Dave Magrogan, famed owner of Kildare’s and Doc Magrogan’s, has been expanding his presence outside West Chester for years now. For the most part that expansion has been focused towards Philly but now he’s heading to the north west corner of Chester County, to that little blip on the way to Shady Maple called Honey Brook. He’s dropping serious cash on the historic Maple Inn and renaming it Grady David’s.

It’s not the Maple Inn, it’s the WayneBrook (Historical Inn) in Honey Brook. Hats off to Dave Magrogan and his Zeal for doing so much for charities and employment and building communities and bringing revenue to such. There’s been Taverns and Pubs in this great country of ours even before our Independence. Go Dave, Go!!!!

I suggest some changes to the menu.
a. NO side dishes are offered. They should offer side dishes!
b. Many entrées only have a meat and a vegetable, but no potato.
c. Many entrées only have a meat and a starch, but no vegetable.
d. I asked to have a side of mashed potatoes, but this threw them for a loop. They removed the spinach from my plate and replaced it with with mashed potatoes (the mashed potatoes were the worst I’ve ever had in my entire life, just a crushed potato; not mixed with milk, butter, salt and pepper).
e. I had the slow roasted chicken. The chicken was good, once you removed the slimy skin (not crisp/not golden brown skin). I took thigh/leg home, and put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. That crisped the skin and made it palatable. Why couldn’t the “chef” do that?
So, after a careful review of the menu, it seems to me that the owner is catering to the chef’s ego, not the desires of the customer. It also seems to me that the “chef” could take a little more pride in food preparation and presentation.
I’m not going to eat dinner there anymore, but, I’ll have a beer there occasionally.
