    Chips and queso
    Kyle C.

    Very disappointing from the start. The table was sticky and filthy, with remnants of old napkins stuck to it. The Bloody Mary, called the "FILTHY MARY" ($17), was described as a Bloody Mary infused with house spices and seasonings, including Tito's Handmade Vodka, tomato juice, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon. It tasted like the ingredients were pulled off a Walmart shelf and tossed into a glass. I would recommend they invest in a proper mix like Zing Zang. The chips and queso were simply bagged tri-color chips with a small crock of cheese. The Caesar salad was below average--bagged croutons, random stems of lettuce, and an oddly sweet dressing. The brisket mac and cheese was especially disappointing. While the portion was large and the mac was OK at best, the brisket was shameful: small cubes of tough, rubbery meat. I didn't eat it--it wasn't worth taking.

    The Frontier Tavern is a frontal addition to an old (1804?) section of the resort. It is basically a high class bar which serves really good food. The servers we had at our 3 meals there were all wonderful; gracious, friendly, and checked on us frequently. I'll post a menu of the Tavern during our stay there. Behind the upper portion of the Tavern is the original Tavern kitchen, chicken full of both original furnishings reclaimed by donation following the hotel's 21 closure beginning about 1986. There were also authentic period pieces. I love history and historic places, so this upper level was right up my alley. They gave several large televisions playing sports channels, but fortunately not obnoxiously loudly. I saw no drunken behavior nor overly loud customers. The tables are small, yet cozy. This would seem a splendid place to visit for happy hour. The Frontier Tavern lies within what I would consider a 5 star luxury resort, thus don't expect inexpensive. I don't mind paying for quality, and this place is high class.

    The hostess was nice and accommodating. I sat outside which was nice except when outside expect flies and ants. The server was good. I mentioned I was in a hurry and he had the food sent out fast. The pulled pork was on par with other places, not outstanding. Lovely venue.

    Finding a good meal in Bedford proves challenging. Ate here twice w/ mixed results. Ordered Pub Chips appetizer. Kind enough to sub French fries (for a girl w/ braces unable to risk razor sharp potato chards) & they were divine. Generous amount of cheese sauce (that wasn't synthetic tasting) & sprinkle of crumbled bacon & green onions. (Ranch may have been present & just melted in). Ordered Smash Burger, it was not "smash" style, but a damn good burger w/ nice smoky, meaty, flavor topped w/ cheddar & charred onions & peppers. Husband ordered Jubilee Farms Burger (same patties as "Smash" Burger) w/ sweet potato fries & reported both very good. Day 2 ordered a Chicken Schnitzel-Piccata that was neither Schnitzel nor Piccata- bland, a little greasy, disappointing. Breaded chicken breast w/ side of un-sauced spaghetti- no detectable wine, butter, lemon, herbs? Nothing wrong w/ a hybrid dish, but u can't just fry a cutlet & dump tomatoes & mushrooms on top.

    Dining at the Frontier Tavern was the most disappointing part of our stay at the resort. My wife and I each got burgers that were overcooked (cooked medium-well, ordered medium-rare), rubbery, and tasteless. The salad was good, except for the large chunks of red onion. I'd ordered one of the seasonal drafts, an IPA, with my meal and was brought a stout. The server assured me it was an IPA, despite its black as night appearance and milky taste, and then conceded the taps may not be correct. She offered to replace it with another beer so I ordered a Yuengling. I was charged for the more expensive beer I'd originally ordered. We split a piece of the 17-layer chocolate cake for dessert, which was okay. I was in disbelief when the check arrived and that slice was a whopping $16; nearly as much as our entrees. This place is horrifically overpriced for the poor quality food they're serving. Based on that experience, figuring the restaurants share staff/kitchens/ingredients, we ate our dinners elsewhere for the rest of our stay.

    The sirloin steak is very good. I liked the fries as well. The gnocchi was good but a little too garlicky and I would have liked some bread to go with it. The pub chips were good. The portions are huge, especially if you are just eating for one.

    I'm at the hotel for a conference and stopped in for a quick dinner. I was immediately seated and Kelly was my server. I told her I hadn't eaten lunch and was starving. She took my order with ease and brought me the app I ordered super fast. Then my pasta and I asked for bread to go with it and again, Kelly delivered. She was attentive and thoughtful. Even brought me an iced tea to take back to my room. The chips I had to start were good. I liked the sweet balsamic and salty chips. The pasta was also tasty. I would have liked a bit more pesto but the veggies were perfectly cooked and it was the perfect portion size. I'm sure I'll be going back tomorrow night and I hope I'll have Kelly as my server again.

    Stopped here recently for a dinner- clear evening with a little brisk bite to the air. I had been here for a wedding, and some golf years ago, but hadn't done good yet. There are several places to eat and drink in Bedford Springs- and this is a more casual spot that I have been told by the experts. Started with a mixed drink - Crown Apple mule, which was very good and had just enough alcohol to give a kick but not take me back to college when I'd wake up on the kitchen table at our apartment with nothing on but a pasta strainer and coin changer. For an appetizer, we shared crab spinach artichoke dip which came with what I would say were homemade chips? that were thicker than store bought stuff. We decided to eat light and get a couple of salads - me going with the chicken Caesar salad which was tasty but could've used a little more dressing.

