MONTCO'S BEST OUTDOOR DINING

155 Village Drive
King of Prussia

Montgomery County’s newest dining destination, the King of Prussia Town Center, was designed from the very start to offer al fresco meals, and now that spring and summer are unfolding, there is no time like the present to sample both the menus and the atmosphere. Through September, Wednesday nights offer movies, concerts and happy hours.

800 Spring Mill Ave
Conshohocken

Coyote Crossing, its owner and its Mexican menu were recently profiled in our blog. The restaurant's patio is a great place to relax and enjoy the authentic South of the Border flavors in downtown Conshohocken.

150 E. Park Ave
Schwenksville, PA 19473

Woodside Lodge evokes a time when vacationers came to Schwenksville, the western part of Montgomery County, to escape the city swelter. While dining today amid its sunset views, it's almost possible to hear the murmur of men in bowler hats and women in bustles.

1005 Horsham Rd
North Wales

The culinary skill at the Joseph Ambler Inn makes every entrée selection recommendable, from a perfectly seasoned steak to a mouthwateringly juicy burger. The outside terrace, with its hanging baskets of cheery geraniums, provides a lovely setting of spring or summer beauty.

1401 Morris Rd
Blue Bell, PA 19422

The Farmer's Daughter in Blue Bell takes the farm-to-table concept and consistently ups it with a setting that speaks of both sophistication and comfort. The Farmer's Daughter recently debuted a renovated outdoor dining space with a fire pit, bar, plush seating and water feature.

765 N. Lewis Rd
Limerick

An open-air patio and deck provide a relaxing setting for drinks, appetizers and conversation at Landis Creek Golf Club in Limerick. The views - particularly at dusk - are beautiful, as the departing sun paints the fairways and greens with a summery golden hue.

236 Mall Blvd 
King Of Prussia, PA 19406

The Capital Grille offers a Lobster Mac & Cheese that is even more tempting - if that's even possible - when eaten under the sky.

9 Old Lancaster Rd 
Malvern, PA 19355

The Historic General Warren has been a Malvern institution since its establishment in 1745. Thanks to modern technology, you can enjoy an outdoor dining experience year-round on the climate-controlled Spring House Terrace.

700 W. DeKalb Pike 
King of Prussia, PA 19406

Of the many treats in store for diners at Sullivan's Steakhouse is a patio that comes alive when temperatures allow. A bank of televisions puts a view of the latest game or golf match in full view while enjoying different brews and appetizing bites.

250 Mall Blvd 
King of Prussia, PA 19406

A multicourse meal at the outdoor seating at Maggiano's Little Italy evokes the feel of a traditional Italian family reunion. Keep that platter of meatballs moving around the table, please.

160 N. Gulph Rd
King of Prussia, PA 19406

One of King of Prussia's newest dining experiences is Bonefish Grill, which offers an outside patio when the weather invites and an in-the-Mall patio when conditions are less than ideal. Inside or out, don't forget an order of Bang Bang Shrimp.

320 Goddard Blvd
King of Prussia, PA 19406

Bahama Breeze channels the relaxation and culinary delights of the islands in a lanai setting that lets in the cool air while keeping out any precipitation. Live bands only add to the island ambiance.

160 N. Gulph Rd
King of Prussia

The casual fun of a burger and shake gains real appeal at Shake Shack, where the building's slightly wonky retro architecture can be enjoyed to its fullest.

50 Sunnybrook Rd
Pottstown

Long before the dance bands came onsite, Sunnybrook opened as a swimming club in the 1920s. Now, its signature restaurant, Gatsby's, is reviving that sense of outdoor fun with patio dining, offering a finely crafted menu for both lunch and dinner.

100 Old Gulph Rd
Gulph Mills, PA 19428

Savona Restaurant in Gulph Mills sits on a historic curve in Route 320, where the rocky overhang has been a landmark since before the Revolutionary War. A table on the partially enclosed patio is lovely on a mild evening, and best of all, the restaurant's comprehensive 1,200 wine selections are readily served al fresco. 

129 E Butler Ave
Ambler, PA 19002

Dettera Wine & Restaurant Bar in Ambler provides an expertly prepared alfresco menu, and the foot traffic along Butler Pike makes for great people-watching.
