This three story brick building was built in 1830 by John Steinman and
his family along the old Gravel Pike from Allentown to Philadelphia. A century later, Elmer Trollinger
purchased the building and surrounding acreage and successfully applied for a beer license.
Cab Frye and his wife, Betty, purchased the property in 1953 and began transforming the "local tap room"
atmosphere into an establishment renowned for its fine food and cocktails.
In 1969 Robert Eugster acquired the restaurant property. He operated the
small business with the purpose of providing American favorites and Swiss Specialties to people who choose
to dine in a relaxed atmosphere.
In 1993 Edward J. Galgon Jr. purchased the restaurant and property. Today
the restaurant continues to give its guest a warm welcome and extend its hospitality to the most
discriminating gourmet.
Edward graduated from culinary school in 1976. Through the years he has gained experience in French and
Belgium kitchens in Newport, RI, as well as numerous years as executive chef in a Mobil 4-star restaurant.
He has been a member of the Chaîne de Rôtisseurs since 1987.
Edward hopes your evening will be pleasurable for you as it is for all of us who serve you. Enjoy.
