The Continental Tavern - Yardley

We had a Surprise Retirement party for my Husband. And let me tell you it was amazing from start to finish. The food was great!! And the service was was phenomenal!! We didn't want for a thing! Next time we are in need of a place for a special event this is our place!!! Thanks to the entire Continental Tavern Staff!!

Continental Tavern was a treat from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the people were kind and welcoming, the food was delicious, the highlight was definitely the insiders view of how the Continental Tavern played an integral part in the Underground Railroad in Bucks County. Chris, who is the General Manager went above and beyond in showing my mom and I so many fun and historical parts that lie within this historical building. We look forward what’s your come in the coming months. So come for the food and the people, but be delighted in how this place sings of stories from the past.

The building has a great vibe, the menu is appealing, and the food was enjoyable. While the service was friendly, it was quite slow and could have been better. Our server seemed to overlook us at times. However, we all appreciated our meals and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

This restaurant serves classic American dishes that offer a sense of comforting familiarity, accompanied by a rich historical backdrop. The Continental Tavern has undergone several transformations throughout its over 200-year history, one of which involved serving as a stop on the Underground Railroad. After enjoying a delicious black and blue burger with sweet potato fries, I was fortunate enough to receive a tour of the building from Chris, the general manager. In the basement, you can see the original foundation and bricks that formed the tunnels used by enslaved people escaping to freedom, just two miles from the Delaware River. It’s remarkable how former owners of this establishment felt a deep sense of justice for the enslaved individuals who deserved liberation. During my visit, a local band was performing in the bar area, and I learned that various events, including tarot readings, take place regularly. This restaurant is a true gem in Yardley that everyone should visit, not only for the delicious food but also for its captivating history.

This was our first visit, and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our waitress, Victoria, was excellent! It’s a wonderful place!
