Glad I popped in to the Chestnut Hill Grill while in the area! The staff continue to be attentive, the food is consistently yummy and the ambiance is still relaxed and chill! The Chestnut Hill Grill continues to be a neighborhood gem!
This is one of my favorite places. Parking: a private lot in the back, which is small and fills up full or the side street with metered parking. Atmosphere; very loud Service: I've been coming for years to this location and I've never had a bad server. Whether I've sat at the bar & at the tables upstairs, which I prefer because you do get a signal up there, If you are seated in the basement, know that the service is a little sketchy down there. I always get the Asian noodle salad with chicken I believe it is called and it is so delicious!!! The only thing is, I wish they would give you more noodles and a little more chicken. it's one of my favorites. The other thing that I love to get and I'm not sure if it's stillon the menu, is the catfish tenders. Oh I've also gone during happy hour. They have some pretty good deals. Their burgers are good. Overall, I always enjoy my experience with dining here and will continue to go back.
Another fab summer of 2024 Alfresco-friendly dining, this time at the Chestnut Hill Grill. One of my favorite places to eat when I visit my family is Philly. It's still summer, but I love the cooler temperatures that usher in fall. I had a perfect day except for a breeze that kept taking my napkin off my lap. My menu choices: I had a glass of Prosecco with the Golden Beets Arugula Goat Cheese salad. I liked that the goat cheese was like a tot you could eat if you wanted, not all over the salad. Sometimes, I have a love-hate relationship with cheese. Finally, I didn't feel guilty about sharing Italian lemon cake I must comment on how pretty the annuals still look at the near end of summer; this lovely array made my alfresco dining experience lovely.
FIREEEEEEEEE! i got the lamb burger!!!!!! i finished it in like 2 minutes. so freaking amazing. i would get another one. my mom got the lamb chops and those were good too. also got the clothes pin drink.and the service was great
The hostess welcomed me with a smile and escorted me to a table along Germantown Ave. My partner and I enjoyed lunch on a beautiful sunny warm Thursday afternoon. I ordered the wings, he ordered the coconut shrimp, and we shared a side of fries. We each washed it down with a cold beer. The service was good. The food was good and we wouldn't mind returning to try another item on the menu that's served after 4pm.
