MaGerk's Pub & Grill Expanding Into Bucks, Montco

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —MaGerk’s Pub & Grill, the popular Horsham Road eatery, is planning to expand into Bucks County and also open another restaurant in Montgomery County.

MaGerk’s Pub & Grill is coming to the Summit Square Shopping Center just off of the Newtown Bypass in Middletown Township. It will also open an eatery in Royersford, marking its third location in Montgomery County.

The Lower Bucks County location will fill space later this year inside a 6,000-square-foot space at the far end of the shopping center at the site of the former Manny Browns Bar and Grill.

This will be the pub and grill’s first location in Bucks County. The new Montgomery County location would make five MaGerk's in Pennsylvania.

No opening dates are planned as of yet.

Besides the 307 Horsham Rd. location, MaGerk’s has locations in Fort Washington, and Lionville in Pennsylvania. Other locations are in Baltimore, and at Elon University in North Carolina.

The pub is known for serving “the best cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia.”

The Philly-inspired restaurant is known for its signature cheesesteak sandwiches, which are served on bakery-fresh rolls with a crusty outside and a soft center, according to its website.

“No matter which location you visit, you can feel the Philadelphia brotherly love in the cheesesteaks, atmosphere, and pride in fresh homemade ingredients and menu items,” the website states.

Horsham officials considered it one of the most popular restaurants in the township. It is also the site of numerous shows hosted by Philadelphia sports radio station WIP.

In addition to its signature cheesesteak sandwiches, jumbo crab pretzels, and famous tempura pickles, the pub’s menu is packed with mouthwatering appetizers, soups and salads, fries and rings, nachos, wings, entrees, sandwiches and burgers, and MaGerk’s famous Mac-N-Cheese (your choice of loaded, Buffalo or short rib).

Established in 2000 by John and Paul Dolaway, the first MaGerk’s Pub opened its doors at the corner of Charles Street and Cross Street in Baltimore’s Federal Hill neighborhood. The pub and eatery gets its name from John Dolaways' three daughters. He took the first initials from their first and middle names and arranged them to get MaGerk(s).
