50 Best American Restaurants near West Grove

“They were very busy, and the waitress let us know that, and that was absolutely fine. The food was some of the most bland I've ever had at a restaurant. My sister had to add salt, SALT, to her roasted beet salad because it was so lacking in flavor. The roasted pears weren't even cooked all the way, the pistachios on it were overcooked, the Brie was thin and mostly the outside shell with very little taste, and the bread slices were completely burned. The crab cake on the sandwich was tiny, and ice cold in the middle. The turkey apple grilled cheese was not even cooked all the way. The turkey and apple were as cold as ice, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I sent it back to be cooked better, and it came back the exact same temperature. I asked to speak to a manager, and they just took my meal off the bill and didn't even offer to compensate or do it better. The chef is a lazy person and needs to be put in line. someone call in Gordon Ramsay please!“

“Great little cafe. The food is always delicious. The kids love that you can order breakfast all day. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Parking: Plenty of parking as it is located within a shopping center

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly.“

“Everything was phenomenal. From the service to the food. Highly Recommend.“

“Dinner was excellent. Ordered lots on the menu and each was outstanding. The skate melted in your mouth. Tasted like chicken. Lamb carpaccio, pork steak, rainbow trout, ravioli, funghetti. Well worth it.“

“First time here and it was delicious!! Had the steak street tacos and churros. Churros are to die for!! Hot and cream in the middle!! The best I’ve ever had. Everything was great!!“

“what a great experience, working with the Stone Barn to Coordinate an amazing wedding! The staff and food were exceptional and it was great seeing everyone working together to make an amazing day for our couple.“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“Lettie’s catered our Fantasy Football party and everyone RAVED about the food!! The chicken was absolutely delicious. Tom made everything so easy. 100% recommend and can’t wait to use Lettie’s again! Keep up the great work!“

“Muy buena comida! Y el servicio súper bien! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great burgers, great service“

“The Back Burner has a gem in Patty. The food is always dependable, and the wine list is surprisingly reasonable for some good quality wines. I think all of these things contribute to the restaurant's staying power in Hockessin.“

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,“

“Our favourite go to in Chester County! Terrific atmosphere, great staff. John runs the show and is fantastic. We come here casually during the day or for a night out. The bar is wonderful, dining room wonderful. Great for families, couples or singles“

“Great drinks, good food, fabulous staff. The crowd always rocks! Supports local live music! Ride the Goat loves playing this venue!“

“Fun but challenging track. Beautiful property. Can’t wait to go back.“

“2FG knocked it out of the park for our daughter's wedding! Jeff made the planning phase and menu selection easy, he took the time to make a visit required to the venue, and made sure all of our guests had a great dinner within our budget. There was something for everyone to enjoy. Our guests especially raved about the brisket! We will absolutely use them again for future events 🌟“

“Nice quiet place good food“

“Administrative details - While you usually must make a reservation a year in advance (which I did), there are a very few earlier spots available on their website. In addition, if you are on the email list, they send the occasional last-minute availability. Talula’s is BYOB. The price was $125 and with all the other things, taxes, gratuities, it came to $160. The Nook Table is available for 6-8 diners and the Farm Table is for larger parties. Website link is below. Everything is presented in “tasting” small portions. In addition to the menu, they provided a couple of additional offerings. I did not do a good job of capturing the delightful descriptions of the food provided by our server. (The next time I go, I will video the descriptions if they allow.) The group did a great job of bringing wine which was beautifully poured in appropriate glassware by our server. The server also paired the wine with the offerings for us! The service was exceptional without being pretentious. After each tasting, plates, utensils and glasses were cleared and refurbished so discreetly that you hardly noticed. The menu changes with the “farm to table” availability. My favorite was a squash tarte. [I was delighted to find that I did not like the foie gras. It is “made” in a most inhumane and horrible way. This is the only time I have eaten it and I will never eat it again.] I was sorry to find that by the Black Garlic Beef Ribeye (#6 on the list), I was getting to the point of “too much food.” The only downsides were “too much food” for most of us and the wines they suggested for the pairings were hard/impossible to find. I personally did not like the varieties of wines they suggested for pairings. The rest of the party enjoyed the comparable wines they were able to find and allowed the server to pair with the tastings. I will be making a reservation for next year very soon. I have already made a reservation for the “sister” Talula’s Garden in Philly for September.“

