Definitely recommend the Harmony Inn! We had reservations for 4 @ 7 pm on Saturday, they were very busy, but we were seated promptly. The hostess was friendly and courteous. The food was absolutely delicious! And our waitress was one of THE BEST servers we have ever had! KUDOS to Michelle!!! She was friendly and efficient. She has an OUTSTANDING personality! It was such a Joy to have her wait on us. She loves her job and it is reflected in the service she gave. We started off with the soft pretzels and the potato pancakes for appetizers. More than enough for 4 people to share! Very good. I should have asked for more of the apple chutney to go with the pancakes, but we used some of the cheese and the mustard from the pretzels, which was also very delicious! My husband had the steak spaetzle, it was done to perfection. and delectable! Two of us had the Chef's special, a pan-seared Parmesan-crusted Walleye... and it was ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE! Perfectly seared and seasoned. We applaud you, Chef, for the excellence of your dish! All-in-all, it was a wonderful evening out for the four of us. We will definitely return and we HIGHLY recommend others to patronize! read more

I love this place. The vibe here is something to be felt. I can't describe it. Our food was on point, and so was Brittany. Love the atmosphere and I love the employees. Great job, and the prime rib? Omg. read more

We were hoping to enjoy a meal on the patio and were so disappointed to find that there was no enforcement of proper mask wearing by the waitstaff. I understand that the patrons needn't wear masks while eating and drinking and the tables themselves were appropriately spaced to allow for that. But the waitstaff should be wearing masks at all times...properly. Both indoors and outdoors. Below the nose is useless folks. But I suspect you are well aware of that. We left without ordering dinner. Won't be going back. read more

If I could give 4.5 stars I would. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is great. Beautiful building, kind friendly staff! Very unique building: old mansion converted into restaurant. Ate upstairs in what would have been one of the old bedrooms .... it was so cute. Steak salad was delicious ..... boyfriends burger looked amazing. Beers on tap are numerous over 25 locally crafted beers. Staff was so friendly and nice ! My only complaint is that the service was a little slow ..... but with great food , great drinks and friendly staff .... it wasn't a problem.... we enjoyed the experience even if it was a little slow. It was relaxing and very enjoyable! Great place will be back! read more

I ate here twice last week, once for dinner and once for lunch. The building is an old mansion turned inn and pub turned current restaurant. It has retained all of its historic touches and is nestled along one of the main streets of the very quaint town of Harmony. Wednesday when we went for a late dinner there was a band playing outside so we opted to sit on the upstairs patio. This is such a great location. We were able to look over the balcony to the outdoor patio below and hear the music perfectly. Actually it was still a little loud so I think sitting on the patio would have been too noisy for dinner. That night we had a fantastic waiter. We let him choose the beers for our beer flight (six 5oz beers for $10! Deal!) which are all either county or state brewed. My favorite was the Dingleberry. It reminded me of Framboise. For dinner we started with their soft pretzels (my weakness) and they were served with two sauces: one a cheese and the other a mustard vinegarette. They were delectable. For my entree I ordered the shrimp and scallop dinner with a salad and potato pancakes. This is their most expensive item on the menu at $28. The house salad I had with their homemade ranch dressing. It was excellent. The potato pancakes I had with sour cream. You must try them. They are cooked perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The shrimp and scallops came on skewers and were grilled. The portion size was ok but they were dressed in a rosemary/thyme sauce that really did not compliment fish. For lunch on Saturday we sat outside on the patio. I ordered a Dingleberry pint. We also had the pretzels again. There was a very long wait for our drinks and order. For my entree I got the fish sandwich. When our waitress brought our order she asked if we could close our check because her shift was ending. Reluctantly we said yes because she was worried about getting the tip. When she came back with the credit card I told her that I was unhappy with my meal. I never ever complain unless it is a serious issue. Well something went wrong in the fryer because the thick bread coating on the fish was soft and laden with oil. When I cut into the sandwich a mixture of oil and water came rushing out. It really was inedible. So I told her and she looked at me not knowing what to do. So she had to go get her manager. The manager came over and I showed her. The manager was fantastic, so pleasant. I apologized for having to complain but she made me feel so at ease. She said she really appreciates feedback because that helps them improve. What a nice surprise to be treated so kindly. She agreed that there was an error. I then had to explain to her that we had already had to cash out, etc. So she had to re-run the bill. By this time since it took so long for our drinks, app and then to finally get our food we didn't have time to wait around for a new sandwich so she deducted it. All in all this is a great place to enjoy an afternoon or evening. Even though I didn't have luck on my dinner or lunch entrees that doesn't mean I wouldn't return. The ambiance, pretzels, potato pancakes and specialty beers definitely make it worthwhile. read more

