Restaurants in Havertown

“Some places serve food. Others serve something deeper.

In a town like Havertown, where connection isn’t just a word but a way of life, Julian has quietly built something special. Not loud, not flashy, just intentional in all the right ways.

From the first bite, you feel it. Appetizers that are fresh, thoughtful, and honestly hard to ignore. Entrées that go beyond flavor and land somewhere closer to care. There’s a depth here that mirrors the community itself, subtle, refined, and rooted.

And the octopus? Perfectly prepared. The kind of dish you’d expect in a Michelin-star setting, yet somehow it feels even more meaningful here.

Because what sets this place apart isn’t just technique. It’s heart. Every flavor carries that unmistakable Havertown spirit, warm, connected, and built on something real.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s what happens when food meets community in its purest form.”

“Terrific experience and service, quality food!”

“Lovely, low key atmosphere, doting staff, entrees were just the right size. Perfect for date night!. Will be back again soon!”

“A hidden gem. Great for lunch or dinner. The menu is vast and the charsiu is just wonderful. "Special orders don't upset us. All we ask is that you let us serve it your way."”

“The blackened shrimp is our favorite by far but nothing we ordered let us down, it was all so delicious and flavorful. New favorite spot.”

“I have tried more than one smoothie and they are all delicious, filling, and healthy. It is a great family business with kind people. Looking forward to coming back!”

“Burrata in Havertown never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with specials.”

“Ordered takeout and the portions are very generous and food was delicious! They even put in some extra and could tell they packed the bag with thought and care with the handwritten note. My go to Asian takeout spot for both sushi and Chinese in Havertown”

“This place is great! I've been here many times, usually for lunch or dinner. Breakfast sandwiches are good too. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the presentation was spot on. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable.”

“We used Pepperoncini as the on-site catering for our wedding in Exton. Tom and his team did an AMAZING job! Our guests raved about the delicious food. The service by Tina and Alyssa at the event was exceptional. Tom worked with us to plan a day that we wanted. We would 100% recommend Pepperoncini for all of your catering needs. They took our event to the next level. The food is first-class all the way!”

“We absolutely love the Westgate Pub. We recently had my daughter's first holy communion party in their private room and it was spectacular. Our server was great, the food was delicious, and the party decor and planning was beautiful and out of this world. Sue goes above and beyond with her decorations at Westgate. They treat you like family and they are our favorite local restaurant hands down. Highly recommend for events, lunch/dinner, or casual drinks at the bar! Thank you Westgate!!!”

“This place is literal fire! Been living in the general area since 2019 and it’s been such a struggle to find decent sushi. Their sushi is super fresh and delicious! Not a single bad thing to say!”

“wonderful staff, Colombes coffee great food.”

“takeaway pizza, calzone, cheese steak etc - excellent cheese calzone & cheese steak with mushrooms, good cheese pizza. friendly very helpful counter service... well worth the 15 minute drive from daughters Drexel Hill apartment”

“Kettle is a great atmosphere and even better food.”

“Just had dinner / drinks at Manoa Tavern tonight. Our server was Ava and she was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent! We will be back!”

“Really have enjoyed both the Detroit style and Neapolitan style pizzas from here. Highly recommend! My only comment would be that when picking up (not eating in or getting delivery), I don’t like being expected to pay a tip. A tip is for service beyond the kitchen, while the bill should include everything else.”

“awesome awesome awesome!!! great food!!! sandwiches were amazing!!!”

“We were there last Wednesday night and our dinner was delicious! We will definitely be going back!”

“Ordered up some Mexipizza wings for a party over the weekend. Totally enjoyed them. I’ll be back for more!”

“Great atmosphere and great people.”

“Fresh, delicious, big servings. Fabulous!!!”

“Sorry I didn't have any food. But a great little corner bar. Old time stuff. Just a place to go in and have a couple drinks. And pick up on the occasional conversation, which can get very interesting. Great bartender will make what you ask him to.
Please do not pass on good information about this place. I don't want anybody else finding out about it.
If you're lucky you can run into the psychologist that I ran into, and get a session for the price of a couple drinks.

