Review Horn O Plenty - Bedford

Flavorful and interesting menu. My wife and I have gone back many times since our first visit and it just keeps getting better and better. We've tried everything we can on the menu and we have never been disappointed! They really got it dialed in! Our favorites are the soup- any soup they have is deeply flavorful. The more rocking pork bowl that is aptly named, the steak is top, and so is the lamb! My wife enjoys their salads and homemade dressings, and we can't get enough of their sourdough! The nacho mama's vegan cheese sauce is delicious on the seasoned potatoes and we love the juicy burgers and homemade buns- the beer cheese burger, the chili cheese burger and the bean burger are our favorites. And the desserts!!!! these kind of desserts you don't come across often.they are decadent without being overly sweet, I dig into the bread pudding or layer cakes and my wife really enjoys the cheese cake, even though it happens to be gluten free.. And when we are in the mood for pizza this is our go to spot!!! We always plan our next trip on the way home from dining. This place is relaxed and friendly. The staff all get paid a living wage- even the kitchen staff get tipped automatically through every sale, and we think this should be a practice in every restaurant! The food is wholesome and flavorful and it is worth every cent!

Great little farm to table spot! I wish I could have ordered off the breakfast menu but I did not see any items that were gluten free. My roasted bacon chicken salad was very good. I also purchased vanilla bean syrup for home. Everyone was very pleased and super happy.

This place is an excellent, out-of-the-way, COZY joint, built within a really neat, old stone building probably from the 1900s, or even 1800s! One should eat here just to see the old fireplace in the side room...it looks like where Daniel Boone would stomp in from the cold to get some communal stew! The food was truly excellent - small menu, but made from scratch, and very good. Decent portions, but no take home for me, so not huge. Price was steep for the area, but again, scratch made and very good quality. The service was also excellent. Hope to be back!

A hidden gem of a restaurant. Wonderful farm fresh ingredients mixed into grand entrees. They local source ingredients. Farm fresh Devon beef makes a juicy burger and the fresh coleslaw is a beautiful side dish. Highly recommend this eatery.

What they do well are their pizzas, mushroom soup, charcuterie board, spinach dip, and a mushroom grilled cheese that is sadly no longer on the menu. Their desserts are good too. But their dinner entrees have been a complete miss for us. And I say this as a regular patron of this establishment who has ordered almost every dinner entree they have toted out for the past two years. I have no problem throwing down good money on excellent food. But it’s got to be prepared correctly to reflect the dinner prices customers are paying. And as much as I want to give them kudos for experimenting with ingredients that are simply not found in any cuisine within a 40 mile radius of Bedford, (e.g. okonomiyaki sauce, moussaka, falafel, tzatziki, kimchi, etc.) I have to wonder how much actual first hand experience the chef has had eating/preparing these ethnic foods in their native lands and elsewhere. Because for those of us who are well traveled, it’s confusing how the flavor combinations are being used. Especially with the use of Asian ingredients, there has to be an appreciation of how they are traditionally used before attempting to make a “fusion” dish. I just don’t see that being reflected in the dinner entrees. Tonight, I ordered the $32 smoked beef brisket—basically the price of a surf and turf meal at Red Lobster for context. And to this native Texan, the brisket came out looking and tasting like a boiled chuck roast than an actual piece of brisket. It didn’t taste like it was cooked in its own fat. It was too water logged and devoid of any juiciness that aids in flavoring and texture. Fat is flavor. This brisket was not succulent. And the fire roasted chicken my husband ordered was bland. We mistakenly assumed it would be a spicier flavored dish because of the “fire roasted” description. That was our fault. But still, the dish and its sides didn’t live up to the $23 price. The whole bill came out to just over $81 for two entrees and a bowl of soup split between two people. Apart from the soup, I just didn’t see the value being reflected in the other two dishes. And although I am not a fan of Red Lobster, they at least include a side salad and unlimited cheddar bay biscuits with their entrees. They are a chain restaurant and can afford to throw things like that in to keep the masses from rioting. But all the more reason Horn O Plenty must make sure their entrees are made to perfection. I should add that our waitress was very attentive. We were glad we were in her hands tonight. But it seems to be a revolving door of wait staff every time we come in. So the quality of service has been sorely inconsistent over the past year too. For all of these constructive criticisms, Horn O Plenty, Lifestyle, and 10/09 Kitchen are the only restaurants in town actively trying to elevate the food scene and worth patronizing. We wish you our best.

Stopped here for lunch on our way from the laurel highlands back to Philadelphia. The restaurant is about a 5 min drive off the Pa turnpike and well worth the stop. Fresh, healthy, local food and friendly, fast service. They have a nice, quiet, shaded outdoor seating area, which is where we ate with our dog. We almost didn’t stop bc of the reviews commenting about being expensive and the additional service fee. Other reviews made it sound like a sneaky added fee that you wouldn’t be aware of until you pay. Not true, a notice is posted on the front door with the reason why they charge it (to support their staff, see photo in review) and it’s really not that much extra. We were glad we stopped and happy to support this local, eco minded business!

