Morrisville has a new gem, and it’s exactly the kind of exciting spot the borough needed! Yardley Distillery Tex-Mex Grill brings together the culinary passion and award-winning craft spirits of the Yardley Restaurant Group, led by the husband-and-wife team Nicole and Frederick Rabena.

A Family Affair with a Touch of Nostalgia
Yardley Distillery Tex-Mex Grill isn’t just another restaurant venture. For Nicole, it’s a return to her roots. The restaurant occupies the former Friendly’s on West Trenton Avenue, where she once worked. This nostalgic connection is reflected in the “Fribbletini” cocktail, a playful tribute to Friendly’s Fribble milkshake, featuring Yardley Distillery vodka and delightful flavors like strawberry crème, banana liquor, and toasted marshmallow.
A Menu that Celebrates Texas, Mexico, and Yardley Spirits
The Rabenas haven’t skimped on the menu. They’ve meticulously curated a selection that pays homage to authentic Tex-Mex cuisine while showcasing the unique character of their Yardley Distillery spirits. This means you can expect bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and creative pairings that go beyond the ordinary.
A Brunch Experience to Remember
The restaurant recently introduced a brunch menu, and it’s definitely worth a try. Imagine indulging in creative brunch dishes alongside Yardley Distillery’s famed canned cocktails – a perfect weekend treat! The inviting atmosphere adds to the experience. You’ll be greeted by a vibrant space featuring a welcoming bar bathed in purple light, colorful artwork, and warm wooden tables made from reclaimed wood (sourced from a fallen tree in Princeton!).
Brunch Delights and Beyond
The menu offers something for everyone. Start your day with a classic Bloody Mary or the tempting Bloody Mary Meal, a feast featuring a cheese quesadilla, chicken wing, olives, and an assortment of savory accompaniments. For the main course, there are breakfast burritos packed with scrambled eggs, cheese, and potatoes, or Huevos Rancheros with a choice of grilled chicken or a vegetarian option. Don’t miss the Queso Burger, a crowd-pleaser loaded with queso sauce and tangy pickled jalapeños.
