I was cold and hungry after walking around the charming Hallmark town that is Media, PA. House looked inviting, so I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. It was pretty quiet, so I was seated right away. There is a nice selection of Vegetarian friendly paninis. I ordered the featherweight sandwich with a side of potato wedges and Chipotle sauce. To drink, I ordered the mint tea, but I should've specified I wanted it hot because the server brought it to me iced. The sandwich was a good medley of flavors - tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar -classic and delicious combo. The potato wedges were mouth-watering. I think I just have a thing for potatoes, roast them with some salt and seasoning like they did here, and they're perfect. When I was finished eating, I paid upfront and was on my way. The man working the front was so nice and wished me a Happy Holiday season (I visited in December). A nice end to an already lovely day. read more

I decided to try House in Media on this sunny Thursday around 12:30pm. Super cute, small but cozy place with a homie vibe. 2 parties of 2 were checked in before me and the wait was approximately 20 minutes, so I opted to place a to-go order. I ordered the: Brisket & Cheddar Skillet - Potato, Slow Braised Beef Brisket, Green Onion, Salsa Verde, Aged White Cheddar and Fried Eggs. Once I opened the container in my car, I immediately noticed over easy eggs, not fried. There were no green onions in the dish. The potatos were undercooked and very firm. The brisket was tender but not super flavorful and the salsa verde didn't do much along the lines of lifting the taste. I only ate the brisket. (1.5/5) I also ordered a half order of the House French Toast - Slowly soaked, Vanilla Bean Brioche French Toast w/real maple syrup. The French Toast did not disappoint! I definitely tasted the vanilla bean and it was a delight to eat. I just feel $7.75 is steep for half a piece of bread and $14 for the full slice...meh. (4/5) Overall, I would rate my experience a 3/5. read more

Dropped by for brunch on a lazy Sunday morning--I had the omelet special-- presented in a cute cast iron pan of fluffy eggs, creamy salty smoked salmon which paired well with the hollandaise sauce that lightly bathed every bite. The southwest panini came piled with roasted Turkey, red peppers, and melted sharp cheese--I did not do much talking since my mouth was filled with food most of the time and I'll let the silence from across the table speak for itself. Excellent coffee and pleasant, caring waitstaff rounded out the excellent meal. Good to know: I believe parking in Media is free on Sundays or at least I've never been given a ticket and they can accommodate gluten sensitivities. read more

It's like 3.5 for me. They didn't have the entree that I first ordered so that was a bummer. My son thought the full Order of French toast was a little small but the dish was tasty. I think everyone was under whelmed with the breakfast potatoes. They were wedges but seemed over cooked and hard. The egg skillet was good As was the eggs Benedict My sandwich/panini was under whelming so much that I can't remember the name of it. It was dry and over done. The breakfast quesadilla looked good read more

It was a beautiful day so we sat outside which may be why the wait to order was a bit longer but overall the service was good. The menu had so many delicious sounding choices it was difficult to decide. All 3 of us were very happy with our entrees, my daughter especially loved the shakshuka she ordered. read more

Perfect lunch venue. Half a sandwich with soup and half a salad. Yes please. Tasty selections, fine service. read more

I stopped into House for the first time yesterday for lunch with my sister, and I was pleasantly surprised! The tomato soup was absolutely delicious. Usually I'm not a big tomato soup fan, but I loved this! The Winter Salad was also very tasty and light. I loved the goat cheese in the salad that made it a little creamy. The southwestern panini was also very good. I love that House offers a 1/2 and 1/2 option for lunch too. It lets you try so many different things on the menu depending on your mood. The 1/2 and 1/2 makes the meal extremely low cost too, and good food at an affordable price is always a plus in my book! I wish I would've known House was there before because I would've went a while ago! I'm excited to go back again and try their breakfast menu! read more

I don't come here often, but I'm delighted every time I visit. The atmosphere is super cozy, staff are polite, and food is always on point. As someone who travels 5 days a week for business, for 27 years, I've become quite critical... and I have nothing bad to say about House. read more

