We went to this new restaurant, knowing we would be comparing it to Snyder's of Willie Grove. Not only were we pleased, we were very surprised.
We walked in and recognized the restaurant set up. We were greeted by a hostess and asked where did we wish to sit. We looked around and showed the hostess our preferred location and we were seated there. All if the tables has clean neatly pressed tablecloths covering them and full set of silverware wrapped in a linen napkin.
Bonnie, the waitress on duty, served us and what an exemplary job she did! She started us off with
our drinks, one water and one coke. When she returned, she told us about the specials and yet we knew what foods we were going to order to see if they were still the same recipe as with Snyder's.
We looked over the menu and found our favorites and even a surprise... freshly cut and prepared onion rings. Usually they are frozen ones cooked....Not so.... They were freshly cut and cooked when served as our side with our order of Crab Imperial. But wait... fresh hot rolls and butter first.
The Crab Imperial was even better than remembered... full of lump crabmeat, filler and a special cream type sauce on top. It came with 2 sides and a garden salad and onion rings were the 2 sides. The garden salad was fresh and gorgeous... various lettuce types, tomatoes, onion and dressing of your choice in a little container on the side. Back to the onion rings... huge rings breaded and served beautifully... around 8 or 10...enough to share.
The other order was the special... chicken rice soup and an albacore tuna salad sandwich on wheat bread served with chips. The soup came out first at the same time as the garden salad. The soup was DELICIOUS... full of freshly cubed chicken white meat and white rice in a delicious broth. The soup was shared since it was so good.
The tuna sandwich was served perfectly with chips on the side and a generous amount also. The wheat bread was fresh and so soft, cut from a fresh loaf... not a pre-sliced loaf you would buy in the grocery store. The tuna was delicious with Mayo and celery and other seasonings and a huge quantity within the sandwich.
As we were enjoying the food, here comes Bonnie with another coke and another glass of water when our originals were only half down.
When she came back again to check on us, I asked for containers to take out the food we were unable to eat. One half of the tuna sandwich went home and half of the Imperial Crab went home in separate containers.
As we were packing up our left overs, Bonnie brought the check. There were no surprises since the menu had prices marked and they were very close to Snyder's prices.
We left the restaurant full and very pleased!!!!
BTW: We reheated the Imperial Crab and it was again delicious. The 1/2 tuna sandwich was also excellent again.
We immediately texted several friends who went to Snyder's of Willow Grove and told them to call us so we could share our experience.
We will be returning!!! read more
