Soup was cold. Tea was cold. Coffee was cold. Restaurant was cold. 66 degrees is not room temperature. Ordered the "Reuben". It was inedible. I literally left it on my plate. Servers
used an outside door to access restaurant. Table next to us had under cooked food. Other table, they forgot to bring a meal. This place needs a real chef. The local drinkers are keeping this place a float. Try warm weather for cold food. A shame because its a wonderful venue. Â Hostess was not pleasant. Â I am sure Lambertville has better. They need to get their act together. I do not recommend this place
With another couple we enjoyed a very pleasant evening at The Inn of the Hawke. The menu was diverse, with emphasis on seasonal items. The food was nicely prepared and plated and the prices are reasonable.
The bar is lively, and provide generous pours.
Our waiter was Matt, who was attentive and helpful.
We have not eaten at The Inn for several years and now wonder why not? Based on last night we will most certainly return very soon.
My woman and I had a great lunch here today. I started out with a zombie killer cherry cyser , a really tasty mead , my partner opted for the white sangria...both beverages were awesome. Then proceeded to order my sandwich. thick cut chipped roast beef with sauteed onions , Swiss cheese , horseradish sauce , and some kind of mustard...it was really good , Heidi ordered the turkey bacon sandwich , she said it was to die for. Service was also fast and courteous .
We shall return.
What a nice surprise! Â We are locals and are always looking for the dinner gem. We headed up here for Friday night dinner and fireworks, and when I called for a menu, there wasn't one because the chef writes a new menu once a week. What!? Â I love you already. Now that's how you stay on your toes as a competitive establishment in a touristy town! Â We loved the ambiance of outdoor seating. We loved the menu. We loved the fact that we weren't being rushed out. We loved the quality ingredients of the awesome selections. Â We loved Inn of the Hawke and can't wait to go back!
Review Source:I'd love to give this review 5 stars but I can't. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is very good but the bartender, who has worked here for years, does not know how to make a margarita. When I go to a good bar with a seasoned bartender I expect a high level of competence. My suggestion for him is to visit the Harvest Moon Inn, who know how to make a phenomenal margarita.
Review Source:Great spot that stays open late for locals to drink and not have to worry about all the tourist all the time.
The beers on tap are good and the service is friendly. Â My friend likes their drinks and the crowd that we have met.
The wings are good so I'm excited to go back to have dinner at the bar. Â They have a great bar that I enjoy going to. Â They also have 6 packs you can buy and carry out.
This is a great spot and I can't wait to go back and have some fun with my friends on a late night bar hopping venture.
Consistent, quality food and service. Â
At a certain hour, Lambertville forgets that not everyone goes to bed at 10PM and finding an open kitchen becomes a chore. Â Fortunately, one of the better places in town steps in to fill that void. Â The menu is ample with something for everyone. Â Great selection of beer on tap or bottle. Â Seating at the bar, in the dining room or on the patio lets you pick the experience you want to have. Â Now and again you may have to remind your server that you're there but overall a solid meal with good service in a pleasant ambience with extended hours. Â You won't be disappointed.
I've been wanting to go to The Inn of the Hawke for a few weeks now. The lunch menu looked great, a range of salads and sandwiches and some lighter fare for appetizers. The bar area was full when we walked in, a soccer game available on the TV and several pockets of conversation ensuing. The dining room off to the right was warm and inviting, very family friendly, with lots of sunlight coming in from the windowed doors leading out to the porch.
I was disappointed mostly with the service, water glasses were left unfilled for long lengths of time, to the point that I was sucking on ice... it was difficult to flag down a waitress. We also had to wait over a half hour for our food, which was three salads and a turkey burger. The waitress did not come by to notify us of the status of our food and we had to ask for bread after a period, without being offered initially. While it was great seeing my family and we had plenty of time to chat, the long length of time without any acknowledgement resulted in a poor overall experience.
I ordered the herb chicken over mixed greens with apples and cranberry vinaigrette. The chicken was so dry it was inedible and the "appled" were baked and limp. It would've been better to have crisp, fresh apples to add crunch to the salad and compliment the pecans and mandarin oranges better. The turkey burger was definitely not homemade, it looked like a frozen paddy. We had to track down the waitress again just to ask for ketchup.
It's a shame this is not a good lunch possibility in town. It's just such a great atmosphere and is in a great location.
Calamari Appetizer - Really big squid. Very nice texture, tender and not chewy. Breading was nice and light. The only thing was, I did get some sand like substance on a few of the pieces, I would expect that on some shellfish but not usually squid. Still I kept right on eating.
