50 Best American Restaurants near Chadds Ford

“We travel in that area often. It's easy to get in and out. Plenty of parking. Only stop for breakfast. Never had any real complaints. Food is always well cooked and tasty. Good sized portions. We've had most items on menu. They have great omelet choices. I like the Farmer, with the meat. I would rather a traditional omelet with the ingredients added to cooked eggs and then rolled over. Nudy's cooks all together. Would highly recommend a stop at Nudy's.“

“10 Stars for our waitress Cathy! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My first time dining here and I have to say our waitress made our experience awesome! From the moment Cathy greeted us, we knew she would be amazingly attentive and professional!

She did not disappoint and was very friendly and accommodating with all of our requests.
It was obvious to all of us that she takes pride in her work, truly cares about her guests, and provides an awesome experience!

The atmosphere was a bit noisy, but cozy. The restaurant was quite busy when we were dining. Two of us got the Parmesan Crusted chicken which was good, but we won’t be getting it again because it did not excite, but the other two got the roast beef and a filet and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you want a fantastic dining experience, ask to be seated with Cathy. We will be requesting her each time we go!“

“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❤️“

“Dinner was excellent. Ordered lots on the menu and each was outstanding. The skate melted in your mouth. Tasted like chicken. Lamb carpaccio, pork steak, rainbow trout, ravioli, funghetti. Well worth it.“

“Amazing! My favorite breakfast place in the world!“

“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!“

“Excellent selections and fantastic service!“

“I would categorize myself as a somewhat fussy eater because I’m not usually enthused about food. This place is EASILY my favorite place to eat. It’s also the only place I look forward to hearing the specials and trying various things on the menu. I go there minimum once a week. Of all the times I’ve been I’ve only had 2 incidents where I was not happy with the cut of meat. When I brought the issue to the servers attention, they went above and beyond to make things right. I suggest making reservations because they are pretty busy from those that have also fallen in love with this amazing restaurant. The manager and all the employees are well mannered and offer top tier service.“

“We were a group of 54 for the Brunch Buffet- the coffee was hot, the food was delicious, service was wonderful- we had a great experience! Thank you to Glen and his team.“

“Great food, great beer. Enjoy the changing, weekly variety of chefs specials.

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

“I love the atmosphere at this quaint spot in North Wilmington. The service and food are the best! I highly recommend.“

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

“Wonderful food, highly recommend the grilled shrimp and the jerk egg rolls. Enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese too! Old fashion drink was really good!“

“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.“

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

“Great spot indoors or out.“

“First time today. We'll be back.“

“Muy buena comida! Y el servicio súper bien! We’ll definitely be back!“

“First time here. Good food and service! Only 'ding' is alcoholic drinks were weak and, the vanilla gelato did not taste like it but more likely ice cream. Gelato is creamier than ice cream. And it was not a scoop but more like 2 tablespoons. For $3, would expect a little more 'gelato'. Overall, good experience and would try again.“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love this place and everything about it, the food, the service, the atmosphere is laid back, no rush, no hard sell on the crème brûlée.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is my new favorite- the food , service and atmosphere were great. Everything felt like a well choreographed dinner put on just for us. The timing of dishes and attention to detail during device were superb
Andiario is the best in West Chester and beyond“

“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 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“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.“

“Fun environment, nice crowd“

“😍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.“

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

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

“Mike provided our group an excellent customer service …“

“This is by far the BEST cafe I’ve been to so far. Everything is a 10 for me especially their bagels, I haven’t been able to find a better one since I’ve tried their asiago bagel 😌 keep up the great work guys!!!“

“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.“

“good food and good service“

“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!“

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!“

“I loved it at this new restaurant! Full of wonderful food, great prices, and a terrific server. Sofia was kind and as helpful as can be. My friends and I would go back in a heartbeat! The manger was also incredibly friendly. Try it for your next outing!“

“Used uber eats. Food arrived quick. Portions are huge!“

“Great course and clubhouse. Friendly staff.“

“I would normally recommend Six Paulpers, HOWEVER, last night's service was terrible. Not sure what the problem was. We first waited for quite awhile for a waitress, so we just went to the bar to get our own drinks. The waitress shows up, we order our food, and it took quite awhile to get to us. My husband got the French dip and fries, I got the cheesesteak egg rolls. The FFs were cold, greasy and had no taste. My egg rolls were burnt. I sent the FF's back, and asked to see if the chef would like to look at the FF's! She goes OK, but the chef isn't in, just the sous chef! And that was it! 🤣We had to go to the bar for another drink. We finally saw our waitress again for us to ask for the bill! Hope this was just an off night!😬“

“This Grill is in The Amish Market. They have table service plus service at the Counter. I had breakfast on Friday and Saturday while getting my car inspected down the road. The quality of the food was not only good, but also tasty. The jelly on the Counter was also very good. Will be back. 🤗👍🏽👋🏽“

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

“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.“
