“The place is very clean and lovely. The salad is so fresh! Everything is just as delicious as you can imagine. My kids and us finished all the food. The waitress and chef are very friendly. So, we would love to visit again.”

“Always a great meal here! We have had dinner, brunch and most recently happy hour. So happy to have this local gem with great food, excellent service and a charming ambiance.”

“I recently stopped by this craft brewery to kill some time before heading to my girlfriend's bands performance. This place looked cool from the outside, so I went inside to try a few beers out. Looking at their menu, they offered a nice selection. I tried one of their IPA's along with their Oktoberfest Lager. I enjoyed both of these brews. The Oktoberfest went down very smoothly, and you can't go wrong with an IPA, as it was very flavorful and fruity. They offered a bunch of benches and tables for seats as well as lots of bar sitting. The place was pretty crowded for a Saturday, but a good vibe to it. Overall, I had a good time here drinking a few beers.”

“I am not totally against Sharples food. They are pretty delicious sometimes. The problem is the people behind the counter. Once I went there, I got so excited because they had wing bar- the best bar you will ever see. There are three people. One holding the tongs, second just standing there, third bringing food from the kitchen. Since there were tongs in two other chicken trays, I grabbed them by myself and the first one said "she only asked for zing wing." Well, my point is if you don't want customers to get the food by themselves, why would you put tongs there! It's not like you get one out of three. Well, that makes me disappointed. Sharples can be a resort for outside customers but they treat the students like shit. Especially the student part-time workers. They should be trained.”

“I used to order from here all the time before I moved out of Swarthmore because the food was great especially the cheesesteak. I just went back for the first time in 6 years and the cheesesteak is even better now! This place is amazing and the people there are awesome!”

“It’s so enjoyable hopping off a train from Philly and walking across the street towards a quaint town and welcoming restaurant. Their food is consistently fresh, seasonal and delicious. Excellent, friendly, down to earth servers and staff. Such a good vibe, even in the middle of the day. Perfect place to meet friends in the suburbs if coming from center city. Great atmosphere, fireplace in the winter and outdoor seating in summer. Highly recommend!”

“The best Chinese food in Swarthmore. Love the staff. As of this writing, it's still take-out only.Vegetarian options: My wife is vegan, quite a few selections to pick from or they can customize certain dishes.”

“I love this restaurant. Very fast service and polite people. Food is great. Definitely suggest for breakfastParking: Parking is a nightmare. Better off just parking in the middle of the street.”

“Went to pick up some food for a baby shower. Friendly service, but quite pricey. Over $7 for a bottle of OJ! But hey, in neighborhoods like that, what can you expect?”

“Their pizza and cheesesteaks are awesome but more times than not I end up getting something from either their specials menu or their large menu. Always friendly service.”

“Shareese (May of spelled that wrong but I apologize!) was super helpful and understanding with my order. I called this store in hopes of finding an ice cream cake and he was sooo nice! 3 other local Baskin Robbins stores turned me down in the rudest way possible even though I could still place an online order for the cake I was looking for. The other stores told me that if I placed the order they were going to call and force me to cancel it (which is absolutely absurd to me) some of the stores even had their doors shut so no one could come in. Shareese was so nice and helpful and even offered me a free coffee for my troubles and I still got the cake with a smile from the other employees there! That’s what I call awesome customer service and spreading holiday joy!”

I will be eating your fabulous pizza on a regular basis!!So nice to be treated so kindly.Great place!!! Thank you.Sooooo good!!!!!”

“This was my first time at Hobbs. As others have mentioned, the coffee was excellent. I got an Americano and it was very smooth but might not be strong enough for hardened caffeine addicts (I do admit that could be the fault of my heavy pour of whole milk though so take my opinion about the strength with a grain of salt). Atmosphere was great and I love the location next to the train station. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich which was very tasty but I have to knock one star off since the bread was a bit tough. Gotta give it up to the guy manning the grill too. I think he was the only one making food orders and he was serving them up fast despite it being pretty busy. Rock on my guy!”

“The meat was good, buy I really disliked the rice. It was too bland tasting and less oil than normal fried rice. It tastes healthier but not as good as normal Chinese food fried rice.”

“I visit this marvelous restaurant every couple of days because I love the ambiance that is exist in this place. The staff is very friendly and well trained. The service is extremely quick. Most important, the food they cook is excellent. I frequent many times and I was always pleased. The pay is fair. I suggest this place to to everybody.”

