Stouch Tavern is a colonial-themed, Pennsylvania Dutch-style buffet. The restaurant is located in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania, roughly halfway between Reading and Lebanon.
Established in 1785 and located within the Womelsdorf Historic District, it is the oldest operating tavern in Berks County. As of 2024, Stouch Tavern is open to the public for Pennsylvania Dutch-style meals served in buffet format on a weekly basis. The location is also available for reservations for private events, and offers holiday-specific courses during the fall and winter months.
It is locally famous for being a stop for George Washington, while serving as the United States of America's first president. During his second term, on November 13, 1793, Washington traveled to Womelsdorf to inspect the progress being made on construction of the Union Canal. During his visit, he stayed at Stouch Tavern. The location is one of several colonial-era and early American points of interest in western Berks County, including the Conrad Weiser Homestead, located less than a mile away on the eastern edge of Womelsdorf Borough.