Chicken Cord Chowder - Very yummy, hit the spot on the chilly night. I will eat the soup again.
Pork tenderloin with cherry chutney and Mashed potatoes - I would say the entree could have used a little more flavor. It was good but nothing in the meal would make me want to order it again. The potatoes were a little bland, could have used some gravy or butter. And the chutney did not really make up for it. The pork was tender and had some good bark, but again a little bland.
The fire was very nice and inviting while our waitress could not have been more accommodating and served us very professionally even at the end of the night. I will be eating here again.
A few of us stopped here after a fun filled afternoon of tubing, and we were happily surprised.
Despite a not so welcoming first greeting (they seemed almost shocked that we walked in), the food was great, and the service was great as well. I had my water glass filled no less than 7 times. There is a really nice, big outdoor patio space which would be nice for a not huge rehearsal type dinner, I would think. Or a birthday or special occasion. Food wasn't cheap, but it was delicious.
Definitely a place to stop by when you are in Lambertville. Not a place you would notice though unless you knew it was there and were looking for it. SO look for it!
I have been a customer of the inn since it opened in the mid 90's and regardless of where I've lived in NJ I always found time to get there for lunch or dinner. The patio is amazing in the spring/summer and even early fall, the beer selection is always great and I haven't had fish and chips this good anywhere in NJ. My fave dish is the turkey burger with mushrooms along with several pints of Fuller's E.S.B.
Review Source:I came here for dinner (on Memorial Day, no less!) during a business trip. Casual atmosphere, good selection of food and drink - nothing pretentious. If you go, you MUST try the bread pudding! I'm fussy and not generally a fan of bread pudding, but the Inn's bread pudding is to die for! I'm drooling just thinking of it.
Review Source:Meghan C and I always come here when we're in Lambertville, and it's a solid place to grab lunch. Â The food and beer are a bit pricey, but you're in the Lambertville/New Hope area, which is pretty standard. Â The beer list is decent, though could use a little seasonal massaging. Â Sandwiches are really good. Â I had the beef and lamb gyro on Monday, and the tzatziki sauce is super tangy and delicious. Â I've had burgers here on previous occasions, and they were tasty, as well. Â The best thing I've had here are the fish and chips. Â They're perfectly done, golden brown, and crispy, and come with malt vinegar, which is great! Â They also serve all their sandwiches with house-made potato chips, which are awesome with some salt and the aforementioned malt vinegar.
The outdoor patio is the best part of the restaurant, though. Â It's enclosed, with nice scenery, and presents a very English pub style. Â I'd be very happy to have a patio that looked like that in my backyard!
I came here with friends on Memorial Day weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised. I first wanted to go to either The Inn at Lambertville Station or Hamilton's Grill Room. After realizing both venues were booked, I was able to secure a reservation here with ease. The restaurant is located right by the canal, but you do not have a view of it. However, the outside seating was still beautiful for it had a garden backdrop. The restaurant was buzzing, but definitely not packed. It's usually hard to find a calm place on Memorial Day weekend, and I appreciated its tranquility. The food was standard pub/ American cuisine, and it was moderately priced. The waiter was attentive and did not rush us. After our meal, we walked down the street to the bike path which follows the canal to the main street. We passed The Inn at Lambertville Station, and after seeing the overflowing crowed and the exuberant prices, appreciated the fact that we wound up at Hawke. I will definitely return to the Inn of the Hawke, especially in the summer months when you are able to sit outside.
Review Source:I honestly have never sat at the bar here - this is our place whenever we go to Lambertville/New Hope in the spring/summer/fall for lunch so we can sit outside on the patio. Â The sandwiches are always phenomenal, they have a very strong beer selection, and I have always had great service here.
Review Source:This place was just what i was in the mood for the night I went there. I wanted to try some of the local beers and have just a good pub burger served in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. That is just what i got. The Thai Carrot and Ginger soup was sweet and a little spicy but mainly sweet and excellent. The homemade chips that come with sandwiches and burgers are the second best potato chips I have ever had. Our waiter was informative and friendly and outgoing. That is a perfect combination. Overall a very very solid dining experience.
Review Source:I came here at least once a week. It's the best beer selection around and the Bartenders (where I always eat) are all excellent. The menu updates regularly and if I'm not thrilled by anything the burger here is super tasty. Â I enjoy the homemade chips but I would like the option of fries.
Review Source:We went over to Lambertville for a very late Saturday lunch, ostensibly at Lilly's on the Canal. However, with late being the key word here, Lilly had already stopped serving lunch and wasn't going to be open for dinner until 5:00.
