak was prepared to my liking (ribeye) it was not S flavorful or tender as any ribeye I have ever had in the past. The burger bun was like day old bread with hard edges. In conclusion the staff you have are great, but the ingredients used need to be stepped up. read more

We stopped by here today for a Beer and decided to have lunch. I had the veggie wrap, it was Delicious. Grilled Asparagus. Saute Spinach and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and my boyfriend had the Short Rib Grill Cheese on a ciabatta, very Delicious and Flavorful. We will back. read more

Absolutely love this place , from Doylestown and it's my favorite place in Doylestown. They have a new owner and the food seems to still be really good. The bartenders and servers are always excellent and very friendly, love the happy hour. It's great to have a restaurant with split personalities. One side is a nice , quiet restaurant while the other side is a fun pub. Depending on your mood, you can definitely always be happy here.The cheesesteak was very good , I liked the roll but I believe it was previously frozen and not fresh. The barbed is awesome and the entrees are also really good but I haven't tried the new menu yet. read more

This bar was so mid and the inside did not have a cohesive aesthetic at all. I got a Purple Rain and it was way too sweet and my bartender was not nice. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Had dinner there tonight for New Year's Eve. Got the Shepherds Pie. The menu said it had mixed vegetables in it. It was just ground lamb with corn topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Disappointing. Expected at least some onions and carrots, maybe some green beans. I guess the cook didn't follow the recipe. read more

Went to chambers today. I was kinda disappointed The table we sat at was sticky, along with the floor I ordered a fish taco, $25 and it was ok, at best My girlfriend ordered a Reuben on rye , The sandwich, had about an ounce of meat, and some kraut Not worth near the $15 Very disappointed The place needs a lot of cleaning up, and maintenance read more

Went here for lunch as it had been here for years and I decided to try. The French onion was not the best I've ever had, but the salads were great and very generous portions. Service was also great. read more

It was a Friday night date night when we came across Chambers 19. It's in the center of town, across from Starbucks. We decided to check them out and heard they serve a fantastic burger from another Doylestown foodie. We walked in without reservations, and we were seated in a few minutes. The primary side seems a little fancier, with leather-backed seats, a fireplace, and a well-lit bar area. We were seated on the other side where the atmosphere was more laid back with tv and sports playing wall to wall with a good selection of 90s grunge rock playing. It was crowded but still offered an atmosphere to hear your date from across the table. I heard rumblings for this as the best burger in town, the Burger Au Poivre (demi glazed mushroom sauce ), with an order of wings to share. Overall it was a good burger, but I look forward to making a top burger list for the Doylestown area. Love to hear what you might consider the best burger in your opinion so I can add it to my following destinations. #trendingflavor read more

Went here on a quiet weekday night. Cozy place with decent menu. Food is standard pub fare, with slight elevation. The sauces with the pickles and pretzels was very flavorful. Service was attentive. It's one of the few places open later than it's neighbors offering food, so will likely come back here again. read more

Amazingly good food however service was incredibly slow and our server saw fit to chatter away to a group of friends at the table behind us while we waited 10 minutes to be greeted after seating....21 minutes just to get a beer, another 15 minutes for the food AND THEN SHE PROCEEDED TO HAVE ANOTHER 15 MINUTE LONG CONVERSATION WITH THE TABLE BEHIND US WHILE WE THEN WAITED FOR THE CHECK ........sorry won't be returning...food is always good but don't have a spare 2 hours to be held hostage in a eating establishment. The manager/managers need to know what's happening. read more

I go to Chambers about once a week The bartender there Julius is one of the best bartenders in the country. In my opinion smart affable knows a lot about alcohol, especially whiskey positive person. It's a nice place good solid food and the cocktails and beer are reasonably priced. I think it's one of the great fines and all Doylestown I've been here 30 Years Great Place‼ read more

