Omg. Insane. The bread. The steak. The cheese. I only took like 4 bites but I think it was my favorite steak n cheese ever. Also just great atmosphere. The dude who runs the bar is on point. Love this place.“

The kitchen closes off at 1am and they close at 2am. I’m definitely going back. There are more options on the menu I need to try.“

“Music on South St. continues thanks to Katie and Tom from Milkboy South St. You know there is a very easy way to su0porrt Philadelphia venues. Show up“

“The authentic german food and beer in the heart of Philly! Great service, food and of course beer. See you definitely soon!“

“Great bartender, incredible music selection and possibly the best burger in the city. Especially for the dollar it is the best burger. The beer list was absolutely incredible and diverse. Happy hour like everywhere in this town means two dollar off pints. Even on days like St. Patrick’s Day, they still are efficient and friendly at Fountain Porter.

Parking: It’s South Philly. You know what you’re getting into. It’s busy.

Kid-friendliness: Due to the neighborhood, there are kids around during happy hour, and strollers can be common“

“Hands down the BEST shrimp fajitas I have had in forever. Nicholas B had amazing customer service. He was pleasant and greeted me as soon as I walked in ready to take my order. It was done quickly and presented very nicely for a to go order. The food tasted great was hot and fresh! I will be back to order and recommend them to anybody wanting Mexican food. Job well done!!“

“Great people!! Thanks so much Doug for taking care of us and letting us order in amazing cheese steaks you recommended! We will definitely be back my new/old-school nostalgic favorite stop any time I'm out in Philly! Great to meet some new phriends and phamily! Rock on🤘👍❤️💯💥“

“Very authentic American cuisine, I really like it.“

“Hands down the best place in the area before a game, event or anytime. We take our kids and they love it. Do not sleep on the menu, it’s an amazing variety. Service is excellent every time. This is the place we tell all our friends to hit up when we are in the area. 10 out of 10!“

“We had burgers, wings, hot dogs, fries and mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious! Burgers were, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great. We’re definitely coming back.“

“Oh yes, oh yes! The Jambalaya, also the Sheperds Pie are wonderful. Drink prices are very reasonable and are served from a polished woodwork bar area. Check out Blaize’s inflatable greeter at the front door.“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“Probably the best and only $4 sandwich I’ve ever had. The menu feels like you’re taking a step back in time with the prices. It’s a dive, don’t expect gourmet. Service is great, food is great, and we will be coming back for a drink next time we are in the area.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pudge’s Pub Review I had an amazing experience at Pudge’s Pub — so good that I went for both lunch and dinner! The food was absolutely incredible. The hoagie at lunch was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I tried the shrimp fra Diavolo, and I’m extremely particular about that dish… but this was a 10 out of 10. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and truly impressive. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back!“

“this place is all my favorite things in one: wines, small bites, specialty cocktails, dainty foods, luncheonette, storefront with specialty curated stuff.

it’s farm to freezer to plate and we can buy extra from the store to take it home and eat it again!

⭐ loved the ravioli pasta sheet — the brown butter oily sauce paired well with the tiny pillows of ricotta. we used their bread to soak it all up.

wines were great too. knesis got the zweigeld (not my kinda wine, too much body-ady-ady). I got their specialty gamay collab with a local producer and it was DELICIOUS!

overall, my friend and I got ravioli, cheese board and 4 cocktails/wines totalling to about $55 per person!
what a sugar and carb filled meal!

service: was nice! servers were cute and buzzing around the tables — very busy on a rainy wednesday evening

atmosphere: cool vibey place great for dates! it is a little cramped. also didn’t realize it was first come first serve seating.“

“Als Touristen sind wir ohne große Erwartungen ins Dirty Frank's. Wir wurden im Prinzip am ersten Tag schon als Stammgäste angesehen. Ab dem zweiten Tag, fühlten wir uns auch so. Absolut super Service, sehr nette Menschen im der Bar. Coole Jukebox, günstige Getränke. Sollte es uns jemals wieder nach Philly verschlagen, wird Dirty Frank's Bar das Erste sein, was wir besuchen werden.“

“First time here. We are so glad we came here. The mussels, wings, spinach artichoke dip, the drinks, and santa fe egg rolls were SOOOO GOOD. We absolutely loved the food. We will be back!! Clean, nice, definitely a new go to spot!“

