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!“

“Sat at sidewalk table on this beautiful day. Hostess sat us promptly. Server was spot on with drinks, food (special requests) and checking back. French toast was extra thick and cooked perfectly. Eggs were average. Sausage link was plump and tasty. Good and plentiful coffee.“

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

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

“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!!“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“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.“

“Great burgers, great service“

“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!“

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,“

“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.“

“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“

“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 🌟“

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

“If you have not been to the new restaurant at Wyncote Golf Club, run don’t walk because you are missing out! We have been numerous times and we leave happy and satisfied every time. Their handmade crafted cocktails are amazing. I am in love with the espresso martini. As for the food, every dish that we have had was a taste sensation. I had the shepherds pie and it put one of our local English Pub’s shepherds pie to shame! And it’s made with lamb, as it should be. We can not wait to go back! Well done Wynecote!“

“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“

“Nice quiet place good food“

“Always great food at two stones. This is our local location, but we've been to three other locations. Great value for great food. One thing I would suggest is, get rid of those long rectangular plates. Nothing stays on them correctly. That's all.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

“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...“

“The menu is creative and thoughtful, with exciting and well-balanced flavor combinations that take everything more than a few notches above basic pub fare. And we were similarly impressed with the drink menu; the ones we tried were, like the menu items, creative, thoughtful and well-balanced. All for an incredible value -- our family of four (including two teen boys!) ate very well for about $100, including two cocktails. Thank you HomeGrown! Can't wait to come back!“

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

“As a person who has frequented many restaurants and establishments in my life this is my real opinion. I had a 40 year career with one major corporation dealing with customer service and sales. I tend to judge places on what was expected of me being successful in my life. There are way too many places where customer service is lacking. I tend to avoid them and spend my money where people appreciate their customers. Today it's very rare when a GM sets the standard for the other employees to follow. Two Stones Pub GM, Mallary is excellent. She is engaging to all the customers, assists with the bartenders and servers. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often. If you haven't been there I highly recommend going there.“

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

“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 laid back atmosphere“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and great service!“

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

“My fiancé and I have been wanting to try more local restaurants and Letty’s did not disappoint. The food was delicious, and we left full. The service started out rocky but we understood because they were busy. The worst part of our experience is that the place is very loud and was hard to hear each other.“

“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.“

“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👍“

“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!“

“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.“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“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.“

“We love going to Hank's. The food is great, and the staff is amazing. 5 Stars!!!“

“went last night as I got my birthday pak and they were one of the restaurants in the program. I got the Cobb salad and it was very good. I had never been there before and I will be back.“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“

“just had lunch and ordered a few things. our food came out swiftly and everything was cooked to perfection. the restaurant was quiet, but peaceful. Kevin was our server and made us feel extremely welcome. he was super attentive, efficient, and just overall very kind. highly recommend requesting his service when dining at IHOP on Capitol Trail.“
