Best Fun Restaurants in Newtown Square

Fantastic local restaurant. Food and service are outstanding.

This restaurant has changed their dining experience several times over the past 35 years, but it remains the same family owned business from the beginning. This most recent renovation is a winner. Just a few miles from the Devon Horse Show venue on the Main Line, The Jockey Tavern is a warm and inviting restaurant with a gas fireplace in the bar area and comfortable, upscale pub seating in the main restaurant; it feels like your sitting in a country club clubhouse dining room. The cocktails were perfect and the meal was delicious. My dinner guest started with the bacon wrapped shrimp and had the Lobster ravioli with scallops as her entree. I enjoyed the Tomahawk Pork Chop which was juicy all the way through (pork can get dry if not served correctly). We finished the night sharing a tart slice of Key Lime Pie. The prices were moderate and the waitstaff was exceptional. Our server Anna was amazing and we enjoyed speaking with her throughout the night. This was our second time dining at the Jockey Tavern and we will be back again, I highly recommend the place.

Our server Anna was soooo knowledgeable, sooo charming, and just an overall pleasure! All staff were pleasant. Ambiance was good. One huge open dining room, bar, kitchen. Nice casual atmosphere. Food was fan-freaking-tastic! Only disappointment was the calamari, which was just breaded and fried. Not seasoned well. BUT, the rest of it was phenomenal. Beef tartare was silky and buttery. Arancini was rich and cheesy. I had the short rib Marsala which is one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Finished by a white chocolate apple butter cake that really was the icing on the cake! Beautiful job North. We will most certainly be back to see you!
