New Restaurant Landmark Americana Coming to West Chester (in Behind the Food)

Oh, New Jersey. You certainly have given Pennyslvania a lot to talk about - your fast cars, awkward Turnpikes, big hair, and questionable beaches (I mean, shores) come to mind - but you’ve always been there. Like the good little sibling to PA that you are, you’ve also given us good music (The Misfits, Ted Leo, Deborah Harry, Sure Juror, and yes, Springsteen) and great food (famous chef Tom Colicchio of Bravo’s Top Chef, and the origin of the American-style diner). And this March, we thank you, New Jersey, for giving us Glassboro’s original Landmark Americana.

Did you spend last summer wondering, like us, what that new building on the corner of Gay Street and Darlington Street was going to be? After months of waiting, we were finally given a sign - literally. A poster on the street-level window was tacked up, giving us all the square footage information that we wanted to know. It also told us that, yes, Landmark Americana was coming to a West Chester near us. What is it, anyway? Another American cuisine themed restaurant and bar, apparently. With a more extensive menu than most others of its kind (they boast six french fry variations, creative entrees and lots, we mean LOTS, of steak sandwiches), they have a good chance of holding their own in WC. The new location has promised to add a little West Chester class - their website says they hope to mimic the original location, but a bit more upscale.

Like the new Barnaby’s, Landmark also is confident that their nightlife will reel in the town’s finest. They have 18 drafts on tap (including Magic Hat and Flying Fish!), 24 bottles, 11 different martinis and margaritas, a variety of specialty mixed drinks and Red Bull drinks, and a decent wine list (we’re excited about the Ecco Domani, but that’s just us!). They also have theme nights that include sing-a-longs, DJs, holiday appropriate parties for Mardi Gras and Cinco de Mayo, and Mexican Mondays (where Mexican beers and margaritas are reduced, along with cheap quesadillas and nachos). Maybe it’s just us, but we think we’re excited.

Landmark Americana coming soon in March!

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