So, we asked Lilly for a recommendation and she pointed us to Inn of the Hawke, which is a couple of blocks away. We chatted a bit longer, apologized for not being able to eat at her place, and then went off to find the Inn of the Hawke.
We've been on that street before (visiting our favorite bike shop Pure Energy), but never been to the Inn. Since it was about 3:30, it was of course not crowded but there were a few people at the bar and one table in the dining room.
We were quickly seated and given the lunch menu + wine/beer list. We each got a beer from the tap list, and then ordered lunch. I had a gyro and Janet ordered the fish and chips.
Both came with "chips" which were actually potato chips that looked to be homemade/hand-sliced. Janet's deep fried fish was piping hot and the battered coating was crunchy and delicious. My gyro was a perfect combination of the standard ingredients and sauce and was just the right size.
For dessert, Janet had the apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream, and I had a piece of carrot cake. The crisp was served very hot & bubbly and was excellent. The carrot cake was quite tasty.
We both enjoyed our meal and thought we should return some day soon to see what they do for dinner.
My husband Dan and I visited the Inn of the Hawke on a recent chilly evening. Â When we arrived, we were greeted by the bar in front of us but there wasn't a hostess at the hostess stand. Â We weren't sure if we should seat ourselves or should wait. Â After a few minutes, the hostess arrived and we were quickly seated.
The dining room is split into several areas. Â The room we were in had a fireplace (gas, I think) tucked in a corner. Â Once seated, our server, Sue promptly arrived with water and took our food and drink orders. Â
We each started the meal with the tomato parmesan soup. Â The soup was a bit thick, more like a puree. Â It was nice for a chilly evening but nothing great. Â For his entree, Dan had the portabello mushroom sandwich and I had the penne with vodka rosa. Dan enjoyed his sandwich and but would request no cheese on it the next time.
I'm not a big fan of chicken in my pasta so asked for the penne without chicken. Â Sue obliged and offered me extra proscuitto in place of the chicken. Â I've had penne with vodka at many restaurants and that's what I expected. Â However, what I received was a generous portion of slightly overdone pasta with a scant amount of sauce. Â The kitchen was so overzealous in the extra proscuitto that I probably had 2 or 3 pieces of meat for every piece of pasta on my plate. Â The chopped pieces of proscuitto were too thick for my liking and I left most on my plate. Â I did eat around and had a lot of the pasta before calling it quits. Â Knowing I wouldn't eat the pasta at home, I declined to take home the uneaten portion.
Wanting to end on a positive meal choice, I opted for a strawberry peach fruit cobbler ala mode for dessert. Â The cobbler was ok.
With tip, we spent around $125 for the evening. Â This includes a bottle of wine and a couple of pre-dinner drinks.
My wife and I drove down from Boston on Saturday to visit my mother in New Hope. I asked her to select a restaurant for dinner. Â We had a first-class meal, served by an excellent server, Susan. Â I had the rack of lamb, my mother had the steak and my wife had a salad with steak--all for a pre-tip total (including a round or two of drinks) of about $65. I have dined at a number of the fine restaurants in the area, and our meal at the Inn was as good as any and better than most. Even my wife, who is the very definition of a fussy eater, said the food was great. We will visit again!
Review Source:The old stand by. Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Whenever in the Lambertville area pondering the age old question, "What do you want to eat?" Inn of the Hawke always comes up.
Standard bar food with a bit above standard attention to preparation. Nothing "wow's" but nothing disappoints either. Hard to ask for more within the bar menu realm. There is ample dining room seating as well as a nice looking patio.
Good beers on tap, more reaching selection of bottles.
In a word, solid.
My husband and I really like this place. It has solid American fare, and an on-tap beer selection that cannot be beat in Lambertville. It's a real "locals" place, which may be why some tourists complain about it. We mostly stick to the burgers/sandwiches, but the fish and chips is great too. I highly recommend it. If you're not uppity and snobby, you'll like this place.
Review Source:Even though we don't live in Lambertville, we drive 20 minutes just for the beers on tap, since the Hawke usually has good ones like Fuller's, Dogfish Head, Sierra Nevada, as well as the usual suspects like Guinness, Stella Artois, Bud. (I was sad to see the Dead Guy Ale go though.) The emphasis seems to be on beer, but I always see regulars with basic cocktails and they have a decent basic wine list as well. Never ever seen anyone order anything pink.
But we never ate here till recently since we're vegan. However, when I peeked at the menu the other night I was surprised to see they'd added several vegetarian options, most of which can be easily veganized by removing the cheese or other minor changes.
