New American Restaurants near Bridgeport, PA

“We choose Taphouse 23 to meet at and couldn't hear one another talk at 7 pm on a Saturday. There was a 2 piece band and had the guitarist not used a speaker maybe we could have enjoyed our dinner together. Even our waiter couldn't hear any of our orders. Our food was good. But we didn't linger so we could go to another bar to catch up with one another.“

“As always, the food was excellent. Our waitress was on point. Seeing the antiquity was awesome and it was well maintained.Everyone there, including the customers, were very nice and pleasant. This is why I proposed to wife some years ago, we had our wedding reception there and we make it a habit to go back whenever we can.Parking: Well lit parkig lot on the premises.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to main entrance.“

“Once again, another wonderful meal! I ordered the Brussels sprout salad which I had not tried before. Glad I did! Lovely mix of crunchy sprouts, cranberries, walnuts, apple& Gorgonzola with dressing that complimented all of the flavors. Also had the salmon appetizer which is reliably excellent. Main courses of doradd & short rib delicious. I loved the chocolate cake & the “taste” of crème brûlée & ice cream are a great way to try several desserts. Veronica was lovely & helpful. Can't say enough nice things about Blackfish.“

“Valley Green is a great place for a special dinner — or just a night out somewhere different. The atmosphere is lovely. If the weather's nice enough, sit outside on the porch. Did and service are very good, and there is something for almost every price range. To top it all off, they make it clear which dishes are (or can be made) for those who are gluten-sensitive. All around, a great place for dinner!“

“We had reserved a table for 16 for a 21st birthday dinner. They put us in a semi private room, although we were the only party. The service was great, food was hot and good. We went because of the gluten free menu and reviews and it didn't disappoint! Shout out to Brittany! Already booking another event for graduation.Dietary restrictions: Great selection of good gluten free food.“

“The food and service were great as always, but this was the first time we were in the back room. The noise level there was a little bit too much for us . We will be back as this is one of the most consistently good places on the mainline for us. We'll just request not to be in that back room.“

“I recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“

“Had dinner at Bar Sera for the first time in 2023-06-16 for a 7pm reservation. We got seated right away, not waiting at all. All our drinks and food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. We had the best server named Rachel. She had many tables but still was amazing, very attentive and would engage in conversation with us as. She made the dining experience so much better than any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The food overall was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you can, ask for Rachel, she won’t disappoint.“

“Food was tasty and a good value. Staff were very nice. Looks can be deceiving when looking at the restaurant from the outside. It looks like the building used to be an old American dinner that’s a little beat up but once you enter you will be greeted by a clean restaurant with clothed tables and chairs. However you can still see some of the old diner inside so it conflicts with the Korean accents. Obviously not a deal breaker but I hope they invest for a modern remodel.“

“My husband and I were visiting the area and found the Gypsy Saloon through Yelp. Thank you to all the reviewers who suggested this great find. I was a little concerned, based on a few reviews that mentioned they were rushed, but we had no issues at all. We were seated immediately (it was cold and rainy at about 6pm so I am guessing that was in our favor) and felt welcomed throughout the entire visit. Husband had the gnocchi, which he polished off and I had the halibut special which was just fantastic. It was so nice to find a place with great food and atmosphere and away from all the mall chain options. Looking forward to going back to the Gypsy Saloon when we return to the area. Highly recommend.“

“Looking for a place to grab a cold beer, burger, and/or sushi? We'll look no further the food and service at Guppy's are top notch w/ very reasonable prices. They even have their own sushi chef and specials weekly. Lori and get squad are the best!“

“A beautiful restaurant with many menu choices. We reserved a table for 10 for our luncheon and were given a private glass enclosed room. I and several others ordered the avocado BLT which came with a small side salad. It was made fresh and was absolutely delicious. Others had the crab cake which was a generous portion and delicious as well. The deserts are presented in a small glass. We ordered peanut butter cake and key lime cake. It was just enough to top off our meal. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful luncheon.“The ladies of Freedom Court”Parking: A stand alone restaurant with plenty of parking. Near 309 Cinema and Aldi’s store. Easy access to Rt 309 and Welsh Rd.“

“Came here for a Valentine’s Day tasting menu and was blown away. My partner picked the restaurant and I went in blind, knowing nothing. Incredible experience. The food was outstanding and made right in front of us. Max is a wonderful chef who worked magic to provide an incredible tasting menu by himself. Will be going back, and bringing friends.A very clear example of “you get what you pay for”.“

