Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Downingtown

I have been to brookside several times and always leave satisfied. And mio was very good and my table mates enjoyed their meal. Also. Our server was very good, quite professional. I have Celiac and I'm always concerned that I will have cross-contamination issues but I've been fine every time. Thank you.

I have been wanting to go to Cedar Hollow Inn for a long time and finally made it! What a wonderful experience from the ease of making the reservation, to the hosttess greeting to the phenomenal older waittress and the food was outstanding. I will go again, and again. Wish I went years ago :)

Charming re-creation of an English Pub. English Pub food has gotten much better than it once was, and The Dandelion's food was excellent. From the Dandelion salad to the Root vegetable soup to the Rabbit Pie, all excellent. Our server (I regret I've forgotten her name) was perfect - friendly, efficient, professional. Only negative (for us) was the noise level - we ate upstairs during the lunch rush, and it was busy and noisy with energetic conversations with several tables of 6 or so surrounding us, which of course has pros and cons. But still highly recommended. We did not inquire if a quieter table was available - I think it may have been.

Love the outdoor, heated patio room. When I'm in Philly for business, I commonly take clients there. Relaxed atmosphere and able to have conversations without yelling. Great whiskey selection too.

We visited Iron Hill at 6pm on a Saturday night and were seated in the dining room. We made a reservation which was helpful because we were seated rather quickly. It was very busy that night and the acoustics in the dining room make it a loud environment when it’s packed. It can be hard to hear each other if you have a large group around you. Our server, Andrew, was down to earth and knowledgeable. He did not rush us and answered all of our questions about the beer and food menu. We ordered a few beers, the hummus appetizer, Margherita Pizza, OMG blt and the chocolate hill dessert. We never received our hummus but Andrew took this off the bill once our main food arrived. The kitchen looked overloaded and so did the staff. Our meals were amazing! I like the twist on the BLT adding the pepperoni with the mozz and pesto-mayo with balsamic glaze. Yum! The dessert - eh, not so much. The brownies seemed old and dry and we could not even cut into them with our spoons. We will skip next time. Overall it was a decent experience with yummy food and a wonderful server. If you’re looking for a quiet location to eat or have someone hard of hearing, this is not the place. Def recommend making reservations on the weekends!
