“A great choice for a Christing Party at my house .While we were all at the mass and the baptism (2hr) They came and set up a complete buffet for 25. My dining room table looked amazing. I walked into my amazing smelling house ( like it smells when I cook all day) and did nothing but eat and talk to my guests. That is priceless. The veal parm was an excellent choice as was the penne with rosa sauce. I got many compliments on the food. Bread was delicious. I will do this again. Maybe my Thanksgiving dinner?? Ha no Don't think I can get away with that one.... but definitely my next eagles party!!.“
“I recently had my wedding hosted at Lia's Catering/ Ballrooms at Boothwyn and it was the best decision we ever made!! Everything went so smoothly! We had our ceremony in their lounge room, and it fit our huge wedding guestlist so well! It was so beautiful in the ceremony room - we did an arch from Bonnie's Wonder Garden! Then we had cocktail hour in the Sapphire room - which was just outside the lounge room, so everybody loved being able to get to each room so fast! Then we had our reception in the Main Ballroom - all in the same building! Perfect for a winter wedding. Everything was so beautiful!! We were so appreciative by how nice, kind, patient the staff all are. We had a planner that took care of all of the details. Coordinating our wishes went so easily! I cannot recommend Lia's enough for hosting a wedding. Absolutely stunning - and for a much better price than overpriced venues in the area!“
“I ordered food from Food For Thought for my annual Christmas Eve dinner. I ordered turkey, mashed potatoes, string beans, and rice. Everything was delicious. I must say the mashed potatoes were my fave. Soooo good!! Beautiful presentation. Well seasoned. Great portions. Reasonably priced. I was 100% satisfied and all of my holiday guests were too. Everyone commented on how tasty everything was. I would definitely recommend Food For Thought. Everyone I interacted with was very courteous and professional. Already looking forward to when I can utilize them for another event.“
“We used Sherm's for a work event, and the food was amazing. I have been searching for years for the perfect potato salad and there it was with my turkey sandwich. The delivery driver was early and set up before the time I needed him. He was very friendly. I saved some water for my son, and he said it was the best. I had to save some for school. I recommend Renee and her staff 200%. We will use them again.“
“Jamestown Catering provided great food and a very professional staff for my sons wedding. When he decided to try and pull it off within weeks, they stepped up and made it happen, successfully. Everyone had a great time and the experience was easy and food, rentals and details all were taken care of. Thanks for making this a magical experience !!“
“I recently had the opportunity to try Sid's BBQ, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The brisket with KC BBQ sauce was a standout dish that left me craving more. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend giving Sid's BBQ a try for a flavorful and satisfying meal that will surely leave you coming back for more.“
“It’s a unique establishment with a lot of variety on the menu, and, no matter which creation you try, the taste is Epic!! The owner takes pride in running the business and the food you get here cannot be matched by some chain restaurant. I love it so much.“
“I used Cedar Creek for a Black History Event I was hosting through my job. The theme of the event was a tea party and Cedar Creek did an amazing job. CJ and Chrysta were great to work with when planning the menu. We decided on three different tea sandwiches. I also rented tea cups/saucers and real plates from them. They provided clothlike napkins, disposable silverware, sugars, cream, hot water for tea. On the day of the event CJ delivered everything on time and even help us set up the tables. When the guests arrived they were impressed by the table settings but when they tasted the food they were blown away. The sandwiches were made on freshly baked bread and the fillings were quality ingredients. You could taste in every bite. The food was the star of the show and I have Cedar Creek to thank for that. I would highly recommend and will be using them again.“
“We used Jems to cater our small wedding and we’re blown away with the quality of food and service. We ordered the Essentials catering option that came with choice of 4 entrees and 4 sides. Everything was delivered hot and delicious and was a ton of food. Great value! All of our guests raved about the food. Especially the eggplant Parm. Emily was very helpful with the ordering process and the delivery person Melissa was friendly and did a great job setting everything up. Would highly recommend Jems for any party.“
