Really great food in a cute spot. I will say that every time I've been here, service has been slow due to what seems like not enough staff for how popular this place is. It's certainly not the staff's fault and they've all been lovely, but it's been a significant wait every time we've come here. Moving to the food, it is phenomenal and why this place has a five star rating despite the above. The spinach artichoke dip and the tofu are both the best I've ever had at any restaurant ever. My husband got the steak sandwich and the bread was amazing and the steak was cooked perfectly as well. I got the curried cauliflower salad and the dressing was a bit too strong for me and unfortunately the salad was dressed very heavily. But the cauliflower was still cooked well. Despite the service situation, the food is so good that I will definitely be back. read more

Goat's Beard is one of my favorite spots in Wayne. Honestly, the only reason this isn't a 5 is that the entree portion sizes always feel a bit smaller than they should for the money. I don't know if they raised prices during COVID, shrank portions, or if it was always a little imbalanced. It's not even a financial thing, I'm just still hungry after eating an entree. Curiously, the desserts are huge. Like shared for the table huge. The Pickle Pizza is excellent, as is the Steak Mac & Cheese. The Pork Taco are also really good and could sub for an entree for a light eater. Anyway, this place is my go-to before a show at 118 North across the street. I've never been disappointed, I just end up spending more than planned. read more

The Goat's Beard - Steak Mac & Cheese - New American Near Me - Wayne, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for a dinner with my kids. It looked like they had some great options so we stopped in. We were greeted right away and had the luck to sit on the patio. It was great weather out so ti was really enjoyable. Paige was our server for the evening and she was fantastic and super friendly. They had a drink special with their home made limoncello, but it came with coconut and I am not a fan of coconut so she was able to get me a limoncello spritzer which was AMAZING!! My youngest had the burrata and she said it was delicious and enjoyed it a lot. My oldest had mussels and she said it was a little spicy, but she felt the mussels were cooked well and very enjoyable. I had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious with lots of cheese (my favorite). It was a great dinner and very enjoyable. Be sure to stop by when in the area. read more

This is a review of the pizza. I have ate at/ordered from The Goat's Beard and their sister restaurant over one dozen times over the past three to four years, with the pizza ( pepperoni and/or smoke show), being the most ordered item. Recently, I got the pizza from the Goat's Beard in Manyunk. It was completely different (in a bad way), but I thought maybe it was a fluke at the location. Ordered from the Wayne location this week and it was the same issue. The pizza was mostly cheese, with a small amount of sauce right in the middle (previously it was a normal distribution); less sauce; smaller; and less flavorful. I cant say the ingredients were of a lesser quality, I am not sure. But overall it is so disappointing I won't order their pizza again. Really not sure what fell off here or why, but it went from a great pizza to not even mid. read more

Great food, beer and service. On a work trip, came in right when the game was going on Sunday. Inside is a nice little old style bar, with a good vibe. Hostess/waitress very kindly got me seated in a good location to watch the game (surprisingly not crowded). She constantly checked on me during my time there (excellent service). I ordered one of their draft beers and a small Detroit style pizza ("The Smoke Show"). They have some other sort of special items such as the steak and mac n cheese. It was between that and the pizza, but the pizza was calling my name. Didn't plan on finishing the whole thing in one sitting, but it was that good. Sadly didn't save room for dessert. If I'm in the area again, would definitely stop by. read more

We stopped in at the goats beard on their patio for a lovely dinner. A local small business in the Philly area. Swerving up all your favorites and Detroit style pizza. The pizza was delicious we got the smoke show which is their version of the meat lovers. The hummus platter is a great appetizer served with bread, veggies, and pita chips. Their ceaser salad is big enough to share and could be a meal in of itself. Service was great and an excellent patio stop in downtown Wayne. read more

This was our first time dining at The Goat's Beard, and we will definitely be back. The menu is interesting and well thought out. There's something for just about everyone. The staff is friendly and professional, and the young lady that waited on us was helpful and provided great recommendations! They have an amazing bourbon list as well! The restaurant is nicely laid out and offers indoor and outdoor seating. Great bar, as well - very cool vibe!!! read more

We came for happy hour on a Thursday. The burger and fries are only $10 and it was so tasty! Well seasoned and juicy without being greasy. Fries were great too. I also got a two glasses of white sangria for $7. Only down side we were sat at a table that was booked for a reservation so after our second drink was dropped off we were asked to move which I think it would have been appropriate to comp those drinks for us. The only space available standing area by the door as the bar was full or outside but it was about 43 degrees. We had only been there about 50 minutes so this was a mistake on staff for seating. read more

The Goat's Beard - Spinach & Artichoke Dip TGB Smash Burger - New American Near Me - Wayne, Pennsylvania

