The service at Blondie is outstanding, and the staff always make sure everyone feels welcome, respected, and has a great experience. There was one instance where another customer made a very disrespectful comment, and the waitress handled it immediately. She shut it down right away and came over to sincerely apologize to our table, which showed how much they care about creating a comfortable and respectful environment for everyone. Blondie's food, drinks, and atmosphere is 10/10. I also love when they have a DJ there because the music is great! read more

A perfectly fine, and VERY LOUD bar with a diverse menu that's a notch above typical bar food, with a little something for every taste. I wouldn't say anything is particularly special, but nothing we've tried is terribly disappointing either. The menu titles towards guilty pleasure-type food, like Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles. Plates are large and busy and crowd-pleasing. If you order a salad here, make sure to ask that it be lightly dressed. The ambience and service are both good but diminished because you must shout to be heard by the person next to you. read more

HOW IS THIS PLACE SO BUSY?! I really wanted to love it. The website looked great, and Sunday brunch feels like something that's honestly hard to mess up -- so maybe that's part of why it was so disappointing. It was kind of a disaster. And yet... it was packed? The food just wasn't good. Part of our order came out wrong (fine, it happens), but when the correct dishes arrived, they were cold. One plate had avocado purée that had already turned brown. The croissants were dense like dinner rolls. The short rib burrito had zero flavor. Truly zero. Breakfast potatoes were cold. Poached egg was seriously under poached. Server offered us utensils 15 minutes after our dishes arrived (we already asked someone else). Okay but the absolute worst part? The mimosas were completely flat. FLAT. How do you mess up bubbles? Apparently by having Prosecco on tap with a draft system that isn't up to par. It's hard to recover from lifeless champagne at brunch. The whole experience felt like a place that really wants to be a great city spot but hasn't figured out how to execute and gets by on decor, loud music, and literally nowhere else to go for a good Sunday brunch in Manayunk. The bartenders weren't particularly friendly -- with one exception: one noticed merch (from a somewhat obscure video game) my friend was wearing and bought him a shot, which was honestly the highlight of the afternoon. read more

Went for brunch. Restaurant was half full. We were seated at 11am and ordered drinks. My companion ordered an Irish coffee. When it came it was a cup of luke warm coffee with the Irish whiskey on the side. She had to make the drink herself. When we asked the waiter why, he said it was because the coffee is in one area and the liquor in another- um what? We ordered our food around 11:15. Then we asked for a top up on our coffees. We were told that wasn't possible but the waiter could bring us a whole new cup of coffee. Turns out this wasn't true. Other tables just got refills from a carafe. It took until past noon to get our food, despite the fact that the table next to us sat after us and was already eating. When my food came out the eggs were ice cold. One of my companions ordered a salmon sandwich that said it came with aioli and avocado but neither appeared on her sandwich. When I sent my eggs back, we asked about the avocado and were told they were out- could they have let us know? And the aioli? Well the waiter said most people asked for it on the side and my friend hadn't so he assumed she didn't want it. At this point I asked for the manager. I explained everything and he agreed this was not ok. I got my eggs finally. The manager topped off our coffees from the carafe and wouldn't you know it-ice cold. Eventually we gave up on having a decent meal and asked for the check. The manager did comp us all the food so our bill was just the drinks. We paid with cash. The table next to us was also paying with a card at the same time. The waiter managed to bring them their check for signature but still no change for us. It took many more minutes. Along the way, servers stood around looking at their phones. One server leaning against the wall managed to turn out all the lights in the restaurant. This was a comedy of errors. Based on previous reviews, it is their normal modus operandi, despite the manager telling me otherwise. My advice-don't go. If the owners cared at all they would re-train everyone who works there. read more

Came here last month for brunch with my family and we were very happy with our meals. Came back the next day for restaurant week and loved the entrees. Service was great and the interior design was very nice and welcoming. Definitely get the garlic honey salmon because I still think about it and how delicious it was. Mocktails were great that my 10 yr old daughter had one too. Not pictured was the cinnamon roll pancakes and she gave them a thumbs up. Will definitely be going back. read more

I have taken a star off because the last two times I've come (mid September and end of November), there has been no one to greet me at the host stand and everyone else just walks around. I think it's taken about 5 minutes before someone comes. They need to work on that. Food has been great, aside from the apple pie French toast. I was expecting better bread, like a brioche, but it was basic bread and therefore did not hit as I thought it would. Also, I love my burgers well done and didn't think I would have to ask for a smash burger to be prepared as such. It was too much pink on the inside for me & the taste, to me, was not pleasant at all . The ambiance is immaculate. Every time, I am always taking pictures of the interior. The bar is a beautiful green, the dining room is elegant with the industrial look, and the back is so pretty in pink. And shout out to Shaniya--she was a great waitress. read more

