Neshaminy Mall

Decent mall that has stayed relatively unchanged as far as size for as long as I can remember.(1980’s? other than extending the movie theater) Has the usual mall fare such as a Macy’s, Boscov’s, Sears a food court some «discount «clothing and jewelry outlets etc. You will usually find what you are looking for in a mall here without the giant overwhelming feel you might get at say the Willow Grove, Oxford Valley, King of Prussia and even Cherry Hill Malls. In my opinion, these larger malls have been ruined with the over loading of chain restaurants, multiple levels, and bad parking. Admittedly, Neshaminy Mall was more fun back in the day when they had a cool pet store, pinball and video arcades and more mom and pop stores over the commercial everything there now. Pluses are they have a better than average attached AMC movie theater. They still have the old time cool Spencer’s gift shop. Still fun, not as much fun as it was years ago, but still pretty cool just to sight see alone. Also good there is a pretty good sized book store in Barnes and Noble. (dying breed anymore enjoy it while it lasts) They had a decent Italian restaurant in Café Riviera but for some reason the mall execs wouldn’t let them stay or work out their lease agreement, so they closed unfortunately and now if you want to eat you are forced to go to a noisy crowded food court for junk food, Major downer! (Although they do have a Friendly’s restaurant as an alternative to the food court, but I consider their food not much better) I have to say that the men’s restrooms thru out the mall could be cleaner and deodorized more often (especially the food court, disgusting!) Other than that the mall is clean for the most part. But again, the plus side of this mall is its convenience, smaller 1 level comfy size, ample parking, nicer Bucks crowd for the most part, and still decent selection of stores.

I like this mall. They have all of the stores I shop at for the most part. I also love their movie theater. Their food court is pretty decent, but they also have a few restaurants outside in the same parking lot.

I live less than a mile from this mall so I come here often because it’s convenient. It’s not the best mall in the area but it has the staples. I frequent H&M, Macy’s, bath and body works and Victoria’s secret. I sometimes visit boscovs and can get lucky finding a few good things. Other than that, there isn’t much going on in the mall. The Macy’s at Oxford valley is better in terms of selection and sale but this gets the job done. I do like the h&m here. They have a great selection and even better sales.

Pretty decent mall with decent stores. The food court is kind of whack however. Obviously it’s not as good as Willow Grove or Oxford Valley but it’s closer and does the trick. I don’t recommend getting the pictures with Santa here around Christmas. They came out horrible and the wallets were micro tiny. Willow Grove is better for that. All in all its a good mall and I’ve always had good experiences here.

It’s a mall, which aren’t the most exciting places but, for the area, you could do a lot worse.
Biggest draw is probably the movie theater, which is huge and comfortable — there’s also a Barnes and Noble, arcade, FYE and I believe a Vans store for the teen demographic. Place is clean and there’s a food court. Good place to kill some time before going to the movies basically.

What is left here? It feels like you are walking in a mall that is holding on to its hey-​day of the 90s. Despite its sad selction of shops, it stays alive because of the movie theater and the Barnes and Noble, and large Sears department. These stores seems to be its life-​support.

Tiny selection of stores, and the ones available have a smaller selection of merchandise (even the sales associates tell you to visit other locations if you’re looking for a better variety).
The place was known for being the «emo kids mall» (Willow Grove was the preppy kids mall etc). Maybe this has changed recently but not what I saw.
Food court also has a tiny selection of places to choose from.

Pretty decent, used to go here all the time with my friends when we were in high school. Still go there occasionally!
Movie tickets at the AMC are way too expensive for me, and when you already have overpriced movie snacks, that’s a no.
Torrid is amazing, it’s nice to have clothes that fit comfortably, they do size 12s and up. The staff is so nice and friendly. Always have cute clothes, always have sales, which is nice since the clothes are kinda pricey, and when you purchase from them you get hot cash for a certain amount off from your next order.
Spencer’s is a tight squeeze sometimes, especially when it’s crowded, but always fun to walk around and see what they have. Definitely the place to get fun birthday stuff. Got a beanie there and I still wear it in the fall/​winter.
Right across from Spencer’s is Café Riviera, always have great pizza, huge slices. Don’t be fooled, they also sell other Italian dishes too, which are really good. Tried their lasagna and it was really good. Just walk past the front and go down the side to see their menu, grab a drink, and order. Comfy booths. They also have a waitress there who’s been there for years, my friend used to call «Awesome Pizza Lady» because she would talk with us about musicals and was up to date on other pop culture, my Power Rangers ringtone went off and I didn’t realize she still worked there and she yelled «Who has the Power Rangers thing as their ringtone?!»
Go there and DON’T go to the Friendly’s please. My friends and I went there, waited so long, food was cold, the waitress was rude, got my friends order wrong when she stressed very hard to have it a certain way, then charged her for two, and when we couldn’t tip that well because we were in a big group (of teenagers) and non of us had enough cash (because they overcharged us), and the manager harassed us til we gave her a bigger tip. Not sure if she still works there, but I’m never going back there.
In the food court, Charlie’s is amazing, get the California Chicken sandwich. Chic Fil Et (sp?) is great, no longer giving money to anti-​gay establishments, plus the waffle fries are amazing. Sbarro has decent pizza. Added a FroYo spot in the back by the doors to the parking lot.
Francesca’s has cute stuff, but grossly overpriced. Same as Express. New York & Company has some hidden gems in there, got a really comfy jacket. Charming Charlie’s added near there, everything is color coded and cute.
Barnes & Noble is great, huge selection, great kids section, pretty decent New Age section, bathrooms by the doors to the parking lot. Starbucks has pretty decent drinks there. Food, awwww yesss, desert wise anyway.

