50 Best American Restaurants near Ivyland

“The food is good and service as well. But sitting in the bar is too loud. Clearly caters to the golf members and no regard for people who come to dine and are not golfers. The main dining room looks like a banquet hall. All rounds tables and no ambiance at all. They are open to the public for dinning and they need to cater to those ppl too. Happy hour is from3-5? Ppl are at work during those hours and only golfers hanging out can take advantage of those crazy hours. Most restaurants and bars offer happy hour 5-7. Seems they don't want to extend happy hour to too many ppl to take advantage of it.“

“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!“

“Great food and great service! Emily was our waitress she was excellent!!!“

“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.“

“Fuí por primera vez y ordené un farm omelette… Estaba todo muy bien elaborado y fresco, fué rápido y buen precio; Las chicas muy amables! Recomendable!“

“We were 7 people and the waitress wouldn’t divide the bill. We have to calculate our orders and the taxes. Then write down our card info with the amount we each owe. I am sure she could have done it but she said it’s the restaurant policy!!“

“Experience was outstanding! Texas bbq burger was absolutely delicious. My server, Hailey, was sweet and super cool. Manager Ms. Michelle was really welcoming and accommodating with our large party. I’m so grateful and will definitely be returning! Be sure to look out for their grand reopening coming soon!!!!“

“Simply Delicious by Tina...should be called SUPER Delicious by Tina! Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day...and now I know where to go to totally enjoy the people, their friendliness, and the best breakfast. Thank YOU Chef Tina for your wonderful work and amazing menu :-)“

“Everything was absolutely amazing. Our server was Deb she was absolutely wonderful. Gerald the manager was fantastic as well. He was walking around checking on all the tables making sure everything came out right. The food was delicious, the service was great. Was a great experience, will be going back and will be asking for Deb!“

“Abby was our waitress and she was wonderful! Food was delicious, also, Gluten-free meal was delicious for my hubby.“

“absolutely delicious and will continue to return for the Guinness oysters, sunchoke soup, and dragon's blood mocktail. Our second time leaving full and very happy.“

“Been awhile since I visited last, probably 2 years. Menu really changed, we ordered the Ashland chicken sandwich and the bone in pork chop entree and it was sooooo good! The staff were very personable, Will, Chris, Natalie and Sean were fantastic, attentive, timely in a good way. We didn't wait when we needed refreshments. Definitely would recommend to my friends, and will return soon.“

“Had dinner tonight.. Edamame ham soup was delicious! Cauliflower steak with pesto, corn and tomato was literally outstanding. Reasonable pricing for glasses of wine. David was a great and fun waiter 😊😊😊😊“

“Classic, delicious and quick service“

“Great lunch! Our waitress was marvelous!“

“I just ate the most delicious cheesesteak I've had in years courtesy of State Street Kitchen. It was literally perfect. The ingredients were fresh and tasty and there wasn't any possible way it could have been improved. A privilege.“

“The food options are fantastic. The burgers have flame grilled flavor with hearty bacon. The chicken strips are impressive and consistently large and flavorful. Much better option than Cane's in my opinion. The family enjoys the fried rice ranking higher than several Asian restaurants in the same area. Beyond protein choice, cannot customize ingredients- example, no onions. When I arrive the location is empty, no line, yet feel rushed to transact in 10 seconds. Learn from other restaurants and customers so business may grow.“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Sat, 11/12/22–what a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had muscles for our appetizer that were fresh and very tasty. We each had different entrees, one the salmon dish and the other chicken—both were amazing, with each of us saying we’d order our meal again or try the other one next time. Then dessert: one had the s’mores dessert and the other the chocolate bread pudding—we didn’t think we’d have room, but we made room, because both were excellent! Plus the chef said he’d be changing the menu every week—we can’t wait to go back!“

“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..“

“Great Food, Excellent Service from the Sister Act: Tina & Angie.“

“This is the best sandwich shop in the Philly area. It’s attached to the Home Depot store n Bustleton ave. It’s hard to believe there isn’t a line out the door. I believe it’s due to the large Ukrainian population in the area.“

“Food was good. Atmosphere was nice for a visiting out-of-state police officer. Company stor offers a lot of Philly PD swag. Very "safe" environment. Will visit again the next time in town. Recommended for LEOs to add it to your list if in the area.“

