“Definitely the best meal I’ve had as a vegan, and probably the best meal I’ve had in my life. As my mom commented, it is easy to serve fancy meat at a restaurant because it tastes good just by cooking it, but it takes skill to make vegetables so special. Each course had unique, delicious flavors”
“Always exceptional food, service, atmosphere & an added bonus if Marty is your server?. It’s our #1 eatery in West Chester for many years & appreciate their excellence . A delicious & wonderful dining experience . Highly recommend chicken parm, chicken limoncello, calzones, or any of the amazing specials.”
“I saw a friend walking out and she highly recommended it. I went the next day and was not disappointed! The staff was incredibly helpful when we had no idea what to order! Highly recommend the Tara latte or strawberry latte with their respective boba!!!! We got a menu and want to make our way through it! If you don’t like boba, the Oreo smoothie was delicious as well! The ambiance inside is very nice and calming as well! I will be back!”
“Food came out very fast. Atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food alone was amazing and very fresh every time we go. The pasta dishes are better than most if not all of there other restaurants in wc. You can tell when effort is put into every dish and the chefs put full effort to make every bite as good as the last.”
“Opa Taverna is the best! Hands down our favorite restaurant in West Chester! The food is amazing, and the service is second to none. We have also always enjoyed the wine recommendations, which have led us to discover some excellent Greek wines we never would have known about otherwise. You all rock!”

“I cannot rave more about our experience today. The manager Steve returned my call right away when booking for my larger party … it was clear he is super well-organized. Service with Chris was exceptional. Everyone loved the food & drinks ~ plenty of tasty options for vegetarians and folks with Celiac’s. This continues to be my go-to restaurant in WC! Thank you!”

Was lucky enough to get a last minute reservation on a Saturday night and enjoyed our food. Started with the seafood soup which had some good chunks of lobster, clams, potatoes, and more. It had good flavor and I would definitely get it again. Next I ordered the seared halibut with saffron risotto and lobster tarragon sauce. The halibut itself was a little dry, but the sear was done well. Luckily the saffron risotto and lobster sauce were delicious and was a perfect complement to the somewhat dry halibut. My wife got the special Cajun wild stripped bass. She said the flavor was good, but expected a little more bite with the “Cajun” descriptor. Our server was delightful and helpful. Everything explained with patience and a smile. And the atmosphere was perfect for the start to a night out.
TIP- don’t forget to BYOB!!”
“We had an amazing dinner at Pietro’s this evening. Our waitress, Kim, made the whole experience wonderful - from the moment we sat until the moment we left. Would highly recommend - she made amazing recommendations, and explained the menu options perfectly! Thanks for a great date night. ❤️”

“Absolutely hands down the best Steak and Cheese sub and the Italian Hoagie!! Fresh and made to order. I would drive 2 hours to order these subs again. The subs were so delicious and fresh order 2 ex large to bring home! You gotta try! The staff is so nice and welcoming!”

“Love everything about this place! The coffee is phenomenal, the cupcakes are so tasty and original (not the same thing week after week). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My husband is gluten free and said they have the best gluten free dessert he’s ever had.”
“I've been using Yori's bakery for years and I've never had a bad experience. They go above and beyond to make your vision come to life. I've used them for countless special events and they have always exceeded expectations with their beautiful and delicious custom cakes and desserts. Not to mention, there is always something in the case worth trying; whether it's their donuts, pastries, or a seasonal item that they've cooked up, you really can't go wrong. I've had so many people use them for their own custom desserts after seeing and tasting what they can do.”
“There is nothing on the menu you can order and not like. Seriously. Everything is freshly made with locally sourced ingredients, recipes are well thought out and meticulously made with the absolue best combinations. All baked goods are baked daily on site and are the closest you will get to what heaven is. Service is superb. Servers are friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure you're having an excellent experience. It may be small inside and have a small parking lot but that's the appeal. It's like a little cozy home! Don't let another day go by without trying! It's THAT good! ?”

“Went for a celebration in large room and had a delicious Chicken Marsala dinner. The service was excellent, especially with the large crowd and the wait staff was very, very nice. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!”
“I've become a regular at Santino's, and for good reason. At first it was for the food, but l've stayed because of the incredible atmosphere and welcoming staff. Nicole, in particular, always goes above and beyond to make me feel at home-she's attentive, friendly, and an absolute gem.
The menu keeps things lively with fresh weekly specials that never disappoint. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, Santino's is the perfect spot. It's become my go-to place in West Chester. Highly recommend!!”