The Inn of the Hawke is laid-back and generally friendly, and the service is usually great unless they are jammed. Garden seating in season, and a fireplace in the main dining room for colder months. Across from the canal and towpath, and off the main drag in Lambertville. Basically, a great bar with decent pub food...and now veggie-friendly too. Hooray!
Blargh! The sandwiches here are greasy or dry. The vegetarian sandwich they had with "grilled" vegetables was soggy and a crazy amount of cheese perverted the flavors of every other ingredient.
It's a lovely place to sit though. Groceries are hard to come by in Lambertville, but if you get your hands on some--- make lunch at home.
Lambertville has very few decent places open for lunch and this is one of them. Â Basically a local bar with better than average menu, good food, good price value. Â Service can be a bit haphazard but only slightly annoying. Â When the bar is busy the seating area inside can be noisy. Â In good weather try the patio instead.
We go here for convenience not for the food.
This is a 3.5 star review. Â
The space itself is quite nice. Â Set in an historic building on a corner lot in town, they feature a huge round bar, with dining rooms off to either side, and a really big outdoor seating area. Â They also have hotel rooms upstairs. Â Friends once stayed there and had a nice experience. Â
My biggest grievance with the place is the bartenders. Â You'll sit at the bar forever before they get around to serving you. Â And it won't even be crowded! Â It's pretty annoying and sometimes I wonder if they act like that intentionally. Â
I don't eat here frequently, but did last night. Â I had a burger and it was quite good, served with their delicious homemade chips. Â And it was only $8. Â Our server was really on the ball, especially considering we were a table of 8, and the place was packed.
Definitely one of the better spots in L'ville.
The food here is fine, the atmosphere is spot on. Â The service is almost a little slow (but not quite) and there was definitely some friction between the servers - curse words were exchanged on a few occasions between them. Â (I mention that only because I thought it was funny, and reminded me of my days as a bar back, which I've already told you too much about.)
So what takes it up to four stars? Â Well, I was there with my good friend Karl, who in addition to being an Irishman, actually used to own a bar in Ire-land. Â A Guinness bar, which apparently means something special, with certification and whosy-whaty and what not. Â
And Karl, who seems to know about these things, said that the pints of Guinness that were poured here were "fine," which in Irish seems to mean "near perfect," in the quality of the pour, the cleanliness of the pint, and the little intangible things like how the head sticks to the glass when you sip it (or quaff it, like I was) and how think the head was and stuff.
Except for the part where he nearly snatched away my pint because I wanted to drink it before it settled - I did know better, I was just very thirsty and not thinking - it was quite an experience. Â
So hurray for the Inn of the Hawk. Â If I come back, I hope to see a Ladyhawke movie reference in there somewhere - that would get a fifth star in a heartbeat.
Yesterday was the 2nd time I went to eat at Inn of the Hawke.
This place is walking distance from our NJ office, so it was not a complete surprise to see at least three groups of people from my company eating there yesterday.
The first time I came here was with my "new" boss, so maybe I was just a little apprehensive/nervous, but I thought what I had then (a chicken sandwich I believe) was bland and not very tasty.
Yesterday, I went back with some of my NJ colleagues, and I ordered a roast beef sandwich (which someone else ordered too). Five minutes later the waitress came back to tell us that they only had enough roast beef to make one more. =/
So being the gentleman that I am, I let my co-worker take it, and I ordered the skirt steak sandwich (medium-rare) instead. Well, the sandwich was pretty good surprisingly. It was nicely not over) cooked, and it the steak was quite juicy. Not a big fan of bleu cheese (which it came with, but it was still good).
I'm not a particularly big fan of the greasy "home-made" chips that most of the sandwiches/burgers come with. Though they weren't "bad-tasting", if I'm getting fat off of greasy tators, I'd much rather have fat, greasy steak fries to go with my steak sandwich.
I'm sure the next time I'm in town, I'll probably end up here... and I won't complain too much.
While biking the canal path, my friend suggested we stop for a beer. Â Feeling rather parched, I agreed and followed him to the Inn of the Hawke. Â It was late afternoon on a beautiful spring day, so we made our way out to the patio - this was until the hostess/owner told us the patio was a no-go if we were just drinking. Â A little annoyed, we made our way back to bar. Â Once I sat down in the air conditioning and ordered a ice cold Sam Adams Light, I realized this was a far better deal after all. Â The atmosphere was quite pleasant; chill people, attentive bartender, and Dead tunes playing in the background. Â What more could I ask for? Â Maybe some food - but hey, we were just taking a short break.
So, overall a good spot. Â I'll be back, but minus one star for less than pleasant hostess. Â
Two notes: (1) This is also a B&B - there are six rooms available, 2) Zagat rated.
