I have been to the saloon many times. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are great. Their wings are fantastic. You can tell they really take a lot of pride in their food. read more

Different Cheesesteak #1239. SHOCKING!! Walking to Billy's, it was like a ghost town. Open Billy's door, everyone was in Billy's. I got a cheesesteak with fried onions. When I saw my cheesesteak, I was concerned (sans the 2 pickles. I love side pickles). When I ate my cheesesteak, I was happy. Somehow the average roll, unexciting meat, and not many onions blended together very nicely. Fun neighborhood bar. Crew/rowing dominated decor. A Diverse crowd, including a young family, two guys discussing fantasy football, Theo, and possibly a Tinder date. I made good on giving my Cheesey shirt to the first person who told me they liked it. I just looked at my receipt. $13, you know I love that. Cash only. read more

If you are in the area it is a solid spot for grubs. The wings were properly fried hard for me which is my preference. The salad was basic basic, but honestly I just wanted an excuse to eat all the wings. I do get them naked with sauce on the side to maintain crispness. Excuse the light skinned color, don't count that against them. Irish saloon says it all. Dark with a ton of noise and people. Nothing spectacular, nothing to write home about but still late night eating with fast service is a good thing to have. read more

Not sure if the Irish Saloon is a cross-cultural collaboration, but nevertheless their greasy burgers and ample amount of Bon Jovi made this Jersey boy feel right at home read more

Billy Murphy's is the perfect neighbor bar/tavern. It has the most inviting feeling, decorated with string lights, local art and photos are hung on the walls. It is very wholesome to see and experience the bonds some locals have created with the bartenders/servers. Everyone is always friendly and polite. The service is quick. They have specials every week! Sundays & Wednesdays are 50 cent wings. Mondays are half off chicken sandwiches & Tuesdays are half off burgers. I definitely recommend getting fries to share. Even a small size is sufficient to share amongst 3-4 people. The aioli sauce is perfectly creamy and acidic. My personal favorite burger is the Big Mic, which tastes way better than a Big Mac. The patty is always huge and juicy and really creates a harmonious bite with all the vegetables. The portions for everything are super generous. The turf burger is super indulgent and delicious too. Definitely can't wait to come back and try the other specials! read more

A go-to "dive" bar in the East Falls neighborhood. This bar is a staple in the community and the food is great! DONT sleep on their cheesesteak - don't tell any of the big names but it may be one of the best in the area. Fries are hand cut and required any time we dine. Great beer selection and weekly food specials. 50 cent wings!!! It's a small bar so sometimes it's only 1 or 2 people working but even so, we've always had good service. Heads up: CASH ONLY but there is an ATM on site. read more

I've only been there a few times, but usually had a hamburger and fries. These are excellent, and a real place to get comfort food. Comfortable small environment. Service is fine. Friendly people. read more

We were looking for some place to get a late lunch - so many other places that claimed to be open weren't - so we stopped in here on a lark, not knowing what to expect. It does have an almost raffish, dive-bar appearance, but is obviously a well-regarded neighborhood institution. The beer list was more than adequate, and although we certainly didn't expect it - the food was truly excellent. My Deputy Yelper pronounced the Turf Burger the best she's had. I took a chance on the Veggie Burger, with added cheese, and was quite pleased. The small sweet potato side-order rounded things out excellently. For beers, they had draft Yards Pale Ale and Warsteiner Octoberfest, and both pleased us greatly. Our server, who was also the bar tender, was very attentive, and is possessed of more than adequate conversational skills. She made us feel completely welcome as first-timers. Highly recommended. There were a few patrons at the bar at mid-afternoon, but I bet the place is mostly packed in the evening. Maybe aim for an early arrival? read more

CASH ONLY! This local watering hole has awesome weekday food specials and an amble assortment of tvs to watch the big game. Beers flow a plenty and service is friendly. Minimal parking around but it's built out as the bar you can walk to! read more

I just called to ask if they did takeout. The woman who answered said yes, so I asked if they could make an Italian hoagie. She quickly said they don't make that one and told me to check the menu online, then abruptly hung up. The call barely lasted 15 seconds. The frustrating part is I had already spent 20 minutes trying to find their menu online before calling. They don't have a website, and there's no menu on Yelp. I found one posted to their Facebook from 7 years ago, so maybe it's still accurate? I had a backup order ready based on that, but she didn't give me a chance to ask. I've never felt the need to leave a negative review before, but this rubbed me the wrong way. I'm working just a few minutes away and just wanted to grab a hoagie, lady ‍ read more

Amazing wings and great pricing overall! Best buffalo wings I have ever had. Something about the sauce - depth of flavor. Will come back to try other menu items. I head the hog wings are great. read more

Awesome neighborhood bar with great food, beer. selection, and staff. Known for its burgers and wing night but don't sleep on the roast pork which is amazing. read more

However, if you're looking for awesome food and your typical dive bar, you have found your location, Don't skip a beat on ordering the wings, pig wings or the best Burger around. read more

