As regulars, we know the food here is not so great and the service can be a little unfriendly. However, it has been a consistent quick go to for our family for years. Last night was the worst. Wiatress Penny could have cared less and was flippant and rude. Shrimp Cesar Salad had been waiting under the heat lamp long enough to be limp and dried out. Baked potato and mashed potatoes were stone cold. Raw oysters were warm and sandy! We will find another "go to" place! So sad.

I didn't expect the best meal of my life, but I really did expect better. My fiance ordered wings and I the boneless nuggets. The wing sauce had so much butter that I couldn't taste anything else. My nuggets were so hard and difficult to chew. I barely made it through half of them and couldn't eat any more because I felt sick - and I hadn't even eaten that much! My fiance brought his wings home to put Franks on them because there was barely any hot sauce flavor. I don't think we'll be going back.

I stopped in here for a fast bite between two work events and had a turkey club with fries on wheat. It was an ok sandwich, nothing to write home about and the fries were of the frozen ilk. Like other Casey's the place was decorated in dark woods and has that bar/saloon feel. Service is ok though not particularly friendly. It's located In a West Chester Pike strip mall so parking can be a challenge here during business hours.

Excellent service. Our Bartender was 25 yrs new. Staff gets along with each other and makes even a first time visitor feel like Norm from Cheers.

Casey's is a good, family friendly restaurant, and a nice place to go to if you would like to be a bar regular. They have a pretty big menu, but fish seems to be the best choice when going there. I always had food that tastes fresh, and never had bad time. My favorite thing on the menu is their French Onion Soup. It has been consistent for me for at least 10 years, and is one of my more favorite versions of the soup. Their prices are a little high, but they do have sandwich and salad choices. Plenty of appetizers to choose from, and never had an impolite server. If you want to just enjoy an easy, casual dining experience this is a good choice to go to.

I'm just confused this this restaurant. Some days it great other days it is terrible:( I think finding a few reliable chefs would make all the difference. The one night I ordered a a grilled cheese ( that I waited a year for)and they literally melted the cheese on the bread in the microwave! It wasn't even melted together. Ugh. I hope they get a new chef so they can get back to the delicious and reliable food tegu always had.

Was here a few times. Think the food is great. Had and pretty good bartender one time and a really horrible bartender the 2nd time. But overall I give this place a thumbs up. More for the older crowd. Seemed clean and comfortable.

Casey's is an institution in this part of the western burbs. Of course that doesn't mean it's a great restaurant but is an OK restaurant. The atmosphere is dark with lots of booths. There is a medium sized horseshoe bar that also has three booths in the bar area. There are TVs around the bar but they are nothing special. This is not the best place to watch a game. Speaking of the bar; it can get busy. It draws a mixed crowd that is older than most. They do free appetizers on slow weekdays to hopefully entice you to stay awhile. The beers are a selection of mostly domestics. The drinks are well made and priced normally for the area. I've used this bar to meet business associates in the area several times and it's worked well. The wife and I have eaten dinner here several times over several years. We have never had a bad meal, usually had an OK meal, and occasionally had a great meal. I have had amazing blackened prime rib and the wife has enjoyed excellent broiled scallops. The vegetable sides are usually pedestrian at best. The wait staff has been OK but certainly nothing special. Casey's has recently begun to open for breakfast seven days a week. I haven't has a chance to try it yet but the menu on their website looks good.

oh no.... Caseys is not open during week days for breakfast anymore. :( Weekends its crowded but the brunch includes those same great omlettets, Now you will find me at the Coffee Corner in Media for weekday breakfasts or maybe even the Country Kitchen in Edgemont

This is stepped up bar food, done pretty well. 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. PLEASE CHANGE the FRIES! Steak fries would be the perfect fit for this place but any other kind of fries (except for curly) would do. 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. 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. But I won't go back until they change the fries. 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)). There are way better places to go