We were there less than an hour ago for dinner The music was too loud and we asked to have it turned down. They turned it down only to turn it back up less than 10 minutes later. There were 4 of us who got the overcooked French fries with our smashburgers. We will not be returning. read more

We came here for our friends surprise bday party and it was fun! The interior was gorgeous and we got a nice sized table along the wall on the far side of the bar for 9 people. We started with drinks and I loved the seasonal white cosmo drink! Then we got a bunch of appetizers to share - my favs were the crab dip and the brussel sprouts. For our entree, me and my friend split the shrimp Caesar salad - they were so nice to even bring us our own portions on our own plates and they were good size for a half portion and it was delicious! I also had a wild request to get a margarita on the menu but use vodka instead - they did it and the drink was beautiful and amazing! I really liked Blondie and would definitely come back! read more

My friends and I tried this place after a busy day of fall festivities! The restaurant had plenty of seating and we were served almost immediately compared to nearby restaurants. We were also in a hurry to grab a bite and then head out. The menu looked like elevated classics. The price to food quality seemed mismatched. The food was way over priced for what you got. I ordered the burger wrapped in lettuce. And it was simply just that. They did not have gluten free bread alternatives. Ambiance was nice. Decor and cleanliness were top qualities. Parking can be difficult and pricey in manayunk. Probably wouldn't come back for dinner service! Maybe I'll try brunch next time! Tldr Food 3/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/59 read more

Blondie - Burger - lettuce wrapped - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I had Saturday Brunch here about a month ago, March 22, 2025 and here are my thoughts. Walking up to Blondie I saw the long line at the door. Things moved pretty quickly though. Many people were gathered and the mood was festive. After checking in, I was the first of my party to arrive so I took a spot at the bar and ordered a drink. The restaurant is cute. Multi level, multiple seating options, and chic decor, however, things took a downward turn for me from there. My party was seated on the third level. This "room" is reserved for private parties. Problem is, and I've encountered this before, it's was just a large empty room that exhibited absolutely none of the character and charm of the restaurant below. Half of the appeal of your dining out experience is ambiance. At this point in my life, I would only book a "private" room if it were truly something special. Otherwise I'd go somewhere else. And...as for "private" not at all. There were three parties up there. I was celebrating a birthday with a large group. There were 22 of us so with that said, I definitely have a big curve for error. But we were fully seated until around 2:45 pm and were not served food until 4:30pm. At this point I'd had more to drink than food, including the mimosa tower. It's volume and price tag is impressive but the scientific like beaker on steroids was less than classy. Almost every food item on the menu was represented at my table. I had the crab omelette. Lackluster, it needed a sauce. I had some of the Parmesan Chicken wings and those I would have again. Certainly willing to visit again in a much smaller group to get better feel for service and the pancakes looked amazing so I would go with those. read more

My friends and I made a reservation on a Saturday night for dinner and when we arrived we were a bit early so the owner offered us champagne which was very nice of them. The interior is super cute and modern and there's a bunch of open seating and two bar areas from what I remember seeing. The service was also very quick and attentive. Our server Shawn did a good job of recommending some dishes as well as getting everything to us in a timely and friendly manner. The food was alright. The crab dip had a lot of meat and the Brussels sprouts were well seasoned and crispy. I personally could not eat my tacos. They were very salty and not my favorite but overall everything was good I think I just picked a bad dish and would be willing to go back and try other entrees instead. I really enjoyed my blondie cocktail though because it was fruity but not too sweet! read more

The food was honestly not that good. I got their fried chicken sandwich and the chicken was incredibly dry and not seasoned at all. The rest of the sandwich was dry as well and did not have enough sauce. The fries I had were soggy unfortunately. I wish I had ordered something else. The inside of the restaurant is very cute I will say. I sat at the front by the windows and there were lots of flies :( read more

Blondie atmosphere and service were phenomenal. Just 4 of us came in with a reservation at 7pm and were sat right away. All the cocktails were super good. I liked the Mariposa the best. We got the summer guac and salsa for apps which were really fresh and yummy. For mains the table ordered the burger (which ended up being well done not medium rare), the steak frites which was more medium rare than medium, the shrimp and crab pasta, and the chicken skewers. Everything was super tasty and came out in a timely fashion. It was a friends birthday so we ordered the tres leches cake for her and they brought it with a candle and a round of champagne on them which was a sweet touch. Overall, great spot for dinner or drinks in Manayunk. read more

Very cute bar. We went there during a Saturday evening but the music was so loud we left immediately. during Sunday afternoon it was cute. The drinks were nice.

