The dish was Erin's lobster blt. I was disappointed with my experience. The lobster sandwich cost over $25, but the quality did not justify the price. The lobster meat was chewy, bland, and seemed to be simply boiled without any seasoning or flavor. It also had a gritty texture, which made every bite unpleasant. Overall, the meal was far below my expectations, and I left feeling dissatisfied. read more

We went to Phil's for lunch today. The lunch crowd was a bit sparse but the service was attentive. Menu is huge and it has salads and sandwiches of every variety. The menu is a bit pricey but the food was delicious. It has been some time since I had eaten there but it was good as ever ! read more

Phil's has been around a while, and I've gotten there about 2x in the last 4 months. First time was great at the bar. Went with my family on a Friday night, and it was so so. We were seated in the back room as we had a little one. No issue, but we couldn't order from the HH menu because we weren't "at the bar." I didn't ask to be seated in the back room. Any who, we get it. What we snagged: -Alex's grilled cheese steak. Very flavorful. Solid meal to keep you full. -Ravioli and meatball for little one. Good portion and good all around. -I snagged a chicken Caesar wrap, but got a hoagie roll with chicken, red peppers, lettuce, and cheese. Sent it back, came back with all the above in a wrap. Just took it and went on with the night. Overall, good vibe if you're with your pals or gals. Maybe not the best for families. Lastly, it's expensive. Each sandwich on the menu is 20$+. Comes with fries. Inflation? Who knows. read more

They now charge a cash price or 3% added for credit cards. Also, their prices are crazy . I ordered an eggplant parmigiana sandwich and it came with potato chips for cash $17.99. Our favorite pizza restaurant charges $10.99. The table was being cleaned while we were standing there to leave. My husband ordered a veggie hot sandwich with sauce. Price $14.99 with chips. They charged extra for the sauce. Prices are high enough these days We don't plan to return anytime soon. read more

I really am done with eating out ! You can't make this stuff up! Went this evening to Phil's I ordered a BBQ burger medium well done .. My burger comes out I take two bites and it's raw in the middle.. I call the waitress over and show her she was so kind to say I'll get you another one so sorry about that. No problem.. five minutes later she returned with my burger.. Come to find out the cook took my burger that he messed up and put it back on the grill for a fit on the grill and put it on a new toll !! You got to be kidding me ! if anything I should of received a fresh burger for free and a visit to my table from the manger . Horrible customer service!! I read more

I attend a weekly lunch meeting with a set menu of mostly salads and sandwiches. Everything I have tried has been delicious. The management and servers are all very friendly. It feels like a family atmosphere when I'm there. read more

I was recommended to try a grilled cheese here, so that's why I had to visit this establishment. My friend ordered a regular grilled cheese, and I ordered a Philly cheesesteak grilled cheese. We both ordered beers. Honestly, the grilled cheese is nothing to rave about. I can make the grilled cheese twice as good as the one that I had here. Given the price, I would expect the meal to be more delicious. I have high expectations, and I can easily say that my expectations were not met here. I do appreciate how extensive the menu is. But if it's not good, I have no reason to come back. read more

Huge diner like menu, expensive, tons of drink options. Went for Kentucky Derby and it was just ok. Apparently they have "award winning burgers". I tried the cajun cheddar cheeseburger (cajun seasoning, two onion rings, lettuce, tomato, cheddar) with cajun fries. Also asked for side of cheese sauce for fries. They cook cheese into bun which is bizarrre. Hardly any cheese at all! Burger is super dry and needs ketchup or sauce. Thankfully got cheese sauce to put on burger. No way this is a top tier burger. Also tried meatballs (huge and good but again hardly any sauce and dry). Sadly, best part of meal was cheese sauce lol. read more

Old school place with a huge menu. Amazing bar and over all cool vibe....................... I will def go back again

Service was great. Atmosphere was very welcoming and cozy. All of our food seemed to be universally understated though, to the point of making it nearly unpalatable, My wife ordered Prime Rib which had nearly 0 taste and seemed like it had been in a steam table of some kind bc it was so tough. I ordered the veal parm which had the same issue, a little salt but nowhere near enough. I don't know if they're trying to be mindful of their senior clientele, but our meals were def underwhelming. read more

In town for a two day college visit with my son. Phil's was recommended by the hotel front desk manager. Great recommendation! The atmosphere, food and service was top notch! I had some apps - chili, broccoli bites and onion rings. My son had the Philly Cheese Steak. The food was hot and delicious. BIG portions! I think my voracious son may have almost struggled to finish his sandwich! I needed to go boxes. Terrific spot! Very well done! read more

The worst experience ever!! Evidently if you are not a regular you are out !! Tia ugh .. I felt violated to say the least .. weird experience and they need to be called out for it Not sure about the food because 4 of us ordered and ended up leaving because we were asked to leave because a regular came in and wanted there seat WTH!! 6ABC next for my review oh I'm a white 63 yrs old woman. The lack of communication skills !! Equals I'm not that smart .. read more

Love their spinach salad always ask for cheddar cheese to be added just wished its were fresh cut baby cubes instead of shredded (fresh or bagged) read more

Came here with a group of 11 and were attracted by the large diverse menu. Enjoyed that the room we sat in was quiet. However, that was where the good ended. The food was mediocre. The prime rib was tough and came out over cooked. The server never came back to check on us or offer refills on drinks. Yet they still added in the 20% tip, which they calculated AFTER tax. read more

Great, great night at Phil's!!! The food was terrific with a wide variety and nice, size portions. Salads were great and chick parm we're super. Liam and Nick were very responsive and personable as were the other service staff. Fun vibe. We will definitely be back! read more

