What a great experience, casual yet refined. The menu selection shows restraint, sticking to their strengths while appealing to just about any palate. Cocktails were top shelf in every way and that bourbon list, oh my! Great intro by our server, perfect way to learn the selections by a first time diner. read more

I'm quite surprised to see this restaurant at 3.6 stars as of July 2025. I'm not sure if they're under new management or got a new chef, but Spinnerstown is worthy of a five star from me! I started with the scallops which were perfectly seared and cooked over a thoughtful bed of cucumbers and wasabi and sushi rice. It was an excellent appetizer and I might get the full entrée next time. The 12 ounce New York was one of the best steaks I've had in a year and I've had my share of steaks in the last year. Perfect medium, excellent sear, very good sourcing of product, and not drenched in butter like the posers do- I was a happy carnivore. The truffle fries were excellent, and the broccolini was perfectly al dente and seasoned. Emily, my server, was phenomenal. She was never up in my grill, but always there when I needed her. She made recommendations with some taste tests that were perfect for me. This quaint restaurant in a tiny town of Spinnerstown is an excellent compliment to the area and anyone near it should feel grateful to have it close... for me I'll likely make the drive again. read more

Had an awesome meal there. Special was select Scallops. Man were they tasty. All of the food for our party was great and just as we ordered. Service was great from our waiter. He made our night our special. The place is really nice inside and has a great atmosphere. Perfect place for date night. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel obligated to share. My husband and I chose Spinnerstown to celebrate an early birthday after hearing consistently great things. Unfortunately, the service fell well short of expectations. It took an unusually long time for our drinks to arrive, and while our entrees came out at a reasonable pace, our server didn't check back in until we were nearly finished eating. (Scallops were delicious!) I had specifically been looking forward to enjoying a glass of wine with dinner, which wasn't possible given the delay. For the price point, the level of service simply didn't match. This was a Monday evening, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, which made the lack of attentiveness even more surprising. We would like to give Spinnerstown another try but not sure at this point.. read more

Just left and had a phenomenal experience! Our service was top notch! They handled substitution requests with grace. The onion soup was absolutely delightful. We also had the crispy chicken sandwich and were impressed (minus the wasabi mayo- just personal preference). My one thing was that there were too many children but oh well read more

We really enjoyed our experience. We sat in a booth near the front entrance which was great because it buffered the noise from the bar area and other restaurant patrons and felt nice and private for easy conversation. We ordered a bottle of wine and the jalapeño popper dip and squash salad to start. The dip was warm cheese topped with sweet and spicy sauce and jalapeños, served with chips. The salad was very fresh with lots of great toppings and mustard vinaigrette. The crab cake entree did not disappoint! The crab cakes were so delicious, lump crabmeat with very little filler, perfectly cooked along with a side of mashed potatoes and broccolini. The pan roasted chicken was also delicious, tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. We finished with the peanut butter pie and Apple pie à la mode. This was a great meal with good service. They have a good wine list, fun cocktails and extensive whiskey selection too. read more

We had an excellent dinner here tonight. Definitely make a reservation on the weekend. This place filled up. People were even sitting outside and although it's covered with heaters, I wouldn't have wanted to sit out there. My dad and I ordered the apple pie mule. It was fantastic. We both loved it. I would get it again. I decided to try the hot and sour chicken and vegetable soup. It was delicious. My only complaint is that I thought the amount was a little skimpy. My friend had the loaded baked potato soup and she loved it. They gave us each a warm roll and butter to go with our meals. I appreciated that with my soup. It was very good. For dinner, I got the seared tuna bowl. This thing was huge and it was fantastic. I loved it. Everything in it was delicious. I would order this again and again. My dad had the salmon entree and he loved his as well. My friend ordered the salad with steak and she said he's was really good too. The steak was cooked as ordered. Our meals were so good, we couldn't resist getting dessert. We tried the bourbon pecan pie and the peanut butter pie. Both were very good. Our server, Marlena, was excellent. Service was on point. Do come here and visit this wonderful restaurant! read more

Excellent food, beer, wine. Fine selection of whisky and whiskeys. friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious fun atmosphere. Heated outside. Variety of food. Servers smiling. A little noisy from motorcyclists driving by.

