50 Best American Restaurants near Chester Springs

“Took myself here for a solo date night (Saturday 8pm). Excellent experience from start to finish. Most importantly, I was greeted with a big smile! The 2 hostesses were beyond sweet and extremely helpful when I couldn’t decide where to sit.There was a live band playing and the atmosphere overall was laidback and comfortable (St. Patrick’s Day weekend).The St Paddy’s Martini was DELICIOUS, it tasted like mint chocolate chip. I’ve had takeout plenty of times, so I knew the food would be good! My servers, a young lady with cute temporary eye tattoo for the holiday (whose name I didn’t catch) & Drew, were both attentive and polite!10/10 Recommend“

“Went there today for lunch. Well, the staff is friendly but I don't dig the QR code ordering deal. I would like to be waited on by courteous staff and leave a generous tip. In the end, we did have to ask them to please take our order because there were some things in the app that were not clear. The staff was nice, but it is highly suggested that they tend to the clientele just a bit more in the beginning to see if someone really would like to have table service. I didn't feel like I was walking into a cafeteria or self-service fast food restaurant, and that actually was a plus. But I expect the service to go along with it. I don't personally agree with pooling the tips. When someone waits on a table and does a great job, they should get the tip, but I guess if a lot of people order on their own, that could be difficult in the end for the full staff. I saw the special note about the plans for hiring different individuals and that is great. I just think there are some bugs to be worked out most likely.“

“It's a great place to eat; you feel like you have a one-on-one chef serving you. You place your order; it is served hot filled with excellent taste and outstandingly prepared with freshness. Cost is more than fair a pleasure to eat here. The atmosphere is quiet and you feel very welcome to be here.“

“Might be our favorite place to get burgers. Never had a remotely bad experience here. Service has always been good and for a bar, it’s not too loud. Even when there’s live music, you can still have a conversation. Love coming here and can’t wait to go back.“

“Tom was our server. He was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. The deserts were a perfect end to a wonderful dinner. We also stayed the night in the Franklin Suite! It was so roomy and very comfortable. What a wonderful Birthday evening and night! Thank you so much to the entire staff for such a fine meal and experience!“

“A really nice and cozy place! Would recommend taking your kids there. The workers are nice. It doesn’t take too long to get a seat or get food. Everything tastes good and everything is pretty clean. There is plenty of options for food and drinks. I love going here for breakfast. One of my favorite breakfast places in West Chester.“

“The service was top notch. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure that all of her guests are pleased with their experience. The waiter staff are also very personable and friendly. As for the food, I found my meal last night to be absolutely delicious and so did my fiancée. I had a Shrimp and Scallop St. Jacques which was such an amazing dish and crème brûlée for desert which was wonderful. My fiancée had the Seared Halibut and loved her dinner.“

“First time here with a small group. The restaurant had a positive vibe, the waitstaff were polite, service fast and efficient. The menu was appealing and interesting. I chose the Acapulco Fish Tacos with Mahi Mahi, mango, avocados, greens. They were absolutely delicious. I will be returning to try other amazing menu choices.“

“I have been there a few times now, but the last 2 times I will have to say have been the best experiences. It could have just been my mood or my friends, but a huge part of the experience I know was Jade she was an amazing server, making us laugh and have an amazing outing. Between her jokes smile and conversations with us and the atmosphere was great, our tab has never been outrageous either!“

“We generally have breakfast there, the staff moves about like interpretive dancers serving the patrons, cleaning tables but the real show is in the kitchen, everyone has a job and the staff helps each other out, truly a local landmark to be enjoyed and no other can take it's place.“

“What a great lunch! I'm an old geezer who can't eat the huge half-pound burgers other places tout, but the 1/4-pound smashburger here is perfect! I had the Top Cat, with lettuce, tomato, avocado, red onions, and feta cheese, with a side of tasty potato wedges. My wife enjoyed her B.A.L.T. - a BLT on white with avocado and chipotle aioli. The coffee was great, our host and hostess were friendly, and the bill didn't put us in the poorhouse. We'll be back!“