“Absolutely delicious food!! The beef and bok choy in particular was delicious. Bonus points for being incredibly family friendly- we were offered a high chair right away when we entered, and everyone on staff was extremely kind and sweet with our one year old daughter. We really appreciated the wonderful dinner experience and we will be back!”

“Had dinner at Springfield Bertuccis tonight. Haven't been here in a couple of years. The food was really good. Even better was our server, Katelynn. So friendly, helpful and prompt. We will be back, thanks to her wonderful service.”

“I’ve been to other Cava locations, but I must say this one is the cream of the crop. Normally my order is a bit complicated, but Zaniah, Christina, and boy Joe really looked out for us. They were personable and very funny. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you again Zaniah, Christina, and Joe you guys are the best!!!”

“I would give 6 stars if I could!!! Such a great addition to Havertown! The food is delicious, love the vibe and the service is amazing!!! The pineapple express wings were AMAZING! I saw some instagram stories saying to get them and our server Marissa (who was the sweetest by the way) sealed the deal by saying awesome they were- she was right!!! I am not a huge wing person and could have eaten 20 of them! The guac is so good and fresh; served with warm chips. My husband and I both got fajitas- shrimp and steak, soooo good! Also the cucumber marg was great, strong (not mad about that) and delicious! Adding this in because my husband is a huge sports guy- the Phillies ended and within minutes they put on March Madness games- no awkward gap where you're watching infomercials for hours (it is his pet peeve haha). So happy that Al Pastor is in town! Can't wait to return!”

“Tried this place out for the first time last night, first when you walk in, the atmosphere is very inviting, all the staff is super friendly and you can see by how they work, they put the same amount of attention in all the food they put out. Had their large plain square pizza and it was delicious, the crust was crispy but also soft and chewy on the inside and had great flavor, the sauce tasted amazingly fresh. Also had their hand breaded wings, and they were amazing as well, nice and crispy on the outside, but not over cooked on the inside, I feel like some places either have wings super crispy on the outside, but the inside is dry, or the outside is soggy but the inside is fine. Johnny's has hit that sweet spot in regards to the texture of their wings. Seriously consider checking out the gem of a place.”

“We are vegans and just found this place recently. Have been here 3 times already in the past couple of months. Love the imitation crab cakes, tacos, artichokes!! Overall amazing!”

“I saw this place on social media so wanted to check it out. You have an amazing idea here. I thought the Z thing was only for the menu but they have their employees substituting Z’s for everything. It’s funny, it’s an experience. Great customer service IMO.Y’all need to update your address or business page on google maps, this location shows one place. I saw another location on your website, this review is for the truck at 3400 Fox St. I’m not even sure what this business page address is for. Maybe this is an old location?Onto the chicken cheesesteak. I got one with fried chicken tenders inside, lettuce, and I think they put some kind of hot sauce as well. The bread this comes on is incredible. If you want anything HEALTHY, DO NOT come here, I’m reading that it’s deep fried bread. Whatever they do to it, I could’ve ate it alone. The fried chicken inside is seasoned well. It’s kinda too much and falls apart as a result but who cares, eat some first with a fork then eat the rest. I got fries here but they were just okay. I want to come back and try something else.”

“Visited for lunch on a sunny Sunday. Solid wine and beer list and fantastic food! The only downside was that there is limited seating and we were near the windows. The sun was streaming in and there was no window shade. Not only were we warm, we ate the whole meal with the sun in our eyes! I’m hoping they fix this issue bc it’s an easy fix and the food was truly delicious”

“Me and my roomies finally went here to try it out cause we were tired of wawa and wow were we glad we made that change, this place deserves business as they go very slow and put lots of love into the food and that makes the wait worth it! The food is incredible and the things they sell are so fun! The vibe in here is so fun! They also have a banana pudding that is absolutely elite in price and flavorUpdate : I ordered cheese fries but they didn’t put cheese on it?”

“Very friendly and great prices!Clean from top to bottom, dine-in available!They take pride in their business, but also their customers! The food was excellent.I'll be back soon!”

“Srinagar has the best samosa chaat in the area. Their takeout packaging is careful and food is kept in a double layered thick brown bag so you don't have to worry about a spill. And if you're lucky, you might just find a surprise complementary dessert in it.”

“Cashier very friendly great and server was very nice food was great jelly donuts love them all they need to get in the donut bin is cream fill donuts ? or custard donuts just saying lol we will be back come all the way from Show&”

“I recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.”

“I recently relocated to Drexel Hill and this evening I decided to find a juice bar. I was beyond taken away by the customer service and hospitality of this establishment. Repeat customer for sure! Smoothies are ?”
