    Stuffed shrimp

    I eat here several times a month. I have enjoyed the early bird special. I also have ordered off the regular menu numerous times. The food is delicious. Yesterday I had steamed clams. In my opinion they were the best I ever had.

    Prime Rib. Real Veal Cutlet. Fabulous Steak. The BEST Snapper Soup. There isn't an entree I have not tried in 20 years. And I have never been disappointed! It's true American fare here. Typical steaks, chops, chicken and fish. You won't find Avocado Toast or Almond Milk here but what you will find is good food at good prices. And great oldtime wait service. You are respected as a customer and they value your business. AND, there is none of this new up charging you to use your card.

    Crab stuffed shrimp

    I generally like old school restaurants like Lehman's Tavern, so I was looking forward to my dad's birthday dinner there. I find the old style of décor charming. Service was good, both from the bartender (I had a drink at the bar since I arrived early) and the waitress. But my actual meal was underwhelming. A bland salad, cole slaw I didn't like, and the crab stuff shrimp was not what I expected. The shrimp was completely covered in a layer of crab, not exactly stuffed. And the crab itself must have had a lot of filler because it was light on crab flavor. All the "crab" overwhelmed the shrimp. I also tried my nephew's cheesesteak, and it is a legit Philly cheesesteak. The restaurant is close enough to Philly that they know how to make a good cheesesteak. My dad enjoyed his meal, so I may be back next year to sample more of the menu.

    We really enjoyed the intimacy of our dining experience: the table setting, quiet, "date night" vibes. The food portions are pretty large. Like a LOT of food for a low cost! The food was just o-k for us. My husband's steak wasn't seasoned at all, the salmon and green beans weren't exciting. They could go a long way with creating more flavor through sauces and/or seasonings. I think the lobster was amazing and that's about it. Bottom line: great environment, friendly and attentive staff, very affordable, you leave full, but flavor is lacking.

    First off I sent everything back to the kitchen. I was very unsatisfied. My food was undercooked and lacked seasoning. I tried giving the restaurant the benefit of the doubt. I had a 4:15 reservation and I was the only customer there. The tables were well set up which lord me in. When I smelled sewage water that should have been my Q to leave. Instead I sat down waiting on food I disliked while swatting away flies. I wish it was a way to give 0 stars.

    Filet and Shrimp Lejon combo was terrible! The entire entree was awful! Never going back!!

    Very expensive entree of Filet and Shrimp Lejon combo, my dog wouldn't eat it either. Done with Lehmans!!

    Stopped here before the Ed. Sheeran concert in Philadelphia. We just wanted to have a light dinner before the show and our server, Barbara was very hospitable and nice. Had a cheeseburger and fries. Both very good and we shared French onion soup and stuffed cabbage soup, both satisfying. It's a bit old style and homey. We are looking forward to coming back again for dinner.

    The menu was great, prices reasonable. I thought I'd found a hidden gem but the food subpar at best. The crab cakes boast no filling, they looked good but had no flavor! In fact the plates of seafood we had were all bland. The staff was pleasant and friendly but the food was nothing to brag about. Rather than eat leftovers for lunch we went out.

They have a lock box connected to the front door. No ketchup at the table just salt and pepper shakers. You get the vibe that when it opened it was a decent looking place. The buffet is on for lunch and dinner. I think the lady said $19.99 for lunch and $24.99 for dinner. The menu has a lot of options for breakfast, sandwiches and entrees. The lady serving me was nice and friendly. She recommended a cheesesteak. It came with fries and was subpar. The roll was forgettable and although the meat wasn't terrible it needed more cheese in the mix. The fries weren't anything memorable. On my second visit I had the Philly Special which is two eggs, double of two meats and either grits or hash browns. I had my eggs sunny side up, the meat was a huge portion of bacon (bacon needed to be crispier) and sausage patties. The toast tasted old and the hash browns weren't crispy at all. The coffee I added was pretty good. The meal was just under $10 and the coffee $2.50. If your looking for a filling breakfast for around $15 you won't be wowed, but it was a big meal compared to some other local places. On both lunch visits there was barely anyone in the building. Some folks came to grab a bite to go, but pretty much empty right at lunchtime. If you need a quick stop for a bite, or a quiet place for a lunch meeting this isn't a terrible place, but they need to clean up the place. Lose the lock box on the front door and make it easier on the eyes. Don't expect much, stick to the basics and you'll be fine. They get the third star because the lady working was very nice.

Let them know I'm right down the street and just need a 5 minute notice and they would call back when it wasn't busy - they called me back in less than 30 minutes and said ready in 10 minutes. I love the fact that if they are too busy and can't accommodate at that time they're honest. It's a small family business the Mom is the host and probably one of my favorites she is like old school south Philly meets Mother Theresa! The chef is a perfectionist and I always try at least one special and have never regretted it. I am utterly amazed each time at the dishes he comes up with. Overall price wise they cannot be beat, huge portions and every bite was heavenly. Where can you get this much fresh, delicious food for under $100 no where except New American Bistro. It's also extremely rare to get take out and it be as good as served in the restaurant. The beet with pistachio encrusted goat cheese salad with raspberry dressing. This salad had it all! Everything was so fresh and crisp. There were so many bursts of flavor. This was a special hopefully it will be added to the menu. Rating: 5/5 Spicy crab chowder - we always order. It's my husband's favorite soup. Rating: 5/5 Blackened Scallops with Raviolis and Lobster Sauce - we always order. Appetizer size comes with 4 blackened scallops and a couple ravioli. Rating: 5/5 Maryland crab cake with Ravioli and pesto sauce. This was my first time trying and typically does not get pesto dishes. This had so much flavor and was refreshing if that makes any sense. Appetizer size comes with a very large crab cake and a couple ravioli. Rating: 5/5 Gnocchi's with Jumbo Lump Crabmeat and Gorgonzola Sauce- this is my absolute favorite dish. The Gorgonzola sauce you could drink. I dip the homemade bread in the sauce after. It's my favorite. I'm a huge Gorgonzola fan I put it on everything. The Gorgonzola sauce on this particular dish I find to be mild and perfection. I just woke up thinking of this dish it is so unbelievably good. Rating: 5/5

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

    I, like other reviewers, received a solid block of inedible meat instead of the short rib I…read moreordered. Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given. As for the rest of the experience, the service was nice if a little difficult to grab, it's quite noisy inside, and the drinks were meh. There are too many other good restaurants to come back here.

Today was no exception. Their grilled chicken sandwich was not what I hoped for. On the plus side, it was a generous portion of chicken, most of which I took home. As a negative -- at least for me -- I like a flat filet, with grill marks. This was "chunky," rendering it clumsy to eat. It simply didn't taste grilled at all. And the chicken was dry. T ordered a country omelet that was filled with breakfast meats, cheddar and peppers. Though not my thing, I agreed it was pretty good. His grits were creamy, buttery and delicious. Coffee is strong and served in the old-fashioned heavy mugs that I favor. Our server was friendly. ("Where are you from?" she asked, picking up on my Brooklyn accent.) I asked if Greek lemon soup is ever on the menu. She said that the owners are Turkish, then gave me a rundown of their specialties, all of which sound delish. (Alas, no avgolemono.) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Folcroft. The menu is diverse, the restaurant is clean -- as pointed out by another Yelper AND our waitress. If you order the right thing, you'll no doubt be pleased.
