New American Restaurants near Pennsauken, NJ

“My fav spot, great for everyone. I always recommend. ♡“

“It was an unforgettable dinner. The moment I stepped inside, I felt as if I had been invited to a close friend’s or family member’s home for a warm, intimate meal. The space is small, cozy, and wonderfully personal. The two chefs prepared and served each course with perfect timing, offering fresh, beautifully crafted dishes one after another without a single moment of dullness.

It was a joy not only to taste the food but also to watch the careful, thoughtful preparation behind every plate. The flavors were excellent, the progression of courses felt seamless, and I left with that perfect feeling of satisfied fullness.

There is no doubt that this restaurant fully deserves its Michelin one-star rating. A truly memorable dining experience.

The only thing I found disappointing was that, although I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when making the reservation, nothing was acknowledged at all. The staff’s prepared guests’ birthday cakes, special party hats, cards and even a moment where the lights were turned off so everyone in the room could celebrate together. In contrast, our table didn’t receive even a simple mention of our anniversary.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“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.“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“Run, don't walk to Helm. . .Great service, food is delicious. Don't tell anyone. You might still get a seat.
Inovative chef. Wonderful combinations.
Great guys and gals making it all happen.
I was introduced to this fabulous place from a local friend. How lucky he is to have this in his neighborhood.

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“Absolutely love love love Kiddo - the menu changes based on what's in season, and the chef's thoughtfulness and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Many dishes are veggie-forward, creative and sensational, but my (fussy) husband swears the pork is the best he's ever had. Drinks are perfect, fresh bread heavenly. Can't recommend highly enough!“

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?“

“We've dined here numerous times but last night was off. Started with my Old Fashioned which was so watery. Very weak. My sea bass was very bland and the rice was undercooked. Not their usual at all. On a positive the Pecan Pie was very good as was the service.👍“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“This place is the future of dining out . Meets all dietary needs. Cocktails and mock cocktails. Kitchen gets a cut of sales. Went for the vegetarian friendly French Onion soup, ordered half the menu LOL chef also accommodated our two year old. Everything we had was absolutely delicious with the exception of the vegan Philly cheesesteak, that thing needs some love.“

“VERY,VERY BUSY PLACE. I was by myself because I was on a business trip first night which was Friday and could not get a seat at the bar. So I opted to come back the next evening and got a seat. The bartenders were very friendly and very knowledgeable of what they were serving. Joked around and had a good time and seemed like their jobs. I got a ribeye steak with mashed potatoes. Those cooked perfection even when I asked them to make sure the steak was dry. I can always tell what kind of meat facility serves when you don't put anything like steak, butter or spices on it. You should not have to do that. And I'm telling you that the steak was a very prime, a good grade of steak. Overall, that atmosphere was great. A little dark for my taste but that's what you get when you go to a place like this. If you're going to visit here, plan to make sure that you see that they're going to be on a wait no matter what. Can't wait to go back. In fact, I'll probably be the one in Florida in a few weeks“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“The place itself was beautiful the host to the waitress was very friendly and didn’t mind a conversation. Everything was delicious to the appetizers to the courses. The only thing that wasn’t great was the NY stripe aged steak. I asked for it to be cooked medium rare but this was the worst chewy steak I ever had. I saved majority of it to see if I could fix it at home but no luck. Just not the best quality steak and was hoping it was due to grill being in the name. They only charged $8 bucks for that little dollop of butter on top of the steak. The best thing we had was the scallops they are to die for! They melt in your mouth and the flavor was fantastic. I would come again just wouldn’t get their steak again.“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Food and service were stupendous. We prefer the bar over tables and our server / bartender, Michael, was super attentive, informed and a great conversationalist. In addition they gave my partner a card signed by everyone for her birthday. Besides the service, the food was exceptional! Everything was delicious especially the hashbrown and tuna!“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“Everything prepared with amazing attention to detail. LOVED the oysters with caviar and the house burger is a stand-out!“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“We had a very good lunch at Stir after viewing the Special exhibit at the museum. It is a much calmer space than the museum Cafe, and the table service was attentive. The menu was somewhat limited, but all 5 of us found something to order and enjoy. It was a lovely break from the bustle of the museum. I highly recommend for adults visiting the museum.“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“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!💖“

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“Bad Brother is one of the best neighborhood bars and restaurants in Philadelphia. I love to take friends and family there for not only their selection at the bar and a delicious and creative menu, but the service and atmosphere are just what you need to feel at home while also enjoying your time out. Get yourself some wings, a burger, and a sausage sandwich! Add a Caesar salad that you won’t regret, either.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“Everything we ordered was so good! Very friendly, nice server and the cook! Genuinely happy eating there. A restaurant where you can eat carefully selected dishes at a reasonable price!“

“I came a couple weeks ago and the food was amazing I got the Burger I don’t know what it was called exactly but it was amazing and perfectly cooked, also the Caesar salad was amazing too it had crisped parmesan chips in it and made it a lot better. The service was good too and very friendly.“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“As an occasional customer at Butcher Bar, I am always pleased!! However, their restaurant week menu is IMPECCABLE. I particularly enjoyed the Butcher Salad as well as the Braised short rib!!! Succulent, fell right off the bone! The vanilla panna cotta a great dessert to end the evening with! Unexpectedly economical.. plan coming on Friday again:-)“

“We just celebrated my birthday with friends there tonight and LOVED it!! Noah, our server, was absolutely fantastic! The food, delish!! The inside was gorgeous! We live an hour away and will come back!!! Highly recommend!!“

“Didn’t come for the food, just wanted some drinks. Very nice venue and the food looks great. Bartenders were very friendly! Cool little event room off to the side for parties. Coolers up front for beer takeaway. Lots of cool merch. Great experience!

I just got their names… Jacob and Valerie were great!!! Made sure I tried all their best beers and that I left happy!“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Awesome food and service! We will definitely be back.“

“This restaurant is a love letter to food. The service was amazing, the ambience was fantastic, and the food was some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in Philly. My gf and I stopped during a busy Friday service and got seating right away at the bar with full menu available. I hope every employee here is shown gratitude for the excellent restaurant they are running. We will be back many more times!“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“My husband and I went here for dinner tonight. We got the Stake and Crab special with garlic mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious. The stakes were done perfect and my husband really liked the crab cake too!“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“
