I came here with a friend who recommended this place, saying it was consistently good. We were able to be seated right away. The inside is a little dark, has a bar, and plenty of seating, including booths. The service was friendly too. They asked about any allergies in the beginning, which I always like to see even though I don't have any serious allergies. The menu is very diverse, so there is definitely something for everyone. I ordered the Super Crunch salad and my friend got the BBQ Meatloaf. I loved that the salad chopped and had a lt of unique ingredients. My friend loved her meatloaf, and we were both impressed by the size of the carrots that came with it! It is hard to judge the restaurant from the one salad, but this meal was pretty solid and there are plenty of options to choose from! read more

I really enjoy this restaurant. The food is excellent and varied and the service accommodating and courteous. When a friend was unavoidably late for lunch, the server was gracious and understanding. We were served promptly when my friend arrived. I really enjoyed my grilled cheese and tomato basil soup and my friend liked her sandwich, too. We'll be back. read more

we have loved this restaurant for so long but today we're heartbroken to hear that our beloved nachos and sweet and spicy cauliflower bits are no longer on the menu. We had to go somewhere else. Popping next door to Harvest in hopes we can find some new apps to love. read more

1 star The only positive thing I can say about our experience at Not Your Average Joe's in Glen Mills is that we were greeted immediately by the host and seated quickly. Unfortunately, that was about where the good experience ended. After waiting several minutes, our server came over to take our drink order. When the drinks arrived, she had forgotten the bread service that is to be brought out upon greeting the table. We reminded her, and after another several minutes, she finally brought it out. We then ordered our food. I ordered a cheeseburger, and my girlfriend ordered a Caesar salad. When our food came out, it was brought by the manager, and my burger was completely wrong. It had lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and everything else that wasn't supposed to be on it but somehow no cheese, despite the fact that I ordered a cheeseburger. I told the manager that it wasn't what I ordered. He took the burger back, removed the toppings, put two cold slices of American cheese on it, and brought it back to the table. At that point my girlfriend had already finished her food, and I wasn't going to eat it. What made the situation even worse was that nobody came back to our table for roughly 30 minutes. I eventually had to get someone's attention and ask for the burger to be taken off the bill because I wasn't going to eat it. Thankfully, they did remove the burger. Despite everything that happened, there was no apology from either the manager or our server. Not even a simple acknowledgment that the order had been messed up and the situation had been handled poorly. We were still charged $4 per soda, even though neither drink had been refilled since before our food even arrived. I paid for my girlfriend's meal and both drinks, but by that point the entire mood of the night had been ruined. Mistakes happen at restaurants. What really bothered me was the lack of attention, the poor attempt to fix the food, the 30-minute wait while my untouched meal sat in front of me, and especially the complete lack of apology or concern from management. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend Not Your Average Joe's in Glen Mills. There are plenty of restaurants where you can spend your money and at least feel like the staff cares when something goes wrong. This was not one of them. read more

Immediately told we could not dine outside on the patio (Hostess was not friendly) shut my family and I down 1st thing. Staff wasn't happy or even inviting, then proceeded to sit a family by the bar on a high top table where the seating doesn't even match the table height. Or course the light above us was not working either (Edison Bulbs everywhere so it not that easy to read your menus) server was good the half the meal then we had to send a entree back cause was not what we ordered, since that the ball was dropped for the rest of the meal. Took a half hr to get napkins and my food was so under seasoned and I'm not sure if anyone actually tastes this food but had zero flavor. No salt or pepper on table and also not present in their food period. Food was below average so we said it's just a Basic Average Joe experience with let downs! Huge pass and skip this establishment read more

Always loving coming to this restaurant . Great for friends get together or work team get togethers. Service is excellent!! Faith was our server and was very good. The food is always excellent and so are the apps. Always a go to for me. read more

Haven't been to NYAJ for almost 6 months and love the new menu. The garlic/onion bread with the garlic parm olive oil dip is ALWAYS awesome. Tried the new meatball calzone and the beef noodle bowl and both were excellent. If you haven't been in a while---worth a trip. If you've never been--- diverse menu with many options for ant nutrition plan! Preferred seating in the bar area where you can enjoy your meal, conversation, and any number of games on the many TVs. read more