Imagine an Irish dive bar with great food and a ton of personality! The turf burger really hit the spot with just enough spiciness. Went on a Tuesday ($5 burgers and trivia) and their quizzo was really popular! The guy running it was hilarious. Would go again just for the burger, but would stay for the games! read more

This place used to be our absolute FAVORITE. We had been many many times for drinks, trivia, wings and burgers. Our last visit we were enjoying some mozzarella sticks as our appetizer and saw a mouse running through the floor of the bar. My boyfriend didn't say anything to me at first and then we both saw it again running around. We ended up canceling our entrees, paying and leaving right away. I'm so sad because this was our local spot read more

5 stars for this corner dive bar. Stoped by on a Saturday around 1 and wasn't sure if it was open. But the door was unlocked and it was much busier than I expected. A lot of people there watching the 76ers play. We opted to sit outside and our bartender/server took our order. My friend lives around the corner so we walked but there was some street parking nearby. We came her specifically for the burgers. I was told they were good and was happy when I saw "hand formed patty" right at the top of the burger section. We both ordered medium and got a side of fries and a couple cokes. The fries come with some special sauce, maybe a mix of mayo and ketchup with some other goodies, I'm not sure but it was good. The cokes were also great, plenty of syrup, sweet, cold, and delicious. The burgers came on nice buns and looked fabulous. The first bite was absolutely dreamy, perfect medium, gooey melty cheese, a little juice squeezing out. Totally exceeded my expectations, it was perfect finish to end. Really likes this place and can't wait to get back. Nice service, friendly patrons, and killer burgers! Check it out if you get a chance. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night...ended up back here with all our friends for 50¢ wings the following Wednesday! Lovely dive bar, super kind wait staff and delicious food. We started out with wings - solid 8/10 wings coming from a buffalonian! Got an AMAZING turkey club with the best fresh turkey (not cold cut) and a chicken pesto sandwich. Can't recommend this place enough!!! read more

For a local watering hole this place has amazing food and a well balanced draft lineup. From burgers, to wings, to fries, never disappoints. My personal favorite is the chicken sandwich! The staff is also local and just brings that home feelings to the experience. It's cash only but also has an ATM so be prepared when you order. From the wood paneling to the leg lamp that'll be having you recite "fragile-- must be Italian", you'll find yourself returning over and over again. read more

Dive bar alert The beers on tap are a nice list. Got the chipotle steak sandwich which was great. The pork wings are good but a bit salty read more

Great dive bar! Located on a discreet corner. Bill Murphy's is a neighborhood place! The fish tacos are my favorite from the menu. Sweet potato fries with a side of cinnamon sauce are a must. The only downside is the slow service for outside seating. Recommend heading over! read more

Billy Murphy's Irish Saloon - Sweet Potato Fries - Burgers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great local bar. Bartenders are always friendly and if you come here fairly often they will remember not only your name but your drink choice. Kate is always great and good to nice to catch up with. Prices are very good and you can drink here all night or for a while and not get a huge bill. Food is always solid and atmosphere is comfortable with an eclectic and diverse crowd from locals, college students to people stopping in after work day. Mike the owner is always friendly and connected to the locals and his regular customers. Quizzo is fun and can get pretty busy. During Covid they did a great job at take out and staying available to for business. read more

Want to feel like you belong even if it isn't your hometown? Go to Billy Murphy's Irish Saloon. The staff is so friendly and happy to have you there. Even the others sitting at the bar greet you and make you feel at home. This is perhaps classified as a dive bar but any time that I am in East Falls, I am going back. read more

The reviews are right! Great food, great beer, great service, great music. I got the burger with bacon jam and blue cheese. It was delicious. Washed it down with a Guinness as 90s music filled the air. Excellent. read more

So I want to preface by saying I'm a sucker for a dive bar with good food and Billy Murphy's is exactly that. It's cash only so just beware of that before you go! My fiancé and I decided to visit one day after getting a recommendation from a friend. This is definitely the kind of place that has a lot of regulars but despite not being regulars, we felt welcome! The bartender was nice and very attentive to us. Also, the food was great. I highly recommend the buffalo chicken cheesesteak, it is so freaking good. The cheese curds were delicious as well. Billy Murphy's is the perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat and drinks in a comfortable setting, for a good price. You might see me there if you decide to go. read more

A dive bar that plays great 90's music, serves surprisingly good food (burgers and wings), and actually has an impressive beer selection is a national treasure. And make no mistake about it -- this is a dive bar complete with the usual array of locals, stained paper menus, gritty neighborhood, and, shall we say "understated" décor. But this is a happy bar with a happy bartender and I spent 4 joyous hours at Billy Murphy's on a Monday evening. In the words of Gen. MacArthur, "I shall return." read more

