50 Best American Restaurants near Brooklawn

“Gaetano’s is my go to lunch spot during the week. You cannot beat the lunch specials they offer. The owner Al is a pillar of the community, who makes sure to give back when he can. They have one of the best staff’s when it comes to service. If you want a decently priced cheesesteak and do not want to cross the bridge, Gaetano’s is where it is at. They load the sandwich up with quality ribeye. We have used catering from them several times for family parties, and everyone asks who we got the food from . The penne vodka has a nice bite, down to the spinach rabe for the roast pork and roast beef. I wish I could give more than 5 stars to rate Gaetano’s!“

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“If I could give 100,00 stars, I would. Service was incredibly friendly, down to us saying how much we loved the sauce and our server brought up a little side of sauce and another piece of bread just so we could savor the flavors a little longer. Each dish truly got better and better. This BYOB spot is a complete standout and you need to RUN HERE. Shoutout to our servers, Maggie and Mary, and Chef Ben for a memorable, absolutely delicious experience.“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

“I have been a Mac Mart customer since they originally opened on 18th street. Their Barclay Basil Pesto Chicken dish is my kryptonite!
Just wanted to let everyone know who comes across their listing on Google Maps that the pin location is still incorrect. They are now located at a kiosk near 18th and Arch (the address in the listing is correct, just the pin is wrong).
Don't want to miss this place!“

“It's hard not to enjoy the ambiance at La Croix overlooking Rittenhouse Square while in the background, there is live violin music. The Sunday brunch was enjoyable. We started with the devilled eggs, which had a unique, enjoyable undertone of saffron. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees, although I thought the hash brown in my Lobster hash brown was oily and flavorless. I think they missed the mark on dessert with the only true dessert option being a "make your own sundae". As it's a brand new brunch menu, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out. We would return!“

“Everything I’ve tasted was bursting with flavour, from the protein to the sides, everything cooked nicely. Dining area was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. The only downside is the serving portion, I understand meat is expensive and you can’t add too much, but sides such as rice and veggies should not be skimmed on.“