I've been here years ago and back then it was pretty good. Today was a way different experience for so many reasons. We came in and immediately felt like it was a mistake when I saw the look on the servers face, seeing my four year old. We were then sat at the table directly next to the kitchen service door, under a speaker for the music. It felt like we were being put in a corner as not to disturb the other people without kids. We ordered a few mins after sitting. After we ordered, a table was sat next to us. We sat for at least 45 mins before ever receiving our food. The table next to us got their food and was half way through before the server came back to let us know it would be late and apologized. At some point before this I heard him ask the kitchen about the food . It wasn't clear who missed the order. Either the kitchen lost the ticket or the server forgot to put it in. Anyone with children knows that having a young child watching others get their food and still waiting is externally difficult and frustrating. He was pretty composed despite the situation though. When we finally got our food, the server again apologized. We got the kids the Mac and cheese which my son said was good. I got the house fries and the veg head panini. The fries tasted like oil with a dash of truffle and the panini also tasted like oil and loaded with goat cheese. The veggies were decent inside the sandwich. Overall I thought the food was pretty bad and for the amount of time we waited without an explanation, I would expect something to try to rectify the situation other than a sorry. Even bread and butter while we waited would have been sufficient. I would not recommend this place to any family ever. If you're childless and you like less than mediocre food with long wait times, this place is for you. I'll stick with better options like Bittersweet kitchen. I think House has had better days. Sidenote: the bathroom is disgusting. Makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like. read more

I really like House! It's always so hard to decide between House and Bittersweet Kitchen up the street. I have to say, House has better coffee, but Bittersweet has better breakfast potatoes. Each place has their strengths and weaknesses. I love the atmosphere of House as it's bright and shiny where as Bittersweet feels tighter with its dark colors. read more

Superb menu and food. Be prepared for a chaotic atmosphere if you come on a holiday/ weekend. Best on a week day for breakfast if you want the true small cottage feel. read more

We stopped by on a busy Wednesday night in Media during Dining Under the Stars. We wanted to go some place we could get seated quickly. When we called, we were told the restaurant was closing at 8 p.m. A few people were seated outside. No one was inside. Upon our arrival, we quickly ordered from the limited menu, and we were again reminded about the closing time. As my husband was in the middle of eating his meatloaf mac and cheese, he found a horrifyingly long hair in his food. No apologies were given although the item was taken off the bill. Between the lack of ambiance, the disinterested server, and the limited menu (which now made us question the restaurant's cleanliness), we will not be returning. read more

Went for brunch, but got the Southwestern Panini! I love a good panini and this fit the bill! Perfect and yummy, the bread was light and crunchy. Super friendly service, thank you T. Only thing was paying $3.50 for diner coffee ... what?!? Will be back but won't order the coffee. read more

Delicious breakfast in a very nice setting with a great waitress named Olivia - awesome - we will be back!

This is a lovely restaurant with homemade choices. I enjoyed the half sandwich of salmon BLT with a half order of Greek salad with humous. The waitress, Mary, was very accommodating. We also had a chicken avocado sandwich and the asparagus soup was also good. The only draw back was the veggie panini which had a small amt of veggies snd mostly salad. I'll be back!!! read more

Got Takeout today for my sisters, mother and I. Their seated services make a world of a difference. Food is much better seated in. On our sandwich today the bacon was alittle undercooked and not enough chicken. Aside from that our experience at House everytime is the best!!!! The decoration is very cute. Its small so i would highly suggest reservations ahead of time. read more

It can be pricy but, good service and high-quality food. Try the little Dutch Baby skillets, it's great with breakfast and feeds 1-2 as a side or desert. Brunch is the best, but their Mac & cheese won't disappoint. Their soups are great to freeze and heat up later. I keep a few in my freezer for rainy days. Their specials are consistently good, and rotate often. They have some great homemade ice teas too. They're accommodating when it comes to Gluten free bread for sandwiches and breakfast options. Some of the food cans be kind of rich, so I take part of it home to finish later. I don't eat a lot of meat, but their beef and pork dishes are consistently superb. read more

Amazing food and amazing people! The owners are fantastic, down to earth, and supremely talented. Worth the wait on the weekend. Really fresh, good portions and a very positive atmosphere. Thanks, Mike! read more

Lil pricey but good food service and location. Consistently good and menu is diverse enough

Enjoy the food, the wonderful staff, and the amazing dishes. Come hungry. Leave satisfied.

