Bucks County Inexpensive, Yet Charming Restaurants

Some of my favorite places to eat in Bucks County are little restaurants that only locals really know about.  These restaurants are unique in their own way and offer great food for low prices along with a unique atmosphere.

Pat's Colonial Kitchen 

Address:

127 South State Street

Newtown, PA 18940

Hours:

Monday - Sunday: 7:00am - 2:00pm

Pat's Colonial Kitchen

Pat's Colonial Kitchen is a cozy restaurant tucked away on State Street in Newtown. This family-oriented restaurant has a homey feel to it from its decor to its homemade breakfast and lunch options. 

Pat's Colonial Kitchen Unique Mugs and Homemade Jam

Many unique features will be found throughout your experience dining in what is locally referred to as Pat's Kitchen. Where else will you find a UPS cup in a restaurant? That is what makes Pat's so special. Each visitors experience is unique from the food they order to the cup they are given.  This is a place where no two mugs are the same.  

As for the strawberry jam pictured above, Pat's has mastered the art of jam making.  If you fall in love with the strawberry jam that accents each table, don't worry because you can own your very own jar. Located next to the cash register is their wall of jam.  Choose from a variety of different flavors to take home to enjoy whenever you like.  

Pat's offers a variety of fresh, homemade breakfast and lunch options. However, my favorite dish to order when I go is the three-egg omelette with cheddar cheese and pork roll inside with a side of hash brown and toast.  You must get some toast while you are at Pat's so you can try the jam.

Another favorite item to order is french toast.  Words cannot describe how heavenly their french toast is. If only I knew their secret recipe. 

Here is a more detailed view of the menu and their specials.

 What's so unique about State Street Kitchen is that they combine American classics with Korean classics that really can't be found anywhere else.

State Street Kitchen Specials

Tip: The hot ticket seat in State Street Kitchen are the tables next to the big window next to State Street. Enjoy some people watching while chowing down on homemade delicious food.  

Recommendations: If you are going for breakfast, any egg platter is recommended.  For lunch, the kimchi cheesesteak is beyond addicting. Finally, for the take-out dinners they offer, enjoy some shepherd's pie or hot roast beef platters. 

Erwin's Country Kitchen

Address:

4059 Brownsville Road

Trevose, PA 19053

Hours:

Monday: Closed

Tuesday - Sunday: 7:00am - 9:00pm

Erwin's Country Kitchen Exterior

Erwin's Country Kitchen is another quirky, small restaurant that offers exceptional food and service in Bucks County.  Just like Pat's Kitchen, you will notice that no two coffee mugs are alike.  You never know what kind of mug you will get.  You may get a Fourth of July mug in the dead of winter, or you may get a flower mug (both of which they do have).  

The first aspect of the restaurant that you will notice as soon as you walk in is the mural on the wall. This painting was done by hand and is meticulously crafted. Every time you walk in, you will notice something different on the mural because it is so detailed.  

Don't forget the piano in the corner.  You never know when someone will have the urge to play.  Also, make sure to take a look at the old time movie actor's pictures displayed along the walls.  How many of them can you name? 

Now, to the food. Erwin's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.  A recommendation for the big eaters in the family is the "big breakfast". This comes with two pancakes, two eggs, meat and toast.  Good luck finishing that one. 

Don't worry little eaters, Erwin's also offers a "little breakfast," which includes one pancake, one egg, meat and toast.

On the other hand, if you are looking for another type of breakfast dish, the breakfast wrap is always a great choice.  This is a wrap with eggs, cheese and your choice of meat mixed in along with a side of hash brown, which is my personal favorite.  

For dinner, Erwin's offers a great selection of choices ranging from traditional dinner entrees to seafood to German specialty dishes, since the owner and cook (Erwin) is German.

However, the best aspect of all about Erwin's are the cheese fries.  You will never be able to find cheese fries as delicious as Erwin's secret cheese sauce recipe.  When you order the cheese fries, you must indicate that you would specifically like Erwin's cheese sauce.  Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
