Hello and this is the first time that I visited this place. I have wanted to visit for awhile, because I am looking for a good breakfast and lunch spot. They open at 8 am and close at 2:30 pm every day. Mondays, they are closed. I was trying to figure out where to park. No street parking. They have a parking lot, where other businesses have the ability to utilize for their customers. There is a kiosk where you pay your money, different rates for different times. A quarter purchases 30 minutes for example. I received a receipt and away I went. When I arrived, about noon, I was promptly greeted by Kaysee, who was an employee. I said, I was interested in takeout and Kaysee handed me a menu. They also have dine-in. There is a good amount of seating available. Also, there are bar stools for counter eating. The menu looked great, with a lot of choices to choose from. I decided on a Caesar salad with chicken, a cheeseburger and a turkey club sandwich with side orders of sweet potato fries and tater tots. The cheeseburger was $12.00, the Caesar salad w/chicken was $14.00, the sweet potato fries were $7.00, the tater tots were $5.00 and the turkey club sandwich was $14.00. The subtotal was $52.00, tax was $3.12 and the total was $55.12. I paid in cash but there were other payment options available, like debit and credit card. It didn't take long to receive my food, like 15 minutes and everything was wrapped expertly in styrofoam containers and placed in a paper bag with napkins and paper utensils. I must say that Kaysee and the owner were very friendly and cordial folk. I asked Kaysee how long the diner was there and the owner said about eleven years. The food was delicious when I arrived home for lunch. The sweet potato fries were the highlight of the lunch!! I will return. Happy...
Read moreThe Havertown Grill on Darby Road is a local breakfast and lunch joint in the heart of Havertown. It features a clean, well-lit and open atmosphere and a very attentive and friendly staff. The menu includes standard breakfast fare with several upscale dishes. Ample parking is available at the lot on Darby Rd.
This weekend our tour of Havertown coffee and breakfast establishments brought my companion and me to The Havertown Grill. Conveniently located on Darby Rd, the Havertown Grill is built on the bones of my favorite Havertown greasy spoon: “Hannes”. The address is the same, but so much else has changed for the better. Where Hannes was Gritty, the Havertown Grill is more civilized and refined. In addition to the expected breakfast, the menu includes such things as Nutella, Brioche and Eggs Benedict. They also feature LavAzza coffee in bottomless mugs.
This morning I had Cream Chipped Beef on toast, (SOS), with thick cut bacon and home fries; my companion had Avocado Toast with fruit salad. Servers checked on us regularly, refilling coffee as needed. I think that the owner / chef was even chatting up a customer in the other room. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The cost for a large breakfast for two with extra bacon and an iced coffee came to about $25. Do yourself a favor and bring a friend to this great, local...
Read moreWe were in the area and hungry, and this place showed up as a top rated spot in Havertown, so we went. The ambience itself is fine... adequate. The service was fine too, the waitstaff was friendly and checked on us adequately.
The food was... disappointing. We got standard diner fare - eggs Benedict and club sandwich.
The eggs Benedict - while the eggs were cooked fine, the hollandaise sauce lacked any flavor. But the worst part was the English muffin and bacon. Both of them were super dry either because of overcooking or because they were likely stored in the fridge too long. Either way, it was hard to cut then with a knife and fork. The home fries that came a side were also dry... surprising because it is hard to mess up fries.
My wife's club sandwich was kind of the same. Chicken was low on any flavor even salt and pepper and the bread was doused in mayo.
Overall, a disappointing meal. At almost $45 for two people, I'd have excepted a lot better. However, the service staff were friendly and nice so I give them...