I have been wanting to try this place after my treks in Ridley Creek State Park. I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. Great service, food and ambience as well as outdoor oil heated seating. "House" stands by it's name and is serving up comforts foods with a little gourmet/ gastropub flare e.g. "stack" grilled cheese. I enjoyed the perfect late lunch early dinner fall meal and look forward to trying other bites from this establishment. read more

This place is perfect. Eat inside or outside - the wait staff is attentive and professional. The food was delicious- I have a Garlic infused mushroom and spinach omelette with Swiss cheese. The sudden garlic mushroom bite was so a sweet surprise. My friend had a veggie burrito- her plate was clean at the end of the meal. Bring your own bubbles - the OJ is fresh and so good. read more

Soooooo close to 5 stars - and definitely 5 star service from Jack today for a leisurely, late lunch (L.L.L.) including that fantastic "power green" soup. I just love it. (Does contain dairy so not vegan - and very rich with cream and parmesan cheese thus negating the veggies.) You gotta try that soup. So delicious. read more

We came to House on a Saturday for brunch around 1pm. Place wasn't very crowded but it was fully seated. We put our name down with two people in front of us. We waited about 30-45 minutes and left. Although the place looked nice, the wait was far too long and neither the wait staff or manager came to us to assure us that we would be seated shortly. A quick "it should only be another 5 minutes" or an "I'm sorry about the wait, we will do our best to expedite your dish" would've gone a long way. Overall I would not recommend going for brunch read more

I went vacation to Philly. Popped in this place for the 1st time, and let me tell you what. I'm very difficult when is come to eating but the tomato soup here was BAM! You won't be disappointed. I miss tomato soup here so much. I'm from California but I definitely be back and I highly recommended this place if you are tomato soup lovers!! read more

Love love LOVE House. I go here for brunch as much as I possibly can. It is the cutest little restaurant ever. I love the artwork and decor inside of it. The food is really great. Although they took my favorite go-to off the menu, I have been trying other things that are just as good. Last time I went, I had the special, key lime french toast, and it was delicious. Don't have anything bad to say about this place! read more

A few of my friends went here for brunch and were very pleasantly surprised. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, and I will make it a point to take more visitors here. It did take us a bit to get our food, but it was certainly understandable by the number of patrons in the restaurant. I got the "Brisk & Eggs" which was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this dish & restaurant highly. read more

I've been to House a few times and every time I have enjoyed the experience. I really like how they half a "half and half" option because I am usually very indecisive when it comes to food. My most recent experience here was for brunch. We wanted good food but somewhere classier than our usual options. We decided on House after seeing that they recently added brunch. They are BYOB so we brought a bottle of champagne. We got there as it was opening and they sat us right away. It was a pretty nice day so we decided to sit outside. The server came over with the specials and they all sounded amazing. I had The Crab which was eggs Benedict with crab. My parents had a crab omelette special and a strawberry French toast special. We all loved our meals and the service was great. I would definitely recommend for brunch or lunch! read more

My experience started bad and got worse from there. We we told a 10 minute wait to be seated--no problem. What we weren't told was it would another 45 minutes to be served. I chose my meal only to be told AFTER waiting that they were out of my selected item--why wouldn't you tell someone what isn't available as you hand them a menu? The coffee was cold and we weren't offered a refill until our meals were ready--45 minutes after we sat down. The meal was awful--ordered an omelette, got something in a skillet (which was a different menu choice). Ask for white toast, was given wheat, which the server dropped on the table and kept going. If you don't have the staff to run a restaurant, then either have fewer seats or hire some help. Can you give 0 stars? Will NOT be coming here again. read more

First of all let me say that House is a cute spot in Media. The waitress was attentive. That was not the problem. The problem was that the prices must have ZOOMED way up since the July 2021 review saying they had "three entrees and drinks for $40.00". Just a couple weeks ago, three of us had lunch at House. The portions were SMALL and everything was A LA CARTE, even the toast ($2.00). My husband and sister each had the plain French toast ($12.00 each) and a side of sausage ($6.00 each). I had a very small omelet ($12.00). Coffee was $3.50 and a small glass of oj was $3.50. Our bill including tax was $60.42. WOW!!! read more

Great food and prices. We did a lunch after our booster shots and everything was amazing. Can't wait to try their brunch.

Food was delicious and service was incredible. 10/10 recommend, and in a super cute location too.

Had a wonderful goat cheese soup here with my sister, highly recommend! Great food, great staff

Fantastic food and quaint little spot. Small restaurant with maybe 10 tables so be prepared to get cozy. Always a line even when they open on weekends at 10am. I have been twice and will continue to dine here. This past weekend I had the brisk and eggs, as well as split the french toast. Both were absolutely delicious. The french toast was sliced thick, soaked over night and then cooked. The crust was crispy, while the inside was soft. Served with real, warm maple syrup. First visit here I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict, omitted the tomatoes. Will continue to come back for wonderful food read more

What first drew me into this restaurant was how cute it looked. But one look at the menu and you find out it is more than just a "pretty face" I got the full monty and it was so delicious. Before we left we found out it was BYOB so that is a plus to know for the next time we make our way out to brunch here. read more
