Inside with live music
Kevin Z.

Wish we had one of these where I live On work travel, looked for a place close to hotel, checked Yelp, and went with Ron's. Definitely not your typical pub. More upscale, local produce, huge menu, where everything looked good. Quite a few regular customers had great things to say, I took a recommendation of an "oval" (flatbread), mine was the Italian. Really nicely presented and tasted great. All the staff was friendly, there was live music, had an incredible time.

If I lived nearby, Ron's would be a regular stop for sure. The menu is huge....so extensive that there's literally something for everyone. What's better is that Ron is focused on catering to all kinds of food sensitivities, allergies and dietary needs/restrictions. One of our friends (that we are visiting here in PA) follows a gluten free diet but can eat the pizza at Ron's with no issues. It's because they make the pizza with Italian double zero flour...which doesn't bother her heightened gluten sensitivity. On top of that-the pizza is REALLY, REALLY good! We shared 2 large pies (special and margherita - 16 inch) and one small (pickle -10 inch). Yes...I did say pickle. Pickle pizza. That was my choice! I wanted to try something different...and I'm glad I did! Loved all of the pizza options but the sauce on the margherita was outstanding and the pickle pizza was GREAT. My semi skeptical gluten free friend went all in with me on the pickle once she tried it. I think she was surprised that she liked it so much. The crust on the pizza is also sooooo good. Super tasty. I wanted to keep eating but I also wanted to be able to walk/get up out of my chair. Rave reviews on the salads and turkey dinner as well. Ron's is always busy for a reason. Great food, excellent service, cool vibe. Highly recommend.

Italian Sub

I have had a lot of cheesesteaks in my 44 years on this earth, near Philly, in Philly, New Jersey, MD, and this is by far the best cheesesteak I have ever had! From the seeded roll to the perfectly seasoned meat, and the cooper sharp. I had it to go and I can only imagine how good it is if you dine in. My daughter got an Italian sub and she loved it, my wife got an oval and she loved that too! Fries were good, crisp crinkle cut. Food took about 20 minutes and they were PACKED! Customer service was great, will definitely be back!

My son and I went here today for a late lunch. This was our first time eating here and will def be going back!! We sat in the bar area and Josh took care of us. I asked Josh for recommendations and I took some and I was not disappointed at all!! Food was great, everyone working was smiling, friendly and wonderful. My son and I were stuffed and had leftovers but had to try dessert and we got the crème brûlée! We can't wait to go back and try more of their great food!! As a recommendation if you like calamari get their appetizer it's the best my son and I have ever had!!! Thank you Josh for a great experience!!!!

The Bar

Tucked away in a mini strip mall, Ron's resembles the usual version of your local happy-tappy serving up the usual assortment of nondescript pub grub to the usual less-than-discerning indigenous clientele. Well... not quite. Check out the restaurant's website... Their soups are made from fresh stocks that are by-products of their slow roasted meats and chicken... Their meats are antibiotic and hormone free... Their burgers are fresh ground certified Angus and never frozen... Their salmon filets are fresh cut by the chef; their mussels and calamari are fresh ice-packed, not frozen... Their turkey breasts are freshly baked on the premises from fresh, hormone-free fowl; their bacon is nitrite free... Produce is delivered 5 days a week, and all salads are made with fresh-cut lettuce; and the mixed greens are hand-washed, dried, and mixed by the kitchen staff; vegetables are all cut fresh and cooked to order... In addition, the menu lists the items that are gluten free, hormone/antibiotic free, spicy, vegetarian, clean eating, and/or made from scratch. Not exactly the culinary résumé of your average local happy-tappy... But the fact that a restaurant offers its patrons healthy cuisine is only part of the equation. Even the best of organic and/or local comestibles can be poorly prepared and sloppily presented. Fortunately, however, not only is Ron's food good for you, but it is pleasing to the palate and the eye as well. Taking a gander at the rather extensive menu, it may seem as if the kitchen's reach has exceeded its grasp. One cannot help but think that it would be difficult (if not impossible) for an eatery to do so many things well. But, on second glance, the bill of fare is not quite as gargantuan as it at first appears. Any restaurant, however humble or upscale, invariably does certain things better than others. And this is true of Ron's as well. But the key, in my opinion, is that this restaurant knows its focus, its limitations, and its clientele... and, therefore, continues to do a first-rate job across the board. A lion's share of Ron's menu, of course, is given over to the kitchen's superb interpretation of so-called "pub grub." But the restaurant also offers patrons a select variety of entrées, including a number of traditional Italian favorites. My recently sampled Eggplant Parmesan, for example, was tender yet firm to the bite, smothered in melted cheese, and sided with al dente spaghetti kissed by a rich marinara. Even better, however, was my dining partner's homey Black Angus Italian Meatloaf (pictured) topped with house-made marinara sauce and companioned by a mound of luscious garlic mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked broccoli florets. And don't let dessert pass you by. There are a number of palate-pleasing options to assuage your sweet tooth... but nothing quite measures up to the over-the-top Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. More than suitable for sharing, this irresistibly rich and creamy delight is decadence personified. So, forget the calories and go for it. The restaurant contains several dining areas. But the bar, bustling yet inviting, is the most comfortable seat in the house. Even if there's a waiting list for the dining rooms, which is not at all unusual, you can almost always squeeze in at the bar; either at the bar proper or at one of the high-top tables. Here you'll find a diverse, friendly crowd, equally friendly bartenders, and a bevy of TV screens to keep the hometown fans happy. If you're on the prowl for well-prepared casual fare that utilizes top-notch ingredients and won't break the bank, Ron's Original Bar & Grill is highly recommended for both lunch and dinner.