Always a pleasant experience... relaxing atmosphere, a diverse selection fresh, well-prepared food, and a friendly, helpful staff. All the things you expect for an exceptional dining experience. I am offering this review a month after our last visit, so I am not recalling a lot of details. But I can recommend the Inn for lunch or dinner without any hesitation. read more

I just love this place. The town it's in, the restored house setting, the great beer list- it's all wonderful. The first time I was here was Halloween of last year. And while it gets REALLY busy during that time, I highly recommend stopping in. The house is allegedly haunted, and it's just spooky enough to delight. The food is German through and through. Big, hearty meals, some interesting selections, and I've never had a bad meal here. This time around I went out of my comfort zone and ordered chicken and waffles- and I wasn't disappointed. Harmony Inn has a nice outdoor seating area, too. It's nestled in a little village so there isn't much around it, but it's a place you can go and stay all night. Parking is limited, but there is plenty of street parking since it is in a residential neighborhood. read more

Excellent food, great service and great selection of beer. The Apple Dumpling is amazing read more

Went again with friends from our community. Food was very good. Speatzel was very good. German influenced menu is very diverse. there is something for everyone. I hsd a turkey devenshire, what makes it remarkable is the beer cheese sauce, which was excellent, dont miss the pretzel appetizer. great dipping sauces go great with their craft beer, I had the Firehouse ale, which was excellent, I also had the stone-house stout. tasted like Guinness, which I also like, seemed to have the distinctive qualities of nitrogen based beer, good, but not what I expected from microbrew stout. I have also had Bucksnort Stout, which is excellent. This spot is unique, and well worth going out of your way to experience. ther permitting, I suggest seating on thier outdoor patio, which is wonderful. Food is consistently good. And a great place for traditional German specialties! read more

First impressions are important and they win there! Food quality is good. Perhaps as a German my expectations are higher, I'll stop there. Service was average at best, maybe have a waitstaff exclusive to the 2nd floor and that would improve wait times for requests or acknowledgement of refills. I believe in supporting local and will continue cause I believe in what they offer, just providing honest feedback. read more

This is my favorite place when I return to Zelienople! They have a gluten free bun that is to die for, and the best burgers around. They also have a yummy gluten free dessert called peanut butter pie that's like a huge dark chocolate Resees. So if you have a gluten allergy they're pretty great for dining. Servers always friendly and many comfy outdoor spots to dine. Indoors is pretty as well. read more

Decided to take a ride north of Pittsburgh to see how fall colors were doing - not so well it turns out. Made sense to stop here for lunch and it was great. Jaegerschnitzle with mashed potatoes and very good German potato salad. Excellent and plenty of leftovers for lunch/dinner today. Very good beer, great service and highly recommended read more

This place is amazing. Staff is great and the food awesome. We sat at a window and had a nice view of the birds and squirrels outside. There's a great outside bar and lots of tables and seating. Would highly recommend eating here. read more

Came here on the recommendation of my brother. We sat outside and it was pretty warm. We also had a new server that took a bit longer than we may have liked to get our orders and get everything out to us but the rest of the staff helped her out and overall it wasn't really a bad experience. Just a little lengthy. My wife got a pretzel that was just okay. Really salty, way more salty than I am into for pretzels and it was harder than expected. Not quite the soft pretzel I had in mind. Mustard that comes with it was good, just a little spicy. But, that wasn't unexpected. Cheese sauce with it was also just okay, too much beer flavor for my taste. Got a chicken pot pie which was really flaky and delicious. They had a white gravy which was light and it all came super hot. Also got mashed potatoes which were okay, the gravy with them was a little more beer flavored than I may have liked. My wife got an apple cider drink that came warm and was really delicious. I imagine on a cold day this really hits the spot but even in the heat it was pretty enjoyable. Brings fall back to memory. I also had a cider mule that was pretty good. Well mixed, great flavor but for the price it was pretty small. For dessert we got the apple dumpling and the blueberry strudel. The dumpling was amazing. Again, really flaky pastry with a great cinnamon apple filling. Ice cream, served separate, really brings the dish full circle on fall comfort dessert. The blueberry strudel was even better. Light and thin and a perfect balance of flavors. we were so on board with that! Would be interested to try this place again and see how it checks out on a second visit. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is always good. The outside patio is very enjoyable and relaxing

