Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn…The Jewel of Hulmeville

By: Krista Doran

Just off of Bellevue Ave and Trenton Road, and along the Neshaminy Creek in the quaint little town of Hulmeville, PA is a wonderful place to relax and unwind called Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn.  The building is tucked away among the tall shady trees along the creek.  It’s a great place to spend outside enjoying the views of the falls while having dinner or sipping on a cold beer this summer.  The Tiki Bar at The Colonial is the perfect spot to meet up with friends or maybe even a first date.  Whatever the occasion may be, you will certainly enjoy yourself.

Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn offers something for everyone.  Their food is delicious and the atmosphere is fun and inviting.  It’s one of those rare finds, just off the beaten path you always hear people talking about.  All of the food is served hot & fresh and everything is homemade.  I spoke to owner Dean Casmirri and he told me “The food here is always big hit with everyone.”  I can see why.  I have been there many times and it’s always delicious.  They serve everything from soup and apps to full course dinners including meat, poultry, pasta and seafood items.  “The Clams Casino is a crowd favorite and our mushrooms stuffed with Crab Imperial are fantastic.”  Dean explained.  Some of the other delicious appetizers are the Shrimp and Scallops Wrapped in Bacon, the Creamy Crab Dip, served with a Brandy cream sauce, garlic toast and tortilla chips, and the Hawaiian Coconut Shrimp served with a tropical dipping sauce.  As far as the entrees go, they have a great selection of favorites including Fresh Slow Roasted Turkey, served with stuffing, mashed potatoes and veggies, Fresh Veal Cutlet Parmigiana and the 8oz Grilled Filet Mignon.  The prices are awesome too.  All entrees include Soup or Salad and are priced between $12.99 and $15.99!  Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn offers great weekly specials, too.  Come in Sunday through Wednesday for dinner, and for just $9.99 you can have your entrée, plus soup or salad, 2 veggies or pasta AND dessert.  We are talking nice dinners too, like Homemade Lasagna, Lemon Chicken & Tilapia Florentine, just to name a few.  If a Sammy or Burger is more your speed, there is plenty to choose from and all are priced between $6 and $10.  Nightly food and drink specials are plentiful, including Mondays, $2.00 Coors Light Pints; Tuesdays, $3.00 Creek Fries 9 to 11 pm; Wednesday it’s Dollar Dog Night!  On Thursday 10 pm till Midnight get your fill of $1.00 Domestic Pints, $2.00 Domestic Bottles and $3.00 Shots.  During the weekend it’s time to unwind and you can do it right at The Colonial!  Friday they offer