“We used our Toys for Tots donation voucher for a take-out family style dinner yesterday. The meal was abundant and absolutely delicious! We all agreed that it was some of the best pasta we have ever had. And the antipasti, caesar salad and cheesecake were also amazing. Thank you Bar Avalon for a wonderful meal and your generous offering for a good cause.”
“I had a bad experience here over a year ago. at the advice of a close friend, I chose to give them another chance. last night, I went there and had a FABULOUS meal. offerings, presentation, the server and his approach and knowledge of the menu, everything. it was a great experience and I'll be going back.”
“The bartender tav was amazing the sweetest most friendly amazing great drink maker. We loved him. He took such good care of us and was so kind ❤️ we will defiantly come back just to see him. Penny was amazing too. Jamie”

“This is some of the best jerk I've ever had and I've had it in Jamaica and many other islands. All the food I've had from here has been incredible. You guys have a customer for life. The middle manje size is quite a lot of food for 20 bucks too. I usually gladly get 2 meals out of it. Thank you so much!”
“Stopped past the one in Downingtown today for lunch I had the Birria tacos and the beef Quesadilla the food was very good and refreshing. Made to order. Mimi waitied on us and she was very polite and friendly with a flashy smile. I will recommend. & I will definitely be eating here again :)”
“I was so excited to go to this location so I could introduce Wayback to my friends. They both loved it! Chicken tenders are still the best out of any place and I loved the cheese curds as well. One friend enjoyed the steakhouse burger and my other friend liked the chicken tenders as well. The Oreo milkshake was amazing too. Service was prompt. I love having so many options for sides! Wayback truly is my favorite now!”

“Simply the BEST!! The most flavorful chicken I've ever tasted. The level of flavor from the marinade and seasoning is simply unmatched. These guys "get it"!!! Highly recommend you give it a try!!! You'll become a lifetime customer!!! Cluck around and find out!!! I did!!! WOW!! Thank you Jamie and Rocco for an amazing time and excellent food!! A true class act!!!”
“I love my Playa! Staff is amazing and I couldn’t ask for a healthier delicious treat! The best! Thanks!!!
Parking: I’m always able to park, although it’s a busy area, but there’s a parking lot literally right next to it! Parking rates are reasonable and free on Sundays!”
“Came here during the WC Holiday Market with family and was such a nice experience. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was really yummy. Very cool decor.”

“Great food, great service, the display case is always filled with cakes, novelties etc. They have more blizzard flavors then most DQ's I've been too. On top of their prices being cheaper then other DQ's in the area they always run sales so I save even more. With inflation I'm always in for a Sale?”
“My partner and I decided to give Andiario a try over the weekend and I can't express how genuinely lovely the entire experience was. The staff were all extremely attentive and knowledgeable while the menu (which apparently changes every week) was delicious and inspiring. I swear I could have the pasta and pheasant for every meal and still be satisfied! I wish I could properly convey just how relaxing and delightful the atmosphere was too. Whoever designed the dining room did a lovely job. If you're looking for a night to remember and have an adventurous spirit, Andiario is the place to be!”
“This Grill is in The Amish Market. They have table service plus service at the Counter. I had breakfast on Friday and Saturday while getting my car inspected down the road. The quality of the food was not only good, but also tasty. The jelly on the Counter was also very good. Will be back. 🤗👍🏽👋🏽”
“Food is generally very good. Sometimes, the food prep doesn't pick up any alterations. I ordered sandwich with grilled onion instead of raw and I still got raw. Not worth returning the food but attention to detail would be nice. This has happened to me in the past as well.”
“This is by far the best McDonald’s I’ve ever been to. As a college student at west chester university, I eat here frequently since it’s very close to campus and it’s a great experience every time! Order is ready very quickly (literally, it’s ready in like less than 2 minutes after placing), with the food being hot & fresh, the employees are so kind, the inside is always clean. I wish all other McDonald’s locations would be as good as this one is!”
“Food and drinks were great - pub burger was excellent - and we really enjoyed the acoustic live music atmosphere!”

