The Goat's Beard

Amazing spot. Tried a few beers and a nice sampling of the menu. Chicken sandwich and Detroit style pizza were fantastic but the steak mac and cheese blew it out of the water.

The Goat's Beard is a restaurant that specializes in new American cuisine, craft beer, and whiskey. This location can be found on N Wayne Ave. in Wayne PA. This was my first time dining in Wayne, so I'm glad it was a memorable one. Service was good and the food was delicious. My friend and I shared the coconut calamari, TGB nuggets, and the steak mac & cheese. The calamari comes with all rings, no tentacles, and topped with jalapeño, red bell pepper, scallions, cashews, and coconut sweet Thai chili crunch. So unique, so good! The TGB nuggets are made with free range chicken, buttermilk brined, and then topped with blue cheese crumbles. The chicken was light, tender, and packed with flavor. The steak mac & cheese is made with grass fed sirloin, gnocchi, 3 cheese béchamel, pretzels crumbs, and steak jus. I would prefer a different type of pasta for this dish, but it was still enjoyable. TGB has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup and delivery are both available.

I absolutely love Goat’s Beard. The food is outstanding. I was first introduced to the restaurant at their Manayunk location and have celebrated many recent life events and casual Fridays there. I visited the Wayne location tonight and it was so ridiculously loud inside that you could not hear someone unless they were yelling in your ear. The hostess was trying to speak to someone on the phone when we arrived and they’re grimacing while trying their hardest to hear the caller while their other hand is over the other ear. That summarized the entire dinner. Great food, great drinks, zero sound absorption except for a couple decorative curtains. I would not go again.

Very pleased with everything we ordered. I'd be happy with the fries alone, but the smash burger they came with was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The autumn calamari was genius. I'd eat it every day if someone dropped it off at my door. 😁 Good beer selection. Nice bar atmosphere. 2 TVs if you want to watch sports.

What an amazing spot! I enjoyed sampling a few of the beers along with a nice selection of the menu. The chicken sandwich and Detroit style pizza were fantastic and truly satisfying. But the star of the show? The steak mac and cheese—it completely blew the rest out of the water! If you visit, you absolutely must try it. Highly recommend this great spot!

I was taken to GB for my birthday yesterday with some friends. What a fantastic lunch! Our servers were amazing the food was delicious! Def. Try the pizza! To top it off they comped us the most delightful dessert to celebrate! We will definitely be back! Thank you Thank you for a great lunch!

Passing through Wayne again, stopped by randomly at The Goats Beard for eats. Sandwich & a salad cost $42. $42. Plus tip. ---Way overpriced per quality. Fries with the sandwich were the bottom of the bag small. Sandwich was just ok, messy & odd mayo sauce, nothing great. They have ketchup but apparently no mustard also... & $7 to add a very few pieces of bland chicken to the salad. ($7--?!?!) Good/easy casual music & atmosphere. Nice outside patio too. People are fine, decent service. --But overall, 3rd time through Wayne & random restaurant for eats kinda seems the same mediocre-at-best food no matter where we go here.

We've been here twice so far and it's been great!! The first time was in the summer, and most recently was yesterday. The menu has changed for fall, which is cool. I love a good seasonal restaurant. The drinks were amazing. Last time I had the Nice Bluebs, and this time I had the Spiced Pear Sangria. The sangria was perfectly balanced, and the apricot brandy was a nice touch. The Detroit Pizza is a good thick crust that isn't too greasy. The spinach and artichoke dip is a must. My boyfriend's smashburger was good but he wished they asked how he would like it cooked (it came well done). Overall, the Goat's Beard knows how to execute its menu. Lastly, I just wanted to say Madison is an awesome server! She gives thoughtful recommendations and hasn't steered me wrong either time. The staff seems like a fun bunch. All together very good, highly recommend, and we will come back!

Really great food in a cute spot. I will say that every time I've been here, service has been slow due to what seems like not enough staff for how popular this place is. It's certainly not the staff's fault and they've all been lovely, but it's been a significant wait every time we've come here. Moving to the food, it is phenomenal and why this place has a five star rating despite the above. The spinach artichoke dip and the tofu are both the best I've ever had at any restaurant ever. My husband got the steak sandwich and the bread was amazing and the steak was cooked perfectly as well. I got the curried cauliflower salad and the dressing was a bit too strong for me and unfortunately the salad was dressed very heavily. But the cauliflower was still cooked well. Despite the service situation, the food is so good that I will definitely be back.

