I really like this place. It has a lot of character and the food is excellent. The owner is super personable and anytime that I've interacted with the employees. They are amazing. They always have fresh ingredients and willing to accommodate a picky eater like myself. There's ample parking and the place has a very home feeling, which is excellent. If you like dinner next to a warm fireplace then this is the place for you. We go the Kimberton Inn often and plan on going again soon! read more

Dined here the other night to celebrate an anniversary and it was such a lovely experience. The space is charming and full of character--definitely a great spot for special occasions. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and very professional. We each started with a small cup of the lobster bisque and shared the crab cakes. Both were outstanding, and the crab cake was especially memorable since it wasn't your typical style--really well done. For entrées, my boyfriend had the lamb chops and I ordered the seared sea scallops. The lamb chops were easily a 10/10! The scallops were cooked perfectly, though I personally felt the pumpkin risotto could have used more seasoning. I really wanted to try dessert but I was completely stuffed. Our waitress still insisted on bringing a complimentary scoop of ice cream, which was rich, delicious, and such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a wonderful meal and experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

Service was poor which took away from the dining experience, It took 10-15 minutes for someone to take our drink order, another 10 to receive them, only to have one incorrect drink. Service only went down from there, read more

This place is so cute! The starter bread was delish. Had the crispy artichoke appetizer and it was to die for. My husband got the sirloin, I got the scallops with saffron risotto -- both were stunning. Haven't had scallops cooked that perfectly maybe ever? Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. read more

I first came here with my high-school class at Kimberton Waldorf when we had our graduation dinner hosted here. Ever since, I'm come here for my birthday and other special day celebrations. The food here is fantastic. Everything is organic and locally sourced, so the taste and health of the food is phenomenal. My favorite cocktail is the Arctic Fox, I get it every time. The atmosphere is also perfect, the special events ballroom is great as a fancy place for private events like my graduation dinner, but my favorite place to eat is in the downstairs dining room where there is a fireplace, it's the perfect ambiance for winter. The service is great too, the waiters are polite and food is served relatively quickly for the type of food they make. I highly recommend coming here, especially in the winter. read more

One of the worst meals I've ever had from a restaurant. Mom and I ordered the same thing, the scallops and both thought it was terrible. The scallops themselves were not fresh. Very fishy smelling and almost a sour taste not sweet like they should have been. The sauce was terrible, all it tasted like was salt. The rice was greasy, over cooked and completely flavorless. I took a few bites and dumped it in the garbage disposal. The salad was mediocre. The whole thing cost $130 and we both ended up making lean cuisines. Disgraceful coming from this well established restaurant. The man who took the order was extremely rude and we even added a 10% tip for takeout. The website wasn't working where it asked for an address for a credit card, There was some New York address stuck and unable to be deleted. The packaging was very strange for a hot meal that had a sauce. It also was very difficult to transplant onto a plate. read more

My husband and I last minute decided to have dinner at this charming inn. Having food allergies our server Sara and the chef were careful making my dinner which was outstanding scallops with a tasty mashed sweet potatoes with an interesting flavor which I believe is maple syrup Our all time favorite dessert is their Belgian chocolate ice cream, shared. The Kimberton Inn has been our special restaurant for the past 46 years. read more

Always a great and consistent spot. Whether you're eating at the bar or seated at a table, the food and service is top notch. The staff knows a good bit about the food as well as having a labeled menu that clearly outlines gluten-free. They even have an almond butter cake that's gluten-free. (It's delicious) Always highly recommend the In and while it may not be the height of culinary creativity, it is top quality, consistent, and delicious. read more

Finally decided to try this place after yrs of recommendations for my BIRTHDAY!! The decor was nice and the staff were courteous, however the food was not it! The brown bread was tasty. The Beekeeper drink was good but the app and entree was terrible. The fried artichokes lacked flavor and I kept tasting something gritty like sand. I don't know if that was a sign that it was not washed thoroughly or what but I couldn't keep eating it. It came with some type of Mayo based dip that lacked freshness. It tasted old. The main entree was filet, smashed potatoes and green beans. The potatoes were chunky, cold and looked very brownish-not creamy at all. The green beans were undercooked and the quality of the filet tastes worse than grocery store meat. Not sure the source of their meat but it tasted like select. Someone who is farm to table now, I know good beef and this was not it. I could not eat it. The plate had red peppers half crunchy and half soggy with some type of sour Demi sauce on the bottom. The whole dish was just luke warm to cold and unseasoned. The waitress asked if I wanted a to go box because she could see that I wasn't eating it and I said no. I was just ready to leave. Did not even bother with dessert or complain just took the experience on the chin because I knew I was not coming back. This is def a one and done visit. I have a very distinct palate and there was no effort to this dish. Just food on a plate, no season and no flavor. I don't know what everyone was getting when they came to say it was good, but we did not experience that at all with what we were served. The plate was not even warm. Just no! read more

