New American Restaurants near Upper Darby, PA

“My 8 year old grandson described the food as “a taste of the gates of heaven”. He wasn’t wrong. ♥️“

“Csar salad and salmon were So good and my husband said the roast bee was great. The dressing was real CeSR dressing Md I loved it.“

“Love the vibes and the people. Chef sounds like a great person, is passionate, and is interactive. Love the concept of focusing and showcasing local ingredients. So 5/5 for vibes and concept. 3/5 (maybe lower actually) for the food. From a technical perspective, everything was cooked properly, just not super exciting. It was like nice homestyle cooking. Felt like stuff my mom used to make growing up or like a menu that you would have if you got together with friends for a potluck or Friendsgiving. The wine list by the glass was not great. My 50/50 martini was solid.

3 drinks between 2 people along with the tasting menu and 1 $27 add on of rabbit pasta and with tip was around $350 for 2 people. You just expect a little more at that price point. Still a good time and nice to check it out once.“

“Fantastic menu; great atmosphere; friendly efficient staff; loved it.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“The food and service were outstanding! Our waitress was so sweet and so accommodating! The special touches for my husbands birthday were much appreciated and really sweet. Most restaurants don't do anything these days - nice to be somewhere and feel celebrated!!“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“Went with a friend for a last-minute reservation after another restaurant didn't work out. They got us in despite being quite busy, and the service couldn't have been better. Food was amazing - fresh and sizable enough portions to be filling even for traditional seafood. The heirloom tomato salad was amazing and the small plate sampler was perfect sizing with shrimp, scallops, crab legs and oysters.. Will def go back, and glad to have found such a great new spot!“

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN“

“. This place is fantastic. The place is clean and welcoming. We also had our grandson with us. We ordered the chicken sliders for him and they were very accommodating to just make it plain chicken. Between my husband and I we had the dumplings. Fish sliders, lamb lollipops, pork fried rice, chicken fried rice. Portions were good and the flavors of the dishes were great. The husband also ordered a Long Island ice tea. This is one of his favorites and they did not disappoint. For dessert we had the apple cinnamon cake. If they would have served it warm I would have died and gone to heaven. It reminded me of my mom’s apple cake she used to make.

We will be going back!!“

“One of my favorite spots to come to. Good and service is amazing!“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“Awesome food and excellent service I had a pasta night special!
kale & ricotta gnocchi, marinara, fennel, serrano jamon, broccolini comes w/ garlic bread & side caesar salad which was amazing. I highly recommend this place“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“We loved the cocktail (Johnny Two Step bourbon cocktail and a special made blueberry margarita). The cornbread and bone marrow were yummy and the special salmon. Burger and meatball pasta were wonderful. Our server (Mamadou) was wonderful, gave great recommendations when asked and super helpful. Can't wait to go back and next time I want to try the stuffed pretzel 🥨“

“Nice simple menu well done with a nice selection of wines. Friendly and professional service. I strongly recommend you make reservations; on a previous visit mid-week, we were turned away (or could have waited an hour+) because they were fully booked.“

“They could’ve charged an additional 25- 50% for their drinks & dishes without issues.
Everything was at pre-pandemic pricing.
Everything was delicious and tasty.
Can't believe a place like this existed in downtown Philadelphia!
Go try this place out before the crowd finds out and prices go up.“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Great place to hang out with friends for conversation and watching sports. Good variety of appetizers and drinks.“

“Pup friendly location with delicious menu!“

“food was good. service was good. however, don't bother asking for any substitutions....apparently the chef doesn't want you messing with their creations! i asked that my seared tuna come with a side salad instead of risotto & my friend asked for shoestring instead of regular fries with his sandwich. nope! not permitted! seriously??“

“Simply delicious! On time service for pickup today. Friendly staff. #stuffed!“

“Had dinner at Bar Sera for the first time in 2023-06-16 for a 7pm reservation. We got seated right away, not waiting at all. All our drinks and food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. We had the best server named Rachel. She had many tables but still was amazing, very attentive and would engage in conversation with us as. She made the dining experience so much better than any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The food overall was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you can, ask for Rachel, she won’t disappoint.“