Goat's Beard is one of my favorite spots in Wayne. Honestly, the only reason this isn't a 5 is that the entree portion sizes always feel a bit smaller than they should for the money. I don't know if they raised prices during COVID, shrank portions, or if it was always a little imbalanced. It's not even a financial thing, I'm just still hungry after eating an entree. Curiously, the desserts are huge. Like shared for the table huge. The Pickle Pizza is excellent, as is the Steak Mac & Cheese. The Pork Taco are also really good and could sub for an entree for a light eater. Anyway, this place is my go-to before a show at 118 North across the street. I've never been disappointed, I just end up spending more than planned.

Came in for a family dinner on a Friday night. We had made reservations on the Resy app - the place was very busy, so the reservation was key. Our service was great - the server stopped by frequently to check in on us without being too overbearing. Food was good - we had the calamari and peach burrata toast appetizers, the beet salad, and steak + mac n' cheese, pizza and burger mains. Would definitely come back!

Stopped in for a dinner with my kids. It looked like they had some great options so we stopped in. We were greeted right away and had the luck to sit on the patio. It was great weather out so ti was really enjoyable. Paige was our server for the evening and she was fantastic and super friendly. They had a drink special with their home made limoncello, but it came with coconut and I am not a fan of coconut so she was able to get me a limoncello spritzer which was AMAZING!! My youngest had the burrata and she said it was delicious and enjoyed it a lot. My oldest had mussels and she said it was a little spicy, but she felt the mussels were cooked well and very enjoyable. I had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious with lots of cheese (my favorite). It was a great dinner and very enjoyable. Be sure to stop by when in the area.

This was our first time dining at The Goat's Beard, and we will definitely be back. The menu is interesting and well thought out. There's something for just about everyone. The staff is friendly and professional, and the young lady that waited on us was helpful and provided great recommendations! They have an amazing bourbon list as well! The restaurant is nicely laid out and offers indoor and outdoor seating. Great bar, as well - very cool vibe!!!

Whole summer I been hitting everyone with "I am craving a burger." I haven't gotten one until I did here and let me tell you it was mouth watering. Our server Lily was so kind and attentive, especially during restaurant week, I could not imagine the chaos. We sat right out front and it was great for people watching and also didn't feel in the way. Sit outside while you can:) we went for our cat's bday and even she enjoyed it.

This restaurant is warm and welcoming with great food, a nice beer and wine and cocktail menu and just a really nice vibe. We had the Detroit Pizza for dinner, the pickle pizza to be specific and it was amazing. First time eating a pickle pizza and it was delicious. The service was excellent too. Loved the bathroom signage as well.

We stopped in at the goats beard on their patio for a lovely dinner. A local small business in the Philly area. Swerving up all your favorites and Detroit style pizza. The pizza was delicious we got the smoke show which is their version of the meat lovers. The hummus platter is a great appetizer served with bread, veggies, and pita chips. Their ceaser salad is big enough to share and could be a meal in of itself. Service was great and an excellent patio stop in downtown Wayne.

Dropped into this little spot on a Friday evening. We had a reservation so the wait was about 15 minutes. We ordered the pickel pizza and the og pizza. They were incredible. I think about them often. We had a couple other apps and a a few drinks. This place is small and gets packed but the service is fast and the crowd is friendly.

Great food, beer and service. On a work trip, came in right when the game was going on Sunday. Inside is a nice little old style bar, with a good vibe. Hostess/waitress very kindly got me seated in a good location to watch the game (surprisingly not crowded). She constantly checked on me during my time there (excellent service). I ordered one of their draft beers and a small Detroit style pizza ("The Smoke Show"). They have some other sort of special items such as the steak and mac n cheese. It was between that and the pizza, but the pizza was calling my name. Didn't plan on finishing the whole thing in one sitting, but it was that good. Sadly didn't save room for dessert. If I'm in the area again, would definitely stop by.

We came for happy hour on a Thursday. The burger and fries are only $10 and it was so tasty! Well seasoned and juicy without being greasy. Fries were great too. I also got a two glasses of white sangria for $7. Only down side we were sat at a table that was booked for a reservation so after our second drink was dropped off we were asked to move which I think it would have been appropriate to comp those drinks for us. The only space available standing area by the door as the bar was full or outside but it was about 43 degrees. We had only been there about 50 minutes so this was a mistake on staff for seating.

Came here for dinner with my best friend. They always have seasonal drinks and food. The drinks are fun since some are Eagles themed and yes, they can be made into mocktails. Service was great. Got the sweet potato soup and shared grilled Brussel sprouts. They do have TVs if you want come here and watch a game.