Ordered take out while in the area— was absolutely wonderful!! Salads were perfectly portioned and the dressing was flavorful and delicious. The five cheese pizza was INCREDIBLE, as in, some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Do wish the veggie pizza had been just as good— veggies looked to have been cooked separately and placed on top later, so they never really felt like a “part of the pizza,” more just haphazardly placed toppings. Still, everything else was perfect, and the staff and owner were jovial and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back and try something new!!

Colossal Burger is amazing!! American cheese platter was a great treat!!! This place was a great find! Laid back atmosphere and great food!. The staff is hustling to get you taken care of!!! Stop by and see for yourself

The food was fresh and tasted amazing. Our server was friendly and helpful. The wait from when we ordered to when the food came out was pretty long though. It is a bit pricey as well. Will be back but will make sure I have a lot of extra time. Still room for improvement.

Best pit stop for the healthy/organic minded traveller. With their farm being just down the road, you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The address is a bit off on urbanspoon though, but it's on the right street

Interesting food with unique delicious flavors. My wife and I were in from out of town and tried several appetizers as well as the wood fired pizza. We loved it! Best pizza ever.

Great local organic farm food. Will be back!

Creative Cuisine. This places rocks! We ate here twice on a trip to Bedford. They use quality local ingredients, and it shows! The meat pot pie was delicious, as was the African stew. They also had local trout cooked in the wood-fired oven, coated with Himalayan salt, and stuffed with delicious greens and onions.<br/>You can even get raw milk, as well as kombucha, and beet kvass. And the pizzas looked delicious, but we were too busy scarfing down other dishes to try them.<br/>Don't miss it if you're in the area.

We reserved a back room for a group of about 15. Chairs were uncomfortable, took about 80 minutes for everyone's food to come after ordering, and the food was bland. Limited menu, small choices, over priced. Do not recommend at all.

Open your mind and be amazed. We snagged an early table at dinner near the fire which was good because it was chilly in there.<br/>These people are pretty militant about sustainability so if you're a fan of chain restaurants and eating what you've always eaten, don't go. If, however, you like to supply your own wine (no corkage fee), and you like to see your food being prepared from scratch (including the pasta for your lasagna), you're in the right place.<br/>We live in Pittsburgh and were in Bedford for a few days. I found this place online and decided to give it a try. At this point, I would be willing to return to Bedford just for a meal here.<br/>My husband ordered the grass-fed steak burger with onion marmalade and pronounced it one of the best burgers he's ever eaten. I had the lamb shepard's pie. The salad that came with it was large and perfectly dressed. The pie was the most amazing taste sensation ever (and I don't say this lightly). It was clearly hand made and somehow sweet and savory at once. We shared a baked apple with kefir yogurt and maple syrup for dessert.<br/>I can't wait to get back to this place.

Truly wonderful experience. My wife and I went for dinner tonight and loved every bite. We shared 3 starters: the cauliflower soup (yum - i could eat this every day), the apple beet micro greens salad (so, so tasty), and the amazing baked potato (seriously, with the cheese on top, out of this world). We then each had a main. Me: the grass-fed beef burger on a grilled portobello mushroom top. She: the 'why isn't this thing world-famous' chicken pot pie. And for desert: gluten-free pumpkin pie. We brought our own wine with us (byob with no uncorking fee) and sat by the cozy wood-burning fire. We absolutely loved this place. The prices are great. The atmosphere is relaxed. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. We can't wait to go back for brunch this Sunday. The only drawback: we live in New York City and can't really justify the 5 hour commute every week...<br/><br/>You should definitely go. Don't miss this rustic farm-to-table experience!

OK, BUT. When we first entered it felt like we entered a meat locker. Way too cold. The seating are old school seats which aren't very comfortable. The menu is an electronic pad. I really didn't like having to share the menu. I ordered the cucumbers stuffed with slaw for an appetizer. Not enough taste and it was a very small portion. My wife had a glass of ginger tea. She loved it and I thought it was tasty. Worth trying. I had the pastrami sandwich. It was tasty but difficult to eat as the crust was very hard. I did not enjoy biting into a hard crusted sandwich. It had butternut cheese on it . After a couple of bites i opened the sandwich because I could not taste the cheese. There was one slice and it was paper thin. I was disappointed considering the sandwich was nearly $10.00. The onion marmalade was good. My wife had the beef sandwich which also had green peppers and cheese. It was good but very pricey. Basically an organic steak and cheese sandwich for around $11.00. The total cost for a light lunch was way too much. They state everything is local grown. What's happens during the winter? I talked to others who ate there and the general consensus is it's overpriced for the small portions given. I will go again in about a month and see if anything has changed. Right now I would not recommend Horn O Plenty.

Fresh and Delicious. This is a new restaurant which just opened May 1st according to our very knowledgable server! She also gave a little history of the building, and could tell us the whos, whats, and whys of the menu, with a smile and sense of humor. Definitely a people person!<br/><br/>The prices were great for a farm-to-table type establishment! The highest priced item was the rib-eye steak for $19. Our party of 8 had a great experience and truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It got a little loud when the dining room filled up, but we all had fun and loved our food! They need to get their name out to the nearby resorts because my table and another 8-10 top were all coming from a conference at Bedford Springs, and this was exactly what we were looking for!<br/><br/>They should lose the "Freshtaurant" thing though, it's really hokey. Farm-to-table Restaurant is plenty descriptive.
