“I attended a Bridal shower, for my future daughter in law, at the Apple Tree House Restaurant. It was wonderful! The food was excellent! I can't say enough about how great the entire staff was! Michelle and Lauren made sure everything ran smoothly! Thank you all on a job well done! I highly recommend the Apple Tree House Restaurant!“

“We used Grico’s to cater our wedding and they were fantastic to work with. The catering manager, Marissa, was so easy to communicate with and promptly answered any questions that came up. They had a great selection of meal options and we chose the chicken francaise, blackened salmon with raspberry sauce, and filet mignon. All food choices were INCREDIBLE and all our guests were raving how great the food was. The service was top notch and the bartenders kept our drinks full all night. 10/10 service. We recommend Grico’s to anyone looking for an affordable wedding caterer!“

“Amazing family, I love this place!“

“Golfing, Venue and Dining.“

“The sausage and pepperoni pizza is outstanding and to top that, the garden salad is about the best around! The “small” is more than enough for 2 people. The prices here are surprisingly reasonable, as well. This place should be packed!“

“Dustin and I have not had a chance to go on one of our Date food adventures in a while. Well today we did just that. We went driving up Route 11 and ended up in Exeter at the American Grill. To say it was good was an understatement. First we had there Hot Honey Pretzel cheese Bites…. They we so very flavorful.

I had the Mushroom & Onion Swiss Burger. The burger was cooked perfectly medium like I like it. Dustin Got the Not So Patty Melt which is 2 sourdough grilled cheese for the buns. The burger in between was cooked perfectly as well.

Then we brought home a Quart of there American Gold Sauce..

Hands down will definitely go there again…“

“Great Food And Atmosphere“

“Went to lunch here with my mom during an extremely busy lunch time on weekend and it was still such a great experience. The staff were all so pleasant even though they were running around like crazy. They took a bit to get my tea and I didnt even mind but yet they gave us free cookies at the end of our meal just as an apology, which they didn't even need to do, I understood fully they were just busy. We will absolutely be back!!! Wonderful customer service, worth every penny.“

“A + service and food. The fresh unsweetened tea was delicious. I had three. My salad was stellar. We were a party of six and everyone enjoyed their food. The chocolate chip cookies were recommended and We know why!!! I will return for another one of these salads.“

“Rustic Kitchen truly lives up to its name with a warm, inviting atmosphere and food that feels like it was made with real care. The standout of the meal was without a doubt the chicken parm—absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and topped with rich, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese. Every bite was packed with comfort and authentic flavor.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Rustic Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, this is a must-order and easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! 🍽️🔥“

“There's something about that tray of traditional red that keeps us coming back for more. Add some often-rotating and very creative wing sauce varieties and it's sure to be a crowd pleaser. I know they're a local favorite, I know they have their devoted followers, but I really do feel like it's one of the more unique pizza offerings in our area. We got takeout and it was ready right on time. I hesitate to say it, but I mean it in the most delicious, addictive way; it's like a thinner, tastier, less stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth-ish Nardone’s style (in shape and feel), with a more complex cheese build. It's a hybrid tray/bar pie vibe, and you'll wonder how many cuts you can take before others do the math. My son ordered the cheesesteak; I had a hard time verbalizing ‘just steak and cheese’ but check that picture out, I think he's onto something. The wing sauces don't feel weighed down by butter or additives; they're bright, flavorful and unique blends that you can experiment with, since you can get orders as small as six bone-in wings. One of the sauces we tried was Szechuan orange, almost reminiscent of Asian duck; sweet and tangy with a little peppery zing, the boneless bites come SAUCED. I still prefer the regular wings. And it would be criminal not to mention Grandma Kelsey's Pizza, which might not adhere strictly to the Grandma lineage (whatever that is) but is certainly in my top 3 grandma pies locally; really incredible!“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere and great staff!!“

“best double cheeseburgers 🍔 ❤️❤️“

“Wonderful people, delicious food and good prices !“

“I've lived around the corner for a year, but never tried their place 'til last night. Got a pizza for my upstairs neighbor and myself to split. It's unique, and for 5$, you can't beat it. She and I (mostly me) almost ate the whole 12 cuts too!“

“Hope is the best & always knowledgeable“

“A huge thank you to Donna and her staff for another great event for us! This is the third time we’ve used Center City Cafe to cater a party and she did another amazing job. Everyone raved about the “build your own taco bar.” My favorite part was that Donna came to set up for us (every time), which took so much pressure off of us the morning of our event so we could concentrate on other things.“

“Was the best date night ever, amazing food and Ambience. Can’t wait to come back and bring my Parents to enjoy the rich tasty food. Oh and the dessert is heaven on earth. This is just like a high end NYC restaurant just for half price.“

“Stopped by for chili dogs after winning a giveaway contest through Facebook group, 100% recommend. Nice crisp in each bite & chili sauce was packed with flavor!“