Such a cute spot! We sat outside and enjoyed downtown Wayne. Came with a big group and everyone enjoyed their food. I got the pickle pizza gluten free. You could barely tell it was gluten free which I love. The menu had lots of great options. My parents got the OG pizza and said it was wonderful. The carbonara pasta came out and my sister in law said it was so good she didn't want to stop eating it. I also ordered a mocktail- love that they have that for an option and it was delicious. The inside decor was adorable. I would definitely go back.

I must say, we were more than pleasantly surprised. Getting late, looking for a spot to get comfortable, I came in tired and actually, not hungry. My buddy, Joe was very hungry. I was just going to get a small salad, but Joe talked me into trying the "Detroit-Style Pizza". I am so glad he did! Our waitress, Rachel had a smile on her face that was so contagious that I forgot I was tired and as soon as that delicious dish landed on our table, I couldn't wait to dig in! Crispy and quite tasty! That is what Pizza is supposed to be! Thank you, Joe for suggesting the pizza and thank you Rachel for making it all so great!!

Page, our waitress was amazing page w to be specific food was amazing. Homeless platter. I would a 100% get again. The rustic feel would definitely eat a hear again.

This restaurant has a warm, welcoming vibe with great food and a solid selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. We tried the Detroit pickle pizza for dinner, and it was amazing, first time having it, and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent, and the bathroom signage was a fun touch too.

Came on a Tuesday night and the bar area was decently busy. They had live music which was a great feature, but it made it a little difficult to communicate with the waitress. The food and drinks were fantastic and came out super quick. They have a nice outdoor section which would be great in the warmer weather. I've driven by a hundred times and it always looks busy, I understand why now.

We live 10 mins from the goat's beard but have never visited. Head really good things about this place. The decor and ambiance of the place is casual yet excuses a bit of upscaleness that would make me want to visit again. The place was packed when we visited and despite having reservations it was a slight wait (no biggie). Food was good, not great. Overall a solid 4

Fantastic atmosphere and food. Beer selection is great, bourbon selection is even better. I sat at the bar (typical) and service was on point. The "Detroit Style" pizza is on pointe and legit. A new must stop locally while in town on business.

This is the second time we had an off experience. Felt very rushed, apps came out with entrees and cocktails were wrong. Ambiance is nice, but may be a better choice to sit at the bar and avoid wait staff.

Excellent meal and atmosphere. Food server was very friendly, offering advice on other slots around town. Will be back

The food here is amazing!! The vibes are great and the staff is so nice and helpful. I loved it so much I went twice in a week!

The Pickle Pizza! Order it you idiots and thank your tastebuds and me later. Incredible balance of smokey bacon flavor, mild pickle, even-handed spice from chili oil, and delicious maillard reaction cheese crisps. Great team made for a fun evening. Get here.

Once our server realized she had a table waiting, she apologized and took our order. It took quite a while to get the food, and the drink that was ordered did not come as ordered. Server took it back to the bar get the right drink, and the correct drink did not come until we were more than halfway through our meal. It's a noisy place! With all of that said, the food was great and we would go back.

Went in for a fabulous dinner. Here on business travel and I love to eat at the local restaurants. All of the meals we had were unique in flavor and full of fun. I had the grilled salmon that sat on roasted potatoes and oven roasted zucchini. Under that was a nice thin layer of taziki sauce. It had so much flavor and the salmon had a nice flaky seasoned crust. In this picture is a 1/2 sized portion as we split the OG pizza. The pizza was good but not amazing. I was reminded that I am not a fan of the Detroit style pizza. The crust was just too thick for me. The pizza was good but like I said not my liking. I am more of a thin crust kind of guy. One of my coworkers had the steak mac'n'cheese that was also super yum. It had a wine based gravy cooked perfectly. Yum! My only disappointment was that I did not save room for dessert.

See my review for more details of our meal and experience. Overall it was a most tasty and memorable experience and will absolutely be back again. Flavor meets great good meets great service = awesome experience

Lovely little spot in a cute town. I love a Paloma so I tried the Baloma and it didn't disappoint. The pizza was really wonderful and the wedge salad paired well with it. Also had the carbonara which was well executed and the mussejs. Definitely will return.

