50 Best American Restaurants near Haverford

“Yeah, it’s a little pricey but wow, the food tastes incredible. It was worth the cost. Even just a simple salad has flavors that I had not experience before. They must be getting their tomatoes from some Mr Green Jeans garden because they tasted like I expect them to taste on television. Everything had complex flavors and was very fresh and very delicious. The atmosphere felt like my artistic grandmother’s living room but we got it. They want you to feel like you’re at home while eating some Michelin chef-level food. For us modest heshers on a budget, this is only to be a special treat, but if I make it in the music business, I’ll eat here every day. It’s that delicious. It was my partner’s birthday and they gave her a free piece of cake and it was scrumptious just like everything else. Make reservations because it’s always busy. We waited 45 minutes for our food, but it wasn’t a bad place to wait and the food was worth it. It’s also dog friendly and people love to eat outside with their pooches. I also have celiac disease and after explaining to the waitress about cross-contamination, she was extremely careful and I had a salad and was not affected. That’s very rare for me, but it gives you an idea of the level of service. Top Notch!“

“Awesome food and excellent service I had a pasta night special!
kale & ricotta gnocchi, marinara, fennel, serrano jamon, broccolini comes w/ garlic bread & side caesar salad which was amazing. I highly recommend this place“

“Delicious!!! My friends and I were so excited to try Bar Jawn, especially since we’ve loved Pizza Jawn for a long time! The food and drinks were all fabulous - Bar Jawn has a chill, relaxed atmosphere but boasts an elevated bar menu that is so much more and so far beyond typical bar food! Some of our favorites were the drunken ravioli, the buffalo arancini (so inventive!!!), the chicken parm (make sure you get it with ravioli!), the mozzarella triangles (mozz sticks with an upgrade!) and the eggplant stack! So excited to come back as the menu changes and try even more awesome options! Thank you, Bar Jawn!“

“We had such a fantastic experience at Illata in Philadelphia! From start to finish, everything felt special, and a big part of that was our amazing waitress, Mary — she was attentive, warm, and really elevated the whole evening with her thoughtful service.

The menu offered some unexpected surprises, and the standout for us was the carrot dish. It was hands down the highlight of the night — it almost felt like a savory take on carrot cake, rich and flavorful in the most delightful way. The trout was a pleasant surprise too; it leaned more toward the texture and richness of salmon, and honestly, it was one of the best fish dishes we’ve had in a while.

And we can’t forget the desserts — they absolutely blew us away. The rhubarb tart was perfectly balanced, and the chocolate cake was decadent without being too heavy. A perfect ending to a memorable meal!

We’ll definitely be back — already booked our next reservation.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Had dinner at Bar Sera for the first time in 2023-06-16 for a 7pm reservation. We got seated right away, not waiting at all. All our drinks and food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. We had the best server named Rachel. She had many tables but still was amazing, very attentive and would engage in conversation with us as. She made the dining experience so much better than any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The food overall was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you can, ask for Rachel, she won’t disappoint.“

“I made reservations for Harry Potter High Tea in April. They promoted it until mid summer. Had reservation for today June 21st for special Birthday. Ridley House took down all Harry Potter stuff, the restaurant was empty. We were seated in baron area with only one other table. The table tops were really beat up as was a lot of fixtures. High Tea was promoted with 3 tiers of food but what my SIL got was so sparse and a joke for $35. Over priced, underwhelming decor and just horrible! We will not be back! Stingers here we come!!“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“The cauliflower with hot sauce was delightful as an appetizer. The Mediterranean burger was nice but not as flavorful as I had hoped. The fries that came with it were done to perfection though. The beers on tap selection was smallish but a good variety of styles. Very clean place and the staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions.“

“We had a small party at Riverwinds on Saturday night. The food was excellent. However, the dessert package is a total ripoff! There was a plate of small desserts ( 1”square pieces of cake, 2 “ eclairs, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a tiny cannoli. There were not even enough for everyone to take one! When I asked for more the waitress said I should go to another table and see if they had anything! 😡😳 Definitely not worth $10 a person! RIPOFF!“

“First time here and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious, I must admit and the service was great. Only went for a quick bite while out running errands so can't speak on the night life. I would definitely consider patronizing this establishment again to try something else on the menu.“

“I really like the vibe in this place. I was very surprised to walk in and see mostly folks in there. I did find it odd that they had security, but i have only been here once so I don't know how wild it gets. They had karaoke going on which drew in a large crowd. Would go again to try out the food“

“I ordered lunch for my family, for take out. One item was loaded potato puffs. They came with a very small drizzle of sour cream and a few small pieces of bacon. most were dry and plain. Very frustrating as this was my husbands only food he ordered and will be eating 😔“

“Food was awesome. Cold drinks. Friendly people. Wife had a huge cheese steak that she couldn’t finish and I had a meatball parm that was very tasty“

“Drove by Springfield Ale House a bunch of times before ever going in. We have been there twice in the last few weeks and I could kick myself for waiting so long to go in. Can’t wait to go back. Good selection of beers on tap and some excellent cocktails as well as a great food menu.“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“Exactly what I wanted. Salt and Stone should be worth a stop if you are in Conshy for the cocktails and the burger. Wonderfully sized and priced. Cocktail with the mobile smoke was fun.

Only one thought - the burger was so big - it was hard to eat with the bun.“

“Melissa is an amazing class act host the wings are awesome as u am sure all the food is she cares you can feel and see it everyone is friendly great job!!! 5 stars for sure“

“Lovely mom and pop diner. The food is great and is owned by a family. Only complaint is the booth seats are pretty rough, and also arent the most comfortable to sit on. Otherwise i would advise checking out this local diner for breakfast. Cash only here“
