    Classic American proud Irish Pub. Great drinks, great Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls. And the Eagles dominated the Cowboys. What could be better? Excellent service and ambiance!

    We stopped here for dinner before staying overnight by the airport. It has a local bar vibe and for a Tuesday night, it was very loud. Food tasted good but we both had a lot of stomach pain afterwards, may be a lot of grease that's cooked with the food. Bathrooms were clean.

    Delco hospitality at its finest! I was so relieved to find this bar right outside of the Philly airport when I had a 5 hour layover. It's a 5 minute Uber from the airport and so worth getting outside the walls of the airport. Service was 5 stars and so were the bar patrons. This will be my new go to spot anytime I'm passing through the area!

    We travelled from Columbia, MD to this area to see a show at the Lansdown Theater (great show…read morebtw!). We left home early to catch an early dinner near the venue. I found this one by zooming in on googlemaps and asking for restaurants in the area and this one looked like a winner! And it was! Our waitress was lovely, the food was amazing and the restrooms were spotless.

    This is one of my favorite casual dining places and local bars. The space is typical for a…read morebar/restaurant. There is a bit of an odor near the end of the bar close to the poker machines. The staff said that is from the bar drains that are in that corner. Try to stay away from that end. The bar area also has a stage area where there is live entertainment some evenings, ranging from open mic, live bands, quizzo, DJ/dance floor, and karaoke. They also have a large screen they use to broadcast major sporting events. The restaurant tables are typical casual dining style with a mixture of free standing tables and chairs. There are separate areas for larger groups and private parties. The staff is friendly and attentive. As they get to know you, they remember your name and your usual food and drink orders. Kudos to the bartenders for knowing what "up" means! I always get my goto drink, Grey Goose up with a twist, prepared properly and generously here. Can't say that about some bars in Delco I have been to--either incorrect or overpriced. The food is overall typical for a casual dining/bar. There are some must-try items on the menu. If you like crabmeat, the Norwood tots are a different twist with how to have crabmeat. Creative! The pizzas are pretty good as well. I am very much a "purist" when it comes to what a pizza should be made of, but the cauliflower-crust is my exception. I haven't had good pizza in Delco until I had the cauliflower-crust pizza. A thin, crispy crust! Not the thick, doughy crust that I have encountered with most Delco pizza places. For those that don't like cauliflower, have no fear. The cauliflower-crust pizza does not taste like cauliflower. You would not know it contains cauliflower. There are also some great specials I have enjoyed. One special I really loved was the halibut with risotto. I could eat that EVERY day! I come here pretty often. I have come here for lunch, dinner, drinks, and held my 50th birthday party here. Always a good experience.

    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.

    I'm not liking the service here. There appears to be one person working the tables in the bar area…read more We were seated at 2:28pm. We placed a drink order approximately 6 minutes in. I ordered the soft serve margarita but they were out of cherry so I settled for one flavor only to hear the server offering cherry flavor to the next table when they arrived maybe 35 minutes after we arrived. We placed our food order at 2:40pm. I received my margarita at 3:09pm. We received our food at 3:16pm. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was really good. The thick steak like fries were fine. We asked for the bill and it took about 20 minutes and she has to be reminded when we saw her walk by to bring the check.

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.
