“I recently had a breakfast meeting at Common Grounds Café with other former board members of Manna on Main Street. The Café supports Manna’s free, 14-week “food service training to employment” program for the economically disadvantaged in our community. To begin, the food was exceptionally good, and plentiful. I and one of my dining partners both took home enough leftovers for another meal. (We both had oatmeal mixed with fruit and nuts.) Chef Lisa also accommodated all of my food concerns (a food allergy, and sodium limits.) However, the great food and service were only part of my reason for being so pleased with my meal. I also appreciated that my breakfast helped support the job training program, to help the trainees become qualified for food service jobs – my “second” meal that day. Finally, I had the opportunity to see the sophisticated pantry and market Manna operates, including software that makes it easier for those whom Manna serves to select their food quickly and efficiently – my “third meal”. A staff member with whom I had worked gave me a tour as a Board alumnus, showing pride in what Manna has accomplished at the North Penn Commons location since my Board term had ended in 2016, when North Penn Commons opened its doors. After I got home, I increased my charitable donation to Manna. I was very impressed not only by its excellent stewardship of financial donations, but also by how sophisticated it has become in distributing the food donated by supporters, to provide it to those in need in our community, “that all may be fed”. When North Penn Commons (the location of Common Grounds Café, and home to four nonprofits opened in 2016, I wrote (paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin) that “North Penn Commons has given Lansdale a community, ‘if we can keep it’”. After my meal and tour, 3 years later, I am pleased that my hopes have been satisfied.“
“Lovely spot to sit and take in the clever decor. I had a really tasty breakfast sandwich and a French Press coffee. There’s a nice little shop in the back with handmade ceramics, food items etc. I really want this place to succeed, because Lansdale needs this kind of quality.“
“We love to eat at Yangtze. Great food. Amazing service. Fair to Wonderful prices. Cute atmosphere. I’m not sure what else you could want.Dietary restrictions: My husband has Celiac Disease and they always take great care of him here. They have an easy to read gluten free menu, and they bring him gf soy sauce too. Wait staff and kitchen have been very careful to keep his food safe and we’ve eaten here many times over the years since his diagnosis.“
“The absolute BEST chinese food I have EVER had. We ordered from here once before and thought it was amazing. Ordered again tonight and can confirm this place is incredible. Their dumplings are out of this world and their general tso is the perfect amount of heat. New go-to place from here on out. Cannot recommend them enough! The restaurant is really cool as well and the staff is super friendly and sweet.“
“What a great, local spot! I’d never had Peruvian food and our server (Christina) was incredible in guiding us through each section of the menu and the food was out of this world! The yuca and causas limenas were amazing, and the specialty chicken entree was out of this world - just really, really great flavors. Don’t skip dessert! An incredible experience all around. I also have a shellfish allergy they were awesome with accommodating!“
“Tried Main Street Salad for the first time today after driving by it for months, and WOW! I'm so glad I did! I was recommended the chicken waldorf salad from employee Alex C (who was extremely kind and knowledgeable) and it was a huge portion size and extremely tasty! I would definitely recommend Main Street Salad to anyone looking for a great, healthy, lunch option! Thank you again to Alex for a great recommendation! Can't wait to come back.“
“It's a very decent restaurant and my first impression was good.The restaurant provides a chic ambience, and it's decorated nicely. It gives a crisp and clean atmosphere for it hasn't even been six months since it opened last year. Service rendered was very good. Our server was polite, charming and efficient. Our food came out from the kitchen fairly quickly after we placed our orders.As is often the case for me, I tried Pho Tai for my first visit to establish a baseline for the goodness of a Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, Pho Ngon was only just about average for me.Pho broth was very decent, but it wasn't the best. The beef was a little tough because it came out of the kitchen pretty much well-done. As for their Pad Thai... chicken was significantly under-flavored and had some texture issues per my wife.My pursuit for the best Pho in the area continues.Parking: There is ample parking space in this shopping center.“
“I had a gyro which I enjoyed. There are several types available but I had the gyro with beef. My dining companion had a cheesesteak and enjoyed it. She said that it was not as good as a Philadelphia cheesesteak but for the suburbs it's pretty good. We had lunch at 1 p.m. on a weekday and the table was immediately available. We were not rushed to leave even though they close at 2 p.m.. the food came quickly. The wait staff was attentive.“
“I usually don't write reviews. But I felt like I needed to for this. I haven't been to an Olive Garden in years but when I came to this location for the first time I felt like I was truly in one of the commercials. The staff was so nice! Our waiter, Maria was a gem! And the vibe and experience was so warm and family like. It's been a while since I felt this from any restaurant I've been to so I just wanted to appreciate this Olive garden location and staff.“
“Stopped it on game day to watch the EAGLES and catch a late lunch. The place was not crowded had a few locals. Bob the owner was great. He was working by himself but you wouldn't know it. Food was out fresh hot and surprisingly fast as well. If you enjoy good wings, let me tell you, get 'em. They were done perfectly and the Buffalo Garlic sauce, "Off The Chain". My son loved his honey BBQ wings as well. If your looking for a sports bar feel with family seating as well this place is a great choice.“
“Ordered takeout via the mobile app. Large order of bagels, spreads, and coffee tote. Order was ready very quickly. Had to wait for coffee tote (but that is normal). Staff was very friendly. Location is clean and plenty of space should you want to dine in. Nice atmosphere (even a little fireplace sitting area near the entrance).Good experience and will order from here again.Parking: Plenty of parking. Located in the Swede Square shopping center/area.Dietary restrictions: Ordered from mobile app and there are options to indicate any dietary restrictions that you have“
“I stopped in to grab a slice of pizza for my 6 yr old after a soccer game and realized I forgot my wallet and the apple cash wasn’t working for me! I apologized and went to leave and they gave my son the slice of pizza anyway ❤️ He declared it one of the best slices he ever had and it smelled delicious too. Thanks for your kindness, next time we are in the area we will be back!“
“Really great experience all around. The menu offered a wide selection of traditional Thai meals, each with a very slight modern twist. Portions were appropriate and prices were fair. Our server was excellent and had a great understanding of the menu. Plenty of parking in the back of the building. Worth a visit.“