When we needed Boscov’s Travel they were no where in sight. We were on a tour and two buses broke down. No Boscov’s. The tour guide did not time the tour properly and we missed sites we were promised. We missed different sites because we got there too late. When we landed at the Newark Airport, we were told that someone would be there to greet us and direct us to the bus that would take us to our car. No one was there. It took us over an hour to find the bus. So instead of getting home 11:30 P.M. we got home at 3:30 a.m. I called, emailed and sent a letter to the President. Two weeks have passed and no response at all. Nothing. Don’t use Boscov’s Travel if you intent to enjoy yourself. Once they are paid, they are not interested anymore.

Typical mall situation. Your run of the mill stores that pretty much exist everywhere. I do like that this mall has a Boscov’s, which you can get some great sales in there. Barnes and Noble is always a plus. I only go to the mall when I need certain things, and I like this one. It’s never crowded. I never feel overwhelmed in there. Personally, I don’t mind the food selection either. I like their food options better than Mills or Oxford. Café Riv is a great gem of that place as well. It’s small and can be walked easily. The location is great as well considering the other shopping centers that are around it.

Its okay its boring they always got the same stuff in the store they fail to bring anything new the food inside not that enjoyable, its bla

Nice mall, very clean and well kept, plenty of parking.
Café Riveria cafeteria style restaurant is a very good place to take the family good food and nice size portions it is inside the mall. Food court is also nice not usually crowded.
The movie theater is the best well kept and clean, look for early bird specials on the internet. Neshaminy Mall is a good place to spend some time while your in the area visiting other attractions. oh did I mention a great dollar store.

Not digging the Vaper Kiosk! Pretty gross!

Been coming here almost since they opened. Movie theater improved, but the rest of the place is stuck in the 70s. I really wish they would improve the food court. 2 Chinese, 2 pizza and a chic-​fil-​a do not make me want to stay and eat. Lots more options across the street in target and Wal-​Mart shopping centers.

Clean mall. Kind of laid out strange. Has most of the stores you need. Also a movie theater & friendly’s inside the mall. A decent food court. Not much as far as speciality stores. Mostly big chains.

Neshaminy has always been my favorite mall. They have all of the major stores, lower sales tax than in the city and the mall is readily available via mass transit. The movie theater is still prime time and the layout is very friendly. I hate malls that have definitive north and south poles; the box shape of neshaminy allows easy browsing without doubling back and forth over and over.
Great mall!

A mall on the downside of its heyday, Neshaminy still has enough to offer to entice the occasional visit. The place is kept clean and the layout isn’t a as difficult to navigate as other malls. There are 3 flagship stores (Macy’s, Sears, and Boscov’s) with the food court in the center and a movie theater and B&N as well. The hours are good, especially during holiday season. Parking isn’t optimal during peak times, but could be a whole lot worse. Overall, an average mall to visit for your shopping needs.

They have a lot of great stores in this mall. I think it’s a great size with popular stores. I was visiting from out of town and bumped into this random mall.

All malls are dinosaurs waiting for extinction.
Neshaminy is no different. Aside from the entertainment value of the AMC theaters, there is little to recommend it. After ruining Main Streets around the world with large parking fields and lots of meaningless choices, they are now suffering the same fate.
People are «Malled Out!»
We want something more integrated into our communities; part of our social fabric, not something standing alone and uninvolved. The next generation will be synthetic villages. Smaller shopping markets clustered together and surrounded by neighborhoods, schools, parks, hospitals, employment opportunities, and good roads leading to the rebirthed urban centers. It is called by many names, New Urbanism, Post-​Modern Cities, Back to the Future, etc. But, it is definitely coming.
There are examples of this next utopian model around the world, and if you find one be sure to investigate.
I, for one, am excited for the chance to return to a future full of the elements that made earlier societies function efficiently, while adapting the best that technology and science have to offer.

A small mall that has a lot character. I’ve been coming to Neshaminy Mall for years and even though it is a very small mall, it always is a lot of fun. The mall is U-​shaped, with the food court being in the middle. The best way to describe the mall is to break it up into a few sections.
The Food Court: This place used to be a little bit bigger, but the jewelry stores on the corners keep creeping in and taking over the corner food stores. Has a Chick-​fil-​A, pizza place, China Max, salad place, Charley’s, and a few other places. Auntie Anne’s also has a couple of locations at the mall, along with Rita’s Water Ice. Not too many restaurants in the food court area, or even in the mall as a whole, but they seem to hit all of the genres of food, so there is that.
AMC 24: This is really the #1 reason to come to the mall and pretty much drives most of the traffic to this place. On the left side of the mall, you have one of the nicest, best movie theaters I’ve ever been to. Also now they added a Barnes & Noble to that area as well, so there is even more of a reason to go over there.
The other side: This is really the dead zone of the entire mall because their isn’t a lot of traffic being driven to this area. The Friendly’s is over in this area along with another restaurant, Café Rivera. Other than those places and a few more stores like Spencer’s, not much reason to come down to this end of the mall. Their is a pretty nice water fountain on this side with an Native American statue that is a staple of the mall, but other than that, not much to see on this side.
If this mall really wants to improve, all they need to do is on the other side of the mall without the AMC, they need to add a major chain restaurant, like a Cheesecake Factory of something. Right now I have no reason to go to that side, but if they put a great restaurant over there, I’d eat dinner there, then catch a movie. Over the years, they’ve put new stores in the mall, like added a Barnes & Noble and the quality of the patronage has improved. Years ago, the mall was practically Gotham City with kids who dressed in all blacked and dyed hair walking around, but now all of that has cleared up a lot. Small, but I’ll keep going back because its always a good experience at Neshaminy Mall.