    I had dinner here and ordered the hamburger with onion rings. It was delicious and filling after sitting and drinking at the pool in the afternoon. I was a bit confused on the mask policy as my waiter had a mask on but under his chin when he served my food

    The staff at the frontier tavern is some of the best at the Omni Bedford springs. During our visit, we ate here a couple times because it's one of only a few lunch places on the grounds, as well as the only place open past 10:00 for drinks. Each person who waited on us or brought us our order was extremely friendly and polite. Always saying you're welcome, please, my pleasure. They really know how to make you feel like an honored guest. As for the menu; it's nothing too extravagant. A limited selection of which is really over priced. We had a few things & liked everything we ordered, but everything was pricy. $7 for a tiny cup of chicken noodle soup... not worth it in my opinion. The drinks are expensive as well. The tavern has a pretty awesome drink menu though. I highly recommend the champagne cobbler. They also carry one of my favorite beers, white lightening. The decor in the tavern is pretty cool. Sitting inside reminds me of playing the game Clue. Very old fashion, couches and chairs to lounge on, lots of wood, & a lot of little stairs. I also enjoyed that the tavern had outdoor seating as well. Although it was expensive, I will be back because of the excellent service and unique atmosphere.

    Have you ever made an incredible discovery, but not wanted to share it with anyone else, lest your…read morespecial spot lose some of its magic? That's how I feel about Village News. However, I'm terrible about keeping secrets. Plus, especially in this challenging business climate, local shops need all the support they can get. If you are a beer lover who enjoys rare and aged bottles of hard to find or out of production beers, this unassuming spot has a remarkable and delightful selection of brews I never expected to stumble upon in a tiny Pennsylvania town. Part of me wanted to buy everything and find a way to schlep it all back to Michigan. Instead, I chose to just get what I could enjoy on this trip, and save the other bottles for those fortunate souls who might learn of the treasures that await inside. I got: The latest vintage (2020) Bourbon County Barrel Stout, but the Kentucky Fog variant which I had never seen before. It was the best BCBS I've had to date. A large format bottle of Goose Island Halia from 2016 which was simply delightful! It was drinking perfectly, and I was tempted to go back and see if they had any more. A large format bottle of Goose Island Lolita from 2016, which was also drinking well, and was a pure pleasure with the integrity of the raspberries holding up to the years. A New Belgium La Folie from 2017, which I had the chance to try back in 2017, so it was super fun to taste a funkier version of it with more years in the bottle. The Smuttlabs Brett & I may not have held up quite so well since its 2016 bottling. Most of the carbonation had dissipated. That said, its brightness was the perfect pairing for some charcuterie back at the family farm. Similarly the Wild Devil Brett IPA from Victory Brewing, aged in red wine barrels, didn't quite hold up as well to the years. However, it was still fun to drink. But I didn't even scratch the surface. I asked the bartender if I could take a snapshot of the beer list to show my friends in case they wanted additional bottles. She said yes. And since I consider so many folks in the Yelp Community to be my friends, here it is. Hopefully I can make it back to Bedford in December. All I ask is that you leave me a couple of bottles so I can try some more rare and old beers without having to stand in line with the bearded masses of craft beer chasers. The weird gray market of beer trading is just not my scene.

    Stopped for a quick lunch. Salad portion was a bit small, but the coffee was delicious.read more

    We made a stop here on a recent visit to Bedford Springs while we were staying at the Omni resort…read more We mostly stayed on property but wanted to explore town on our last day. As soon as I saw this place, it seemed like the perfect mix of everything we love. Several of the businesses in downtown Bedford are closed on Sunday so I was thrilled to see this spot stayed open late, especially for a small town. I came here with my partner and two kids. They were super kid friendly and were so kind to us during our stay. My partner and I got wine, and loved there was a happy hour special which I didn't even realize when ordering. The owner was very friendly and let us try several wines before committing, which I always appreciate. We lived in California for over 15 years, recently making our way back to the east coast. I could tell the selection was really thought through. And was excited to see that they carried a bottle from one of my favorite vineyards in the much overlooked Paso Robles wine region of southern California. The space is very comfy inside with plenty of seating options including plush chairs and couches as well as traditional table seating. We grabbed a spot on the couch and had the best time playing the many games they offer to visitors. My kids were hungry and devoured the cheese and charcuterie plate. They also were very amused by putting together a giant puzzle as well as getting a tour of the on-site art studio where an artist was working during our visit. This was truly a highlight of our time in Bedford. We hope that we can get back again soon to experience it again.

    I've only had the opportunity to pop into Composition Art & Wine Bar briefly to pick up a bottle of…read morewine, but color me impressed! It's been an adventure watching downtown Bedford grow as a culinary community. Once upon a time, not even all that long ago, the idea of finding a great bottle of wine from a well curated selection would have been unheard of. Yet, that is what awaits at Composition. Even better... every bottle that is on the shelf is available to taste! The secret is their wine tap set up, which can pull samples from bottles and replace the volume with inert gas. Which also means Composition has a killer wine-by-the-glass program. Bravo! I was able to pick up a bottle of Seghesio Zinfandel. Just know that the selection isn't huge. But there will be folks who can help you find something you love. It's not a place to go in looking for something specific, but rather to go in with some ideas and be open to the possibilities. Next time, I would love to stay for a glass in their cozy and homey tasting room, and try some of the cheeses and meats they have on offer. They have imported comte, and will happily send you off with a quarter pound of sliced bresaola... in Bedford! What I love is that Bedford is no longer a one horse town with the Italian import store across the street. It's marvelous to see more options for folks to expand their culinary horizons. Outside of Bedford, Composition may be closer to a 4* wine bar, but they are getting a bonus point for bravely opening in a place that isn't exactly a wine town, and bringing some big love to the block.