“This is a fantastic brunch spot. Although they don't take reservations, we only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be arranged and cleaned. I ordered the crab Benedict, which featured perfectly poached eggs. The bread, thicker than a traditional English muffin, complemented the dish well. It was served with standard potatoes. The highlight was the Butter Pecan pancake with caramelized banana—possibly the best pancake I've ever had, though crispy edges would have made it even better. I also ordered orange juice, which was good but less impressive due to the pulp. Overall, I highly recommend this place for brunch and am looking forward to returning.“

“Apparently a tavern that was in existence at the time of Valley Forge. Very nice dining room and bar area. I had Lafayettes Onion soup which was good. Also had the chicken pot pie. The crust and ingredients had good flavor but the broth in the pie was relentlessly bland. I kept adding salt and pepper but it never helped. It was so bland that biting into a chunk of potato gave a pop of flavor. My wife had the tomato basil soup and she thought it might be the best such soup she has had. The club sandwich was typical. It was a good experience and I'd recommend it, but not the pot pie.“

“Stopped here for dinner tonight and enjoyed it! The hot roast beef was very tasty, and so was the rice pudding! My husband and I split an order of chili cheese fries, which were okay. The atmosphere was a little lacking- the place felt old and a little run-down, and everything was served on small plastic plates, which was a little cheesy. That being said, id still go back if I was really craving a roast beef sandwich!“

“This is a place we frequent for comfort food. We recently went there for a late breakfast. We had Breakfast in the AM and Sunday Morn. Our server was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is that of a sports bar with TVs all over. The breakfast was good.“

“Went to new location . It’s a lovely setting and the food was outstanding. Delicious tasting and unique presentations. The only downside is most of the portions seem to have gotten much smaller and costs up. But I guess that’s the case everywhere these days.“

“Had Smash burger,wagyu burger, fried chicken sandwich, Ruben sandwich and French onion mac & cheese.Food ratings out of 10Smash 9Wagyu 5.5 (needs salt & pepper.... More flavor. Only tasted jalapenos and the bbq onions had no flavor. Add cheese, drop onions, add bbq sauce = better)Chicken 3.5 dry, dry, tough no flavor save the sauce.Rebun sandwich 8Mac 10Fries 8.5“

“whenever I am in Chestnut Hill I always say that I am going to try this restaurant. Well today I did and It did not disappoint OMG…. The restaurant is quaint and cute. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I ordered the broccoli quiche with turkey bacon on the side. That quiche is like none I have ever tasted, flaky crust and the filling reminded me of soufflé but much taster. I also brought 2 cups cakes carrot and coconut to go. I’m sure they are just as good. I can’t wait to go back because I hear there is a different quiche each week. This is my new breakfast place for sure.“

“This location was phenomenal! Everything was great the atmosphere, the drinks especially "the friendly neighbor" that drink was unforgettable. Really enjoyed the food also, tacos were very tasty! . Would recommend The Goat's Beard to anyone looking for the same experience!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here with ~40 guests and I can't imagine there is a location around Philadelphia that could be a better fit.We went for the family style service in a private room. All of the food was delicious (especially the Brussels sprouts) with generous portions (we took home 8 to-go boxes).“

“Great breakfast/diner-ish food--I'm partial to the creamed chipped beef. Mostly takeout (few tables), all Styrofoam + plastic--goes with their mostly takeout biz..Orders seem to flow smoothly, prices are better than fair and parking is plentiful.“

“This was our first time trying this place out. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious. Our starter, the hummus platter was sooo good! For dinner, I had the bruschetta chicken and my husband had the trout. We both loved our dishes. I took my leftover chicken home to my son and his only complaint was that I didn’t save him more haha! Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Just went to the Grill. Food was good. Clam chowder very rich as it should be. Asian salad a little heavy on the dressing but good. The Clothes Pin cocktail was ok but not exceptional; the st germain liquor was less evident than I'd hoped for. Coffee was good.Warning. While there is a ramp up to the door, the actual dining room is down a significant wide spiral stairs. There are railings so it us managable by someone with some mobility.Wheelchair accessibility: While there is a ramp up to the door, the actual dining room is down a significant wide spiral stairs.