I've been going to Ron's with my family for well over a decade- when they still used to be Ron's Schoolhouse Grill. Consistently great food over the years. Good happy hour, specials, etc. Live music, fun ambiance, something for everybody on their giant menu! Love their pizza, pasta, calzone, turkey dinner, and their appetizers. Friendly and attentive service!

Greek Salad with chicken
Carrie S.

I was in town for a meeting and wanted to have lunch before heading home. The reviews looked really good so gave it a try. Once you walk through the doors, you would never know it was located in a strip mall. I thought the entrance area was a little dark but I think that's the ambience they are going for. Service was great! The place was packed at lunch on a Monday. I had the Greek salad and added grilled chicken. It was a large salad with a nice sized piece of chicken. The vegetables were fresh. I enjoyed it. The best part was the Modena balsamic imported from Modena, Italy. I was there a couple years ago and did a tasting and brought some home. I was so excited to see this as an option. I don't think there was even an extra charge. The menu listed so many items that are homemade or imported from Italy. Very impressive. The menu is also quite extensive. I feel like I didn't do the restaurant justice by just ordering a salad. I will return if I'm back in the area. One little comment is that my server wasn't telling her tables about the specials. I heard another server tell another table. Maybe more training is needed to maintain consistency.

Buy one, get one half ovals on Tuesdays!!

I love that Ron's has fresh, healthy, local food. I love that their menu informs you of the choices they make for the food we eat! Our waitress was superb, the hosts did an excellent job in seating a large party, everything we had--from sandwiches to pizza, appetizers to seafood, it was all perfect! They have delicious eggplant and the Seafood Oscar was simply the best!!

Unfortunately that's where it ends. Service is a 1-star. There seemed to be a language disconnect with the server. An overall near-zero experience. Our server was attentive to other tables seated after us who received their desserts before our entrees. Not one table check-in before, during or after the meal. Had to actually get up out of the seat to make sure the drink order was understood and it was right because the server did not seem to understand. Maybe that put the server off. We also flagged down other servers for assistance during the meal and even for ordering dessert. It took a long time to take payment for our bill. We almost got up to pay at the bar. Thus the crap shoot gamble at La Sponda. Atmosphere a 2.5 star. Loud atmosphere with a heavy metal music rotation. Good music, just not for this dinner atmosphere. Overall a 2.5-star on the strength of the food. We will not be back. Spending the money I did, even though the food is good at La Sponda, I don't want to risk a bad service experience again there. Not worth it for us but might not matter for others. Nevertheless - Caveat Emptor.

I ordered the strawberry Hugo, which was perfectly refreshing--light, crisp, and the ideal way to ease into dinner. Then came the seafood, and WOW.
