About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
Established in 2014 and reopened in 2022 with a reimagined interior, seasonal menu, and unique cocktail program, Causwells is a neighborhood American bistro rooted in the northern California style of cooking. Chef Adam Rosenblum draws from his diverse background to create a comforting menu that spotlights local, seasonal ingredients influenced by classic American dishes, European inspiration, and the American South. The cocktail menu from Beverage Director and Managing Partner Elmer Mejicanos redefines the American bistro, pulling inspiration from reimagined classics to seasonal offerings, to tableside experiences. Stop by Causwells’ new art deco-inspired space to enjoy a deliciously unique cocktail and smash-style Americana Cheeseburger – some say it’s the best in the country!

    Good food in a good location on Chestnut Street. Not too trendy and on the end of Chestnut where parking will be more available (this is relative). Certainly worth going to when in the area.

    Food was fine. I feel like this place gets a lot of credit it doesn’t deserve. It’s just fine, not great.

    Went to this restaurant for the hamburger; but was totally amazed at the biscuit with gravy and the banana bread with mascarpone and chocolate sauce! Would definitely go there again for the biscuit and the banana bread - both were superb!

    Good but not great burger - lacked flavor.. A little more flavor would help (in the patty) + extra $ for fry supplement.. $80+ for 2 burgers w/ fries (one w/ bacon) and a Caesar salad. Service very slow despite not being 100% busy. Better burger at Wayfare (same price and tastier), Super Duper (better bang for buck).

    Came in with a hankering for a burger. Got the Fancy Pants and added bacon and a fried egg. Was delicious and killed the craving. I will say it was a bit pricey but was delicious nonetheless.

    Still undefeated! Best cocktail and burger combination in the city. Toss in a couple deviled eggs and it’s perfection!
