    Inside with live music
    Kevin Z.

    Wish we had one of these where I live On work travel, looked for a place close to hotel, checked Yelp, and went with Ron's. Definitely not your typical pub. More upscale, local produce, huge menu, where everything looked good. Quite a few regular customers had great things to say, I took a recommendation of an "oval" (flatbread), mine was the Italian. Really nicely presented and tasted great. All the staff was friendly, there was live music, had an incredible time.

    Pickle pizza 10 inch

    If I lived nearby, Ron's would be a regular stop for sure. The menu is huge....so extensive that there's literally something for everyone. What's better is that Ron is focused on catering to all kinds of food sensitivities, allergies and dietary needs/restrictions. One of our friends (that we are visiting here in PA) follows a gluten free diet but can eat the pizza at Ron's with no issues. It's because they make the pizza with Italian double zero flour...which doesn't bother her heightened gluten sensitivity. On top of that-the pizza is REALLY, REALLY good! We shared 2 large pies (special and margherita - 16 inch) and one small (pickle -10 inch). Yes...I did say pickle. Pickle pizza. That was my choice! I wanted to try something different...and I'm glad I did! Loved all of the pizza options but the sauce on the margherita was outstanding and the pickle pizza was GREAT. My semi skeptical gluten free friend went all in with me on the pickle once she tried it. I think she was surprised that she liked it so much. The crust on the pizza is also sooooo good. Super tasty. I wanted to keep eating but I also wanted to be able to walk/get up out of my chair. Rave reviews on the salads and turkey dinner as well. Ron's is always busy for a reason. Great food, excellent service, cool vibe. Highly recommend.

    Italian Sub

    I have had a lot of cheesesteaks in my 44 years on this earth, near Philly, in Philly, New Jersey, MD, and this is by far the best cheesesteak I have ever had! From the seeded roll to the perfectly seasoned meat, and the cooper sharp. I had it to go and I can only imagine how good it is if you dine in. My daughter got an Italian sub and she loved it, my wife got an oval and she loved that too! Fries were good, crisp crinkle cut. Food took about 20 minutes and they were PACKED! Customer service was great, will definitely be back!

    My son and I went here today for a late lunch. This was our first time eating here and will def be going back!! We sat in the bar area and Josh took care of us. I asked Josh for recommendations and I took some and I was not disappointed at all!! Food was great, everyone working was smiling, friendly and wonderful. My son and I were stuffed and had leftovers but had to try dessert and we got the crème brûlée! We can't wait to go back and try more of their great food!! As a recommendation if you like calamari get their appetizer it's the best my son and I have ever had!!! Thank you Josh for a great experience!!!!

    Tucked away in a mini strip mall, Ron's resembles the usual version of your local happy-tappy serving up the usual assortment of nondescript pub grub to the usual less-than-discerning indigenous clientele. Well... not quite. Check out the restaurant's website... Their soups are made from fresh stocks that are by-products of their slow roasted meats and chicken... Their meats are antibiotic and hormone free... Their burgers are fresh ground certified Angus and never frozen... Their salmon filets are fresh cut by the chef; their mussels and calamari are fresh ice-packed, not frozen... Their turkey breasts are freshly baked on the premises from fresh, hormone-free fowl; their bacon is nitrite free... Produce is delivered 5 days a week, and all salads are made with fresh-cut lettuce; and the mixed greens are hand-washed, dried, and mixed by the kitchen staff; vegetables are all cut fresh and cooked to order... In addition, the menu lists the items that are gluten free, hormone/antibiotic free, spicy, vegetarian, clean eating, and/or made from scratch. Not exactly the culinary résumé of your average local happy-tappy... But the fact that a restaurant offers its patrons healthy cuisine is only part of the equation. Even the best of organic and/or local comestibles can be poorly prepared and sloppily presented. Fortunately, however, not only is Ron's food good for you, but it is pleasing to the palate and the eye as well. Taking a gander at the rather extensive menu, it may seem as if the kitchen's reach has exceeded its grasp. One cannot help but think that it would be difficult (if not impossible) for an eatery to do so many things well. But, on second glance, the bill of fare is not quite as gargantuan as it at first appears. Any restaurant, however humble or upscale, invariably does certain things better than others. And this is true of Ron's as well. But the key, in my opinion, is that this restaurant knows its focus, its limitations, and its clientele... and, therefore, continues to do a first-rate job across the board. A lion's share of Ron's menu, of course, is given over to the kitchen's superb interpretation of so-called "pub grub." But the restaurant also offers patrons a select variety of entrées, including a number of traditional Italian favorites. My recently sampled Eggplant Parmesan, for example, was tender yet firm to the bite, smothered in melted cheese, and sided with al dente spaghetti kissed by a rich marinara. Even better, however, was my dining partner's homey Black Angus Italian Meatloaf (pictured) topped with house-made marinara sauce and companioned by a mound of luscious garlic mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked broccoli florets. And don't let dessert pass you by. There are a number of palate-pleasing options to assuage your sweet tooth... but nothing quite measures up to the over-the-top Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. More than suitable for sharing, this irresistibly rich and creamy delight is decadence personified. So, forget the calories and go for it. The restaurant contains several dining areas. But the bar, bustling yet inviting, is the most comfortable seat in the house. Even if there's a waiting list for the dining rooms, which is not at all unusual, you can almost always squeeze in at the bar; either at the bar proper or at one of the high-top tables. Here you'll find a diverse, friendly crowd, equally friendly bartenders, and a bevy of TV screens to keep the hometown fans happy. If you're on the prowl for well-prepared casual fare that utilizes top-notch ingredients and won't break the bank, Ron's Original Bar & Grill is highly recommended for both lunch and dinner.

