Stopped by here on our way to the beach! Conveniently located on our route and they had a variety of hot and cold sub/food options. I liked their brisket mac and cheese! My boyfriend tried the cheesesteak and it was really good. They also have specialty iced/hot coffees and a cute assortment of reasonably priced pastries that we took to go!

If I could give THE WELL an additional five stars, I would. This beautiful place is owned and operated by Trinity Church whose mission is to serve their community and surrounding areas which they do with great care. The menu selections here are varied, delicious, and homemade serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. Prepared meals are also homemade and available for takeout. A common sight is seeing coffee lovers enjoying a cup of fresh brew while engaged in conversation, working on a laptop, or reading a book. Now the question is this… Why would I add two photos of one of the restrooms? Because any establishment that cares enough to provide a beautifully decorated, sanitized, and well-stocked restroom cares about the comfort of their customers. Many of us are repeat visitors because of the quality of food, service, and amazing baked goods but also because we know our support of THE WELL directly contributes to supplying resources for those in need.

8/11/23 Lunch. Met some friends there for lunch. I had the brisket sandwich (5), pulled pork sandwich (5) and a Cypress salad (5) along with a large can of ice tea - lemonade drink (4). Plus, I got to taste a rib (5) that a friend shared with me. The restaurant has a number of televisions that played Christian music videos. The music along with the bright and cheery atmosphere made this a wonderful place to share a meal with friends. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who is interested in enjoying some excellent food in an uplifting environment. I enjoyed myself so much I forgot to take more photos of the food! Ambiance 5 Food 5 Service 5 Overall 5 out of 5 5 Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. 4 Very Good: Better than expected. 3 Average: An everyday experience. 2 Fair: Below par. Dirty smells. & / or flies.

Awesome, mellow rustic coffee house to start your day. Great roads to get here. Coffee is great.

Well, I finally got here with a good friend to have Lunch!! I've seen this place for a while as I passed by on the way to a friend's home. This place is charming with a delightful atmosphere and VERY Good food!! We had Homemade Chicken Soup that was so GOOD!! I don't use salt normally, and the soup did have a bit more salt than I'm used to. Still, it was Delicious!! I had a large cheese steak made with provolone and fried onions!! It was big enough that I had to take 1/2 Home!! Yep, so delicious, I finished it for dinner!! We also had homemade Potato salad!! Incredibly GOOD!! Then we shared deep-fried mozzarella sticks, which were some of the Best I've ever had!! Coffee was very Good!! Free refills made this Coffee lover quite happy!! Before we left, I had to buy some of the BINGS BAKERY pastries to take home!! I've loved BINGS BAKERY products for over 40 years!! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I had such a nice conversation with a young woman who works there, darn.I forgot her name!! She answered my questions about the restaurant, who owns it, the history, foods etc.. This was such a pleasant experience, I will be returning soon with my daughter!!

Best place to get cheesesteaks hands down! Better than any place in Philly combined. The also have amazing milkshakes and BBQ. I wish I could give this place 10 stars.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good food, just had the fish & chips, fish was nice and crispy, quite good. I have had the breakfast sandwich several times previously, that is usually my go to menu item, always fresh and hot, eggs cooked perfectly, topped with some crispy bacon.

Got take out. Great service when we went in, love the atmosphere. Cheesesteaks were excellent, packed with good meat! We were extra excited about the onion rings and fries, crispy and delicious. Will definitely be going back!
