    My family and I just wrapped up an event here at Drexelbrook for the Theta Chapter, Chi Eta Phi Sorority and while I could certainly recommend this venue for any number of events I don't think I could co-sign on the food based on what was served today but let me discuss the property first. The grounds are nice and there is ample parking. The foyer is considerable and you could easily hold a cocktail reception in that space alone, add a few high tops, some benches and use the reception desk as a bar and your good. The grand ballroom just beyond the flank of mahogany doors is especially elegant. Champagne colored walls and sparkling chandeliers give the room a sumptuous glow. Added bonus, they also have a stage! Now the bad news. The salad was bland and seriously under dressed and the entree (if you could call it that) came on the smallest plate possible and tasted like...well nothing. The penne pasta fell apart into strands, there was very little broccoli and the so called wine sauce was thin as water. Hardly a trace of butter, wine or oregano as the description suggested. I hate to be so rough but really for the 60.00 price tag I was fed a meal I could easily duplicate with a bag of frozen broccoli, a cheap box of pasta, a chicken breast and water (and made me still would have been better). On the plus side the chicken was at least moist.

    The dance floor in the main ballroom. I loved that you could watch the videos of the song that was playing. The DJ was great.

    My fiancé and I went here for a wedding last September. Drexelbrook is located in the vicinity of the Drexelbrook apartments in Drexel Hill, just outside of Phillly. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is gorgeous. There's valet parking, but if you prefer to self-park, that's available as well. The entrance leads to a long, wide, elegantly decorated room. There was a bar set up in front of large doors leading to the main ballroom. The cocktail hour was held in this long room. Several white gloved servers walked around with savory hors d'oeuvres. Yummy! They were very friendly and greeted us with a smile and an appetizer. During the cocktail hour, there was a slideshow on the flat panel tv showing special moments of the bride and groom. The bathroom was very clean and elegant. When it was dinner time, we were ushered into the large ballroom. Though the ballroom was a big space, it still felt intimate. The dance floor was located towards the front of the room and the deejay booth. There were several round table for the guests and one long table in the front of the room for the bridal party. Such a beautiful, elegant space! Dinner was lovely; each course was carefully prepared and arranged nicely on the plate. The servers were friendly and knowledgable. The portions were huge and since I didn't finish my entree, they gave me a "to go" box. That's always a plus for me! For dessert, there was wedding cake and an ice cream sundae bar! Amazing! I spent most of the evening dancing away. Everyone had a great time, especially the bride and groom. This is a lovely place to have a wedding or special event. I am not sure about pricing or any of that but, there's great food and service, beautiful, elegant decor, and they allow outside vendors on their premises. It's not as "cookie cutter" as most banquet halls.

    Our snack at today's training...a homemade ice cream sandwich with a chocolate chip cookie outside!

    I've been here for a couple of events now - our faculty end-of-the-year luncheon and a training seminar this week. I have been pleased with the facilities - the room we are training in has beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceilings and a low, comfortable light. Whoever controls the temperature has a bit of a heavy hand when it comes to the AC! The food has also been really great! You wouldn't expect such a spread when coming to a three day training session, but they have provided a beautiful continental breakfast (bagels, muffins, yogurt, fruit, danish, coffee, OJ, tea) every morning, a three course lunch (including dessert) and an afternoon snack (see my picture). The staff is also very friendly. Great place for a conference/event.

    We had an amazing wedding there last week. Our wedding coordinator, Anthony, told us we were the first wedding being held at the newly renovated North Ballroom. The venue was very nicely decorated to correlate with our theme. The centerpiece and cake were included in our package hence one less task for us to do. We chose from the options and they made it happen. My cake cost a little extra due to the design I wanted. The food and service were excellent. Many of our guests were telling us how yummy the hor d'oeuvres and steak were. I also received feedbacks after our wedding from friends and families that this was the best venue they've ever been to Anthony, Bill and Raelyn made sure we had everything we could possibly need. It was really nice to plan out the event with Anthony and then seeing him throughout the reception as he made sure everything went as expected. Our Maitre d' & Captain constantly there to provide food and refreshments to my husband and I. They were really professional and organized. Everything were packed for us to bring to our cars. Nothing was left behind and we didn't feel overwhelmed at all. I'm glad we chose Drexelbrook because we genuinely felt taken care of.

    If you are looking for a beautiful, inclusive, and just down right spectacular wedding venue then look no further! Also if you want a professional team that makes all of your wedding dreams come true then just click on the link and call Kim. My husband and I had to choose a different venue 2-3 months before our wedding because of the COVID restrictions in Philadelphia at our original venue. And then when we had to push our date back because of COVID, Kim immediately came to the rescue to provide us with alternative dates. She always made herself available to us when something with another vendor (particularly our original florist) went wrong. We had our original florist (NOT through DREXELBROOK) ghost us 2 weeks before our new wedding date and Kim immediately got us in contact with their professional list of florists and we had a consultation and all of our stresses gone within a business day. Kim and the team at Drexelbrook truly made our wedding day the PERFECT day despite covid and the wedding planning hiccups. Our guests absolutely LOVED the food and the beautiful ballroom. All of the staff were professional and even made sure we ate during our big day. If you are looking for a beautiful ballroom and a professional and attentive staff during your wedding day, do yourself a favor and call KIM!!!

    Senior prom ordered...bbq chicken with potatoes and got chicken fingers with gravy! Gross! Very disappointing for a special event.

    Senior prom...ordered bbq chicken with potatoes; received chicken fingers with gravy. It was a pre-order before event and come to find out the facility ran out of chicken bbq during the event and substituted with this crappy meal. Very disappointing for a special evening.

    See all

    Have gotten sick from their chicken parm not once but twice. The food is normally cold, and bread was stale. Use to be good. Went downhill

    I stopped in this local restaurant due to family recommendations. I'm glad I did as I was not…read moredisappointed. The shrimp appetizer was amazing. Such huge shrimp and the sauce kicked butt. Loved it. Clams casino were so tasty!! My chicken parm was good Service was great and everyone as super friendly. Tons of parking. I'll be back

    I celebrated my birthday here. I had a party of 19 people. It was an excellent experience…read more I arrived at my reservation time. I waited approximately six minutes before I was escorted to my own event room (the patio). The table was set with the proper amount of place settings. The event room was clean and appeared well maintained. The server, Billy, arrived within two minutes of being seated. He introduced himself and brought menus. He also brought menus with specials. As I was a bit concerned about the standard menu not having enough variety of selections, the specials added items I did like. I had the swordfish special. All food and drink items arrived within a reasonable amount of time. As extra items were needed, they were also brought in a reasonable amount of time. Billy and the rest of the service staff that assisted were attentive, pleasant and friendly. The food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The prices were reasonable when compared to the quality and portion received. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend and return. Many of my guests are new fans of this restaurant because of this experience.
