Best Lunch Restaurants in Downingtown

What an unexpected and pleasant surprise this restaurant was, nestled within the old Eagle Tavern. The ambience and decor really aligned with the broader theme of a southern farm to table kitchen. The cocktails were spectacular, especially if you like whiskey, because they have an incredible selection. The sweet potato hush puppies were perfectly fried, and the honey and sauce were delicious. We ordered the short rib and salmon, and the chef was able to make adjustments to the vegetables to address an allergy issue. Both plates were licked completely clean because everything was absolutely delicious. We also got the skillet cornbread and while it was two cut slices on a skillet and not an actual skillet, the flavor was delicious. The only adjustment I would suggest there is the butter was chilled, which made it hard to spread. I wasn’t as excited about the dessert selection but honestly, I didn’t need dessert because the meal was just spectacular. Special shout out to our server, Maddie, who was perfectly attentive without being ever present.

Friends and I went to the Pajama Brunch on New Years Day at the White Dog Cafe in Chester Springs. This is the first that I have been to this new White Dog. It is wonderful. It has tons of character and many small rooms. They have retained the country charm of the old home. The food is always excellent. My two friends had the specials, which were yummy. The waffles with fruit compote and syrup with a taste of coffee were delicious. I recommend White Dog for a terrific dining experience.

Great food and reasonable prices. Will be going back!

We had the cucumber, tomato, and onion and green pepper salad with lemon vinaigrette (delicious salad!) We shared the spanokopita appetizer which was crispy on the outside and firm but tender on the inside (delicious!) We also each had the short ribs over mashed taters with asparagus, string beans, and zucchini. The short ribs were fork-tender and tasty but very salty. No dessert, we were stuffed.

We have been to Osaka many times for both dine-in and carry-out. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the wait staff is terrific. Everyone is so kind and helpful. The food is always perfect, hot, and presented wonderfully. The sushi is flawless and presented nicely. My family loves everything there. Sometimes, it can be hard to find a place like this, and we hope they do well (I think they will) Respectfully, Sue
