Hotel Saxonburg

I have been meaning to come to The Hotel Saxonburg for over a decade, ever since I read an article about old spots like it, but I don't live close and it took me until now to get here. There were enough really recent negative reviews to make me wonder if it was worth it, but I took a chance and dove in. Really glad I did: the place was packed on a Friday night, and it was easy to see why: good food; strong cocktails; and somebody who took the time to pull draft Guinness properly (there are probably fewer than a dozen places in Western PA that do that; this is one). The bad reviews on here seem to be mostly: a) people who came on a holiday or as part of a huge group; or b) people who remember this place from 10 or 20 years ago and don't think that the HS of today matches their memories. I'm willing to believe them, but as a neutral non-local who came on a regular Friday night, I had a good experience. Would gladly do it again if life brings me back to Saxonburg.

Very disappointed. Had great service in the past. But today slow service in 2-1/2 hours only got 2 cocktails and no time for dessert. Main meal I would have expected real potatoes. I understand it's a holiday but just a little more effort would have gone a long way.

Nothing enjoyable about dinner tonight at Hotel Saxonburg. We will never go back. I tried calling after we left to speak with the manager but she was so disrespectful and rude. She said that we took our food home so it had to be okay. We had a new waitress but she was not the problem. It took us 30 mins to get drinks, over an hour for salads after we asked for them. Almost 2 hours for our meals that then came out luke warm at best. The tables around us were never cleared, no soap in the bathroom, no locks on the stalls. They blamed homecoming but the kids were coming out as we went in. Oh and we were comped 2 drinks on a really expensive meal. Wow! We use to love it there

Have you ever seen anything like this on a menu? Please read the bottom.I am appalled at this. This place has gone DOWNHILL under the new ownership. Sad that it is no longer the down home place it used to be.

I still have to give four stars because the food was amazing just like I always expect. They seem to be very unprepared and understaffed today for Mother's Day, despite us making reservations. They are not usually open on Sundays. Hopefully, next year they will plan a little better. We waited about an hour and 15 minutes after ordering to receive our food. The people behind us waited at least an hour and a half, and an hour just to get drinks. Despite all of this, the staff was kind. Food delicious. We will go back again.

Would give a zero if I could. I have been coming here for 50 yrs and will be my last visit as of tonight. The drinks were horrible-doesn't even taste like Tanqueray and gin, which speaks to how they are cheating the patrons with their cheap antics. And the other mixed drinks were horrible. That's pretty sad you can't even get a decent drink.The food took forever to arrive and we were only 2 of the 10 people there and 3 were at the bar. Clam strips-NOT sure what cheap imitation those are. Also they were over cooked. The remoulade sauce no flavor. Salads only cheap arugula, maybe 2 cranberries and barely and blue cheese in the larger dinner salad. Homemade dressing had NO flavor. Think twice about eating here just because it's the only restaurant around. What a way to ruin a landmark. Very sad and pathetic it's all about money and robbing your patrons.

Certainly not the Saxonburg Hotel. Not impressed with the food or service. probably won't go back any time soon unless I hear better reviews.

They have been good in the past however when we were there they did not have their liquor license yet and the server we had was new and slow

We have been coming here for many years, 30 or more. Four of us ate there recently. Our waiter was pleasant. The food was excellent and hot. However, we arrived at 6 pm and our food arrived at 7:45. No one stopped at our table to apologize for the long wait time. This occurred on a mid week evening, and there were few patrons.

We came to this restaurant thinking it was a small cute restaurant, but little did we know, it isn't. Our food was cold, we could tell it was reheated, and it took an hour and a half to come. Do not recommend
