“I live nearby and Bierhaul has become one of my go-to spots year-round. My wife and I have an active 6 year old and in nice weather this place is hard to beat - great outdoor seating and space for a kid to move around. Interior is also great - I like how there are televisions for sports but it's not obnoxious like an actual sports bar. I have found the food to be largely excellent - not everything is a home run but overall the quality is very good, the portions are large and the prices are fair (wings are outstanding). Beer selection is good and interesting rotation. I see some people have complained about how it''s crowded at times, and it is - this is an area where that's not so common and guess what, welcome to popularity! That said the service has always been solid and even when it's crowded the staff make an effort to be available. Highly recommend.“

“The signature salad is amazing and the chicken florentine sandwich is delicious. And it's always a pleasant place to eat. I do miss the kolaches, though, although I understand why they dropped them.“

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

“Impressive from start to finish. Ideal spot for client dinners or a quiet meal with trusted friends. The wine list is exceptional and the staff made us feel completely taken care of.“

“ALWAYS get a delicious sandwich“

“Just stopped and got the buffalo shrimp taco and it was EPIC!!! Dave and staff are really great and the atmosphere is spot on. If your near booths corner check them out, also does catering as well.“

“Fantastic place. The food was delicious w/ every bite. Staff were so friendly and caring. Everything I ate/enjoyed I savored and it left me wanting another plate, but I left so filled and pleased with the whole experience. Can't wait to return!“

“It was really good! I LOVE a good Cheese Plate, and I got a Great cheese plate! I also got the Foie Gras Burger. I hadn't had foie gras before, so I thought it was pretty cool that I could try it at a place that wasn't a high-end French restaurant. It was pretty good! I enjoyed all of the food there. The waitstaff was awesome. Really nice atmosphere as well. Would Definitely go again. Kinda want to go now...but it's 7:30am 🤣“

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

“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! My family and I only come here for breakfast now. Such a good family run business that serves deeeeelicious food. Give it a try!“

“We love this place and everything about it, the food, the service, the atmosphere is laid back, no rush, no hard sell on the crème brûlée.“

“😍Tucked just off the road like a well-kept secret, Snuff Mill Steakhouse & Butchery is a revelation—a celebration of fine dining wrapped in the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, intimate interior that feels both polished and personal. High tables, rich wood tones, and a welcoming bar set the tone. And just to the left of the entrance, a gleaming meat case—like a culinary altar—builds anticipation with its marble-cut promise of things to come. Whimsy lives here too, from the surprise artworks to the playful presence of pigs in unexpected places (don’t miss the one keeping watch near the door). The wine list? Impeccably curated, with a focus on hand-selected bottles that beg to be explored. Cocktails are more than drinks—they’re small works of art, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly care. Then there’s Bill Irvin—proprietor, oyster whisperer, and front-of-house magician. A certified oyster expert, Bill pairs briny beauties with grace and authority. The chef and kitchen brigade bring French-influenced finesse to every plate, sourcing only the finest local ingredients. The results? Steaks seared to sublime, seafood that sings, and appetizers that linger on the palate like a good memory. The in-house pastry chef seals the deal—so save room. The desserts are nothing short of transportive. Snuff Mill is more than a meal; it’s a destination. Guests travel from near and far, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“So good!! Small menu but it’s done perfectly!“

“Mike provided our group an excellent customer service …“

“I have been a customer for a very long time they have a sign it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice, the sign is what made me a repeat customer 🙂“

“Meghan’s was busy when we arrived. Breakfast was brought out to us in minutes after placing our order. Waitress very pleasant and fast. Bacon 🥓, sausage, coffee and eggs were good. Personally I can make way better French toast. Highly recommend Meghan’s. We will definitely be back.“

