We definitely over-ordered but told plenty home for leftovers. For appetizers we ordered the pork belly bao buns and the Thai salad with shrimp. These are more entree size so be forewarned. The bao buns came in a taco server and had three buns filled with plenty of pork and a spicy aioli. The Thai salad came with 5 nicely charred shrimp and a Napa salad. This ate a little dry-I would have appreciated a bit more dressing- but I can see where more dressing might have made this a bit soggy. We would definitely order these again For entrees, we tried the burger and the chicken pot pie. The burger was a double patty with cheese, pickled onion, and a mayo based sauce on a sesame bun. I have to say I was happy to see that they opted out of the usual sad lettuce and anemic tomato that is typical of early spring. I think it was lacking some salt as it was missing something but overall was ok and served with crispy shoestring fries. The pot pie was topped with some puffed pastry and had a nice velvety sauce with hints of tarragon. Very nice. My dining partner finished my burger and took most of the pot pie and the side salad that came with it home. Even though my dining partner couldn't finish his regular entree, he wanted dessert. After looking at the choices the server suggested the seasonal dessert which was beignets with whipped cream, chocolate and strawberries. I was reticent but was happy with the choice because the chocolate dipping sauce (of which there was plenty ) was DELICIOUS! The beignets were fried puff pastry or croissant dough that one dipped in the warm chocolate fudge-y ganache and/or whipped cream. I ordered coffee which paired well with the dessert and it was delightfully fresh. Service was good, friendly and attentive. Decor is industrial farmhouse. Clientele consists of workers from the local courthouse up to about 6 pm when we saw families starting to file in. Nice place, good food, good value.

They also had a great selection of pastries that all looked amazing, but we decided to try the breakfast menu instead. For drinks, my friend got the brown sugar latte and I went with the pumpkin latte topped with chai cold foam. Both were delicious, and the pumpkin + chai combination was perfect for fall! For food, we shared the fig and Brie toast and the Standard Sandwich, which came with cheesy eggs -- and you really can't go wrong with cheesy eggs for breakfast. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Gryphon Cafe. The food and drinks were great, the atmosphere was welcoming, and there was plenty of space to sit. Definitely worth checking out if you're in West Chester!

My friend ordered the gluten free cinnamon bun pancakes but was served a gf pancake that just had a cream cheese swirled on top of the stack. There was some cinnamon dusted on top but this is not what one would imagine when ordering a cinnamon bun pancake at all. Additionally the pancake was very dry and not a great texture despite looking like a normal pancake. It was bland and not exciting. I hope this place can work on their GF options to make them actually taste good. But for gluten eaters, this is certainly a great place to enjoy breakfast.

Do not park in the lot next to the building because it is for the US Postal Service and your vehicle will be towed. There is a parking garage around the corner on the corner of Walnut and Chestnut Streets. The cost is 25 cents for every 15 minutes. We ordered an Old-Fashioned with Woodford and a Blueberry Shaker. The Blueberry Shaker was only 3 dollars more than the regular drink and it yielded a total of 4 drinks for my partner. The drinks were good. For our meals we had the Steak and Shrimp Bourbon, Bourbon Street Burger, and a side Caesar Salad. Everything tasted very good. The decor is New Orleans Style although not completely authentic.

First, my girlfriend and I arrived to the restaurant. We requested a specific table, and the host was gracious enough to do so. We then waited 8 minutes before our table was even touched, and it was just our (server? No intro, nothing) ASKING us if we'd like water. We say yes, and then waited an additional 5 minutes just to receive water in PLASTIC cups. Again, this person never told us his name, and we weren't even sure if he was taking our order or not. He appeared to be about 18, and was most certainly high Then, we requested glasses, and since it had been 15+ minutes since we sat down, said we were ready to order when we got the glasses. The guy took our order. We both got cocktails, which also took about 10 minutes. Finally, our appetizer came. We weren't even halfway through before the entrees came, we probably had about 10 minutes to finish it. This all could have been negated if our order was taken correctly, and things could have been staggered correctly. The "two bite" check occurred within 30 seconds of our food being dropped, and by then I hadn't even touched my food. It was way too early and felt like he was just trying to get it out of the way. At that point both my girlfriend and I were just ready to eat and we said everything was fine. I had to ask the guy for a bag on the way out, rather than him giving me one after our food was put into 3 boxes. I want to be empathetic of whatever was going on at The Social that Sunday. Yet, if you are going to make your steak $42, the service needs to justify that price. I will not be going back to The Social, and encourage their management to speak to their server who flubbed the ENTIRETY of my experience there. Myself and my girlfriend both work in the service / restaurant industry, and we know what good service is. We also understand that there are bad days. This was just abysmal. 4/10.

I know this place very well because I was born and raised there when it was named "Hayman's Orchards" circa 1953 then "Northbrook Orchards" and now Northbrook Marketplace. I have mixed feelings and a lot of fond memories. The small white house that sits on the property across from the original stone Hayman home is where my father, mother, one sister, three brothers and myself lived. My father was head foreman. I have my mother's recipes for her apple pie, peach pie (using Hayman's apples & peaches) and her cider doughnut recipe using of course Hayman's Apple Cider. The barn (Marketplace) itself carries so many childhood memories! When Bob Hayman (son) operated the orchards I had the pleasure of having two concert events there. "Headbender" in which maybe a little over a hundred people showed up for it was a going away party for a dear friend and Headbender II. This one thousands of people showed up including a well known motorcycle club. There was never an incident and all enjoyed the music, food and beverage. Headbender III never came about cause Bob Hayman was concerned about the amount of people that would besiege Hayman's Orchards. He was correct for we had sold well over two thousand tickets beforehand and they were still selling as I spoke with Bob. All in all this is a great place to go and catch some fresh air with friends and or family. All the roads leading to and fro are nicely paved and a joy to drive on. This countryside is rich with history, you just gotta know who to ask. If the bread selection for the sandwich's was better or made on the premises I would have given it five stars thus I give four and even that may be biased Have a great time when you visit! :-) read more

I have been coming here for many years and the food is always great. Unfortunately, every time I go they seem to be missing ingredients for most sandwiches I order. They always seem to be out of croissants or cream cheese. 5 stars for food when they have all ingredients, but most times they don't, and are often slow. Its a shame for such a great place to be this inconsistent. read more

The crunch could be heard outside. It was seriously crunchy without being over fried. The mashed potatoes were fresh and lumpy. I asked for extra gravy. Very peppery and flavorful. The salad seemed freshly made. I like the salad dressing is individually packaged. Seems fresher that way. Colleen was super attentive for being the only wait staff there.

I was so excited to try SC's pizza for the first time, but unfortunately we will not be back…read more The pizza was disappointing, and the customer service was even worse. I spent about $50 on two medium 14" pizzas, including paying extra for additional cheese on both pies. What we received barely looked like a normal amount of cheese, let alone extra. One pizza had sauce missing from half of it, and the other was folded over with toppings stuck to the opposite side. I questioned the pizzas because they clearly did not look right. The employee said, "I'll ask the cook." After returning, they simply said, "He said he put extra cheese on it." At that point, all anyone needed to do was look at the pizzas, acknowledge the issue, apologize, and offer some type of refund. Instead, the situation was handled poorly. We also spent $24 on two quarts of ice cream, bringing our total close to $75. For those prices, I expected much better quality and customer service. We definitely will not return for the pizza. Possibly for the ice cream, but after this experience, this place has some work to do to justify those prices.
