50 Best American Restaurants near Chadds Ford

“In town visiting my Bestie and we came and had brunch. We ate outside. The atmosphere was great, and our server was also great. The food came out in a timely fashion. I had the fresh berry French toast with scrambled eggs and chicken sausage. Everything tasted delicious..“

“Recently had dinner here on a Friday evening, we were seated immediately, without reservations, in the bar area. Service was quick, food was good! A little loud , but we were in the bar area. There was a group of about 12 people nearby. My only complaint is charging $16. for a glass of sangria? Really? It's mostly ice and fruit. I almost fell out of the booth when i saw that! Just a buyer beware. Overall good experience, great food!“

“THEY'RE BACK!! I almost didn't want to write a review because there's already a line going out the front door just like the old days and I don't want to encourage even more people to know about the awesome mushroom, Chadds Ford vibe Hank's brings. The amazing host, cooks and wait staff bring the biggest smile back. Ya gotta go!! Enjoy!“

“Everything was phenomenal. From the service to the food. Highly Recommend.“

“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.“

“Had my first Roots experience today! The cafe is beautiful, staff is fantastic, and the food is incredible! Cannot wait to go back❤️“

“Fantastic place. The food was delicious w/ every bite. Staff were so friendly and caring. Everything I ate/enjoyed I savored and it left me wanting another plate, but I left so filled and pleased with the whole experience. Can't wait to return!“

“Maybe if we had been drinking alcohol, & lots of it, we would've received better service?
Food was wonderfully delicious and arrived sooner than expected. Many kudos to the back of the house. Front of house ghosted us. But, then good service is an ancient myth these days. And then they want a 20% tip? What a joke.“

“Always wonderful photographing weddings at this incredible venue. Amazing architecture and a super-friendly staff who serve the most delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“It was out first time coming here and we were excited about how cute it is! It's definitely a nice spot just to hangout and grab a drink. It is a little pricy, it cost us about $50 for 2 rounds of cocktails. Considering how strong the drinks were though I really can't be too upset! Definitely wanna come back to try some food!“

“First time today. We'll be back.“

“Just stopped and got the buffalo shrimp taco and it was EPIC!!! Dave and staff are really great and the atmosphere is spot on. If your near booths corner check them out, also does catering as well.“

“It was really good! I LOVE a good Cheese Plate, and I got a Great cheese plate! I also got the Foie Gras Burger. I hadn't had foie gras before, so I thought it was pretty cool that I could try it at a place that wasn't a high-end French restaurant. It was pretty good! I enjoyed all of the food there. The waitstaff was awesome. Really nice atmosphere as well. Would Definitely go again. Kinda want to go now...but it's 7:30am 🤣“

“An eclectic, fun atmosphere with delicious food!“

“I’ve always loved Columbus Inn throughout the years and highly recommend it for quality fine dining and a quaint enjoyable atmosphere. And the front deck is an amazing spot all year round.“

“Amazing for individuals with celiac and just anyone! My daughter can eat here with no problem. So many yummy options. We love that we don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Highly recommended!“

“The Back Burner has a gem in Patty. The food is always dependable, and the wine list is surprisingly reasonable for some good quality wines. I think all of these things contribute to the restaurant's staying power in Hockessin.“

“Fun environment, nice crowd“

“So good!! Small menu but it’s done perfectly!“

“😍Tucked just off the road like a well-kept secret, Snuff Mill Steakhouse & Butchery is a revelation—a celebration of fine dining wrapped in the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, intimate interior that feels both polished and personal. High tables, rich wood tones, and a welcoming bar set the tone. And just to the left of the entrance, a gleaming meat case—like a culinary altar—builds anticipation with its marble-cut promise of things to come. Whimsy lives here too, from the surprise artworks to the playful presence of pigs in unexpected places (don’t miss the one keeping watch near the door). The wine list? Impeccably curated, with a focus on hand-selected bottles that beg to be explored. Cocktails are more than drinks—they’re small works of art, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly care. Then there’s Bill Irvin—proprietor, oyster whisperer, and front-of-house magician. A certified oyster expert, Bill pairs briny beauties with grace and authority. The chef and kitchen brigade bring French-influenced finesse to every plate, sourcing only the finest local ingredients. The results? Steaks seared to sublime, seafood that sings, and appetizers that linger on the palate like a good memory. The in-house pastry chef seals the deal—so save room. The desserts are nothing short of transportive. Snuff Mill is more than a meal; it’s a destination. Guests travel from near and far, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.“

