In the heart of Perkasie, a former hardware store has transformed into one of the town’s most beloved restaurants and breweries. The Ram in Perkasie, PA has become more than a place to grab a drink, it is a place where locals gather, friendships are formed, and community is celebrated over plates of delicious food and pints of freshly crafted beer.
Established in the historic town of Perkasie, The Ram blends the old with the new. The interior of the building makes you feel like you are at home, but it also has modern additions that add a good balance. The Rams’ indoor dining hours cater to lunch and dinner crowds, opening at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday and as early as 10:30 a.m. on Sundays to accommodate their new brunch offerings. The kitchen closes one hour before the restaurant does, ensuring guests have time to enjoy their meals before closing. Sundays now feature a popular brunch menu from 10:30 a.m., offering dishes quickly gaining traction with weekend dinners.
Outside is the Rams Rooftop Lounge, open to guests 21 and over, weather permitting, and offers a unique rooftop experience. Food is served until 9 p.m., and the space operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. The lively, casual atmosphere is ideal for late spring and summer evenings. Known for its bold flavors and generous portions, The Rams menu features customer favorites such as cheesesteak pierogies, burgers, and rotating seasonal specials. Though Miller Lite remains the top-selling drink, the restaurant’s selection of house-brewed craft beers sets it apart from pubs. Seasonal brews and small-batch experiments keep beer lovers returning to see what is new.
Employees speak highly of the work environment at the Ram, pointing to teamwork and leadership as key strengths. Donovan Cranage, a bar back at the restaurant, who started as a busser nearly two years ago, described the job as supportive and an encouraging experience. “It is a great work environment and an enjoyable place to be. “Everyone helps everyone,” he said. “My manager, Jess, is an amazing boss; she is personable and always does her best to accommodate everyone.” This supportive atmosphere translates to the front of the house as well. Friendly and attentive service is a common theme in online reviews, with many patrons praising the staff for making them feel at home. The Ram is more than just a restaurant– it is a social hotspot. Weekly Trivia nights, live music, and other events attract regular crowds looking for entertainment with their meal.
The restaurant also participates in town-wide events and local charity efforts, strengthening its ties to the community. “It is a place that brings people together,” said Cranage. “Good food and drinks– that is what people come for, but they also stay because they feel part of something.” One of the local competitors of the Ram is “The Perk”. Both of these locations offer similar menus and vibes. These restaurants are a three-minute drive away from each other, so they must be both on top of their game. Sophia Rosica, a worker at The Perk, describes the lovely work environment there. “I have been employed by The Perk since early November, so about six months. I have been treated great, all the staff I have worked with are kind, and I love that type of work environment.” Both of these restaurants are work friendly and put customers first; that’s why they are so competitive.
Whether you are there for weekend brunch, a cold beer on the rooftop, or a trivia night with friends, The Ram has something for everyone. With strong leadership, loyal employees, and a consistent presence in the community, it is no surprise that the Ram has earned a reputation as one of the best local spots. In a town where the new meets the old, and community is everything, The Ram serves not just food but connection, food, and love.
