Bucks County is home to a lot of restaurants, both corporate-owned and mom-and-pop
establishments. Considering one can have a meal from McDonald’s literally anywhere
in the world, the focus here will be on Bucks County’s local flavor.
Here we present an assortment of restaurants, ranging from a simple diner food to
pizza and even Chinese cuisine. Bucks County is also the closest thing one can get to getting
an authentic “Philly Cheesesteak” without actually having to take a drive downtown

Bucks County is home to a lot of restaurants, both corporate and family owned Which are the best?

Place One
Bensalem
The Great American
Diner and Pub
Bensalem
The Great American Diner and Pub is a
very well known place in Bucks County.
It has two locations, one in Bensalem
off of Street Road and another in
Langhorne off of Old Lincoln Highway.
The “Pub,” as many locals call it is
unique in that offers both a pub a
diner experience. The Bensalem
restaurant is almost like two different
restaurants in one. There is a section
that is set up like a diner and an area
set up as a bar. The diner area has big
open windows with a nice view of
Street Road allowing customers to
view traffic while they eat. The bar
side of the restaurant has a more subdued
look. It is darker because of the
lack of big windows and it has dimmer
lighting. There is a jukebox in this
room which has a wide
range of music allowing
anybody to
enjoy a song or
two of their
choice. The
menu has a vast
array of flavors.
Burgers, boneless
buffalo wings, pasta,
salads, steak, fish; there is so much to
choose from that it can be overwhelming.
Tony’s King of
Pizza
Bensalem
Tony’s King of Pizza in Bensalem has a
bold name, and it certainly lives up to
it. Tony’s offers the usual
“pizza place” foods: hoagies,
burgers, wings fries,
etc. While the King may
lack a unique menu, it is
easily made up for by the
quality of their food.
Catherine’s
Bensalem
Catherine’s in Bensalem on Bristol
Road is another diner. It caters to oldschool
American cinema with their
breakfast specials, named after celebrities:
the Rodney Dangerfield,
Humphrey Bogart and the Elvis Presley
are just a few of them. On their kid’s
menu they have the Mickey Mouse
waffle, so even younger kid’s have a
recognizable icon to see. Another cool
thing about Catherine’s is the movie
posters that line the walls.
“Casablanca” and “Gone with the
Wind” are a couple of notable films
represented. There is also the classic
picture of Marilyn Monroe standing
over the grate trying to keep her dress
down.
Golden Eagle
Croydon
Golden Eagle is a classic in Croydon.
It’s located on Route 13 and like the
Pub, it has a room with huge windows,
and it looks really neat from the outside.
The food at the Golden Eagle is
respectable, but one of the things that
separates it from other diners is the
bakery case. It is located
in the
front of the
diner so that
customers
cannot miss
it. The case
is full of lot of
good-looking
sweets, such
as pies and
cannoli.
All Star Pizza
Bensalem
All Star Pizza is a pizzeria located on
Knights Road in Bensalem. The pizza
is some of the best in Bucks County.
An assortment of pastas, such as
spaghetti, penne, manicotti, ziti and
lasagna grace the menu, because All
Star is owned by an Italian family.
Apollo’s
Bensalem
Apollo’s on Route 13 in Bensalem has
some of the best cheesesteaks and
hoagies in the area. Their cheesesteaks
are huge and are famous for
being half a pound. The amount of
meat on the sandwich is plentiful and
for the price, they could compete with
an authentic “Philly
cheesesteak” as being
the best around.
The Clubhouse
Diner
Bensalem
The Clubhouse Diner on Street Road is
owned by the same people who own
the Pub. The Clubhouse is different
from the Pub in a lot of ways. The
food at the Clubhouse is phenomenal,
and they have very large portions.
They know how to give a customer
their money’s worth. Some of the tables
in the restaurant have machines
that allow people to play games. They
are touchscreen computers that have
card games like Blackjack and Solitaire,
but they also have games like bowling
and Puck Shot, which is similar to
Shuffleboard.
Casablanca
Warrington
Casablanca is one of the most interesting
restaurants in Bucks County. It is
located in Warrington on Easton Road.
This restaurant is dedicated to Moroccan
food, and you better come hungry
and with friends because their serving
sizes are massive. The food at
Casablanca is something that needs to
be experienced. One meal consists of
eight courses and it is served familystyle.
The eating experience is unique
because everyone in a party eats from
one, giant platter. Casablanca offers
different foods, like lamb and rabbit. It
is definitely a restaurant for people
who are not afraid of
broadening their horizons.
This restaurant makes one
feel like they are in “Aladdin.”
There are male
and female dancers
that travel around the
restaurant accepting
tips from customers.
The dancers only
come out once and
awhile, and they start
playing finger bells to
announce that they
are coming out; it is
definitely something
to experience as well.
King Long
Bensalem
King Long, located across from the Neshaminy
Mall is home to quality Chinese
food. They have a unique
atmosphere inside the restaurant. As
soon as you enter, there is a large Buddha
statue ready to greet you, with a
huge smile on his face. The employees
are always friendly as well. The
food is really good, and definitely
worth a try. For some reason it is
never busy there, which is nice if
someone is looking for a quiet meal.
A great Chinese restaurant is Place
One in Bensalem. It can be found on
Bristol Pike (Route 13). They offer
Thai food as well. The people who
work there are also very friendly. A
very interesting thing about Place One
is they have a vegetarian menu. The
food found on the vegetarian menu is
the same as on the regular menu,
there is sesame chicken on both
menus but one is made out of soy instead
of chicken. It is nice to know
Place One tries to cater to everyone.
