1. RO Lynn Cold Cut Center

Reviewed By Chelley K - Brookhaven, Pennsylvania
Ro-Lynn is a little slice of Italy right in Delco. When you go into the store you are immediately welcomed with all of the delicious smells. They make their own roast beef, roast pork, chicken cutlets, roasted peppers.....the quality is unmatched. They just remodeled the store and it's gorgeous! They still have Sharp Provolone and Parma Prosciutto hanging from the ceiling, the hot sauces and pastas, and lunchmeat and salads. Whether you are looking for delicious homemade soup, or an out of this world hoagie (Or catering!) Ro-Lynn is the place to go. Their friendly staff will take good care of you.

We were back in the area for a family reunion of sorts and I remembered how good Vicky's was (from my high school days) and still is. This place has been here for 45 + years, and no wonder - it has great food at reasonable prices.
We had a couple of hoagies and a couple of cheese steaks (and a soft pretzel for me) for my wife and I, and our two teenage kids before heading up to Valley Forge for some historical educational touring for our kids.
Also same friendly service.
Must be how they have stayed in business for so long.
Thanks for rekindling my memories.

Unique dining in an unassuming spot. 50 years going strong. Outdoor and indoor exquisite steak and seafood cuisine with unbelievably reasonable prices. Do not miss the opportunity to try a steak (my 8 oz Filet was surely 10 oz.) that fully cooks on a 700 degree cooking stone in front of you. Phenomenal! Great service.
4. 320 Market Cafe

Reviewed By JennyandRick210 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Whether you want to sit and eat a nice meal, grab a take out sandwich, purchase items to pass off as home cooked, or buy some party food, this is your place!!!!! O! Even if you just want to buy some great cheese or produce or other goodies. Everything here is so good it is nearly addictive. If we have any type of "pot luck" or tailgate type kid sports thing we are always asked to bring the chips and salsa from 320.
They have awesome homemade pasta sauce and frozen pasta. The soups are to die for. The salads are delicious. I personally can't get enough of the cheeses: the local ones and the imported ones.

Food was excellent. Had very good service. Parking not great. But, really enjoy going there. The meal is a big serving. I get enough for two meals and always take half home.

Reviewed By MaryAnne M - Folsom, Pennsylvania, United States
If you are looking for authentic Italian food.. not american italian... authentic Italian restaurant, this is it. The food is excellent. I was so pleased that they had branzino. They cooked it perfectly, and even de-boned it at the table, because my co-diner was appalled at the sight of a whole fish on the table, that's the last time he's going there with me.
I am coming back with the girls!

I wish I never found these donuts usually I can take or leave them but these are just the best. what else can I say? There are donuts available at commercial chain places that are pretty lame then there are guys like this.
9. Upland Diner

Reviewed By JPDallas - Dallas, Texas
It's not right off the interstate that one has to find his/her way here. Therefore, almost all local regulars. More than the traditional breakfast selections. We had the Turkey benedict and fried chicken & waffle; and they were both terrific: tasty and well executed and presented. Coffee was very good as well as the service; and prices were good too.

Lee's is a staple in the community.they have the best hoagies the meat is really fresh and you can't beat the value.where else can you get a large Italian hoagie for $5.00 I always stop in to get travel hoagies for my family that live down south. They don't have real hoagies down there and they always look foward to a fresh delicious hoagie from lee's besides water ice that's the second most requested item when they know im coming for a visit.if you're ever in chester you have to stop in for a hoagie they will make any kind you want fresh to order and they even have wheat rolls.for people who don't like the white rolls.it's a small crowed store but that's what make it unique.
