Restaurants in Bryn Mawr

“Johnny's has the best cheesesteaks and square pizza hands down! I love Angelo's, Dough head and John's roast pork but this place is definitely better. I love that you can find parking and actually sit inside and not have to eat in my van at lunch when I'm on the road. Go Johnny Go!!!!”

“Delicious dinner and friendly staff! The burrata salad was very good, a must have! The scallop appetizer was unique and tasty, highly recommend. The Chilean sea bass in truffle sauce was A+++, one of the best I’ve ever had. The dessert at the end make the dinner complete! Compliments to the chef Volodymyr Hyvel! Wonderful experience and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back.”

“A favorite local spot. The Halibut special was so fresh and flavorful, the branzino and octopus are always great choices. The chef takes pride in everything he prepares for the table. The service is professional and friendly and the space is cozy and clean.”

“Everything is great! From the bar to the appetizer's To the servers! The food is out of this world!! Highly recommend it!”

“Loved the Scranton Fancy Lager and the Smoked Pork Italiano Sandwich!!”

“Everything is fresh and delicious! Atmosphere is very friendly, they treat you like family!”

“I loved my Portabello Mushroom “steak sandwich”! As a vegetarian it’s nice to have options when the family wants to go out for cheesesteaks. My boys each had a milkshake! Yummy”

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious food. Awesome pancakes and gluten-free options. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoy our visits here.”

“Although it’s named “to-go” there are actually 2 tables inside for dine in with 4 chairs each. I got the lunch special and they brought my food out and gave me iced water with it! The sushi was fresh and delicious. The man who brought my food out even turned the fan on and put it in my direction. They are all super friendly! Would definitely recommend for the food and service.”

“You can taste how fresh the ingredients are. It’s amazing!”

“Amazing establishment. First I want to recognize Naya for her amazing service. She is an extremely friendly and passionate person. Shout out to the cook Stefan for the amazing wings and sauces. Bathroom was extremely clean and smelled pleasant. Overall this place is an easy 10/10 to dine in and get some amazing comfort food. I’m drove from South Jersey and will gladly take this drive again. Thank you very much team!!!”

“Best brownie ever!”

“This is by far the BEST Tiffin… wildly better than Wynnewood. We moved from Bryn Mawr to Havertown about 7 years ago and still order our take out from Bryn Mawr after trying Wynnewood a few times. The quality of food is far superior from the Bryn Mawr Tiffin. Our favorite Indian food!”

“Tommy was great, made some solid recommendations for my dietary needs, as I have a gluten allergy.

the Summer Corn Caesar Salad (without croutons) was very good”

“Thank you so much for having a place that offers a good meal for people like me....I have Celiac and haven't eaten out at a restaurant in years. I'm so worried about being cross contaminated and being safe at Lovebird made me happy. Finding this local spot in my son's college town made my day and I will be back again!”

“We love this place. We live in Philly, but just stumbled on it one day. Maybe it’s the owner, but a visit there feels like a special occasion . The appetizer of pita with a variety of dips is incredible, and filling. Next to come are dishes of souvlaki, falafel, lamb brochettes, vegetables, rice and salad. They are known for outstanding baklava (even for those who think they don’t like baklava), AND chocolate mousse. We have brought relatives and friends here from Washington, D.C. and Harrisburg, and all were thrilled .”

“Excellent Sushi! Order at home and they’ll give you a pretty accurate time estimate for pickup via text! They do have a few tables inside and out as well!”

“The best steak sandwiches, burgers, chicken strips and of course their famous best of county pizzas.”

“Breakfast sandwich was very good , for my Birthday I got a complimentary cup of tea ☕️”

“Best ramen I had ever had”

“The atmosphere at Carina Sorella is exquisite ✨. The interior design is wonderful, with custom tables and booths reminiscent of a bygone Casablanca era 🎞🥂. The straightforward menu covers all the bases well 🍝🍷. Parking can be a bit troublesome 🚗, but overall, a beautiful setting with plenty of character and charm.”

