For the daily grab-n-go lunch option, I've been very pleased with KBs offerings...until now, it's been all WAWA in that end of the avenue. Looking forward to sampling dine-in fare.

Well done Mr. Valiante.

Ken was seemingly confused because they used the term "Bistro". He apparently made the decision to go there based on the name, without bothering to read the menu. He, not the restaurant, set his expectations too high.

Bistro, traditionally, only promises speed of service. In that sense, KB pays off.

You shouldn't make assumptions about the orientation of the food because it's a "Bistro", "Cafe", or anything else.

It's nothing to do with quality I think it's more to do with quantity. I know it's more down to earth lunch stuff but did Collingswood really need another Italian Place? Nunzio, That's Amore, Sapore, Bistro de Marino, Il Fiore, Cafe Antonios, Zeppoli's, Villa Barone, Kitchen Consigliere....
I wish them all the best but there is really already enough pizza and Italian food you could want within a six block radius.

Your right, I was expecting something like haddonfield's bistro. I think we were all hoping for a nice breakfast/lunch spot to compliment pop shop. Something quieter :) yes I do have higher expectations. I want Collingswood to have high expectations.

And, come on, who wants meatloaf and mussels that have probably been sitting out since 11am!

Knight's Bistro is a flop, there is nothing dignifying about this establishment. The town deserves better and cuisine deserves better, we all know it.

It's a nice place with good food & good prices. I love that there is another option in town to dine with my child. Not a fan of the Pop Shop so this is great for families.

Not only has the Knights Bistro provided a clean pleasant atmosphere for the casual diner, it is providing a convenient lunch room for the areas business community with reasonably priced food. When the newly conceived “Lumber Yard” offices and apartments are completed the “Bistro” and similar locations will be successful. In the meantime, support this new location that has made a significant investment in a key Collingswood location. My wife and I have enjoyed lunches in the Bistro, first, standard cheese steaks which were as good as any in the area and secondly we enjoyed pasta dishes. We enjoyed the meals, the pleasant service and the interaction with Nick. Rather than post negative comments, direct your comments and suggestions to the management, a small business owner will adjust to the constructive comments of his customers. I wish the Knights Bistro success in Collingswood.

They made me a terrific hoagie and treated me with friendliness and courtesy. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. They were busy, and got my order together very briskly. I'll be back.

I wouldn't go there looking for filet mignon and tuna tartare, but if somebody can't figure that out by looking in the window, does that person really know a good restaurant from a chain store with stop signs nailed to the ceiling?

Colls doesn't need another Italian fine dining establishment. It fits the bill just fine
We went for the first time last week, were well treated by friendly owners and staff and got exactly what we expected. We will return! Good luck to them

We took our son one Sunday night when we didn't feel like cooking and had a great time. It is a quick little eatery with decent prices. It's not "going out to diner", it's "let's grab a bite to eat". I wouldn't even call it Italian since they have a wide selection of food. It's a little snobbish to expect every establishment to serve high end cuisine at exorbitant prices. When you cram too many of those in a small town, they tend to go out of business. There is a long list of examples we've seen along Haddon. They serve a market and do it well.

They may want to consider serving breakfast as well. Currently, there's only one game in town with a daily full breakfast menu, and I'm sure an additional morning restaurant would be welcome by those who work in our community!

Funny that 4 yelp reviews (of one atar each) have been filtered since this article.

Knight's Bistro is a disgrace. At best it's a dine in Wawa. What is worse is that the American public thinks that is a great idea. Vomit.

I have to agree with the person who said Knight's Bistro is a disgrace. While the decor and service are fine for a pizza establishment, the food is completely lackluster. This isn't setting the bar too high, it's called having some taste. The pizza is almost "sweet", and there's no real reason to go here. The menu is too extensive. They should do a few things great rather than trying to do a ton of items horribly.

3 casual restaurants have not made it at the LumberYard where Raymonds last resided. Mangia Mangia was the prior establishment and I can't remember the name of the 1st. Kinght's Bistro will be gone within 1 year for the same reasons. Collingswood residents and visitors don't have the need or interest in supporting these kinds of establishments with the amount of volume needed to generate the flow of income to pay the rent, utilities, help, and all the other bills. Period, end of story. Prime and expensive real estate and it's rent need a higher quality establishment with a high end product or the volume of people to support something less than that. That location at Haddon & Collings Avenue is prime. It's probably the best location in town for enjoying a meal or a cafe latte and watching the world go by in Collingswood. In my opinion it was a prime location for a Starbucks Cafe which would have brought a volume of foot traffic all day and night without hurting the nearby local cafe up the street. Both have different niches and a different customer base.

