“We love the expanding options here . . . from amazing turkey specials ("How many napkins?" they ask before building!) to chicken parm sandwiches and the recent addition of a hot food bar (OMG the chicken marsala!), CreekSide has become a weekly go-to spot for us!“

“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.“

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

“Visited Cousin’s Burgers today for their grand opening and it was absolutely worth the wait! The location is perfect and such a fantastic addition to downtown West Chester. As a two-time graduate of West Chester University, I especially loved seeing the WCU-themed murals inside — such a thoughtful and local touch. The staff was incredibly friendly, the service was quick, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area craving a great smash burger. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Congratulations to Mani and the team, and welcome to West Chester!“

“We ordered fahead from Nifty Fifties for a department meeting. We gave a time for pick up. The order was ready, everything was perfect. The milkshakes were cold and a big hit with everyone. I previously had a lunch there and the food was fresh and tasty. I recommended Nifty Fifty's so I am glad it was a good enjoyable choice for all.“

“Del Rossi to me is the best cheesesteak in the city. They’re permanent bread and fresh ingredients makes it amazing. And one of the things that people sleep on there is the chicken cheesesteak probably the best chicken cheese that I’ve ever had. The staff is great. The owners are great. This was a great experience.“

“If you are in Philly, don’t worry about those classy expensive restaurants - we had the best authentic Philly Steak cheese sandwich from these guys. With the most fabulous service too. Highly recommended. 👏👏“

“ordered for the first time today. Very good can't wait to try something new next time!“

“First time there. It was awesome. Burgers are to die for!!“

“The DM Sadonna was so welcoming. I passed her when shopping in Whole Foods and was asking about a food item. She kindly let me know she was unsure as she was not a WF employee. Fast forward when I went to order from PLNT she greeted me with a warm smile and hello as she recognized me from earlier. As I was deciding what to get she recommended the chilli and offered a sample. DELICIOUS! While preparing my order she held small conversation with my friend and I and still made a phemomenal burger. For my very first time meeting her, it felt like an old friend. I can only imagine the how she makes her staff feel. Definitley would go back just to say hello the next time Im food shopping in WF. Also the other young lady Kelly was sweet as well. As far as the food... you cant ever go wrong! Even my meat-eater friend and family enjoys the food. It is that good!!“

“I have been here many times but tonight I tried their new menu and it was excellent. I had to the roasted squash grilled cheese and my boyfriend had the Korean shrimp po boy. They were the best food I’ve had at a fun pub. Our server was also friendly and attentive. Highly recommend“

“great burger, very tasty!“

“insanely thoughtful bar food in a dim and intimate dining area tucked behind a neighborhood bar. the kid's cheeseburger paired a supremely peppery 4oz beef patty with a soft potato bun and the platinum standard for American cheese, Cooper Sharp. the lime gimlet was fresh, limpid, and married the premium gin with mint and citrus flavors. the preserved citrus slice drifted elegantly in a coupe glass.“

“Burgers and shakes are awesome here. Ya gotta give them a try ! We will be back for sure“

“Second time I've been here in a month. Not from Philly. Traveling. The first time was the breakfast cheese steak. My son was obsessed with that. Tonight had the regular cheese steak w extra Cooper. Omg. Insane. The bread. The steak. The cheese. I only took like 4 bites but I think it was my favorite steak n cheese ever. Also just great atmosphere. The dude who runs the bar is on point. Love this place.“

“A couple onion rings were slightly charred and still good but I’m still giving it a 5 star because this burger was so damn good. Bread, beef, smoky mayo, bacon. Nothing took away from either bite to bite and that’s rare. I will legit take bacon off a burger that is too crispy or too soggy.“

“food is always nice and fresh.“

“I tried CM Chicken recently and honestly it lived up to the hype. The chicken was super crispy on the outside but still juicy inside, which is really what you want with Korean fried chicken. I got the garlic soy flavor and it had that perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overwhelmingI tried CM Chicken recently and honestly it lived up to the hype.

“A great fast-food restaurant in the city.“

“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“

“Amazing food, nice atmosphere and kind staff.“

“I went to Gouldsburger’s not knowing what to expect and came out pleasantly surprised. I am very particular about my burgers and cheesesteaks, but to say that what I ordered was merely delicious would be a gross understatement. When my husband, son and I entered the premises, we were greeted by Nick, the owner who kindly gave us the lay of the land. We decided to try a bit of everything: a burger, fried chicken sandwich, and the chicken and prime beef steak. All were amazing but I was most impressed with the prime steak with its artisanal everything roll and the Colby jack cheese. If you want to try something unique yet very Philadelphian when stopping in the city, skip Pat’s and Geno’s and go to Gouldsburgers. (P.S.: they fry everything in Olive oil. It doesn’t get better than that!)“

“I came in to order a sympathy standing bouquet and was welcomed and comforted. I truly appreciate the kindness during a difficult time. The flowers were perfectly beautiful. Thank you.“

“Johnnys Hots is the best Fish Cakes and everything else is the best. Prices are grest. Love their food.“

“Best burger around! And the hot dogs are delicious as well!“

“It would be more appropriate for the cooks & some servers use hair nets & beard nets.I been coming to the place for yrs. But things have change from more consideration to patrons..big hair & large beards fly around..ITS very not hygienic not covering up properly..“

“Well i was kinda a asshole hard to find at 1st next to a gas station ..walked in and was told 20 min after I paid ...I was like no refund that im not waiting 20 min...well for whatever reason the guys were like wait hold on well do it in 10...I was like ok...well they did do it in 10 and ya their burgers are worth the wait!!“

“Kia was our service and when i tell you she is the bomb.com. She made my family feel like we was the only ones she was attending too. She had 4 other tables, but she made all the tables feel like we was top priority. She’s very amazing with children and you can tell she really loves her job. The manger Steven (i think that was his name) came and checked on the table and let us know Kia is definitely one of the best. I’ll be back for sure on Kia shift.
Yall have to make sure yall keep her around.“

“Such a nice little place. It was my first time going and I would probably go every time I’m there and not get tired of the flavors. They have their own signature sauce and I suggest that you try it especially on a mushroom, onion and Swiss burger.“

“m2o is my go to for takeout in the neighborhood. great vegetarian options-I usually get the black bean burger on a pretzel bun, easily one of the best black bean burgers I’ve ever had. milkshakes are very good but wish they were a bit cheaper.“

“I highly recommend this black owned restaurant, the food was amazing and customer service was outstanding. If you want some delicious and tasty food, go to South Flavor. You won’t regret it. You can thank me later!!“

“We were there the other day with our family and our server name was Shiya and she was wonderful and so attentive and pleasant. One of the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant. She asked to refilled our drinks before we had to ask. She was helpful with suggestions when ordering. She checked in on ours just at the right times. Just a beautiful pleasant person. Thank you so much for helping our lunch go so smoothly.“
