“I have been coming to PJW’s in Malvern essentially since it opened, often with long breaks in between visits when I am out of town. But no matter when I roll in, I am remembered and greeted warmly and enthusiastically by everyone on staff there, a-la Norm from “Cheers”! Often flying solo, I mostly sit at the bar, where the fantastic staff takes care of me with phenomenal warmth and humor each and every time. Rachel is the hardest working person whom I have ever beheld in any industry, multitasking flawlessly without ever breaking her smile and composure! Julianna, one of my favorite people encountered anywhere, personifies fun and friendliness, and I once witnessed her handle two separate wedding parties who rolled in without reservations stampede into the bar and all try to order. Served with aplomb; it was remarkable. Alyssa makes college football Saturdays wonderful for alums of far flung schools, and Emma and Shay keep great conversation flowing with the libations. The menu has reduced in size since the days of Covid, but what remains is delicious and dependable. If you are a salmon fan, you are going to love it here, and if you are an aficionado of smash burgers, get your snaps in! Good stuff! Management is great; they care about the patrons and also about the staff. Everyone seems happy and enthused at all times, day or night, and that makes for a special, relaxing, welcoming environment, for a ball game, a burger, or some booze. Great job, all of you!“

“Always very good! Still one of the best, if not the best in the western suburbs. Food rocks, beer selection is balanced and always on point!“

“Highly recommend Roots!! My smash burger was delicious, and the fries were great too. Our server, Arielle, was so friendly and an absolute pleasure!

We also love the ambiance; it has such a nice upscale American feel while still being comfortable and inviting. We had a great experience and will definitely be back regularly!“

“Great for a Sunday afternoon hang.“

“On New Year's Day we went to Brick & Brew in Malvern. Been there a few times before. Their Regular Menu food is so good. They had a special for New Year's Day. It was Pork & Sauerkraut with or without Dumplings, mashed potatoes with gravy, String Beans, A Complimentary Glass of Champaign, & for dessert it was a Pumpkin/Cream Cheese Mousse with Cream Cheese topping. It was so fantastic. I ended up taking some home, their portions sizes are large. All the people are so friendly. Can't wait to go back. If you want a nice evening with Good Food & Drinks, This is the place to go. Call to make a reservation. They do get packed.“

“Came here for a team lunch and the reservation process was super easy online. A little on the pricy side, but great food and atmosphere so well worth it. Excellent beer and liquor menu too, so we're going to have to come back for a happy hour soon!“
