America Bowman Keeping Room

I went here for a birthday dinner and was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. We ordered a pretzel as an appetizer and it was huge! They make them in house. Sadly the only picture I took was of the drink we had all night lol. Very friendly staff!

There's nothing quite like a small town restaurant, so if you're looking for one, America Bowman is your destination. The dining room and surroundings are pretty old school, paper napkins, kerosene lamps on the table which they'll light if you request, and hearty helpings of everything so there's not a chance you're going to leave hungry. We opted to share a beer and cider sampler of 7 small glasses between three of us for lunch. That included their signature cream ale, but it was the hard cider that really stood out and stole the show.For lunch two of the three split the Shepard's Pie which was plenty for both, particularly after the massive basket of fried cheese curds with a dipping sauce. I opted for a seared salmon sandwich that came with fries--and a lot of them--too many for my appetite. No problem, as we had someone at home to bring a meal to.Service was polite and friendly and the prices are not unreasonable for a town this size. A real enjoy meal and a nice option for one of the main dining spots on the main street.If you're coming after 5:00, strongly suggest a visit next door to O'Malley's underground pub. There's nothing like it in the region.All major credit cards accepted. Strongly suggest you try that hard cider. That was something really special.

Stopped in on. Thursday @ 2:30. Not very busy...ordered fried pickles, delicious and very generous for sharing. The pot of gold drink was strong on pineapple and very light on Malibu and sour apple. The flight was a good deal but unfortunately flat. Possibly the tsps had not been used and beer sat in line ( disappointed) . The O'Malley was good, a bit messy with the cream ales Swiss cheese sauce. Tbh I did not taste any of the marinated slaw and spicy brown mustard. The service was fast and efficient.

Cute little restaurant and brewery in a quaint little town. Nestled into the hilly landscape of Weston, this little place screams of haunted houses and old school energy. When I walked in and looked around there was cases of beer on the floor - not like merch display but more like getting organized but didn't finish the job. No big deal. The front staff were all sitting on the bench and greeted me from sitting which threw me off. No big deal, just a little unprofessional from the start. Sat down, ordered a pretzel and a flight of beer. Of the seven pours of beer, only one was worth the calories - the O'Malley Stout - stunner of the night! I had the Shepard's pie for dinner - really tasty just not hot. I get it, it is a reheat item but it was almost cold in the middle. Did I send it back, no - for the following reason. I witnessed a very uncomfortable interaction between what looked like a manager and the waitstaff. The manager brought my food out and then told the waitstaff that they were responsible for getting food to their tables - this was done in a very curt manner. Overall, food was OK. Beer was OK - I should know, I tried seven of them. Service was less than stellar. Not a repeat for me.

We went here for lunch on a Tuesday. Food was delicious! I hadn't been here since 1996 or so, no specific reason. We were the only ones there at around 2:00pm. Service was prompt, polite and the food was exactly as described in the menu. Next time I want to try the Ale Cheese soup, you can add it to your meal for $2. Portions were good sized, we sure didn't leave hungry! Would highly recommend. It's well worth the drive from Leavenworth and not too far from the Northland.

First time we sat inside. Very nice quaint atmosphere. The service and food were awesome, just like the food! Highly recommend the fish and chips, and the cider!

Had my traditional birthday meal at America Bowman in Weston last night. It's always a given that we get the scotch eggs, because they're just cooked perfectly with a light honey mustard like sauce. (Two hard-boiled eggs wrapped in our house made sausage, breaded and fried to crispy perfection).Dinner is always a toss-up between the Shepard's Pie (Ground beef topped with Irish Stout gravy, green beans, colcannon potatoes, cheddar cheese and served with a pub roll) and Beef in Stout (Tender beef sirloin and onions in a Gaelic sauce served up hot with colcannon potatoes and a pub roll.)I was happy to find that they now do take reservations, so you can stop in while you're out and about in Weston and make a reservation for your dinner time, it was much appreciated! The service is always friendly and fast, and they serve Weston brewing beers on tap. The atmosphere is mostly candlelight, so it's hard to get a good photo unless you sit outside. Trust me though, photos aren't necessary to understand how absolutely delicious their food is.

My fiancé and I stopped in for a homemade from scratch pretzel and cheese sauce which was oh so delicious! We tried the American lager and the Irish liquor both were tasty! Our waitress was very attentive. This is MUST SEE!

Came with a bigger group and had reservations. They have a couple big rooms if you have a larger party. Started off with Scotch eggs & fried pickles. Scotch eggs are a must have. Ordered fried pickles as well to split amongst 3 people. I couldn't decide between ham and cheese pye & shepherds pie so I picked one and my friend picked the other. Shepherds pie was by far better if you needed to choose 1.The service was great for such a large group. The beers were good, not pictured. Got the cream ale and Gretchen. Enjoyed them both, cream ale a little more than Gretchen. Great spot not too far from Kansas City.

This was my second time at the American Bowman. The first time was in the summer, and we had a large group (12+) and the service was not on it's A-game, so that why I've got to take a star off. This time I went with a group of 8. Our waitress was so wonderful, service was fast and the food was great! It's a cute place a little drab inside, but if you want that classic country vibe in Weston, it's spot on. To start we had the fried pickles, cheese curds and Scotch eggs. I would recommend all of these, but the cheese curds were my favorite because they were super fresh and delicious! Our waitress recommended the cheddar ale soup, so I had that with my meal and it was incredible. Very comforting and has a light ale flavor to it. The crispy chicken sandwich was basic, but prepared well. There was a sauce that came with the Scotch, and I'd recommend getting that on the side with the sandwich. The fries were just what you'd expect at an Irish style pub, thick, crispy and soft in the middle. So good! Everyone else in my group enjoyed their meals! Overall, good spot if you're hanging out in Weston. Definitely, hit up the underground bar after to keep the day/evening going!
