Item Description

The Seven Stars Inn is the original Chester County steakhouse, featuring overly generous portions of the finest beef, veal and seafood served in a gracious white table cloth atmosphere.

Family friendly, the Seven Stars has not only a great Children’s Menu but also a Young Adult’s Menu. Both of these menus scale down the size of the serving and price of their offerings to help mom and dad afford an evening out with the whole family.

Dinner only is served at the Seven Stars and the inn is closed on Mondays. Credit cards are accepted and reservations are suggested.

Item Special Note

In about 1720, Samuel Nutt, an Iron Master, opened the first thoroughfare in this section of Chester County at his own expense. This great road, called Ridge or Nutt’s Road, extended by Gerhard Brumbach’s homestead. With the growing iron industry and the continued procession of new settlers on Ridge Road, Gerhard found he was frequently sheltering weary travelers. On May 25, 1736, he petitioned to His Majesty’s Justices for the privilege of conducting a Publick House:

“On the ground that he was frequently oppressed by travelers whom he was obliged to entertain, and that there were no publick houses within twenty miles below, nor thirty miles above his place on the Great Road which leads from Philadelphia to the Iron Works, and from thence to Conestoga.”
