She had many groups but she still gave us top notch service. All the food is great here but I absolutely love their deviled crab cake. I can't get good crab cakes where I live so I devour them when in PA. I also love their house salad. I did not get pictures of main course since dived into eating them. They have great desserts as well. I love their rice pudding and this time I tried the peanut butter dessert which was great. I have never had a bad meal here.

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

Beautiful!

Since there were no available tables outside, we were placed inside in a corner table with no air circulation. The humidity felt unbearable and really played a major impact on my experience. I'm sure if I came during a mid spring day I would've had a better experience. Food: the food is the only reason I would come here again. I got a crab cake that was very robust with a fair amount of filler but had a good amount of real crabmeat. My son got the quesadilla, and it wasn't anything special. The salmon was small and flavorful. Service: also was not anything special or bad. Our waitress came by twice during our stay. It was a busy afternoon and she was working. It would've been good if they had more staff so that someone could refill our water more frequently. Like I said, the humidity had taken away from our experience. Overall, I wouldn't come here throughout the hot, humid summer months, but I may give it a second try in the winter or spring... maybe.

Nestled within the interior's cozy embrace lies a well-kept secret--the back deck patio bar--a realm of enchantment that defies mere description. It evokes the spirit of a long-lost Jimmy Buffett refrain, imbued with the unique essence of South Jersey's character. As one settles into the embrace of cool shadows, an exquisite experience unfolds--watching the sun's ardent blaze gradually yield to the serenity of nightfall. All the while, the elixir of choice, a finely crafted beer, rests in hand, its taste a testament to life's finer pleasures. In this corner of the world, time stands still, and the transition from day to night becomes an occasion to savor, a symphony of moments intertwined with the simple yet profound act of raising a glass. read more

What to say... Family run and owned... The dining/pub experience will amaze you... The food... I'm at a loss for words, I mean Nick, Dottie, Danielle... Et.al... Create the best, most flavorful and comfortable dishes around. The new flavors come out of that kitchen everyday... Try the coconut shrimp with an amazing chutney.... Then the bartenders... Again a loss for words... Rookie or regular... You feel at home...

My Co-workers and myself were looking forward to experiencing a great bar with great food the reviews were ranting about. We were extremely disappointed in the actions that took place last night in this bar. I didn't think we would have a wrestling match with the co-workers at the bar. Maybe we will try it again when we are back in town. read more

Best Bar in DELCO! German S. states it is a typical DELCO Bar, why go to a bar in DELCO if you feel that way. What bar in DELCO would classify as not a typical DELCO Bar. What does that even mean?
