New American Restaurants near Media, PA

“We loved our evening at Departure! Our server was Maddie and she did an excellent job of guiding us through the menu. It was herd to choose! Our standout favorites were the ceviche, tuna with avocado on taro chips, and the lamb lollipops (oh my, such flavor!). My Woodpack sauv blanc was crisp and a bit flinty with a hint of peeled green grapes — so nice! My husband enjoyed a few hazy IPAs and then chose the Nutty Traveler from the drink menu — lovely! We ordered the tiramisu dip for dessert. Why have we been purposely sogging up the ladyfingers all these years? They’re just as delicious as crispy dippers, in both the tiramisu dip, and in the creamy dessert martini. I wish we lived nearby bao we could try some of the tacos and skewers and other dishes. Give it a try!“

“We hosted ~20 people from out of town for a team dinner and it was wonderful to have Dan & DiFabios help us have a space to mingle, eat & have drinks with everybody traveling out of town for marathon weekend we really wanted a space for just that. From accommodating our party (including kiddos) to the great service - we were so happy with the food, service & Dan helping us reserve the space!“

““We’re regulars at Brick and Brew because the food is great, the drinks are even better, and the atmosphere is always fun. But my most recent visit stood out for another reason: our server, Jamie.

I was there with a group of 8 friends celebrating a birthday, and Jamie was fantastic. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely pleasant the whole time. Good service can be hard to find these days, and Jamie was a true exception.

Thank you, Jamie, for making our birthday get-together so enjoyable. We’ll be back soon!”“

“We had my wife and her twin sister’s birthday party there with over 70 people. The event was well organized and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They were patient with our younger guests. Everyone said they had a great time. Thank You to Barnaby’s for a great job!!“

“Amazing staff, they were so friendly and helpful!! Their food was also exquisite! I’ve been 2 times and both time I’ve been absolutely impressed!! Highly recommend! Joanne was darling!!“

“This was my second visit to Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, and my first time experiencing their happy hour—and it did not disappoint. The menu had a great variety, and I enjoyed both the drinks and the pork bao buns.

A standout “happy accident” was ordering the pretzel rolls with truffle butter… absolutely amazing. That alone is worth coming back for.

The bartenders were attentive and provided great service throughout our visit. We also tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay for me—the mustard base was a bit too strong for my taste.

Overall, Ripplewood is a lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and nice outdoor seating in the back. It’s a great place for drinks, small bites, and a chill evening out.“

“I tried Dig Inn for the first time last week and I’m back already and to my surprise the food quality is consistent. Everything is fresh, hot, and doesn’t give that I’ve been sitting out all day vibe. They have an open kitchen concept so your can literally see your food being made. And shout out to Chef AJ; super pleasant, great hospitality and you can tell she knows he stuff.“

“Wanted to thank the wonderful waitress that waited on my daughter and her friends tonight for her Sweet 16. Sadly they forgot to ask her name but my oldest daughter said she was very sweet and all around great!!! They said the food was delicious. I appreciate the great service ❤️ 2/22/25 Wayne location“

“We had an evening out At The Table and did the tasting menu. It didn't disappoint. The food was amazing, my favorite was the scallop course. The only negative was a table of 6 near us who kept complaining. They arrived at the same time as us and also had the tasting menu. Our young daughter was more mature than this group of 60+yr olds. When the lamb entree came out they were convinced it wasn't lamb. It was lamb, and it was excellent. The whole idea of the tasting menu is to relax, take your time and have good conversations, entree at about 90mins and done in 2 hours. The waiter and chef were apologetic when they didn't need to be. I feel bad for them and wanted to post a review. Highly recommend the restaurant, awesome for a date night.“

“What a wonderful place for the whole family to enjoy a dinner together. Our daughter has Celiac, and most places have a few options for her, but this is finally a place with a full menu for her, including appetizers and desserts! They have a gluten free menu, but most of the food is prepared without gluten anyway, and everything was delicious! It was so nice to be able to share plates, appetizers and desserts with her! My son, who has no allergies, but is very picky, said it was the best mac and cheese he's ever had, and wanted more for dessert! The service was wonderful, and the staff was very friendly. I mentioned in my reservation that I am disabled and that we were celebrating 2 birthdays. There were 2 hand drawn birthday cards on the table when we arrived, and they sat us in a very accessible location. A delightful experience!“

