Welcome back to the Delco Post. In this edition, we’re taking a stroll through Media and highlighting a few local spots worth checking out. Whether you’re planning a visit, looking for a new place to try, or just enjoy discovering what makes Delco’s towns special, we hope this guide gives you a few ideas for your next day in Media.

One of the best times to explore the food scene in Media is during Media Restaurant Week. For a limited time, many of Media’s favorite restaurants offer special prix-fixe menus and deals, giving you the chance to try new spots or revisit local favorites at a great value.

From cozy Italian restaurants to casual cafés and upscale dining, participating spots create exclusive multi-course menus and specials you won’t usually find on their regular menu.

Whether you’re planning a date night, dinner with friends, or just looking for an excuse to try somewhere new, Restaurant Week is a perfect reason to spend an evening exploring State Street and the surrounding downtown area.

Pro tip: Many restaurants get busy during Restaurant Week, so reservations are recommended when possible.

If you’re craving comforting Vietnamese food in Media, check out Nom Nam House — a takeout-focused spot with a few outdoor tables that’s quietly serving up some of the best pho and bánh mì in town.

Their menu keeps things simple but done right, centered around rich, aromatic pho that comes topped with fresh herbs, lime, jalapeños, and classic sauces like sriracha and hoisin (just skip the hoisin if you’re gluten-free). The broth is the star here, and you can customize your bowl with proteins like sliced rare steak, brisket, beef meatballs, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You can even mix two proteins for a combo bowl.

A few standout items to try:

Pho – Rich, aromatic broth with rice noodles and your choice of brisket, rare steak, meatballs, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Gluten-free friendly (skip the hoisin). Add house-made lemongrass chili oil for extra heat.

Bánh Mì – Vietnamese hoagies on a toasted roll with mayo, pickled veggies, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeños. Try the lemongrass pork, BBQ pork, shredded chicken, or tofu.

Vermicelli Bowls (Bún) – Cold vermicelli noodles with fresh herbs, pickled veggies, and your choice of protein, served with house fish sauce.

For a classic diner meal that won’t break the bank, check out The Rooster Diner in Media.

This local diner serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with the kind of hearty, no-frills comfort food people expect from a neighborhood diner. Think eggs any style, omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, cheesesteaks, and more.

Breakfast is where it really shines — simple plates like two or three eggs with meat, toast, and coffee make for an affordable and filling start to the day, while options like omelets, Benedicts, and breakfast combos add plenty of variety.

If you’re looking for big portions, diner classics, and solid prices, The Rooster is an easy go-to for a casual meal in Media.

Estate sales are the perfect place to explore unique treasures, discover cool homes, and enjoy a little weekend excitement. You’re sure to find something worth taking home.
