Reviews for McCoole's Red Lion Inn in Quakertown, PA
We used to love this place, but no more. The menu has been slashed, most of our favorites are gone. My husband ordered a... burger well done, it was rare. He send it back, they put the burger with all the condiments on the grill to finish cooking. Itwas a gross mess. The prices are way too high now. I ordered a Roast Beef sandwich and only got 1/2 a sandwich. 3 burgers, 1half sandwich, 1 beer and 2 very small cocktails was almost $120. Read more
Normally I would do 5 stars…I come here at least every other week and love this place…but today the food was really not... good. The fries had an odd taste today…like the frying oil was not changed in a while…my sandwich also had the same oddtaste…almost like it was not fresh. It was so bad that I left with a stomach ache. Our drinks were phenomenal as always butfor some reason the food was really bad today. I gave them 3 stars because all the times I have come here the food is always onpoint…I am hoping it was just an “off” night Read more
1st time visiting with my family for our son's confirmation lunch. Always wanted to try it and this was a great opportunity. ... Boy were we all happy we did. Loved the atmosphere and the story behind it. But what we loved even more was the food. Thanksfor a great experience! Read more
I'm sorry to say as a person who grew up in Spinnerstown and have several generations in this area, this is not a place you... should care about if you value local business and/or the decent treatment of employees. Employees act like hostages and whisperhow they aren't even given the credit/debit tips we all assume are given to our bartender and/or server. I'm ashamed to say Ihave 4 generations in this area and the history of this location (liberty bell, rebellion, etc) are not important to theseowners. The wonderful bartenders & other employees have to whisper to regulars that the company steals their credit/debittips. The owners are a disgrace to the history of this location and abuse their employees. I experienced a "Karen" who claimedherself as owner myself. I tipped the bartender in cash bc they don't even get your tips if you tip in credit/debit. The ownersare a shame to Quakertown and abuse the people they employ. Nothing is worth giving the owners money. They have zero respectfor their employees or patrons. If you care about our history, our pride, or basic tipping of employees... avoid like theplague. The owners care nothing for their employees (who are amazing) and run their business opposed to our small townvalues. Please tip employees in cash. The owners steal the tips and instill fear of poverty in their employees. Support otherlocal business. This business is corrupt and are proud of their anti-pennsylvanian, anti-history practices. Every employeeacted like a hostage, bullied by management. It's heartbreaking. It's sad a historical landmark has fallen this far byoutsiders. Give your money to local businesses that respect our history. Red Lion/McCoole's is hostile to our lovely history. 0? for the management. 5 ????? for the employees who are held hostage, but still provide excellent service. Outsiders don'tbelong. And the owners are rude, hateful, and don't value the values Red Lion/McCoole's stands for. I will never given the Read more
Nice restaurant in an old inn. Had the BLT on a half long roll. The bacon was thick and the roll was soft making for a delicious... sandwich. Also had french onion soup which was also good. To drink I had one of there own beers, The Sassy Lassie. The servicewas great and fast. The parking can be a little difficult. I'll be back.$$ Read more
Went here for dinner last night for my birthday. The food was incredible and came out in sufficient time! We got the clam... chowder (pic), nachos, short ribs, and chicken parm. Our waitress was Krystal and she was a delight! She was so friendly andvery accommodating when asked to make mock tails and give beer recommendations. We’ve come before and we will certainlyreturn.

So first starters, the hostess was really nice! Our waitress was super chill and sweet! The food was amazing I got a Crab and... Shrimp Melt w French fries. It was about $16 and my only discrepancy is, I wish there were more fries! Other than that it wassoo delicious and satisfying ???? As for the drink, I got Notre...Damn it was a citrus vodka, curosao, and lime juice. Thegarnish is a dried lemon wedge. That was $12 but good size drink, and perfect amount of alcohol. The atmosphere is historicallyaccurate but with a nice modern dish selection. Very cool place! Definitely recommend! Read more