The Goat's Beard is a restaurant that specializes in New American cuisine, craft beer, and whiskey. This location can be found off of N Wayne Ave. in Wayne PA. This was my first time dining in Wayne so I'm glad it was a memorable one. Service was good and the food was delicious. My friend and I shared the Coconut Calamari, TGB Nuggets, and the Steak Mac & Cheese. The calamari comes with all rings, no tentacles, and topped with jalapeño, red bell pepper, scallions, cashews, and coconut sweet Thai chili crunch. So unique, so good! The TGB Nuggets are made with free range chicken, buttermilk brined, and then topped with blue cheese crumbles. The chicken was light, tender, and packed with flavor. The Steak Mac & Cheese is made with grass fed sirloin, gnocchi, 3 cheese béchamel, pretzels crumbs, and steak jus. I would prefer a different type of pasta for this dish but it was still enjoyable. TGB has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup and delivery are both available.

Whole summer I been hitting everyone with "I am craving a burger." I haven't gotten one until I did here and let me tell you it was mouth watering. Our server Lily was so kind and attentive, especially during restaurant week, I could not imagine the chaos. We sat right out front and it was great for people watching and also didn't feel in the way. Sit outside while you can:) we went for our cat's bday and even she enjoyed it. read more

Came in for a family dinner on a Friday night. We had made reservations on the Resy app - the place was very busy, so the reservation was key. Our service was great - the server stopped by frequently to check in on us without being too overbearing. Food was good - we had the calamari and peach burrata toast appetizers, the beet salad, and steak + mac n' cheese, pizza and burger mains. Would definitely come back! read more

Came here for dinner with my best friend. They always have seasonal drinks and food. The drinks are fun since some are Eagles themed and yes, they can be made into mocktails. Service was great. Got the sweet potato soup and shared grilled Brussel sprouts. They do have TVs if you want come here and watch a game. read more

I must say, we were more than pleasantly surprised. Getting late, looking for a spot to get comfortable, I came in tired and actually, not hungry. My buddy, Joe was very hungry. I was just going to get a small salad, but Joe talked me into trying the "Detroit-Style Pizza". I am so glad he did! Our waitress, Rachel had a smile on her face that was so contagious that I forgot I was tired and as soon as that delicious dish landed on our table, I couldn't wait to dig in! Crispy and quite tasty! That is what Pizza is supposed to be! Thank you, Joe for suggesting the pizza and thank you Rachel for making it all so great!! read more

Really good food, service and ambiance. I try to make it there everytime I'm in the area.

Arguably the best bar on the Wayne strip! Great selection of draft beers to watch the sporting events. One thing is for certain, Goat's Beard has the best cheesesteak egg rolls in the area. Their Detroit style pizzas are also INCREDIBLE. And I've never had a day without exceptional service. read more

Such a cute spot! We sat outside and enjoyed downtown Wayne. Came with a big group and everyone enjoyed their food. I got the pickle pizza gluten free. You could barely tell it was gluten free which I love. The menu had lots of great options. My parents got the OG pizza and said it was wonderful. The carbonara pasta came out and my sister in law said it was so good she didn't want to stop eating it. I also ordered a mocktail- love that they have that for an option and it was delicious. The inside decor was adorable. I would definitely go back. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and the bar area was decently busy. They had live music which was a great feature, but it made it a little difficult to communicate with the waitress. The food and drinks were fantastic and came out super quick. They have a nice outdoor section which would be great in the warmer weather. I've driven by a hundred times and it always looks busy, I understand why now. read more

We live 10 mins from the goat's beard but have never visited. Head really good things about this place. The decor and ambiance of the place is casual yet excuses a bit of upscaleness that would make me want to visit again. The place was packed when we visited and despite having reservations it was a slight wait (no biggie). Food was good, not great. Overall a solid 4 read more

Fantastic atmosphere and food. Beer selection is great, bourbon selection is even better. I sat at the bar (typical) and service was on point. The "Detroit Style" pizza is on pointe and legit. A new must stop locally while in town on business. read more

Went in for a fabulous dinner. Here on business travel and I love to eat at the local restaurants. All of the meals we had were unique in flavor and full of fun. I had the grilled salmon that sat on roasted potatoes and oven roasted zucchini. Under that was a nice thin layer of taziki sauce. It had so much flavor and the salmon had a nice flaky seasoned crust. In this picture is a 1/2 sized portion as we split the OG pizza. The pizza was good but not amazing. I was reminded that I am not a fan of the Detroit style pizza. The crust was just too thick for me. The pizza was good but like I said not my liking. I am more of a thin crust kind of guy. One of my coworkers had the steak mac'n'cheese that was also super yum. It had a wine based gravy cooked perfectly. Yum! My only disappointment was that I did not save room for dessert. read more

