We were in town to visit Longwood Gardens and wanted to get lunch before heading there. We came across this place and I have to say I'm very happy we did. The place had a nice ambiance for a town center bar/restaurant and wasn't too loud. We were seated fairly quickly and received great service. I ordered the OMG Burger and the Cream of Chesapeake soup. The burger was delicious! It has a fig jam on it that just bursts with flavor read more

*Indoor Dining Review* We came here for brunch and wasn't expecting anything special, but we were all pleasantly surprised with the restaurant overall, food and service. Restaurant: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 ~Restaurant~ Just walking in the first impression is this place has a lot of history, the first floor looks like a typical bar/restaurant type setup, with a ton of wall arts. There's also an option to sit upstairs with semi-open air (Can be close using garage doors..yes garage doors), which we chose since it was a really nice day. Everything's clean apart from the sticky tables. ...Also the check they give you at the end is in a book (Shown in the picture). Love the idea. ~Service~ Our waitress is very friendly, attentive and helpful. No complains here. ~Food~ What we order: -Breakfast Burrito (Delicious) -Crab Skillet (Very Delicious, highly recommended) -Crab Toast Breakfast (Delicious) -Smokehouse Skillet (Delicious) Overall all of the food we ordered are cooked nicely and seasoned, and the portion is just perfect. I was a little worry with the price of crab dishes (being a bit low to me) that we would get either intimidation crab or not enough if it is real crab. The crabs are real and plentiful. I was just telling my girlfriend how good the food is, and that we should go back for brunch again soon. Since there are a lot of other stores we can walk around and visit afterwards. I look forward to going back again. read more

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews! I've been to the other Grain location and loved them. This one is okay compared to the others I think. They do have this cool rooftop portion where you can open up and look out at the city. I got crab nachos that mostly had everything else and barely any crab meat. My pomegranate margarita was pretty good! I originally wanted the blueberry honey mojito but they ran out of mint for the mojito :( read more

Advertises and lists their boneless wings as gluten free on the menu, only to be told, sorry they aren't and our menu is wrong. How can you advertise something as allergy friendly when it is not all together? Something as ignorant as this could easily put someone in the hospital with an allergic reaction! read more

It's good! Not the best restaurant in the area food wise, but the atmosphere is nice. I live close by & it's nice to go to for a quick bite or for some drinks on the roof top with friends. For a night out it's nice because it's lowkey so you can have a nice convo with people & it's not too loud. If family friendly is your vibe it's also family friendly. Like I said the rooftop is a plus. There's also live music inside a lot of the time & it's good. Cute restaurant :)))) read more

Made a pit stop in Kennett Square to go visit a good friend of mine from undergrad. I asked her for recommendations to grab a beer in the area before we were supposed to meet up for dinner. I'm glad she recommended this spot! She ended up meeting up with me for a drink and we decided to stay for dinner due to the lovely rooftop space that they have. They had a good local draft selection and the chicken sandwich was satisfying. We had great service too who was very attentive to when we needed drink refills throughout our time there. If I'm ever back in Kennett then I will definitely be back! read more

Today was the end of a long week of school for our group and we wanted a place to go and relax and just talk out and be ourselves. So we picked here because we frequently eat at all the places right in town. We walked in and who we thought was just the host turned out to be the MOD (manager on duty) at the time. We requested to sit outside upstairs and we walked up the steps and we were gonna be seated in the sun and everyone agreed it was to hot. and requested to sit on the side with no sun but a nice breeze. We asked very very kindly to move and in response was told that it's Thursday and it gets busy so we can't sit on that side or put a table together. Mind you we know how busy a Thursday at 4:00 in town is... ITS NOT. So to make small talk we were just like listen we had a long week and the sun is just not gonna do it for us sorry it was just stressful week and hot and we just wanted relax, and the mangers response was (EVERYONE HAS STRESSFUL DAYS) and walks away and doesn't give us a table and goes back down the steps and throws a temper tantrum like a baby. Meanwhile sends the nicest waitress we could have probably got all evening. She said you guys can go ahead and sit there he said he would allow it... How dare he send that nice girl up to an angry table after he made a rude comment back and stomped downstairs like a baby. We told her many times thank you thank you thank you! She made our experience 100% better. She got our drinks and got us food and was such a kind soul. She truly is a MVP. She should be making more money then the manager guy who couldn't even hold a conversation with us and just got nasty real quick. Our food was amazing Our drinks were amazing Whoever the manger was on board at that time tho. You are the reason why a giant giant group of us were about to walkout. You would have been the reason your establishment wasn't thriving in that moment. There were 7 of us and we all got atleast two drinks and all ordered food. So our bills averaged 45$ per person. Which in total was gonna be $315.00 not including all of us tipping the nice girl you sent upstairs to us. Also to end , a two top came in when we were leaving, the entire restaurant was empty.. except the bar downstairs had a few people. Ps: also one of us came late and you were nasty and rude and made a comment about our group to them before they came up as well. You honestly have issues you need to work out but maybe do some toe touches or something idk...... read more

