50 Best American Restaurants near Swarthmore

“Great food and excellent service!“

“This place is legit OG. Your not going to get a better restaurant in heart of delco burbs. This place opens at 7am 7 days a week. Place is a powerhouse restaurant/deli/grill giving great service, running full breakfast and lunch menus everyday, easy jump off from 95 and 476 if you are near philly or want a local vibe south of Swarthwmore.“

“We are working our way through Manyunk restaurants and Bar Jawn had some excellent reviews. It was much smaller than I expected but the Bourdain signs and country music told me we were in the right place. Cooper Sharp fried cheese squares with fresh sauce were outrageously good. Cheesesteak with Cooper sharp and cherry peppers did Philly proud. Loved the seeded roll too. Definitely will be back. Service was friendly and attentive. A really great Sunday afternoon.“

“I’ve been to a few DIG locations, and honestly, I don’t know what the difference is, but the food here just tastes better. Everything I’ve had has been fresh and delicious, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Definitely my go-to spot now.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We had an evening out At The Table and did the tasting menu. It didn't disappoint. The food was amazing, my favorite was the scallop course. The only negative was a table of 6 near us who kept complaining. They arrived at the same time as us and also had the tasting menu. Our young daughter was more mature than this group of 60+yr olds. When the lamb entree came out they were convinced it wasn't lamb. It was lamb, and it was excellent. The whole idea of the tasting menu is to relax, take your time and have good conversations, entree at about 90mins and done in 2 hours. The waiter and chef were apologetic when they didn't need to be. I feel bad for them and wanted to post a review. Highly recommend the restaurant, awesome for a date night.“

“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!“

“Celebrated a birthday dinner, and I couldn’t be happier with everything from the food to the service. The decor is also a giant plus 🩵🙏“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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.

“Breakfast lunch dinner in Wayne pa Angelos cafe“

“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“

“My family of 8 came here to stop for lunch and the friendliness of all the staff was such an encouragement. Props to Amber our server for truly making us feel welcomed! All of us were filled to the gills and have taken note to stop by the next time we're in the area again!“

“Hi we had a luncheon yesterday 8-4-25 it was a celebration of my cousin’s life. There was 10 of us and they knew what service was outstanding. My cousin always was at your place for breakfast or lunch. It was perfect send off in her memory. The servers went above and beyond to take care of us. I will definitely be back. Donna P“
