New American Restaurants near Elkins Park, PA

“Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Really great! A very fun dining experience, the flavors are all great. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the first course was shared on plates with another person. I would have preferred all individual settings, even though I know it is a supper club feel.“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“We started off at the bar for drinks and an app. Drinks were unique and delicious. Oysters were served with a restaurant made fermented hot sauce. We moved from bar to table with a bottle of wine. Portions for dinner were large enough to share. Again we enjoyed unique finishes and flavors on dishes designed to spark the taste buds. Dessert and after dinner drinks capped off a well rounded and delicious experience. The service was top notch with all staff able to offer explanations and suggestions of the menu items.“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“We were there for a private party wedding. My partner and I are vegetarian and there is not a lot on the standing menu that is vegetarian or vegan friendly. However, we notified our server and he said he would talk to the chef. With a couple of exceptions of things that they could easily modify from the standing menu, they essentially created an entirely new vegetarian menu for us on the spot. And it was really out of this world. There were so many great and interesting flavors. The staff and kitchen really went out of their way to make sure we were served delicious food along with the rest of the party. There were also two children at our table and they made accommodations to the menu for the kids as well. I would return to Helm in a heartbeat. I did not catch our server's name but he was outstanding.“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“We usually come here on date nights for drinks, but decided to dine here before we moved out of the city. We are continuously impressed with the inventive nature of those working here. Both food and drink menus are rotating, some items new from season to season, while other staple items are reimagined with nuances to keep people’s palettes on their toes. I don’t think we’ve ordered something here that we haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Tom is the mixologist bartender who is always pushing boundaries with his house cocktails. He has told us before that he tries to create a drink for each flavor profile. There seems to be a unique selection for everyone, and just like the chefs with their dishes, Tom is unapologetic in his choice of ingredients. There seems to be a lot of passion and pride in what is made here. Kiddo has a relaxed atmosphere, and the bar is our go-to spot. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is one-of-a-kind.“

“Do yourself a favor. Go to Bad Brother and order the ribeye! This steak was superb. Perfectly cooked, great presentation, mildly smokey. I can go on and on! The atmosphere at Bad Brother is comfortable and welcoming. It feels like you're dining at a friend's house. As I said, do yourself a favor. You'll thank me later!!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“Outstanding dinner.

Everything we ordered was exceptionally tasty.

The fritters were delicious. The Striped Bass in coconut curry was superb. The broccoli cheddar quiche was excellent. And the carrot soup was great.“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Love FSC, the location is great, ambience and food are wonderful. The outdoor patio is very cute also just be careful they don't sit you in full sun. St upstairs for the first time, very cute area but need more than 1 server up there. Poor guy was running ragged handling all the tables, we had to wait awhile to put in order and never got offered refills since he was always too busy running food and taking orders.“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“Great experience at this location, which is consistently good. Had flatbread was excellent. Lamb cooked perfectly and delicious. Trout excellent. Service was 10/10. Shout out to our waitress Natalie, who went above and beyond to make our evening great.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“Stellar place all around, whether you're eating in or getting delivery.

They are ON POINT with their estimated wait time for pickup orders, mich better than lots of restaurants around here. They greet with a smile and work with efficiency!“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“Such a great vibe. The food and drinks were superb. All hits and no misses from what we ordered. The Staff? Absolutely phenomenal. If you go you have to get the ribeye and oysters! Alice you are officially in my top 10 of Philadelphia restaurants. I will absolutely be back.“

“Our group of six had an absolutely wonderful meal! Focaccia and salad appetizers were delicious as were our main courses - tile fish, pasta, vegetable lasagna, and lamb. We finished up with one of each dessert, sharing with great pleasure. Our waitress Shannon was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient and made a special evening even better. Would highly recommended this terrific restaurant to anyone who loves great food!“

“Amazing restaurant with excellent food and even better service! Everything was delicious, and Jimmy was an awesome server—friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. Highly recommend Butcher Bar in Philly! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Absolutely Amazing!“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Finally got to visit my friend’s restaurant! We were NOT disappointed!! Excellent food, attentive staff in a quiet warm atmosphere. The menu made it so hard to decide but the Crab Cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten. The food at the whole table was amazing. Looking forward to dining again when we’re back in town!“

“Killer breakfast specials. Everything on the menu seems well-thought out and presented. Yummy place.“

“Very authentic American cuisine, I really like it.“

“The food and surface here were exceptional! We had the Smashburger, wings, Greek goddess salad, and chicken Caesar wrap with fries olive, which were spectacular! The weight staff is very friendly and attentive, what a great find on our visit to Philly.“

“Celebrated a friend’s 50th birthday Saturday night and came here for dinner at 7:30pm. The hostess was friendly and our server was attentive. We shared a bunch of apps and they were all delicious!! (Edamame, shrimp pad thai, chicken lettuce wraps, chicken satay, and brussel sprouts) After dinner we went up to the roof top which was the perfect ambiance for a girls night out… drinking espresso martinis and enjoying the weather. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Ordered a chicken pesto Stromboli and one of the reasons was the sun dried tomato’s. Unfortunately it came with regular tomatoes which made it watery. Sun-dried tomatoes are more expensive than plum tomatoes and the flavor is very different.if they were not available the server should have mentioned and the price should reflect the difference. Very disappointed and only had a couple bites.“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“It's hard not to enjoy the ambiance at La Croix overlooking Rittenhouse Square while in the background, there is live violin music. The Sunday brunch was enjoyable. We started with the devilled eggs, which had a unique, enjoyable undertone of saffron. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees, although I thought the hash brown in my Lobster hash brown was oily and flavorless. I think they missed the mark on dessert with the only true dessert option being a "make your own sundae". As it's a brand new brunch menu, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out. We would return!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere. Beautiful setting. Everyone that works here is super nice. Great beer as well!:)“

“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“

“OMG—the food was beyond delicious! I had the Old Bay crabmeat frittata and it absolutely blew me away. They were so generous with the crabmeat, and the flavor exceeded my expectations. Everything was delicious, and I would definitely come back to Izzy’s 33!“