Food was excellent; service was superb!! I'm a vegan with a dairy allergy. Success!! I am beyond happy with my meal and my children (3-6 yrs old) really enjoyed their meal. I will be back soon! read more

We went on Saturday for brunch after the kennett run. There wasn't a lot of people and we got seated right away. The food: Personally the only thing I like from their menu is their Salmon BLT. The rest of table thought the food was just okay. The service: I would give this place a 3 stars but we had a great server (forgot his name) that was pretty funny and attentive. Overall a good experience but wouldn't get anything other than The salmon BLT. read more

Paid the extra $4 for the protein(chicken). As you can see that was a waste of money considering the amount that was added to the nachos. The lettuce is cut at 6" pieces and is very frustrating trying to enjoy . The "crema" is okay , not much in the flavor department . Really like this place and hope that this review makes the product match the price! Have a good day! read more

They're on a list of vegetarian friendly places to go, but don't buy it. To say "substitute vegetarian burger" for other burgers isn't enough. To have a salad isn't enough. To have a flatbread isn't enough. I'm positive that simply having a veggie burger as an option doesn't mean that burger is being cooked separately from the same grill as the other burgers. Not to mention using the same vat for chicken tenders that's being used for fries. Re-introducing animal fats to a vegan/vegetarian diet causes sickness. read more

I wanted to really like it at Grain, and I'm sure eating in is fun, especially with the rooftop, but I can't get over how I paid $14 for a salad with maybe only a cup (maybe even less) of greens. I did choose to pay an additional $6 for shrimp, and they did give a fair portion of that. It was a good salad, but I think just overpriced. The sweet potato fries were very good, and a good size portion for their price ($4). The staff were nice and friendly. Overall, a place worth trying, but I can't say it was anything special. read more

We headed here for brunch to meet friends. Place is larger than I thought with a large upstairs which looks as though it will be fun when the weather changes. We started brunch with a pitcher of pomegranate mimosas 28.00 decent price. It was 3/4 filled with ice and the juice appeared to have a funky taste. We mentioned to waitress the taste and she conferred the juice was recently changed and she would let them know. We didn't hear anything beyond that sort of odd. For meals we had the salmon blt, breakfast burrito, the bacon sliders , s'mores French toast and the warm donuts and chicken. So we had a good sampling of the menu. Judging by the table everyone seemed to enjoy the meal but everyone had a comment about their food. "Salmon seemed dry" , burrito was under seasoned and when they tried to cut it it was a mess, the bacon sliders were good but greasy , the s'mores French toast was good but super sweet. I had the donut and waffles . The menu did not specify it was chicken fingers so I had higher hopes, not to mention they tasted like fish probably from shared frying. It came plated very well. The spicy syrup add on was good and flavorful the biggest let down was the stale donuts that were used. You can heat up a stale donut but it's still stale tasting. All in all was a miss. The price point was about 25.00 pp all in with tip. Definitely not rushing back. read more

The local watering hole. Grain is great for what it is and I LIKE it! I have sat at the bar for drinks and apps, I have sat downstairs and upstairs which are all great for different occasions. I like the atmosphere upstairs if you wanna have a conversation and I also like listening to live music and arching the game down stairs. Maybe butting into some conversations happening at the bar. We have brought our kids here a couple times for dinner which worked great they have good options for the whole family when you are looking for a solid meal. Shareable app items are solid as well, the fries are good and pretzel are the usual at the bar. I'm a fan of this place! read more

Grain can be described as "meh" at best. Decent spot for sandwiches and all-American fare, but nothing out of the ordinary if you're looking for a great dining experience. The hummus platter is a decent way to start the meal, or the giant crab and cheese pretzel if you're looking for quantity over everything (seriously, it's huge), but otherwise there's not much noteworthy about this restaurant. Mediocre food, and a higher price point for sandwiches - with so many restaurants popping up all around the Kennett area, I wouldn't recommend choosing this spot over anywhere else for a bite to eat. All in all, 2 1/2 stars. read more

Went for brunch with my son & I couldn't have picked a better spot to try. Being new to the area I am always excited about trying new restaurants & this was hit it out of the ball park! The food was Instagram worthy but more importantly delicious! I wish I didn't send my son home with all our leftovers!! I can't wait to go back again! read more

Overall I really enjoy this place, but I ordered an omelette there today that was the most pathetic omelette I've ever seen. And they stood behind it. As in, they told me it wasn't a mistake. They meant to serve an egg with a pinch of crab and onion and a tablespoon of cream cheese. The cream cheese was all I could taste. Two thumbs down. read more