“I absolutely love the coffee, food, and staff of Mayday Coffee & Shop in trendy downtown West Chester, PA. My favorite drink is the iced Salted Carmel latte! The decor and vibe of the shop is first rate. Great place for families, friends, or work meetings, or just to simply relax and treat yourself!”
“Food is always consistently good. We were there a few weeks ago when on a Wednesday. Apparently there was some group in a side room. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal after she dropped off our food. No refills on drinks when we needed it. Then it took twenty minutes to get our check. Everyone around us was also complaining. One waitress for ten tables? It is obvious they were paying more attention to the larger party in the side room. . They need to hire more waitstaff. It spoiled the outing.”
“The spicy miso ramen was pretty solid. The dumplings i ordered I sent back. They seemed like they came out of a frozen bag from Trader Joe’s. Otherwise pretty solid.”
“We had a small snafu when we accidentally ordered from the wrong Bravo pizza for our teachers, and didn’t realize until we got there! The owner (sad I didn’t catch his name) jumped right in and said I’ve got this for you! He and his team quickly made us five pizzas, that were out of this world. And while we waited, the delicious smells and freshly made pasta salads made me more hungry than I thought! This will be our new spot to order for special lunch days, whether it’s a good slice of pie, a wrap/hoagie or pasta dish! It’s hard to find great food with superior service and ownership! Thanks Bravo!”
“We love your restaurant, but the last few times we've ordered chicken dishes, it's been different. One was a chicken alfredo and the chicken was very tough and inedible, maybe microwaved? Then a caesar salad with grilled chicken. It's just not like it was. Hoping things go better next time! ❤️”
“Great place to stop by for lunch or ice cream. There aren't many places to grab a quick coffee, sandwich, or ice cream in West Bradford without going down the hill to Downingtown or Thorndale. West Bradford Market is the perfect option for a quick bite. The sandwiches are excellent!
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of ice cream options”
“I’m always critical when it comes to trending places you never know if they’re worth the hype.
But I’d be crazy not to let you know how blown away I was by the flavor from Pizza. The crust is a nice well done, burnt edges, kind of crust, but the sauce and the pepperoni when everything comes together it makes it for an amazing combination. I can’t wait to go back and try the white pizza.
Atmosphere is great music playing and service is amazing. You’re only waiting 10 to 30minutes Of course, depending on the crowd.
The owner is very personable and friendly and it’s really cool to see him work. Definitely gotta stop in but you better get there before he runs out of dough because it is that good!!”
“I got a small meatball stromboli Sat night. All the food I've gotten from there and I never got a stromboli. First, the size is bigger than alot of places large. Second, the seasoning brushed on top gave it tremendous flavor. One of the best strombolis I've ever had

“I’m so glad I went with the blackened tuna dish. It was so tasty and the ceviche appetizer was very refreshing.”
“This place is superb! We celebrated Mother's Day there today and had the best time! The food is DELISH, everybody had something different and raved about it. I did the Classic Chicken Parm and it was some of the best I ever had (and I order that stuff EVERYWHERE). If you get the chance to go, you'll love it!”
“The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every bite we tried, we kept saying “wow this is amazing!” The service was wonderful too. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.”

“My car got a flat out front and Kelly came out and taught me how to change a flat… been coming here weekly since for the new pizza of the week can’t beat the food quality here top tier service! Ask about the wing sauce of the week!”
“Phenomenal. Excellent cajun food. The owner is an inviting and affable host; service was top-notch, too. I stopped in without any expectations and was drawn to this place because they had gumbo. Everything I had was EXCELLENT. The bread, the gumbo, the jambalaya, the creme brulee, even the coffee (had a hint of cinnamon in it, which was a nice touch, in my opinion). If you are looking for something different, delicious, and reasonably priced: this is the place to try. I will most definitely be returning the next time I am in town.”

“Food and atmosphere were great but i was extremely disappointed that my husband received a strip steak instead of the ribeye he ordered. This wouldn’t have been a big deal except for when we highlighted this to the staff, they took it back to the kitchen where the chef supposedly confirmed it to be a ribeye. It was not. To not disrupt our big night we just accepted it but very disappointing. I will give it one more try but at this level of dining experience, I would expect staff to be able to decipher different cuts of meat.”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Rolling Stars in West Chester for breakfast, and I must say, our experience was nothing short of fantastic! The ambiance of the place had a warm and inviting feel, and we were welcomed with friendly smiles from the staff. We both decided to order the breakfast sandwiches, and boy were we delighted with our choice! The sandwiches were cooked to perfection, filled with fresh ingredients that harmonized beautifully in every bite. They were not only delicious but also quite filling, making them a perfect start to our day. Now, I must take a moment to highlight the fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was a game-changer. I've tasted fresh orange juice before, but this was on a whole different level. The flavor was so vibrant and pure, it was like biting into a freshly picked orange. I was thoroughly surprised and impressed by how fresh and tasty it was. Our entire experience at Rolling Stars was filled with pleasant surprises, from the attentive service to the delectable food. If you find yourself in West Chester, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this gem of a place. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Rolling Stars, for an unforgettable breakfast experience. We'll definitely be back!”
