This Casey's with out a doubt has the best service out of all of them.
I was just at the other two with in a month.  Bar maid was horrible at Darby loco for lunch. While the owner/ manager?  Was there she was more about gossip with coworkers  and texting. Them service . Next at the ridley location the bar render really tried but. Every 4-5 minutes he was missing from the bar. So between having g no runner for food he was up and down the stairs getting his food for the whole down stairs.  Next most of the taps downstairs where not working so again he upstairs filling beers!! Sorry I went off to the others locations. Back to this one. I went here two nights a week for like 5 weeks.  Every time service was great. Great local's and bar and food was good also.  Always great specials going on. Don't forget to ask!! Clams casino is a go to app.
When I lived in the area, I would meet a buddy of mine here for beers every Thursday after work. Typical bar and typical food. We went Thursdays because the bartender was awesome. This was when it was Casey's Seafood and Grille or whatever. I know they recently changed the name to the Public House. Do not get your hopes up if you are looking for seafood. Steer clear of the Crab Imperial. Not sure what it is exactly, but it sucks. It looks like a crab milkshake.
I was there a few months ago on a Saturday night for dinner with a friend who lives in the area. The crowd there tends to be older, so we went at 8pm because it is usually cleared out by then. We both had the burger. It was actually decent, but i am pretty sure they dont know the difference between medium well and well done. We did sit at the bar. The bartenders were some what hospitable. I am not looking for their life stories but have a personality.
Recommendation: Come here if you want a burger and a domestic beer. There is nothing spectacular.
Clean, friendly place. I went with a large group and we had a very nice time. The service was good, and that's not always easy with a big group. I had a very decent sandwich. I would guess it is best to stick with the typical bar favorites; burgers, pork sandwich that sort of thing. Not a place I would rush out to go to, but certainly a place I would go to if in the area and looking for a comfortable place with a decent meal.
Review Source:This is stepped up bar food, done pretty well. Â But every time I think about going there, I remember that they have those awful coated fries (like at burger king) and then I go somewhere else. Â PLEASE CHANGE the FRIES! Â Steak fries would be the perfect fit for this place but any other kind of fries (except for curly) would do. Â I don't know if those coated fries are cheaper or last longer in the freezer or what but they're terrible and I never frequent (nor recommend to friends) any restaurant that serves them. Â
Other than that, the place is cozy, comfortable, and kid friendly with a friendly and attentive staff. Its the kind of place I'd go for reasonable prime rib (with steak fries) or butterfly shrimp, or maybe a burger for lunch. Â But I won't go back until they change the fries. Â Thank you for your attention.
The good: waiter was good and beer was cold.
Unfortunately, the food was a real disappointment. Everything was over salted. The snapper soup was the best thing we had (average), the chicken pot pie was nothing special and the crab cake was 90% filler (just like the ones from the grocery store that you pay $2-3 for)). Â There are way better places to go
Casey's is a Newtown Square mainstay. Â Its a family friendly restaurant and simultaneously a haunt for an array of regular bar flies. Â The staff is curt but friendly, and the bar is cozy. Â They've gone through a renovation in the past year or so that opened up the floor plan a bit and the addition of another television actually turned it into a better place to catch a game than was previously so. Â Its charming interior is a time capsule for Newtown Square circa 1950, and the bar is set to resemble a trolly car.
The snapper soup is a go-to if you're not in the mood for a whole entree. As a seafood place its not the best, but still decent. Â A good bell-weather of a seafood place is the crab cakes and oyster selection. The crab cake was alright, good for a sandwich perhaps. Â There were no raw oysters on the menu when I was there, though there was a fried oyster app.
The portions were decent and the draught beer selection was sufficient for a suburban surf and turf place. Â Plenty of comfort food options like burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, and pot-pie. Â The Roast beef sandwich (the Newtown Square) was generously piled and pretty tasty. Â
My dad lives out here so I've joined him for a late-night pint a number of times when I visit, and in general it's a good quiet spot if you want a bartender that's easy to strike a conversation with and a mature crowd whose average age is mid-forties.
My mom & I stumbled across this place for lunch & was very happy we gave it a shot. Had delicious french onion soup & 1/2 a chicken salad sandwich on rye (the chicken wasn't shredded & it was a bit dry but I figured that had a bit to do w/me requesting toasted bread). My mom had a lunch special of stuffed shrimp that she said was very good. Our waitress was very nice & personable and the restaurant itself was very clean & had great ambiance. We also had a tasty & reasonably priced Bloody Mary (only $5).
