    I love to come here with my siblings for some quick bites and good drinks. The place is very big and has so many items on their menu. I love their wings and soup, and the service is great! Everyone that works there is super nice and helpful, and the environment of the place is friendly and welcoming.

    I enjoyed this place! Will definitely come back whenever i visit Philly again!! That Bum Salad was one of the best salads I've had, and I've had plenty! Salads are my fave! The restaurant was busy and the music was definitely a vibe! Took a while to get a server but once we went and mentioned no one came, the waitress we had was great! Will return for sure!

    Seafood Platter
    Tamara C.

    The quality, amazing, the taste was okay. I used to be a frequent flyer so I already how delicious the everything would be. The ONLY thing that I forgot and I'm taking a point away , they still don't clean the shrimps. If they took a few minutes to devein them, it would be five stars across the board. I ordered a to go platter and it was good, I can only imagine if I do a sit in.... Yuuuuum. When I do sit in, I'm going to ask if they can clean my shrimps and see the reaction. Give them a play, it's worth it. A- A- A-

    Bread

    It was pretty average looking on the inside - like an around the way spot. This is coming from an out of towner. The broiled salmon was delicious - juicy and well seasoned. If you do nothing else in life, do not order the rice- super dry and old tasting. I actually thought it was shaved carrots when it came to the table. The waitress was kind enough to swap it for mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes *chefs kiss* - however, the cup of butter was odd. Who needed that? They were perfect as is. The crab cake eggrolls were a special but the lump crab meat and that Thai chilli sauce was good too. Last but not least... the bread. It was cold and we could've done without. Had it been warm, I may recommend it. Based on the specials and the drink menu, I'm sure this is probably a go to spot for locals to have a good time for happy hour and catch some games.

    The Bum Salad

    The service was good the food sucked!!! The only thing was good was the asparagus and crab egg rolls the seafood broil no real seasoned the tropical paradise awful! Red pepper wings was dry as hell and bum salad was just a bum salad the food went down don't rush cus of the hype !!!

    Stuff shrimp .  Sweet Potato Fries, corn on the cob.

    The food was awesome waitress Miriam was so nice ... a little chaotic at the door to get seated... the music awesome .... The barmaids are evil and charge what they want I ordered a drink and this classless barmaid asked the guy I didn't even know if he was buying my drink. Not sure what that was about that's why i choose to tell all the good things first because overall the place is a nice vibe for a girls night out

    Pepper wings

    Ordered takeout and noticed later on that I was missing all the side dishes. I ordered the Hungry Harry and this is what i received, not worth the price.

    I had the pleasure of hanging out here with 2 friends. Large, clean space with very friendly staff. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered and we will definitely return! They have a large bar area with TV's, which is great to watch your favorite sports teams as well as enough space for group events.

    Manicotti is pasta. Tortillas in disguise stuffed with a cheese seafood filling is not it. Never again. A waste of money.

The cage is consistent: great food & service. Always a great experience. We will be back!

    Great atmosphere, very on theme with an upscale vibe. All of the drinks and food were delicious,…read morelots of really creative items with bold flavors and interesting combos!! We went for the happy hour app and drink specials for our birthdays, but because it took our server 15 minutes to come back and check on us, they wouldn't let us get the specials. (Felt intentional, like they were stalling) Our server was nice, but not attentive at all. I would have given it 4 or 5 stars if it wasnt so pricey and the service was better. We will definitely give it a weekend try, just in case it was an off night. Tip: I was not a fan of sitting in the half booth tables right by the hostess stand. It was extra dark and it felt more like where you sit while waiting for your actual table. Ask to be seated further in the dining room...it is really cool inside! Big parties can even get seated IN a birdcage!

    I was looking for a good fast food burger on DoorDash and stumbled onto this place. Menu is very…read morelimited, just burgers, fries, and soda. I decided to pick up the Beast Style Burger combo with unseasoned fries and a Chris Style burger. The burgers are available with two patties, three patties, or more. The patties are thin and browned perfectly, just the way I like them. I chose the double patty with bacon and lettuce and the sandwich was good. The bread was soft and chewy, I think toasting the bun would've made it much better but I didn't taste that they do that. The burger is topped with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, and American cheese. I would have preferred to have left the mayo off but the option wasn't available and they don't allow for special orders. Still, the burger was very good. The seasoning they use takes a little of getting use to but it makes the flavor unique. It says the seasoning is spicy red pepper, garlic, paprika, sugar, and a hint of lime. Better than your average fast food burger and I would put it in the league of a restaurant burger. Five Guys is my go to fast food burger and I might prefer this burger to them. The Chris style burger isn't terribly unique, it puts fries on top of the patty but you don't really notice it. Fries are crinkle cut which is not a cut I'm terribly fond of but these fries are good despite being crinkle cut. They're similar to the kind you get from Chickie's and Pete's but they're not overcooked like at that establishment. They offer something called Beast Style fries which are cheese fries topped with caramelized onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo which did not appeal to me at all. If they offered regular old cheese fries, I would have picked that up in a heartbeat. MrBeast Burger is good but I think it could be better. They offer a patty melt burger I would love to try if I had the option to not have caramelized onions and add a second patty to it.

Anyway if you've ever been here you know there is nothing around the mall but fast food. That's really not what I wanted. I was having so much trouble deciding we just ended up in the food court. You could smell the cheese steaks down the hall and it smelled really good. Good enough to coax me into a closer look. Upon a closer look the two guys running the shop were so friendly I was like yeah I'll do it. Only two guys doing door dash deliveries and live people in the food court. So one guy is taking orders then running back to cook. Then he was apologetic about the wait. I'm like take your time man! They were rocking it out. So then we get our food and it's really excellent. None of it is greasy. I got gourmet fries and a philly chicken cheesesteak. Fries weren't deep fried and greasy. Only complaint- worst ketchup receptacle at any restaurant ever. There is no way to hold it and keep the ketchup inside. Next time I come to a movie here I'll do it again.