We placed our name and number for table outside and was told it would be 10-15min. and that we would be texted when ready. After 15 minutes of walking around Harmony we checked back in with Hostess. She informed us that I had canceled reservation. When I explained I did not get a text she told me I was wrong and must have. Instead of taking care of us, she made us put our name back in which we immediately got a text that our names were in system. She either did not enter us correctly or entered the wrong number. We were finally seated and I ordered a Bloody Mary as it looked great on the menu. You can see by the pictures, what was on the menu was not even close to what I actually got. No bacon, celery nor pepperoncinis. I would have said something to the waitress if I had any indication that she cared about our experience. On a positive note, the pretzel appetizer was wonderful which accounts for the two stars. Very disappointed. read more

Used to be one of our favorite restaurants. The food was awful all the way around this time. Pulled pork was mushy, chicken was chewy. Fries were cold and mushy. And since when do you pay $3 on top of a kids meal for a tiny kids drink??? And all the manager offered was 75% off one meal and couldn't even be bothered to drag their ass to the table to apologize or anything!!!!!!! Will not be back! read more

Harmony is a charming little town to visit. The Inn was a perfect spot to eat for a birthday brunch. We were able to sit on the patio and enjoy the nice weather and pretty surroundings. I ordered the Sweet Tang salad and it was delicious! They are very generous with toppings (and dressing) If you don't like a lot of dressing be sure to mention that. I have a nut allergy and they were able to leave the pecans off of the salad. The apple slices I ordered with my sons food were huge! It seemed that they gave him an entire apple. It was great compared to what some places consider apple slices. Everyone enjoyed the food and service we received. This will be a new favorite spot of ours. read more

During a visit 8/22/2020 we made a reservation outside on the patio. Confirmed outside seating using Open Table Upon our group arriving we were told if we wanted outside seating even with our confirmed outside seating ...we would be required to be placed at the bottom of the waiting list = 60 minutes. This was for a retirement dinner. Management was requested to call which did not happen. Service was excellent! Food good! Biggest concern was people in our party were immune compromised which was the reason for confirmed outdoor seating. Management being unconcerned... it will be a very long time until we take guest or revisit this establishment. Disappointed given the current state of the economy management was so cavalier. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere. It's in a lovely little area. Parking could be labeled better. I came from out of town, so luckily I guessed right. read more

This restaurant is great. The menu is based off of German food, which is really tasty. I always love the spaetzel as a side. The building is gorgeous, and with the huge windows, it's a great way to enjoy all the fall colors. The bar is really cool and has a great vibe. read more

I have always loved Harmony Inn and frequent there very often. Today will be my last time ever setting foot in Harmony Inn and I will insure everyone I know will no longer go there. While enjoying a nice meal with my husband,2 yr old son,4 DAY old daughter,and in laws a drunk patron decided to throw coasters as hard as possible in our direction at my newborn daughter. Luckily I was the one hit buy the coasters. The drink man apologized and all but begged my husband not to beat him to death,but the bartender and manager did nothing. The drunk patron continued to get sloshed and the bartender stood staring at us like we were the ones that took away her brain. How pathetic of an establishment that does nothing to correct the wrong and loses us as a family who very often goes there. Pathetic place so disappointed. read more

I had the Reuben it was delicious and my boyfriend had the hamburger and it was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent the staff was friendly. This place is beautiful both inside and out read more

I went here with my parents and wife on mother's day for lunch. We were looking to try something different and enjoy small town restaurants like the Harmony Inn. I had perviously visited an associated restaurant, North Country Brewery and loved the food there. The Harmony Inn was a little disappointing compared to my previous experience at North Country. The old building was converted into a restaurant, formerly a hotel (and a very old one at that). Its deceivingly larger than it looks, and I wish the restaurant provided a little historical write up as part of their menu. Sadly that was not the case, but the inside was quite clearly still dressed up in an 1800s style. Some wireless speakers were in our room playing some indie rock (love it!). I ordered the swine load sandwich which came with bacon, ham, and pulled pork. It came with one side so I had the sweet tang salad. To my dislike, the salad was an up charge even though it was listed as one of the sides. I don't mind paying extra for something I want, but don't list something as a side that comes with a meal then up charge for it. However, the sweet tang salad was amazing! By far my favorite part of the meal. The goat cheese, strawberries, and balsamic dressing was such a tasty mix! The sandwich was not very good though. I'm not sure how pork, bacon, and ham aren't awesome together, but they weren't on this sandwich. My mother had the chicken pot pie which she thought was OK and my wife had a bowl of ham and potato soup with the black forest sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall not impressed by this place but not opposed to coming back. There aren't too many German restaurants like this in the area. Its a shame the salad was awesome, but the sandwich was sub par. The staff here looked a little disorganized and we had somewhat lengthy intervals between visits from the wait staff. I really want to like this place more because there is so much potential here. read more

