Hoagies, Wraps and Beer, Oh My!

Horsham Township Council approves a beer-only liquor license for Lee's Hoagie House.

The owner of Lee’s Hoagie House is hoping beer drinkers will find a home at the Route 611 eatery. Jon Waxman, who has owned the sandwich shop for three and a half years, got unanimous approval Wednesday night from Horsham Township Council to transfer a beer-only liquor license from a Lansdale establishment to his business. Waxman is hoping the license, which he bought for $125,000, will be a shot in the arm for the sandwich shop. “Economically, it’s definitely been a struggle,” Waxman said, noting that military from the all-but-shuttered Willow Grove air base had made up a large portion of his regular customers. “Twenty-five percent of our business used to be from them.” Waxman began working at the Abington Lee’s Hoagie House in 1982 and …

Otto's Serves Up Comfort Foods With German Flair

Just in time for summer, the Horsham eatery features outdoor tables under a covered patio.

As far back as I can remember Otto’s Brauhaus has been there, a mile north of the turnpike, on busy Easton Road, even before the Days Inn was erected next door. Indeed, it was founded in 1934, more than 75 years ago! Though it changed ownership only a few years ago, the new owners were smart enough to make this change invisible. The menu, the chefs, the longtime hostess, the serving staff, and the restaurant’s interior are largely intact, thereby holding on to Otto’s large, longtime following. Otto's offers four dining areas to choose from: a light airy room with big bay windows, a darker central dining room, a cozy atmospheric bar decorated with hanging moose heads and shelves of beer steins, and an unusually large canopy-covered and tree…
