New American Restaurants near Swarthmore, PA

“My friend and I came across this lovely winery while out and about for New Year’s Eve (2024). We snagged a seat at the bar. Andrew was a great server, Very friendly and personable. I would like to come back for their cuisine, however they have an array of a wine list! I tried a few from dry to sweet and processed to ask questions, they’re extremely knowledgeable and proceeded to even look for an ice wine for me just by mentioning it. so far my favorite would be the house rosé. (and I don’t usually like the dryer side). Thank you for this experience, I am looking forward to many more and happy new year!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We reserved 333 Belrose for a funeral luncheon for 30 people. From the first contact, Steve was extremely accommodating. The food was excellent, prepared to order & the service was impeccable. We could not have asked for anything more. We can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here with ~40 guests and I can't imagine there is a location around Philadelphia that could be a better fit.We went for the family style service in a private room. All of the food was delicious (especially the Brussels sprouts) with generous portions (we took home 8 to-go boxes).“

“My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch on our way to La Push. The crab dip was hands down the best I’ve eaten. I was a tad disappointed they were out of the fresh albacore tuna melt but the blackened shrimp tacos I ordered instead were delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed the fish and chips. Miranda, our server, was friendly, prompt, and very helpful with both the drink menu and food options. We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in Port Angeles.“

“Stopped in and had Breakfast there this morning for my fiancées birthday! Everything was delicious! My mother and Grandmother owned Miller's back when it was known as Miller's Luncheonette. Had a little blast from the past walking in and remembering all the good times from my childhood!! Thank you lady's for being so friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be back next time with my Dad!“

“We love Tank and Libby's! It is a must go-to spot in Drexel Hill. Today, I got chicken and waffle with scrambled eggs. In the past, I've gotten omelets, french toast, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. They are good food, good service, good prices.Parking: Lots of parking.“

“Great breakfast/diner-ish food--I'm partial to the creamed chipped beef. Mostly takeout (few tables), all Styrofoam + plastic--goes with their mostly takeout biz..Orders seem to flow smoothly, prices are better than fair and parking is plentiful.“

“I ate here on a Sunday evening in a group of 5 women. Our waiter was Jason. When we sat down he asked if we were celebrating anything and we told him that my daughter had just said yes to her wedding dress. He went above and beyond to make our meal special. Not only did he give my daughter a free oyster as a treat, but they also gave us all champagne so we could do a toast. Jason was an attentive server and made sure my daughter who has a gluten allergy had a meal that was safe for her. We all got salads with added protein and they were fantastic! Very unique and delicious. We had a great meal and superb service! I highly recommend this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: One guest in our group had a gluten allergy and they were attentive to her needs.“

“last weekend was my first time and I CANT WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND TO ROLL AROUND FOR ROUND TWO! delicious food. amazing service. it’s honestly top tier. thank you!!vegan strawberry and chocolate cake were amazingggg!!! vegan potato salad, mac and cheese and broccoli cheddar soup like WOW!please give 25-45 wait time but it’s worth it!Parking: very easy to park. on the corner on both sides of the street.“

“At this point, Sabrina’s is a MUST on our restaurant rotation. We haven’t had anything on the menu that wasn’t great. I’m not a chef, but everything seems to have a unique twist, or some really high quality ingredients that sets it over the top. This time (pictured) we had the Wild Mushroom Toast, the Philly Omelette, and the Huevos Rancheros. All amazing, and the portions are generous.I would also recommend the chicken & waffle (crispy perfection) and the breakfast tacos (best we’ve found since we left Texas. Don’t forget to ask for the sriracha!)The whole place seems to run like a well oiled machine, the staff are always nice and friendly, and the manager has helped us when we needed it.If you haven’t been before, it’s not the world’s biggest space, so expect some of the tables to be slightly close quarters. But definitely don’t let that deter you!“

“Can I give 6 stars!?!? Holy cow, did Goat’s Beard Manayunk NAIL it for my birthday party this weekend. Every single aspect of the party was on point and above expectations. From someone taking coats as soon as people entered to the speedy and excellent service of our waiter, Tim (amazing is not a strong enough word for him!). The food was delicious and all of the staff were accommodating. Everyone attending the party commented on how perfectly the party, drinks and food flowed. Thank you, Goats Beard for a simply flawless birthday party!“

“I love coming to this restaurant when visiting the area. Whether you are here for date night or meeting a girlfriend it has such a good vibe.Kid-friendliness: I would say it’s not really kid friendly especially for the dinner hour. There was also a table of teenage girls and it just seemed odd to have a small child there and teenagers. Maybe for brunch or lunch it would be fine.“

“I ordered takeout from the Bottle Shop and got the Local44 Burger platter with fries and green salad! Meat was cooked just right(medium well), tasty home cut fries, good fresh salad. Awesome staff and atmosphere. Cant wait to eat in the restaurant upon return!“

“Our first experience here, popping in on a rainy Saturday evening. Despite the warm, welcoming interior, the first thing we noticed was how loud the restaurant was. Full capacity with a crowded bar does not need loud music playing! It was exceedingly difficult having a conversation with my partner, we actually gave up and people watched.Food was great! We enjoyed our bacon wrapped figs and goat cheese appetizers. The Tips & Shrimp and short rib pasta entrees were great as were the house-made beignets.The awesome hostess was as doing quadruple duty as Villanova students are one Spring break. She didn’t miss a beat taking our drink and food orders, filling our water and making sure we were enjoying our meal.“

