need rest recs for willow grove area

[Jeff L]

A friend asked me if I knew of any good places in the Willow Grove area. They are meeting friends midway and that's where they will end up. I don't know this area too well so any help is appreciated.

My friends friend is a beer drinker and meat and potatoes type of guy. Wives will be along so greasy bars/taverns probably won't do.

Thanks

There's a good vegetarian place that has been expanding people's perceptions of vegetarian cuisine there called Horizons.

I've been wanting to try it for a little while, but I'm never out there.

Isn't The Drafting Room - Springhouse not too far from Willow Grove? Couldn't be more than 15 minutes up Welsh Road to Bethlehem Pike from there. Good for the beer geeks and nice enough for the wives. Food is quite good too.

Yeah, I forgot about that place. I had lunch there a few years ago and was introduced to Smithwicks Irish beer (lager, ale?). It's really good in the style of those really great beers from Ireland. I noticed it's no longer on their menu, too bad indeed but a good choice to forward to my friend as the food was pretty good too. Thanks

Another option is the Drafting Room in springhouse, personally I prefer Iron Hill myself but the Drafting room has a much larger selection of brews.

Otherwise the WG area is quite the culinary wasteland the many years I worked there.

The Blue Sage is also nearby, in Southampton. It is also vegetarian, but in my opinion is much better than Horizons. They seem to be going for a different audience, though: Horizons seems to cater to more hardcore vegetarians and vegans, while the Blue Sage is more of a place where veggies and their meatosaurus friends can all have a great dinner, though it may not be quite as healthy as Horizons.

the Drafting House is good also, but I like their Exton location better than the Spring House one.

there is a Bonefish Grille on 611 just off the PA Tpk. It has been discussed in the NJ forums...

Actually, this is where they ended up last Saturday. Not sure how the meal went but I'll post if I do
