    I came in with some friends one late afternoon/early evening, and it was a really fun spot. Not…read moreall that big inside, but a really friendly vibe inside, very small town like with some historic charm with all the decorations. There's a strange-looking critter up top along with just random stuff riddled around the bar, and a bunch of popular beers on tap. All the staff were really friendly (shout out to Kevin!), and they were on top of keeping drinks filled. I also ordered some food - a double smash burger and some fries. Both were really tasty - that burger was really juicy! Great fixings on that burger, but it's a bit on the small side, so if hungry, probably a good idea to order the extra patty. Fries were really good too. They take cash or card, and they hold on to your card in a cup near the register until you close out - not what I've usually seen, but makes sense, I suppose. I'd return for another hangout with the guys! Kevin, come toss some discs with us!

While a change in ownership occurred recently, the new team has wisely kept the "time capsule" vibe intact--think dark wood, dim lighting, and a total lack of pretension. The kitchen doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's exactly why people love it. The Burgers: Often cited as some of the best in the area, these are classic, juicy bar burgers. They recently introduced a "smash burger" style that has been winning over even the most stubborn regulars. The Cheesesteaks: You won't find any touristy gimmicks here. These are authentic, local-style cheesesteaks--perfectly chopped meat, plenty of cheese, and served on a roll that actually holds up to the grease. This is a Philly sports bar to its core. The walls are adorned with years of sports memorabilia, and when the Eagles are playing, the atmosphere is electric. It's the neighborhood's unofficial living room for Sunday games. You'll find multi-generational fans shouting at the TVs, cold domestic drafts in hand, and a level of camaraderie that you only get in a place that's been around for 90+ years.

    Came back for second time because this place is so good!…read more They have so many different fusion dishes that are delicious! Their Brussel sprouts and elote salad are so delicious! I was so obsessed with the elote salad I attempted to make it myself but it never tasted quite like this places! The service is also very good and everyone is so nice

    I drive by this place just about everyday and decided to give it a try... I made a reservation for…read moremy nephew and I, which I decided to move up and the restaurant obliged. When you first walk in the restaurant/bar area is dark; I selected patio seating and was glad that I did because it was much brighter on the patio - also, it is heated but I was still a little chilly but not uncomfortable. For a starter, we had the crab dip - this was good; it was cheesy and had good hints of crab meat; our entrees were Sautéed Salmon and Lamb Birria Ramen - the presentation of both dishes was good but the flavor was underwhelming for me (and my nephew) and even though I asked for my salmon to be cooked well, it was slightly undercooked... We did enjoy our drinks - he had a Millionaire Capri Sun and I had You Only Live Twice. If I return, it will only be for appetizers and drinks. The service was really good and the overall atmosphere was good also.