“We LOVE Penn Taproom. Nick, Alby, Gabby, Carley, Payton, Paige, Megan, Faith, Adam and the entire staff are very fast and friendly. Many beers in tap and countless cocktail options. The food is elevated bar food. Famous Smash burgers, the soft pretzels with cheese dip, Ahi Tuna, rice bowls, tacos, taco salads, weekly specials, this food choices are endless and very good quality. Come with your friends, catch a game, dance with the juke box or just sit in their large, open air garden or grab a table at this large open window bar.“

“My wife and I dined at the Trevor’s location on 8 April at approximately 6:28 P.M. Our waitress was Dzianna H. She was very courteous and responsive to our request and very knowledgeable about the menu. She should be commended for being a valuable member to the Crackerbarrel family. It is very refreshing to have customer service and an employee with such a positive attitude. Hope to have her as our server again. Stan & Linda“

“To gain a great reputation in the food industry is quite difficult, but I will say that our review here couldn't be any better. Food, service, staff, friendliness, all wrapped up in the Eagle Diner. Zisi is a great host, fine service, great staff, terrific food. You simply couldn't ask for anything more in a diner. Five stars here!“

“Good Service ❗Good Service ❗“

“Truly cannot overstate the excellence that is Newbolds. Every time I’ve dined, whether in house or takeout, it has been exceptional. The service, impeccable! The cocktails, divine! And the food menu always has some new creation that’s impossible not to enjoy. 10/10 recommend Newbolds for an a around dining experience.“

“My friends and I go to karaoke almost every Sunday. We always have a good time?drinks are reasonably priced, and the other patrons are usually super friendly.We love the staff, we love Rick the regular DJ and we never feel unsafe at this bar. The regulars welcome new comers very easily ?✨️? and everyone gets a chance to sing as long as Rick is In charge of the roster.The bartender is a stand up guy too. This passed Sunday, closer to 2am, (6/19) a belligerent drunk started to say all sorts of ugly things about the LGBTQIA+ and black people. As soon as the bartender was made aware, he quickly told that "man" and his friends to get out.The regular DJ, Rick is currently on his vacation and his fill-in apparently shares the opinion of the disgusting bigot, my friends heard him say "I don't care about all that juneteenth stuff, I just don't want *them* near my car."I don't know who this dj thought his audience was, but that kind of comment is not appreciated. I trust the regular staff, and I do hope they hear enough feed back about this, and can set up a new replacement for when their regular DJ is unavailable. :( dunno if I can go to karaoke when Rick isn't there?Happy Juneteenth and Pride Month?✊?? ??️‍⚧️?️‍??✨️“

“great service especially Caitlyn our waitress, food was amazing as well“

“Myself and three friends had come in to eat dinner and decided to sit at the bar. It was a very busy Saturday evening and yet we loved our meal [as always] but it seemed extra special this time because we had a terrific server named Allison who told us she was new there. You would never have guessed that by the way she handled herself. We were served our meal just as we requested and our drinks were always refilled without us having to ask. She made our experience better then we ever had before. We then came back the next week and we were told she was gone. She told us she loved working at your restaurant and to be honest she made our night the best time we ever had there. We are going to find out where she is now. Do you know? She is the type of bar server that we would follow. I can not imagine why she would leave a place that she was so happy at. We also heard a few other patrons mention her name and had specifically come into Tony's just because she worked there and leave because she was not there. Big loss to your establishment! Food and drink is important, but the server can make you want to eat at a restaurant or make you never want to come back. Dr. Kasser and Friends“

“The To Go experience is the best around. Our food was piping hot and made exactly on time for pick up.“

“We had our Neshaminy HS Class of 1975, 50th Reunion here at Maggio's on 10/4/25.\nSam Schubert, the owner, was a fantastic person to work with. Our contract was signed in October of 2024. The food was fantastic, the ballroom was gorgeous. We chose the Rose Wedding Package for 5 hours of delicious food, butlered hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, lavish sweet table and so much more. The waitstaff did an excellent job as well as the Bartenders. The centerpieces, by Domenic Graziano Flowers were unmatched, beautifully arranged and won by one of our guests at each table. We had terrific communications throughout the entire planning process, even to the end with payment, service and clean up. What a task with 200 guests and since it was my personal, third event here at Maggio's, I knew we'd be blessed beyond measure.“
