Different Cheesesteak #1212. Spoiler alert: I liked it. The cheesesteak by itself probably isn't winning any cheesesteak contests but as a whole I liked The Union Tap House. The cheesesteak had a very good 'we have been using the same grill for 30 years' flavor. Onions added good flavor. $14 and 2 pickles, you know I liked that. Lively, friendly, and eating crowd. Old heavy wood decor. Cool old tile floor in dining area. Lots of chicken wing trophies. Young woman to my right helped me with the WiFi. (sidebar - I am happy that I have reached the age where young people know to just take my phone and do whatever task I am trying to accomplish) I had a lovely chat with the young man to my left.

This neighborhood bar is a gem...IFYKYK! Been here many times, couldn't believe I haven't reviewed yet! Always a solid draft beer list...the food choices from the Nachos to the wings...the food is consistently good! The service is good and bartenders are easy going! Gotta keep Union Tap House in the rotation...because I enjoy the laidback patrons and that is a win when you just want to have a cool night out!

Fun little dive bar near where two of our daughters live! We met them for some beers and grub one night recently. We tried the Kelce brothers beer while we were there and it was really good. We had sandwiches, wings, fries, etc. and it was all good. Oh and the bartender Shae was very attentive and sweet. It was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to hanging out with my girls there again soon.

Wings 10 Piece

Cute and quaint neighborhood bar. Great menu with even better specials. The beer selection is pretty good and the drafts do change but don't worry there are always great new beers and good standbys. The burger was huge, fresh and delicious. They get their buns from a bakery in Conshohocken and they are fresh and amazing. Back to the burger every morsel was delicious and big enough to share. The wings are crisp and delicious. Wing are half-priced on Tuesday nights! Sometimes the staff is a little stretched but the service is always on point. Totally love this place!!

Lemon pepper wings and blue cheese
Stan H.

Quality service, good wings, good crowd. Out of the way of Manayunk Main St but a good time. Wish they still served food as I wanted to try their burger but it was getting too late for real food when my friends and I arrived. Their hard lemonade was nice but not knocking me out of the park. I suspect their beer was probably superb but I tend toward sweeter beers and I never know what to order. Most US options seem more toward the bitterish or sourish side. Almost every time I've asked staff anywhere (not particularly here) for suggestions, they are always good but not what I am looking for. Feels like a bar that avoids the typical college kids that seem to get overly drunk as it isn't as easy to walk to or notice if you aren't already in that particular vicinity.

Wings and basketball what could be better
Vanessa N.

Found this little hole in the wall in manayunk and I'm already obsessed with it. This is the PERFECT spot for any locals as it isn't very crowded, but the food and service is great. Tons of pub food to choose from (the wings are incredible) and they have televisions everywhere if you want to watch any of the games like me! I will be going back often.

Appetizers Fried Pickles
Alyssa F.

I feel as though my first review after my first time going does not do this place justice. I have honestly never eaten in, I only do pickups. but, I am now months later very passionate about this place. I get the same things as my first review, buff chick cheesesteak, fried pickles, mozz sticks. it's all under$40, this feeds two people, great portions and great quality. they are fast at making the food and it's honestly my favorite little comfort place in the area. if you haven't tried the union tap house please do. will not regret.

Sauce on side - habanero and hot
Jasmine S.

Beers on tap, tavern/pub food, great selection of bourbon/rye and pretty good wings. 4/5 on the wings. Prepared to my request (extra crispy and sauce on the side). The sauce options were plentiful and flavorful as well. The fried pickles were bland and not worth the $. Inside the establishment - dimly lit, multiple TVs and a bustling bar area. Will be back!

Jordyn K.

My favorite local dive bar. The hoagie cheesesteak is truly one of my favorite. The wings are pretty top notch too.

Cheesesteak

Great cheesesteak! Service was slower, but there was only one waiter and we were outside. Not going to give 4 stars, but maybe don't go if you're in a rush.

Their challah French toast is something I often think fondly of! They've always been super friendly, and this location may be older but kept clean. I would not just return, but suggest others to stop by in they are visiting the area!

My partner had been to both Murray's Deli and Hymie's Deli in Ardmore. We wanted to have lunch…read moreafter an appointment, so I took a quick look on Yelp, and decided to go to Hymie's. It was packed - only a few tables were available at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately seated and looked over the menu. We decided to share a 1/2 Pastrami sandwich ( you can order 1/2 a sandwich ), 1/2 a Corned Beef sandwich, an order of Potato Latkes and we each had a small bowl of Chicken Matzo Ball soup. The soup was delicious - it was a little bowl with tiny shreds of carrots and chicken. The broth tasted very good, however, the matzo ball was a 'little' different. They were light and fluffy - but there was no texture or flavor at all....none. I would have thought the matzo balls would have absorbed some of the flavor from the soup, but it didn't. I finished the soup, but left the matzo ball. My partner likes pastrami over corned beef - she says it's a more 'peppery' flavor. While I probably prefer corned beef over pastrami because it's a leaner cut, my 'baseline' for pastrami is Katz's (NYC). I'm sure Katz's has great corned beef, but I've only had pastrami there - it's the best I've had. I thought my Corned Beef sandwich was excellent - it was lean, tender and very tasty. I squeeze out a little mound of mustard on my plate and dip. My partner thought her Pastrami sandwich was very good - it was also quite lean. I took a few bites of the pastrami, I thought my corned beef was tastier and had more texture. It almost seemed like they sliced the pastrami too thin. She liked her pastrami more than my corned beef - I suppose it's all a matter of individual taste. The Potato Latkes were delicious - especially with the applesauce! They were a little thicker than I might have preferred, possibly from either potato starch or matzo meal. However, there was a very nice potato taste and the thicker texture was fine. Of course, on the way out I saw a large selection of pasties and had to try a few! I got a few of the Rugelach and a Poppy Hamantash. The Rugelach were a disappointment - the interiors of all were very thick and doughy. I ate some of the exterior layers.....and left the rest. The Poppy Hamantash, on the other hand was one of the best I've had. It was by far the largest one I've ever had! As a result, there wasn't enough Mohn (poppy filling) for such a large pastry! The filling was very good as was the cookie (it was like 1/2 scone and 1/2 cookie)! Overall, Hymie's exceeded my expectations and I'll look forward to returning.

