Dog and Deer Tavern at Stockton Inn

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience. The tavern is a small intimate setting, service is attentive. The wine offerings (by the glass) were above average. I had the Branzino and my husband had the scallops. Each cooked perfectly! Would definitely go back.

Where do I even start… AMAZING. The service, the food, the people, the atmosphere, all of it. I’d give it 6 stars if I could! The NA drinks were amazing, we tried the P.O.G and it was so good- you could taste each of the flavors (passionfruit, orange, guava). The hosts and servers were amazing, very kind and answered any questions we had! The food was next level and in my book- perfect. We shared the crab & artichoke dip along with the steak tartar and finished with the tropical sundae. The dip was amazing, the bread given with the dip is amazing by itself but together they go perfectly. The steak tartar is so good between the flavors and consistency you can’t even tell it’s raw steak. The tropical sundae is definitely my favorite. It is light and refreshing after dinner, the flavors of the pineapple and coconut and subtle lime shavings go perfectly together. Definitely recommend, definitely worth the price, definitely coming back!

Fantastic night at the reimagined and fabulously redone dog and deer tavern at the Stockton Inn. Our server Frank was friendly and attentive as was every employee we encountered. The cocktails were served in beautiful high quality glasses which I appreciate! Everything we ordered was beyond wonderful. Steak and burger cooked perfectly. Fresh seafood. Wonderful salad, crab claws, hot dip and focaccia. Outside area looks stunning and we loved the intimate cozy nature of our table inside. Only complaint is that we wish closer to Yardley, but we will back often. Worth the trek! Highly recommend and loved, loved!!

I had dinner with some friends on a Friday night and it was great atmosphere and place to spend time. I found it to be a weird space though and the wait staff was not the best. Food was delicious though! We split the Focaccia and Pepperoni Pizza as starters. The pizza was very good. I got a Kale Caesar as my entree and it was delicious - covered in Parmesan cheese. If you are in the area, definitely give this place a look!

A beautiful atmosphere paired with incredible food and stellar drinks. The Dog and Deer Tavern provides a wonderful dining experience steeped in local history. The moment you walk through the door you’re greeted with a warm welcome and helped promptly, I was lucky enough to find a seat at the bar. Throughout my meal the staff were gracious and thoughtful, my bartender was very attentive and friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a better time, Stockton Inn is back and better than ever.

STOCKTON: Stockton Inn is a classy hotel in a newly renovated historic building with a few dog friendly rooms and we enjoyed one of their restaurants, Dog & Deer Tavern, that offers an outdoor terrace where leashed and friendly dogs are allowed. A fully covered space, and heated in chilly weather, the fine dining menu is exquisitely prepared and we indulged in the sourdough focaccia starter and the D&D burger as an entree. Sitting at the bar, we had front row seats to Brian, the bar manager, and mixologist extraordinaire. He was creating beautiful and mouth watering cocktails as seen in more metropolitan cities. He brings a level of experience and taste to New Jersey that we look for on our excursions. Truly excellent. The ambiance of the outdoor space is elegant while being approachable. With different areas to sit and nature views, we especially loved the relaxing waterfall. The walkway into the space is also a treat. Whether you visit on a day trip or overnight, you will have an amazing experience at Dog & Deer Tavern.

A wonderful dining experience in a beautifully renovated historic building. Our waiter, Sam, could not have been better! He was very professional and very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was some of the best I've had and the desserts were awesome. We ate inside and it was a bit noisy so we checked out the outdoor dining before we left and it was toasty warm even though it was raining and in the '40s. I think next time we would opt for the patio dining if it's available.

I come from a background of great food and great drinks, and I am often sorely disappointed from the dining options that New Jersey has to offer. If you are looking for a place with amazing drinks, elevated food, and staff with gracious hospitality, then look no further than the Dog and Deer Tavern. The entire complex is redone and renovated and is jaw dropping to someone who hasn’t been there since before it closed and reopened. Their head chef has a Michelin star to his name and it is evident in all of the dishes that come out of that kitchen. The drinks, hand crafted and selected by renowned bartender Brian Miller, will have you questioning what you have been drinking before coming to Dog and Deer and wondering where customer favorites drinks, such as The Conference (an old fashion on steroids), has been your entire life. Everything about this place is an example of what restaurants should strive to be. Good-luck finding a place like this not in New York City! They have earned themselves a customer for life and if you haven’t stopped in yet what are you waiting for?? The magic of the Stockton Inn awaits!
