Campbell's Place, 8337 Germantown Ave., 215-242-1818. Inviting neighborhood bar offers reliable pub food with an emphasis on fresh and local ingredients. Salads are a menu highlight, and almost everything is made in-house, including desserts. Care's been taken with the beer and wine lists. Perfect place for a pint and a sit-down if you are shopping along Chestnut Hill's main street. Sunday brunch is a nice option, too. 2 forks (6/26/09)
Casa Brasil BBQ, 6222 Bustleton Ave., 215-744-6206. You won't find glamour or a huge spread at this Northeast Brazilian buffet, but you will find an amazing value. The offerings change daily, but it is consistently $9.99 for all-you-can-eat. Feijoada, the national dish of black beans, sausages and cured meats, is offered on Saturday and other specialties appear Wednesday through Sunday. The meat isn't high-end, but it is well-prepared and abundant. This is a protein fest and while there are some hot and cold vegetable dishes, unlike the chain Brazilian buffets, you won't find more than a few. Families and students can really stretch a buck here. 2 forks (5/28/10)