“Consistently great food and service. I had not been there in a few months so I was so pleased to enjoy another fabulous meal there. Bonus its BYOB. My server was very attentive despite a busy Saturday night. It does get noisy in their small space as it fills up.“

“last weekend was my first time and I CANT WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND TO ROLL AROUND FOR ROUND TWO! delicious food. amazing service. it’s honestly top tier. thank you!!vegan strawberry and chocolate cake were amazingggg!!! vegan potato salad, mac and cheese and broccoli cheddar soup like WOW!please give 25-45 wait time but it’s worth it!Parking: very easy to park. on the corner on both sides of the street.“

“First time and it was great! It didn't feel like or look like your average diner. Wait time however was long which made me think the food must be good. We actually were accommodate quicker than the originally wait time which was 45 minutes. It was crowded, even the bar area. People's food was coming out and it made it hard to decide what to eat...lol I had the chicken Parm. It didn't disappoint! Will definitely revisit.“

“Try Every Room! You'll Be Glad You Did! I've only had dinner in the booths that separate the Sycamore Room from the bar. For the lunch of a dozen oysters and a lobster roll (excellent!), we had to try the bar. For a dark wood ambience, it's pretty lively with the vintage musical instrument displays and album cover art. With different themes in each dining room, it's like four restaurants in one! As for the menu, I haven't gone wrong yet with anything I've chosen.“

“I ate at Bar Avalon last night and both the food and service was extremely exceptional. We were attending an event and on a time crunch. Our server was attentive and was quick with recommendations. Everything we had was so good and my Dirty Martini was spot on. Even though I’m not from the area, I will be back and plan on eating here again. Thank you for a great experience ❤️“

“The food was very good and the restaurant was very lively. It's much more of a family oriented restaurant than I realized. I would go back with kids but probably not just with adults. It was very loud so not ideal for quiet conversation. But if you're looking for a lively family friendly restaurant, this would be a great option!“

“A wonderful 5-star lunch experience ! Coming back from a mid-day center city concert, decided to stop in @ Tavern On the Hill rather than MacNally's...SO glad we did ! Bartender Mackenzie couldn't have been better : super-efficient AND super-personable ! I've had many excellent meals here before, lunch and dinners, today was no exception. Straying from our regular menu favorites ( tough to pass on the always great burger or turkey'n' brie sandwich),we both had the same "special"...a smoked kielbasa/ kraut sandwich. Not an item I'd usually rave over, it was just perfect...the best I've ever had. Great kielbasa, nicely toasted roll, homemade-tasting kraut...and even a high-quality tasty brown mustard. You just won't go wrong here... where else would somebody rave about a kielbasa sandwich ??? Can't wait to return for lunch OR dinner...“

“Yard House is amazing! Very fun loud place overall! Their food is awesome! My family and I tried a few dishes and all are awesome. Definitely hope to come back here again. Their service is mind blowing. It is awesome how fast the food comes. The appetizers came in Less than 10 minutes! Over all amazing restaurant!!“

“This is our favorite go-to date night spot! Their signature cocktails are excellent and the food never disappoints! I look forward to trying their weekly specials when I am looking for something new and I cant leave without getting their fried cauliflower appetizer. I love bringing friends to try out this great local spot!“

“We were there for Brunch on a Sunday morning. This was the most amazing brunch spread I have ever seen. Fresh fruits, bagels and breads, oysters on the half shell, shrimp, chicken tenders, creamed chip beef, beef carving station and the list goes on.... The chef had a fantastic personality and was creating the omelets (eggs) of your choice. Everything was delicious. The server was fantastic as well. Will definitely go back when in town again!!“

“Can I give 6 stars!?!? Holy cow, did Goat’s Beard Manayunk NAIL it for my birthday party this weekend. Every single aspect of the party was on point and above expectations. From someone taking coats as soon as people entered to the speedy and excellent service of our waiter, Tim (amazing is not a strong enough word for him!). The food was delicious and all of the staff were accommodating. Everyone attending the party commented on how perfectly the party, drinks and food flowed. Thank you, Goats Beard for a simply flawless birthday party!“

“This restaurant is basically in the lobby of the Embassy Suites, it was not very crowded so I was a little nervous to eat here. However, we had excellent service and the food was delicious. I even thought it was the best coke I've ever drank. I think they are only open for dinner.“

