My husband and I have lived in Phoenixville for a little over 3 years. One of our favorite things is dining out and there are so many wonderful local restaurants to choose from! After seeing the list of restaurants that are participating in this year’s event, I see we have so many more to try. “Taste of Phoenixville” sounds like the perfect way to discover what we’ve been missing right in our own backyard.
Living in Phoenixville, I still haven’t been able to eat everywhere that I want to yet! I would love the opportunity to try a few places that I just haven’t had time to get to yet, like Marly’s, Joe’s and The Mill!! This sounds just perfect for a Thursday night and like it would be a wonderful experience!!
Phoenixville in general has such a great dining scene, and places like Bistro and Molly’s are restaurants I am really going to miss when I leave this town. Creative foods like the risotto balls and the Irish nachos are the perfect dishes to pair with an afternoon cocktail with friends.
It really seems like a great fun event of a good cause. Always like to go and check out new dining places in the area and support it. What I do like the most though is the community feel of Phoenixville scene.
This event sounds like Good Times and a great chance to sample Phoenixville – there’s just too much good food to try it all otherwise! I love that P-ville has such a great variety of food, with breweries, pubs, Cajun and Thai food all within blocks of each other.
Wow, what a wonderful event held at a innovative venue to benefit a great place all right here in Phoenixville……Oh, did I forget to mention that it showcases Phoenixville establishments under one roof! What a great way to spend a Thursday evening.
I moved to Phoenxiville 2 years ago after a life changing transition. I love this community – it’s embraced me with open arms at a time when I needed connection. There’s nothing more comforting to me to visit the local restaurants and not only feel welcomed but also be fed with some of the most delicious and interesting cuisine. I would love to attend this event to meet new people but also help support a wonderful cause in a town that has the biggest heart.
Community, tradition, and a pioneering spirit, all at once! This event sounds like a wonderful way to try out a number of fine Phoenixville hot spots. I’d love to win a set of tickets – and then pay them forward by visiting the restaurants themselves.
Being able to get the chance to experience all that Phoenixville dining has to offer in one night would be wonderful! Living in the area my whole life i still am yet to try many of the amazing restaurants, i would love to take this opportunity to try them! Plus a night out is always enjoyable!
There are so many great restaurants in Phoenixville that we haven’t tried yet, this would be an amazing opportunity to find some new favorites!!
I would love the opportunity to attend this amazing event.
Phoenixville has risen from the ashes with its great variety of dining options; from a quite night out, to holding a wedding there is no limit to your options. Continuing to allow others in our community to also eat and feel full through the partnership between these great establishments and the Good Samaritan Shelter it will surely be a night where everyone will leave full of food and good deeds!
I am all about hometown support in every way, especially restaurants because I love to eat good food! Although I live in West Chester, I worked in Phoenixville for 10 years and got to witness a great resurgence in the town. I still enjoy visiting frequently and would love to be a part of this great event!
We love the Phoenixville area! We are huge fans of all of the great culinary experiences that you can enjoy in Phoenixville. I have really learned to try and enjoy many new foods by dining in the area. We would love to attend this event and experience even more culinary artistry!!!
Since I have a baking business, I’m always interested in tastings from local venues. It’s a great opportunity to learn about other restaurants/bakeries and to get new ideas on the latest trends – which helps me plan menus for the cooking classes for kids and for adults that I present. And, I love networking with other foodies! I’d love to win the tickets!!
Thanks!

I was born and raised in phoenixville and have seen the entire revitalization of the town.It’s amazing to see bridge st. “rise through the ashes” with successful bars, restaurants, and small shops. I occasionally head into town to grab a great meal or drink with friends. I have yet to taste the culinary expertise of all the neclactic restaurants in the area! Everything is within blocks of walking which is the best part. I would love to attend the taste of phoenixville to further appreciate my town, and of course share my reviews with friends and family who are unaware of the new “West Chester”.
My fiancé and I are getting married in Phoenixville in the spRing. Having recently moved to the area, I’d love this opportunity to get first hand experience of places to recommend to our guests. Thanks for the chance!
