Bowers Hotel Incorporated — Restaurant in Maxatawny Township

I have driven by here a several times during the day and had no idea there was a restaurant and bar here. A friend just told me about the Bowers Hotel when I mentioned I was coming up to Topton later in the day. We did stop for dinner on our way and what a wonderful surprise. The food was perfect, large portions, and so affordable. THANK YOU!!! We will definitely be back. The wait time for the dining room wasn't too bad maybe 15-20 minutes. Bar was full. Waitress was nice and knowledgeable. All the staff hustles. It's like eating back in rural Iowa where everyone knows your name. Lots of locals eat here. Just the way we like it. We drive 45 minutes to get here but it would be worth it. The salmon on a salad was really good. I requested greens with no iceberg. My husband's chicken dinner was really good too. The rolls with real butter were worth every calorie. And I couldn't resist the peach cobbler with ice cream. It was huge. Enough for 2-3 people or just for my meal. It was delicious. Feb 2025 - Page was a great server and very attentive even though it got busy. We arrived around 5 pm on Friday night and they took us in without reservations. When we l left around 6 there was a line to get in. The bacon cheeseburger was really good, the housemade chips were seasoned and tasted good too but I should have brought them home and heated them in the air fryer to taste them hot. The shepherds pie was huge and really good, the cup of lobster bisque was bigger than I expected to see and really good too. The food carrier and probably owner was very kind to ask about my allergies as I ordered the burger without the bun. Another great experience. Only down side was no peach cobbler. Wrong time of year. I'll be back when...

I am one of 3 ladies who hosted a baby shower at The Bowers Hotel yesterday. This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for the perfect location for your own shower or party and asking yourself if this would be a good fit the answer is, hands down, Y-E-S.

We searched the Macungie, Emmaus, Kutztown, & even Pottstown areas high & low for a good venue but had no peace until we found The Bowers Hotel. Bonnie, the manager, makes everything easy and acceptable. She's happy to help and doesn't make you feel like your questions and requests are a burden - that's not the case with all managers; her great attitude was a breath of fresh air.

The event server was also above and beyond in her professionalism and helpfulness. She had a great attitude that helped put everyone at ease.

The hotel's event room is quaint and charming. It was THE PERFECT place for our baby shower. Everyone had a relaxed, peaceful time in an elegant setting. The ambiance of the room is very satisfying and with the Fall accents we splashed around (orange and yellow leaves, a few strings of LED lights etc.) plus lit candles, it created an ideal atmosphere - the one you only dream of but don't think exists.

All of this to say, The Bowers Hotel is unbeatable. Everyone had a first class...

I was at the restaurant last night July 7th for the dinner rush at 6:30. The restaurant was very busy. However, the fact we had to wait an hour between when the salad were served and the actual dinners being served is pretty much an epic fail. I honestly don’t care that we had to wait for our dinners…but I do think the lack of communication from our waitress on why our food was delayed is just unacceptable. She did not come to our table at any point after our salad plates were picked up hand when our dinners were served. One of the other waitresses who was not even assigned to our table came and refilled our drinks which was very nice. Not sure what happened to our waitress during this time. Then when our food was served , I asked our waitress for ketchup and she never came back to table with the ketchup. This is the first unpleasant experience I have had there and I hope it will not be an issue with service and a better...
