Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Swarthmore

I always enjoy the Dandelion. The decor, the food and particularly the service are always wonderful.

We have been patronizing Gulliftys for decades…and in this day and age isn’t it nice to have a place where you can just go, meet friends and family or just grab a bite with your spouse! It’s casual and consistent! The staff from the front of the house to the back always friendly and competent. (Also a constant) The food is always fresh and actually homemade down to the everything and classic yet interesting. There is something for everyone and it’s always a “yes” when a group gets together! Thank you Gulliftys for being YOU! Keep it going!:)

Great service, great bites, great reunion with friends!!

Never disappointed eating at Butcher Bar. The best is the Ribeye cheesesteak. Unfortunately, it is only a special -- please add to the daily menu.

Again, this is a 4.5 star restaurant—across all categories, including value and quality of food. The service, for me, was top notch—not only were servers attentive but were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making my experience enjoyable. I had some nice recommendations regarding some simple questions posed (burger or fish and chips? For which I was guided to an excellent burger at perfect requested temperature!) and my water and Guinness glasses were kept filled without the servers being too cloying. The Guinness was an excellent pour as well, and the Brussels Sprouts appetizer with kielbasa was a different twist and also well prepared. The only nitpick I had in terms of food was the hand cut fires, which were house made and fresh, were a bit tepid and flabby when served. The other nitpick was a seating issue—I was a bit nippy while seated at a hi-top in the bar area—the side door which was directly behind me let in cold air each time it was open. This is practically uncorrectable by the restaurant—so treat this not as a condemnation but as a pro-tip for your experience there (don’t sit behind that door in the winter!) And you should go—this was a quality experience and would go again (and again).
