Inn of Orwigsburg the

Avoid this place!  The woman tending bar is a total sourpuss, has not had a happy day in her life.  Just a totally miserable person.  I asked about a particular dish and her answer was "Its good, do you want to try it or not?" Service was very poor.  Empty bar and it took forever to get drink refills as well as the food.  Food was a mix, one good, other one not so much.  I was still chewing and the plates were removed, since she wanted to go home.  I noticed the same thing the previous time we were here about two weeks ago.  When it came time for the bill we got a number, no check or anything else.  I figure she was screwing us on the check, and she got shorted on the tip, yeah well it's a two way street, I will not go back.  It's a nice old bar, but the service is lousy and the either owner does not care or just doesn't get it since he was right there talking to his friends?  Go to the Deer Lake Pub, much, much  better service and food with a caring, and engaged owner.

It's sad that the food is ok but the owner is FULL of himself and thinks the world revolves around him.  The hostess looks miserable and never smiles.  This is not the place to go to in the area.  There are NO drink specials and the menu is priced as FINE dining in a small town.

If you're looking for the closest thing to "Cheers" and happen to be in the rather rural Schuylkill County Pennsylvania, The Orwigsburg Inn is the spot.

You'll find a few locals hanging out at the rustic wood bar, a friendly bartender and the owner coming around to ask how things are going. Go there more than once and they'll "know your name" (give them a handful of times before they start yelling your name when you walk through the door)

Hardwood floors and a friendly vibe make the Orwigsburg Inn a quaint, casual spot to bring the family for dinner.
