The absolute primary reason why "Bar Rescue" is on TV. Â This place is the top candidate for the show. Â Not only is the service horrible, but the place is disgusting. Â Allow me to start with the atmosphere and cleanliness of the facility. Â The place is dirty as hell. Â Our feet stuck to the floor. Â There is no ventilation in the bar and there is no air conditioning....this was the middle of JULY!!!! Â I also witnessed the blonde bartender scooping ice into drinks with her bare hands instead of using the scoop. Â Next, the service. Â We were here for an hour and a half and were able to get one drink. Â If you are not a regular, you cannot get any kind of service. Â Lisa, the very tall manly looking bartender, was awful with her customer service and personality. Â She only helped a few group of people and had not other attention. Â When the time came to get our bill for our one drink, it took over a half hour with repeated "hands" up to our faces during our request to get our bill. Â Even after speaking with the owner, he also did NOTHING to help us out. Â We finally got the attention of the male bartender who was obviously intoxicated to get our bill. Â Needless to say, NO TIP WAS LEFT!!! Â I've never been so disgusted to the point where a tip was not left. Â Absolutely horrible place to go. Â Jon Taffer NEEDS to visit this place.
Review Source:Dean Casmirri's Colonial Inn is a great place to go to for reasonable drinks, great tasting food, or just about anything for that matter! They have pool tournaments, horseshoe games in good weather, karaoke, a nice patio that backs up to an adorable creek and you can even get tarot readings there from time to time. It's one of those hidden gems, so go check it out and have a great time. I did!
Review Source:Arrived on a Saturday night to have some dinner and drinks. Â No greeting at the door, so we decided to sit ourselves. Â We sat at a dirty table because the waitstaff neglected to clean it. Â After about 20 minutes they finally came to our table and took drink orders. Â Service throughout the night was extremely slow, and rude at that. Â Chicken sandwiches and wraps are made with pre-cooked frozen chicken tenders. Â Building is dirty and has a huge identity crisis. Â Is it a restaurant? A pub? An irish bar? A biker bar, or a colonial inn? Â Asked to use the horseshoe pit outside and was told it was closed. Â Overall I would not recommend this place.
Review Source:Shady? Yes. Â Creepy? No.
I would have never known that this bar existed unless my friend told me about it. Â And, thanks to Yelp, I was able to get directions to this "shady" little inn. Â But, although it is isolated from the main roads of Penndel, it certainly is not vacant. Â What a surprise to find the bar packed and alive with karaoke and plenty of people ages 21 to 70. Â There's the bar area, an upstairs with pool tables, a well designed patio, and then the outside (which, unfortunately, we were not allowed to peruse, but I hear there is a killer horseshoes setup). Â What really sold me, however, were the Inn's drink specials. Â $1 Yuengling before 12am! Â Vodka tonics for only $4! Â Shut up, I know my drink selection is meager, but the Colonial's is not. Â Definitely checking this place out again.
Oh, and apparently they serve good food?
Dean Casmirri's Colonial Inn is well off the beaten track and lies along a now stagnant creek, beyond this you will not only hear but see the beautiful white water falls of the Neshaminy River, which can be viewed while dining on their upper back deck or the lower patio, scattered picnic tables are spread throughout the grass.
The Inn, which is no longer an Inn, dates back to the mid 1800's and much of this shines through with the well built exterior, very deep window sills with tall bead or cord drawn windows, antique mirrors adorn the walls and the ceilings kiss the roof with their aged yet beautiful lighting fixtures.
Now, I have just painted a picture of days gone by, where weary travelers tied up their horses for water and feed, grabbed a good bite to eat and a room with a bath, drawn from wells or the river...
Step it up folks, recently renovated dining areas going with the times, a huge curved bar is what greets you with screens showing your favorite sports, high or low tables to grab some of the most incredible homemade food and drinks that will not empty your pockets!
The servers are relaxed and dressed casually in t-shirts and jeans shorts, but they are on the ball and so excited about your being there, we had Brittany and she was very personable and so willing to please! I noticed regulars walking straight through and out to the deck and a server was right behind them.
The grub; we started with the very best clams casino you will ever have, seriously, they tell you this on the menu and it is so true! The whole clams are very tender, and loaded with thick pieces of bacon, peppers, onions, spices and would you believe roasted carrots diced, unbelievable and truly awesome!
They need to teach other restaurants how to make crab stuffed mushroom caps! Firm caps over filled with a delectable lump crab meat filling, I'm not kidding, chunks of lump crab fell to the plate and that in itself was an appetizer AND their creamy crab soup was the culinary delight, magnifico, outstanding and very inventive! What they did, I'm purely guessing, but chunks of lump crab meat and I do mean lots of chunks of crab meat was served in a thick rich broth which was a cross between a Newburg and a bisque and then to top this all off it was served the way a French onion soup would be with a layer of a very good cheese covering the top of the crock, I'm bummed I do not have any to eat as I'm typing this and one of the many reasons I will return!
Along with our entrees came a soup or a salad, hubby had a very crisp and large salad and I opted for the soup Du jour which was a fresh cream of spinach and mushroom soup, whoever is in charge of making the soups in this restaurant is my hero and a real pro, hubby said yuck when I ordered it and when he took a bite, I had to slap him to keep him from finishing it!
Okay, I hate to do this, but I am now taking what is a five star review down as the entrees were a real hit or miss...
We ordered three entrees, yes we did, I wanted to taste as much as I could, I just wish we had chosen differently, hubby had one of the daily specials which was a shrimp and andouille sausage over dirty rice, four shrimp, one piece of sausage cut into nice sized chunks and served over a very good rice dish which was definitely made from scratch and very good. Hit, but chintzy on the sausage and shrimp.
Shrimp parmesan with your choice of pasta, I had angel hair, good sauce, pasta cooked to perfection but the shrimp were burned and I do mean burned. They were not dried out, nor did they taste too overdone, but the burned taste of the fried shrimp maybe hitting too hot of a pan going into the oven sang through. Plenty of shrimp, would not order this again, although maybe it was a one time thing, it should have never been sent out to serve.
This is my real bone of contention, I adore pot roast, I grew up on it and hubby hates pot roast, therefore I do not make it and how many restaurants serve it? Yay, they have pot roast... NOT! I was so excited, pot roast dinner with mashed and gravy or a hot  pot roast sandwich ( and that is how it read ) served with a rich hot roast beef gravy with hand cut fries and more gravy! It was the lousiest shaved roast beast, fatty, no where near chunks of tender pot roast and with cheese on a bun? Hello, where is the gravy? Isn't a hot pot roast sandwich served on bread with real pot roast and covered in this rich gravy? The sandwich was a really big let down, but after we mentioned the shrimp were burned and nothing was done about it, I kept my mouth closed.
The hand cut fries are awesome and hey I got rich brown gravy with them! My dessert was a good homemade rice pudding, rice was al dente ( ? ) and no raisins, but lots of cinnamon. An ATM inside, a few electronic games including darts and they have music and game/trivia nights.
In all honesty, the appetizers, hand cut fries and the soups were 10 stars!