Kimberton Inn was dreamy and romantic. It made me feel like I was at my grandparents, but in a good way. The wood stove was so memorable. The staff made us feel welcome at their home. Their food was delectable, everything from the apps to dessert. I hope everyone gets to enjoy dinner at the Kimberton Inn! read more

I worked 30 years in fine dining F&B, this is a 5 star operation ! Very clean top to bottom, the tables set with the utmost class. Service was impeccable, staff performed every task to perfection down to every detail... and we were 100+ guests. The food was delicious the minute the fork hit my tongue and didn't let up. As a habit I always look for where I could've done better. I couldn't have. If you're looking for impeccable service, amazing food and a headache-free event, I highly recommend the Kimberton Inn. They're all about accommodating guests to the last detail. read more

Awful experience! Jeff (the owner) is a creep. He said multiple sexist things to me and my friends. $900 dinner with tip. The waitress spilled an entire glass of red wine on me and they charged me for the glass! Ruined my pants and favorite jacket. Jeff promised he'd "make it right" and to call him if I couldn't get the stains out. When I did, he said he didn't believe me and asked me to send him my pants so he could try to get the stains out?? Totally inappropriate. Now I have to buy new clothes. NEVER go here if you are a woman who wants to eat a meal in peace. read more

My wife and I and a friend went to dinner this past Sunday evening. The menu was extensive with several specials added the server greeted us if we were interested in a cocktail before dinner. We ordered a Blue Coat dry martini which was prepared perfectly. For appetizers we had lobster bisque served hot, five jumbo shrimp crisp and cold with a tangy sauce on the side and a house salad. The entrees were duck breast with leg and thigh, sea scallops and something you rarely see on a menu. Calf's liver with caramelized onions, applewood bacon with a red wine reduction. The chef recommended the liver cooked medium rare , which is how I would have ordered it. It was outstanding! We ordered a bottle of pinot Noir with dinner. The hot fudge sundae was a nice ending to a great meal. The dining area was well appointed with linen service as well as a fireplace near our table. Our server was attentive and friendly. We will definitely return . read more

Today I stepped in to a cozy, 18th century once-operating inn in the quaint town of Kimberton. I felt immediately taken back in time. We were greeted by a manager who walked us through their Sunday brunch offerings. We were alerted that their brunch is a full-service, sit-down operation, with no a la carte offerings. We came with appetites and happily accepted! We were seated and promptly greeted by an upscale, uniformed wait staff who offered us tea or freshly squeezed orange juice. We opted for the orange juice and it was truly the best I've ever had; it was so fresh and tasty. We were also brought a basket of house-made biscuits and sticky buns. The biscuits were divine (it's one of my favorite foods, so I'm a tough critic!). For appetizers, I had the gronola with fresh fruit and my boyfriend had the "Best Salad You'll Ever Have". With such a confident title, we were anxious to see if it was aptly named. He said it lived up to its title. For entrees, I had the vanilla French toast with fresh fruit and a side of bacon, and my boyfriend had the Eggs Benedict with home fries. Unfortunately, he said the muffin was a little burned and the overall taste left something to be desired. The wait staff were friendly and very accommodating; your water glass will be refilled the moment it touches your lips. For $26 each, I felt that we were given a good value. Come here if you'd like an upscale, but not stuffy atmosphere, on the outskirts of Phoenixville. read more

The Kimberton Inn is my go-to place for dining in Phoenixville. Usually greeted at the entrance by Oliver, the vocalizing cat. The owner, Jeff, is a highly professional, no nonsense guy who oversees a highly professional very friendly staff. Excellent wine list, although a little pricey....pretty much like wine lists all across the country. Wonderful bar with friendly and efficient bartender. Wide variety of entrees.....have never had a bad one. But, thankfully, they offer a hamburger with fries or salad...my standard Always recommend as the best restaurant in the area! read more

Pluses: Amazing meal. Party of 8. Ages 4 to 74. Scallop bisque was amazing. Ditto for Pork chop with brussels sprouts and sweet potato puree with special sauce. Exquisitely prepared and attentively served. Each order was correct and delivered at once. Child food brought early as requested. Piano in background. Best meal I've ever had in a restaurant. My son raved about triple seafood meal and mascarpone cheesecake. Minuses: none. read more

This historic restaurant was amazingly good. Service was excellent. Food was great. Cocktails were delicious and refreshing.

