Restaurants in Essington, Philadelphia
Whether you spend your days traipsing through nearby Philadelphia or along the tree-lined streets of Essington, it is important to know a few stops along the way where travelers can recharge over a warm meal. Thankfully, Essington has some distinctive offerings for adventurous travelers, including the birthplace of stromboli.

Romano's Stromboli

Romano's Stromboli claims to be the originator of stromboli, and the restaurant has a pretty convincing story involving movie stars, torrid affairs and, of course, Stromboli, Italy. Whatever the case may be, Romano's serves scrumptious stromboli. Romano's also maintains a rather extensive menu of Italian classics from pizza to traditional pasta dishes to its seemingly endless selection of sandwiches

JD McGillicuddy's Tinicum Inn

Tinicum really gets hopping in the evening by offering locals and visitors a lot more than just a hot meal. Local bands, televised sporting events and nightly drink specials draw crowds, so if you're looking for a quiet place for a family meal, go early or go somewhere else. But if you're seeking a lively time while enjoying a burger, Tinicum provides. Stop in for a beer and partake of one of Tinicum's dips, such as crab au gratin or buffalo chicken dip made with ranch, bleu cheese, buffalo sauce, chicken and Colby jack cheese.