Usually love this place. Me and my boyfriend aswell as our family are regulars here. I usually have a pleasant experience and good food. Today, we made a reservation to sit outside and were not told we could NOT sit outside until we arrived. that's the whole reason we wanted to go out to dinner- feel like it should've been told or we shouldn't have been allowed to choose outside online. We were there for only about 30 minutes. Things felt rushed by our server and she was not attentive from the beginning. When it came time to pay, we payed online and tipped 1. What she deserved, and 2. What we could afford. Our waitress made a very rude remark about how much we paid. Unprofessional , uncalled for, and insensitive. Never have I EVER experienced a situation like that. Employees should not be treating customers like this. Especially LOYAL customers. read more

It would really be something if this restaurant would use accurate photos on their menu. They show pictures of their food on the gluten free menu which you can't help but use when considering gf options. Then when the food arrives it is clear that you didn't receive the pasta type that they show in their own photos. Example: the gf chicken piccata is shown with linguine pasta but what you really get is mini corkscrew pasta rather than what is shown on their menu page. Also, none of the gf menu options list any pasta type. All the descriptions say is "gluten free pasta included" while you're staring at linguine in their photos. With that in mind, what would you think you were ordering with that vague description and a photo of linguine? Im guessing you would infer that what you're ordering is linguine based on their photo. Would it kill them to use Barilla gf linguine like we do at home? It's cheap and tastes like the non gf pasta and when Im paying $28 for chicken piccata I think that I should get a choice of pasta. Do better NYAJ. P.S. mini corkscrew pasta sucks. read more

Food good. Set at bar and found it interesting that Both bartenders were chewing gum. Gross. Being in the restaurant industry you never let any front of house chew gum. Could not believe it. Joes is a great place. Slipping??? read more

Walking in- Made a 6:15 reservation, but they were running behind and we didn't get seated until 6:25. Host was a bit annoyed and passive aggressive, and atmosphere was interesting. Service - Waitress was polite but a bit awkward, food came out in okay time considering it was crowded. Meal - The bread was delicious but slightly doughy, the garlic/olive oil dip was very garlicky, you have to love garlic to enjoy it. Caesar salad was delicious, very fresh, though the croutons were VERY crunchy, too crunchy. The buffalo chicken pizza was also superb, the chicken was flavored nicely though the crust was mediocre. Not Your Average Joe's is a great place to go on a Friday night with friends, so stop by and enjoy! read more

Not Your Average Joe's has restaurants throughout the Northeast and focuses on American-style dishes: burgers, salads, pizzas, pastas, etc. plus a rotating menu of seasonal offerings. It's a bit pricey, but significantly better than your otherwise average American chain restaurant. What I really like about this location is that they're family friendly and allergy aware. The interior is rustic, cozy, and spacious. The menu has options for picky young eaters. The servers ask about food allergies and will double check the menu if needed. (Obviously those with severe allergies must always be wary, but in my case, it's just confirming that a dish doesn't contain the ingredient itself.) Overall, this is a good spot for parents to have a nice meal out with kids in tow. Everything that I had was pretty good, from French onion soup to chicken nuggets to a burger. Definitely try the focaccia and oil dip! That offering is exceptionally delicious. read more

This place was pretty good!!! Only reason I have 4 stars instead of 5 is because one of the members of my party didn't like her food and felt like perhaps it wasn't super fresh. Everyone else's food was fine, so not sure what went on there. One particular aspect I really like about Not Your Average Joe's is that they are super knowledgable about gluten free items and even have their own GF menu - absolutely wonderful for a gluten free gal like me. All of us enjoyed our cocktails and the ambiance, and service was fine! read more

Great Great Great Happy Hour Apps and Beers! Nice Bartenders and atmosphere. First time there ,like Arnold, I'll be back!