Very disappointed. People sing the Spinnerstown hotel praises and we decided to give it a try last evening. We had a reservation. When we arrived we had to wait. No issue. But when the hostess called for my party she rushed me back to our table and couldn't wait for the rest of my party to follow. My mom was walking with cane. I asked the hostess to wait and she did not. Once seated no one came to our table for at least 20 minutes. The room was filled 3/4 full. Wait staff walked past empty handed and no one stopped. We were about to walk out. We picked the quickest meal to make because we wanted out. The table next to us was a party of 10. Very loud to the point we could not talk at our table. Clearly they were enjoying their alcohol and having a good time but certainly not considerate of others around. Service was very slow. Food was okay. Clearly you are paying for the atmosphere not the food. Don't think we will be returning anytime soon. read more

This has been the third time that I have gone to the Spinnerstown Hotel. The service and food have been great each time. We all shared the whipped goat cheese dip and the potato wedges for appetizers. For meals we got the meatloaf and the salmon. Both were good. Portion sizes could be a little bigger, but the quality is good. We will be back. Recommend this place. read more

Historically beautiful and rich in history fantastic bar and restaurant! Food and atmosphere and service is 5 stars

I came here when word got out they had Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon. I took a trip down here and I was pleasantly surprised. Their whiskey and bourbon list is quite extraordinary considering how small this place is. I ordered the Steak and Frites which is a 12oz NY Strip and garlic parmesan frites. The fat strip was a bit bigger than usual but cooked perfectly otherwise. Creme Brulee was great too. The bar manager was super friendly and a great guy to talk to. read more

One of the best dining spots in the Quakertown area! The menu has options for everyone, the kitchen is extremely accommodating of modifications, and there are food/drink specials by the season and by the day. The outdoor patio is lovely on warmer days. Easy to grab a drink at the bar before a table reservation. The Spinnerstown is a go-to! read more

Food is always good, atmosphere is great. They have a very extensive beer and cocktail menu, and never have trouble finding something that's great. You can literally go here for just about any occasion from something to celebrate or just a night out to dinner. The service has been excellent and attentive each time we have gone. The only bad thing I would have to say and it's very occasional, is getting drinks from the bar can be a little slow. Other than that we consider this the consistent go to when we are looking to go out and know we are going to enjoy time as a couple or with friends. read more

We went over for lunch on a Tuesday. They opened at 2pm. We got there about 2:15. We were seated immediately, given menus (more like library books ), waters and specials. I got the Steak House Chop Salad and it was perfect. The dressing was sweet. My only complaint, there was too much greens. Other than that, it was delicious. My husband ordered cheese steaks and French fries, nothing special about it. read more

This was our second try for a great dining experience but another fail. The front desk is very unorganized. Even with a specific reservation they unable to give us what we as for and had to wait a while. Server was nice but she was over booked. My wife's selection of scallops was very good but my cod special was not. Over cooked and mushy on top of mashed potatoes. Who puts fish on mashed potatoes? And my broccoli was very stringy and tough. We will not be back. There are too many fine dining restaurants in the area. read more

this is a nice place to go to; they have a really nice selection of beer. The bartender is very friendly; I think her name was Aubrey & the manager was nice, too. I'd say it's generally an extremely nice spot for a date-night, business meeting, drinks with the guys, whatever. read more

Service was beyond exceptional and the food tasted fresh and amazing! Highly recommend.