“Came here for my birthday brunch and the food did not disappoint! There were a decent amount of vegetarian options to choose from. My sandwich was a good sized portion and was delicious, and the cocktail I had was excellent. They came out very quickly too. It’s cute inside, but my only complaint is that the tables are very very close together so we were kind of uncomfortably close to other guests. I’d be interested in checking out the patio next time.“

“The Food was good! The inside is super cool and there is a ton of parking. The service was SLOOOOOOOWWWWW. I think it was because it was a Thursday and very busy, but it really was a bit painful. I'm hoping it was just a fluke, so no need to dock any stars. We will be back :-)“

“My wife and I had a great Friday night out at Rivertown Taps. We ordered the burrata to start and then a burger and the Mediterranean grilled cheese. Had a couple beers from the serve-yourself taps as well. The best part was sitting at the counter and watching the chefs preparing all the food. I would highly recommend it for a fun night out In Phoenixville. We will definitely be back to try the wings and some fried pickles and maybe the fries, and some burnt ends… they all looked good.“

“I just ate here tonight for the first time in at least ten years and it's even better than I remember from coming here as a kid. We went for my dad's 70th birthday and though it was busy as all hell our server (I think her name was Brianne) was awesome and totally on point. My brother better have tipped well.I had a Buffalo chicken steak which was amazing, my only complaint is that the Buffalo sauce was a little light and the fried onions were only slightly browned. Fortunately there was a delicious habañero hot sauce bottle on the table that made the steak mostly perfection.I'm not at all disappointed and will be returning.“

“The food and the experience was great. Definitely try the maple vinaigrette if you have a salad.Parking: There is a small lot behind the building, a small lot in front of the building, and a small lot across the street. Otherwise, parking is pretty difficult to find. Catching an Uber to get here is a good idea if you're close enough to make it economical.“

“I have never been to Sedona, but it was highly recommended through Facebook friends. When I arrived, I love the atmosphere. It’s clean . I love the vibe. The waitress Adrian went above and beyond for everything. We had an issue with the food that we ordered, not realizing that it contains some things in it and we were able to eat, but they took very good care of us., Will definitely be back!“

“This is one of those places that’s a hidden gem that’s been around for a long time. The owner is hands-on, which makes the experience even better. The food is phenomenal and the service is second to none. It’s a great place to go in the winter with several fireplaces as well as an opportunity to eat at the bar it’s recommended that you call ahead.“

“We stopped in because the other place had too long of a wait & we are so glad we did! The service was exceptional and quick, food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Not a lot of restaurants give me that “impressed” kind of feeling, but this one sure did. Our waitress even chased us down when our keys were left! If we are ever in town again we will definitely be back.“

“The food consistently delights with his delicious and fresh flavors. The portions are generous and sharing the satisfying dining experience. The service is characterized by its friendly and efficient nature and sharing the customers are promptly attended to.“

“The coffee tastes so good compared to other diners. Their food is served hot, and stays hot for some time. The omelets are very delicious and a perfect amount of ingredients. The pancakes are soft and fluffy. We just started coming here because we got tired of the other places, and we're happy we did.“

“So for starters, we have been going to Kelly’s since I was pregnant with my now 4 year old daughter. I love this place. It just feels like you are at home enjoying a meal with your family. Great service and great food. It’s that feeling of “Welcome! Take a seat,my home is your home”. We love it.“

“Already familiar with the Springfield location and happened to be in the West Chester area and figured we'd stop in.Dining room was empty for a Thursday afternoon but that's fine with us .Ordered 2 combos with gravy fries. As usual, it was excellent. Our waitress was prompt and professional.Always a good experience at Nick's.“

“This is a wonderful family friendly atmosphere. Fantastic food, even better drinks, and they are all so friendly and supportive of the community! I love to get the Green Goddess Bowl (with the perfectly cooked salmon), then splurge of either a sweet martini or a homemade dessert. In good weather, Ill bring my dog to eat on the patio and watch kayakers pass. 10/10..did I mention they have parking?!?“

