“Had my first Roots experience today! The cafe is beautiful, staff is fantastic, and the food is incredible! Cannot wait to go back❤️“

“Our team has worked with the staff of Southern Bloom Kitchen for the past few months. Each staff member helped serve our team food, gave them a tour, and helped with preparing for the lecture series. A truly outstanding place and we will refer all our friends to the restaurant. A++++++++“

“Food has been outstanding for many years. Creative, eclectic and routinely delicious. Hours of operation took a real hit from COVID and it has been a gradual bounce-back. Bartenders are beloved in community. It’s a Downingtown staple. And as the name says, it’s right across the street from the Amtrak/SEPTA station. If you grab a table next to the window looking out on Lancaster Ave., you can see your train roll up and walk 100 feet to hop on.“

“Always wonderful photographing weddings at this incredible venue. Amazing architecture and a super-friendly staff who serve the most delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing! My favorite breakfast place in the world!“

“Very friendly staff, mmmmm good food, big portions, good coffee and they actually had HEAVY CREAM (just ask), clean environment. I live in Phoenixville and was waiting for my son to come out of an appointment so I googled and found this place and headed over. Had never been here but I'll be back for sure. Thanks!“

“Food and drinks were great - pub burger was excellent - and we really enjoyed the acoustic live music atmosphere!“

“Thank you for the great gate away with the wife.“

“First time today. We'll be back.“

“My partner and I decided to give Andiario a try over the weekend and I can't express how genuinely lovely the entire experience was. The staff were all extremely attentive and knowledgeable while the menu (which apparently changes every week) was delicious and inspiring. I swear I could have the pasta and pheasant for every meal and still be satisfied! I wish I could properly convey just how relaxing and delightful the atmosphere was too. Whoever designed the dining room did a lovely job. If you're looking for a night to remember and have an adventurous spirit, Andiario is the place to be!“

“Great spot indoors or out.“

“Waited 40 minutes for hush puppies while the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. Primary food order came 5 minutes later and my son’s order was wrong. It’s a shame because the food is good. But the service has been so slow both times I’ve been here. They did comp his meal. Just expect to wait a while and enjoy your drinks. Don’t come if you’re in a hurry.“

“Such an incredible restaurant! We stopped in after a trip to Longwood Gardens and loved the pizza and grilled turkey club! The brisket fries for an appetizer were also delish!“

“Amazing food, staff, music and over all vibe.“

“Great food and service with outdoor seating!! Highly recommended!!“

“We had our engagement party here and it was a dream. Kayla made the process so easy & care free. We are not huge planners but she helped us every step of the way. She was very flexible and accommodating for us. The day of the party everything turned out beautiful. The space is so comfortable and picture perfect! The food and drinks were phenomenal, all of our friends had a wonderful time!“

“Rons Bar and grille....I have driven past here for 2 years and always think "burger joint" Well on Wednesday me and the young lady decided to try it. First impression when you walk is "wow, this isn't a burger joint" The decorators did a wonderful job. After a little wait to get seated (they were packed and the wait was faster than told it would be) our server Brianna (I hope I got her name right) greeted us and got our drink order. We checked out the menu and there are lots of mentions of fresh this and fresh that...I walked in wanting a burger but took a chance on the cheese ravioli and meatballs and she ordered the grilled rueben. Food came out and it looked amazing, but I am a picky Italian and wasn't sure what the taste would be. Amazing, absolutely amazing. I left nothing on plate and she devoured her sandwich. Meanwhile, when ever we finished a drink a new one appeared like a ninja!!! The server was amazing, the food was amazing and the place itself is amazing. Fast forward to Friday (tonight) we decided to go for a mother's day treat from our son. The whole family got together (4 of us) for dinner. Everyone ordered an Italian dish. I ordered the chicken parm. This was the best chicken parm I have ever had. Better than mom, grandma and even my own. I have eaten a ton of chicken parm in my 50 years on this planet. This is best. The chicken was perfect the pasta was perfect. Nothing was left on the plate. Needless to say this is my new go to Italian spot!!! I didn't get pics of the food but the pics of the clean plate says it all. Oh, we had the same server as the first time. Again. Flawless service! We will be back again and again“

“I’m not always a huge fan of Saloon with how rowdy some people get but the food and drinks more than make up for it. Outdoor dining is top notch and I have to force myself to try different foods here because everything is so good. Very homey and comfort food with super fun drinks and an awesome selection. The servers are also super super sweet and they book great live music (shout out to Lee James).“