Blondie has a great ambiance. The decor makes you feel like it's the perfect aesthetic for special occasions. I went today around 2:00pm for their brunch menu that ends at 4pm on Saturdays. The restaurant is pretty busy so when I entered there was no one to greet you at the door. Another guest was in front of me who had a reservation and was waiting to be seated. Shortly after arriving someone came to seat us. I waited for around 5-10 minutes before asking about who my server was and that's when the person who attended to me noticed I didn't have water and got me a pitcher. Unfortunately the rim of the pitcher was dirty in my opinion. There were obvious stains on it all around the rim but I was told it was the residue of the water because the pitcher was sitting there. To me it was odd and I felt like cleanliness could be better so I told them I didn't want the pitcher so the person who was attending put the water directly into my glass instead of from the pitcher. I waited 5-10 more minutes for my server to finally come to the table to take my order and she brought the dirty pitcher back to my table and I explained to her I didn't want it because of the cleanliness. I also felt like there was a smell coming from the cup as I was drinking the water. I think the fact the cups like the pitchers are also sitting there until it's used by a guests who is seated is the issue. Depending how long in between it's being washed dust etc. probably accumulate. They also have a guest WiFi but when I asked for the password I was told they couldn't provide the password and she would ask her manager about it but the manager never came. Besides the cleanliness and service the food actually came quickly given how busy the restaurant is. I probably got the food within 15-20 minutes which was great. The food was also good! I enjoyed the Salmon B.A.L.T with fries for $23. I think overall the service and cleanliness at Blondie could be better and I hope they try to consider how the culture and service of the restaurant could be more hospitable. read more

I took a friend here for her birthday last Saturday for brunch. She made reservations for us because that area is usually busy on the weekends. Service was prompt until it came time for our food to come out. No kidding, we literally waited 45 mins for French toast, eggs, bacon and an omelette. Not to mention the food was room temperature even after I mentioned to the waitress "please don't let my food be cold after waiting this long." She apologized and said they got hit and were backed up in the kitchen but I looked around and most of the tables were empty. If the food would have warm or hot they would've definitely received 4 stars but you don't serve anyone room temp food and expect a tip. I did tip her $10 even though my friend thought I should do less because of the food. But I figured maybe it's the cooks fault. I won't be going back. read more

Chose this place to have my birthday dinner, it's always packed and I needed to know why ?? & if legitimately packed due to good food was my hope.Overall great experience and very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and music, really cute. They have a happy hour which I may revisit. The food was tasty. I ordered 2 appetizers and a main entrée. Meatballs, Chicken Dumplings and main course was the Braised Short Ribs with mashed. The Meatballs were slightly overcooked /dry. The Chicken Dumplings were OK, I enjoyed them and would reorder maybe. I also enjoyed the toasted bread that came along with the Meatballs. For the main course I requested double mashed as I don't eat Broccoli. My plate came out with Broccoli, sent back. I have read several reviews stating on how flavorful this dish is. It was tasty but could have used more flavor. The rib was tender. My plate was on the luke warm side and the potatoes needed more butter, salt pepper etc. Which is not on the table. I requested butter, it came to my table rock solid and that isn't good with not so hot potatoes but I made it work. I also ordered 2 Far East Margaritas.. one was to be at regular price and 2nd was to be via the happy hour menu, bill came and I was charged full price for both. I questioned it and got a oh my bad. Reservation was made on Open Table for my Birthday. No birthday acknowledgement like most restaurants do. Check paid dinner complete. No doggie bag taken. read more

We had a Sunday brunch here after my first Tough Mudder, and the food and service made up for the copious amount of pain I was in. This would have gotten four stars, but the ceiling tiles started to leak and got onto our cloths :( This service was apologetic, and the food came out super-fast. Hope to stop by here again and give this another go! read more

While there are a lot of brunch restaurants in the Main Street of Manayunk, this one in particular really stands out. The place has a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor. It also has a very impressive brunch list menu. The place is popular for their coffee buckets. I tried one out but to be honest, I feel like it is just a novelty I would never get again. It is definitely entirely way too much coffee for one person to undertake alone. It also sucks that these buckets can't be split because of the fixings associated with the beverages. These buckets are quite creative. They had a pumpkin type coffee that was put in a jack-o-lantern face bucket. The banana bread bucket we got had a cold coffee brew with foam and banana chips. Between two people, we couldn't even finish half this bucket. We also had to share it with a straw which was kind of annoying. For the entree, I ended up getting a crab omelette. I really liked the lumps of crab with the omelette. I also liked the arugula salad with its delicious dressing. The home fries were really crispy which made it a nice treat. The waitress definitely checked up on us a lot. read more