“Tucked inside the Mom's Organic Market at the back of this shopping center, Naked Lunch is named for William Burroughs and vegan except for some dairy cheese. The portions are big, and there is a cute seating area where you can watch the shoppers go by. (This market is the most spacious I have ever seen.) Like another reviewer said, you can get a meal and then shop. The kale Caesar crunch salad is one of the best salads I have ever had, with tender kale, pumpkin seeds, quinoa, and chickpeas, and you get 3 large cauliflower tacos that have a bit of spice. The create-your-own-bowl is a great option too -- and you can do that with pressed juices too. How I wish we had a market and cafe like this closer to home, but it's worth a drive.

“The Italian ice is delicious, the custards are amazing.

The staff was awesome and incredibly friendly.

Would give 6 stars if I could!”

“El servicio es muy bueno, la comida de muy buena calidad. El ambiente muy familiar y el lugar altamente recomendado!!”

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.”

“I am a newb letter carrier and I am absolutely thrilled to have this little gem on my route! I stopped in for a slice on my lunch break and...🍕🤤🎇🤯😍 Pure magic. It hits every note. Great vibe, great pizza. Nuf said.”

“Friendly, delicious! Loved this restaurant!”

“The service was top notch and the atmosphere was pleasant. I had the Manhattan Roll, it was a new one for me and it was great. My main entree was the General Tao's Chilean Sea Bass and that did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back and hopefully sooner.rather than later.”

“Just ate Green Goddess in the hospital it’s so delicious I was thoroughly surprised how fresh it was coming from a vending machine !!!!!! You will not be disappointed !!! So good so healthy”

“The ladies are awesome every time I visit—this past Sunday, 5/18 during closing my server was so helpful, she gave me great suggestions and her spirit was amazing! Good conversation!”

“WOW!!!! I was the first guest at GHAL after reopening, and it DID NOT disappoint!!! Great food ( awesome menu), great drinks, and UNBELIEVABLE service 🤙🤙🤙🤙 Thanks Patrick, DEFINITELY coming back soon 👏👏👏”

“I was introduced to these cookies years ago, and they have become my go-to choice for special occasions for many reasons. First, they are absolutely delicious! Second, I appreciate their business practices. Just yesterday, I ordered some cookies, and although they usually ship the next day, they weren't able to get into the shop due to the ice. I received a thoughtful phone call from a man named Mike. He informed me that they typically do not ship on Fridays, but given the inclement weather, they would be making an exception. He even apologized for the delay. You rarely get this kind of courtesy call from businesses anymore.”

“Came here today for the first time, and brought my grandson with me. We loved the food, and everyone who was working there was very friendly and kind. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely be back!”

“Can't even remember when I had curry chicken they seasoned it perfectly and that is my new lunch dinner and possibly breakfast because they made it great and it even helped inflammation in my body. My new go to .. the other food was the best as well! I'll add a pic later!”

“We were very concerned when the name changed but nothing else changed. Still THE BEST fresh delicious amazing food. We are there at least once a week usually twice and the to go is our XMAS eve party food. Would give them 10 stars . One meal feeds two people”

“Great HH, food, had the crab cocktail, wedge salad and short ribs. All AMAZING”

“i love you uncommon grounds bryn mawr... even when you were closed when i needed your chicken tenders most... even when you were only serving your breakfast menu.... you were there for me when i was delirious from lack of sleep and hadn't eaten any breakfast.... you deserve the world.”

“I traveled from Ann arbor for the weekend and wanted to visit Lourdas. I hadn't been there for years but it is as lovely and inviting as it was years ago. We had grilled Octopus salad and soupa avgolemono. Then we had shrimp Lourdas and lamb chops. They were both delectable. We took baklava and galactobureko home for dessert. The staff were attentive and patient and the other patrons seemed to be regulars with a few newbies here and there. I can't wait to go back!!”