“I cannot rave more about our experience today. The manager Steve returned my call right away when booking for my larger party … it was clear he is super well-organized. Service with Chris was exceptional. Everyone loved the food & drinks ~ plenty of tasty options for vegetarians and folks with Celiac’s. This continues to be my go-to restaurant in WC! Thank you!“

“As our son attends WCU, we meet here for dinner fairly often. After sampling other area restaurants, we keep coming back to Barnaby's. The food is good and fresh, the portions are satisfying, the pricing is very fair, and the service is consistently on point. My wife and I met in the restaurant business (Doylestown, which is full of overpriced options), so it's refreshing to find a place which just hits all of the right notes. We'll continue to keep coming back whenever we visit West Chester.“

“We ate here last night, we had the best food and the best waiter! It was a treat all around!“

“Babes and I went here this past Friday for the Beef Wellington. They offer it as a special only on the fourth week of the month. Let’s just say it did not disappoint. Exactly what you would want it to be. Melt in your mouth, no real knife needed ?.
Also had the Brussels sprouts- fried hard. Yum. Crispy in every single layer with a nice kick of maple!
We sat out on the patio, our server was a joy. She had a great personality- wish I could remember her name to shout her out.
My only true complaint is the obnoxious table beside us that had no table manners. Belching left and right, cackling the whole time. Clearly they had too much fun and forgot about their surroundings. Patio was just not this kind of atmosphere. Had they been in the bar/at the bar it would have been more understandable.

Nonetheless, the Brussels sprouts and the Wellington is a must try! They also had one of babes favorite beer!“

“This Applebee's was on point today. We were seated right away no wait. The server came up right away. The food was good. I ordered the French onion soup and chicken wanton tacos. The soup is normally good no surprise there but it was the first time I had the chicken taco off the appetizer menu they were light crispy and had fantastic flavor. Would definitely recommend“

“Service was slow but server was excellent!!“

“Food- 4/5
Service- 5/5
Ambiance- 5/5
Drinks- NA
Value- 4/5

Was lucky enough to get a last minute reservation on a Saturday night and enjoyed our food. Started with the seafood soup which had some good chunks of lobster, clams, potatoes, and more. It had good flavor and I would definitely get it again. Next I ordered the seared halibut with saffron risotto and lobster tarragon sauce. The halibut itself was a little dry, but the sear was done well. Luckily the saffron risotto and lobster sauce were delicious and was a perfect complement to the somewhat dry halibut. My wife got the special Cajun wild stripped bass. She said the flavor was good, but expected a little more bite with the “Cajun” descriptor. Our server was delightful and helpful. Everything explained with patience and a smile. And the atmosphere was perfect for the start to a night out.

TIP- don’t forget to BYOB!!“

“Great spot indoors or out.“

“Love this place. The food is incredible - much higher quality and attention to detail and ingredients than you'd probably expect from a strip mall pub (once inside, you forget about the strip mall aspect). Will very definitely eat there again (the fried Brussels sprouts are HEAVEN) when I'm in or near Kennett Square.“

“We used our Toys for Tots donation voucher for a take-out family style dinner yesterday. The meal was abundant and absolutely delicious! We all agreed that it was some of the best pasta we have ever had. And the antipasti, caesar salad and cheesecake were also amazing. Thank you Bar Avalon for a wonderful meal and your generous offering for a good cause.“

“We had a wonderful experience this past weekend at my daughter’s bridal shower! Meaghan and Gabby and their team were so nice to work with and the food was amazing- I especially loved the salmon! Thank you for everything!“

“This is a great local spot to enjoy good food, great friends and amazing ambiance. We tried their breakfast, apple cake French toast and regular French toast and both were sweet, filling and flavorful. The service was great as busy as it was. Also, the interior decor was colorful and inviting. I would highly recommend!“

“Our first time eating here! Everything was fantastic! Absolutely delicious barbecue!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Lincoln Dinner with my wife on a pleasant Saturday afternoon around 1 PM. Situated conveniently close to a small airport, it was the perfect spot for a leisurely meal before your travels. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff whose service was truly top-notch, making us feel right at home.

The ambiance of the restaurant was charming and inviting, and the food was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing both creativity and quality ingredients. Our meal was a delicious journey, and we enjoyed every bite.

Overall, our experience at the Lincoln Dinner was outstanding, thanks to the great food and impeccable service. Whether you're just passing through or looking for a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend a visit to this remarkable establishment.“

“Great food laid back atmosphere“
