50 Best American Restaurants near Ridley Park

“I’d like to Thank the Stinger’s staff and management for a wonderful dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their food. They accommodated my party of 15 very well. Our server Steve was very pleasant and he made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you again.“

“Gabby (Gabrielle) was our waitress and she was awesome and amazing. She popped in to make sure we had enough drinks and made sure our food was good. When the cook made a mistake, and the server brought that had brought out our food realized there was an issue, Gabby just appeared and took care of it. She was fantastic. The Cracker Barell looks like the old ones, which I am grateful for. I am from TN and this was my first visit to PA. I wanted some Southern food and the food was excellent and close to like I have at home. Decent atmosphere and clean restrooms too. but the checking out and line to get a table was long. Only one person at register (once the line was gone, 2 more cashiers appeared), and only one person at the hostess stand in the prime after-church crowd, so that sucked. Overall, good place to stop at. Just not a "quick" stop“

“Simply Superb !! WoW it has been about 8 years since I was here last and wondered has it changed at all. Much to my surprise everything still great! The foods, ambience and service is unmatched in Delaware County. I am Thank-FULL they are here with us! ENJOY !!“

“had a really nice pie before going to comic con, really enjoyed to munch on that cheesy cheese and doughy dough. seriously a 10/10 pizza, lookin forward to trying the inside outs soon. off to save the world from thanos next!“

“atmosphere, service, food-all incredible. Heck I ate here when I was visiting Philly and the meal was so inspiring I moved here. None of this fake trained service, no obnoxiously complicated explanations of the chef or the food, just genuinely kind people serving genuinely good food that doesn’t hide behind any smoke and mirrors. If you haven’t had an amazing time here it’s probably cause you’re not much fun to begin with. Get here, order one of everything, enjoy it, you’ll fall in love.“

“Had the Cheesesteak pizza tavern style which is our go to. We get this quite often and it’s delicious every time. I wish I had a picture but I’ll add next time because I’m sure we’ll have it again shortly“

“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.“

“My server Rob was AMAZING! I have never laughed so much at a restaurant before. He truly knows how to brighten the spirits even on a bad day. I hope to get this server every time I come because I know I’ll have a great time. I could literally sit in apple bees day if he was my server! 10/10! Exceptional.“

“I made reservations for Harry Potter High Tea in April. They promoted it until mid summer. Had reservation for today June 21st for special Birthday. Ridley House took down all Harry Potter stuff, the restaurant was empty. We were seated in baron area with only one other table. The table tops were really beat up as was a lot of fixtures. High Tea was promoted with 3 tiers of food but what my SIL got was so sparse and a joke for $35. Over priced, underwhelming decor and just horrible! We will not be back! Stingers here we come!!“

“We had our daughter’s bridal shower there last weekend , the Wait Staff and Food were AMAZING !!!! We highly recommend for all your special occasions !!!!!“

“I'm so late with this review, I know this, but I had to let you know what a wonderful job you all did on Superbowl Sunday. Food was great, ambience was chill and lively at the same time, but the service is what really stood out! I sat at the bar, and my bartenders were Monae and Aliyah (spell check), they were so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! That's not always easy to come by in bar/restaurants these days, but those ladies nailed it! Thank you for a wonderful time!“

“I ordered lunch for my family, for take out. One item was loaded potato puffs. They came with a very small drizzle of sour cream and a few small pieces of bacon. most were dry and plain. Very frustrating as this was my husbands only food he ordered and will be eating 😔“

“In town for work at Logan Township, New Jersey from Indianapolis. Was recommended this place based off the food and atmosphere. The food was delicious and atmosphere did not disappoint. All the workers were super friendly and made it overall a great experience. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in New Jersey for work.“

“Great music, food and atmosphere! Tvs are set in place so you can watch your favorite sport that's playing live!“

“We were looking for a restaurant near CHOP after an appointment and White Dog Cafe came highly recommended by several people we know. Being a brief, 4 block walk, we decided to check it out on a beautiful May evening. It did not disappoint! Stunning architecture and adorable doggie related decor coupled with the farm to table quality food that was evident in everything we tasted made it a big win. We will definitely go again!“

“Management and staff have always been friendly and professional when I been at the bar to eat and watch the sports on the TVs. They remember me and take good care of me when I am there.“

“Amazing pizza. I will definitely go there again.“

“Wow what a great place! Great atmosphere, good food & the best beer on tap!! Highly recommended!“

“ALWAYS get a delicious sandwich“

“My mom comes every two weeks and the last two weeks I decided to join her. We stop at each individual shop so I could check everything out. We always enjoy anything we ever buy from the Amish Market. I could not recommend them more. From their produce, to meat, to salad bar, wine and even their milkshakes will make you keep coming back for more!“