“Honestly, I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I selfishly love being able to grab incredible sandwiches here without a huge line, but people need to know this place makes some of the best hoagies and sandwiches around. The Roast Pork Special is a 10/10. I worked near Reading Terminal Market for years and ate at Dinic’s twice a week, and Antonella’s roast pork is very similar, definitely worth orering.”

“While working in this industry…. What a pleasure to dine here. The service was amazing and food was delicious. You must have good leadership ❤️ THANK YOU!!!”

“Top notch customer service! Eugene at the Bryn Mawr location was fantastic in helping me with my order. Thank you so much!”

“Amazing service and delicious food that came out super fast. I’m surprised they weren’t more busy! Definitely coming back for that chicken taco”

“This is a small but one of the best places to get some delicious sushi! The lion king roll has always been my favorite.I would give 10 stars for it being BYOB. There’s a place across the street to even buy some alcohol.”

“If you enjoy classic dishes from India & Nepal, or if you're a first timer to this culinary experience, make the Nirvana brand your paramount dining destination in the Philly region. Eat-in or take-out you won't be disappointed.”

“I work up the road and we ordered for pick up for lunch and it was delicious! BLT’s can be tricky for takeout. The bread was toasted, fresh yet crunchy and delicious. The bacon was thick and cooked perfectly with a good portion on the sandwich. The lettuce and tomato were also fresh and distributed evenly with the mayo. Served with fresh coleslaw and a pickle! My new favorite lunch spot!! Can’t wait to try the other menu items.”

“Old old old incredibly old school pizza joint with a vibe frozen in the early 80s pretending to be the 1950s. They've got anchovies, does that help explain the vibe? Mexicola, too. Booths are a Lurks snug for my midlife fatness, but I love seeing my wife eat pizza that makes her happy.
It's like an amusement park ride for pizza in real life. Definitely worth the experience.”

“We love coming to Xolo. The service is amazing, the food is fresh and flavorful and the drinks are great. Recommend the shrimp ceviche, the tacos al pastor and the carne tampiqueña. Great selection of tequilas and mexican beers. We'll be back!”

“We love surreal and miss it now that it moved away from our area. No other ice cream place has the unique flavors and combinations of Surreal. The Earl grey Vietnamese coffee or the Matcha and Tarro flavors are the best.”

“Love the food definitely returning 🥘”

“I’m visiting from out of town, looking for a solid cup of coffee and place to relax for a bit. Great recommendation! Quality, respectable coffee and stellar service.”

“Not that good”

“The Sea Isle location was so accommodating to my son’s allergy…willing to go above and beyond to make our trip not only delicious, but safe. Thank you!!”

“Great service and food! Very affordable”

“I've had takeout from Ekta probably hundreds of times over the years and have never been disappointed. They have great options for vegetarians, but every menu item I've tried has been fantastic!”

“Greeted with great energy from staff right away. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. The server came right away. The food came out quick. Everything tasted great! The staff checked on us frequently to make sure everything was good. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.”

“I have gone to this restaurant a few times with my mom and we both LOVE the food!! The workers are nice and friendly and we love the layout of the restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Good Evening Family. I visited before my doctor's appointment. My appointment is across the street. Its at 7:10 AM. I decided on a medium decaf hot coffee black with pumpkin. It was delicious!!! Then I went and sat in my car until my appointment. My visit at Dunkin was good. A good experience here today. I tipped the coffee staff. Have a good night, workout, be active and mobile, fit and fabulous especially for people over 50 years of age.”

“My husband and I went for lunch today. The food was delicious (we were already familiar with the bagels), however the staff was very distracted. They were friendly and pleasant but they got some things wrong even though it wasn’t very busy. I asked for the honey mustard mayo on the side and it was omitted completely. Also, some of the apple slices still had the stickers on them which means they most likely weren’t washed or looked at prior to using. That’s pretty careless to put fruit slices with stickers in a sandwich.”

“Fun place with very good food!”