“Whatever you do, if you go here for brunch you must get the biscuit board. The honey butter + the crispy/fluffy biscuits that do not fall apart like every other biscuit I've ever had was the most delightful appetizer I've had for breakfast. Espresso martini was average at best, would recommend just a regular coffee instead of a breakfast cocktail.“

“The food was delicious! It's byob so of course the drinks were good too the service was awesome, but we were also there on a non busy week night. The atmosphere was sleek and informal. It's definitely on the pricey side for me, but would def recommend!“

“Everything was delicious! I had the seafood omelette, pancakes and we shared the shrimp and grits. The grits were buttery and creamy. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful. Our waiter Dominique was kind and patient. His service was incredible. The seafood omelette was filled with small shrimp and real crab meat! The manager Eric Coleman checked on us too! He is kind and polite. Great restaurant!!!“

“I did not take any pictures but this place was perfect for a quick pick me up! It's the perfect diner food that you need on a Saturday or Sunday morning after a late night! The woman who took my order was extremely kind and the food was served quickly!“

“Love love love this place!! The lamb is absolutely amazing and I can't get enough of the lobster Mac and cheese. Really happy this place opened in lansdowne.Kid-friendliness: Totally will serve you cook to order items for the kids whether it's plain burger with nothing or something off the wall.“

“My husband, toddler, and I frequent this location at least 1-2x a month. It's a family friendly restaurant with consistently excellent food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. We have yet to be disappointed. The menu is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of their food and drinks are worth it, in my opinion.Their cocktails are the best around - the Marilyn Monroe is my absolute favorite, but I also enjoy the Whiskey Sour. We love the confit wings and the Southwest Salad with salmon is my go-to. I recently brought my friend for her first time and she loved it, especially the cauliflower appetizer. Jamie has been my waitress a couple times now and has always been friendly, prompt, and ready to help with suggestions, even on the busier days! I'm already excited for our next trip in.“

“Somo is one of my go to spot for late night eats and drinks in the Manayunk area. They stay open until 11 most days. It’s convenient and has a good atmosphere. Now, the food is average but it’s good. I’ve never been wowed by anything to be honest. But it’s good food. You will enjoy it. Try it for yourself. Some hits for me are the mussels, lobster ravioli, calamari and shrimp scampi. I typically order those same things. The roasted chicken is simple but good as well. Could use some extra flavor. The short rib is hit or miss. The drinks are good. They are not strong but good flavor. It used to be a bartender there he was so sweet and nice he made good drinks. This is a cool place to meet up have some good food and drinks at the bar with friends or on a first date or casual date.“

“My mother and I share the same birthday. On Saturday we celebrated with family and friends at Room 55. Chef Jermaine Mitchell and Angela Edmunds are just the best to work with when planning a event. They are professional, kind, sincere, patient and care about providing you the best service that you deserve! They will work with you to help accommodate your needs and design of style that you are seeking for your special event/s. The Vibe Staff members are fantastic and very attentive to details. Thank you all for making our special day memorable and a blessing at 85 and 60 years strong!! We truly appreciate and love all of you! ????????????“

“Haven't been here in years but it is still delivering a great culinary experience! We had great Cab that we were able to taste before ordering(Lyle Thomas), and both entrees salmon and pasta ragliatore(sp?) were wonderful. The pot de crene for dessert was out of this world decadent and delicious. Fun night! Our server was awesome! Nice chill late Sunday afternoon vibe“

“Oh my goodness- Nirvana yum in a bowl. -think Chipotle like bowl meal meets Indian flavors and creativity- and in an efficient and convenient fast casual venue. As a true "frequent flyer"- I wish every airport had a Currito. It's a rare treat to find a place with truly healthy (veggie and nutrition dense) options that are high in flavor and options. Don't worry if you don't like "curry"- though there's curry in the name, there are many options that are curry-free. If you've never tried Indian fare, this is the best way to have a taste- customized and "safe" for even the pickiest of eaters. The service was fast, and the owner was looking on to ensure high quality and satisfaction.“

“A true taste of home. We all (Philly) know that not everyone can make a good AUTHENTIC cheesesteak. I've lived in Delco for a little bit now and have been searching for a taste of home. I found it! I was happily surprised when I bit into this. Had to take half of it home. Life and kids put finishing it on the back burner (lower shelf in the fridge). Two days later, "discovered " it's hiding place - the roll was crazy soft even though it was cold. A quick reheat, and it was back to tastebud heaven. Well worth the 20-minute drive around the parking lot looking for an empty spot.“

“Best meal I've had in months, shout out to Chef Wayne!We went for the Valentine's day special and couldn't have been more pleased. Greeted with smiles as soon as we entered and the entire staff was hospitable, kind, and helpful.Had goat cheese and fig crostini, Ribeye topped with mushrooms and served with mashed potatoes and green beans, and Bananas foster bread pudding to top it all off. Can't decide what was best, and can't wait to come back again and try more.“

“I randomly stopped in today, after having a taste for some red snapper. First time here and hands down the best red snapper I’ve ever had. My whole platter was amazing, the cabbage, Mac and cheese, and the rice and peas. They even put some oxtail gravy on my rice. You will need a nap after a dish like the one I had today. “

“Great little place in the heart of Roxborough. Easy street parking very clean and food is prepared very well. It's great that seniors are given a free coffee which is normally four dollars from Monday to Friday. You should frequent this establishments.“
