Hopewell Valley Bistro & Inn

Love eating here. Friendly staff, oftentimes live music, and delicious food, beautifully prepared. The green salad with pears, walnuts, and blue cheese topped with perfectly grilled salmon is a favorite. Also amazing desserts, and craft beers on tap. And they do great takeout. Not to be missed. (Took a photo of the salad but Google won't let me post it!)

We live nearby and hadn't eaten here for nearly a decade. We were brought back by their Thursday BBQ special (we takeout) which is outstandingly good. This past weekend decided to go in person and sat outside. The potato pancakes were great, the burger was fresh and the salad with Spring berries was nice. I am glad we returned and we will not wait long to visit again.

Was excited to try this place since it has Hungarian food in the menu. Once arriving, the inside is out dated and a little depressing. There were other patrons seated. Once seated we were welcomed and ask about our drink order immediately. On a Saturday night, they didn’t have too much of a crowd but were out of items already “sold out” from the menu including the chicken paprikas which I originally wanted. We order an order of pierogi, schnitzel , and stuffed cabbage. We got our pierogi which was clearly frozen (I'm assuming Mrs. T’s) . They were pan fried with nothing and had onion in the middle. For about 5 pierogi that was just under $10. Next when we got the main entrees . The schnitzel was ok..(not worth the almost $20) under seasoned with what seems to be boxed mashed potato’s. And

We loved this place about 8 years ago and found ourselves in the area again today. The hungarian dishes are delicious. The kielbasa was the best I have ever had. Everything is homemade. My husband had cream of spinach soup which tasted like it had just been made, super fresh tasting. Even the side of potato salad was homemade. For dessert we had the Esterhazy torte which was incredible. Hopefully it won't be another 8 years before we get back (we live over an hour and a half away.)

The food is fantastic, especially the Hungarian specialties! I've had the stuffed cabbage and the pierogis - not too heavy, not too salty, just right! Lots of craft beers and Guinness on tap! There's often music in the evenings in a separate room, and an Irish music session every other Sunday afternoon.