Never had a bad meal there ever on Mondays. You can get an array of amazing chicken sandwiches from a nice grilled chicken sandwich all the way up to a Chick-fil-A on steroids fried chicken breast with a somewhat hot chipotle sauce, cheese and hot peppers incredibly good they also have a Chicken turf sandwich which is a chicken breast with bacon absolutely delicious. The rolls are very good too. They're not overwhelming and on Tuesdays. I forgot to mention the chicken sandwiches are seven dollars Monday only and Tuesday is burger day and they are seven dollars. My favorite is their take on a big Mac Which is high quality Angus grass sirloin huge with shredded lettuce cheese and their big Mac sauce which is much better than McDonald's. The burgers are extremely high end it would be $20 -25 in Center city or more. I highly recommend this little local gem read more

Still knocking it out of the park. Great food and specials. sitting on the porch and watching the people parade is the best. An iconic friendly vibe. Solid drink and craft beer and local IPAs. Well worth repeated trips! read more

This is my favorite watering hole in the whole wide world! I have been going here since I moved to Philly in 2011. Mike and his staff have always been nice. Great food (wings, burgers, tacos), beers, service, and overall environment. I still go here with my wife and friends to celebrate the important events in my life. read more

Great local place. Feels like your neighborhood pub (because it is) and had the best wings in the city. I love living down the street from this place read more

Perfect place for a hefty American bar-food meal. My burger had a generous helping of beef and toppings with a good bun that wasn't overly greasy. Fries were fresh and tasty. Mine were slightly soggy but I blame that on the delivery. My order: Turf Burger, Handcut Fries, Sweet Potato Fries Service: Fast, no complaints read more

Good service. Great burgers at a fair price. Tuesday $5.00 burgers and fries special.

My boyfriend and I live around the corner and I was craving wings. Plenty of outdoor seating on a quiet street. We happened to come on quizzo night, so that was extra entertainment right there! I got the frozen rose. It was definitely weird, but I kinda liked it! Not sweet at all. It was definitely just frozen rose. Haha. We got the hot wings and burgers for $5 burger night. I thought the sauce was a touch too sweet, but the wings were crispy and otherwise very delicious. I wasn't expecting to order a burger but I figured might as well-- turns out it was one of the best burgers I've eaten in years. Super juicy and seasoned perfectly. I'll be back next week. Cash only. They give you the food in take out wrapping even if you're sitting at a table due to COVID, but that's fine with me. read more

The food was good I ordered the tuff chicken sandwich and two drink all under $40 the drinks were good the food was better as it should be. The music was not to loud I could have a conversation if I would have come with someone. The service was good the bartender was attentive but they did not over due it. Very chill and laid back I will be returning. read more

The best food and atmosphere! Enjoy a game, the jukebox and any of their menu specials. Mike and his team never disappoint!

Best burger I've had in a long time. It was one of those big, messy, delicious burgers that only a few places can manage to pull off. Hubs had the pig wings which were also yummy. Neither of us could have spicy tonight but the next time im here, im getting the wings. read more

I'm not gonna lie, when people invited me to this place I was not excited. I had never heard about it and it sounded/looked below average. However, I was surprised with a great experience. I got the fish tacos and they were solid. The thing I loved the most was the sweet potato fries and whatever dip the gave. It was the perfect combination! The only annoying thing about this place is that it's cash only. And on top of that their ATM machine was janky. Last but not least they had tv's all around to watch sports so that's always a plus. So grab some cash and friends and check it out. read more

Man... I was not expecting much out of this dive bar but boy was I wrong. I got an order of the mild-a-que pig wings. These come as an order of very meaty pig shank that are oven baked and then flash fried. The mild-a-que sauce was very good and flavorful. The meat on the bones was very tender and moist with a very light crisp as you bite into them. My fiancé also got the crab cake salad which was also very surprising. This crab cake reminded me of the crab cakes you get down in Maryland around the Chesapeake but are somehow in a small dive bar in Roxborough. Needless to say we will be back!! read more

Billy Murphy's Irish Saloon - Pig wings with mild and bbq sauce - Burgers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Earth-shatteringly good "turf" burger. The turf burger came on a thin, soft, and chewy brioche bun that yielded nicely to the beef. The beef patty was gargatuan in size (likely 8-10oz) and cooked to a perfect medium. I'd wager the meat was slightly on the lean side (I'd add maybe 5 percentage points of fat.) However, the beef tasted fresh and had a dense, but still crumbly and juicy, mouthfeel. The toppings were an explosive heap of flavors. There were crisp julienned onion strings that were savoury and slightly caramelized. There was lightly crunchy bacon that still had a bit of chew. There was deeply savoury and salty yellow American cheese (this is the only context where I think American is an appropriate choice.) There were lightly pickled and lightly charred jalapeño coins. Oozing over all these toppings was a creamy, goopy, flavor bomb of burger sauce (something like thosand island dressing). This burger was a perfect concatenation of flavors and textures. The soft and delicate bun. The crisp onions. The savoury and sweet dressing swimming with melted American cheese. The bite of the jalapeños crying through the fats. The oozy, juicy burger dripping jus as you caressed it between your lips. There are few things more enjoyable than discovering an excellent burger. read more
