On A Roll Restaurant

If you’ve only thought of On A Roll for lunch– rethink that! Got into Media a bit late for dinner on a Saturday night– checked some other restaurants and either for menu selection or wait times, went back to On A Roll with our bottle of wine. Pleasant ambiance, friendly staff and fresh delicious ingredients! Off the beaten path and well worth it!

Quick and delicious with good sized portions. Chicken fingers, Chicken Djionaise sandwich and Cesar Chicken Wrap all spot on! Good place for kids!

Great sandwiches that are super fresh and excellent quality. Meal served with fresh toast and bruschetta to start the meal. Quite delicious. For the price and quality, five stars.

Came from central jersey to the orchard around there so we Unilocaled a few places to get a sandwich. Glad we picked this place, AMAZING CHICKEN SANDWICHES!!! wish there was one around by us cause I would be there 3x a week

I really enjoyed my Caesar wrap! The whole meal felt very fresh and light, but filling. The homemade Caesar dressing was delicious!
The décor is very nice. It’s a small space so I don’t recommend going with a large group, but it would be a wonderful spot to do work over lunch.
I do wish my service had been a little better, especially for a first time visit, as the individual working was not particularly friendly.

Stopped in while at the courthouse. Great food and environment. Would strongly recommend this place

For all the choices in Media, this great little place is a ½ block off of State Street, but you’ll get some good food at a price. On A Roll is a great Panera alternative, and can be a great place to grab and go or dine in for a meal?
Atmosphere — On a cloudy Thursday evening, I decided to try this little spot, about ½ a block up from Azie. Inside, very nice décor with green and brown tones, a small dining area, and a large menu board featuring their selections. It seemed a bit warm inside, but with a few ceiling fans and some great windows for people watching, we settled in for our meal.
Waitstaff — To be fair, we ate here about an hour before close, and were waited on by one of the cooks. He was very friendly, and had a great personality, very likable and engaging. Brought our food and things out staggered, but did a good job for a secondary role. Did mention they ran out of ice, not quite sure how that happens, but at least he was honest and fun about it.
Food — I was very happy to report the food here was pretty good. My dining partner ate a Chicken Caesar rap as I like to say, that was done right. Homemade, creamy caesar with fresh lettuce and chunky grilled chicken. I went with the Chicken Parm special which was pretty good as well, but both were ‘as is’, meaning a garnish side or small side of pasta. For the price, you could do better at some of the other restaurants in Media on the amount of food you get. Also got some chocolate chip cookies to take home which were ok, little disappointed with the dessert.
Intangibles — This restaurant does catering and has a lot of tasty options. Part of me thinks that this would be an awesome lunch spot, but really just ok for dinner? Easy and convenient if you’re in town for the day or for ugh, jury duty. I’d be interested in getting food ‘to go’ here, rather then dining in for the future.
Overall — Good concept and good service get a good rating from me. Will have to try back for lunch to see if it alters my review (was really torn between a 3 or 4 star review here, but think that might have been for dinner). This is another, of many good spots in Media, which you should try if you’ll be in town.

Great lunch after a long flight to Philly. If we lived in the area it would easily be a favorite.

New to living in media, my boyfriend and I are slowly trying all the restaurants and we have to give this place 5 stars! The service was quick and super friendly! It’s a cute little shop with a smaller menu but it was delicious! I got the Chipotle Chicken Breast Sandwich and I don’t have any complaints! The chicken was juicy and cooked to perfection and the chipotle sauce wasn’t too spicy but just enough for me to notice it. I tend to be a picky eater so I opted out of the mushrooms and caramelized onions but it also came on the softest roll and cheddar cheese as well. Needless to say we will definitely be going back soon!

I love their chunky chicken salad sandwich. They also have good onion rings.

I returned here and surprisingly my dining partner and I ordered the same thing as last time. Both were still good but the burger is the draw — very juicy and perfectly cooked. We also ordered a soup — we had our choice of potato, ham, and bacon or vegetarian chili. We opted for the potato which clearly was home made but I’m not sure I would order this again as I expected something less chunky and more creamy. It was good but just not my taste.
Service was ok but nothing to write home about. We started to get ignored after entrees were served and a big group of men came in and joined a table one by one.
It’s Media, so parking can be challenging especially with the most recent snows. It’s not accessible since there are be stairs to get in.

What can I say. This place has it all. Good food, good service and a good quality environment. Oh and relatively cheap food! This place made me wanting more, and I will definitely be back!

