Dinner Near East Norriton/Blue Bell

Hi all,

My family is heading to a function in East Norriton at the Presidential Caterers, but there will not be dinner served. We're looking for somewhere close by we could all (about 7 of us) head for dinner. Not looking for anything crazy, just good food and somewhere we can all sit together without a huge wait.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

    I would suggest Gino's right on Ridge Pike, across from the Jeffersonville Golf Course. Traditional Italian food, BYOB. Pizza, pasta sandwiches. The food is very good and there shouldn't be much of a wait.

    Or just up the road in Eagleville is Brother Paul's Pub. I've never been but I've heard it's pretty popular.

      I'll give a nod to all of the above but....um...what kind of a function does a caterer provide without catering? Will there be hors doeuvres or desserts? Just bar and pretzels? By knowing more about the event, maybe we can help you find the ideal dinner.

        Not sure whether "anything crazy" means price or cuisine and it probably matters what time as to whether there's a wait (and if they're open). You could try...

        Blue Bell Inn
        Broad Axe Tavern
        Phils
        Mirna's
        Lai Lai

          Aman's is a very good Indian restaurant on DeKalb Pike (in the Northtowne Shopping Plaza near K-Mart).

            Amans is across the street and was really good the other night when I went there for the first time.
