West Avenue Grille

West Avenue Grille opened its doors in Jenkintown, PA 17 years ago, when a man's dream became a reality. Since then, the family-owned restaurant has become a beloved spot for delicious American style cuisine any time of day. Day in and day out, we do noth

My friend enjoyed her entree, I did not enjoy mine. The meal was marred from the start by the incredibly rude server, who rolled her eyes, made it clear she was not happy being there, etc. I suspect she realized she was not behaving appropriately, or she overheard us, as she changed her tune mid-meal. But...it was enough not to want to return.

The Village Diner

While this place is pretty small and therefore required we wait to be seated, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The diner has a very authentic old-timey diner feel. We would absolutely go back!

Keswick Tavern

Reviewed By cherylpd1

Apparently it's a secret only known to regulars and locals because there's nothing on their site about reservations. I had checked both their site and open table (of which they are not members). We stopped for dinner prior to a show at the Keswick but we were told that reservations were necessary on show nights, and there were no tables available (and at that point 99% of the tables were empty). The hostesses were rude. We will take our business elsewhere in future.

We can't rave enough about Mirna's: About its looooong list of dinner specials, its generous portions, Its friendly and attentive wait staff and busboys. To illustrate, we consumed half a plate of pasta and took the balance home which fed two the next night. And that was only one of several delicious dishes, not to mention a complimentary Caesar's salad that we were treated to before our order arrived. We look forward to returning soon. Fish dishes delicious although they might benefit from a little less sauce.

Joey Tate's

Reviewed By CMCPhiladelphia_PA

Stopped for lunch. We each had one of the grilled cheese sandwiches. They were good but nothing special and a little greasy. Prices were average. We were sat quickly and the server was very friendly. The condition of the restaurant was poor (it really needs to be updated - looks like a ski lodge) and appeared dirty (it may have not been but due to the old and worn furnishings and decor it definitely appeared this way). We will not return.

we enjoyed walking from friends' house for Sunday evening specials. the amber ale was good, the wings were meaty and flavorful, and the clam chowder was full of clams and just-right creamy (not too thick). yes, it's small and crowded and noisy, but even sitting at the high table near the bar we were able to have conversation without shouting. all the TVs on same game. nice staff

Bernie's Glenside

Reviewed By Kim L

Met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, and I suggested this spot since it's one of my neighborhood places to have a good time. I usually get the same thing all the time from here, but decided to try something different. Wanted to get the buffalo chicken wrap, but I don't do spicy foods like that. So I asked our waitress how spicy is it. She gave an honest opinion in that sometimes it's really hot, and then sometimes it's not so hot. So I was bummed because I really wanted to try it, but didn't want to experience the "really hot" . LOLOur waitress suggested getting grill chicken, and she would let the chef know not to add anything hot to it. Cool that worked for me, plus I still got to order my brussel sprouts....the meal comes and I take a few bites after adding ranch dressing, and my mouth is on fire. The waitress comes over to see how we are enjoying the meal, and I'm like this has my mouth on fire. She indicated that she had explained to not put anything hot in it, and offered to take it back, and have another one made. When she came back with a new one, she explained that even though she had stated nothing hot, a little something got into it. The second one was great. the manager also came over to the table to make sure that the second order was to my liking, and it was.

Was looking for something different and saw this place not far from home. We wanted soups and salads so this seemed like a good option, something different from Panera or places like that. I had the new bollywood salad, which had a curry vinaigrette, which was wonderful. My wife had the Asian wrap, which was recommended with the noodles and was very good. My son just had a turkey sandwich, which he enjoyed. Service was excellent. Attentive and communicated well. I always appreciate good service. Had some peach pie and brownie to go and both were very good.Really liked this place and will be back for sure!!

Park Plates

Casual restaurant serving ethnic inspired cuisine from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Reviewed By JP12CHE

We dined at Park Plates for the first time yesterday evening. We really enjoyed the restaurant! Food was great, love the Mediterranean variety, healthy and delicious. The portion sizes were right on, not crazy quantities. Can’t wait to come back and experience the menu during different seasons of the year. Our waitress was awesome as well as the hostess. The restaurant is lovely, cozy, warm, quiet and friendly vibe. We had a wonderful meal and chatted with our friends until close to 10pm. Will definitely be going back.

The Drake Tavern

Reviewed By BobZielinski

Overcooked burgers, tasteless tacos and bland corned beef sandwiches. Cute waitresses only go so far when the kitchen is this bad. Maybe you need to pretty loaded to enjoy the food here but the last 4 times here, we were underwhelmed. And it's not cheap either. Go to Grub in Willow Grove for a much better burger.Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review BobZielinski. We are sorry that we missed the mark on your last visit. We will share your thoughts with our staff to ensure that next time you experience the 5 star food and service we are known for. We appreciate your business and hope you give us another try soon.