“First time trying this place and I probably will go back. The food is very good and the wine and drinks menu is varied. The service needs help. From the hostess who seemed lost as to where to put us to the server who walked past our table multiple times without checking on us, it was very frustrating. Our drink order (wine and a cocktail) took 20 minutes and the server didn't bother to come back and take our food order in that time. The food came out quickly after we ordered, but at the end of the meal, the waiter dropped the check without asking if we wanted dessert. Everyone was friendly enough but ineffective.“

“Great Happy Hour! Amazing drink selection and apps. Great quality for the price. We go there a lot for HH then catch a movie at Ambler Theater across the street. Wish they would change the hours to 4:30-6:30 for their HH though. Movies are usually at 7 and hanging there for an hr before film starts is a bit of a wait.“

“What a pleasant experience. The food was delicious. The Service was very personal and outstanding. Manager, Tyler made sure that everything was enjoyable and very presentable. I will return again and make sure that my friends and colleagues are aware of the enjoyable experience at bonefish.“

“Sabrina’s is always a hit for me. Depending on what time of you day you visit, it can get really busy. The service is always good, & the food is always delicious. Lately, I’ve been sticking with the chicken & waffles. The chicken is always seasoned, & the waffles are always nice and fluffy. The french toast is good, but I never seem to finish it.“

“Hands down the BEST bar scene anywhere. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I consider the staff our friends, with an even stronger relationship following my 50th birthday party held there (I would if I could name everyone who takes care of us on here) And the food!!!!! No visit to ambler is complete without a trip to Gypsy Blu!!!!“

“Whatever you do, if you go here for brunch you must get the biscuit board. The honey butter + the crispy/fluffy biscuits that do not fall apart like every other biscuit I've ever had was the most delightful appetizer I've had for breakfast. Espresso martini was average at best, would recommend just a regular coffee instead of a breakfast cocktail.“

“This small restaurant is a deceivingly good place for some high quality seafood. The drinks were great, the food was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. If you’re in the area, it’s a little off the “main strip” of restaurants but totally worth trying!“

“This is the cutest BYOB with large portions. The food is delicious! I have been here twice in the last month. First was a brunch with family. They have a covered patio that makes it perfect for a little party. 16-18 people at most! I had the shrimp and grits. Great flavor. The grits could've been cooked a little longer but a lot of people enjoy the gritty grit of it best. The pancakes were divine! With just a drop of syrup you have perfection. When I came back for dinner, I got the coconut shrimp. Butterflied with an orange marmalade you can't get any better. Crispy, crunchy and light. I think it is the higher quality meat that made the cheesesteak egg rolls better than I've had in the past. A thicker roll dough with seasoned ketchup! Delectable and the provolone cheese hit the spot. The Milan salad was perfect. Initially I didn't think thousand island would be good on it so I asked for it on the side. It DOES work! I'm always too full to try dessert but it is a must next visit.“

“A friend and I went to The Greeks to watch the Phillies game and one of the worker that was behind the bar were being RUDE to us. We were sitting at the bar and (not even) 4 minutes into the game. He come to us and said; if you guys going to sit here, you have to order, than he added, I’m being serious. My friend and I both know that, but he DID NOT have to be rude about it by adding “I’m serious” at the end of that statement. Before the game even started, I told the other worker that was behind the bar that I would order a few minutes into the game.“

“People make the difference, no matter the business. Kelly, the General Manager is a pure example of that looks like, as well as her team. Customer service is top notch here. The food matches it. You don’t feel like you’re in a typical pizza place. It’s a real dining experience. Great place to go!!!“

“We enjoyed a fabulous dinner last night… still thinking about each item we ordered and excited to be back to taste everything on the menu. The octopus was so tender and one of the best I have experienced. My entree, short rib, was wonderful and all agreed. Our table also had the branzino and the pasta special, each were outstanding. How have we missed this gem? We will be back!!“

“The owners have several locations. I've only been to this one. Nice for formal or casual dining. Every thought has been put into ambiance, decor, and dining experience. There is also a private event room available. We ate at the bar and shared the local artisan cheese board. Will definitely be back.“

“We enjoy dining out at all of the White Dog locations. Haverford is much quieter than the Wayne location. The cocktails and food are awesome. Tried the new Swordfish special and it was delicious as was the Pork Shank. Service was fine but entrees did take some time to come out. Server was apologetic. But that is better than being rushed out as some other restaurants do. You never get a bad meal here.“