ATE AT KNIGHTS BISTRO A FEW TIME....YOU CERTAINLY GOT ALOT OF FOOD FOR YOUR MONEY...HAD EGGPLANT PARM..GRAVEY(sauce)for you non italians WAS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN RAGU...GREAT SUGGESTION TO OPEN FOR BREAKFAST SINCE NOT ANY OF OUR RESTAURANTS ARE. WHO EVER SAID IT WAS A DISGRACE.WHAT THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT?????

KB is a Good Place to grab a quick bite! I think it is good and Everyone should give it another try!(with an open mind)

Have read the pros and cons of Knights Bistro, so my husband and I thought we would give it a try today .. I have to agree with the pros. Food was excellent, large, very tasty portions - enough to take home. Everyone was very friendly. The atmosphere was clean and bright .. from today's lunch I highly recommend.

I went into KB the other night.... let me share my dissatisfaction. I didn't know about the negative reviews until right now.

I went in late, around 9:30 on Friday night. 8/3/12 -

I ordered a medium buffalo chicken Stromboli. I had a Ocean Spray Cranberry juice while I waited. it was cold. it was hot out. epic refreshment right there... UP UNTIL...

I saw an older women working there, she was emptying a Parmesan cheese shaker into another shaker to consolidate, until one of the shakes decided it wanted to clump up and not let anymore cheese out. so instead of using a knife or fork to loosen the cheese, SHE STICKS HER UN GLOVED FINGER into this shaker to get the cheese to loosen up. I nearly walked out.... but I kept my cool, paid for my Stromboli and left.

The Stromboli was pretty bland. really oily, almost to the oil where it bleed into the cheese and make that unpleasant. Not impressed.

i out of 5 for me. NEVER GOING BACK.

Booooo Knight's Bistro. I rather eat corsages from Kenmac.

The biggest problem with this place is that it provides the same sort of food options that Cafe Antonio, Stella's Pizza, Finizio's, Zena's American menu, Pizza Villa provide. And that's not counting Bruno's in Haddonfield or the other pizza places in Haddonfield or Cherry Hill. On top of that there are already a plethora of Italian places on Haddon Avenue. So the question is, why, why, why put another pizza shop in the area when its basically saturated with them already? Why not a Middle Eastern place, a Greek place, an Indian place, or ANYTHING that is different from what we already have in the area.

Secondly, while the prices are decent, the service is good, and the space is nice, the food is mediocre at best. The pizza is NOT better than the other pizza places in the area. And to say that Raymonds pizza was good is mind boggling. That pizza was awful. If you want really good pizza Mr. Valiante, go to Mama Nuccio's on the border of Hi-Nella and Somerdale. Likewise their chicken pesto panini was bland at best. The only thing that was semi-decent was their chicken caesar wrap, though Stella's tastes better and is a better value given that you can also get a drink and fries with it while you only get a small bag of potato chips and coleslaw at KB.

I've come late into this fray, but after reading the negative comments posted here it's no wonder no eatery seems to last at this location. I've lived in Haddon Twp for over 23 years and Knight's Bistro must be the 5th or 6th eatery at this location since.

You don't get to pick and dictate what type of restuarant opens at a location. So what that KB, "...provides the same sort of food options that Cafe Antonio, Stella's Pizza..." People saying, "why, why, why put another pizza shop in the area when its basically saturated with them already?" seems to me some Collingswood residents wan the town to incorporate into your zoning what types of restaurants can open along Haddon Ave and at the same time set limits on how many of what type are allowed. At least some of you did eat at KB and are not like others who posted negative comments without doing so.

I have a suggestion for all the citizens of Collingswood who think that KB shouldn't have (or even shouldn't have been allowed to), opened in your town. If KB fails (and I certainly hope they don't), and closes then you can partition your Mayor Maley to open that much needed food store at this location. After all, it's located at the highly traveled intersection of Haddon and Collins Avenues and does have a little over a 1/2 dozen municipal parking spaces available literary just behind it. That certainly should finally convince Trader Joe's to open a store in Collingswood!
