We've essentially "adopted" The Jockey since we were regulars at McKenzie before. Aside from the…read moredécor--and maybe a slightly smaller beer list--not much has changed. Overall, The Jockey is solidly average when it comes to food, service, and ambiance. Nothing outstanding, but nothing terrible either. Where The Jockey truly shines, though, is its Happy Hour value, which is easily the best in the area. Drinks are a great deal compared to nearby spots: half off all beers on tap, plus discounted house wine and cocktails. The Happy Hour appetizer selection is larger than most, and the quality is surprisingly good. Buck-a-shuck oysters! Only one variety, but for a dollar, you can't complain. Bonus points for offering Happy Hour on weekends, which is rare. If you're in the area during Happy Hour, it's absolutely worth stopping in.

My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!!…read more It was my birthday week, and unfortunately, my Tesla had been vandalized. True to my nature as a "prior proper planner," I already had an appointment scheduled in West Chester, so I headed down to get the repairs underway. While I waited, I decided to find some local eats. A quick Google search led me to The Jockey just outside of Philadelphia. The reviews mentioned it was a family-owned joint, and the decor looked incredibly inviting. The aesthetic actually reminded me of The Polo Bar in NYC; it has that same sophisticated, equestrian charm. Personally, I love horses--I know all the horses in the world, and they know me--and I know the horses. so I was eager to check it out. My mother picked me up from the dealership, and we "galloped" our way down to the restaurant. The Food I was surprised to find the place packed at 12:30 PM on a Tuesday, but I assumed we had just hit the peak lunch rush. We started with the calamari, my mother ordered a sandwich, and I opted for the salmon with drunken noodles. Honestly, I think the chef in the back was more "drunk" than the noodles. * The Salmon: It arrived super crisp and borderline burnt. * The Calamari: Overcooked, greasy, and wet--it felt like it hadn't seen a strainer or a paper towel since leaving the fryer. * The Sauce: The marinara was watery, almost as if the back-of-house was running low and decided to stretch it with water. The Verdict The only saving grace was the aesthetic. The decor is lovely, and they have a very inviting event space in the basement. However, you can't eat the wallpaper. * Food: 2/5 (A hard pass on the kitchen's execution.) * Service: 3/5 (The staff never checked on us while we were eating.) * Location/Convenience: 4/5 (Close to everything in a great area.) I likely won't be visiting this place again. I'm genuinely surprised this is a local favorite in such an upscale area--perhaps the locals just haven't ventured out enough to know what they're missing.

It was basically sandwiches and a couple of meal options I decided to go with a BLT since nothing looked good and the sandwich was absolutely disgusting. The bread was the cheap kind that you got at the cheap section of the supermarket. The bacon was also the kind you get premade in a supermarket. Nothing about it was gourmet or special yet it cost $17 totally not worth it. Although the waitress was very nice that's why I'm giving it to stars.

Whatever problems people reported back then have been corrected by Richard and Dawn, who arrived after those bad reviews and turned things around. I hosted happy hours with buffet dinners two nights in a row this summer for over 100 members of a national organization. This is a first rate operation. The coordination with Richard and Dawn was timely, flawless, and very collegial. We visited twice for coordination and to vette the place - Dawn and/or Richard met us both times and stayed with us as long as we needed. They even opened the bar early just for two of us - bartender Steven was superb also for the banquets and our recons. Two of us stopped by unannounced a month or so before our event while on a trip to visit our bus company and dined at Fern and Fable - it was "Fabelous." Richard met with us without an appointment. That dinner helped me pick the amazing food for the banquets. Dawn and Richard were present for both banquets to ensure everything went smoothly to include the audio visual. Everything went off like like a well oiled machine. There is plenty of on-site parking. Their staff was first rate. and the value is exceptional. I received an overwhelming number of positive comments from our attendees such as: * WOW!!! How did you find this place!!! * This is the best annual banquet and facility we have ever had. * The (various menu items) was fantastic. Before dinner, someone gave me a snarky comment of "well, I'll bet we aren't having lobster" to which I replied, "actually, we are." I received a lot of great comments on the amazing lobster mac and cheese that was chock full of lumps of tender lobster. My colleague who attended both banquets and the impromptu amazing dinner at Fern and Fable was so impressed that he plans to have his daughter's wedding there - and that is a 4 hour drive from his house!

I get certain benefits with being a lifetime titanium member, but they wouldn't even give me a bottle of water. No breakfast available even though they have a club lounge. The least they could do was leave the club lounge open for those members who qualify, and have some bottles of water, orange juice, and sodas, and even prepackaged muffins would be great. Imagine staying here and not having any services available. On top of that, the toilet in our room leaked all over the floor, two lights were out, the bathroom sink faucet was not mounted properly (it moved from side to side). The knobs on both nightstands were loose. This poor sad place is rundown.

A few things you should know before going to this hotel…read more First, make sure you get a good room location. The hotel borders both Rt 30 and Rt 202, so that many of the rooms have highway noise. The rooms are using single pane sliding windows, which are old and have some gaps, so sound definitely gets through. The WEST face, however, faces the shopping center and is much quieter. Second, this hotel is pretty dated. The rooms are clean, but they show signs of wear. The windows (as i said before) need to be replaced. Third, the front desk is a single station, and the staff vanished for about 20 minutes when I went down to report my HVAC problem. The hotel staff seems thin - so no coverage - and disorganized. The cleaning crews were great. I was originally put on the 5th floor, facing north (towards 202 at an angle) and I could hear the highway clearly through the window. I had to move rooms, because my original room had an HVAC problem, and the new room on the west side was much quieter. I don't know if I could recommend this hotel again, due to it's age and location. YMMV.

One of us got the scallops, which were delicious and cooked perfectly. The flourless chocolate cake was also a big hit. Given that 3 of the 4 entrees were so dry, we couldn't give 5 stars.
