**CASH ONLY** - Just a heads-up, this wasn't clearly posted anywhere that I saw, so I want to make sure it's the first thing you notice. I visited this spot because I'm a big fan of *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives* with Guy Fieri, and I was excited to try it out. The restaurant has a cool, laid-back vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus. We started with the honey hot baked wings. They had a great flavor and were fall-off-the-bone tender. That said, I wouldn't call them "jumbo" as described on the menu--they seemed more average in size. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was a bit disappointing. It resembled more of a chicken patty topped with sauce and cheese, rather than a traditional cutlet that fills the plate. The sauce was runny and on the sweeter side--not really my thing, though that's on me for not reading the menu more closely. The entrée only comes with *either* linguine marinara *or* a vegetable side, not both, which feels a bit stingy for the price. My girlfriend ordered the Eggplant Rigatoni, which was advertised as spicy but really wasn't. The portion size was also smaller than expected. I guess we went in with high hopes--I was expecting more of a "Nonna's kitchen in South Philly" kind of experience. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food didn't quite live up to the hype.

The ambience and music are very good. The waiter took my order very fast, which I appreciate. Food came out in 30 minutes though, but the food was pretty good.

We had a nice meal. The server was very nice. Definitely more of a bar than restaurant, but the pizza was good.

Last Friday April 15th was a beautiful spring day on Passyunk Avenue. My son was hungry and wanted a burger. My wife and I saw Stogie Joe's Tavern it looked welcoming so we gave it a try. The place isn't very big but I liked the the decor. The have sit down tables, decent music playing and a nice sit down bar. The place was a little more than half full but they had 3 waitress and a waiter (I feel he was an owner or manager). We placed our drink orders. I got a Long Island Iced Tea it was very good, my wife a Basil Mojito she said it was also very good, my son got a Shirley Temple, was there every a bad Shirley Temple? Of course not, he loved it. My son order a plain cheese burger with american cheese, my wife got the bacon cheese burger with fried onions. I saw they had Linguine with Crab Gravy and had to have it. We also ordered clams casino and a house salad that was very good. It had romaine, cucumbers, rosted peppers, sharp provolone, olives and Salami (small was big enough for 2) The entrees came but we had not gotten our clams casino or had our table received any bread or grated cheese, we did have hot pepper, which for me is a necessity when having Crab Gravy. Having ordered Linguine with Crab Gravy I expected and need bread to make sure I didn't leave any Crab Gravy in the bowl. My wife and son really enjoyed their burgers and lucky for me (as usual) my wife couldn't finish hers. I finished it for her, the burger was very good it had a nice grilled taste which I prefer over fried. My Linguine with Crab Gravy was very good but the portion was small for $19.95. Usually Pasta dishes are plentiful, a pound of Linguine is less than $2.00 in a grocery store and the fact that nothing came with the Linguine but the Crab Gravy, I was expecting a big portion. Like I said the Gravy was tasty just would have liked more for $19.95. The bread was good but the butter was cold and hard to spread. Not a big deal I just like when restaurants keep the butter at room temperature for easy spreading. The reason I give Stogie Joe's a 3 and not a 4 star is because the clams casino and the overall service. First we didn't get the clams casino till after our entrees and they are not on the shell. They are more breding and salt, they lack clams, bacon and peppers. If I had known they were not fresh clams on the shell I would not have ordered them. Stogie Joe's to us seemed like they are more friendly towards regular patrons than to people off the street as we where. I can't say they were rude but they weren't very attentive. My wife and I got our drinks right away but they forgot my son's drink and I had remind them, took awhile between drink order and taking our dinner order, had to ask for bread and grated cheese. No one asked us during or after how we enjoyed our meals. Look, it's South Philly so I wasn't expecting over the top friendly and I have had a lot worse service. Just would have been a better experience to have felt more welcomed and slightly faster service. All that being said I would recommend you give them a try because as far as food and drinks we enjoyed everything with the exception of the clams casino. Also, you may have a different experience with the friendliness and attentiveness of the service than we did. Ourselves, I would go again and order extra Gravy next time!

We've enjoyed the evolution of Heavy Metal Sausage since their early days, and it's been a fun…read morejourney to eat our way through! Sure, the deli-style offerings are excellent, from house-cured meats, charcuteries, butchery items, and local dairy and eggs, etc. The hot dogs are phenomenal, btw. Their charcuterie, combined with house made breads made from local, freshly-milled grains help make lunch there a treat, but the real magic for us has always been their trattoria dinners. We've gone to a trattoria dinner almost every month since they started-missing only twice-and it's always a fun adventure in seasonal ingredients, creative ideas, and excellent preparation. You'd rarely get the same thing twice, and we wouldn't know the menu until a few days before, so you'll definitely want to go with open-minded eaters. The space is tiny, seating on about 13 people for dinner, and even less for lunch, unless the weather is nice enough to sit outside, so expect to be cozy. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable about the items on the menu or in the case, so don't hesitate to ask about anything. Prices are fair, especially considering how much work goes into what they're doing, as well. Overall, Heavy Metal Sausage has become of of our go-to spots, and I admire their commitment to using only local ingredients and no processed sugars. It's a challenge that not everyone is willing to commit to. If you can go, definitely check it out, and if you can book a trattoria dinner, don't pass it up. Between the food, the people, and the fun atmosphere, it'll be a great experience!

Had a great lunch at Heavy Metal! Meat and potatoes option is a great meal! I also have become…read moreobsessed with their smoked turkey!