My husband and I decided to try this place again even though we really didn't like it the last time we went a few years ago. The menu is varied and looks great. For starters we took the waitress' suggestion and ordered the muscles in red sauce. They were simply awful, undercooked and fishy tasting. When asked how we liked them we were honest with the waitress who returned them to the kitchen. Good news is they were removed from the bill. For the main course my husband had the penne puttanesca, which he often orders out. I'm not sure how they managed it, but the pasta was truly tasteless! One good thing is that the pasta itself was not overcooked. I had blackened salmon, which I ordered medium rare. It was like shoe leather. For dessert my husband had bread pudding, or should I say day old bread with a thin sauce poured on top. At this point we weren't surprised. From what I've been told, if you go there stick to the sandwich and burger menus. As for us, we'd rather eat at home.

Fri 2/7 & sun 2/9 1st visit on long time and last forever. 2 P's and bad ones Let's start with 1st P that would be Pete. Just downright rude. We are at bar watching Villanova game. No power for 2 days decide to get out. Didn't eat because food isn't that great. 15 min into game the bartender turns on pebble peach pro am. Me and three other couples ask to out game back on. I ask Pete the owner his response was its on the tv behind you. That's strike one. We left. The 2nd P is for Penny the Sunday bartender. If your not a regular your screwed with her. Got my first beer because she saw me walk in. By time I was done second beer she paid no attention because the regs all came in. 13min went by before she saw empty bottle and noticed my gf sitting. I was thinking about tapping bottle on bar. 1.00 top was all she got and not Penny more. I will sit in the dark before I got back.

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!"

Used to love this place. Was our local "go-to" but haven't been in ages. Went for a meet-up with friends - a late lunch and all I can say is - WHAT HAPPENED? The waitress was friendly and great but the food was awful. As in really, truly awful. If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know that I prefer to look for the positive but what came out of that kitchen makes it really hard. I'm saddened by the obvious decline in the menu. Had a percolating tummy afterwards - never a good sign and one of our friends actually sent me an email saying how much he disliked the lunch, calling it bar food with a lackluster varnish. Ouch. And what's with the ladies room? Cramped, small, and shabby. Sink was filthy (which I know is the customers but doesn't the staff monitor?) The bar area was hopping and there seemed to be a revolving door of regulars who probably know what to avoid on the menu. In the end, we had a lively discussion about what we'd all like to do to restore Casey's to it's former glory. We left an excellent tip for the waitress because we felt sorry for her having to serve such dreadful food. No, really. Can't say I won't go back but if I do, will bring a good dose of caution along.

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.

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 a Newtown Square mainstay. Its a family friendly restaurant and simultaneously a haunt for an array of regular bar flies. The staff is curt but friendly, and the bar is cozy. 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. 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. 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. 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. Plenty of comfort food options like burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, and pot-pie. The Roast beef sandwich (the Newtown Square) was generously piled and pretty tasty. 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.

The welcome was thoughtful as I was with two mega-seniors. Space was made and we were escorted to a great booth. The service was attentive and fun. The food (chicken pot pies, crab cake and veal scaloppini) was generous, well presented with a good choice of options and well prepared. Those too full to finish their entrees devoured a chocolate dessert as well as the ice-cream! More than reasonable bill. COMPLETE SUCCESS!

Casey's is OK. It's part of a chain (or a mini-chain I know one is in Upper Darby). 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. Casey's has all this railway paraphernalia on the walls and the menu. 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. I recommend the crab cakes. They're yummy.

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).

Casey's is a good, family friendly restaurant, and a nice place to go to if you would like to be a bar regular. They have a pretty big menu, but fish seems to be the best choice when going there. I always had food that tastes fresh, and never had bad time. My favorite thing on the menu is their French Onion Soup. It has been consistent for me for at least 10 years, and is one of my more favorite versions of the soup. Their prices are a little high, but they do have sandwich and salad choices. Plenty of appetizers to choose from, and never had an impolite server. If you want to just enjoy an easy, casual dining experience this is a good choice to go to.