Food was pretty good. Lots of different throngs on the menu to choose from. I love to dine outdoors when the weather is nice. Staff was friendly

Just happened to visit a few car dealerships in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's right on the corner of one of the main streets, so if you get a window table you can watch the people and traffic going by. The dining room is a bit small, and whenever someone opened the door they brought in the weather outside for the couple of seconds it took the draft to sweep around the room. Also, if you are sensitive to smells like most people in my family, the scented candles on each table may bother you. Our service was quick and pleasant. We ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls and fried mozzarella - that wasn't on the menu because it was a special - as appetizers. The mozzarella was the best I've ever had. Although the tomato sauce on the bottom was cold, it was also very flavorful and the olive oil gave it a bit more freshness. It was the real star of the meal. The egg rolls were also good. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and served hot! For the main I ordered a small OG pizza, which is mostly just a Detroit styled pepperoni pizza. It was very good and my favorite was the tomato sauce on it - different than the sauce underneath the fried mozzarella. My mother tried the Turkey pastrami, although she could only take a few bites since we gobbled up the appetizers quickly. I tried some of the fries that came with the sandwich. They were a little too well seasoned - too much salt and pepper, but they were some of the few fries I ate cold and were still more than edible. Also wanted to mention, the staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were spotless. All in all, this is a great restaurant. Hopefully if you plan to visit when the weather is agreeable, you can sit outside and enjoy the bustle of this town. I would definitely return to do just that!

My son's family treated me to a birthday dinner here on Sunday. My daughter in law had to track somebody down to take our order, but after that the service was good. We all enjoyed our food, starting with two appetizers, the cheesesteak egg rolls and the calamari, both of which were delicious. The kids had never had that style pizza before, and found it very filling. I had the seared salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed the veggies that came with it. We shared a brookie with a candle so they could sing happy birthday to me. The leftovers heated up nicely. I would eat here again if I was in the area.

The food is at the best mediocre here. I was surprised to see such a crowd at this place and the sizes of each dish were huge. When they say pizza, they mean a large pie. Please don't mistake it for a pizza. It was very thick with a ton of cheese on it. Even when we asked, the waitress said a large would be good for 2 people but she should have told us that it was a "pie" and not a pizza and a small would suffice! The waitresses were always in a super hurry and removed the plate before we even said "I am still eating". We had to tell her a second time not to take the plates away!

Great food and service. I had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. And it was enough food to take home to enjoy a second meal!

Food was great! Our server was welcoming and food runners were very efficient. Very cute and cozy place in Wayne!

We stopped in for an impromptu weeknight dinner. We were immediately acknowledged and brought to our table. We ordered the steak mac & cheese, and the pickle Detroit pizza. The steak dish came out pretty cold but that was a non issue and promptly rectified. I will say, the steak was very chewy and not the best quality. Despite this, the gnocchi was excellent. The cheese sauce was super creamy and delicious. The pickle Detroit pizza was also excellent!!

While it was a small menu in terms of food options, all three items we had were really good! Was hoping for a little bit more in variety when it came to craft beers, but opted for a cocktail and had the Ziggy Stardust. It was excellent but two of them would have had me on my butt by the end of dinner! Not for a frilly drinker for sure. The TGB Nuggets we're definitely worth the hype in other reviews. They were just crispy enough and the heat from the Sriracha mixed with the blue cheese crumbles was *chef kiss*. For dinner hubby had the steak Mac and cheese which he really enjoyed. I had debated between the braciole pizza and the pickle pizza and opted for the pickle Pizza which was SO good. I could only eat half of it after sharing the nuggets, but also because the salt eventually catches up with you. If we return I will definitely be trying the braciole pizza. As for ambiance and service, the ambiance is definitely cozy and service was friendly. Would return!

Came here to merry a friend for dinner. Really cool place with a nice outdoor seating area. It is right in the heart of Wayne. There's a lot nearby but it fills up fast. We were able to find parking on one of the side streets, we just had to walk a little bit. The place was really busy, even for a Tuesday night. That goodness we had made a reservation. We sat inside and the first thing I noticed was that it was really loud. After we had been there about half an hour, a guy started playing live music. Then the volume really increased. My daughter and I each ordered a cocktail which we really liked. My friend got wine. For my meal, I had a turkey club. It was a good sandwich but it wasn't a traditional club. This one had thick bread so only two slices. I really enjoyed it and was able to take half home. The fries served with it were really good. I would come back here again but not if I really wanted to have a conversation with someone and probably not the best date night option either. Next time, I think I will come for lunch!

Absolutely the coolest place on N Wayne avenue. Great food especially the salads and apps. If you're into smash burgers...Wednesday night is the perfect day to try it cause it's a great deal. My friends are so addicted that they keep coming back to visit me in Wayne so we can go back! great service is awesome and I absolutely love the outside seating

Good food and nice location in Wayne. I don't know if the service is the best here but I wouldn't be too picky. Overall had a nice time and everyone was saying that their food was great. The steak mac & cheese is very good, a few pieces of good meat over cheese gnocchi. Missing a little bit of salt IMO but very good. The burrata salad looked really good too and they had a special of ribs that got some good feedback too.