We had a table of 8- 4 families getting together after a snowy winter. Eric was our waiter. He recommended some great dishes and got our drinks while we waited for 1 member. The food was hot and amazing! We had Harvest veggie bowls which we all loved, ahi tuna bowls and salad. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, Eric's advice and service was spot on. We would return. read more

The mustard crusted chicken is so delicious. Beer is cold. The service was amazing. The atmosphere is casual.

Bad food , pathetic service. Wish there was a way to rate it negative. Every once in awhile , we come across really good places which were lost due to Covid , and I really feel bad. And then there is this place , where you wonder why is this place even open. Went there on an empty Thursday evening. Very simple order. The waitress served food and then completely disappeared for 30 mins , no check in for quality or refills. The food was bad - salad required a little more dressing and the tomato soup was split and unfit for human consumption. We finally had to complain to the manager , who was equally disinterested. Didn't apologize for service , no apology for the substandard food. It just is so disappointing , that places like this are still in business while well meaning , good service , great food restaurants have shut down. read more

Forgot how bad this place was and gave them a second try. Placed was packed, lots of kids and loud. Got take out. Was ready quickly. Funny since it was all way overcooked. Fish and chips were fried nearly black and dark brown not at all the golden brown as in their pictures on the menu. read more

Food is your basic American place, but you're paying for a nice dining room (and outdoor tables!) and good service. On the plus side, there is indeed excellent service. But still, my chicken sandwich, my wife's salmon, and a couple of drinks somehow set us back over $60 before tip for lunch. The food was decent but that's just too steep for us to be regulars. read more

I LOVE this place!!! Tonight was busier than I'm used to, 25 min wait, due to holiday festivities but got to see Santa while waiting for our table. Lots of families and casual fun atmosphere. Love the people. From the host stand to the wait staff and food runners...always awesome. Jake waited on us tonight and he was a doll. Chose my cocktail "blackberry bourbon lemonade" which was amazing. I love the bread basket and the apps were delicious. Tuna tartar wontons and bang bang shrimp! Perfect and tasty. Mains were chicken piccata and fish and chips. Both were big and hearty enough to bring some home. Cooked beautifully and always hot and delicious! I get here pretty often and I'm sad I'm only reviewing now. Def put this on your rotation!! read more

Had reservations on a recent busy Saturday night for date night with my hubby. Highly recommend reservations as we were seated immediately while others waited. This was our first time here. Plenty of options for everyone. We had 2 chicken dishes that were both great as well as a few drinks. Our server was attentive & friendly. The free focaccia bread is delish! read more

There was no wait as we made a reservation. I would highly recommend this, you can do it right on the website or call the restaurant. We had our choice of table (table, booth, or high top). Our waitress (Taylor I) was so nice, she answered any questions we had, she was always there when we needed her, and she kept the drink refills coming. The food was absolutely delicious! The entrées that our party ate were the Italian, the BBQ meatloaf, the Mediterranean pizza, and the Cape Cod Reuben. For dessert we shared the Peanut Butter Thing, and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Explosion. I would highly recommend this restaurant, I can't wait to go back! read more

I love Not Your Average Joe's! I've been to other locations and this one holds up in terms of food quality and service. I love the chicken dumplings, ahi tuna appetizer, and their chicken caesar salad! Tables are distanced and all employees were wearing masks. They also have a covered outdoor seating section. When you enter the restaurant, they ask for your phone number for contact tracing purposes. One small note is that they've reduced their menu since COVID. At this time they don't have a separate gluten free menu and they also removed some various dishes (for example, the ahi tuna bowl and the Brussel sprouts side). Hopefully they'll be able to bring this all back soon! read more

ALWAYS FIREEEE FOOD. Get the tomato soup- best app on the menu by FAR. Service is always fast, and they are great with big groups. I would cover myself in the tomato soup if I could. It's 10:55 pm rn and I'm writing this hungry af. Gonna dream about that soup read more

Quick seating on a Saturday evening, but you may have to climb the stairs. Waldorf salad was really good and would recommend it. The twisted Mac and cheese was ok with chicken and a large portion - light eaters could easily split. Loved that our server brought us simple syrup for the iced tea since they did not have sweet tea. Nice place read more