I came here for a brunch birthday party a few months ago and I ended up becoming a regular. I seriously love this place i come here for brunch maybe once a week. The food is amazing atmosphere is awesome service is great, rather you're at a table or the bar. Very clean inside and out. If you brunch here you will not be sorry I recommend ordering the mimosas picture definitely worth the money. My favorite items i order allot is the apple pie French toast and the crab omelette, it comes with some fresh arugula with a vinaigrette dressing that is out of This world. This is definitely one of my hang out spots to meet with my girls. We love it here! Reservations recommend lol read more

Shawn- excellent personality, handsome and super understanding and attentive to our needs and wants. The decor was beautiful! The gold molding to the accents of blondie- phenomenal and very cute. The food was just what I thought it would be- bomb as f. I started off with the garlic wings and they were delicious. Perfectly plump and crispy. Then for my meal I had the shrimp and grits- interesting texture of the grits but overall a good tasting meal. My homegirl ordered the pancake flight - they were sweet and tasty and the bananas were definitely fresh. We ordered a pitcher of cranberry orange mimosas and they were delicious! I'll definitely be back for another brunch dish and some dinner! read more

Similar to another review, I've always walked by and wanted to try Blondie because the ambiance and decor are so charming, but the service is a major let down and the food is too average to make up for it. Five of us went on a Monday night and there were maybe 5 other tables filled in the whole restaurant (bad sign). It's HUGE inside. I don't understand how they can afford their rent... Our server seemed new or just incredible distracted. Our drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Our appetizers came another 15 minutes after that. Our entrees another 40 minutes after that, which they brought out an incorrect entree. He mistook tacos from crab cakes? We had to flag a different server down once we were done eating because he never came to check on us. Our drinks and appetizers (the deviled eggs, egg rolls and chicken skewers) were very good but the entrees were underwhelming. Which is very surprising because for dinner there are only like 8 entrees to choose from so you'd assume they are highly curated. My advice is to come for drinks and appetizers and prepare to spend 3 hours here. read more

We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday here! The upstairs area is cozy and the overall vibe feels a bit fancy yet chill. It was a perfect balance for our mixed age group. I was intrigued by the espresso martini tree and had zero regrets although I would suggest dubbing the alcohol for tequila. Our server was super sweet and we had great treatment when we moved to the bar. I shared a couple of appetizers as my meal and enjoyed it. Ask for extra bread if you go for a dip! read more

Our family ate at Blondie a few weeks ago. The experience was HORRIBLE. That evening my son got really bad food poisoning. The next day he had to be hospitalized and was there for a week. The doctors said it was a bacteria from the chicken he had at the restaurant. We called the restaurant to alert them and the manager refused to call us back. We tried to reach him numerous times and he stonewalled us. We then called the Philadelphia Department of Public Health and found out the Blondie had numerous health code violations including insects in the kitchen, random food debris and standing water. I wonder just how many people have gotten sick from eating here. I would steer clear of this establishment if you know what's good for you. read more

The service was really great. Thank you so much to Izzy and the runners for giving such attention to detail to our meal and brunch. The complimentary champagne was a lovely touch. The meal itself was tasty and but they were limited on what was available. Obviously they get busy during brunch and they just run out of things. That's ok. The cocktails were.... Too darn good. But then again, for the folks who decided to drink a pitcher of mimosas... May the odds be in your favor! Elise, their social media content creator, was adorable! She really created a nice vibe for those who wanted pictures or videos of the day. It suits their dynamic of group fun. All in all, we had a blast. I can see why this is a local dining staple. We will be back again! (IYKYK as of this post STREET parking on Sundays is free.) read more

As I hear my husband vomit shortly after eating there , that explains how terrible the food is. He just had the smash burger which had 2 hamburger patties. He said the only thing good about it was the bread. . I had the salmon entree which was dry with very little flavor. It may have been sitting under the heat lamp for too long since it took a long time for them to serve it. Service was slow and we didn't get our drinks until after the appetizer. The decor is nice but not the service or quality of food. Never again. read more

The apricot siracha sauce on the wings could be thicker to hold onto the wings better and the short rib in the burrito should come out of the oven sooner, so when rolled into the wrap it doesn't dry out. Service wise Gina was wonderful and our beverages were great. The ambiance was a bit loud overall. Definitely could have reduced the bass on the music and toned the whole level down a notch. Everything else was great. The place is cute. read more

Finally had a chance to check out Blondie with a friend today. The ambiance and decor are very IG worthy, it's boozing brunch approved, and the food and service were great. It was really popular today so service was a little slow but I had no complaints about the food. I had the peaches and cream French toast *chefs kiss* P.S. - we ordered the apple fritters to try mainly because we couldn't find pictures of them anywhere.
