50 Best American Restaurants near Swarthmore

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Good Evening Google Family. I visited for the first time today. I googled breakfast spots and this came up. Originally, I was going to Bittersweet Kitchen in Media, but alas, no parking in Media. There is metered parking but no spaces were available. Also there was kiosk parking but I do not have the app that is required and I was not going to download it. I have Meter App for Philly, but not the one for Delaware County. I ordered take out at Antonia's. A nice young lady handed me a menu. I decided on 2 slices of french toast and turkey bacon. Salma, another nice young lady who smiled, took my order. It was $12.93. I was happy because I finally found a nice breakfast spot and it was inexpensive. What a FIND!!! I can't wait to tell AJ about this one. I received my food quickly and I also asked for an orange juice, a large. I was so hungry after trying to donate blood at the American Red Cross. This time at the Wawa Beverage Center in Media, PA., located at 1393 Baltimore Pike. My hemoglobin, once again was too low for Power Red. They tried two thumbs. The one thumb registered 8.9, so so low and the other thumb was 13.0. Not enough for Power Red. I didn't want to give a regular blood donation, I signed up for Power Red. So I bade them goodbye and then I left. I love donating Power Red since you only have to do it four(4) times a year. Salma, my server, was so so nice at Antonia's and she smiled. I gave her my business card and I asked her to follow me on my social media platforms. She said that she would. I gave her a $5.00 tip since she was so kind and hospitable. She smiled and was very happy. I wonder if she is named after the actress Salma Hayek. I paid my bill and then I left. This is a nice quaint restaurant. The set up and the inside of the place is very inviting. Antonia's reminds me of a quaint little inn that you see on social media. Also it reminds me of a cozy bed and breakfast. I enjoyed my experience here even though I opted for take out and ate in my car. I don't like dining alone in a restaurant. I will be back. I liked the service here very much. Not like IHOP IN UPPER DARBY at all!!!! Good night Google family, workout, be healthy, fit and Fabulous!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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 local breakfast/lunch spot! Also love it for take out.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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 food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

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

“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 🩵🙏“

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

“Z the owner is super chill, known her for about 5 years at the gym, & she never spilled the beans about owning a bar. Shane the other owner was a word I like to call competent & focused. Giving A1 customer service by paying attention to detail.“

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

“Quizzo on Tuesday night is a fun time!“

“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 😔“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Breakfast lunch dinner in Wayne pa Angelos cafe“

“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..“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Pretty good. Food is decent, good selection of beers. Prices are a bit high for the quality you're getting, in my opinion. But they're on par with the area.

Service is very friendly.

Hours aren't great. Things die off really early, probably because they close early. Maybe it's just the reality of that location. But Paoli would benefit from a place that stays open until 11 or 12, even if it's limited menu later on.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Nothing really everything is good“
