Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Glenside

The Dandelion is a neat place with lots of levels/floors and unique decor in each room. Definitely a lively place with great food.

The restaurant was relaxing and relatively quiet. We arrived 15 minutes prior to our reservation time and were still seated immediately. Our server was fairly attentive and brought my husband the wrong salad, but we all make mistakes. We both ordered the prime rib special with mashed potatoes and it was delicious!

We had a stellar and fun evening with delicious cocktails and meals. Service was outstanding. We always enjoy Iron Hill. Thanks.

Toska (Töska?) is a laid-back two-storey restaurant in what I would say is the main drag (or village center) of Mount Airy. The décor is simple, spare, and there are attractive blown-glass-looking accents strung on cables. The server was quite friendly, which in Philadelphia is not a given. We ordered eggplant parmesan sitting atop fettuccine in the requisite marinara sauce, which my husband liked a great deal, and a Wagyu burger on brioche, which was surprisingly good: the bacon was done exactly right, not sliced too thickly, and the burger was medium-rare as I had asked. French fries are decent, certainly abundant, but they're a little flaccid (they are, however, "real" fries, not the heated-up deep-freeze variety we see so often). A salad with cucumber and fennel and small tomatoes was perfect, as was the burrata on a bed of arugula with slightly roasted small tomatoes and a vinaigrette. I like a slightly more room-temperature burrata and one that is a bit less firm, but this one was fine. The ambience is good, except that the much-touted wood-burning oven perfumes the entire restaurant a little more than it should. Also, it would be good to have sparkling bottled water on the menu.

Comfortably fit our party of 7, food came out quickly, and drinks stayed coming! Plus, our dad forgot the bday cake and the staff was kind enough to bring a brownie and a candle for my mom. Thanks!!!