This restaurant has a warm, welcoming vibe with great food and a solid selection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

Just happened to visit a few car dealerships in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's right on the corner of one of the main streets, so if you get a window table you can watch the people and traffic going by. The dining room is a bit small, and whenever someone opened the door they brought in the weather outside for the couple of seconds it took the draft to sweep around the room. Also, if you are sensitive to smells like most people in my family, the scented candles on each table may bother you. Our service was quick and pleasant. We ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls and fried mozzarella - that wasn't on the menu because it was a special - as appetizers. The mozzarella was the best I've ever had. Although the tomato sauce on the bottom was cold, it was also very flavorful and the olive oil gave it a bit more freshness. It was the real star of the meal. The egg rolls were also good. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and served hot! For the main I ordered a small OG pizza, which is mostly just a Detroit styled pepperoni pizza. It was very good and my favorite was the tomato sauce on it - different than the sauce underneath the fried mozzarella. My mother tried the Turkey pastrami, although she could only take a few bites since we gobbled up the appetizers quickly. I tried some of the fries that came with the sandwich. They were a little too well seasoned - too much salt and pepper, but they were some of the few fries I ate cold and were still more than edible. Also wanted to mention, the staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were spotless. All in all, this is a great restaurant. Hopefully if you plan to visit when the weather is agreeable, you can sit outside and enjoy the bustle of this town. I would definitely return to do just that! read more

The food is at the best mediocre here. I was surprised to see such a crowd at this place and the sizes of each dish were huge. When they say pizza, they mean a large pie. Please don't mistake it for a pizza. It was very thick with a ton of cheese on it. Even when we asked, the waitress said a large would be good for 2 people but she should have told us that it was a "pie" and not a pizza and a small would suffice! The waitresses were always in a super hurry and removed the plate before we even said "I am still eating". We had to tell her a second time not to take the plates away! read more

Once our server realized she had a table waiting, she apologized and took our order. It took quite a while to get the food, and the drink that was ordered did not come as ordered. Server took it back to the bar get the right drink, and the correct drink did not come until we were more than halfway through our meal. It's a noisy place! With all of that said, the food was great and we would go back. read more

We stopped in for an impromptu weeknight dinner. We were immediately acknowledged and brought to our table. We ordered the steak mac & cheese, and the pickle Detroit pizza. The steak dish came out pretty cold but that was a non issue and promptly rectified. I will say, the steak was very chewy and not the best quality. Despite this, the gnocchi was excellent. The cheese sauce was super creamy and delicious. The pickle Detroit pizza was also excellent!! read more

My son's family treated me to a birthday dinner here on Sunday. My daughter in law had to track somebody down to take our order, but after that the service was good. We all enjoyed our food, starting with two appetizers, the cheesesteak egg rolls and the calamari, both of which were delicious. The kids had never had that style pizza before, and found it very filling. I had the seared salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed the veggies that came with it. We shared a brookie with a candle so they could sing happy birthday to me. The leftovers heated up nicely. I would eat here again if I was in the area. read more

While it was a small menu in terms of food options, all three items we had were really good! Was hoping for a little bit more in variety when it came to craft beers, but opted for a cocktail and had the Ziggy Stardust. It was excellent but two of them would have had me on my butt by the end of dinner! Not for a frilly drinker for sure. The TGB Nuggets we're definitely worth the hype in other reviews. They were just crispy enough and the heat from the Sriracha mixed with the blue cheese crumbles was *chef kiss*. For dinner hubby had the steak Mac and cheese which he really enjoyed. I had debated between the braciole pizza and the pickle pizza and opted for the pickle Pizza which was SO good. I could only eat half of it after sharing the nuggets, but also because the salt eventually catches up with you. If we return I will definitely be trying the braciole pizza. As for ambiance and service, the ambiance is definitely cozy and service was friendly. Would return! read more

Came here to merry a friend for dinner. Really cool place with a nice outdoor seating area. It is right in the heart of Wayne. There's a lot nearby but it fills up fast. We were able to find parking on one of the side streets, we just had to walk a little bit. The place was really busy, even for a Tuesday night. That goodness we had made a reservation. We sat inside and the first thing I noticed was that it was really loud. After we had been there about half an hour, a guy started playing live music. Then the volume really increased. My daughter and I each ordered a cocktail which we really liked. My friend got wine. For my meal, I had a turkey club. It was a good sandwich but it wasn't a traditional club. This one had thick bread so only two slices. I really enjoyed it and was able to take half home. The fries served with it were really good. I would come back here again but not if I really wanted to have a conversation with someone and probably not the best date night option either. Next time, I think I will come for lunch! read more
