I currently live in Delco, and as a result, I've frequented the same places for the last twenty-five years. Then I stumbled onto Van Horn's one day, and my cheesesteak experience hasn't been the same since. I stuck with the same steak for a while -- I highly recommend the blackened chicken cheesesteak. But recently I ventured out to try something new, and once again, Van Horn's didn't disappoint. The fact that you can get your chicken cheesesteak chopped or chunked is another nice touch. It's rare that I pay for something I'm used to paying a little less for and feel like I actually got my money's worth -- but that's exactly the case here. I've talked to family and friends, and we'll gladly rank Van Horn's as the best place in Delco, hands down, against any other contenders. Sitting here right now, looking forward to chowing down for lunch. Thanks!

Being that this is my first review on yelp, I consider house to be the perfect 1st choice when it comes to local spots in my neighborhood. After reading most of the reviews below, there's really not that much more to say.... Everything I have had at house as been delicious, fresh, and extremely innovative. Though the wait can be long at times during lunch hours with the seating being minimal, house has never disappointed me. My favorites are the El nino panini (chicken salad mixed with avocado, chipotle remoulade, bacon) and the Shiva sandwich (curry chicken), and the Southwestern (house roasted turkey with bacon, spicy mayo, roasted red peppers, and cheddar). The staff is extremely friendly, the desserts are outstanding, and yes they roast all their own meats, order produce from local farmers, make all their own salad dressings, and use high quality ingredients with everything. house is not one to be missed when visiting Media!! read more

wow. I was not expecting much in terms of food, as I frequent house for lunch and brunch and it's really good, but very casual....dinner was a whole new level. Food, service, ambience, music....the whole environment was soothing, relaxing and to put simply, enjoyable. My date and I split between risotto, Brussels, and pork loin and devoured all three. Go here for dinner, as they are still new and somewhat unheard of, before you cant get a seat anymore! Trust me! Their lunches and brunches are also delicious, and pretty much the best in town. Beware...the brunches can get VERY busy and as they told me once, get there when they first open! I waited one time till noon to eat (blame the time change) and they were already packed to capacity. Go here, and enjoy! read more

House is such a breath of fresh air. The food is consistently creative and inspiring and the service is always friendly and on point. I've been coming here on and off for the last 3-4 years (away at college for some of the time) and have experienced take out, eat in lunch and dinner, and brunch. I don't think you can go wrong....everything just tastes so fresh. The one owner Jenny is so nice and takes the time to go over everything on the menu with you (even when you're as picky of an eater as me). It's been hard to make it into brunch though, as they can get really busy. Avoid busy times and come in early is possible. I love it here and I know you will too! read more

I do like the food here quite a bit. There are plenty of delicious options to suit nearly every taste or dietary need. However, every time I go I always end up waiting for an eternity - this applies for either take out or dine in. The food may be yummy but the wait times, and poor service (not unfriendly, but generally not very 'together') leaves me a little salty. Overall, if you have plenty of time to kill, and don't mind correcting your order once or twice perhaps, you'll be sure to have a tasty meal. Under my every day circumstances, I would have to say this doesn't fit my lifestyle. read more