    I've been going to Ron's with my family for well over a decade- when they still used to be Ron's Schoolhouse Grill. Consistently great food over the years. Good happy hour, specials, etc. Live music, fun ambiance, something for everybody on their giant menu! Love their pizza, pasta, calzone, turkey dinner, and their appetizers. Friendly and attentive service!

    Buy one, get one half ovals on Tuesdays!!

    I love that Ron's has fresh, healthy, local food. I love that their menu informs you of the choices they make for the food we eat! Our waitress was superb, the hosts did an excellent job in seating a large party, everything we had--from sandwiches to pizza, appetizers to seafood, it was all perfect! They have delicious eggplant and the Seafood Oscar was simply the best!!

    Greek Salad with chicken
    Carrie S.

    I was in town for a meeting and wanted to have lunch before heading home. The reviews looked really good so gave it a try. Once you walk through the doors, you would never know it was located in a strip mall. I thought the entrance area was a little dark but I think that's the ambience they are going for. Service was great! The place was packed at lunch on a Monday. I had the Greek salad and added grilled chicken. It was a large salad with a nice sized piece of chicken. The vegetables were fresh. I enjoyed it. The best part was the Modena balsamic imported from Modena, Italy. I was there a couple years ago and did a tasting and brought some home. I was so excited to see this as an option. I don't think there was even an extra charge. The menu listed so many items that are homemade or imported from Italy. Very impressive. The menu is also quite extensive. I feel like I didn't do the restaurant justice by just ordering a salad. I will return if I'm back in the area. One little comment is that my server wasn't telling her tables about the specials. I heard another server tell another table. Maybe more training is needed to maintain consistency.

We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, chicken with crab, veal saltimbocca, pasta with shrimp and crab, pasta with meatballs (the person who ordered didn't care for the meatballs but is very particular), baked salmon, and chicken parm dinner. Only issue I would address is that some of the parties food came out at least 5 minutes before the others (about 1/2 the party) which made it awkward.

I ordered the wild mushroom papperdelle. There was no evidence of wild mushroom in this dish. The papperdelle ate plain. The mushroom "ragu" was sliced button mushrooms that were barely sautéed in a watery/ milky broth (not creamy) as if they did not cook the water out of the mushrooms. The Parmesan was added on top at the table to both dishes. Was there a hint of truffle? Maybe in some truffle oil-maybe. The dish was grossly underseasoned. Not a dish I would reorder. I also ordered the octopus appetizer salad. The octopus was seasoned with harissa (not quite Italian but ok). Unfortunately it was slightly overcooked leaving it chewy. The greens were well-dressed arugula. Again not a dish I would reorder. Our waiter was doing double duty in the kitchen while the bus girl was bussing the table so fast she took our flatware before we could pack up our leftovers while tossing the dessert menus on the table. Just did not get a welcoming vibe and would not return.

Right near the Exton Mall, I swung by yesterday after shopping at Boscov's for Christmas presents and opted for a slice of the ir Pizza for a light lunch. Yes, I saw several of their cheesesteaks carried by to other customers but tasting one will be on my next trip, but the thick , generous portion of rib eye steak, Coooer cheese, spilling out of a seeded roll for an astounding $15 looks like an incredible deal. But I digress- this family- run restaurant knows how to make astonishingly great pizza, and can do any of their offerings on GLUTEN-FREE crust. They use Imported Italian flours and cook up their crusts crispy, well done, and delicious that beats the mouth-feel of anything I have had in the area. The meats are of superior quality and flavor, and everything is available by the slice and displayed in a case of fresh slices in so great a variety you will have difficulty choosing just one! The slice named "The Charlie" called out to me, totally on visual appeal, and I learned secondarily that it sported classic pizza sauce, creamy Mozerella, pepperoni, finished with pecorino Romano, fresh Basil, and hot honey- It knocked my socks off! Whether you are in the mood for an amazing pizza, or a cheesesteak, you've gotta try this place. It is clean, well staffed, with a great vibe!