We were looking for a breakfast spot after dentist appointment in Bala Cynwyd, and saw Katz's when…read morewe searched online. I was somewhat dubious when I saw the Yelp rating, but thought we would try it anyways. Katz's was opened in 2009 by Jeff Katz - however, it appears he no longer owns the restaurant and someone else has purchased it. There's a reference on the website 'Since 1948' - but there is no mention anywhere of this business being open prior to 2009. It's also unusual that there is no information on the current owner, other than they are Asian. We were seated and waited 10 minutes before asking someone for water and a menu. We waited again, and had to ask someone to take our order. My partner ordered Scrambled Eggs with Salami, a side of French Fries and a Sesame Bagel. I ordered the Veggie Omelette with a side of French Fries and an English Muffin. I also ordered a small stack of pancakes (2). My partner said the eggs and salami were good - I tasted it (even though I don't like salami) and the eggs tasted fine. The sesame bagel was good, but toasted too long and a little burnt. However, it was the French fries that stood out! They were large and delicious! My Veggie Omelette had lots of veggies and my first few bites tasted good - however, the omelette fell apart and it was runny in the inside - the egg hadn't been fully cooked. I flip my omelettes (both sides) before adding veggies - this was not flipped before adding the veggies. There was a white runny liquid which I assume was uncooked egg white. I left most of the omelette but ate the French fries! The pancakes were average - they tasted fine, but had a tough exterior, making it difficult to cut with a fork. I needed to use my butter knife to cut a pancake as the tough exterior is from being on a very hot griddle for too long. Of course, living in NYC and having Katz's deli on the Lower East Side set the standard for a great deli. Katz's Deli Kitchen in Bala Cynwyd, which is more of a diner than deli, doesn't come close.

This is a great breakfast place for sure, I stopped in a couple mornings while working in the…read morearea.

Sometimes its stupefying to believe that the original Foodery location is a place that I've been…read moreenjoying for 20 years now (and that it's been roughly 14 years ago since I reviewed it on here - https://www.yelp.com/biz/foodery-philadelphia). But in its multiple locations its definitely evolved from the tiny corner store that's a beer and sandwich haven, to several places that deliver the same in a much larger package. But when it comes down to both deli counter and beer selection, the Roxborough location might just be my favorite, and not just because it also let me scoop out some popcorn to go during non-Covid-19 times. Even in the slightly larger NoLibs location, past Foodery locations have boldly crammed specialty groceries, a deli counter, and fridges stocked with ALL THE BEERS into some seriously crammed situations. But that isn't a problem in this one which is by far the largest I've seen (without setting foot in the Phoenixville one yet). Because of that everything is placed in areas that make sense while also tossing in things like a section for large bottles, ALL THE SNACKS, and an impressive growler fill station. My favorite sandwich is definitely the Diablo with its buffalo chicken, pepper jack cheese, avocado, and chipotle mayo that delivers a spicy kick that doesn't border on overkill. But I've also enjoyed the Hot Toastee with its tavern ham, swiss cheese, honey mustard, apple, and pecans on a toasted sourdough. The main event by far is the epic beer coolers, and whether you're looking for hard to find imports, well-liked local brews, noteworthy seasonal brews, ciders and seltzers, hoppy beers, chocolate stouts, or other, you're bound to find it!

The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, with only two small tables for seating. Luckily, there was only one other customer when I arrived, so I was able to grab a seat. The interior has a subtle Star Wars theme, but nothing too extravagant in terms of decorations. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code and placing your order online. I decided to try the Vodka Pesto Rebel sandwich. It took about 15-20 minutes for my food to come out, which was a little longer than I expected considering there was only one other customer ahead of me. When the sandwich finally arrived, I was shocked by how HUGE it was! It genuinely felt like it weighed close to two pounds. The sandwich was absolutely packed with crispy chicken cutlet, which I loved. The inside of the sesame bun was coated with a garlic pesto spread, giving it an almost garlic bread-like flavor. The marinara sauce had a nice tanginess to it, and all the flavors complemented each other really well. The portion size was incredibly generous, and I ended up eating the sandwich over the course of two meals. For the amount of food you get, it's definitely worth the price! Despite the slightly longer wait, I was really impressed with the sandwich and would absolutely come back to try more of their menu.