My wife and I decided to eat here on Saturday night to try something different. I ordered the cheese plate for an appetizer and the skirt steak with a vegetable replacing the fries. As usual I ordered the steak rare. It was rare and quite tasty. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the steak. The cheese plate was also quite good. It came with about 12 little slices of cheese and a cheese infused with blueberries. Also included was a small selection of berries including strawberries and blueberries. It was good and I enjoyed it as an appetizer. One small complaint is that the timing was a little off as the entrees came while we were still eating the appetizers. We like to take our time and talk and enjoy the little time out we get. Unfortunately when the entrees come before the appetizer is finished it makes us feel a little rushed. The service was good. We did not have reservations, but the hostess, Jessica, was friendly and handled the situation quickly so we could get a table without delay. The server was also friendly and stayed on top of our order. We decided to have house wine of which they had a nice selection, and it was quite affordable. The bottom line is that for a change of pace and a nice Saturday dinner Chambers 19 was a good choice. We will come back again. read more

Chambers 19 is the pocket aces of the Doylestown food scene (reference chosen for a reason). I'd call it a hidden gem but its way too big to hide. Full disclosure, I only started coming here because I'm in the Tuesday night poker league (Riverchasers, free to join and play....cheap plug) and from the first thing I ordered was "all in." I first fell in love with their steak quesadillas (like I'd serious dream about them some nights) sadly they were taken off the menu during Covid and haven't made it back quite yet (please hurry!!!! we miss them). Since then I've moved onto the sheppard's pie, the bourbon chicken, and the gold medal winner..... The Waldorf chicken salad (holy crap that's delicious) I'm here almost every Tuesday (having a life is overrated) and I've never had a bad meal. Wings (kickass), Entrees (mouthwatering), and desserts to die for. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong. And for the love of good please tip your servers!!! Our Tuesday server (shout out to Shannon) just never stops moving. One of those intuitive servers that just KNOWS! Your glass will never go empty (I swear she can see a half full glass from a mile away), she always quick with a kind word and quicker to get the food out. Simply the best. Come for the food, stay for the poker......see ya next Tuesday? read more

I've had the pleasure of returning to Chambers after they re-opened for both lunch and dinner. Their burgers remain spot on. If you are a fan of fried pickles the pickleback burger is for you. The new menu has a lot of great entrees. On my last visit I ordered the Shepherd'spie. Wonderful mixture of browned beef, vegetables in a warm gravy topped with mashed potatoes, served in a cute cast-iron skillet. The drink menu remains strong. The craft beer selection is top notch with a mixture of national and local selections. While in-person dining may be done for2020, I cannot wait to return in the New Year. read more

Best Burgers!!!! From the toppings, to the sides -- just all around delicious. I've had other things here before too and its consistently good. But I'm here to talk about the burgers. Perfectly cooked, quality meat, not too greasy. The mushroom one is like a gravy, very savory, gave me meatloaf vibes but so tasty. Fresh mushrooms and delicious sauce all around. Comes with taro chips, they're crisp and yummy. On the other 2 plates with upcharged and tried the fries and the cole slaw and I'm so glad we did. The fries are amazingly "crispity" - just quality, flavorful and extra crisp. The cole slaw was homemade and not drowning in mayo. Not pictured, we tried the fried pickles and soft pretzel basket - so yummy, came with a cheese sauce and a zesty ranch - perfect start and not too big to fill up too much. It's your old school, good bar food. Friendly staff, who was attentive. Overall a great staple on Main Street, worth the try. I know I'm the evenings they often have live music and other entertainment too. read more

This place is the run of the mill sports bars. The food is OK. They have two bars. On the right side it gets super crowded. On the left side it's supposed to be upscale and more classy. However, the barstool are the cheapest barstools you can buy, and they all are different heights. That is the most annoying thing in my life. Barstool that don't sit straight, or are different heights. That is the most annoying thing I've ever encountered at a restaurant or bar. However, the bar back who is actually a server who is bartending is very good and friendly and efficient. The two other people that were sitting at the bar were also very cordial and gregarious.I ordered a Reuben sandwich with extra sauerkraut but, it did not have extra sauerkraut. Became with taro before and they are so yummy. I do recommend coming to this restaurant because it's just nice to be in a quiet space that has good spirits. My humble regards, K.David read more

