The King of Prussia Tavern, aka the KOP Tavern, is back, to be welcomed at a Sept. 13 ribbon cutting at 128 Town Center Road, near the intersection of W. Dekalb Pike and N. Henderson Road. Debbra Torrez’ report on it was on the menu of stories in a recent edition of The Philadelphia Caller.

The original KOP Tavern, which began life as a 1719 cottage, was trucked an estimated 2,400 feet to nearby Bill Smith Blvd. in 2000, during the Route 202 renovation. It was repurposed as the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce office.

The new-old King of Prussia Tavern takes the former spot of Michael’s Delicatessen site, about a mile north of its former site.

New executive chef Daniel Waller, learned how to cook in his grandmother’s Norristown kitchen as a kid.

Now, as a father of four of his own, Waller wanted to oversee a scratch-made menu at a family friendly  restaurant with a tavern-like vibe.

“I’m excited to finally have the opportunity to design my own menu and run my first kitchen,” he said. “It has been a dream of mine to become an executive chef and develop a menu inspired by my childhood, my family, and my personal tastes.
