Mr. Wish (Abington)

Emoji Sushi & Teriyaki
$ | (267) 818-6768 | WEBSITE

Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

What with the good fortune of Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard being situated on a busy road, this location typically has no lines, making it a quick stop for dessert. Expect friendly and helpful staff and a variety of flavors, including sugar-free options.

Vintage Bar And Grill
$$ | (215) 887-8500 | WEBSITE
Although Vintage Bar And Grill has been a fixture in Jenkintown for years, there’s no contesting that it remains one of the area’s most reliable and satisfying dining spots. Would the casual bar and grill be as popular without all the consistently excellent service and welcoming atmosphere? One visit will answer that.
Señor Salsa
$ | (215) 887-9600 | WEBSITE
Señor Salsa is an Abington mainstay that’s home to some big-portion, big-fiesta-energy Mexican mains and satisfying little lunch special classics. The place delivers delicious food with large servings, including vegetarian options like salads, cheese and bean enchiladas, and veggie fajitas. The service is close to five-star, though it can feel understaffed on busy days.
Customers enjoy outdoor seating with music, the best margaritas—especially mango margaritas that some buy multiple times—and reasonably priced lunch specials. The restaurant is appreciated for its flavorful dishes like carnitas fajitas and birria tacos. The staff, including Ismael, Noel, Jessica, and Ana, are friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Visitors often mention the great drinks, such as margaritas and sangria, and the inviting decor, making it a popular spot for family outings and spontaneous date nights. The tableside guac is highly recommended, and the overall atmosphere is lively and fun. While the place can be a bit dark, the food, drinks, and friendly staff make it a favorite for quick bites and drinks, especially for those waiting across the street at the hospital.

Crafty crab
$$ | (215) 277-5282 | WEBSITE
Making a strong case for one of 2026’s most satisfying seafood experiences is the seafood boil from Crafty Crab. Terms like generous and flavorful are typical praise for standout seafood dishes, but this one from the bustling seafood spot in Abington really delivers on those fronts. The boil comes loaded with lobster tail, snow crab legs, clams, shrimp, and scallops, all drenched in their signature boom sauce with a spicy kick that customers rave about.
While some items might arrive a touch overdone, the overall meal hits the mark. Friendly servers offer helpful suggestions, especially during happy hour when drinks are discounted. The atmosphere can get lively with music, and the space shows some wear, but the seafood shines through.
Nothing Bundt Cakes
$$ | (267) 536-2057 | WEBSITE
A charming but casual bakery just off the main high street in Abington, Nothing Bundt Cakes is a great neighbourhood spot serving dangerously good bundt cakes, including the moist double chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and some strawberries & cream that should not be underestimated.
The festive decor and friendly, efficient staff make it a go-to destination for delightful treats like the customer-favorite apple cider bundt cake and highly recommended red velvet, with sizes ranging from 10-inch bundts to bite-sized Bundtinis perfect for any occasion.
Roslyn Pizza
$ | (215) 887-0988 | WEBSITE
It could be the spicy steak pizza, it could be the taco pizza, or it could be the oh-so generous portions, but there is something irresistible about this all-day pizza spot with a convenient parking lot in Abington’s Roslyn neighborhood.
South Sea Thai Kitchen
$ | (215) 789-2345 | WEBSITE
Tucked away in Abington, you might easily miss this cozy spot if you’re not looking carefully. And you’d be missing out. The Thai specialties here are all consistently excellent, especially the red curry and the pineapple fried rice. With a menu featuring gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, this place is as perfect when you’re craving crispy spring rolls as it is when you’re in the mood for a rich and satisfying Tum Yum soup.
The small, peaceful dining room with its fish tank creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the super nice owners and friendly staff make every visit feel special—they’ll even customize dishes to suit your preferences. While you might occasionally wait a bit longer than expected, it’s a small price to pay for such high-quality food and genuine hospitality.
Philly Pretzel Factory
$ | (215) 657-8077 | WEBSITE
After years of serving classic soft pretzels from their well-run Abington Willow Grove location, Philly Pretzel Factory has expanded their menu to showcase a more substantial take on their beloved baked goods. The new pork roll egg and cheese sandwich on a pretzel bagel and perfectly cooked pizza pretzels are essential.
Fuji Asian
$ | (215) 478-8888 | WEBSITE
An Asian restaurant in name but something far more gem-like and beautifully presented by nature, this Abington spot is a family-owned business for the people of the neighborhood. The menu is for everyone though, with the NY Steak Teriyaki Bento Box and the fresh Mango Tango roll particular highlights.