“This place is a hidden Gem Reminds me of my days as a boy living in South Philly. There were great corner stores on every corner. Placed a phone order. Go there no excuses. No problem. Everything fresh, delicious and ready. The workers were friendly and helpful. This is a great place. I will be back.“
“Amazing all the way around. Great service, amazing food, and the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted.As you walk in, it can be a little disorienting with so much going on but as you begin to take it in you see how important the local hero’s are. These guys care about the men and women who serve our country. The staff greeted me warmly and when they discovered it was my first time they spent time walking me through the whole menu and explaining the style of food. A gentleman gave me a coupon for a free sandwich as a gift for my first time.I ordered the pulled pork with a side of Mac and cheese. Amazing. Man did it hit! They have lemonade and sweet tea, but I mixed it half and half and my gosh. The food was literally some of the best I had. I used the mission belle and smokehouse sauce. They offer 6 hot sauces on the table. Lisa was cleaning and serving the table, she helped me so much, was very attentive, and cleaned up the table for us. I was taken back.Lisa then offered me a free dessert as a first time visitor. I’ll truly never forget the service and food and can’t wait to bring my family back.I recommend this place wholeheartedly. I had the best time and it was money well spent. The staff is responsive and well trained and so welcoming. You won’t have a bad time here I promise!Shoutout to Lisa, and the Spanish gentleman (was it Justin?) for truly making my first time special.“
“It's been about two years that we've been purchasing meats (and much more) from the Meat House. I have never thought to express my praise through a much deserved review. The 4.7 average seems a little low to me (LOL). Our own personal experiences have been 5-star each and every time...even when I call on the phone. Their customer service is consistently exemplary, up to, and including, the owner when he's there. He can relay his experience with A5 wagyu, in Japan no less, to you. I've never been told no to any request. They are one of the true old school butcher shops of yesteryear, prioritizing customers' wants and needs. A varied, wide selection of quality meats and gourmet, yes, gourmet products. Tons of gourmet sauces and dressings, tons of rubs and spices for BBQing and other forms of cooking, wood pellets for grilling, exquisite in-house deli turkey, A5 Japanese wagyu steaks, bison, venison, wild boar, gator sausages, duck, ostrich, rabbit...need I say more? A couple of the standouts to me thus far have been their pre-rubbed St. Louis ribs and twice baked potatoes. But the pièce de résistance has been the marinated Brazilian steak tips!! My goodness! Those jawns was crazy (in my north Philly dialect and verbiage)!!! See, we love and appreciate quality food and customer service, since I work in food service, and am a cashier at my evening job. This place will have you excited and returning time and time again. Trust me/us.“
“Top quality meats. The very best steaks around. Pricey but worth it. Love their speciality burgers, including cheddar, mushroom, etc. Good premade sides like their stuffed baked potato can feed two people. They also carry true fryer chickens rather than those gigantic chicken pieces. Marinated London broil and Greek marinated chicken are just a few of their meal options.“
“Just wanted to let you know everything was great on Saturday.Your food was amazing, all the guests commented on the variety and tasty entries.Bruce was awesome. He served and cleaned up beautifully!I gave Dotty's a shout out and I hope you get some referrals from our shower.I will certainly use you again for our future catering needs.Cheers,Susanne“
“It's not very often I go to the courthouse cafe but when I do Lorrie behind the counter is the nicest person. She probably doesn't realize how she can make people's day with her attitude considering not many people want to be at court anyway. The food and prices are great as well.“
“I attended an event here. I found the place very updated, definitely had a nice bar and the food at the event was above average. Parking was confusing but ample. As you know if you have read other reviews I have given, I only give 5 stars for exceptional service and food.“
“I absolutely love The Pure Truth Culinary Services! I’ve purchased items at a local farmers market, order their meal prep services and I’ve ordered event catering. The meals are always fresh and delicious, and the service is always prompt and professional. Pictured below is honey garlic shrimp w/yellow rice and mixed veggies; a dish I recently ordered through their meal prep services.“
