“Great food and excellent service!“

“I called to see if they had pumpkin pancakes. The owner, Antonia, informed they do not but that they had pumpkin French toast with made with pumpkin bread & a pumpkin roll on top. Omg! It was fantastic ! Thank you Antonia, your customer service is top notch!“

“Delicious!!! My friends and I were so excited to try Bar Jawn, especially since we’ve loved Pizza Jawn for a long time! The food and drinks were all fabulous - Bar Jawn has a chill, relaxed atmosphere but boasts an elevated bar menu that is so much more and so far beyond typical bar food! Some of our favorites were the drunken ravioli, the buffalo arancini (so inventive!!!), the chicken parm (make sure you get it with ravioli!), the mozzarella triangles (mozz sticks with an upgrade!) and the eggplant stack! So excited to come back as the menu changes and try even more awesome options! Thank you, Bar Jawn!“

Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“My coworker and I ate here every day while in town for business after our first visit. We tried the hoagies, barbecue, wings, sides, and desserts—everything was delicious! The wings lived up to the hype, and the service was fantastic. The owner is an absolute sweetheart, and we loved chatting with her. Can’t wait to return for great food, service, and ambiance!“

“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.“

“D. Burger and fries at $25 extremely overpriced. Otherwise everything was fine“

“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 🙂“

“First time here and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious, I must admit and the service was great. Only went for a quick bite while out running errands so can't speak on the night life. I would definitely consider patronizing this establishment again to try something else on the menu.“

“We extend sincere gratitude to At The Table for their invaluable support of the Radnor Post Prom Fundraiser, as the donation of a Gift Card to our fundraiser proved to be a major hit with parents, highlighting the importance of supporting local small business owners who consistently go above and beyond to facilitate successful events.“

“I traveled from Atlanta to Union Steaks, and it was worth it! Perfectly located by the Philadelphia United arena, the cheese steaks are among the best in the area. Soft bread, fresh peppers, and onions made every bite delightful. Bonus: the entire menu is Halal! The staff is friendly, and their cheese steak nachos are a must-try. Can't wait to try more next time I'm in town.

Dietary restrictions: 100% Halal“

“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“

I’ve been back multiple times and can’t say enough good things about the employees, customers, DJ Moon with the banging Music Bingo music and fun, Awesome prizes, GREAT food, Incredible drinks, lots of TV’s to watch the games, Sports watch parties, etc. As much as I want you guys to get more business, I love the “Cheers” bar similar atmosphere!!! A place where everyone knows your name ❤️ type of place. Can’t wait to come back. Definitely a place Id fully recommend if you’re looking for a Wonderful night out. See ya soon!! ☺️ cheers 🥂 Cheri“

“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 😔“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“visited 214 on a whim for a quick Friday night out with a friend. Our server Brendon apologized for the delay in getting to our table, explaining that it had been a wild night and they were slightly understaffed (understandable, it was Valentine's Day). After that, though, he was attentive and friendly for the entire meal. The winter salad I ordered was enormous and although it could have used more dressing, it was still enjoyable. My friend's burger came with a generous portion of fries and was phenomenal. For drinks, I opted for their "dealer's choice" option that lets you roll three dice to create a unique off-menu cocktail. It was dangerously tasty and a generous pour. After dinner, we moved to the bar and chatted with the bar manager Jeremy, who was not only also incredibly friendly and great conversation, but knew his way around the bar and came up with another bespoke cocktail when they were out of an ingredient for the drink I originally wanted. Overall, a fantastic experience across the board and definitely my new favorite spot in Media.“

“Quizzo on Tuesday night is a fun time!“

“It's been several years since I visited TJs and joined a friend for lunch. It's the same as it always was - great food, great service, large beer list if your looking for that. The French Onion Soup is always amazing and a great start to your meal or a great compliment with a salad for a meal itself!“

“Baylie was a rockstar waitress. My wife and I don’t come to Applebees often, but her service made us want to start coming back way more. She was super polite, friendly, timely, and accurate with taking orders. She deserves some recognition. Some would say “don’t reward someone for doing what is expected of their job”… but she did everything 110% of the way and it meant a lot to us. Thanks, Baylie!“

“Went for brunch since they have an outdoor patio that allows dogs, but it was a bit a chilly. The host brought out a water bowl for my pup and also gave some sourdough for my pup to enjoy. The coffee was delicious and refillable. I ordered the Lancaster County Omelet which was tasty. Also got the bread basket which was essentially banana bread (it paired really well with the butter and honey it came with). The service was great, and the waiter came by frequently to check in on us. Definitely recommend to dine outside when the weather is a bit warmer!“

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

“Breakfast lunch dinner in Wayne pa Angelos cafe“

“Roxy has been a staple in my life. The food is amazing and the staff is top of the line. Book all of your events there and you won’t regret it! Make sure y’all go see Teary and tell her the self love poet sent y’all!“

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

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

“Beef kabobs was poppin the rice was good too but she's expensive I rather go to the nice lady that sell kabobs 3 for 5 off woodland n 65th if I'm not mistaken her kabobs be hittin the spot n the hot sauce is tasty but Boi when it's time to potty lort ? ? ?“

“Alana is very rude and condescending to people who have had a long standing history of ordering from Fiesta. She recommended we take our business else where because we addressed her rude behavior. I will no longer be spending my money here due to Alana's repeated unprofessionalism.“

“The bartenders were so welcoming and attentive, we felt right at home. The beer selection is good. The food has its ups and downs. The chicken wings were over-cooked. Crispy but dry. The Brussels sprouts were fine. I think you should go with the mainstream menu options.“

“Have been a couple times and had the excellent wings. This time I asked the bartender Emily for a non-wing suggestion and she mentioned the Southwest Chicken Panini. I went with that and was glad that I did. The habanero bacon jam was legit. Emily was very attentive even with the gradually growing crowd she had to pour for. Total rock star! Will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“We were seated in a timely fashion despite the place being busy. Our coffee cups were filled immediately and our orders were taken as well. Our food came out within 15 minutes and had good presentation. The food was good and the value was good as well. Overall we were well satisfied with everything. I would highly recommend a visit.“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Place looks fantastic. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Beer is COLD. Place is very clean and inviting. Great job.“

“We purchased FRIED CHICKEN WINGS and they are some of the best I've had in decades! Although the wings are not huge, the average size is on the small/medium side. They are cooked when ordered so they were HOT! The coating is crisp and firm and the chicken is FRESH and seasoned deliciously without needing to add any additional seasoning, not too salty. It's in the hood, so it's a no frills tight space, no seating/standing room only. Nice surprise tho!“