A very limited menu of generic food that isn't worth the price you pay. Nothing about this place wows you or makes you want to come back. The drinks aren't good, the beer list is average. The servers are nice yet always inconsistent and slow. As others have pointed out, the only thing that keeps this place going is THERE IS NO WHERE ELSE TO GO. There aren't any other bar-ish places around. So you end up here. Honestly stop going here. Just get drunk at home and order takeout. This place is not worth it. read more

I live in town and went for a beer and to read a book at the bar. there were maybe 5 people at the bar. when I sat down, the bartender asked if I had a ticket. I asked for what. he said it was "Trans Bingo Night" and I needed to have a ticket to sit at the bar. I don't know what planet this place thinks it's on, but I was not able to get a ticket to sit at the bar. I spent my money elsewhere. it's never impressive anyway. read more

A++ food and service. Don't know why this place has lower star ratings. Would definitely visit again. read more

After a brisk walk at Longwood Gardens we were searching for "the best Bloody Mary in Kennett Square." We ended up here and they were excellent! The right amount of horseradish, house made jerky garnish and a rim of Old Bay. We also shared a crab soft pretzel. Totally recommend the combo. Sunday at 2:00 pm was quiet, we sat at the bar. read more

I recently gave Grain another shot and felt it was worth it to upgrade my rating. We stopped in with out-of-town guests after their trip to Longwood. It was a Saturday, but there were plenty of tables. There was live music, and the singer was fantastic. It also wasn't too loud--just perfect in the background, and we could still have a conversation. The best part of Grain, in my opinion, are the drinks (go figure!). They have a wide beer selection, and their "beer bible" makes it easy to choose a beer you'll like. I ordered something like a holiday mojito; it had sparkling cider, cinnamon whiskey, and mint. It was quite good! The part that's most lacking is still the food. We wanted a snack, and settled on the chicken nachos, which I found disappointing. There's almost no cheese, and the cheese that's on there is the preservative-laden nacho cheese. For a real restaurant, I'd expect some real cheese that's been melted. There were not enough toppings for the chips, and I found the chicken to be bland (although another in the group remarked that she thought the chicken was the best part). The chicken was also cold, which is fine, but wasn't really what I was expecting from a warm appetizer. On the plus side, they did come out really fast. Also, our server was really attentive. Basically, this is an okay place, but nothing special. It's a bar, with food if you get hungry. I might be back if it's convenient, but there are so other bars in Kennett that have good food, so Grain remains at the bottom of my list. read more

If I could leave a negative number of stars, I would!!!! What a terrible first and last experience at this restaurant. My husband had actual raw chicken in his meal!!!!! Raw Chicken!!!!!!

Thankfully the service was good, other than that nothing about this place makes me want to go back! Sticky tables... and the worst burger I've ever had! I did forget about the fried pickles...they were good! read more

Grain is very cool and trendy inside. The food looks very appealing, yet is just OK tasting. The alcohol selection is wonderful as well with many Philadelphia regional selections and well curated whiskey and scotch roster. As stated the interior is inviting to a hip crowd, and very clean. Wait staff is also nice and relatively knowledgeable about the beer selection. They are open quite late but it was not busy at all around 7 when we ate. I would come here for drinks again and have dinner elsewhere. read more

Giving it a try. So. Sat downstairs because the upstairs was to hot, not their fault; we're in the middle of a heat wave. Downstairs was definitely more comfortable. Ordered meat cheese board, fried pickles and the Cobb salad. Our daughter had chicken fingers and fries. Loved the cheese platter and fried pickles. Wasn't a fan of the Cobb salad. We both ordered a "crush" grapefruit for her original for me. Strong but good! Overall I would def come back. There is a few items on the menu I would like to try. Logan was our server, kind, attentive and quick; good kid! read more

Food was disgusting. I got a burger and it smelled funny, and was cold. Wendy's burger would have been better. Not to mention the service sucked. This was on a Sunday. The place used to be good for Kate night drinks but their not open late anymore. If you can't make a burger right how can I trust anything else to be be good. Worst burger I ate in years. read more

Girls night out! We sat on the roof deck which was enclosed for winter. It was very relaxed and we're looking forward to going back in better weather! Our waiter was fabulous. He was honest about the food and provided great service. I had the mahi mahi tacos which were delicious - nice spice level and creamy guacamole with mango salsa to cool it all down. We were steered away from the roasted carrots and got the cauliflower instead which was yummy. A great healthy meal although the burgers and fried avocados looked amazing too. A few girls got the citrus avocado salads which were a big hit too. Wine and beer selection was great. They don't take reservations so get there early. We'll definitely be back! read more