“First time today. We'll be back.“

“Fun environment, nice crowd“

“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.“

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

“Maybe if we had been drinking alcohol, & lots of it, we would've received better service?
Food was wonderfully delicious and arrived sooner than expected. Many kudos to the back of the house. Front of house ghosted us. But, then good service is an ancient myth these days. And then they want a 20% tip? What a joke.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We extend sincere gratitude to At The Table for their invaluable support of the Radnor Post Prom Fundraiser, as the donation of a Gift Card to our fundraiser proved to be a major hit with parents, highlighting the importance of supporting local small business owners who consistently go above and beyond to facilitate successful events.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“This was our first time ordering from LaSpada's in Glen Mills. It was Superbowl Sunday so they were busy but the quality of the cheesesteaks and Old-fashioned Italian hoagie was spot on. The beef was flavorful and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of cheese on the sandwich. The hoagie had quality meats and was more than enough for a meal. Given that we ordered on Superbowl Sunday, we were given a specific pickup time and our sandwiches were hot and ready upon arrival. The call taker was pleasant and the counter staff was welcoming, despite it being a hectic day for them. We will be ordering for LaSpada's Glen Mills again!“

“Quizzo on Tuesday night is a fun time!“

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

“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 🩵🙏“

“our waitress Shannon at the Metro Wilmington DE location was AMAZING! Great food, eggs, grits and pancakes are super yummy. Highly reccomend!!!“

“Recently had dinner here on a Friday evening, we were seated immediately, without reservations, in the bar area. Service was quick, food was good! A little loud , but we were in the bar area. There was a group of about 12 people nearby. My only complaint is charging $16. for a glass of sangria? Really? It's mostly ice and fruit. I almost fell out of the booth when i saw that! Just a buyer beware. Overall good experience, great food!“

“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 😔“

“Amazing for individuals with celiac and just anyone! My daughter can eat here with no problem. So many yummy options. We love that we don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Highly recommended!“

“Awesome dessert , we love it , the foood and the people were so awesome“

“In town visiting my Bestie and we came and had brunch. We ate outside. The atmosphere was great, and our server was also great. The food came out in a timely fashion. I had the fresh berry French toast with scrambled eggs and chicken sausage. Everything tasted delicious..“

“Baylie was a rockstar waitress. My wife and I don’t come to Applebees often, but her service made us want to start coming back way more. She was super polite, friendly, timely, and accurate with taking orders. She deserves some recognition. Some would say “don’t reward someone for doing what is expected of their job”… but she did everything 110% of the way and it meant a lot to us. Thanks, Baylie!“

“It's been several years since I visited TJs and joined a friend for lunch. It's the same as it always was - great food, great service, large beer list if your looking for that. The French Onion Soup is always amazing and a great start to your meal or a great compliment with a salad for a meal itself!“

“Breakfast lunch dinner in Wayne pa Angelos cafe“

“Met a friend for dinner last night and everything was absolutely delicious. The salmon sliders were divine 😍, I would definitely order those 100 times. Thanks for a great dinner!“

“A great experience from start to finish“

“Great course and clubhouse. Friendly staff.“

“I absolutely love the charcoal pit. Been a customer since I was a kid. But what is up with the new French fries?? The fries that you always had before were way better and perfect rather than these new godaweful things. Please change back to the original ones. These SUCK 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“visited 214 on a whim for a quick Friday night out with a friend. Our server Brendon apologized for the delay in getting to our table, explaining that it had been a wild night and they were slightly understaffed (understandable, it was Valentine's Day). After that, though, he was attentive and friendly for the entire meal. The winter salad I ordered was enormous and although it could have used more dressing, it was still enjoyable. My friend's burger came with a generous portion of fries and was phenomenal. For drinks, I opted for their "dealer's choice" option that lets you roll three dice to create a unique off-menu cocktail. It was dangerously tasty and a generous pour. After dinner, we moved to the bar and chatted with the bar manager Jeremy, who was not only also incredibly friendly and great conversation, but knew his way around the bar and came up with another bespoke cocktail when they were out of an ingredient for the drink I originally wanted. Overall, a fantastic experience across the board and definitely my new favorite spot in Media.“

“Everything is so good and fresh! The dinner rolls are out of this world. So far we had the chicken pot pie, turkey, meatloaf and strawberry pie! Their sides are so delicious too especially the macaroni and potato salads! Thanks Rebecca for the affordable tasty food you bring to this area!“

“Great food and excellent service!“
