This weekend it was nice enough for fro-yo — a treat that I pretend is “healthier” than ice cream. Once the weather warms, I’m always craving it. How can you resist this sweet treat when there are tons of flavors and toppings to choose from?
This week, whether you are looking for something sweet like fro-yo (see here for some Bucks County ice cream/frozen yogurt spots) or salty like burgers and fries, there’s something for all cravings.
Half price burgers. The historic Pineville Tavern is starting a half price burger deal starting this Monday, April 18, and returning every Monday from 11 am to 10 pm. The Pineville Tavern’s burgers use fresh, never frozen Black Angus beef. The burgers come with steak cut fries and homemade coleslaw. Prices range from $10 to $14.
Diners can choose from seven different burgers including The King: shredded lettuce, shaved red onion, and Norfolk sauce; Mr. Piggy: aged cheddar, roasted poblano peppers, sriracha mayo and bacon jam; and Lil’ Swiss Bunshine with swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, house steak sauce, frizzled onions and roasted garlic aioli.
Free dinner. Nothing beats a warm casserole. This Monday, April 18, enjoy a free dinner at the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run in Perkasie. The church is opening its doors to the community for a free dinner of chicken casserole, with homemade treats for dessert. The meal is served in Hoopes Hall from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. Visit their website for questions or more information.
Can’t make it to this free dinner? The Christ Community Bible Church in Perkasie, PA is also opening its doors for a free community dinner. It’s served from 5:30 – 6:30 pm on Wednesday, April 20. Call 215.257.7318 for more information.
Four-hour happy hour. Sometimes getting to happy hour between that 4 to 7 pm slot can be tough. No need to rush this week on Wednesday, April 20, because McCoole’s at the Historic Red Lion Inn in Quakertown is having a happy hour food menu from 5 – 9 pm. That gives you plenty of time to get to the inn and enjoy some humanely raised, antibiotic and growth hormone free foods, brought to you by local farms. The inn also offers weekly and seasonal specials and a fully stocked bar, with microbrews from their own Red Lion Brewery. Visit their website for more information, and to check out their latest menu.
A Belgian beer dinner. Chimay brews are very popular due to their sweet, fruity aroma, and slightly bitter taste. The Spinnerstown Hotel will highlight four Chimay beers at a 4-course beer dinner on Wednesday, April 20, starting at 7 pm. Buy your tickets here. The dinner costs $65 per person, along with an additional online fee. Designated driver tickets are available as well. Here’s a taste of the menu:

Dine and donate. Head out to Mojito Cuba Caribe this Thursday, April 21 for a “Dine and Donate” fundraiser to benefit NOVA’s 4th Annual No Bullying Run. Mojito Cuba Caribe will donate 15% of your food check (excludes tax and tip) to this fund. Grab some friends and enjoy a night out while benefiting a local organization.
Whiskey straight. You’ve probably heard of how Dad’s Hat Distillery is right in our backyard. If you still haven’t had the chance to try this whiskey, you can this week at a tasting dinner at the Logan Inn this Thursday, April 21 at 7 pm.
