    The Borough Classic Burger
    Nancy E.

    Downingtown's newest hot spot!! The Borough is in the middle of Downingtown and it's bumping!! Newly renovated and still working on the 2nd floor, it's sure to expand the success of this business. My visit was on a weekday for lunch. The bright, natural light and open spacious feel shined with bright energy. Diners are seated comfortably at booths, high top tables, window or outdoor seating or at the bar. I enjoyed the house-made seasoned potato chips, classic burger (cooked to perfection) and seasoned fries. My server, Haley was sweet, attentive and informative. Keith is a hands on owner manager. He proudly gave a me tour of the 2nd floor. Opening Thursday- I was impressed! Destination Downingtown! Parking- is a concern. There is limited street parking and 3 public parking lots with in a 10 min walk.

    My second time here and love it!! The atmosphere is so fun and inviting with the windows open. The servers have been so attentive and very sweet. Anddd the food is phenomenal! Definitely a new favorite spot

    Pretzel and cheese

    Everything was fire. I read the mixed reviews and was worried about trying The Borough. For no reason. Their nachos are fresh and excellent, their sushi rolls are amazing, (we had a salmon roll, shrimp tempura and a sweet potato roll). My son had the Nashville Chicken sandwich. We'll be back. Sorry we doubted them.

    Ice cream dessert- delicious!

    It's always a treat to find a beautiful tasting room serving decent California wines right here in…read morePennsylvania. While it's a bit of a trek for us, it's the perfect halfway point to meet up with friends. My husband and I enjoyed the red wine flight and ended up sharing a bottle of the Shiraz, which was drinkable and good. The food menu is surprisingly extensive--whether you're looking for a full meal or just some tapas to pair with your wine, they've got you covered. We didn't eat this time since we weren't hungry, but everything looked and smelled fantastic. The owners are welcoming and knowledgeable, which added to the great experience. My only complaint is the corkage fee if you choose to enjoy a bottle on-site. This is only the second time I've ever encountered a corkage fee at a tasting room, and we've visited many across some of the world's most renowned wine regions. It's a bit puzzling, especially in a relaxed setting like this. None of the Pennsylvania wineries do this but this tasting room and a tasting room in West Chester do and it's really obnoxious. But the good news is the prices at this tasting room are affordable and they don't charge a credit card fee! That said, we'd definitely come back. Great wine, great atmosphere, and a lovely place to spend an afternoon.

    Went to R5 Wines in Downingtown Saturday- a place we've been meaning to try for a while. Nice…read moreambience, and the wines are quite good. All of the wines are produced from California grapes in the Sonoma and surrounding region. Of the two whites they were pouring the Rousanne was our favorite (We took a bottle home). Enjoyed the Reds as well, I think they are very tightly structured with some good tannins so they need a little aging time to put their best foot forward. Of the Reds my favorite was the final one - a 2015 petite Syrah that was quite Jammy- consistent with a California style. Price wise they're similar to some of the other top end wineries in our region such as Va La. I will say that we had some truly outstanding cheese with our wine that comes from the same area as the wine was produced. We also took away cheese and charcuterie board to share with folks we were visiting. Both boards were really outstanding- And I will tell you that I am picky on that front. They offer a great "west coast style" wine tasting experience. Obviously it doesn't involve PA wines - but theses are still craft wines that deliver good value. A return visit is warranted...

    Just went for lunch yesterday at Mother. LOVED IT! I like the remodel, setting private booths in…read morethe center of the space was genius. It made for a more comfortable experience. I have to give a shout-out to the wait staff. Maria was amazing! She made recommendations and was always coming back to check on us...and always with a smile. She made the experience and is one of the reasons I would recommend the restaurant. She wasn't walking through the motions - a value-add for sure. Now to the food. We just had water with our meals, but they have a full bar and what looks like a fun cocktail list. We started with the mother.Guacamole. It was FANTASTIC! It's a must have. Then I had the Braised Beef Tacos - which is 3 tacos with a side of salsa verde. You can ask for other sauces, depending on how hot you like it. My friend had the Cured Pork Belly Tacos, which she loved. Since it was my friend's birthday, we shared the Apple Pie a la mode Empanadas - which were delicious. The prices were great too! For all of that, our bill, with a 20% tip was $63.00. (I've had lunches for 2 that end up being about $50 and the food wasn't as good and we didn't have the dessert.) Highly Recommend.....I will definitely be back!

    Not great, not bad, but in my opinion not worth the calories. First time trying this local spot in…read moretown and unfortunately wasn't impressed. I really wanted to be, because honestly I would love nothing more than to support small business. Their branding and graphics stood out to me, the aesthetic of the space (exterior + interior) was solid and the menu was intriguing. But there were a few things that stood out to me, I'll explain... Not necessarily their fault BUT their refrigeration had been down/recently repaired so some menu items we would have loved to try were unavailable. Healthier options were limited. Their outdoor metal seating was so incredibly uncomfortable, the chair arms physically hurt my legs. I couldn't sit still the entire time. Food took a long while to reach our tables, and I'm pretty patient when it comes to a wait time. The brisket empanadas we ordered to start were tasty, crunchy but did NOT need the white sauce on top. It made the empanada soggy in areas and made the dish feel heavy overall. I ordered the Ramen for my main. Aside from having it spilled on top of my legs and shoes when it arrived to the table by the young gentleman serving, it lacked umami and dimension. The egg was the tastiest part of the ramen dish, that should tell you everything you need to know. I wanted to love it, as I am a big fan of ramen. But it was very one note. But I will say the quesabirria my husband ordered was tasty, just a bit messy to eat but that is expected! Overall, would I come here again and/or bring friends/family to try? Probably not. But don't let my review sway you. Judge it for yourselves, you might order something that you thoroughly enjoy!

    In the last few weeks I've hiked trails near Downingtown twice. After my first hike, I came across…read morethe Station Taproom as a place where I hoped to get a beer (or two) while I was waiting for the train back home. After my second hike no question that I wanted to come back here for another visit. Station Taproom is an attractive and comfortable pub with what I found to be an unexpected menu. Many dishes had an Asian influence, but with the additional plus of showcasing some exciting combinations of ingredients. VEGAN BANH MI ::: I had this on my first visit. The sandwich was made with plant-based meatballs, along with carrots, cucumber, plus much more in the mix. (I detected a note of hoisin in the mix, though not mentioned in the menu). "Meatballs" were definitely unexpected in a banh mi. WONTON NACHOS ::: On my second visit to the Taproom, which was last week, I had "wonton nachos". As per the menu, some of the ingredients were "hoisin-berry BBQ pork" as well as mozzarella and pepper jack, and wonton chips. Presentation was important, and I could see that they had spent extra time in plating the dish. A finishing touch was the "micro cilantro" that was delicately sprinkled over the top. I love cilantro, but had never seen it in "micro" form. It was very fresh, wondering now whether they grew it themselves. BEERS ::: On both my visits, "Rachel" made excellent recommendations for hazy IPA's. Great experiences both times.

    I love Station. Great place for a beer and a game. They have the best French fries on earth...read more