Unlike the last time I was here the experience and food wasn't good. We came here for my birthday today because I wanted Prime Rib. Only served on Friday and Saturday. The table next to us was disappointed in that fact too. The menus were filthy and stuck together. The drink menu looks to have been used as a coaster and was stained and water damaged. Sine no prime rib. Ordered the Lobster Cheesesteak. The mushrooms and the steak was good. The cheese was terrible and the lobster was way over cooked. Like a super ball is was so chewy. My son got the lobster grilled cheese I think it was called and his lobster too was barely eatable. What a shame. I get that times are tough but serving that should have never happened. If you are going to have multiple dishes with lobster on it. The cook(s) need to learn how to prepare it. The table was so wobbly that it was very annoying and time someone leaned on it. There were quite a few "market price" items without any idea of what market price was. A steak could have been $80 for all we knew. Hostess was on their phone. (i get it but still.) read more

We have eaten in and have ordered takeout from Phil's. Eat in the service is excellent. The selections we have ordered are very good and the portion sizes are decent. Prices tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum. For take out, be sure you check your order for accuracy BEFORE you leave the restaurant. Twice I discovered mistakes after I arrived home. Phil's does not include the sides (chips, pickles, horseradish etc.) with takeout orders that would come standard when dining in. I have also paid cash for items on pick up and and it was assumed the change was a tip. Not a fan of restaurants that assume a tip on takeout when you receive no table service. read more

We arrived late after driving all day to Philly and there weren't too many options open after 9pm on a weeknight. This place was a pleasant surprise. The menu was diverse with ribs, chicken, burgers, pasta-something for everyone.. Of course my first choice was pasta and it wasn't available late so I had meatballs w/sweet peppers & onions. My husband had the mashed potato & gravy burger. I ate one meatball (they are as huge like a softball) and took the other one for later. My one complaint would be that the to go container w/foil & styrofoam doesn't work well for hotel guests w/limited utensils. We improvised and split the meatball into 2 paper cups to reheat after the Philly Dead & Co show, it was still delicious read more

Very mixed on the rating here as I wanted my experience to be better. Our service wasn't great but they were nice. The food was ok but the portions were big. They crush you on the prices, especially the alcoholic drinks. $20 for a sandwich, $26 for a burger... our dessert was very good however. Probably won't be back for a while. Very expensive for very average. Note to the restaurant, your menu is too big. You could cut it by 50% and still have too many options. read more

terrible experience . staff is rude and disrespectful. Tia at the bar was totally distasteful.

Big portions of food, solid service. Just not overwhelmed with their menu options. Still haven't found something I actually liked there.

Food is plentiful. Service is excellent. Ambiance is friendly, lively and place is very popular. Desserts out of sight. Good drinks and beer. read more

Terrible customer experience when dealing with management. Servers are great ! Love the food, too bad I won't be back read more

Love Phil's for its typical, but expansive "bar food" menu. Most portions are huge; large enough to be shared by two people.

I was surprised when I was here for lunch the other day. Their prices are a bit out of line! I had a sandwich and it was $22. Be aware, you are not the only place in town and I won't be back! read more

Came with a big party, 14 of us. The service was fairly quick with taking the orders. The server seemed like she was in a rush as she was rushing through taking the orders. She got 2 orders wrong so 2 of us sat without food while others started eating. The cheesesteak was not that great. Came out greasy and flavorless. I ended up just eating the fries for dinner. The meatloaf grilled cheese was ok. Nothing too special. Majority of our party got burgers and they all loved them. So maybe burgers are what to get. The server stopped paying us any mind once we paid and didn't bother to get any plates out of our way. I had to get up and put our dishes elsewhere so we had some table room. Forgot her name but would not get her again if I saw her. Mediocre experience overall. read more

In town for a weekend wedding. Came here for a light dinner. Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars. I had a fantastic burger, cooked perfectly, accompanied by fries that were also cooked perfectly, not soggy nor greasy. The coleslaw was also very good. My wife, who needs gluten free due to allergies, had a gluten free corned beef sandwich that she said was excellent. Reasonably priced meal served with great service. read more

I recently moved to the area and have been wanting to try Phil's as every time I drive by it's packed! The only thing holding me back was that I have a 3 month old and I wasn't sure if it would accommodate him but I was pleasantly surprised! They take call ahead seating which is great so we didn't have to wait too long inside. It is very cozy and low key inside. It is surprisingly very big with different rooms and easily accommodated my family. We had plenty of space for the car seat and didn't feel overwhelmed. The menu is massive with pages and pages of selections. It was hard to choose so we relied on the waitress's recommendations and she was spot on. We started by sharing the fried mozzarella which were hot, crunchy and tasty. My husband and I both got burgers which were delicious and filling. They are quite large and could easily be split. We shared chocolate cake for dessert which was enough for probably 5! This will definitely be one of our new weekly dinner spots as the menu is large and the staff are friendly and welcoming! read more

Very crowded but to be expected at Phil's on a Saturday night. The thing was, there were lots of empty tables. Thought they must be low on waitstaff, which was confirmed when we finally did get seated. Long wait for food and had to ask for water drink refills. Food was fine. What the problem was, is that I currently have a mobility issue, and while I knew the bathroom was tiny, I didn't realize how remarkably unmanageable it was for people who need handicapped accessible facilities. One of the tiny stalls actually had a changing table inside but can't imagine how parent can fit and close the door. It's always been this way but selfishly until it impacted me personally I didn't care. There is no way this is ADA accessible. How do they get away with this? Is it possible they were grandfathered in? read more
