This Levittown pub pours authentic German lagers by the liter and serves massive portions of sauerbraten and schnitzel. The German pretzel arrives on an entire lunch tray with house-made beer cheese.
The sauerbraten stands as the restaurant's most praised entrée, with one diner declaring it the best they'd ever tasted due to its tender preparation. The schnitzel arrives golden brown and crispy, plated with traditional spätzle, red cabbage, and lemon wedges according to photo evidence. The "Best of the Wurst" platter delivers multiple German sausages that multiple reviewers consumed in quantity, served with the restaurant's custom house-made mustard available for purchase. The German pretzel qualifies as a meal itself—one reviewer expressed shock that it occupied an entire lunch tray, served with beer cheese that earned the description "incredible." The kitchen also offers filet mignon, though one reviewer found it disappointing while another rated it "very good," suggesting consistency issues with non-German items. December brings beef Wellington that one guest called "worth the drive/wait" and a "mark your calendar kinda never miss meal." The snapper soup draws comparisons to Philadelphia's historic Old Bookbinder's restaurant.

Seven of 20 reviewers specifically mentioned the German beer selection, which includes Hofbrau Original Lager, Hofbrau Dunkel, Hofbrau Maibock, Weihenstephan Original Weiss, Paulaner Lager, Augustiner Helles Lager, and DAB Lager. The restaurant serves beer in traditional liter sizes, with one couple noting the liter pours were "just what we wanted for our German feast." A dozen Oktoberfest drafts rotate on tap according to one guest, and the establishment offers growlers for takeout. The restaurant now offers its full German beer selection to-go, with the website listing current availability. One reviewer praised the beer selection as featuring "libations not found elsewhere" in the area. The beverage program complements the German menu authentically, with multiple guests noting the "genuine" flavors when pairing imported lagers with traditional dishes.
The restaurant operates Tuesday through Saturday starting at 3 p.m., with kitchen hours until 9 p.m. or later and bar service until last call. Multiple reviewers mentioned servers by name, with Lin working Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday shifts and earning descriptions as "incredible, informative, and lots of fun." Kristen received praise for being "fantastic" and conversational, while Alice was called "top-notch" by a family celebrating a birthday. The venue accommodates large parties effectively—one group of 17 reported an "extremely accommodating" and "memorable" dinner. The indoor space features wooden tables against brick walls based on photo analysis, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. One reviewer noted music playing in the dining area. The restaurant charges processing fees for credit and debit card payments but accepts cash and gift cards without fees. The venue itself receives descriptions as "dated" from one guest, though service and food quality consistently override decor concerns in reviews.
Families and groups comprise the primary audience, with multiple reviewers bringing in-laws and celebrating birthdays. One family drove 40 minutes specifically for the German menu and atmosphere. The moderate $15-30 per person price point and large portions make it practical for feeding groups—one reviewer over-ordered because they didn't expect the massive portion sizes. The venue works for date nights according to one couple, though the family-friendly atmosphere dominates most reviews. Groups seeking authentic German cuisine with imported beer selections will find the most value, particularly those interested in traditional preparations like sauerbraten and schnitzel rather than contemporary interpretations. The late operating hours (until last call) and outdoor seating accommodate happy hour gatherings. Those driving from other parts of Bucks County should note the Tuesday-Saturday schedule with Sunday and Monday closures. Diners seeking polished, modern decor may find the dated interior a drawback, but those prioritizing food quality and portion size over ambiance will appreciate the tavern setting.

Newportville Inn is known for authentic German cuisine with particularly acclaimed sauerbraten that one reviewer called the best they'd ever had. The restaurant specializes in traditional German preparations including schnitzel served with spätzle and red cabbage, and the "Best of the Wurst" platter featuring multiple German sausage varieties. The venue also distinguishes itself with a curated selection of rare German imported beers like Hofbrau Maibock, Augustiner Helles, and Weihenstephan Original Weiss available both on-tap and for takeaway. Portion sizes significantly exceed typical restaurant servings, with the German pretzel alone requiring an entire lunch tray.
The sauerbraten receives the highest praise, with one reviewer declaring it incredibly tender and the best they'd ever tasted. The schnitzel consistently earns positive mentions across multiple reviews, with one guest specifically recommending the restaurant for anyone seeking quality schnitzel. The "Best of the Wurst" platter appears as a table favorite in both menu listings and testimonials, with one group reporting that lots of sausage was consumed at their meal. The German pretzel with beer cheese sauce receives consistent acclaim for its impressive size and fresh-baked quality. The snapper soup earns comparison to legendary Philadelphia restaurant Old Bookbinder's from one reviewer.

Multiple reviewers specifically mention Newportville Inn as suitable for date night, with one guest explicitly stating it's "great for date night." The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, creating atmosphere flexibility for couples. The exposed brick walls and traditional German presentation create a tavern-style ambiance distinct from typical chain restaurants in the Levittown area. The moderate price range of $15-30 per person makes it accessible for casual romantic dining without excessive cost. Service staff receive praise for being personable and attentive, with multiple servers mentioned by name for creating positive dining experiences.
Newportville Inn operates Tuesday through Saturday only, remaining closed on Sunday and Monday. The restaurant doesn't provide specific reasoning for this schedule on their website, though the Tuesday-Saturday, 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM schedule suggests a focus on evening dining service rather than lunch operations. This schedule is consistent across all their published hours information, so guests planning visits should note the restaurant is unavailable at the beginning of each week. The kitchen operates from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM or later on open days, with the bar remaining available until last call.
Multiple reviewers express surprise at Newportville Inn's portion sizes, which consistently exceed typical restaurant servings. One guest reported over-ordering immediately upon sitting down because they didn't expect the portion sizes to be what they were. The German pretzel alone requires an entire lunch tray for presentation, significantly larger than standard pretzel appetizers at other restaurants. Photos show schnitzel plates arriving with substantial servings of spätzle and red cabbage as accompaniments. The "Best of the Wurst" platter features multiple sausage varieties in quantities that prompted one group to report that "lots of sausage was consumed." These generous portions contribute to the restaurant's value perception, with the $15-30 per person price range covering substantial meals.
