Located in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, this modern American steakhouse is a short drive from Philadelphia, the Main Line or Wilmington. The complete redo of the 300 year old Chadds Ford Inn has created an excellent canvas with which to paint.

The comfortable bar beckons you in with a Best of Philly burger and a local draft beer. Creative sandwiches, great happy hour specials and great steaks ensure we have something for everyone. Modern finishes to a historic building create an inviting, hip atmosphere that welcomes all-from tourists to business travelers to local families to private events in one of our many rooms.

    I had a great experience at Hearth Kitchen! I ordered the shrimp fried rice and a Sauvignon Blanc. I’m not a huge fan of shrimp, so I asked if I could substitute chicken instead, and they were happy to accommodate. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Olivia, my bartender, was super sweet and helpful when I asked for recommendations. There were so many things on the menu that sounded good, so I’ll definitely be back to try more. Overall, great food, great service, and a really enjoyable experience!