I can't say enough good things about Harmony Inn! Reservations are a must during prime times. The staff was super friendly and the building is historic and really neat. Harmony was founded by the Harmonists, a religious sect from Germany. They eventually left Harmony and moved to Economy, in Ambridge. All of the food is German or German-inspired. The beer is from North Country Brewing in Slippery Rock. The food was super tasty. I had a taste of 3 other dishes besides my own and they were all fresh, hot, and tasted great. I look forward to returning! read more

Disappointing food, ok service. Bland greasy food, needed more napkins to wipe our hands after having the Pretzel, asparagus was swimming in oil. Asparagus! Wiener schnitzel was only edible after taking off the thick greasy breading. Charming building that's not your cookie cutter building , maybe a place to stop for a beer but skip the food. read more

The food has gone way downhill since COVID. I am not sure if they have a new chef or what but we just eat there and it was not very good. The food in the past was always good. read more

Nice outdoor seating area, food was great, lots of good beers available.

Went here for dinner with some friends. The atmosphere and overall vibe is awesome! You literally get to eat inside an old Inn and they left everything very original. It's like eating in a museum. The service was also great and the dinners were good. The appetizers were amazing...pretzels and bacon wrapped scallops. The sirloin steak was ok, and their burgers are delicious (make sure you try their pasture perfect meat choice). I also sampled the baked cod which was good too. We tried 3 desserts...german chocolate cake (ok), the apple dumpling (ok) and the s'mores strudel (amazing!). Overall, the experience was great and we would definitely try this place again in the future. They don't take reservations so check out the great bar side while you wait for a table. read more

Despite missing near half the items on the menu due to the pandemic, I still had a fantastic experience. Our server went above and beyond to make the most of the situation. They ran out of cherry Pepsi and made it from scratch for us without anyone asking. 10/10 service. The Reuben sandwich, though not what I wanted (they were out of spatzle), was a pleasant surprise and I would happily order it again. Once the pandemic dies down and they can work out the supply issues, I am excited to try more items on the menu. The only issue keeping me from leaving 5 stars is the smoking policy. The atmosphere was near perfect, except for having to inhale multiple other patrons' secondhand smoke while trying to enjoy my meal. Outdoor smoking nearly spoils the otherwise fantastic ambiance the Inn is trying to provide. Very few businesses in the area, especially other upmarket restaurants, allow any smoking on their premises. Change this policy and the dining experience here will truly be hard to beat between the food, the historic setting, and the service. That said, I still had an overall enjoyable experience and am looking forward to returning, hopefully with a full menu and smoke-free. read more

Pluses are nice atmosphere, great beer, service excellent, prices generally reasonable. Minuses are food was fair, nothing special. Mixed drinks were weak, maybe an off night? I'll come back when weather permits eating outside on the very nice patio. read more

Went for my mother's birthday dinner. There were only 8 in our party and the meal took almost 2 hours. Very long wait times for drinks, then cold seafood fondue appetizer, long wait for entrees. Served entrees with very little flavor. The spaetzle was awful. The German potato salad was some of the worst I've ever had. So disappointed. For the prices they are charging, customers should be served food prepared by properly trained chefs and serviced by a decent waitstaff. My advice would be to remove all German food from the menu, they cannot execute it. read more

As a visitor from Kansas City, this was a great place to go for a family dinner. The Cajun Fire Sticks and Jerk Shrimp Sticks were to die for. Prices for food were reasonable. Drink prices were a little expensive - six dollars for a local beer. However, I must say the beer was great with a wide variety of selections. Recommend the Oberon and Strawberry Wheat beers. Service was great. Our waitress, Cassandra, went above and beyond to make sure we had the food we needed. We went an hour before closing and although the kitchen was closing, she made sure we had every dish we wanted, including the PB and Banana and Jelly Strudel which was fantastic. Dad had the salmon which he enjoyed. The German potato salad was a bit sweet. I had the buffalo Blue burger that had the great zest of Buffalo, but still was a burger that did not make me feel full. Both sisters enjoyed their meals, and the meat for all our meals was cooked to perfection. We sat outdoors and loved it. Would recommend this place to everyone visiting the area! read more

Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, great beer and cider selection. Worth the stop in

Admittedly, it's been several years since I last patronized the Harmony Inn, but I enjoyed the experience every time I went. It's a historic site in the small town of Harmony, PA where I attended high school. As a point of reference for anyone not from the area, it's about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh. The Harmony Inn is not just an old house-turned-hotel-turned-restaurant, but is also locally famous for being haunted. Now, I personally don't have a definitive opinion one way or the other on the subject, but I admit that it is an attractive factor! I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to go to dinner in an old inn that is certainly not decrepit, but supposedly brimming with old spirits? That said, the menu is really quite unique. They have classic American faire, but also focus on two other types of cuisine: Mexican and German. The German I get, because Pennsylvania has a rich German-Polish heritage and the neighboring town of Zelienople was founded by Germans. But the Mexican? Color me puzzled, but I've sampled both types of food there twice and I liked it. I remember they even used to offer Rocky Mountain Oysters (which are definitely NOT seafood) on the appetizer menu back in the day around 2000 or 2001, but every time my Dad tried to order, they were out. At any rate, if you find yourself in Western PA looking to eat somewhere unique to the area, seek out the Harmony Inn. read more

Everything is great except the wifi. I called in advance to make sure they had it, but when I arrived to have a beer, dinner, and (key words) get some work done, it was terrible. I was stuck in Butler all day and had a four-hour break. NCBC was closing early so I came here, knowing it was the same owners. Please fix the wifi... Young professionals work remotely and like good beer to accompany the monotony of the tasks that give them the resources to drink good beer. Thanks!! UPDATE (2-12-16) I got the following private message from Bill B. today: Nothing angers me more than people who give restaurants poor ratings for things that have nothing to do with the food or service. WiFi does not deliver your food nor does it cook it. As far as WiFi, you go there to eat not to use your computer. If WiFi is what you're looking for, go to Starbucks. Harmony Inn is a restaurant, you go there to enjoy fabulous food. Next time you go to a restaurant go for the food not the WiFi or quit downgrading them for it not meeting your expectations. So, let me reply publicly: Bill, you maybe didn't read my original post that states I CALLED IN ADVANCE to ask if they had wifi. The restaurant actually set my expectations by telling me they had wifi, never mentioning that it possibly didn't work, when I called. I would have actually gone to Rachel's Roadhouse in Butler if I hadn't checked in with the Harmony Inn before arriving, or if they would have mentioned that sometimes their wifi is spotty. Rachel's has equally good food, beer and wifi. It would have been a 5 minute drive for me, but I like North Country Brewing and I chose to make the drive to Harmony because I could patronize the sister establishment of one that I already like that happened to be closed (I've spend many an afternoon eating and drinking at NCBB with a laptop doing work). A restaurant (or any business for that matter) is about an experience. If you have an open wifi network and tell your customers such when they call, then it should work. If I hadn't called in advance and shown up to broken wifi, then this review would have been 4 stars. Shame on me for not checking in advance, right? I mean, if you read my review, it starts, "Everything is great except the wifi." And, everything was great except the wifi ... and the fact that I called before arriving to ask about it. Eat, drink and be merry at the Harmony Inn ... it's all great. But, don't bring your laptop to get work done. read more

Haven't been here in years and we were looking for a place to have a beer and some dinner. We chose to sit in the bar - which is a preference we normally have. Service is nearly always better. So it was here. Beer selection is pretty good although I give most places demerits if they have more than two lite beers on tap. If you're drinking lite beer, you shouldn't have more than two choices. As an aside, do yourself a favor and check the calorie counts. It's not worth sacrificing taste for the minimal difference. They did have some good selections including Full Pint Chinook IPA (my choice) and Smithicks (my wife's choice). Menu is broader than in the past and now has German selections, Mexican as they always had and some traditional fare.. Prices are good and service was quick. My wife ordered jaeger schnitzel with red cabbage and spaetzle. Very good and recommended!! I chose less wisely with the veal Parmesan which was thick,tough, and grisly. Yuck. The side of pasta was inconsistent and under sauced as was the veal.. Had to search to find the sauce at all. I would avoid this dish entirely until they realize that veal has to be pounded before cooking. Every decent restaurant knows that. All in all it was a decent meal - I just made a poor choice. I'll give them another chance cause the bar atmosphere is pleasant and the prices are quite good. My real rating is 2 1/2 stars. Go for a beer and enjoy the place. Listen for the ghosts........ read more

I Ordered potato pancakes and received frozen hash browns. The very same kind McDonalds makes.
