    If you see me there just know....It's a WHOLE shin dig. The staff is cool. The food is good.The prices are reasonable. I would bring cash and make it easier for yourself. They have an ATM in the walkway, but I just can't see myself using it. It's a nice small bar for functions, but it can get busy in there. The parking is limited but plenty on the street. All in all it's a nice bar. P.s They are a chain too! Marty McGee's, Tumble Inn, and John Morton's all affiliate. I get the sense the staff might rotate between the bars, so expect good service everywhere.

    Great service, great tavern food. Had the hand carved Roast Beef Sammy sharp provolone and long hots. Beef was juicy, roll was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Tater Tots where crispy and on point. Highly recommend checking this place out.

    I have been driving by this place for 50 years. I am glad I finally stopped in. The bartender and cook loved talking about the new and improved John Morton's Tavern. The cheesesteak was tasty and had good ratios but small. The worst part; it was a Liscio roll but not up to the usual high quaity that I am use to. Overall good experience.

    What was this place called in 2000?

    It was called The Other Place, Prospectors, there was a place with a monster on the sign at one point? But before all that is was Pep's

We went in winter but I'm sure it's packed in summer. The Crab Cake Sandwich is a must. It's actually full of lump crab meat instead of just being a bunch of breading and filler. We also got the Loaded Cheese Fries and they were total comfort food. The portions are huge, Great service and we even forgot our cell phone and they kept it for us to pick up. Wonderful group of people.

    So we went here for lunch with friends. We asked for a table for 5.

If you want a four top and two top tables together to seat 5, you have to sit in the land-side dining room. Service after seating was pleasant and helpful. Menu items vary from bar food to upscale dining choices, old school to trendy. The standout here was the old school clams casino. The flavors were nicely balanced and enjoyable. We would order these again and it's probably the only thing that would bring us back. We tried the fried fish sandwich, roast beef dip sandwich and roast pork sandwiches. All of them were generously large and 1/2 sandwich was enough to satisfy. While the roll was delicious and the fillings plentiful, they just did not have enough flavor.

    I don't get paid to write reviews--I do it to be fair. I grew up around a family restaurant, so I…read moreknow how tough this business is. If I leave a bad review, there's a real reason. This is one of those times. With the inaugural cruise out of Philadelphia, hundreds of people were staying at the Clarion Hotel and planning to eat and drink here. This wasn't a surprise. They had weeks to prepare. They had one waitress. One bartender. We walked in before 5 PM, got told to wait, then told to seat ourselves. Found the only open table--it was dirty. Sat there for a while with no service and eventually just left. Never even got to try the food. Big crowd, guaranteed business, and they weren't ready. That's the bottom line.

    Started my vacation at the Clarion with their park and fly service. Decided to eat at the Red Fire…read moreAmerican Grill for convenience. So glad we did! Amazing burgers and fries cooked to perfection and very juicy (I like it rare and it was awesome). Great prices too for burgers with premium topping at no additional charge. Our wait staff, Erin and Coin were super engaged with all the patrons and exceptionally attentive...they made it a fun atmosphere and served our food/drinks at lightening speed. And my cocktail was beyond AMAZING! So if you're staying at the Clarion or are in the neighborhood don't hesitate to stop by and see Erin and Coin! You won't regret it!