“I tried the mozzarella as an appetizer and the Tenderloin for the meal. The mozzarella was very good. Between the peppers and topping that was a great was to start out. The Tenderloin was ok. The Gravy had a very good flavor but the meat itself i didn't think was that good. The mashed potatoes were nicely prepared and the asparagus was hot but still had a snap to them, which is just the way I like it. Add a nice bourbon to it all and it makes for a good meal. Cozy atmosphere to the place. Definitely worth checking out.“

“First visit to refurbished restaurant, celebrating our anniversary. The decor was very eye-pleasing. We had goat cheese gnocchi, shrimp cocktail, shrimp & lobster fried rice, and steak house. Food quality was excellent, although the gnocchi did not seem goat-ish. I especially liked the steak house - essentially a creatively deconstructed steak, potatoes, and wedge salad meal. Service was good enough to warrant a 25% tip. We got an early reservation time - 5:30 - and would recommend it, as the restaurant got completely full by 6:30.“

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“Pup friendly location with delicious menu!“

“Two Stones Pub brews and serves my favorite beer: Up and Out. A hazy IPA which never hurts me.

Their fish tacos are great. Their Hawaiian pork belly tacos are even better.

Great, creative specials.

Friendly regulars.

Hard to beat.“

“Third time back. Bestie had the Reidy burger that I recommended and Loved it. She said the fries were the best also...light and not greasy. I had the Shaved Dad... Pure delight. A shout out to our server Jean B! Friendly, professional and didn't hover. Will be back. Can't say enough about the food. Excellent flavors, prepared and presented with love!!!!“

“Celebrated a birthday dinner, and I couldn’t be happier with everything from the food to the service. The decor is also a giant plus 🩵🙏“

“One of the best restaurants in the Philadelphia area. The food is always consistently great and the staff is awesome.“

“WOW ..... What an AMAZING Experience!!! We ABSOLUTELY LOVE RIZE!!!“

“ymmmmmm food and we like it“

“Always excellent food! Family place, the girls are awesome…“

“Their pizza is absolutely delicious! But lastnight we ordered a large pepperoni & green pepper pizza & there was an insane amount of cheese on the pizza to where we couldn’t taste the pizza, tasted nothing but the cheese, they should put less cheese on there pizza, if u can’t do a lot of cheese definitely order your pizza with light cheese.“

“Love the vibe here, great local spot in a rustic 1700’s era building. Very good service from the staff. Phenomenal selection of beers on tap which was the main reason I found this place. It gets loud inside with the live music, though not overwhelming. I have to dink them on the menu though, not sure why they serve the pastrami sandwich chilled, just doesn’t seem right, and was a pretty low grade of pastrami. The fries were way oversalted. I’ll back, but will probably stick with drinks at the bar“

“Fantastic food and awesome service!“

“Best burgers in Delaware. Service is always exceptional.“

“Everything is fantastic time & time again!“

“Been here a few times. The atmosphere is really nice in an old bank location, with lots of tvs to see the football game, though you have to crane your neck a lot. The food is consistently good, nothing is ever off about the food so far. Little pricey for Delco, but worth an occasional night out.“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Antonia's Family Restaurant is a great spot. Parking my truck was easy at an end spot but other spots would have been difficult. They have a large menu that overwhelmed me so I chose the small cream chipped beef with home fries and a side of scrambled eggs and a coffee and water. Mrs U Do It ordered home fries and a bacon, egg, and cheese bael with a tea and water. The water tasted great (I mention this because some places the water could be better but this spot has great wooder). The cream chipped beef was AMAZING! And the coffee was perfect. Our waitress was pleasant and quick. Total bill was $28 not including tip. Antonia's Family Restaurant is U Do It Approved!“

