Ahhh, how the city of Philadelphia's food scene continues to be extremely disappointing for me…read more There has not been one restaurant that I've tried where the food and/or combination with the experience has been a good once. I made a review recently on how I very much disliked Fitz on 4th and my anxiety was ramping up seeing this restaurant was barely two blocks away The food had no flavor and was extremely bland. I have never been in a restaurant and asked for the salt and pepper shakers (unless it's for eggs lol) and unfortunately that didn't help much at all here. The branzino dish was plated nicely, but had zero flavor. The orzo and corn was giving just got this box of orzo from Trader Joe's and threw some canned corn in the mix. Branzino? Very plain. The Cacio e pepe was also....flavorless. I love cacio e pepe and I was between that and the branzino at first, but knew if the if the sauce wasn't balanced perfectly between cheese and pepper, it would ruin the dish. We opted to have chicken added and as you can tell, it doesn't look like there was any chicken at all. It was a let down from the first bite of both dishes, for both my partner and I. Chicken liver mousse is one of my absolute favorite things ever, since a kid. Generally, I'm given a small pot/portion of the mousse to spread on a cracker or piece of bread myself. Here, they do things a little differently. They spread it on some bread topped with cherry agrodolce and pistachios. I thought this dish was pretty neat. My fav thing was although the bread was baked and crunchy on the exterior the middle was very soft and I thought this was a perfect balance. But, the skimped out of the chicken mousse and barely put any on the bread, especially the first piece of bread in the pic. The wine was nice, but it was not poured it front of us and I have zero clue what it is. We asked for something most similar to Merlot. Wouldn't try this place again & didn't think it was worth the cost. Side note, there's a surcharge for paying with a card AND they are currently participating in restaurant week.

Their drink menu is standard, but they rocked my world when I saw Xul PBnJ mixtape. Oh man, I don't know if they always have it, but when I went they did, and boy is that going to keep me coming back. Our server was super friendly, food came out quick, and the price was reasonable for a party of 3 who had a few too many PBnJ mixtapes.

Came here randomly because my spouse was craving burgers and we wanted to try something new. We…read moreleft quite disappointed unfortunately. We ordered their: (1) bacon burger (rating 3.0/5) (2) beef sandwich (rating 3.0/5) (3) fries (rating 3.5/5) Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad. The best way I can explain it is, their food is satisfactorily adequate. It tastes good enough, it's juicy enough, it's filling enough. It's what I would call "fine". The thing is, their burgers are TINY (not too far from a slider even) and EXPENSIVE for how small they are, so being "fine" isn't what I want. If you're going to charge that much and give that little, the food needs to be mouth wateringly incredible. Otherwise give me a normal-sized "fine" burger. Service Notes: No complaints about the service. This place has bit of a "nicer bar" ambiance, but it's quite small. It felt a little too confined honestly. TLDR: Food is fine, but not worth the cost. There are better burgers at lower price points.

A hidden gem! Nice friendly staff and a great place to just have a nice cocktail and chill.read more

We came to Good King Tavern an hour before our res because we are a couple psychopaths, and they…read moresaid they couldn't seat us but have a cute wine bar upstairs if we wanted to kill some time. Reasonable. We walked upstairs into the cutest little dimly lit romantic wine bar I've ever seen. That was a lot of descriptors, but I felt them in my soul. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir and got a side of fries ($5) and pickles ($5), as there is no better date night than wine and fries. One of the most underrated combinations in the food game. They are oddly reminiscent of Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge, just so underappreciated. We sat there, watching the USC and Florida football games on our respective phones between sips of Pinot Noir and bites of these phenomenal fries. These Good King Tavern fries are my favorite I've had in Philly. Both of our teams suck this year, but both won that night. HUGE! Le Caveau delivering miracles... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

The cheeseboard was decent, despite the fact that I don't love blue cheese. The steak frites were tasty- slightly overcooked but the flavor was on point. I expected the wine list by the glass to be a little bit better, but I ended up being underwhelmed and unimpressed by of the couple of the glasses that I had. I wanted dessert, but wish they had more than the two options presented. I'm not in Philly much these days, but enjoyed my time here!

Love this French restaurant I went to last week and already want to go back…read more I had the escargot which were a little lemony but delicious and hard to find at most restaurants. We tried the Leeks all dolled up, the vegetable was healthy and very tasty. I had myself a fortified wine for the first time! This is really the reason I tried this place, as I have never had fortified wine before. What is it you ask? Basically, wine with brandy in it making the cocktail come in at approx 15-20% bac. Fortified wine is poured in much smaller glasses than a normal wine pour, but I am thankful I got to try it. I got the duck of the day, which was duck confit, and it was amazing. My friend got the steak frites and I was very impressed with the quality steak, was ordered medium but came out beautifully medium rare which my friend was happy about as he immediately regretted telling the server he wanted it medium. I didn't have room for dessert, but this unique restaurant has so many items that you cannot find everywhere, and it makes me want to come back ASAP. As always people SYOY!!!!

We managed to snag two stools along a counter next to the kitchen door and ordered two burgers and fries at the bar. Conversation needs to be had at the shouting level, so wouldn't recommend for a first date. Food came out pretty quickly. The kitchen could've taken another minute or so...the burgers were very rare in the center, the buns were cold (possibly right out of a refrigerator), and the fries a bit limp. The pickles were fantastic! That said, these days it's tough to beat a $10.00 burger/fries combo and it's nice to see neighbors filling a local spot. Nod to City Cast Philly for the shoutout!