Review Source:Casey's is an institution in this part of the western burbs. Â Of course that doesn't mean it's a great restaurant but is an OK restaurant. Â The atmosphere is dark with lots of booths. Â There is a medium sized horseshoe bar that also has three booths in the bar area. Â There are TVs around the bar but they are nothing special. Â This is not the best place to watch a game.
Speaking of the bar; it can get busy. Â It draws a mixed crowd that is older than most. Â They do free appetizers on slow weekdays to hopefully entice you to stay awhile. Â The beers are a selection of mostly domestics. Â The drinks are well made and priced normally for the area. Â I've used this bar to meet business associates in the area several times and it's worked well.
Â
The wife and I have eaten dinner here several times over several years. Â We have never had a bad meal, usually had an OK meal, and occasionally had a great meal. Â I have had amazing blackened prime rib and the wife has enjoyed excellent broiled scallops. Â The vegetable sides are usually pedestrian at best. Â The wait staff has been OK but certainly nothing special.
Casey's has recently begun to open for breakfast seven days a week. Â I haven't has a chance to try it yet but the menu on their website looks good.
If I were in my early 70s and I was not an adventurous eater, I'd probably love Casey's. The food here is not bad, but not really good. It is filling and throughly mediocre; devoid of creativity, joy or pizzazz. Somehow the place seems to stuck in the late 1970s. The bar is the draw here, but its a strong Medicare (or nearly Medicare) crowd. "I'll have a whiskey sour with fruit!"
Review Source:It seems fitting, that on the eve of my exodus from Newtown Square, I would finally step foot in the Restraunt closest to my apartment. It is also fitting, that I would do so to celebrate the settlement of my new home in Folsom.
I felt that I was a man of the suburbs, but on perusing the previous reviews of Caseys, I discovered that the Upper Darby and Berwyn Caseys are all part of a chain. I just thought it was a popular restraunt name! How embarrassing!
I don't know why I never had the desire to go to Caseys (Newtown Square). For one, I'm not a seafood fan, and Id heard from others ( my father is apparently a fan) that they had good seafood. I'm also a creature of habit. I work at a restraunt and don't go out to them in my free time often and when I do, id rather pay for what I know is good and what I know Id like.
Either way, I had to snicker when I breached its doorway, that I was finally trying it. I must also admit, that I wouldn't have , if not for my Real estate Agent Bernie, offering to take me out , to celebrate the settlement. His treat, his choice and he was apparently a fan of Caseys as well. Part of me hoped that it wasn't a great experience, so that I wouldn't feel like I missed out on anything.
Another thing I noticed, from reading existing reviews, was that it got bad reviews, often saying that, "..it used to be better". This wouldn't be a problem for me , as Id had nothing to compare it to.
Id always imagined what it looked like inside, from just passing by. It was pretty much what I expected. Nicer than a diner but not too fancy. I loved the menu, which took old routes and stations from the area. The Broomall, the Edgemont, The Paoli. Nice little touch for the local in me.
Bernie chose Caseys because he claimed that the crab cakes were to die for. He ordered some kind of crab cake on toast , which looked good , but again, I'm not a seafood lover. I may have been in a different place, but my go-to dishes never waver. I got the Reuben ( had it been after 5 I would have ordered meatloaf...thats how I roll!). Sadly, I cant remember the "town" that I ordered but that Reuben was one of the best Id had in a long while. It was open faced and just tasty as hell.
The service was decent.Our drinks were refilled, she was friendly and the whole meal didn't take long. While I was impressed by both the place and my meal, I don't feel too discouraged that I can no longer walk here anymore, although I wish I had given it a shot now and then in my 12 year Marple tenure.
Bernie and I parted ways, and as much as I liked the guy, I hope I wont have the need for a Real Estate Agent anytime soon. I have not turned the page on Newtown Square completely. 2 doors down from Caseys is THE best hoagie at A Cut Above, nearby is my favorite corner store Luigi and Giovanni and now I have a great place to grab a Reuben and a beer in Caseys. Maybe its true, that you don't appreciate what you have till its gone.
Casey's is OK. Â It's part of a chain (or a mini-chain I know one is in Upper Darby). Â Â It's cool, because the 104 used to be a trolley that went down the center of West Chester pike, where the grassy median is now. Â Casey's has all this railway paraphernalia on the walls and the menu. Â Now the 104 is a horrible bus that gets caught up in blue route traffic and god I'm glad I work in center city now. Â
I recommend the crab cakes. Â They're yummy.