My wife and I had dinner at Chambers on Saturday 2/24. Food was pretty good. Waitress did a nice job and was friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, when we got up to leave, I left a cap in the booth. When we got home 15 minutes later and I realized that I had forgotten to pick up the cap, I called the restaurant. The hostess, who was very nice, looked right then and found the cap in the booth; she told me she would put it behind the bar for safekeeping until I could retrieve it. Now, let me say that it was a very nice hat that my wife had just given me for Christmas: brown, wool, patchwork design, ball cap style from Italy. Goes for $65-$70. So, when I showed up the next day, less than an hour after they opened, the hat could not be found. An employee looked and then the owner, who took my cell number and said he'd check further with employees and get back to me. He didn't, I called there twice since then and haven't heard anything back. I don't normally complain, and I'm not looking for a free meal. It just would've been nice to get a call back. And, since I went back to get the hat less than 24 hours later , we all know that somebody on the staff must have taken it. Sorry to have to say that, but sure looks like it. Like I said at the outset, the food was good, the waitstaff friendly and efficient, but we're probably not going back... read more

We came for dinner on a Saturday night. We sat in the main bar are at a high top by the window. It was a cool dinner spot. Good for people watching. I had the NY Strip with blue cheese.

Fantastic options for taco Tuesday, flavors were great and unique. But holy s*** is the bartender useless. 1 star for him. Had his back turned to everyone the whole time, left for too long and left bar unattended and then came back with a chick that sat down to drink and socialize with him with another group of people. Waited way too long to check in with us. We're fully prepared and wanted to order more food and drinks but didn't because of the bartender annoying us. If you want good tacos definitely go, but don't sit at the bar. read more

Chambers 19 Bistro and Bar should just drop the Bistro from their name because clearly this is not a place to eat but only drink. Having been to this restaurant many times over the years it was always a place for a dependable meal. Not great but a good solid meal. Yesterday's meal however was so abysmal that it was barely edible. The guacamole was brown and old. The fish was overcooked and completely dried up. The " rice pilaf " was rice with some chopped carrots. This is a place we will not be returning to. read more

The service is average and the drink menu is misleading. The after dinner drink menu has 2 prices per drink but does not explain them. If you order one of the after dinner drinks as anything on the rocks they will charge you for a double automatically without tell and/or asking if you want a single or double. I thought I was ordering a $35 drink, instead it ended up being $70. Nothing on the menu indicated asking for the drink on the rocks would automatically turn it into a double nor was I informed of the same when I ordered the drink. Fraudulent read more

Was not impressed at all being in the center of Doylestown. I was expecting a lot more. Food was mediocre at best. I ordered blackened salmon with asparagus and white rice. The salmon was not blackened, just tons of pepper, the asparagus wasn't even cooked and the rice was hard. My margarita was very watered down. The restaurant was very loud and the service was slow and kept forgetting our orders. I definitely will not be returning. Very disappointed! Oh, and my S'more lava cake was dry and flavorless. That's all. read more

I'd like to give a shout out to Mr. Justin Mannato for the customer service he provided to me when I was in need of a last minute venue for a small wedding gathering. He was super calming of my nerves about the quick planning process and was willing to accommodate all of my needs at a reasonable price. He was super flexible and that is not easy to come by. He also was very good at quickly interpreting what I was asking for and making helpful adjustments. I'd highly recommend Chambers 19 for a medium-sized gathering of friends, family, or coworkers. Also, having been a resident of Doylestown since 2016, I can attest that this place is a wonderful neighborhood spot, day or night. The food is tasty, the menu is diverse, and you will be supporting a wonderful local business by going there. Thanks again! read more

