Just left one of the friendliest pubs we have been to in a very long time...the food was good, but the overwhelming feeling of the pub was of long ago attitudes when you felt so comfortable and happy..the 60'ies music (instead of hard rock everywhere else) was a real treat. Watching the patrons singing every word and dancing by their tables was very heartwarming and made us feel very nostalgic!!

I planned a company training kick-off dinner here for 20 and it was wonderful. Originally from the area, I selected this restaurant as I remembered it from my childhood years - still there, still family owned. Tony and Paulette were warm and welcoming, very friendly...MoreAlma, it was great helping host your company training party! So glad we're just like you remember from your childhood. I can't wait to pass along your kind words to Jessica and Paulette. Looking forward to the next time you're in town! Cheers, Tony

We went with 8 people. Seems almost everyone got something different and to my surprised it was great. The prices are more then fair and the portions are very generous. I haven't been in a while and it won't be a long before we return, It's more of an old style family pub/restaurant that is the best in the area.

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.

Located within Quality Inn and Econo Lodge Motels. We are next door to the front desk of the Quality Inn. Turn into the motel parking lot and park for free. Our establishment has a 'Lounge' sign on the front as well as a Coors Light neon sign on one of our doors. We only deliver takeout to the Quality Inn and Econo motel rooms due to our short staff. When using GPS, please route your search to "Quality Inn" for there has been confusion about our location directions due to our city being Lester instead of Tinicum Township. Sorry for the inconvenience! We hope you come visit us! Thank you!

Conveniently located next to Quality Inn and Econo Lodge. Food was excellent and at a reasonable price. I had chicken and broccoli and tried the Chinese beer, Tsingtao. An excellent meal, with the beer having a smooth taste.

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.

Been going by to Leo's for decades and every time their cheesesteaks and burgers are awesome. Never been disappointed. By far the BEST cheesesteak in the Philly region. The large is pricey but it's your call to spend more $$ and upgrade from a regular. Wish they'd offer coupons.

Reviewed By Pam_gardengirl - Norwood, Pennsylvania
Chill Out is a family run business, which you don't see too often any more. Staff is friendly and service is excellent. The ice cream (banana!) and water ice (mango!) are delicious, fresh and good flavor selections with many topping options. You have to try a waffle bowl dipped in chocolate, it ups the sundae experience several notches!

I had company visiting from California who wanted to sample some Philly style sandwiches. We ended up coming here several times that week. We had cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks, Italian hoagies, grilled ham and cheese, as well as fries. Everything was delicious!
Service was quick and friendly, and prices were very reasonable.