“IDK how this place is in Ardmore. It's absolutely one of the best meals I had in my life.“

“Very comfortable spot to dine if you're staying at The Desmond or in the neighborhood. delicious entrees, friendly and attentive staff.“

“love the food Josie was awesome,Russ from KC be back soon thank you Josie gotta try a burger“

“I would like to recognize the outstanding service we received from Gina Picciano, the manager at Lola's Garden. From the very beginning, Gina went above and beyond to ensure my daughter's bridal shower was absolutely perfect—and it truly was. She reached out to me several times on her own to check in, answer questions, and reassure me that no matter what the weather brought, she would make sure we were accommodated, whether indoors or outdoors. Gina even gave me her personal cell phone number and told me to call her anytime if I needed anything. Every time I reached out, she responded immediately with professionalism, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm. She made me feel like no request was too much trouble. On the day of the event, Gina exceeded every expectation. She personally provided directions for unloading and arranged for her staff to help carry in all of my decorations. Her positive attitude never wavered. She never responded with "no" or "I can't." Instead, she focused on finding solutions and making everything work. Nearly 40 guests attended the shower, and so many of them commented on how beautiful and perfectly organized everything was. I honestly could not have pulled it off without Gina's support, guidance, and willingness to help every step of the way. Lola's Garden is fortunate to have someone like Gina Picciano leading your team. She is an exceptional manager, a true professional, and a tremendous asset to your restaurant. Employees like Gina are the reason customers return and enthusiastically recommend your establishment to others. Please accept my sincere gratitude and recognize Gina for the remarkable job she did. She helped make a very special day for our family one we will always remember.“

“A friend and I went to The Greeks to watch the Phillies game and one of the worker that was behind the bar were being RUDE to us. We were sitting at the bar and (not even) 4 minutes into the game. He come to us and said; if you guys going to sit here, you have to order, than he added, I’m being serious. My friend and I both know that, but he DID NOT have to be rude about it by adding “I’m serious” at the end of that statement. Before the game even started, I told the other worker that was behind the bar that I would order a few minutes into the game.“

“Best salmon in the county period!“

“Authentic Pennsylvania Dutch / Amish-style comfort food
Rebecca’s Dutch Kitchen is a hidden gem inside Booth’s Corner Farmers Market. The food is homemade, hearty, and full of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch flavor, just like real country cooking.
Everything tastes fresh and made with simple, quality ingredients. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—exactly what you expect from a traditional market kitchen.
If you’re looking for authentic, comforting, no-frills food that feels like it came straight from a family kitchen, this is the place. A must-stop when visiting Booth’s Corner. I’ll definitely be back.“

“It was VERY last minute. My family didn't have a location to celebrate my grandmother's home going celebration. Sophusion came through BIG time. We made last minute reservations for about 25. The food was outstanding, beautiful atmosphere. The two servers were awesome. It was my first time there for brunch...VERY well worth it. Glad that we decided on this location. My grandma would be proud.“

“This was a unique and amazing experience with exceptional customer service as well. The decor of the restaurant is an array of dog themed art and handicrafts and as soon as you walk in you are given a warm welcome and know you are in for a real treat. All of the food is delicious and I would definitely like to tryorw items on the menu in the future. There is a really nice outdoor seating area as well in warmer weather. I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“The owner and his wife was very accommodating and friendly, the food was outstanding it was very clean and have a great vibe is DEFINITELY my new go to spot. I pulled up there to meet my cousins and was very impressed a young black man doing great things is a must go to spot. It was the owners birthday and he was still in there working hard and it's also Byob“

“I was a little nervous given the mixed reviews, but was pleasantly surprised! I got the harvest bowl with tofu (rice, sweet potato, arugula, raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, dressing) and it was flavorful and felt healthy. $20 for a bowl isn’t great, but it’s probably healthier than the other food offered at the airport 🤷‍♀️ Updated from previous review on 2025-12-25“

“Csar salad and salmon were So good and my husband said the roast bee was great. The dressing was real CeSR dressing Md I loved it.“