We dined on Saturday night at an outside table on the sidewalk. It was definitely loud but it was also loud inside with a party going on. We were told right up front that they were short of help. Not exactly what you want to hear. How does there issue become the customer's issue? Food was good. Not spectacular but good. Service was fair. We would definitely go back but maybe during the week. read more

Not sure how but the French onion soup was cold, then my disgusting chicken fajita was cold as well, I guess I discovered they don't know how to cook. My wife's cheesesteak was very good and so was my son's burger, maybe they didn't like me. read more

Had a surprisingly great meal and drinks here with family this past weekend. Spur of the moment plans bought us into town and hubs who grew up in this town haven't been to "this side" of Chambers (unsure what that really means) in years. With no reservation - we fortunately got one of the last booths, as it was really crowded on a Friday later in the evening. (to be expected). Our server was a friendly young lady, who made several recommendations or commented oh good choices. The mac n cheese app was delicious. The candied bacon/short rib on top really elevated this dish beyond your standard adult mac n cheese. Onion petals standard, the dipping sauce was great though. Pretzel sticks, food service item, and the pickles were good - again great dipping sauces. I've been on a fish and chips kick since taking the month off dieting, and this fish and chips did not disappoint one bit. The fish batter was great, held on the fish as I cut into it, and held its crunch perfectly till the end. The "chips" - fries - were alil on the softer side, would have liked them more crispy but that's just a personal preference and I'm sure they steamed a bit under the giant piece of fish. Hubs and cousin in law's hub loved their burg, cooked perfectly to their request. Cousin loved his quesadilla and finished it off without complaint. Again, our server did a fantastic job keeping our rounds of drinks on speed and checked in with us at just the perfect pace - hats off to her as it was extremely busy. After the kitchen closed and we stuck around for "just one more" drink - i got in line for the restroom and quickly realized there was a major confrontation about to happen (nose to nose!) so I ran to get a bouncer/doorman. I encountered first kitchen staff and shouted that I needed a bouncer - he quickly waved me around into the hallway and grabbed a younger tall guy (think he was a barback also) and the bartender quickly ran over to diffuse the situation using soft skill rather than brute force. They made me feel safe and confident that I could continue my evening at the establishment Def. a spot I look forward to returning to - we all had a great time, eating, drinking, and enjoying the atmosphere! read more

The bouncers are super weird and agressive. They also have an uninviting atmosphere for the LBGTQ community. Music is ehh. Mom's is definitely better. read more

I am sorry to review Chambers as low since I live right in Dtown and always go here as a great "go to" with good food and service. Went Sunday for early dinner and such a disappointment. Ordered surf and turf. No clue how to cook the meat. Thinking the nice guy that runs the bar is cooking? Cold and tough. No knife could get through it. And no offer for a steak knife. When sister in laws streak was rare that she asked for well done they took it back to kitchen and left her cold mashed potatoes and veggies. Could they think to reheat her sides? When that came back outside browned and inside rare. Was a disgrace. Very amateur people running this show. Service ok though could waitress have checked this. Still gave decent tip for bad meal. Disappointed read more

Going to Chambers this evening with friends. Have not been here in several years so we were definitely looking forward to coming back. Loved the warm cozy updated bar area. My friend and I both ordered the seafood with pasta dish and were looking forward to the "lobster, shrimp and crab meat" with pasta entrée. The crab meat was nonexistent and the "lobster" consisted of the scrapings left over from the shell. My friends entrée was heavy with pasta while mine was very soupy. Since we were dining with friends, I did not want to send the dinner back and embarrass them. I do not usually complain, but when I order a meal I at least anticipate that it will be delivered as advertised. I know these times are trying and difficult. However, At least I expect what I pay for and nothing more. I find Chambers using deceptive marketing. If they are unable to deliver what they advertised, take it off the menu. Better to have a smaller selection than to lose customers. I am sure my opinion and review will not make a difference, but I still feel compelled to express my severe disappointment with our meal selections this evening. read more