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.“

“Great food and great service!“

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

“What a great way to be served, fast, efficient and reliable. Great food and great coffee…“

“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“

“Was there today at 2:00 p.m.... Our server was Alexis, great smile, great attitude, great service, she was excellent. Food was excellent and came out promptly. It was a 50 mile drive one way, but, worth it... We will return there after we come back from vacation. Btw, we're staying at a hotel in Naples Florida 58 feet from Hooters...“

“Took grandkids to 896 Pie today after a swim in the pool. Great service and amazing pizza. Brent is the owner and he was so friendly and engaged with his customers. All the grandkids and two adults enjoyed the perfectly cooked pizza. Thanks for a great visit“

“I've been there four times, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner. Food, Ambiance, Service, each somewhere between Very Good and Excellent.“

“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.“

“Safe place to have a delicious meal and catch up with family and friends!“

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

“Great place! Site of our first date, were back last night. Great experience at the bar, capped off by Patrick buying us dinner as an engagement gift. Thanks all, but especially Patrick!!“

“We were visiting Newark for a furry convention nearby and my partner and I got stuck in a random hailstorm on our way to Chipotle down the street. We took cover in Home Grown and found out it's got a large selection of vegan selections, which was a surprise! We took the opportunity for a date and our server, Dana, was wonderful. They introduced us to the restaurant and gave us an overview of the menu, specials, and their favorite drink. We ended up ordering the Maple Barbecue seitan wings, the casserole style loaded fries, the seitan birria tacos, the winter mac, and Dana's favorite drink, the Bird by Bird. The drink was amazing and a perfect choice with all of the food being incredible. I wish there was one near where we live. What an absolutely wonderful date.“

“Great food laid back atmosphere“

“We love Two Stones! The happy hour specials are great. Service is always friendly and fast. We come at least once a week, per our toddler’s request. I am gluten free and this is one of the places locally I feel comfortable eating because they always take precautions. Good for the entire family.“

“Easter Buffet was extra special with a variety of entrees. The menu included a wide variety of seafood, ham, roast beef along with vegetables, rolls, and some great desserts. We will be visiting the restaurant again for my husband's birthday. He loved the food so much he selected it for a family celebration. Take some time to dine at Wesley's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.“

“The manager was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived very late and the kitchen was closed but he offered us a few pizza options and we were more than grateful!! Pizza was delicious and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and really appreciate how customer friendly everyone was.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Some friends and I went to Catch45 for lunch yesterday and we had great food and conversation. We were there for nearly four hours. The ambiance was nice and the food plentiful and delicious. We had beef patties, fried plantains two ways, jollof rice, red beans, attike and the yummy sauces. The staff was amazing in sharing their culture through exploring the menu with us, making recommendations, and ensuring we enjoyed everything. We were offered complimentary dishes to try and lots of attention was given. We can’t wait to go back again. Thanks for a great dining experience.“

“Really enjoyed the food here and I like that it is community owned. The prices are also very reasonable and the food is super fresh. I got the buffalo chicken panini and my sister-in-law got the 302 BLT. I tried a bite of the BLT and it was delicious. The panini was also fantastic. I highly recommend visiting here and trying the food. It is also attached to a grocery store.“

“Food is great! Great service! Jeff introduced himself to me at a recent buffet and asked me to be careful since I do not wear shoes. Class act. Thanks! My friends and I will come again.“

“My family and I go to Letty's every week or so. Although the restaurant area has plenty of charafter, we like to sit in the bar area for the atmosphere since there's usually live music. We have our “go to” meals ..: Steak Frittes, which are the best around (even in fancy reataurents). The Cliftonian pizza is also a favorite! While Letty's is laid back, the service is awesome.“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Best subs on the planet. Service is outstanding.“

“I love this eatery, we ride out on Sundays for Brunch“

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

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“my first visit I tried the chicken alfredo pizza and fell in love, it was delicious 😋 then the second visit I went for a cheese steak, I am definitely hooked to this restaurant. I would highly recommend this place to try, you will not be disappointed! Also, the staff on the phone & in person were very friendly and helpful....GREAT SERVICE👍“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“

“went sunday for brunch! the food was really good, but that espresso martini was amazing! it was really busy but our server Ashley was awesome!“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.“