“The absolute best breakfast spot in the area! The sweetest servers and owner, excellent prices, and everything is so fresh and homemade. Great place to sit outside when it's warm out. It is small inside so at high traffic times it might be hard to get a seat. You must try the Jewish apple cake! Delicious!“

“This place is amazing! Between the food and the staff everything is always spot on here! I love there chicken tenders, hand cut fries, chicken quesadillas, and their Cesar salad! You can tell the staff loves their jobs and what they do! Really a perfect breakfast / lunch spot in Malvern!“

“Visited a very long time ago (2007) whilst working in Wayne (business trip from England) and it was a wonderful experience. Great food, nice staff, pretty building and a relaxed atmosphere. Hope to come back again one day. Sorry it’s taken so long to share my review. ??“

“Great place to grab to-go lunches for your picnic or day out! The boxes come with all the silverware and napkins you need and the food is packaged well. The egg salad sandwiches and the potato salad hit the spot on a warm day and each boxed meal comes with a deviled egg. They did forget to include some of the items in our group's boxes.“

“I almost don't want to do this because I don't want too many people to find out about it! This has to be the greatest little bar in the Philadelphia area! We sat with Kathy at the bar who made us outstanding holiday cocktails that we've never had anywhere before. If I could give her six stars I would!“

“I had a dining wonderful experience while here! My server Erin with 2 N’s brought my food out in a timely manner and made sure to refill our beverages as soon as they got low! The wings I had were cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“Wonderful everything. Food was awesome. Service was great. Wonderful environment. We had told our Waitress it was our anniversary and when she brought out our desert, she had light candles on it and all. It was very sweet. Great place to celebrate special events.“

“Great service and atmosphere. Hubby had the chicken sandwich and upgraded fries (old bay and a side of cheese sauce), which he said was good, I had the BLT. Per usual just about anywhere, the BLT was lacking in the amount of bacon. I removed it from one side and added it to the other, so I ate half a sandwich. Bacon wasn’t cooked to my liking. I would definitely go back and get something different. The burger that passed by my table looked delicious!“

“Artillery Brewing was nothing short of helpful and accommodating when hosting my engagement party. Their WC location was the perfect amount of room to fit 50/60 people comfortably for a social gathering. Their catering menu was diverse to fit everyone’s tastebuds. Most importantly the atmosphere and the staff’s hospitality really made Artillery stand out! Great staff, food, and beer and would highly recommend for a private party!“

“The Bucktown Grille recently catered a Baby Shower for us. They provided awesome service from planning the menu to delivery and set up. The food was amazing. My personal favorites are the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and of course, the Shrimp Bisque. We received so many compliments about the food, everything was excellent. Highly recommend the Bucktown Grille for your next event!!“

“Pleasantly surprised. We got the crispy calamari to start, the pan roasted duck and the fettuccine Alfredo. The entrees were well made and balanced in terms of palette. My only remark about the food was that the calamari was not crispy but more on the soggy end.Not the greatest atmosphere but the food is what you’d come for.“

“Went on a Friday night around 9 pm. Ordered a couple beers and then attempted to order some food and we were told the kitchen was already closed. This was unexpected since it was a weekend and they are open til 11. Anyway, the beers were good, the bar was packed, the employees were nice, but damn were we disappointed that the kitchen closed so early. Saw some people eating burgers that looked amazing. So after a few beers we left for a place that served food later.“

“It is always a delightful experience to visit this establishment, as they offer an impressive selection of delectable food and beverages. Although there was a slight error in the preparation of my drink during my last visit, I do not hold this against them. My fondness for this establishment remains unwavering, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit. Furthermore, they consistently stock my preferred beer, Innis & Gunn, which adds to the overall enjoyment of my visits.“