Warm fire dancing. Earthy wooden tones embrace. Fragrance wafts from the food. This place is like a dream. Even the staff's descriptions of the dishes was like molasses dripping. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Every dish was delicious. We went through several baskets of bread and ordered nearly everything on the appetizer list. Duck spring rolls and coconut shrimp were particular favorites. For entree, the salmon was tender and flavorful. Creme brûlée was a wonderful way to end the night. The food was excellent, and I think the combination of cozy atmosphere and caring service made the experience exceptional! I've never felt so at home in a restaurant. read more

If you like Pennsylvania historic inns, this one is worth checking out. I'm a big fan of an ambience with multiple wood-burning fireplaces in the dining area. The fragrance, warmth and ambience adds to the experience. The food was absolutely top-notch and the wine selection was quite good. I would definitely recommend. read more

Poor experience. Food was not anywhere near the quality required to charge such prices. Wait staff could not answer questions about menu items. Crammed into a tiny table with huge centerpiece. Empty restaurant and all guests were crammed together at a few small tables in one area. Courses were not served in a timely manner so some of us were eating when others were not. Couldn't get drink refills. Meat was not prepared as requested. Served cold and old french fries, refried in old cooking oil. Burger bun was burnt, not toasted. Quinoa salad was 1/2 the size of the other salads for the same price. Shrimp cocktail was hard as rocks. Chicken breast entree was significantly undercooked. Wait staff handed guests plates to pass to the other guests instead of coming around the table to place the plates on table directly. Very slow service. Coffee was $4.25 per cup and the cup was small size and mediocre taste. Never again! read more

Love the ambiance of this restaurant. Very old school classy restaurant decorated like you are eating at a dining room back in time. As for the food great presentation with good quality. Started with shrimp cocktail which was very fresh and nice size shrimp. For our main courses I got the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly. As for the steak it was good but I have definitely had better nothing to complain about though. My date had the crab cake which was a nice size portion and great flavor. Overall a great experience I would recommend eating dinner here! read more

Host seating us was beyond snarky (after no direction of where we should go we asked "Should we follow you?" Response was "that would be the fastest way to get to your table."). Cut of steak was amazing but under seasoned and sides were cold and/or undercooked. The creamy peppercorn sauce was gelatinous and didn't move when plate moved. Lobster bisque was amazing, but ambiance/decor is for the 75+, bad country club food that was super expensive. Oliver the cat that greets you is super sweet, though. read more

Classic place for a great meal. Ambiance is Fantastic for a date night. Food is priced well and delicious. Owner is wonderful and attentive as well. read more

So I have to say I've been coming here for a long time and under the current management this place is absolutely phenomenal. Their Craft cocktails are solid, well executed with outstanding ideas and continued experimentation. they impress -- some of the best in the area outside of downtown Philadelphia. That said- I have not eaten here that much but I did tonight. The duck breast plus leg confit was outstanding and "best salad you ever had" lived up to its name. Both beyond reproach. A pumpkin cheesecake that just totally blew me away. So I have to say, the place continues to impress on every front and I am happy to recommend. read more

The food is overpriced. with food costs skyrocketing it's hard to not feel that weight lifted off of your wallet The service is what you expect from an over priced establishment. Very professional and ready to help with a wine selection or what's best on the menu The building itself is beautiful old Kimberton in many private little rooms corners, turn around nooks and crannies to sit down in very dark. read more