“Love it and it’s eagles central“

“Great fusion cuisine with legit vibes and breathtaking views! It's an unexpected vibe - rooftop bar located on top of a schoolbuilding, you are prone to ask yourself “ is this right place” on arrival- lol yes it most certainly IS. Must try the wings and the drinks. We had few items off the menu none of them disappointed but the wings really stood out! The atmosphere is so nice people were willing to stand and eat!!!!! Good music - perfect for a date or after work with friends. You have to grab a panorama of the skyline which looks stunning day or night. If there was any drawbacks it would be the seating is actually old school furniture - however after a few of those signature cocktails and a couple of tunes you are going to ignore the pain of tiny little school chairs 😅 This is a Summertime MUST for us!“

“New Mike and John great friendly and interesting bar tenders. Burgers and fries bigger and better then pre pandemic. 2 thumbs up. Always interesting crowd and not pretentious. Good food and good service.“

“Had a fantastic experience at the newest PJs location recently. Plenty of TVs, the drinks were well made and the wings were plump. I'll definitely be back!“

“I had a 2-hour outdoor happy hour at Jet Wine Bar under the pergola and it was a great time! About 40 people joined. It was easy to set-up, have a custom menu for the people who joined, and have individuals be on their own tabs while offering pitchers for the group. I highly recommend working with Jet Wine Bar for your next event!“

“Great place Thanks for having us“

“Frankie and all the staff were fantastic. Met a few great local people too. Great to have a drink watch a game and a chat.“

“Awesome venue on south street, great drinks, bartenders and staff are super friendly, love seeing more music venues pop up in Philly. Also the history behind this venue makes it great to stand in a place where Nirvana once played at in 1989. They Also make a great old fashioned !“

“I love this Slice Shop! So tasty! I love the regular, the sausage, the pepperoni, the Mootz, Jake's, Freddy Prinze, Hellboy.“

“We did a Sunday Funday at cake and kitchen. The food, service, and atmosphere for all perfect. Our waiter whose name was Colin was excellent. We highly recommend this location for cool drinks and a great menu.“

“I find it an awesome place to sit outside with great drinks and a great happy hour especially the nachos just wish they added chorizo on the nacho’s for happy hour. Nice to relax here last night was the Phillies game and it was great👍“

“what a warm welcome to philly. the ambiance in this place is unmatched - the low light and the masterfully curated records spinning made it feel like a well needed step into the past, of slower days and simpler joys. the kind of spot that invites you to stay a little longer and sip a little slower. the coffee itself was just as memorable, and the pastries tasted like home.“

“My favorite local dive, and as such everything you'd expect. Surly bartenders, affordable drinks, good rotating beer selection, campy old movies, great jukebox, questionable bathrooms. But always consistent, open 365, and populated with the local characters. 🙃“

“This is truly the best kept secret. This place rocks, darts, pool table, great atmosphere, and the porch is awesome. specially during a storm!! At 1st it looks like a house, but when you enter, it's a great place for happy hour and like a "CHEERS." Bartenders are awesome and the food is actually simple and decent. I love how you can go off the menu items and order what you want. If they have it, it can be done!“

“Stopped in on night 2 of rebrand to their new concept. Burger, chicken cutlet sandwiches and boozy (and regular) milkshakes. Had a great meal and chatting with the staff. Was thrilled to see a lot of customers. My fav was the South Philly cutlet sammy but all were great.“

“One of the last bastions of a real neighborhood bar. Dark, dingy, with cheap drinks, friendly bartenders, and a lively crowd. I stopped in after many years away from Philly and it's still the same place I feel in love with so many years ago. $4 shot and beer in 2026 is a welcome anomaly from overpriced and overly complicated cocktails. As close as it gets to perfection for dive bar aficionados!“

“Wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was amazing. Very clean and updated and great service!“

“Love this place. Been going there for decades.“

“Had great apps and desert. Will be back!“

“I came here years ago and was always getting the fish bowls. When I went today (12-7-2024) they no longer make them and I was disappointed but I got a vodka & OJ and a Long Island ice tea. The kitchen was closed but I have tried their seafood platters. I love this place. An older crowd and no riff raff. I’ve moved closer and that makes it better. Robin was a GEM.“