“We used Plum Catering for my daughter's wedding and they delivered, big- time! The food was amazing and delicious, the presentation wonderful and the servers were so friendly. We enjoyed delicious apps, served creatively. Especially delicious was their salmon, sage ravioli and bacon- wrapped dates-- yummy! And everyone loved their variation on grilled cheese with tomato soup, perfect for a fall event. Highly recommend for special occasion catering that won't break the bank.“
“Our wedding was absolutely amazing, and it all started with the venue. My fiance and I visited maybe 4-5 venues, each with their unique offerings, but none with the right balance. We'd been to a wedding at The Waterfall before touring ourselves and it was an absolute blast of an experience; so we're naturally curious about what they had to offer. Our coordinator throughout our entire journey, Abigail, ran the tour and obviously we'd seen the place in person before. What sold us was what we were getting for the cost. We were impressed by the amount of food our guests were receiving, the style and cuisines and were very much sold on the fact that they were training their chefs on Indian and African cuisines. Many other venues did not even have the option for us to bring in our food choices, or a majority of the cost was going towards some part of the package that we didn't care about and could not un-elect. Our guests complimented the food selection most of all, they did not expect such a large array and indeed wished they had more space to carry it all!Another great perk which came along was a newly renovated suite which gave us the space and ability to get what we needed to eat done before the ceremony and before the reception. Lighting options for the ballroom were also very wide and helped us set the right atmosphere for the reception. The option to decide between and outdoor and indoor ceremony up til the day of was also very much appreciated (other venues required notice well in advance which doesnt make any sense given the unpredictability of weather; luckily for us it was a lightly overcast day.)Transacting with the Waterfall was very seamless and they were always willing to work with us be it extra services we requested for an game we played during our wedding day or answering our incessant questions about what could and could not be done; Abigail was patient and extremely helpful with us through it all. We shared numerous emails and phone calls confirming different aspects of the day, because you really can't remember everything in one go and as you get closer the more real it becomes and finer the details need to become.We had a worry when we tasted the Indian food offerings during their annual open house, which was months before our wedding. We were able to relay our concerns and Abigail worked with us and the Head Chef to ensure things went as smooth as possible for our Big Day. The point person/captain they appointed for the day ensured everything went on time, as well and was available at key points through the day.Honestly, as things were getting hectic through the few weeks leading up, for some reason it felt like Abigail and The Waterfall were taking care of what needed to be taken care of, so it felt like that past was actually getting easier. We really appreciate everything they did on their end to ensure such a perfect day for us. We had bot a traditional Indian ceremony and a reception onsite and between the Waterfall staff and our vendors we didn't have to worry about anything.It was also delightful to see some of the Waterfall staff enjoying themselves to the music and even our photobooth; we absolutely loved seeing the pictures our vendors sent us.For any folks getting married soon, get married here! The Waterfall will make your entire experience seamless and memorable!Thank you, Abigail and the Waterfall Staff!“
“We had booked a party for 20 people on February 17th 2024 under name of Dianne my family and guests were amazed at the atmosphere and the quality and portions of the food. The servers we incredible way to go .we order atleast once a week from u .thanks “

“We hosted our daughters wedding at the Carriage House on August 11th 2023. Venue could not have been better. Mike, the owner, was outstanding in accommodating our group of 180 people and went beyond the call of duty at the end of the evening when we were locked out of the truck we were planning to store the wedding gear in. Food was amazing, which is not surprising given the Brandywine Prime connection, and the staff were extremely professional and friendly. We would highly recommend the Carriage House as a wedding venue set in the grounds of Rockwood Park, the aesthetics match the service.“
“Chef Michael has been catering our community events for over 15 years and never disappoints. He has served buffet din ers, luncheons & butlered hors d'oeuvres for over 125 guests at times. BBQ's, Holiday parties, Bingo lunches & more. Chef Michael is flexible working to fit our needs and his staff are professional, prompt and courteous. The food he prepares is top shelf and suits everyone's taste.“