I'm giving this a 3 since a 2 seems a little too harsh, but this is somewhere in between there. We stopped in here when we were out and looking for somewhere with decent reviews. We left here calling this Average Joe's. Nothing that was served was above average except maybe the Arnold Palmer. The focaccia bread that came with garlic butter was okay, and somehow the butter smelled good but barely tasted like anything. We ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls and asked for the "spicy" mustard on the side. Bf said the mustard just tasted like regular yellow mustard and not spicy. They came out with mustard all over the plate, so I only ate one piece since I don't like mustard and only one piece was spared. One piece was plenty and I think cheesesteak egg rolls was very misleading, you could see meat, but you could only taste cheese and onions. These could definitely not compared to the ones at Stinger's Waterfront in Ridley; those are like the best cheesesteak egg rolls around. It was busy, so we didn't bother sending them back because of the mustard. And we split the shrimp scampi pizza. The pizza wasn't bad, the dough was nice and there was an actual garlic flavor. There could have been more cheese, but it wasn't the worst. Bf isn't a huge fan of white pizza, so he did ask for a side of marinara sauce, and that just tasted like plain tomato sauce from a can. He mixed it with the rest of the garlic butter to add some flavor We ordered a pitcher of the seasonal sangria and it was fine, nothing special, but still better than something you would get from Applebees. It was a little funny that the only fruit was a partial apple slice in each glass. Usually the fruit is my favorite part of a sangria. I also ordered an Arnold Palmer and that was my favorite thing. That tasted like brewed tea and potentially a fresh lemonade. I was expecting Minute Maid or country time and it was better. read more

Went for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised. Service was great and I ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken added. Salad was fresh and crisp with a light Greek dressing, and the chicken was freshly grilled in small pieces - hot, juicy and seasoned lightly with enough salt but not over seasoned at all. We also had the bread/focaccia that came to the table with a delicious garlic olive oil - the bread too was fresh and warm. Would definitely return and try some larger items on the menu perhaps for dinner read more

Just a good place for comfort food. Love the meatloaf. When I first came here 7 years ago there was a hair in my mussels, but they comped it and took care of it. Recently my drink was way too sour (unpalatable) and they fixed it. Service is good. Food is classic American, but hits the spot. read more

Made a reservation here for lunch because my boyfriend has a gluten intolerance, and they have a great gluten free selection. Bread was delicious! They also had gluten free bread for him and he loved it. He also enjoyed his burger and gluten free bun! Server was very kind. It is a bit pricey but my boyfriend said it was completely worth it. Would definitely come again! read more

Bad service, small portions of mediocre food, high prices, dirty table, mistakes in order. Place has gone downhill and tonight is the last time we will visit. For the amount spent, we could have dined at an upscale restaurant. read more

This place has never missed for me. Every visit the food has been cooked perfectly. The mustard crusted chicken platter or sandwich is usually my go to, but the sheet nachos are also great. My wife and I ordered the burger last night and I got sweet potato fries, she got regular. It comes with no cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and special burger sauce. I'm sure I am one of the few people on planet earth that prefer their burger well done, but at the risk of being judged I have a point to make. This burger was SO juicy for being well done and wasn't the slightest bit red. The flavor was like it just came off the grill and the burger sauce with it was a great compliment to that flavor. The sweet potato fries were also cooked perfectly. Our server Lauren was great. She offered to make me a cherry coke when asking if they had one which was cool, I've never had someone offer to do that. We got a table by the bar so we could watch the Phillies game which was very nice. It's a little separate from the dining area but isn't rowdy like some bar areas can be. read more

This place is a chain hoping to distinguish itself. It is failing. Just average. You can do better for less... EDIT: so they asked for specifics: my friend had pulled pork: his feelings on it? "I'll never go back." I had the Turkey avocado club, and frankly, it wasn't bad the next day at home when I slathered mayo on the leftover half. My wife liked her salad and another friend liked the crab and lobster bisque... read more
