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“

“We just moved to Ridley Park this past year and have been meaning to hop in the car and give Casey’s a try! So glad that we did! Walking in on a Thursday evening The downstairs bar and pub had people surrounding the bar area. There is plenty of space and high top tables in the pub section with music playing at just the right volume. Pub was clean, menus are fantastic with a large variety of items to choose from. On a dreary and cold day, we opted for lots of comfort foods and we were not disappointed! The food is served, piping hot, and delicious, and they have a lot of their own signature dishes here to tempt your tastebuds. There is an upstairs full service restaurant. We have not gone in to try it out yet, but we really loved the pub and bar section. There is a ton of parking there you’ll never not have a parking spot- our bartender was our waitress and she hustled and did a great job taking care of us. We will be back and very soon and most likely will bring a few family members to try it out too!“

“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!“

“We have been wanting to go here for a while and finally snagged a reservation for my birthday! It is worth all the hype and accolades. We ordered 6 plates and it was the perfect amount. The mussels are perfection, I could eat those everyday. The cavatelli - superb! Honesty, it was all amazing. The staff is so warm, welcoming and personable too. We can’t wait to go back!“

“This place is such a great spot for any occasion, such great food and an amazing vibe, great for a stop in when you’re strolling down main st! Owner is awesome too, helped me shovel my car out when in was stuck in the street, if that isn’t customer service then I don’t know what is!“

“So I thought I was walking into Sweet Green as it was next door and wasn’t paying attention. I ordered a hot honey chicken bowl my go to. Turns out Dig Inn had their own version. Until she made it I was thinking to myself that isn’t what I ordered to figure out I was in the wrong place.
Instead of being mad at myself I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised and was not disappointed that I made the wrong turn!
Chef Twee(I think that’s her name) is awesome and I will definitely come back!

Great job y’all!“

“Came here for my first time. It was pretty late but service was good, they have great late night specials. I ordered the chicken wonton appetizers and loved it. For my daughter she got the kids chicken Alfredo and loved it. My entire were the ribs and string beans. The string beans were great the ribs were dry and the sauce was overpowering.“

“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!!“

“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“I recommend especially the University of Pennsylvania Sabrina location The view is so nice is Windows all around it's well lit the staff is so extraordinary the food is fantastic and it comes out fast the place is clean it was not hard to find a parking spot I give this place five stars“

“The chicken parmigiana at The New American Bistro is by far the best I’ve ever had anywhere! Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a small party at Riverwinds on Saturday night. The food was excellent. However, the dessert package is a total ripoff! There was a plate of small desserts ( 1”square pieces of cake, 2 “ eclairs, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a tiny cannoli. There were not even enough for everyone to take one! When I asked for more the waitress said I should go to another table and see if they had anything! 😡😳 Definitely not worth $10 a person! RIPOFF!“

“Great server Sophia was pleasant , had wonderful recommendations for appetizers, entrees & suggested some delicious desserts as well . We took her suggestions & enjoyed our flavorful dishes. The atmosphere was unique & each room was interesting & different. Told lots of friends to stop ✋ by & enjoy your tasty & flavorful farm to table dishes . Great time & superb delicious meals !“

“Great food and great price. Such large portions and friendly people. The owner is so nice. Clean place too“

“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.“

“Delicious food. Awesome pancakes and gluten-free options. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoy our visits here.“

“ALWAYS get a delicious sandwich“

“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 🙂“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“great burger, very tasty!“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“A must-visit anytime we’re in West Philly. Or U City. Truly a timeless gem!“

“Everything is great! From the bar to the appetizer's To the servers! The food is out of this world!! Highly recommend it!“

“When I came in, I was lucky to have Gianna as my server not only amazing and polite, but she was very personable making great recommendations and making my dining experience amazing. Not only will I be back for the food, but most definitely will be back for the excellent service.“

“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 😔“

“Tasty perfectly prepared food, Awesome service, Friendly owners. If you are in the Aston Pa area, I would highly recommend them.“

“Me and my husband wait all year for dollar margaritas lol so we stopped by Aston Applebee's and Randy was our bartender he was absolutely amazing. He's so attentive and funny we love visiting him while he's on shift he never skips a beat❤️“

“My first time at this restaurant and will definitely be back! Super interesting menu!! I had scallops on top of spaghetti squash with sweet potatoes ...really amazing! Our server was very attentive.“

“This is a regular meeting place with friends. Its location and the availability of parking are important. However, it is the food, ambiance and service that keep us coming back. The dining areas are comfortable and perfect for conversation among friends. The staff is always very helpful in assisting us in making choices. They provide helpful information and are solicitous, yet non-intrusive. The menu is varied and interesting. The staff provides helpful information as we make our choices and they check on us appropriately. I have nothing but good things to say about White Dog!“

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

“Food is delicious! Get the watermelon salad, fried chicken and banana cream pie.“

“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“

“The last 2 times I have been here, the food has been so fantastic! I got the potato crusted cod. So good! Came with rice and asparagus. It was more warm than hot was the only negative but that didn't effect the taste! Also got corn bread appetizer and mozzarella wedge appetizer both of which were very good. Service is always wonderful here and it's so beautiful with all the holiday decorations!“

“Overall we enjoyed our lunch at Stir with 3 of the 5 dishes being excellent, 1 good, and 1 a dud. The mushroom toast my wife got as a starter was excellent as was her sea trout and my pasta with kale pesto, pistachios and shrimp. The toast and the pasta were both exquisite with very interesting texture in addition to flavor. The dud was the French onion soup. Either white wine or sherry had been added to it in such quantity as to overpower all other flavors. After we complained to the server she reported back that the kitchen had had a similar complaint the day before and was rethinking their recipe. The bread pudding I shared with my wife was also very good and ample enough for two. Our server was excellent but the kitchen was remarkably slow. To the point that after ~40 minutes had passed without our entree showing up our server brought us some delicious rolls with honey butter, as an apology for the wait,“

“Even after they changed locations (right next door) Food prices are reasonable considering the size of their dishes. I love their lamb and rice platters, for $22 depending on who you are you'll have enough food to feed yourself and others if you want. Great place for something to eat that's not your everyday fast food..“

“The Halal Cheesesteak Nachos? Unreal. Perfectly seasoned meat, crispy nachos, and melty cheese in every bite. It’s bold, flavorful, and seriously addictive.

The place has good vibes, generous portions, and you can taste the care in every order. If you're anywhere near Chester, make the trip. You won’t regret it.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious I got french toast beef bacon home fries and scrambled eggs with cheese. The young black server/hostess was kind and friendly smiled and aimed to please. The white server/ cashier wasn't so friendly as far as energy and demeanor. Total opposite of her coworker. She was just there to do a job and it showed.“

“Can’t go wrong with the staple: Dig Inn. I was so excited to dig into this bowl…ha ha get it. The service was the best part, my social anxiety accidentally led me to order the wrong sauce, and upon kindly asking the man for the best sauce, garlic aioli, he gave me two! All I can say are kind things about this place. You must stop by.“

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

“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!!“

“Mimosas are always good🥂😋‼️“
