Overpriced and underspiced, with staff that blames you behind your back for their mistakes. That was our experience here on this trip. My family and me ate here. I had a cod sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw was the only thing that was remotely okay, it was a little on the sweet side but had a good acidity balance. First off my dad ordered a house salad with his meal and blue cheese dressing for his salad. When the salad was brought out there was no dressing on or around the salad. This in of itself is not a huge issue, we simply informed the waitress about it. She said, and I quote "Is there not dressing on that salad? I could have sworn I put that dressing on there. Oh well Ill get you some more". I myself got up to use the bathroom which happens to take me right past where the servers work and go into the kitchen. Upon passing my server was loudly talking to another server and I heard her say "I put dressing on that salad, I KNOW I DID" and the other waitress agreed with her and told her she did. Now, she physically saw the salad on her table, and saw there was no dressing on it, so why would she go back up and complain loudly and in front of all the other customers that she put it on there? I dont know....... I suppose Im nitpicking, but as someone who works in restaurants, its just unprofessional to see someone talking and acting like that in front of all her other customers. I would have let it go, but the food wasnt very good either. The meal that I had was 9.99, and in the picture for the food (yes I know, the picture doesnt always reflect the food) the fish sandwich showed the meat, lettuce, and a white sauce (mayonnaise or tartar? I couldnt tell) served on a kaiser bun, but when served I was just given the meat, on a plan bun. No lettuce, no mayo. Now, under normal circumstances I would have just asked for the missing condiments, but after hearing what I heard the server say I was honestly disinclined to point out anymore errors. Who would want to point out an issue or mistake, even an honest or simple one, when you think the person you are telling is just going to go talk crap about it behind your back to everyone? Not it. The fries had no salt, no pepper, nothing. Just grease and starch. Theres alot of ways this meal could have been good, alot of simple things that could have been easily fixed, not done, or handled better. Any of it would have improved my trip. What I was left with however was a feeling of overpriced, underseasoned food, and a kitchen staff who must not care about attention to detail (I mean really, who serves just a fish sandwich on a plain bun? not even fast food places would do that to you) and servers who serve each others egos more than their guests. I truly hope this isnt the norm for them, maybe it was a bad day? Maybe they were short staffed? Maybe I should have manned up and asked for the missing condiments. I will never know, as I wont be going back. 10-14 a plate for a chance to be disappointed isnt a risk Im willing to take again.

We have lived in Liberty 19 years. Sad to say we have only eaten at Liberty Bell maybe 10 times because they have to have the worst service and some of the rudest waitresses around. I talked my wife into trying here again last night. She reluctantly agreed and as it turned out I should have listened to her. We dont ask for much. Nice sit down meal, good food and friendly service. The waitress was so rude I felt like an inconvenience to just place my order. My wife ordered Cole slaw with her meal which was slammed and slid so hard at her it would have went off the table if the wall had not been there. It made her mad to ask for drink refills that she could clearly see were empty. I had gotten there fish special and there was no tartar sauce on plate. I asked could I please have some. After an eye roll and 10 min I finally got some thrown at me. And it was hot but I thought maybe it was just by a warm plate. As it was I really believe it was bad sauce sitting out for too long done on purpose to prove a point. I was up sick all night. No more chances for this place. This was not a new waitress. She has been there as long as I can remember. Sad thing is all we were looking for was a nice meal and decent service. The food is usually good but by no way is worth the treatment you are given. Bottom line.....if you are looking to be treated like a huge inconvience whenever you step in by all means try Liberty Bell. Looking for pleasant meal and atmosphere? Go elsewhere.

Probably the better breakfasts in town. Good choices, even steak & eggs. Low marks for the unfriendly service and removing the second set of doors from front entrance that lets cold air blast in. Dont sit near the door. Maybe they had to do this for ADA but could have been done better. Did not get a ticket so went to the counter...told them that I had not seen the waitress since she took our order so no refills. Also that my gravy had a hair in it and that the ketchup in the packets was very dark and probably expired. No comment from the girl at the counter. They dont have napkins on the tables so make the only one they give you last. The food quality, despite the issues noted above, is generally good as I have eaten here many times. It is a bit noisy inside. The restrooms are clean.

My husband received a sandwich with mold on the bun. We realize that everyone makes mistakes. We ask for a new sandwich. At no point did anyone come and speak with this about the matter . When I received the bill I asked if my husbands sandwich could be comped due to the moldy bun issue. I was told no because he got a new sandwich.( because I guess he was expected to eat the moldy bun). That was by one of the employees not the manager that couldnt be bothered to come out and speak with me. The rest of the food seems to be fine and tasted fine. I just dont understand the lack of customer service.

Honestly, the food and service at this place is hit or miss. They have good fried chicken and comfort food items but anything else is scary. I tried the burrito supreme and it was a 1/2 pound of unseasoned dog food. My friends shrimp Alfredo smelled spoiled. The party we came with ordered on a separate check and didnt get their food for 45 minutes after we did. If you come here stick to simple food items and youll have a good meal.

We have eaten at the Liberty Bell Restaurant 3-5 times a year. Last Monday 6/27/15, and we were very disappointed! The waitress was very curt and once she brought our food never checked back to see if we needed anything else. We had to ask for check. The mean was disappointing also....the tenderloin tasted like it was cooked in old oil and the French fries were cold. Truly doubt that we will ever eat there again.
