Rider’s 1812 Inn

My family and I went to Rider’s Inn for their Easter Brunch and it was certainly NOT worth the cost of $ 29.99 per person. The restaurant was not very busy during our time there at 11:30 am. But yet, we were crammed in like sardines against a back wall and very uncomfortable. There was hardly enough room to really sit comfortably. Getting out of seats to actually get to the buffet was navigating people like the game of Tetris. The buffet was definitely not laid out well at all and lacked any sort of side dish. If you were a vegetarian, you were out of luck (we were not fortunately). There were no veggies at all. When I had asked for ketchup, I was given a small cup of ketchup. Then the cost of any drink whether it be coffee, soda or iced tea was an additional $ 3.00, ridiculous! Good luck finding any sugar! For a drink refill, I had to track down a server which I could always locate at the bar area. My bill with tip was $ 200 and needless to say I could have spent this kind of money at a much better and more comfortable restaurant. Our first and last time at Riders Inn.

An interesting old B&B that has some history and is supposedly haunted too. The bar has some patine to it. If the walls could talk they’d have some stories I’m sure. The main dining area was cozy. When we arrived there were some ladies playing cards at one table adding to the charm of this establishment.
On this visit I had the French dip sandwich. It was served with a side of au jus and lightly battered steak fries. The sandwich fantastic. The roll was fresh with ample portion of thinly carved roast beef, grilled onions and melted provolone cheese. The au jus was steaming hot and rich with beef flavor. Perfect for dipping into.
Ive been here a few times for lunch and enjoy their good service. The food quality is high and the dining area is clean and tidy.

Really good food good pub menu I liked the French dip full of flavor the stuffed mushrooms where a treat and bread pudding was amazing.

Cozy place, friendly staff. We stayed here three nights while attending a wedding weekend. The rooms are on the small side but we fit four adults, one child and two infants into two rooms connected by a bath. The rooms were clean and well equipped. Breakfast was generously portioned and delicious. Our rehearsal dinner was good too, save room for the bread pudding, even if you have to share. The rooms are quiet during the well but they do have music downstairs on the weekend. The volume wasn’t more than a radio playing in our room and it ends at 11 pm. We would definitely stay again.

We gambled on this B&B early in our bike ride cross country and were pleasantly surprised. Nice old inn, decent size rooms, great service (allowed us to use a separate room for our bikes), and had great food. The Potato leek soup was fantastic.

Stayed overnight and had breakfast which was included in the room price. There were 7 – 8 breakfast entrees to choose from, oddly written with pen on a sheet of notebook paper carried by the waiter/​host. Strange but ok. My standard eggs-​toast-​potatoes were fine as were my wife’s poached eggs.
Ambiance: deserted inn, struggling to survive. We were going to eat lunch there the day before when we arrived, but when we got there at prime lunch time at 1:30 on a Saturday, there was no one there. I generally make it a point not to be a kitchens only customer. Not a good sign.
Kind of a crazy goofy place that trades on some ghost stories. But we wouldn’t go back.

This restaurant is in a very, very old bed and breakfast. A brief history available in the lobby indicates that it was involved in the Underground Railroad, and is currently haunted.
At 6 PM on a Friday night this place was dead (maybe ghostly handy work?) For a time, we were the only people there. All things considered, it’s a bit pricey. The food is pretty good. They had a very interesting garlic vinaigrette salad dressing, unusual but very good. The Steak Suzanne (similar to Steak Diane) was very tender and the mushroom sauce was flavorful. The rack of lamb looked great. The Connecticut Yankee Pot Roast was okay, nothing spectacular. The fresh veggies served with each dish were excellent, but the mashed potatoes were not very good. I’m not sure if it was a lack of butter or milk, but they weren’t very creamy and had little to no flavor.
Their choice of dinning music was atrocious; the greatest hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s in an eclectic mix might work in a waffle house or other greasy spoon, but not in dining room with table cloths, cloth napkins, and $ 20 to $ 30 entrees.
Overall, the food is good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here.

Nice atmosphere. Elaine, the greeter seemed half in the bag at 8 pm (that means drunk). They have a house dog named snukki, we loved hem. We heard rumors of ghosts. We did get many «uncomfortable» feelings while in the hotel but never saw a ghost. The food was good but the water tasted funny. Bring your own pillows.
Update: the breakfast in bed was late.

I stayed here for a week during a business trip last December. The owner was very friendly and often chatted with her in the evenings. The rest of the staff was cheerful and friendly but the rooms need some upgrading… My bed wasn’t very comfortable… The faucets and shower heads needed replacing. There was also a burglary in the room across from me while I was staying there…
It was nice having a pub and a restaurant in the same building downstairs. However, the live music on Fridays and weekends could get a bit loud for those staying in the rooms above!
