First time I've been here and I have to say the salmon was perfect..... I asked for well done and I got it just the way I like it. The server was efficient and attentive even though the restaurant was busy. I loved the community vibe and the karaoke singing!
Bowman's is my favorite restaurant, by far. The food is always fresh and creative and delicious, and their cocktails are far more generous compared to other places around here. We rarely get to go out for brunch (my favorite meal), and I have been dying to try Bowman's Sunday Brunch. We finally got to try it today. There were 5 of us, and it could not have been more lovely. Three of us had the omelette with potatoes and spring greens, one had the Eggs Benedict, and one had the beef stew (from the regular menu.) Every single one of us loved what we had chosen. We all shared the whipped Fulper Farms ricotta and crostini appetizer to start, which is one of my favorite things. Yum! The service by Carly and the rest of the extremely attentive staff was perfection, as always. And the music, provided by Bill Avayou and his group, was absolutely divine. You couldn't ask for a more perfect brunch experience, all around. I can't believe it took me so long to get to brunch at Bowman's.
This is a fun place with consistent food. The service is away good and the vib is friendly and up beat.
We've been going to Bowman's Tavern for many years because it's halfway between where my parents live and where I live. I've never understood why they have valet parking. We've only been at lunchtime so maybe it's more convenient for dinner time. I would prefer no valet parking. There's a parking lot very close to the restaurant so it doesn't seem necessary. Beth was our server. She was friendly and helpful. We had the Bowman's Burger, cheese steak, and sliced roast beef sandwich. The sliced roast beef sandwich had the best bread. For dessert, we had the brownie as well as churros which were on the special menu for today. Everything was delicious.
Bowman's Tavern has a cozy vibe for a cold day. On a Saturday afternoon, the bar was full, and the atmosphere still managed to be cozy. My husband ordered wings, which were pretty average. My turkey and cranberry sandwich was pretty good. The bar service was a bit slow, but to be fair, it seemed like there was only one person servicing the bar and restaurant area. Overall, I would probably go with 3.5 stars if that was an option.
Good food and service. Nice happy hour. Valet parking available, small parking lot without valet.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. A real gem to be discovered in bucks county ! You owe it to yourself to check this place out!!
It has been a few years since we ate at Bowman's Tavern, and we decided to have Happy Hour here tonight. It also happened to be Taco Tuesday. ----- FOOD (4/5) Roast Pork Sandwich (3/5 ) -- We shared a pork sandwich which was pulled pork on a long roll with broccoli rabe, roasted hot peppers, and melted provolone. The pork was braised rather than roasted, the broccoli rabe was under cooked with tough stems, and there was too much provolone for the amount of pork. ($17) Onion Rings (4/5) -- We were offered onion rings as one of the sides with the Pork Sandwich ... but not told there would be a $3 uplift. Fish & Chips (4/5) -- Two large Altantic cod fillets with fries and cole slaw. ($26) Tacos (3/5) -- The soft tacos ordered were Al Pastor and Carne Asada. There was a good amount of meat in each taco, but they lacked flavor and spice. ($8 per pair) ----- SERVICE (3/5) The restaurant was very busy, including a 17-person in the dining room, and understaffed. Our server was also tending the bar. Twice we had to chase her down. ----- DRINKS (5/5) Drinks from the bar were excellent. I had the Old Fashioned, and my wife had a Gin Martini, extra dry with olives. Both great. Others had Cosmopolitans and IPAs. ---- AMBIANCE (4/5) I really like the dark wood, pub-like interior. Tables in the bar area are hi-boys; there are standard tables in the dining room. The bar area was loud. A nice touch was live music.