I'm just confused this this restaurant. Some days it great other days it is terrible:( I think finding a few reliable chefs would make all the difference. The one night I ordered a a grilled cheese ( that I waited a year for)and they literally melted the cheese on the bread in the microwave! It wasn't even melted together. Ugh. I hope they get a new chef so they can get back to the delicious and reliable food tegu always had.

One good thing is that the pasta itself was not overcooked. I had blackened salmon, which I ordered medium rare. It was like shoe leather. For dessert my husband had bread pudding, or should I say day old bread with a thin sauce poured on top. At this point we weren't surprised. From what I've been told, if you go there stick to the sandwich and burger menus. As for us, we'd rather eat at home.

Average at best. Cheap food but still overpriced. Soup tastes like Campbell's from a can. Not fresh. Probably microwaved. Meh. Go somewhere else.

As regulars, we know the food here is not so great and the service can be a little unfriendly. However, it has been a consistent quick go to for our family for years. Last night was the worst. Wiatress Penny could have cared less and was flippant and rude. Shrimp Cesar Salad had been waiting under the heat lamp long enough to be limp and dried out. Baked potato and mashed potatoes were stone cold. Raw oysters were warm and sandy! We will find another "go to" place! So sad.

I didn't expect the best meal of my life, but I really did expect better. My fiance ordered wings and I the boneless nuggets. The wing sauce had so much butter that I couldn't taste anything else. My nuggets were so hard and difficult to chew. I barely made it through half of them and couldn't eat any more because I felt sick - and I hadn't even eaten that much! My fiance brought his wings home to put Franks on them because there was barely any hot sauce flavor. I don't think we'll be going back.

I stopped in here for a fast bite between two work events and had a turkey club with fries on wheat. It was an ok sandwich, nothing to write home about and the fries were of the frozen ilk. Like other Casey's the place was decorated in dark woods and has that bar/saloon feel. Service is ok though not particularly friendly. It's located In a West Chester Pike strip mall so parking can be a challenge here during business hours.

Excellent service. Our Bartender was 25 yrs new. Staff gets along with each other and makes even a first time visitor feel like Norm from Cheers.

Casey's is a good, family friendly restaurant, and a nice place to go to if you would like to be a bar regular. They have a pretty big menu, but fish seems to be the best choice when going there. I always had food that tastes fresh, and never had bad time. My favorite thing on the menu is their French Onion Soup. It has been consistent for me for at least 10 years, and is one of my more favorite versions of the soup. Their prices are a little high, but they do have sandwich and salad choices. Plenty of appetizers to choose from, and never had an impolite server. If you want to just enjoy an easy, casual dining experience this is a good choice to go to.

I'm just confused this this restaurant. Some days it great other days it is terrible:( I think finding a few reliable chefs would make all the difference. The one night I ordered a a grilled cheese ( that I waited a year for)and they literally melted the cheese on the bread in the microwave! It wasn't even melted together. Ugh. I hope they get a new chef so they can get back to the delicious and reliable food tegu always had.
(3)Ken D.
Was here a few times. Think the food is great. Had and pretty good bartender one time and a really horrible bartender the 2nd time. But overall I give this place a thumbs up. More for the older crowd. Seemed clean and comfortable.

Casey's is an institution in this part of the western burbs. Of course that doesn't mean it's a great restaurant but is an OK restaurant. The atmosphere is dark with lots of booths. There is a medium sized horseshoe bar that also has three booths in the bar area. There are TVs around the bar but they are nothing special. This is not the best place to watch a game. Speaking of the bar; it can get busy. It draws a mixed crowd that is older than most. They do free appetizers on slow weekdays to hopefully entice you to stay awhile. The beers are a selection of mostly domestics. The drinks are well made and priced normally for the area. I've used this bar to meet business associates in the area several times and it's worked well. The wife and I have eaten dinner here several times over several years. We have never had a bad meal, usually had an OK meal, and occasionally had a great meal. I have had amazing blackened prime rib and the wife has enjoyed excellent broiled scallops. The vegetable sides are usually pedestrian at best. The wait staff has been OK but certainly nothing special. Casey's has recently begun to open for breakfast seven days a week. I haven't has a chance to try it yet but the menu on their website looks good.
(3)Jo D.
oh no.... Caseys is not open during week days for breakfast anymore. :( Weekends its crowded but the brunch includes those same great omlettets, Now you will find me at the Coffee Corner in Media for weekday breakfasts or maybe even the Country Kitchen in Edgemont