Parking: The later in the evening the better. Meters on both sides of the street. Went at 10:00 p.m. had the whole street to myself.”

“I have ordered the avocado grilled cheese multiple times in the past few months. It’s delicious every time. The avocado is always ripe and it’s stacked with bacon and ham. My new favorite sandwich.”

“One of favorite bars in Havertown! The service here is fantastic here i miss this place i may visit in June definitely stopping by.”

“10/10 most delicious hibachi!”

“I met a friend here for lunch almost a year ago and I can't stop coming back! The food has always been made well and the employees have always been really nice. I will gladly continue to support!”

“Good coffee and very super nice”

“Lots of potential, but the latte was a bit weakly flavored. Now that I'm reading other reviews I am seeing that they do not pull fresh espresso shots and that would explain it. I would still come back if I were in the area.”

“Love having supper here with my mom! The staff is great, too!”

“Shared the street corn queso and deviled eggs were delicious but the highlight of my meal was the chicken and waffles! Who knew cornbread waffles would be so great!?”

“Made a return trip today and enjoyed the food even more than the first time. My friend had the loaded nachos which were mouth watering. We shared cheese quesadilla which were loaded and delicious. One pork tamale tasted so great we added a chicken tamale! I want to be adopted by the chef!!! Highly recommend a visit there. Plenty of free parking, immaculate rest rooms and restaurant is clean and cheerful. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Prices excellent. You won't be disappointed.”

“Yesterday my family and I got chicken pad Thai and vegetable pad Thai. It was so delicious. My kids even ate it and they eat next to nothing. But, the macrons were the real star of the show. 😀👍”

“Love the Shuffle! and the regulars. Reminds me of Cheers!”

“Food was absolutely delicious. Great place, friendly staff, and awesome food😁”

“Excellent menu, huge portions, amazing service and so reasonably priced!”

“The food is always delicious and the owner is an absolute stud. I highly recommend for parties or individual orders. The pizze is amazing and the staff is always top notch! I highly recommend!”

“I've of course heard of Nudy's for awhile but this was my first time trying it. I went for Breakfast. It was great! I had the farmer's omelette with cheese. It came with hash browns, and I chose rye toast and added a coffee. Service was very good, both waitresses were smiling, positive, and engaging. Food came out fairly quickly and was delicious. Zero complaints. I actually told our waitress at the end, it's kind of unfortunate this place seems to have quite a few not-so-great reviews. It almost gave me pause when choosing to come here for a breakfast meeting but I am glad I ignored the naysayers. Granted, I didn't try everything on the menu, nor have I come here for lunch and dinner. But without a doubt, the breakfast is top notch. I will be back!”

“love the pizza , cheese steaks , love the strombolis!! killer wings !best hand tossed pizza in all Delaware county!”

“I ordered a Cheesteak with fried onions, Sweets & extra Provlone with a classic non-seeded roll & it was one of the best I ever had. When I walked in for my takeout I was overwhelmed by there selection of traditional & out of the box slices they offered that almost wished I came in for Pizza but that cheesesteak didn't dissapoint. I highly recommend this spot on the corner in Havertown P.A.”

“Highly recommend. The food is delicious. Called it in and easy pickup for takeout with covid safety measures in place (no dine-in at the moment). Pre-covid, we enjoyed dining in. One of favorite local restaurants!”

“great options. Very delicious. Inexpensive. I recommend that everyone eats here. Just ordered today and it was just as good takeout as dining at the restaurant”

“Tasty food service with smile as always, I love ❤️ coffee 👍🏻👍🏻”

“Incredible staff, who work hard to know both your name and drink. Especially Sally, Amaia, John, Brigit, and Jimbo. It is clear they really like their customers. Give them all a raise for always going the extra mile. Mary Beth”
