Cactus Grill

Lots of Applebees type food. Atmosphere is a bit bare and grundgy. I was there for an early dinner, but I think it may hit its stride when the have the live music.

This is the place to go for the most finger licking good ribs! Great place to spend time with family and friends for lunch/​dinner. Staff are also very friendly. You can also call for pick up and enjoy at home!
Bön appétit!

I have eaten here several times and am never disappointed. The burgers are fabulous and the beer is cold! Just be careful of the almost hidden entry/​exit to the main road this is easy to miss and hard to get back to. It is worth the trip.

As a chef, I tend to stay home and cook, rather than go out.
However, I really enjoy coming here for lunch AND dinner. With a cozy cabin vibe, and a very pleasant staff; its intimate and warm.
The food has always been perfectly cooked and served within a 15 to 20 minute window.

Update 1 — the menu has really been scaled back from what I remember. It is nice to be sitting outside overlooking the farm.
I’ve been here for lunch with my wife and dinner with another couple. They have a good menu — I remember having a hard time selecting what to get because multiple items sounded good. Food was very good both times I ate there. Would return again.

Ate there last night with friends. The place. Was quiet, no live music, so it was pleasant.
We had the ribs and we agreed that they were quite good if a little on the sweet side. The beer selection is good and I had a draft cider, also a little sweet.
Overall very good food and service. We agreed we would go there again.

Lately, my wife and I find ourselves coming back here after considering the many alternates. The food is very good; there are always specials, so that the menu doesn’t get stale with repeated visits. The portions are generous, nicely presented. The drinks are well-​made (strong but not too strong). The weekend entertainment is a nice bonus, too. The staff is friendly but not overly chatty. To quote my wife: we have never had a bad meal here. It’s a little far from Doylestown, but there in no traffic at all. The laid-​back atmosphere is perfect for us, we always feel comfortable. Keep up the great work, Cactus Grill!
I read through the reviews here and some of the complaints about service seem exaggerated (some people are almost impossible to please and hyper-​critical). The complaints about the food, in my experience, are unfounded. I guess any establishment can have a bad day (main chef out sick/​vacation, etc.) but we have never been disappointed. Definitely check out the specials; there are at least four boards around the restaurant listing them, but even so you may have to get up and go to one to be able to read them (one is right at the entrance).
One final comment, although some have noted that this is not a «fancy» place, it is always CLEAN! To me, that is a really critical issue.

Great view and location! Live music definitely a plus. BBQ — not what I call the best around. Veggies in my plate did not look fresh either. Wish this place had better food, and I would definitely make it a favorite.

Unexpectedly good. Ribs we’re really good and not fatty.
Would come back here.
Nice outdoor space… not expensive either.
Recommended.

The food was great, the service was not bad but your at a place called the Cactus Grill not the Lowes hotel so for me that’s alright. My only complaint is that after I ordered my food, I saw a board that said «Specials» and they looked pretty good. How do you expect me to order something that’s not on the menu if you don’t tell me about it? What I ordered was delicious anyway so I’ll just have to remember to look at the board before I order next time.

I really enjoy going to Cactus Grill.
The FOOD: It’s pretty great, not exceptional but really very good. Can be a a little pricey though. I strongly recommend the Black Bean Dip.
The SERVICE: It’s slow. If you’re really really hungry and trying to get in and out then this is not the place to go. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a fun yet relaxing night, get some drinks (I recommend the patron margarita), go on a night when they have a band playing. I’ve started enjoying the slower service there, they don’t rush you and they are happy if you want to hang out a while which I find lacking in other places that just want to turn tables.
Overall: If you want to go here. First, make a reservation on a night when there’s a band. Their website has dates of when bands will be there. Second, plan to hang out a while. If you’re in a rush, DO NOT go. Third, relax, have a drink and have fun.
Me and my boyfriend love going here. We’re younger (mid 20’s) but there’s a mix of ages. It’s really a great atmosphere. You don’t need to be dressed up but you can get a little fancy if you’d like.