We got a seat at the bar. The bartenders were more interested in talking to each other than helping customers. We ordered nachos thinking that would be a safe choice but they were the worst nachos we've ever had!!! Bunch of broken chips thrown on a plate with minimal toppings and they were cold. We ate a small amount. No one checked on us or asked if we were ok. Very disappointing!! read more

I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt but it failed to deliver in so many ways. I did like that (free) bingo is offered, so it provides some extra means of diversion. Unfortunately, that's about as far as "pros" go. Our blueberry-lavender mojito totally lacked flavor. It sounded so appealing, but on paper alone. Mashed blueberries were in the concoction, but I really couldn't appreciate much blueberry, lavender, or rum flavor. The kitchen apparently ran out of cheese sauce for the nachos. The waitress asked us if we wanted to order something else, skip it altogether, or be willing to let them use a different type of cheese. We opted to try the different type of cheese. She bypassed our table a number of times thereafter and it was very difficult getting her attention to place our dinner orders. When the nachos finally arrived, they were disappointing. I understand the original cheese sauce had run out but I think if they had just melted any type of cheese to drizzle over the nachos, our nachos would have tasted just fine. Unfortunately, the nachos were just piled with nonmelted shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese and really didn't deliver for me. My turkey burger was much too salty. The waitress never bothered to ask if we wanted fries with our sandwich and instead, assumed we all did. Fries were an additional $2/plate. Had I been asked whether I wanted fries, I would have certainly said no. By the time the bill came and I saw this, I felt past the point of arguing. My other half found someone's cellphone in the bathroom and kindly brought it over to the bartender (since no wait staff were easily locatable, as per my point above). You would think she would at least be polite about it but was just told coldly to "leave it on the counter." As I mentioned, I did like the free bingo but the service and food were just very disappointing and I would not come back. read more

Disappointing all round. Food is eh, service is questionable, and management is horrendous. Drinks are over priced and really aren't that good. Bar is geared towards the young college kids. Not the greatest atmosphere. Better options in the area. read more

We had a great lunch today! The service was excellent, the wings were on point. We were pleasantly surprised

This place is the worst restaurant/ bar in kennett, and it's not even close. The only reason they have made due the past few years was because of the need for a cool bar, and they're location. It's frustrating that people still throw their money away at this place. Boycott and get them to close. They're are literally too many stories of bad experiences I've had here between interactions with management to horrible food. Take an extra 10 minutes and go somewhere else. read more

For the record, I've never left a negative review but my wife, in-laws and I were not let down once but twice in a 2 day period. I couldn't in good conscience let them think this is how you do business. Day 1 - Tues lunch. Brought in a small family group. We were the only people in the place excluding the 2 patrons at the bar downstairs... the only people upstairs. Waited 45 mins for lunch after stating numerous times to the staff we were on a time crunch. I had to personally go into the kitchen to pay my bill because no one would come back to check on our table. It was almost comical the lack of attention we got for an empty place. There were more workers than customers and those workers looked to care more about socializing with each other than tending to paying customers. I had to take my food to go. Next time I'll save $50 and go to McDonalds. Day 2 Wed - wife convinced me to give them a second chance. It was just the 2 of us and it was a dinner time. Ordered 2 mixed drinks that were absolutely undrinkable. Wife ended up ordering a beer (figured they couldn't screw it up). Ordered 2 appetizers. Took almost an hour. Unbelievable. Server was sooooo sweet. We felt bad for her. She kept apologizing for the delay. Not her fault at all. When the mushrooms and brussel sprouts arrived they were uneatable. We didn't even eat it. Had to ask for the manager. Manager was apologetic and took the food off the bill, but never addressed the poor service or food from the kitchen. This place could be great, but minus a server here or there, the place sucks. I'd say leadership is in question to say the least. I wouldn't waste your money. read more

We came here for Mothers Day brunch today and had such high hopes. Everything I ordered they did not have: Jersey for their Bloody Mary, hollandaise for eggs bendict ( and asked if I was okay without it???) wrong side came with the terrible burger I ended up ordering. Should have been comped for something for such a lousy experience after a $158 bill. We won't be returning. read more

Possibly the worst Mother's Day brunch this mother has ever had. After a 1 hour and 10 minute wait, our food arrived. I ordered pancakes and sausage. The sausage was so heavily microwaved that it was rubbery. The pancakes were paper-thin and tasteless. Pictures don't do justice to how bad it was.....and after waiting over 1 hour. The kids food was okay...they ate it. Sad because I like grain and have had some decent experiences here. But never consider them for brunch again. read more

I've lived in Philly for years but this is easily the single best cheesesteak I've ever had. The bread is soft yet the outside is slightly crunchy. The meat was juicy and not greasy. The onions were cooked to perfection and the cheese? My lord. This is a sandwich symphony. The best of all time. Also wait staff is super friendly and attentive, everything was super clean and they take covid regulations very seriously. Highly, highly, recommend this place! read more