This is stepped up bar food, done pretty well. 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. PLEASE CHANGE the FRIES! Steak fries would be the perfect fit for this place but any other kind of fries (except for curly) would do. 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. 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. But I won't go back until they change the fries. Thank you for your attention.
(2)Joe S.
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)). There are way better places to go
(2)Joe G.
Food & service where perfect! I wanted to find a place to watch the eagles game and relax. The crowd was great also.

My husband and I decided to try this place again even though we really didn't like it the last time we went a few years ago. The menu is varied and looks great. For starters we took the waitress' suggestion and ordered the muscles in red sauce. They were simply awful, undercooked and fishy tasting. When asked how we liked them we were honest with the waitress who returned them to the kitchen. Good news is they were removed from the bill. For the main course my husband had the penne puttanesca, which he often orders out. I'm not sure how they managed it, but the pasta was truly tasteless!

Fri 2/7 & sun 2/9 1st visit on long time and last forever. 2 P's and bad ones Let's start with 1st P that would be Pete. Just downright rude. We are at bar watching Villanova game. No power for 2 days decide to get out. Didn't eat because food isn't that great. 15 min into game the bartender turns on pebble peach pro am. Me and three other couples ask to out game back on. I ask Pete the owner his response was its on the tv behind you. That's strike one. We left. The 2nd P is for Penny the Sunday bartender. If your not a regular your screwed with her. Got my first beer because she saw me walk in. By time I was done second beer she paid no attention because the regs all came in. 13min went by before she saw empty bottle and noticed my gf sitting. I was thinking about tapping bottle on bar. 1.00 top was all she got and not Penny more. I will sit in the dark before I got back.
(1)Brian M.
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!"
(2)Mark H.
Poor service mediocre food. Better to pass.... used to be better.
(2)Peyton R.
Used to love this place. Was our local "go-to" but haven't been in ages. Went for a meet-up with friends - a late lunch and all I can say is - WHAT HAPPENED? The waitress was friendly and great but the food was awful. As in really, truly awful. If you've read any of my other reviews you'll know that I prefer to look for the positive but what came out of that kitchen makes it really hard. I'm saddened by the obvious decline in the menu. Had a percolating tummy afterwards - never a good sign and one of our friends actually sent me an email saying how much he disliked the lunch, calling it bar food with a lackluster varnish. Ouch. And what's with the ladies room? Cramped, small, and shabby. Sink was filthy (which I know is the customers but doesn't the staff monitor?) The bar area was hopping and there seemed to be a revolving door of regulars who probably know what to avoid on the menu. In the end, we had a lively discussion about what we'd all like to do to restore Casey's to it's former glory. We left an excellent tip for the waitress because we felt sorry for her having to serve such dreadful food. No, really. Can't say I won't go back but if I do, will bring a good dose of caution along.
(2)Karen T.
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.

