Blown away by how fantastic this food was. Great, unique atmosphere. Brisket was amazing, so were the soft pretzel knots. Great staff, awesome experience. Will absolutely be back

This place literally rocks! Went with friends on a Tuesday night, which happened to be "music trivia" night. D.J. took requests before trivia started and lead a fun and challenging trivia game! The food was excellent! Canadian maple cured bacon with a side of walnuts was delicious, as well as the jumbo pretzel. Margaritas were good and strong! My hubby loved his bacon cheeseburger and loved my Turkey club on rye with "Thrasher-style" fries! Of course I had desert, strawberry shortcake was great as well; eyerything was fresh and delicious! My friends had the Buffalo burger and mussels; to which they were very satisfied with. Place is very casual, relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive, fast and fun! Highly recommend and I'm definitely going back. DJ Eric - thanks for playing my jam! "California Love!"

Righteous Tap House is a very local and close spot and a great choice for a nice meal and drink or two! Not the largest variety for vegetarians but there’s always been something I can order. My husband enjoys the wings and we both love the nachos for a shared app! Lately we’ve sat at the bar when we visit and the service has been wonderful.

Will visit again. I like this place, love the location, they have live music, outdoor seating and a really good food menu. It isn’t an extensive food menu but what they do have they do well. My personal favorite is the nachos, great marinade on the meat and the chips are wontons omg soo good and unique. My hubby loved the roast beef and the fish and chips were okay. I haven’t had the chance to experience the “bar” side because I’m not drinking at the moment but just dropping in as a restaurant goer is satisfying. I have always received good service and I like the music choices they are always playing throughout the bar. I would recommend and would visit again. Also doesn’t hurt that this place is from scratch so if you do get food it’s made with a higher standard and that’s something you can taste.

The hidden gem of Chester County!!! Do yourself a favor and check these guys out. Chef John (owner) and Chef Jen really outdo themselves from the house made broccoli cheddar soup to the perfectly cooked burgers and more!! You will not be disappointed. When you visit ask for Jeana, she is such an amazing chic and an instant friend. Be sure to come on a Saturday night when they have a live band. Scrumdiddlyumptious food, amazing staff, and fantastic atmosphere! Side note… my boyfriend and I have been here twice and on both occasions Chef Jen and Chef John came to our table to make sure our food was prepared to our liking. They have absolutely exceeded our expectations!

We were very pleasantly surprised by just how delicious the food was here. The fried chicken is perfectly seasoned and crispy. Great specials and we all loved their french fries. Service was great, they had a live band playing which was fun. I liked the theming and respect the chef for putting out some awesome food.

Just 5 mins from our house in west Bradford is Righteous Tap house. My roommates and I decided it was long overdue to check out this restaurant. The interior is very much a bar with some booths and long tables. Everyone from the neighborhood was here. Despite a little bit of a wait for a bigger table, our waitress was very friendly. She explained the specials and we were immediately excited. Everything is made from scratch. We started with drinks and our waitress was very timely with everything. The live band was getting started and it was very nice to have live entertainment while starting our dining experience. The group ordered a couple starters. Starting with the cheesesteak egg rolls, which were fried perfectly crispy. The fries were nice as well. The star of the show was the spicy ketchup! It was very addicting. The righteous wings were fried flawlessly. Someone ordered a French onion soup and a side salad. The soup was so good with a thick layer of cheese on top. The caprese sandwich and the BLT sandwich were very good. The tempura battered fish sandwich was also delicious! We ordered a couple specials that were recommended. One of those being a steak with a baked potato and asparagus. The steak was cooked medium rare and seasoned nicely. We also tried the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes, a bit oily but it can not be helped with that cut. Otherwise it was so delicious. For dessert we had to try the apple cider donut bread pudding, the cherry topper to the whole experience. I can not wait to return!