Excellent service, delicious food, and a romantic setting. Took my girlfriend here for our first valentines day and we both loved it. If I could add one improvement, the waitress never told us her name (which I know isn't a big deal but we would have preferred to know who was serving us!) read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for months now and we finally went there to celebrate our anniversary. They sat us right next to the beautiful wood burning fire-- which I absolutely loved! The service and food were equally amazing. Menu options were great, and we each chose to order the filet mignon. The drink menu was expansive, and the waitress helped us choose a bottle of red to enjoy with our meal. For dessert, we chose a simple ice cream sundae but they wrote "Happy Anniversary" on it beautifully. Would highly recommend for a romantic night out or special occasion /celebration. We will definitely be returning! read more

It's our home away from home. We live a couple miles away and our regular go-to. It's cozy and inviting. Most nights Oliver (the friendly cat) will greet you prior to entering the door. And then Jeff, caretaker extraordinaire, or one of his esteemed staff will seat you. The fact that you can reserve bar seats is clutch, it's our favorite. The menu is plentiful and we've never had anything we haven't loved. Don't be intimidated, it's not just a place you go for special occasions, it's an everyday spot, and we're so lucky to live so close. read more

Kimberton Inn is a beautifully maintained historic inn. We go there for special occasions. The food is so deliciously different. Last night I had pork chops with a maple syrup glaze and pecans, it was the best thing I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is elegant, and the real fireplace we sat next to was so cozy on a cold winter night in Pennsylvania. It is our place of choice for celebrations. read more

Just had a wonderful Friday evening with my wife at the Kimberton Inn. The fireplaces were cracking. The service was awesome and the food was delicious. I can say enough about this place. The historic appeal and cozy setting makes for a delightful date night! read more

From beginning to end our experience was stellar. On arrival for our reservation, we were greeted cordially and shown swiftly to our table. The service throughout was wonderful--servers and waitstaff appearing almost magically at table side just when needed, and otherwise remained invisible. The food of course was excellent. What a treat. On our departure, on admiring the painting of the Inn near the entrance, we were treated to a discussion of the Inn and its history by the owner who just "happened by." All told, a wonderful dining experience. This is my first Yelp review, and I can think of no better dining establishment to spend it on. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

Awful experience. We were sat under a low stairwell and when my husband got up from his chair he hit his head on the stairwell really badly and was stunned. We called the manager to complaint about the chair position. He (Jeff) came out and had the nerve to tell me, I should have put my kids under that spot. He also had the nerve to say, my husband is 'not going to die from getting hit in the head!'. He did not apologize or make any amends that they were under code violation for putting a chair under a low stairwell. That chair was not supposed to be there in the first place. He was very demeaning and tried to put the blame on me and my family (full paying customers) about his awful setup. Expected much better from a so called 'established' restaurant. The food was also mediocre. Jeff did not apologize, move us to another table so that it didn't happen again or make any other compensatory measures to alleviate our discomfort. He was extremely rude, nasty and pompous. Be warned. read more

Kimberton Inn - Restaurant code violation. - American Near Me - Kimberton, Pennsylvania

This is one of the most special places to dine. It is well over 200 years old, located at the crossroads of a tiny village and beautifully maintained. In the 30 years I've been coming here the only thing that has changed is the menu. The elegant and cordial service has never faltered. The entrance can be challenging but there are accommodations for those needing them. Outside you climb a dozen brick stairs, enter through the red double doors and encounter another dozen to reach the lobby where you will be greeted by your host. Of coarse there is a cloak room. On your way to your table your host will caution you to watch your step. Not sure if the floors are original but the wood is beautiful though a little uneven. You arrive at a fully white linened table replete with all the flatware, glassware and accessories you could need, softly lit with candles. Fireplaces are lit in cold weather, leaving a faint smokiness when not. Or at least that's the way I remember it. The perfect combination of service, atmosphere and food. Haven't been there for more than a year because of COVID-19. But there's takeout. They do a beautiful job of packaging and have cocktails, beer and bread too. I've become obsessed with their salads. I've ordered the baby arugula one 3 times this month.. I've never seen more perfect greens in my life and I grow my own. They are so fresh. Every time. marinated mushrooms, pickled cauliflower,crispy shallots,and more. It's a beautiful salad for a vegetarian. Everything else I've ordered has been great. Just eclipsed by this salad. Yea, I'm raving. There are other salads on the menu. One is oddly called "Probably the best salad you will ever have" and it is pretty good. I had one tonight. I think they should rename the baby arugula, "Definitely the best salad ever" and keep it on the menu forever. It's curbside pick up for now, looking forward to indoor dining soon. It's available. I'm just overly cautious read more
