Stopped with family for breakfast New Year's Eve. The pancakes were wonderful. Other people in our group had the Eggs Benedict, Crab Benedict and the Breakfast Burrito. Everyone said the food was great. Save room for their desserts, though. The pastry case looked fantastic!
2. Blue Bell Inn

In April 2013, after changing ownership, Blue Bell Inn closed its doors and underwent extensive renovation and redesign for over a year. In an effort to preserve historical significance, various aspects of the Inn were kept intact and enhanced through thoughtful restoration. An exposed rock wall from the original 18th century edifice was refurbished and is a focal point in the main dining room. Antique glass and old-fashioned bottles reclaimed during construction were repurposed into striking pieces of art throughout the restaurant. A more spacious floor plan was developed and quintessential indoor-outdoor spaces now encourage seasonal dining. New materials such as Italian porcelain tile, black marble and solid white oak were introduced to create a unique rustic-meets-modern ambiance. Today, Blue Bell Inn serves as a stunning architectural melange spanning three centuries.

We were excited to take our friends from Texas to this restaurant. Damn, we were disappointed. First, I must admit the staff was very efficient and friendly. However, the food was below average, expensive and very small portions. There were 3 orders of the catch of the day. Pathetic amount. We thought the catch was sea bass, but turned out to be minnows. I ordered the lamb for 36 bucks. 4 small slices, 9 dollars a slice. The big problem I had was I know that it was not lamb. The place was overrun with people. I believe they ran out of lamb and substituted steak. I would have raised a big stink but we were with friends from Texas so I let it pass. On top of that, I kid you not when the “lamb” was like chewing on my sneakers. My advice, go 3 miles away into downtown Ambler. Many great places to eat at a more reasonable price. Never again.

I have been a regular customer of William Penn Inn since the 1980s. I have become more fond of this establishment over the years to the point where I find the experience an epiphany. I attribute the success of this restaurant to Peter Friedrich, the owner, and Gretchen Dowling, the general manager. Peter, in particular, takes a personal interest in my being satisfied, which I always am. I make my visits there a religious devotion by engaging the services of a limousine. The fare at this fine dining inn exhibits a Blitzkrieg of the whole gamut of the food chain. The wines in particular are well chosen. For the quality of food, I do not mind paying a what I consider a substantial bill. In conclusion, I have partaken of every reputable restaurant inf the Delaware Valley. William Penn Inn is the gold standard, by which no others are comparable.

This bakery has the best tomato pie and so many other types of breads. Tomato pie sauce was just sweet enough. Prices are reasonable. They also offer sandwiches and other Italian products.

I have been going to Bluefin for over a decade. I have watched the place grow from a small stripmall establishment with a huge commitment to procuring the highest quality product (from NYC at least twice a week) to the polished establishment it has now become in East Norriton. The great thing in this evolution is that Yueng, the owner, has kept his eye fixed on quality throughout this growth process. The food? Everything is really good.....so be adventurous......don't stick with the same old stuff that you have ordered forever when going out for sushi. Ask their wait staff.....they are also excellent. Another tip......don't miss the appetizers! Try the "Tuna Sundae" or the "Crazy Bowl" and you'll immediately see what I mean. For the main course, my personal preference is sashimi....but really everything is great....whether you prefer sushi, rolls, sashimi or even tempura. Bottom line....to my knowledge, this is the best sushi spot in the entire Philadelphia area.....bar none!

Very expensive, lunch entrees range from $15 to $28, but it's well worth it. Cornbread was wonderful, very sweet and fluffy. The flatbread with rotisserie chicken, tomato, cheese, and pesto was so full of flavor. And the sea bass tacos with a lime sauce and guacamole was absolutely delightful. Tender chunks of fish with a crispy outside. Wonderful flavor and just the right amount of heat. Service was great, too.

It’s decent food, nothing noteworthy or overly compelling. Drinks were okay. Frozen margaritas seemed pre-made, nothing special. Also, whether you get chips and salsa seems random. Some customers just got them and when I noticed, I had to ask for mine. The server got them for me with no problem, I just wondered why I had to ask. They have a good happy hour with a couple dollars off drinks. Honestly, if I’d had to pay more for that canned margarita I would’ve been upset.

This place is great, we have been coming here for a few years and keep coming back! The food is very diverse and we love the torta sandwiches and burritos for lunch and the heavier fajitas for dinner. We always order the fresh guac and salsa with chips and they are a must have. They go great with the free margaritas! There are plenty of vegetarian options and everyone we have introduced to this restaurant is now addicted. Also the two hot sauce options are amazing and should be used.