A Phoenixville resident, born and raised! I have truely seen the Renaissance before my eyes! I am a huge fan of our resturants, community events and anything the Hythas are singing at. My husband and I would love the opportunity to attend.
I would love to attend the festival to learn more about all of these restaurants in Phoenixville. There is such an amazing variety of food experiences available at this event to explore! This is a great opportunity to sample all of the best that Phoenixville has to offer.
My husband and I bought a house in Phoenixville two years ago and are so happy to live in our wonderful town. You see, we are big foodies – so even when we didn’t live in Phoenixville, we were driving here multiple times a week (1/2 hour each way) just to go out to eat! Now, we’re walking distance from downtown and still enjoying supporting all of our local restaurants. The best part is, my husband recently found out that after 27 years of avoiding it, he is NOT allergic to shellfish. This means we can try restaurants that we’ve never been to before – like Daddy Mims’ Creole! We would love to attend the Taste of Phoenixville not only because we would get to try new food from new restaurants, but because we’d love to support The Good Samaritan Shelter, a very important part of Phoenixville. Thank you for this opportunity!
Also, I forgot to mention that we love Becca’s Restaurant – we had an amazing wedding reception there in 2010!
The Phoenixville dining scene is on the cutting edge of culinary greatness! There is so much great food to try but not enough time to try it all. Attending this event would allow me to sample all of the culinary delights that I have been personally missing out on while also scouting out new catering options for work luncheons and events. The opportunity to network with more business owners and community members would support my quest. What I enjoy most about the Phoenixville dining scene is the variety of cuisine that is available with a balance of charming BYOB’s and lively pubs. As an added bonus, the restaurant owners/managers care about your dining experience which is not at all what I experience outside of Phoenixville. I would love to attend The Taste of Phoenixville to support all of the local restaurants and The Good Samaritan Shelter and for one night, being able to live to eat…not eat to live!
I’m expecting a baby in 3 weeks so this would be a fun night out before the baby gets here. I am a major foodie and love many of the restaurants in Phoenixville. My favorites are Iron Hill and Marly’s. I would love to try some of the other restaurants’ cuisine such as Daddy Mims and Pepperoncini but I have not yet had the opportunity. Please send me and my hubby on one last date!!!!!
This is abs stellar! My boy is a cook on the city and just moved into the philly area after living and cooking in nyc for 10 years. This would be a great opportunity to explore the tastes, smells, and plating skills of the food prep artistas blessing the burbs!
I’m actually looking at purchasing my first townhome in Phoenixville. This would be a great opportunity to explore the retail and dining of the area!
This is my first year living in Phoenixville and I’ve really enjoyed everything the restaurants have to offer. There is such a wide variety of excellent eateries offering just about any type of cuisine you’d desire. I’d love to go to the Taste as a bookend for my Phoenixville eating adventures.
I moved to Phoenixville a few months ago and have been happily eating my way through this beautiful community. My husband and I enjoy the amazing local business and restaurants that support local agriculture and the farm-to-table movement. Leave the city, we were concerned we’d miss the amazing restaurants in Philly. What we’ve found is a concentration of innovative, unique and delicious restaurants that leave us always hungry for more! We’d love to attend and try some of the establishments we haven’t made it to yet, and try some new offerings from our favorite restaurants! Cheers

Thanks to all of the amazing restaurants, I’m so happy I moved to Phoenixville! I lived in Philly for years and was sad to leave the foodie scene, but I can’t believe how great the restaurants are out here. They are so close by and the quality is just as good if not better. There are so many places that I haven’t tried yet and I would love the opportunity to check them all out. You’re not just another paying customer when you eat out in Phoenixville…the employees at any restaurant are always so friendly and actually care about your dining experience. I can’t wait to experience more of Phoenixville’s amazing culinary scene!
I would love to attend this festival and experience all Phoenixville has to offer. I rarely have the opportunity to spend a nice day out and discover local eateries. The culinary scene is second to none and I appreciate the constant change, such as Chef Andrew Deery’s innovative ways and Iron Hill Brewery’s one night a week specials!
