“WHERE DO I EVEN START. I took one extra empty sip of my drink to make the sound and came runnin this amazing waitress named ABBY. She was sweet the whole time and always made sure i was utterly satisfied. Cant believe her unctuous humor as-well. If she doesn't get a raise thats a bigger shame then 9/11/2001. She would win the superbowl if it came to applebee service. Mvp status. I would like to request her every time from this very day forward.“

“We have been customers of Bonu Cafe Express - Exton for several years, for sit in, take-out, as well as for family meals for holiday dinners... We've always been pleased with the friendly service, delicious food quality, and value... We recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter, and approached to owner about catering the event for 35 guests... We enjoyed a feast of humus, chicken kabob, beef tenderloin kabob, grilled fresh vegetables, and rice... The meal was ready to go as scheduled, we were provided with chafing dishes and sterno to keep the meal warm, and enjoyed a great dining experience... Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal... A big thank you Bijan and his team!“

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

“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++++++++“

“We LOVE Station Taproom. Jack is our favorite bartender, but their whole staff is great! The cocktail and beer menu is amazing, and I’ve never eaten anything bad from there. This is our favorite place to bring friends and family when theyre in town! They always have new specials on the menu, which is fun, BUT…..bring back the chicken bacon ranch sandwich PLEASEEEEE!“

From the relaxed atmosphere, to the friendly and welcoming staff to the absolutely delicious dinner, everything was amazing!

Thank you for a special evening out and for preparing food the way it was meant to be enjoyed. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Great food, great drinks, and always a good vibe. It’s one of those places you can count on for a fun night out. The staff is always friendly and everything we’ve had there has been really good.

I also want to give them a shoutout for supporting the community. I work for the Crime Victims’ Center and they generously donated food for one of our events in February and gave us gift cards to raffle at our big event in September.

Businesses that support local organizations and causes like that deserve recognition. Huge thank you to James for being so supportive of our mission. It really means a lot.“

“I vist this establishment on occasion. It is always a pleasure. I usually order their burger with the BBQ sauce. The service is very good. The atmosphere is open and airy. You can have a group or choose a cozy nook. Indoor and outdoor seating. It is so worth traveling the extra miles to order!“

“I recommend seeing Michelle she is great Bartender“

“Excellent food and friendly plus we love supporting family run business ‼️‼️ Got to try Wednesday Homemade Chicken pot pie it is the BEST 👋😄👋“

“My boyfriend and I drove from MA to PA in April and we stopped at Ron’s on the first night before continuing our drive to our place to stay in Akron. We walked in and it was busy (Friday night at dinner time to be expected). We waited not long and grabbed two seats at the bar. The bartenders were all attentive, friendly and gave great recommendation. We shared Supersticks and Chicken Parm and a dessert to go. The food was incredible and great size portions. We loved it so much we ended up going back into town Sunday night instead of trying somewhere new because we enjoyed it so much that we wanted to try something else. The second night we shared the Nachos, a Buffalo Chicken Stromboli and French Onion Soup. It was equally as good and enjoyable as the first night and we sat in the dining room this time and the waitress was just as great as the bartenders! Now we say every weekend that we are going to drive to PA and stay the night just so we can go eat at Ron’s(one day we won’t be joking). Thank you for the amazing food, service and memories! We hope to be back soon!“

“Wonderful meal! Delicious small plates that we shared. Especially loved the bruschetta! All of our party of 4 loved our entrees. Rosemary rack of lamb crusted with honey goat cheese was excellent. Beautiful ambience subdued and classy yet unpretentious. Chris was our waiter…tops in every way. Just the right amount of attention. Spence Cafe remains to be our favorite West Chester restaurant.“

“What a perfect night, out waitress was just the best, so was the food, and your atmosphere is always terrific. Forgot how good you are. Sorry it took so long to return but see y’all soon.then Dick Vermiel stopped by our table. Yuper. Top that“

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

“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!“

“Came here after visiting Longwood Gardens! Ordered the ultimate trio with fried pickle fries, chicken quesadilla, and mozzarella sticks and parmesan chicken fettuccini. Highly recommend the ultimate trio. Fettuccini sauce tasted a bit bitter but the chicken was great quality. Had great, timely service even late at night.“

“Friendly staff, variety of merchandise, and just a fun place to visit!“

“Lance was perfection and a friendly attentive server. Food arrived quickly and the pictures posted show how beautiful the breakfast presentation was. Kudos to the chef! The eggs Florentine with salmon was a perfect 10/10. Delicious. Scrapple thickness was spot on and cooked perfectly, and the carrot cake French toast pictured was delicious. The food could have been a little bit hotter but overall it was always a pleasurable experience this is our 4th or fifth time dining there at will return. Good coffee“

“This is our go to when we just want great food and a relaxing atmosphere. Love the staff!!“

“Get yourself an Italian cheesesteak on garlic bread and thank me later 👌🏼“

“Great food plenty of bacon, homefries etc. yummy“

“Local watering hole situated in a busy strip mall. Good place to meet friends for a drink and bite to eat. The beer was cold but didn’t eat anything.

The bar area is tight but a huge dining room with plenty of tables in the back.“

“We’ve eaten inside and on the terrace . The food and staff are always excellent.“

“I really enjoyed the fries I had here - my friends literally kept stealing them from me because of how delicious they were. The key lime drink is literally the best cocktail I have ever had. It was nice to see that they used real vanilla too! This place pleasantly surprised me. I went to hang with friends, but I think we found our new spot! They even had a Love Island watch party for us gals :)“

“Beaver Creek Tavern is our go to place! Great food and friendly staff. If you haven’t had the French Onion Steak Dip sandwich - go get it now! It’s delicious.“

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“My wife and I have been eating here since we moved to the area one year ago the food is EXCEPTIONALLY PREPARED , the service is EXCEPTIONAL , the atmosphere is COMFORTABLE . THE FOOD IS THE BEST IN THE AREA BAR NON .!!“

“True American hospitality. The bartender Jeremy was friendly and knowledgeable about local eateries and gave very good suggestions about activities that we interested in like nature trails and traveling routes. Bar was nice and clean. Great value price, and great service. We’ll come back again.“

“Had the spinach and white pizza - and being from New York, it was very good. My husband had on the bone wings dry and loved them. My son had the kids cheeseburger and fries, and actually ate the entire meal even with having the pretzel bites appetizers. Pretzel bites tasted fresh. Cheese sauce tasted like melted white American, which wasn’t bad, but it was definitely heated up prior to the pretzels being ready. My husband had the VK original IPA, which he liked, but he definitely enjoyed my Dreadnought IPA better. Specials on a Sunday for beer and appetizers, which was a nice surprise. They also have a special on Sunday for when you purchase a pizza, you get a kids pizza free.“

“Great spot indoors or out.“