Very good sandwich, wrap, and soup options. Hits the spot for lunch or dinner. In addition they have the best Caesar salad in Delco, better than the top steakhouses and Italian restaurants. Very nice staff too.

I’ve been here twice for business meetings now. Finding a place that satisfies my coworkers desire for cheap food and my desire for quality food can be difficult, but On A Roll makes that possible. It’s a homey little café with a great staff. They are happy to wait on their customers and the food is quickly prepared. They have standard fare, a variety of sandwiches, and some soups and sides. The chair I was sitting on collapsed mid meal, but I will let that slide because it must have been hilarious watching me tumble to the ground.

I do not think of burgers in the same sentence as On A Roll (as in the restaurant), because I have always visited On A Roll for more «lunchy» sandwiches like chicken salad, or cold cuts, or for just salads. Recently I consulted Unilocal for decent burgers neaby and was surprised to see On A Roll come up, and also surprised to see they are open for dinner hours. As you can see, I had always thought of them in a very lunch-​defined category. I hadn’t been to On A Roll since they moved from their old location (where Buddy’s is now), yes, quite a while ago. (We tend toward Custom Bagels for lunch in Media.)
So we tried some «dinnery» food from On A Roll the other night. Husband got Chipotle Chicken sandwich and I had the All-​American Burger. My husband said his was good, but he’d have liked a little more spice. My burger was pretty decent.
Actually, my husband also bought a burger at Upper Crust in Newtown Square on his way home, so we could split things and sample.
The On A Roll burger patty was Angus meat, and definitely decent grade meat. The ½-​pound patty from Upper Crust was somehow more flavorful, though they did not advertise it as Angus beef or anything special like that. I was surprised that Angus would not taste better than the no-​name meat from Upper Crust but maybe they just didn’t specify whatever it was in the menu?
On A Roll’s bun was FAR superior to the Upper Crust one (even after husband requested a kaiser over a lame sesame crap bun that Upper Crust normally serves). On A Roll’s cheese and other toppings were good quality. My lettuce was a nice deep green (Romaine? but not bitter like Romaine), and the onions, which I requested raw, were very crisp. I did not get to try Upper Crust toppings because they charge $ 0.50 per lettuce, onion, etc., and that is just kind of obnoxious to me (toppings are free at any other burger place around). All in all both places do not specialize in burgers, so the comparison was fair that way. I would say overall On A Roll wins.
I would rate On A Roll’s burgers above Georgio’s on taste, and on par for value since On A Roll offers a superior patty for a higher price. On A Roll is way above Buddy’s across the street, BUT the ideal combo would be to get fries at Buddy’s (they have AMAZING fries) and a burger at On A Roll.
I am so disappointed by Wimpy’s in recent years, I don’t even want to enter them into the conversation. I just don’t do Wimpy’s anymore.
The On A Roll staff was friendly and food was ready on time.

This place is great and right off of Orange and State. The food is always perfect! I always have the Chicken Cesar Salad, but I have had some of their sandwiches and soups and have never been disappointed. Environment is cozy and clean. Staff is always friendly and I have never had a meal that was not of the best quality.

If you are in Media and want to try something new check them out, you will not be disappointed.

This review is based solely on the chicken caesar salad. But this is a 5 star chicken caesar salad! It’s just your classic CCS with creamy dressing, romaine, homemade croutons and perfectly grilled chicken. Also, the staff are really friendly.

Been living a media for a few months aways drove past and was impressed with the outside presentation and wanted to give it a try. I finally checked out On a Roll and it was nicer and cuter than I expected! The restaurant was clean, cozy but not stuffed. The menu was presented impressively and not immature or all over the place. I got the «famous» chicken caesar salad. I’ve had at a lot of chicken Caesars and most are all always good but the same tasting. This one did popped! The chicken was grilled right there and fresh they put it together in a quickly manner and were gracious. I would go back again!

Just love the chicken cheesesteak with greens and honey mustard, totally awesome. Can always get a yummy dagwood sandwich or stupendous salad. I have always loved the food here. fresh and creative. Check hours before heading there.

I always heard amazing things about the food here, and when I started working in the area, I was glad to finally be able to try it out. The salads and wraps are beyond fabulous! The chicken they use is so fresh and delicious, you won’t want to stop eating!
The specials are also great as well, I had the Marathon Wrap which had grilled chicken, spring mix, cucumber, bruschetta mix and tzatziki sauce on it. The sauce had a bit of a kick, but it was a great change up from my usual love of the Chicken Caesar Wrap or House Salad.