“Dear God, Andiario. Quirky wine list, honest hospitality, genuinely cared for produce. What the hell else could you ask for? So blindsided that I’d dare say that this is the best dinner I’ve ever had. And yet, a layman can still enjoy it— if you can steal a reservation. Michelin Guide was built on places like this.“

“Mike provided our group an excellent customer service …“

“Meghan’s was busy when we arrived. Breakfast was brought out to us in minutes after placing our order. Waitress very pleasant and fast. Bacon 🥓, sausage, coffee and eggs were good. Personally I can make way better French toast. Highly recommend Meghan’s. We will definitely be back.“

“our waitress Shannon at the Metro Wilmington DE location was AMAZING! Great food, eggs, grits and pancakes are super yummy. Highly reccomend!!!“

“Food and drinks were great - pub burger was excellent - and we really enjoyed the acoustic live music atmosphere!“

“Lettie’s catered our Fantasy Football party and everyone RAVED about the food!! The chicken was absolutely delicious. Tom made everything so easy. 100% recommend and can’t wait to use Lettie’s again! Keep up the great work!“

“Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and level of service at this restaurant. Ordered a scallop dish and a pasta dish and were totally blown away! Will definitely go back next time we visit.“

“Waited 40 minutes for hush puppies while the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. Primary food order came 5 minutes later and my son’s order was wrong. It’s a shame because the food is good. But the service has been so slow both times I’ve been here. They did comp his meal. Just expect to wait a while and enjoy your drinks. Don’t come if you’re in a hurry.“

“We had a great time! The beers were cheap and the band was fun. We will be back!“

“We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.“

“Such an incredible restaurant! We stopped in after a trip to Longwood Gardens and loved the pizza and grilled turkey club! The brisket fries for an appetizer were also delish!“

“This was our first time ordering from LaSpada's in Glen Mills. It was Superbowl Sunday so they were busy but the quality of the cheesesteaks and Old-fashioned Italian hoagie was spot on. The beef was flavorful and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of cheese on the sandwich. The hoagie had quality meats and was more than enough for a meal. Given that we ordered on Superbowl Sunday, we were given a specific pickup time and our sandwiches were hot and ready upon arrival. The call taker was pleasant and the counter staff was welcoming, despite it being a hectic day for them. We will be ordering for LaSpada's Glen Mills again!“

“We ate here last night, we had the best food and the best waiter! It was a treat all around!“

“Awesome dessert , we love it , the foood and the people were so awesome“

“Great spot indoors or out.“

“Met a friend for dinner last night and everything was absolutely delicious. The salmon sliders were divine 😍, I would definitely order those 100 times. Thanks for a great dinner!“

“Clean restaurant with fast service and delicious food! I have a severe food allergy which makes it hard to eat at most restaurants. However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️“

“I absolutely love the charcoal pit. Been a customer since I was a kid. But what is up with the new French fries?? The fries that you always had before were way better and perfect rather than these new godaweful things. Please change back to the original ones. These SUCK 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“I’d give this 10 stars if I could! Absolutely delicious! We ordered delivery from Grubhub and the food came hot fresh and so so yummy! Huge portions - lasted us multiple meals. Highly recommend the hot mess fries! Do not sleep on this place!“

“Great course and clubhouse. Friendly staff.“

“2FG knocked it out of the park for our daughter's wedding! Jeff made the planning phase and menu selection easy, he took the time to make a visit required to the venue, and made sure all of our guests had a great dinner within our budget. There was something for everyone to enjoy. Our guests especially raved about the brisket! We will absolutely use them again for future events 🌟“

“Very nice and friendly owner and staff. Food always delicious 😋 Very clean cozy environment 👌“
