The inside has a great cozy vibe, feeling like a small, quaint pub where you just want to settle in and stay awhile, which in fact we did. We started our meal with two incredible appetizers. First, we built an amazing cheese and ham charcuterie board, choosing 5 different cheeses that were all fantastic. We also ordered the Whipped Ricotta, which was out-of-this-world delicious. The maple syrup drizzle was a perfect touch, and it paired beautifully with the pumpkin seed puree and grilled bread. For my main course, I went with the Beer-Battered Fish & Chips. The fish was cooked absolutely perfectly, crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and just super tasty overall. The portion was pretty amazing too. It came served with parmesan chips, malt mayo, malt vinegar, and tartar sauce, which completed the dish perfectly. Even though I was stuffed, I couldn't resist dessert. The cinnamon beignets were light, fluffy, and the absolute perfect ending to a phenomenal meal. The other component I'll mention is there were four of us dining and every single one of us thought the food was just terrific! Not a single complaint! I should also mention the service was attentive and pleasant. Society Hill has a lot of dining options, but this place completely stands out. I'd definitely go back! Highly recommend!

Due to the rain, we ducked into Bridget Foy's and what an excellent choice! It was Sunday and they offered a brunch menu. My husband ordered the Chicken and Waffles and definitely enjoyed it because I didn't get to try a bite. I got the chicken parm sandwich with a side salad. The sandwich was so tasty! Perfectly flavored and I loved the bread with the soft insides and crunchy crust. Mmm...I still think about this sandwich sometimes. I also got a espresso martini because...brunch :) We sat at the bar and the bartenders are super friendly. It looks like a place frequented by locals because many patrons came by the say hi to the bartenders and strike up a conversation. It was the perfect meal to end our trip to Philadelphia!

It's perfect for couples, families, kids, first dates, or weekend brunch. The Gritz is a small, unpretentious, and moderately priced neighborhood restaurant with a great bar. It's more cocktail than beer oriented, although there are plenty of choices for suds lovers, too, and most of the brands are local. Try the Pork Italiano - one of the best sandwiches I've ever had - and their sweet and sour brisket platter with potato croquettes is sublime. Really fine fries as well. Great burgers, salads, crab cakes. It's all good! I noted that the price range was $20 to $30 per person, but my wife and I have gotten out of there for $44 with a beer before tip. Cheap in Philly these days, especially for such high quality food. Service is quick and friendly and the server never asks if you've dined there before. AND on most third Saturdays of the month, starting at 8:15pm the Philly Musical Achievers hold their Open Mike night! Performers from all over give their all to entertain Gritz patrons and there are singers, songwriters, and musicians of all kinds. Sometimes even a poet or comic will show up and the singalongs are legend. It's a hoot and a blast! OPEN 10AM TO 2AM. Brunch on weekends

They had a staircase you would enter to get to the bar. Then they had a private room with a bar that hosted this murder mystery. We started with some bread that was basic and not that good and an average salad. I ended up getting a chicken parmesan. It was pretty tasty. I really liked how it wasn't too saucy. The service was pretty well organized with how busy the murder mystery was. The strawberry cheesecake blew my mind. I highly suggest getting it. It was a great dessert to end our night. The strawberry drizzle on the cheesecake wasn't too sweet. It tasted like the perfect amount of strawberry compote.

When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

Their sides of tots and fries are incredible, perfectly seasoned and crispy. The burgers are smash-style so you have the option to go for a single or double.

They've got the takeout game done right with packaging and it automatically recommends you put sauces and dips on the side so everything stays fresh.

Second, everyone knows about Roxanne's insanely delicious and creative prix fix menus, but did you know they now have a la carte lunch (and dinner) menus? I recently scored a lunch reservation and ordered a classic combo of burger and fries, with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Roxanne can make the tasty inventive dishes, but can they make hometown faves like this? Yes. Yes they can. The juicy well-seasoned burger, pillow soft homemade sesame bun, secret sauce, and onion would have been enough, but the unmelted, room temp red rock cheese gave the burger a kick in the pants that make this a contender for best burger in Philly. The curly fries would put Arby's to shame. They are thicker, crispier, longer, and softer inside. Lastly, it may seem odd to order dessert after lunch. But, if you are at Roxanne, you could be charged with a crime if you leave without it. I went with the American classic of strawberry shortcake since it's practically a requirement on 4th of July and this is our 250th birthday as well! I think the photo explains itself. Obscenely delicious and, yes, I ate it all. Slowly. So, put Roxanne on the top of your list for a Philly lunch stop, and order the dessert too! You won't regret it.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!
