JLK Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Is anyone here familiar with restaurants in the King of Prussia vicinity? A friend recommended Sullivan's Steakhouse, however they don't serve lunch. I'm looking for a nice spot to have dinner at with my mother tomorrow. Must be near the shopping temple that is King of Prussia. Nothing fancy required. I'm just trying to avoid going w/o a plan lest we wind up at TGIFriday's.
Sthitch Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 A couple miles from King of Prussia is a nice little restaurant called 333 Belrose. It is on the corner of King of Prussia Road and Belrose Lane (my mother-in-law lives on this same road) in Radnor. I have eaten there several times and have always been quite happy with the food.
ScotteeM Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I just called my sister, who lives in Norristown, PA. She suggested the William Penn Inn, which is about 20-25 minutes away. They have a nice brunch, and she recommended asking for the Commonwealth Room, which is on the second floor. She also mentioned Georges' on the Main Line, which is a suburban outpost of Georges Perrier (owner/chef at Le Bec Fin in downtown Philly. According to mapquest, this is about 10 minutes from King of Prussia Mall. Wherever you end up, please file a report!
Sthitch Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 I think that George's might be a bit too fancy. It is a wonderful restaurant, but it is only a little less formal than Le Bec Fin.
JLK Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Unfortunately, we needed some place local so as to avoid getting too lost - neither of us know the area. Fortunately, Cheesecake Factory had a 90 minute wait at 1 pm (Mom would have been fine with that) so we didn't have to eat there. We ate at Bertolini's (sp?) and it was...fine. Not awful, but not great either. You know.
Sthitch Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I spend way too many weekends as an indentured servant, err sorry, guest of my mother-in-law. When I can steal away from the glut of yard work that she needs done, I try to escape to Johnnie’s Dog House in Wayne. The dogs at this place are some of the best that I have had. I really enjoy them just plain, but their bacon cheese dog (wrapped in bacon with whiz) is quite a treat, and the corn dog is almost as good as a Cozy Dog. If you find yourself out on the Mainline or at King of Prussia, I would recommend a detour to this wonderful little shop [Johnnie's Dog House Closed in March, 2012].
mdt Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Anyone have any suggestions for dinner spots?
DonRocks Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Anyone have any suggestions for dinner spots? This will get you numerous current recommendations: site:chowhound.chow.com "king of prussia" I sometimes use occasions like King of Prussia to try a chain that I never get around to trying in DC (Seasons 52, Legal Seafood, etc.). The #5 pick doesn't bode well for Devon, but the top few show some promise (check Mayuree Cafe, also The Black Cafe Cafe which is not-for-profit - a lot of times, the employees at these "restaurants on a mission" view it as a labor of love, and it shows (I'm thinking now of The Little Grill)).
RWBooneJr Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Anyone have any suggestions for dinner spots? If you're a local to DC or Baltimore and want to have a nostalgic (but likely unsatisfying) walk down memory lane, there's a Gino's.
Pat Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Blackfish is nearby in Conshohocken, about a 10 minute drive from KOP. I haven't been, but heard good things about this little BYOB. It was all the rage in Philadelphia a few years ago, and it sounds like they're still pumping out good food. I almost commented before but refrained, since I didn't have any solid information. I was looking for a place for a meal in Conshohocken earlier this year, and it seems to be undergoing quite a dining renaissance. I was amazed at the options. It's not all that far from King of Prussia and seems to have a number of good possibiltities. Unfortunately, I can't find my research notes, but it seems like a good town to look in if you'll be in KOP with a car.

Pat Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 We have a Dining in Conshohocken thread. We do, and it will be great when people can update it. The last update of that thread was nearly half a dozen years ago. That's why I was doing my own research. Partly it was fueled by a food blogger I read who had been living in Conshohocken a little before that, so I knew there was stuff going on to investigate. Sadly enough from a culinary perspective, we ended up at an Olive Garden on the Roosevelt Blvd. in Philadelphia, which was good enough for what it was and needed to be.