Small place with a reasonable but varied menu, good food and a very nice staff. I had the winter salad and it was a good portion size with fresh flavor and toppings. Little pricier food options but fitting for the nicer atmosphere they offered. read more

We had a great experience all around except for one thing. Our bar drinks (3 martinis) took about a half hour or maybe a bit more. Our waiter, Jarrod, checked back regularly w apologies, and we appreciated it. And when we got the check they had deducted the drinks. Jarrod said someone broke glass in ice bin and of course they have to empty whole thing. Jarrod and Mgt did everything they could to make it right. But, we still sat there for at least a half hour waiting for our drinks. Getting past that...service and food was excellent. I had the short ribs and my husband had steak. My daughter had salad and I gave her some of short ribs. The ambiance was lovely. Overall everything was lovely except waiting half hour for drink. But stuff does happen, and I would definitely try it again. read more

I hadn't been in to the spinnerstown hotel for quite awhile, but literally 90 minutes ago I decided to order some take out after browsing the menu online. I wanted a high quality cheat meal on my rest day from the gym. Needless to say, I was beyond impressed with the chicken croissant sandwich and sweet potato fries I ordered. You simply cannot beat this level of high quality food. This sandwich is so far removed from the junk you can get at popular fast food joints that literally subtract years from your life. This chicken sandwich even beats one of my go to cheat spots in Chick-Fil-A. I can't wait to order the rest of the menu. Also it is worth noting, the service was just fine. The girls at the front desk were pleasant and amiable. I will be at this place much more often in the future. read more

Always good,great beer selection, nice atmosphere . Has gotten a bit fancier since I have been going for over 20 years, but really nice for a special occasion, Nice outdoor setting also!! Would recommend!! read more

Food was good, I'll go back. Bar tenders need to be a little more attentive to people needing drinks. To much talking with a full bar of people. Very nice though and it was great atmosphere. Good place for dinner read more

We had a delicious dinner at the Spinnerstown Hotel last night. Our waitress, Emily, was very friendly and attentive and our food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is beautiful. This is not an inexpensive place, but definitely worth it for a special occasion or really nice dinner out. We look forward to coming back!! read more

2 couples dined here tonight for my husband's birthday and we were pleasantly surprised. This was our first time back since before the pandemic and it was so much better than we remembered. Starting with the cocktails... The cocktail menu is quite interesting and extensive. I selected the most interesting drink...it was like a very light and refreshing Bloody Mary martini. It was rimmed with a delicious combination of salt, basil, spices...exactly what a Bloody Mary should be rimmed with. Perfect. Our friend had a very interesting strawberry rhubarb Negroni. I know that sounds strange, but trust me it was delicious. Irish onion soup, roasted tomato bisque and Caesar salad were our starters. All very good versions of them. Entrées were Steak Frittes, which was a perfectly cooked medium rare strip steak and excellent French fries crispy and well salted. Asian rare Ahi tuna bowl was delicious. My husband's creamy shrimp carbonara pasta was very tasty, as was my friend's chicken entrée. Desserts were shared. The house specialty peaches and cream pie and the peanut butter pie were decadent. I've never seen a restaurant have as many coffee offerings as this one, both hot and cold ranging from cold brews to lattes and espresso, cappuccino and French press. I had a cold brew latte which was better than any fancy coffee shop. My friend had a delicious cappuccino. Overall it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely return! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant. Was here for a business dinner and it was a good success. One member of our party had been there earlier in the week solo and raved about the General Sponce Crispy Cauliflower dish. Not a vegetarian, but we shared one as a sampler and I could eat this as a whole meal. The steak sandwich, the pan roasted chicken and the salmon were all well prepared. The restaurant is a little bit higher end that I was expecting, but absolutely on the keeper list the next time I'm in area. read more

We were a part of six. Only one was satin with their entree. The two that had crab cakes thought they were almost tasteless, the hamburger was undercook, the Japanese chicken sandwich was too salty and the chicken wings were not crispy. We did enjoy the Irish onion soup and Crème brûlée. The service was only adequate and unfortunately the atmosphere was interrupted by the loud traffic because we were seated on the deck. read more