“This is a really nice place to stop by and grab something to eat, super casual and laid back and the outdoor area is dog friendly. They even brought my buddy some water, the service was excellent. I highly recommend the onion soup and Reuben sandwich. My husband ordered the Carolina pulled pork sandwich and it was also really good. The drinks are on the pricier side, $14 for a hot cider so definitely something to keep in mind when ordering. The food was fairly priced. Overall i recommend this place and definitely would return.“

“Great place with really good food and drinks. The staff provides great service and the owner, Frank, is a very nice guy. The holiday dinners to go are so freaking good too.Vegetarian options: I had a grilled veggie sandwich with was very good.“

“Excellent place to have breakfast request onions on your home fries, soothing good 2 eggs over medium home fries, and rye toast, or have the #5, it's excellent the picture is what a guy next to me had, two poa he'd eggs, not sure what there over, but it looked like a 5 star restaurant meal.“

“Classic American fare. The focus here is on cranking out the goooood grub. Get The Loaded hotdog and thank me after. Fries are crisp. I don't come here as often as I should, and the prices are reasonable enough that I don't have an excuse. Order at the counter. Quick takeout service too.Parking: It's in a strip mall with a big parking lot.“

“We tried Stove & Tap for the first time on Saturday night in West Chester. The host & waitstaff were all incredibly friendly, the restaurant itself was clean, it was definitely a bit on the louder side but it was pretty busy when we went (we made reservations in advance). Like other reviews have mentioned, the menu is limited and we did feel like there was somewhat of a lack of variety. However, the food and drinks we did order were great and arrived quickly. We would definitely go back again just for the Wagyu Sliders alone.“

“The French toast is the best I've ever had! The eggs were great. Sides were all decent sized and very tasty. Prices have gone up a little from the menu posted online at the time of this post. (My French toast was a dollar more). But the prices are still excellent! National breakfast places cannot compete with Bistro 24. Don't miss the bakery case whatever time you go! The service is outstanding!!! The atmosphere is nice and great for anyone including families. They are NOT currently open 24 hours so if you want to go after 9:30 pm call to check their hours first! Bistro 24 is a fantastic restaurant that I highly recommend and we will most definitely be back!“

“Dropped in here for brunch while on a bike ride. Got the mimosa brunch board for 2. That included 2 mimosas and enough food for two to share. Plus some aperol spritz. Great experience from the time we were greeted by the host till the time we left.“

“I’ve only been here twice, but both times the food was excellent. We happened to come on a Sunday without knowing they closed in about 45 minutes, Angie was our server and we offered to get our food to go so she could close. She wouldn’t hear of it! She made us feel so comfortable and not at all rushed. She gave us one of the best services in a restaurant setting, she was friendly, informative on the menu and provided an all around 5 star experience!“

“The jazzy music was too loud. Most of my veal wasn't pounded flat so was tough. With $14 each for a glass of house wine and a Gin Martini, the pour was small. I had asked for a full pour of the martini. That means it is to the rim and bartenders should know that as it is how cocktails are to be served. The server was very nice and attentive as would be expected. Overall, not too bad of an experience for a post-Valentine dinner.“

“Every time we go to Beaver Creek Tavern it has always been a great experience! The staff is very friendly . Waitresses are always friendly and service is excellent! The food is delicious always fresh and hot . We take home the left overs even though I am not about leftovers . The food from BCTavern taste like the same as when it was served after reheated!!! Prices are reasonable too!“

“Most of the food was excellent. Husband ordered the lamb and was in heaven. I got the fried chicken sandwich which I found to be just ok. Too much bread and not enough chicken. Every place in town has a fried chicken sandwich and this one was towards the bottom, so skip it. We also tried the rib fingers and they were very good!!“

“Olman, Carla and Iris- they take care of my clan for a few years now...we have large orders,,they are friendly,,fast and never a mistake .. Really great place and close to home,,,we know each other’s voices by now,,, Highly recommend you try them first over Seasons or Dominos - WE LOVE VIP!!!!