“Awesome food and service! We will definitely be back.“

“Our dinner was outstanding! It may be the best salmon I’ve had to date. 👌🏼“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“I recommend especially the University of Pennsylvania Sabrina location The view is so nice is Windows all around it's well lit the staff is so extraordinary the food is fantastic and it comes out fast the place is clean it was not hard to find a parking spot I give this place five stars“

“Thank you to all tonight! We were celebrating the impending birth of our grandson with his other grandfather! Our children are 1st time parents!! Christina was perfection, knowledge and sweetness all at once! Everyone treated us great! Thank you Christine for all your help! Looking forward to returning w/ the new Mommy & Daddy! Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“Fantastic dining experience! The staff was exceptional and the food was out of this world. The tasting menu was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect.“

“DIG is the best!! Great variety of options, delicious sides, simple whole food ingredients, and consistently the freshest takeout food i've ordered.

My team at work has ordered DIG many times for team lunches, and they really are one of the best places for it. We all almost always do the custom bowls, because DIG has so many different protein/veggie/carb options to suit all customers. Each time we've ordered from them, the food is fresh, hot, crispy, well seasoned, and juicy. The portions are excellent, and a la carte additions like extra protein or additional sides aren't too expensive in the case that you're a bit hungrier. Even better so, most of their options aren't super greasy or oily - so its safe to say its one of the healthier options for center city takeout by far.

My go-to order is the custom bowl with charred chicken, sheet roasted carrots, couscous base, and kale cashew salad. Mixed all together with some of their garlic aioli and its a delightfully flavorful and filling combo. Their steak portions DO tend to be a bit smaller, but seeing as though its a decent cut (seems to be flank?) i feel thats to be expected.

We have yet to be disappointed by the various times we've ordered from them, so i strongly recommend giving them a chance next time you're having lunch or dinner cravings. Given how fresh everything tastes after enduring its delivery commute, i can only imagine how much better it tastes should you choose to dine in or pickup!“

“Such amazing and creative food, it was really good and the ambience was lovely outside! Server was so helpful with suggestions and food and drinks were fantastic!“

“my friends and I had a great dinner here. Great food & service I highly recommend this great restaurant in the park“

“We had a small party at Riverwinds on Saturday night. The food was excellent. However, the dessert package is a total ripoff! There was a plate of small desserts ( 1”square pieces of cake, 2 “ eclairs, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a tiny cannoli. There were not even enough for everyone to take one! When I asked for more the waitress said I should go to another table and see if they had anything! 😡😳 Definitely not worth $10 a person! RIPOFF!“

“Good food, great service, charming atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“The bartender, Colin Krouse, was AWESOME!!“

“The food was subpar. The prices are ridiculously high for the quality of the food. The service was average at best. Order a "vegan" burger for $17 which was just an impossible patty which came between a bunch that tasted and felt like cardboard. Also didn't come with fries. the drink photos in the menu are deceptive as they appear larger than the actual drinks received. Save yourself some money and have a better meal by going downstairs at the Grand Sierra Resort to Johnny Rockets.“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“Just ordered lunch for me and a coworker and we went with the chicken shawarma pitas. The portions were huge and so delicious! We will definitely be ordering again soon! 🥙👍🏻👍🏻“

“Best shrimp tacos in the neighborhood 😋“

“Great selection of freshly prepared and innovative food. Would definitely recommend the Mushroom Flatbread to share. Their “Fish & Chips” was delicious and boasted unique flavor combinations. Service is timely, and the ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Would come again if in the area.“

“We had our New Year Eve dinner there last night. The service was exceptional, and the food was delicious. I cannot recommend this too highly. First thing I did when I got home was join the club so I could get information about upcoming events. It was a great night, thank you to everyone.“