“great burger, very tasty!“

“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.“

“Food was awesome. Cold drinks. Friendly people. Wife had a huge cheese steak that she couldn’t finish and I had a meatball parm that was very tasty“

“I have been a customer for a very long time they have a sign it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice, the sign is what made me a repeat customer 🙂“

“My husband and I go every Monday. Great food and great service every time! Today our server today was Rey. Always does a great job and is so friendly!!“

“I had a serious craving for a fried fish sandwich. The cute little couple operating the diner were so sweet and hospitable. My sandwich was delicious! Sure wish they would accept cards, but I didn't mind going to get cash. The fish was fresh, fried to perfection, and it was just a nostalgic memorie of old school diners. Definitely will go back.“

“I highly recommend Mission BBQ to everyone I know. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious ? I stopped in at the Springfield PA. location late Mon. Evening and the staff was wonderful. They are always great, very friendly. They really seem to enjoy their jobs. They have good management and training something that you don't see much anymore. They are all winners. Five stars all the way.“

“Very friendly staff. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. Enjoyed! Doug Cocking. :-)“

“Leeana super sweet Gave me birthday pancakes“

“Drove by Springfield Ale House a bunch of times before ever going in. We have been there twice in the last few weeks and I could kick myself for waiting so long to go in. Can’t wait to go back. Good selection of beers on tap and some excellent cocktails as well as a great food menu.“

“Angie is absolutely the best . The most relatable , sweetest server I’ve ever had . She knows when to come and knows when to give space as well . Usually when I am dining at apple bees I feel irritated because my water doesn’t get refilled on time or someone is constantly coming every second while I am mid conversation . Angie came at the perfect times , was extremely attentive and all this whole time she’s managing multiple tables . I was truly amazed by her customer service !“

“Do not, I repeat, do not sleep on this place!!! Oh my goodness gracious!! Me and my husband just had dinner here and I can’t say enough great things about the food, drinks, atmosphere, service!! Hubs has the ribeye special and let me tell you, thins thing was the size of his face!! He’s got a large face!! Came with mashed potatoes and fresh steamed green beans, he gave it a 15 out of 10!!
I had the simplest of all things, cheeseburger and fries, don’t judge! This burger was no less than a half pound of juicy, delicious and well cooked beef! Not that frozen patty crap either, FRESH ground beef, made to order and piping hot!!
The drink selection was plentiful and just as yummy!! Vodka cran for me and IPAs for the hubs.
Live music capped off the evening from a very tale talented guy with a guitar.
Add this to your list!! You will not be disappointed!!“

“Mrs. Monique provided amazing customer service at Wonder. She was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Her positive attitude and attention to customers made the experience stand out, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work. Employees like Mrs. Monique are the reason customers keep coming back she is a true pleasure to the Wonder experience.“

“Today I stopped at The Hungry A. I have driven buy there many times. As I walked in the owners and people in there all greeted me like they know me. I had a coffee and it was one of the best I ever had. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will be be back. But what really got to me I walk with a cane and one of the girls there saw I was having a hard time she came around the counter and took what I was carrying and helped me to my car. Today there are not many people that are kind as she was. It made me know that there is still kind people in this world. If every would take the time to be kind to someone just once maybe it could be a start to make this world just a little better“

“these pancakes are seriously the best in town. after not being able to eat for 10 days because of my training, having this stack of pancakes felt better than acting as black adam. looking forward to going here again and eating 20 more. #timetoworkout #wegonrumble #wegontakeurfaceoff“

“Outstanding dinner.

Everything we ordered was exceptionally tasty.

The fritters were delicious. The Striped Bass in coconut curry was superb. The broccoli cheddar quiche was excellent. And the carrot soup was great.“

“Food was so amazing. Tasted super fresh and delicious. Chicken actually had amazing flavor not just dumped with sauce. Also I preferred the smash burger from the menu and I can say they know what they’re doing. Will be back a lot more for a lot more.“

“This place used to be my favorite but it’s gone down since I first started coming at least ten years ago. It took us almost 20 mins to get cashed out and even longer to get a drink from the bar. They didn’t have wings the last time I went and the back bar was closed. They need a Philly School District Calendar to add extra staff when there will be an early dismissal“

“This is the 3rd time I have been to local 44 for brunch. We ordered the brussel sprouts, west philly breakfast (sub scrambled eggs), brunch burger. Very tasty - loved the fluffy eggs!
Great service from our server and server-in-training!
Will always return for brunch here“
