Any thoughts on Happy Days, West Chester Diner, Downingtown Diner, Bistro 24, Green Street Grill?
The Lazy Egg in Honey Brook is really Chester County’s hidden secret. The food is awesome, the prices reasonable and the portions ridiculously large. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. It may look frumpy on the outside but it’s definitely worth the visit.
