50 Best American Restaurants near Thornton

“Nice setting in the countryside. Lots of outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. The food was okay but I wouldn't recommend their Reuben. There was very little meat. Maybe two teaspoons at best...mostly sauerkraut and cheese. I searched my sandwich to try to find a little small chip of meat to give to the dogs. It was definitely cut so tiny and spread so thinly, that I couldn't even find any. The fries were awesome. Crispy and tasty. The bratwurst was good as well. They have live music inside as well which was a nice touch.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“Excellent selections and fantastic service!“

“Great food, great beer. Enjoy the changing, weekly variety of chefs specials.

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“can’t believe I waited so long to try here! everything was awesome - from the hostess greeting us to the environment to our meal/desserts. the restaurant itself is so cute and cozy. the food was absolutely delicious. I had the pork belly and it was incredible! everything on the snack menu is meant to come out within minutes which i am a huge fan of. we had the chips and the korean cracker jacks - they were both great as well. cannot wait to come back!“

“ALWAYS get a delicious sandwich“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Mike provided our group an excellent customer service …“

“😍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.“

“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!“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fun environment, nice crowd“

“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 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“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.“

“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 🙂“

“Dear God, Andiario. Quirky wine list, honest hospitality, genuinely cared for produce. What the hell else could you ask for? So blindsided that I’d dare say that this is the best dinner I’ve ever had. And yet, a layman can still enjoy it— if you can steal a reservation. Michelin Guide was built on places like this.“

“Been a patron of this Applebees for years and found it silly how I haven't given a review yet. Never had any issues here. Rather the experience was in person or through an online order. The staff is always courteous and lovely. There's been some occassions in ehich the manager eould come around asking of how the staff service is. And I never recall being dissatisfied while here. Wish I could be a bit more critical but I always know what to expect when I come here. Good food and good people.

If I would critique anything, there were only a handful of times in which a staff member had us waiting a bit for curbside...but one just has to take into account that this is a restaurant in which the employees are working together but also on top of taking care of the customers who are dining in. And when the service was a bit late, the employees were always very courteous by giving an apology or communicating the wait time to us out in the cars. Once again, I give them total grace as it's a rare occasion.“

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!“

“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 🩵🙏“

“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!“

“We had a great time! The beers were cheap and the band was fun. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Quizzo on Tuesday night is a fun time!“

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

“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!“

“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..“

“Very nice and friendly owner and staff. Food always delicious 😋 Very clean cozy environment 👌“