Pretty solid food and service. Apparently there is no air conditioning though. There are ceiling fans, but it’s really not quite enough, and it wasn’t scorching on the night we went. I really love the atmosphere. Super casual, anti-​fancy. No starched uniforms, linens, nouveau décor, or whatever. The tables could’ve been picnic tables. Over all, I’ll go again.

The atmosphere was great. The food was much more «fancy» than they let on, and that’s a good thing. The Chicken Arrezzio was really tasty and the Cactus Duo that my friends had was great too. Scott, our server was knowledgable and very friendly. Great experience!

I hadn’t been here for quite a while, but decided to stop in with some of my biking buds.
Glad we did! Food and service was great! I started with the best Crab Bisque I ever had… Fantastic! Then had the featured seafood entrée which was also superb. All my friends enjoyed their meal, too!
Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Solid 3 stars. Maybe verging on 2.5. I never liked coming here as a kid. One big plus is that they have nice outdoor seating. The food is pretty good. But the service is absolutely, terribly slow. While I’ve only been here maybe 3x in the past 5 years, I’ve never been impressed by the service.
I had run a 10k the morning of coming here… and by dinner I was starving! I had asked for a salad before my meal, which never seemed to come. I hate when I get my salad 30 seconds before my main meal, so I went over to my waitress who was talking with the other servers in the bar area, and asked her if I could have my salad. I also said «I’m a runner, and I love bread, can we have that too?» — because all of the other tables seemed to have bread except us. She was all nice about it and said sure. So I went back to my table, but as I was walked back I happened to turn around and saw her rolling her eyes to the other servers about it. So uh, that kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I have been a server in the past and I wasn’t an ass about how I asked. I get that you’re «busy» (this place was not busy) but you could at least say «sorry about the wait I’ll have that right out to you» or something. I don’t think I had an unreasonable request. But whatever I guess. Which is why this place is 3 stars. Food is ok. Service is crap. If I happen to go back and experience differently I’ll let ya know.

From the outside this restaurant appears like just a local bar, it is anything but… I had the Marie chicken it was wonderful! My husband had the chicken and spinach ravioli he said it was very good! Even the fresh baked rolls were very good! They have fresh brewed ice tea which is always A+ in my book. We highly recommend this restaurant!

A Five Star eating experience camouflaged as a honky-​tonk. We have gone to this restaurant 5 times now and have tried different things each time and every time was a pleasure. FINALLY, good food at affordable prices in Upper Bucks County! I sure hope they don’t lose this chef. He cares about the food he puts out.

Stopped here for dinner after taking a long drive for a class at the state park.
The wings were perfectly edible. I wouldn’t call it cheap. But there really isn’t anything out there in that area…

Always have a good experience here. Really nice place to sit outside when the weather is nice. Prices could be a little better but comparable for the area (actually, there are plenty of places around here charging the same price for lower quality food). Service is normally good, could have been a little quicker for those of us running in on a lunch break.

Besides the food being really good (especially the ribs), I have to commend the owner, Mary, on a job well done.
My husband and I brought my dad and his girlfriend to the Cactus Grill one
Friday night when they were visiting from California. The wait was close to two hours and we were all really hungry, so we left.
We went back the next Friday to try again. We decided to do this at the very last minute, so I didn’t call ahead (the lesson I learned the week prior), and when we got there, Mary said we were looking at a wait of an hour and a half. My company wanted to wait, though, so we set up shop in the bar, where the bartender treated us very nicely.
My dad gave Mary the sob story that we tried to eat at her fine establish the week before and had to leave, and that he’s visiting from California and that his daughter is such an angel and that he begged her (me) to bring him back. And instead of smacking him upside the head (which he totally would have deserved), she made arrangements to have a post-​storm outside table wiped down– about 30 minutes after we put our name in.
Our server was friendly and accommodating, the band was pretty good, and all of us cleaned our plates and licked our fingers for those last remnants of good bbq.
To be fair and balanced, shortcomings include that we had to ask for water initially; the quesadilla appetizer was not very quesadilla-​y; and we were given a hard time about not calling ahead.
