Heres our experiences Id love to share: 1.) A few months back, my boyfriend and his friend had gone here to have dinner. A young woman had just started working here and was a little slow because she was still learning. So Michelle (another waitress, brown hair and older) began "helping" the young woman because Michelle had gotten frustrated. Not only was Michelle rude, but she was also slower than the girl who had just started. The food had taken two hours to come to the table and the restaurant was not even crowded. 2.) My boyfriend and I had decided to go back because maybe the last time they were just having a rough night. The restaurant was not crowded and everything seemed to be going well. We sat down and had a blonde older waitress named Pam. This woman was not only so rude, but she also had said to us, "I dont know what the F*** is going on at the bar and why it is taking so long. I will be back in a minute". About ten minutes later she came over with my boyfriends beer and never after that did she ask if he wanted another one. The food as always was out of this world, which is why we always come back, but our waitress always seems to be so nasty. We even caught her yelling at both of the busboys and cursing at them. Very professional!! We both wound up agreeing on leaving in hopes that next time would be better. 3.) Two months later, my boyfriend and I decided to go back just for appetizers. We had Michelle again as our waitress. She spoke to us when we walked in and to give us our check. The busboys and girl took care of us throughout the whole night and they were absolutely wonderful! The food was very good as always, but again our waitress was not. I asked one of the workers if they split the tips when we were walking out because I do not think she deserved anything from us. I wish we could have given the people who actually helped and were nice to us their own tip instead of to that horrid woman. Long story short, the busboys and girls are awesome. The chef is amazing!! The bar tender is pretty great! As for the waitresses, such a disappointment. I never rate any place, but this by far needed to be said because I feel that the people actually being awesome do not get recognized enough. From now on we will be sitting at the bar to get our food and my boyfriend can get his drinks that way...or we will order it to go. Absolutely disgusted with the waitresses every time, and being that I work with the public every day and know how stressful at times it may get, this is absolutely unacceptable in my opinion. ...But you know who asked me? Certainly NOT the waitress. LOL

Had dinner last Thursday with 6 other men. We have dinner once monthly. The food was decent. I had Veal which was tender. One of the men in our group celebrated his 80th birthday and my wife made special cub cakes for me to take for us to enjoy. When I placed the container on the table the waitress came over and said to remove them immediately because there are cameras and the owner is watching! We were all amazed by her remark. She then told us it was a liability issue because we might eat something not served by their restaurant and have a problem and then sue them. What a crazy and stupid statement that would have no merit in a court of law! If the real reason is that we didnt choose to purchase dessert from them then I can understand. Its too bad because now they lost an opportunity for our business. Generally we have a couple drinks in the bar before dinner and 3 or 4 of us have a drink after dinner. The average dinner tab is about $200 without alcohol. So goodbye Yardville Inn! Well take our business elsewhere.

First, I have to say that my maternal Grandfather and Grandmother met at the Yardville Inn (Yardville Hotel) in the early 1930s!! Because of that chance meeting, I can give my review! Thanks Nan & Pop! The Yardville Inn gives you the opportunity to have something as casual as their wonderful homemade soups and sandwiches for lunch, to an all out dinner experience! My wife and I are pretty much regulars because the food, the high level of service that Leigh Anns staff provides, and the cozy charm just adds to their wonderful menu choices! Weekly specials for apps & dinners, and daily soup specials that are out of this world! You have to try the Crab Bisque because it will blow you away. There is something for everyone, food, drinks and great friendly service! If you are in the area and looking for a place to stop in for lunch or dinner, The Yardville Inn is an absolute must!!

Every weekend for over a year I have been bringing my students (125 in 2009) to lunch at the Yardville Inn. They all rave about the food, from the Yardville Chicken Sandwich to the Filet mignon (Which you can cut with a butter knife). The specials are imaginative and extremely tasty. The prices are way below what you would expect to pay for such quality food and we have never had any poor service. If anything our servers are beyond professional and very friendly. I guess the best praise is the fact that many of my students go there to eat now and bring friends and family. Chet

I made my first visit to the Yardville Inn on the recommendation of a friend. The food was very good, but the service was lousy. The servers spent more time seating customers they couldnt even handle than waiting on seated guest. We were all looking forward to dessert and coffee, but left without ordering after waiting 15+ minutes to order dessert after our plates were cleared. First and last visit.

Very bad I usually go here to just grab a six pack but the day I decide to actually go in Matt v was nasty to me because I overheard customers talking about killing owls. Pretty messed up and shady he told me to leave right after hearing that. Strange and the wine was free but ok cool great any suggestions feel free Im trying to contact someone in management this whole situation is messed up

We went as a family after a long day of travel. The food was amazing. The decor is a little dark. I ordered the chicken fra diavlolo which was out of this world. I was so excited to try it since it is usually made with seafood and Im not a big fan. My two kids and husband all loved their food too. We will absolutely go back the next time we are in town.

This place has been around a long time. The liquor store has a great selection and the staff is VERY helpful. The bar is an old favorite and the drink prices are cheaper than most other places. They opened up the bar to include the old dining area and now serve excellent Tavern fare. I mean REALLY good food.

I thought I was going to a quaint, rustic bar. Wrong. It is a dive bar with an over priced menu. You think you are getting restaurant quality food then they serve you premade, processed food. To top it off, they warm it up in a microwave.
