    Old school Delco gem! The location keeps it authentically local and preserved. None of that farm-to-table serve it on a brioche bun horse shit. Eggs, cheese, meat on a fresh long roll. Perfect set up for the rest of the day if you can finish it in one meal. And the price: $10.50 for all three!

    We love Sparky's for breakfast or lunch! Chris is the chef and every thing is prepared perfectly, and very generous portions too. Tucked away in the Delaware County Emergency Training Center, Sparky's is a hidden gem!

    If you're here for classes or actually work at the Emergency Service Training Center, you can't beat the convenience of Sparky's. And they're actually good! (If only they were open evenings!) Go for any of their lunch specials du jour. (Cash only, last I checked.) Their menu is pretty diverse for a lunch cookery, plus everyone's friendly. There's plenty of seating indoors (if you need to escape the heat) and out. Parking's cake since they share the ESTC lot.

    A hidden spot that can go unnoticed, one day I came here to renew my first responders license and noticed this place. I must say the breakfast was very cheap we were a part of 4 and everything was $22.00 I will definitely be back Enjoy this place as much a we did it was quiet a one man show and everything still came out.

    Steak and eggs w hash browns, avocado, gluten free toast and a large coffee!

    This place is a hidden gem Don't let the industrial neighborhood or building fool you! There's some fantastic gluten free, dairy free eats here. I mean tasty!!! I got a giant slab of juicy ribeye steak, 3 farm fresh eggs, crispy hash browns, avocado, gluten free toast and a large coffee with almond milk creamer for just over $10 bucks. An absolute dream of a breakfast and a great deal!. This is $20-30 meal where I live in Cali. The owner Chris is totally Amazing and cooked us a fabulous meal! He's a great guy to chat with and even brought me some beef bacon on the house because I asked him what it was. You can't go wrong here, in fact I wish I could order the entire meal over again just writing this review. If you just took a flight to Philly go check out Sparky's it's worth the short drive!

    My grandson's loved their breakfast.

    My grandson found Sparky's Cafe on the internet after our long flight from California. We really enjoyed our breakfast and Chris was a marvelous host.

    Hungry Man Breakfast. So good!

    I had the western omelette plate with home fries and coffee all for $5. Perfectly cooked. I'd say looks like private property but go in the first gate bare left and try and park. We'll worth it. a/c was kicking and he seated me in perfect view of TV. Let's make a deal.

    Nasty. I ate most of it cause I was hungry. Brown oil covered the eggs. In other words, used/burnt oil. Gross. Dude was cool though.

    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.

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

    This is our romantic getaway place -- and could be yours too. We love the area and have spent many…read morehappy times in Bucks County -- so much to do. This historic location was a rest and play stop for literary and theater New Yorkers in the 20s and 30s and probably beyond -- check out the famous signatures and notes in the albums in the main living room. The owners keep a handful of rescued farm animals (pot-bellied pigs, mini ponies, goats), and it is clear they are well cared for. It is a busy place for big wedding events now, and so we like to stay during the week. It is very relaxing to walk around the grounds. We saw a giant heron in the pond and deer strolling. There are so many nice places to sit outside with a bottle of wine and a book or snacks. Rooms are very unique and comfortable. You have a lot of different personalities to choose from: lofts, cabins, barn spaces, etc. Many have jacuzzis which can provide your evening entertainment, lol. We have not eaten in the restaurant because our top restaurant on earth is very close by, but when it was closed, Josh gave us great recommendations. And he made a lovely tofu scramble for breakfast as a special request. One sweet touch: despite checking the room, we left without my spouse's expensive phone charger. Housekeeping found it and ran after us before we could drive off without it. She did not have to do that. Always tip your housekeeping staff. The extended Covid months have been very hard on inns, restaurants, and event spaces, and it must be stressful for them as things come back to life when so many events have been postponed. It is wonderful to be back out again. We will return -- a lot.

    Ideal, fine-dine in a bucolic setting…read more From the entrance along the graceful, scenic tree-lined driveway you'll know you're inn for a treat (pun intended!). The Barley Sheaf is very serious about pandemic precautions, so masks are in full effect, and they'll walk you to your socially-distanced table in a beautiful, outdoor gardening setting. The inn itself is an architectural delight, as well, so you are surrounded by beauty on all sides. Service was pleasant and forthcoming. I wouldn't say that this is the finest level of dining, of course, you're not expecting EMP in the middle of Bucks County, but this is a good attempt, and people are pleasant and quite dignified. The guests were all well attired and the crowd is polite and kind. Food is of the adventurous character, which I enjoy. A lot of different flavor combinations (they like to do salé and sucré), beautiful plating, interesting textures, and good cooking techniques. My favorites were the octopus appetizer (so buttery soft and tender, which is a rarity) and the pheasant special, which was a pleasant and apropos surprise in this outdoor, country setting. Finally, this is a BYOB restaurant with perfectly selected wine glasses, fine silverware, and other special touches such as a freshly starched linens, etc. which elevate the dining experience.
