Tag Galyean, award-winning architect and designer, with more than 30 years of interior design expertise in the hotel and restaurant industry, led the team that redesigned the interior space. The décor now features elements from barn siding to natural stone tile in colors inspired by old Bucks County stone walls with earthy tones of tans, muted reds, and browns highlighted by the gray and silver tones of the buttonwood tree at the entrance. Historic black and white photos of the region from the archives of local historical societies, libraries and photographers will decorate the walls throughout the restaurant.

With a large bar that can sit over 20 people comfortably, high-tops for some beer, casual drinks and burgers, five flat screen TVs to watch games, great food, children’s menus, and an outdoor deck, the Buttonwood Grill is a welcoming and laid back place for locals and the after work crowd to hang out on Friday night or bring the family to during the week.

About Buttonwood Grill: The corner on which the Buttonwood Grill now stands was once part of the original William Penn land grant.  In 1700, Penn sold 500 acres of what was to become the village of Lahaska to James Streater.  Over the next century this fertile swath was divided many times for family farms, homes, businesses, and a Friends meeting house for the growing Quaker community.   A local shopkeeper, Cyrus Betts, built the first structure on the lot in 1826, a one-story general store.  He sold the lot and store for $600 to Joseph Shaw. The spot was a prime stop for stage coaches along the Old York Road so Shaw built a two story stone tavern to serve the many weary travelers on the busy highway between Philadelphia and New York. Fast forward 120 years and numerous owners later; proprietors Matthew and Mary Hartigan decide to finally name the historic hotel and tavern. They called it the Buttonwood Inn after the graceful Buttonwood tree that greeted guests at the front door for nearly a century. In 1986, the Jamison family purchased the Buttonwood Inn with the promise to carry on the tradition of warm and friendly Bucks County hospitality. Earl Jamison operated the Buttonwood Inn for a few years before renovating the space to open The Golden Plough Inn and The Spotted Hog in 1989. After almost 20 years of operation, The Spotted Hog closed and was reopened as Sweet Lorraine’s Cafe and Bar in 2008 which closed at the end of 2011. The restaurant has now come full circle with the reopening of the Buttonwood Grill in March 2012.