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.
(4)Anne D.
Great Service, food is decent but not impressed with the higher priced items on the menu. Some things like Burgers, sandwiches and salads are good, but when they try to get fancier it doesn't work.
(3)Laura J.
Meh. Food was OK... Our waitress was MISERABLE.
(2)Richard F.
Casey's is a Newtown Square mainstay. Its a family friendly restaurant and simultaneously a haunt for an array of regular bar flies. The staff is curt but friendly, and the bar is cozy. 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. 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. 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. 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. Plenty of comfort food options like burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, and pot-pie. The Roast beef sandwich (the Newtown Square) was generously piled and pretty tasty. 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.
(3)Peter M.
The welcome was thoughtful as I was with two mega-seniors. Space was made and we were escorted to a great booth. The service was attentive and fun. The food (chicken pot pies, crab cake and veal scaloppini) was generous, well presented with a good choice of options and well prepared. Those too full to finish their entrees devoured a chocolate dessert as well as the ice-cream! More than reasonable bill. COMPLETE SUCCESS!
(4)Joyce C.

Casey's is OK. It's part of a chain (or a mini-chain I know one is in Upper Darby). 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. Casey's has all this railway paraphernalia on the walls and the menu. 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. I recommend the crab cakes. They're yummy.
(3)Jessica D.
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).

I didn't expect the best meal of my life, but I really did expect better. My fiance ordered wings and I the boneless nuggets. The wing sauce had so much butter that I couldn't taste anything else. My nuggets were so hard and difficult to chew. I barely made it through half of them and couldn't eat any more because I felt sick - and I hadn't even eaten that much! My fiance brought his wings home to put Franks on them because there was barely any hot sauce flavor. I don't think we'll be going back.

Fri 2/7 & sun 2/9 1st visit on long time and last forever. 2 P's and bad ones Let's start with 1st P that would be Pete. Just downright rude. We are at bar watching Villanova game. No power for 2 days decide to get out. Didn't eat because food isn't that great. 15 min into game the bartender turns on pebble peach pro am. Me and three other couples ask to out game back on. I ask Pete the owner his response was its on the tv behind you. That's strike one. We left. The 2nd P is for Penny the Sunday bartender. If your not a regular your screwed with her.

Casey's is a good, family friendly restaurant, and a nice place to go to if you would like to be a bar regular. They have a pretty big menu, but fish seems to be the best choice when going there. I always had food that tastes fresh, and never had bad time. My favorite thing on the menu is their French Onion Soup. It has been consistent for me for at least 10 years, and is one of my more favorite versions of the soup. Their prices are a little high, but they do have sandwich and salad choices. Plenty of appetizers to choose from, and never had an impolite server. If you want to just enjoy an easy, casual dining experience this is a good choice to go to.

I'm just confused this this restaurant. Some days it great other days it is terrible:( I think finding a few reliable chefs would make all the difference. The one night I ordered a a grilled cheese ( that I waited a year for)and they literally melted the cheese on the bread in the microwave! It wasn't even melted together. Ugh. I hope they get a new chef so they can get back to the delicious and reliable food tegu always had.

As regulars, we know the food here is not so great and the service can be a little unfriendly. However, it has been a consistent quick go to for our family for years. Last night was the worst. Wiatress Penny could have cared less and was flippant and rude. Shrimp Cesar Salad had been waiting under the heat lamp long enough to be limp and dried out. Baked potato and mashed potatoes were stone cold. Raw oysters were warm and sandy! We will find another "go to" place! So sad.

My husband and I decided to try this place again even though we really didn't like it the last time we went a few years ago. The menu is varied and looks great. For starters we took the waitress' suggestion and ordered the muscles in red sauce. They were simply awful, undercooked and fishy tasting. When asked how we liked them we were honest with the waitress who returned them to the kitchen. Good news is they were removed from the bill. For the main course my husband had the penne puttanesca, which he often orders out. I'm not sure how they managed it, but the pasta was truly tasteless! One good thing is that the pasta itself was not overcooked. I had blackened salmon, which I ordered medium rare. It was like shoe leather. For dessert my husband had bread pudding, or should I say day old bread with a thin sauce poured on top. At this point we weren't surprised. From what I've been told, if you go there stick to the sandwich and burger menus. As for us, we'd rather eat at home.

Average at best. Cheap food but still overpriced. Soup tastes like Campbell's from a can. Not fresh. Probably microwaved. Meh. Go somewhere else.