Really good! The staff is friendly + the ambience is very nice. It was really pleasant sitting outside, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered! I had the vegetable curry as my main and also a piece of the mushroom pizza which is SOOOO good.

Below is my original review of the Goat's Beard in Wayne. Since this review, manager Stephen DeLong reached out via email to discuss my experience. He was apologetic and sincere, and I was impressed with his professionalism. He has convinced me to return in the near future to give it another try. Thank you, Stephen DeLong, for reaching out and showing true dedication to your establishment. We look forward to our next visit. -------original review------ The appetizers were terrific! The atmosphere is trendy and populated by neighborhood patrons, which made for a very nice initial impression. Unfortunately, we were forgotten after being seated. We almost walked out but managed to get service by being boisterous and a bit pushy with the host. Eventually, a very reluctant waitress attended to us. Throughout our meal, we faced numerous issues. We had to retrieve our own straws and remind the waitress multiple times about our drink orders. She kept returning with bad news about what we had ordered. Additionally, she spent a significant amount of time flirting with a nearby table, ignoring our attempts to get her attention. As a multiracial family, my gut instinct tells me that our poor experience felt intentional, echoing concerns from another review I read. Adding to the frustration, we were surprised by an additional "back of the house" charge on our bill, approximately 3 percent of the total. I'm not sure what this is about, but it might be a new practice in the restaurant industry. While this place has potential, we are uncertain if we will ever return.

Goat's Beard Wayne rarely disappoints. Food is pretty good. Drinks are as well. Service is typically solid. Sometimes the restaurant is buzzy, sometimes not, but that's probably most places. There's probably a little bit for everyone at GB, although vegans and vegetarians might have limited options. There are also a few things pictured on their website that I've never seen in the restaurant to include mussels. Fix this please?:)

We had been to the goat's beard location in manayunk a bunch of times and one day I looked at the menu of the Wayne location!! They have double the options! The magic mushroom pizza is something I think was created just for my taste, there is nothing on it I don't love!! The nuggets are a must get, we always get 2 orders!! This time we tried the pickle pizza and the corn chorizo, both were different, but oh so good!! Definitely will be back to this location!!

Great food and drinks! Last time we went we felt like we were rushed because it was a busy night.

Love this place food is always good however we went this past weekend and got food poisoning. Very unfortunate.

Already a bad presentation...the website says they close at 11pm and we go at 8:50pm and they actually close at 9pm. Manager contacted me and after I proved the conversation and screen shot the website that was incorrect...they changed it (but not before I screen shot it) and then replied rudely. Very hostile. I would not recommend. I will post picture from last night. Instead of being honest and apologizing...this childish tactic was taken. We do not need establishments like this in our community!!! Sean the manager is not warm or welcoming. Surprisingly very rude and a liar. Shame on you. Continue to lie....do you see the pic where it says 3 hrs ago that the "hours" was changed. Provide your proof...because this is distasteful and shameful on your establishments behalf.

We visited two times. Good food. Four of us ordered different entrees, and liked all of them. Very friendly service by both times.

Me and a few friends met here for drinks and munchies. The bar area was definitely the place to be on a Friday night. I tried two cocktails- Twist & Shout and the Penny Lane. Both were unique and very good. Price for the serving was a bit high but that is usual for most bars so it wasn't a surprise. I'm not a whiskey drinker but I did notice the list of options was extensive. The bar are is kind of small so it can be a bit loud. It wasn't unbearable. We decided on several appetizers to start with our first round of drinks. Calamari was good. It was served with a tomato sauce....watch out for the peppers if you order it. Pita and hummus is always a good choice so we ordered that too. Lastly we ordered the Brussels sprouts. I know. Why order a veggie? But they were so good with big pieces of bacon. You know it's good if bacon is included! The Smoke Show Detroit Style Pizza and steak Mac & Cheese were ordered for dinner. The pizza was deep dish. I loved the extra layer of ricotta cheese. The steak Mac & cheese was a total surprise. Who would think to replace the pasta with gnocchi? So clever and delicious! It was a potato gnocchi with creamy cheese sauce. A must have if you visit. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is not overly big so I would call for a reservation. Definitely going to be visiting again.

Very very good Food especially good Drinks good Service good Ambient atmosphere good Great service