Ten years ago my Husband and I frequented Spinnerstown for dinner. We brought Family and Friends there also. In and out of COVID years we almost forgot about this place. Recently we invited a dear Neighbor to join us. The ambiance is not as warm and inviting as we remembered it. Acoustics were harrowingly NOISY. Could not engage in ANY conversation. As with many of our favorite restaurants the menu has changed dramatically, but NOT for the better. My Husband ordered the acclaimed Pulled Pork Waffle. He shared or left most of it. He loves Pulled Pork but combined with way too much SUGAR and SYRUP and CINNAMON and BLACKBERRIES he literally began to feel sick! A thick Sweet Waffle smothered in syrup and sugar and topped with Pulled Pork and Blackberries...GROSS!!! Service was Pleasant but very slow. I love the Peach Pie dessert and brought some home. I was glad to see it was still being served. I have resigned myself to thinking that all the really talented Chefs have LEFT the area during COVID, and BLAND, at higher prices, is the new dining state of affairs!!! read more

After reading several reviews we finally decided to come here for dinner after passing by it for the last 5 years. We made reservations using open table for 7:30. We arrived early and were seated after a very brief wait. We took a little bit to decide on our order because everything sounded delicious. We ordered our drinks and they arrived promptly... ... and this is where things went down hill. We ordered the spinny wedges to share. Our entrées were the braised ribs with mashed potato & sautéed spinach and the chicken and brown butter gnocchi. One person in our party ordered 2 "add-on's", grilled shrimp and sea scallops with a side of fries as their meal. And for the 10 y/o, a kids chicken tenders with fries was selected. Our salads did come in a reasonable time for a Friday night, but they were slow to come out. The kids meal arrived some time after the salads (though we didn't request it be served separately). Then we waited... and waited... and waited for our spinny wedges and our meals. An hour after being seated we still didn't have our meal. Our server stopped by to ask if we had received our spinny wedges and when we told her we hadn't, she said she didn't think so and she was sorry. She said she would have them out to us soon and would take them off the check. I asked if the meals would be out soon to which she replied that they should be on their way out. We told her to skip the spinny wedges and just bring us our meals. She said she would bring them anyway and that we could bring them home. We said that we didn't really want them to-go and that they sould just skip them all together. Several minutes later the manager came with, you guessed it, a to-go bag with spinny wedges and let us know she took them off the check. She told us dessert was complementary as well as our meals FINALLY arrived. The gnocchi was hot and the chicken in it was flavorful but the gnocchi itself was comprised of soft blobs of deep fried mashed potato. The individual in our group that ordered it enjoys mashed potatoes, pasta, and gnocchi but found this preparation off putting leaving most of it uneaten. The shrimp and scallops were hot and well prepared but nothing special. The braised ribs looked fantastic but ended up being dry and cold. Because we had been there so long (and they were cleaning up the dining room as we ate) we chose to take our deserts with us, hopeful for a better experience. The strawberry crisp was so unappealing I couldn't eat it. Ok, I admit, by this point I was jaded from the disappointing meal, but I just couldn't get past the pitiful appearance. After all was said and done, with two glasses of wine, a soda, and two Shirley Temples the check was $120. If everything had gone smoothly and all the food served hot and in a reasonable time I would have been okay with it. For the quality of service and food we received, it wasn't worth it. Oh, and we left the to-go bag of spinny wedges on the table. We said we didn't want them, did they think we were kidding? read more

Overpriced, mediocre food. The service was terrible when we went. We even gave it two tries, but still awful!

We stopped by at 4:30 for an early dinner. When we walked in I asked the hostess if they had room for 2 and she responded of course. She then looked on her little electronic pad to see where to have us sit. With this she then starting asking the waitress which table to seat us at. We'll the lovely waitress kept saying no with her last response bring "I'm not doing that" So the hostess who has already told us there are tables availsble turns to us and says "I can seat you at 6. 1-1/2 hours no thank you.....goodbye Spinnerstown! read more

food was really good however not very respectful and the service is very bad if you're LGBT right now. I found that we had no service. We got one water refill. We were almost snubbed at the restaurant. The waitress said that she was pregnant at the end for the excuse of bad service to try to get a better tip. read more

Food was very good and service was prompt. Prices were a bit high otherwise I would have given 5 stars!
