“Staff is awesome - goes above and beyond to serve everyone Environment is awesome - local bar feel, but not a “regulars only” kinda spot if that makes sense. Also great place to watch a game. Food is awesome - everything I have tried, I have liked 5/5 stars for me“

“I just joined Five Iron Fishtown and I love it. The location is great and I love the vibes of the inside. The hours are perfect as I generally go to use the simulators before work in the morning and work on my swing or play a round. I’ve also had a few lessons with Senior Golf Pro Matt Davis and I can already tell my swing has gotten better. With the technology they have and following Matt’s direction I feel like I’ll be performing a lot better once I get on an actual course. Highly recommend.“

“Our waitress Dana was just Simply Fantastic!!! Extremely friendly and very sweet. From the beginning she greeted us with a smile. Definitely ask for her. Won’t be disappointed. Thank you for being a sweet person. We need more waitresses like you. Apple Bees, she’s a keeper.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ! Always a good time 🙂“

“Pizza is amazing and the atmosphere is even better ❤️❤️“

“When there are no events, a great place to decompress. Staff are friendly and take care of you. The burgers are banging, the beers are icy breezy and the frozen bacardis are a vacation at home. Stellar staff as always.“

“NICE CLEAN BAR, FOOD VERY GOOD COLDEST BEER IN NORTHEAST STAFF AND PEOPLE VERY NICE. GREAT PLACE.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! The espresso martinis were some of the best I've had—perfectly balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink.

I also ordered the Parmesan chicken wings with a side of hot sauce, and they were outstanding. The wings were incredibly juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and the Parmesan seasoning was packed with flavor. Dipping them in the hot sauce took them to another level. I'm a huge wing fan, and these are definitely some of the better wings I've had.

Great food, great drinks, and I'll definitely be back!“

“If you’re looking for a great bar, friendly staff, amazing drinks, and even better food.. then look no further! If you’re new to the Manayunk/Roxborough area, have lived here your whole life, or are just passing through the city you will not regret stepping foot in to CJ & Eck’s. Try one of the amazing food specials the chef prepares, ask for a Tootsie Bomb, and enjoy an ice cold draft beer! The staff is always welcoming, and the regulars will make it feel like home!“

They worked flawlessly together to provide the best service for all there and were truly a pleasure! If you're in Philly, add this to your list of great places to go!“

“Real chill atmosphere here😁...“

“We stopped by for drinks with no expectations and had a really great time. If you’re going on a date or just hanging out with friends I would definitely recommend this place. They had plenty of pool tables, darts, and other games to play like basketball. The menu is actually on the wall so you don’t have to wait for a waiter or waitress to figure out what you want and the prices were extremely reasonable considering where this place is located. The pizza was delicious and I got a Cesar salad with a couple of beers. Drafts were good too. 10/10.“

“Our server Zanyia was very friendly, just needed some extra help that wasn't around. The manager Janine was very accommodating and understanding. It was busier for a Wednesday evening so I understand it was harder to keep pace kitchen and bar wise.“

“A friend and I stopped here to have some appetizers and drinks before going to see a show at the Met. We absolutely loved it! The atmosphere, the food and drinks were all great. Also, Imani was awesome as well. Thank you“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Applebee’s, and I especially want to recognize our server, Rian, for making my visit so enjoyable! From the moment I was seated, Rian was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They checked on me throughout the meal at just the right times, and their attitude was genuinely positive and kind. You can really tell when someone takes pride in providing good customer service, and Rian absolutely did. Good service can completely change a dining experience, and Rian definitely went above and beyond. They were professional, respectful, friendly, and genuinely pleasant to interact with. Thank you, Rian, for making my visit such a great experience. I truly appreciated your kindness, attentiveness, and excellent service.“

“The only reason I have one star on food was because when I got thAre the food wasn't open. I asked the staff and they made it sound like food guy was away for the weekend. I went across the street to grab a cheesesteak for dinner than came back..I had another great time thare watching the Phillies baseball game but when it became later In the night the food stand did open up. Please keep staff up to date on food stand service schedule.“

“Very friendly nice people ugly kid Joe here the rock band checked in for this place because I was for my walk on vacation. Don't do bars much anymore but it was raining out from my exercise walk and I went in for a refreshment cocktail the two Latina women there very professional and very friendly if I had a bar I would hire them. Nice little bar again soon when I'm off tour. 😁 I didn't try the food but I can say I love this bar.🥳😆🙏“

“Dr. Thunder is the best! I had a private karaoke party for my 30th birthday with him as the DJ and I think I peaked. All my friends couldn't stop talking about how awesome his music selection and DJ skills were. We loved it so much we already booked him again for another event!!! Highly recommend Dr. Thunder, 15/10“

“Upon arrival, I was greeted by Nita a beautiful spirit who was so kind and diligent in making sure that we were set to enter the facility. She answered all our questions and was super personable.

Lou made sure service was up to par and that we were well taken care of.“

“Best Brazilian Bar around, and definitely #1 in the Northeast. The owner, security DJ, and bartenders, especially Thamy, are awesome. It's always a great time! Excellent food, music, and drinks. Melhor bar Brasileiro ao redor, e definitivamente o número 1 do Nordeste. O proprietário, DJ de segurança e barmen, especialmente Thamy, são incríveis. É sempre um grande momento! Excelente comida, música e bebidas.“

“Great food great drinks and awesome bartenders“

“One of the best places to visit... Come join us“

“I have been coming to Freddy & Tony's since i was born! As soon as you walk in they make you feel like your family. If you do not speak Spanish or know how to read Spanish that is not a problem here their menu is biligual, and so are the staff. This place is were I go to get a home style meal from the islands. My favorite is their sweet plantain, stewed chicken, arroz con gandules, and salad(***put oil and vinegar on it not salad dressing it cuts the fat from the food you're eating to refresh you pallet). They have tons of options to choose from too, just know that if you going here on a Saturday or Sunday be ready for a crowd because this is THE best place to go for Puerto Rican food in Philly!“

“the dj is a savage. I loved all music he played! the food is great. the staff is very friendly!“

“I enjoyed myself. I had a ball actually.. It was a quiet night. Barely anyone there. No problem 4 me. I like my space and strong drinks and music. In a clean environment is what makes me happy. Plus siren & Marvin was the cherries on top. That other brown skin guy became more highly disrespectful as the night went on. He claims to be the boss.“

“what a great place with delicious drinks and a wonderful tour.“

“grumpy's is a great fun filled place to go for a good time . this place has been around forever and they welcome everyone and anyone !!!“

“Perfect spot to hang out with friends and shoot pool. Friendly staff and outstanding food that is available even at late night hours.“

“It’s a family bar love this bar“

“The young ladies behind the bar are sweet, personable and professional. If you go twice, they'll remember your name and what you drink. And this may be a best-kept secret but the roast pork sandwich with long hots will CRUSH 90% of those in South Philadelphia. Doesn't need the cup of "jus" they include, but you can down it like a shot. Pro tip: Try subbing Cooper Sharp for Provolone.“

“My impression is that the place is a throw -back to crowded Brazilian bars/ clubs in Rio the 2000’s. It’s fun, good vibes and energy. The bottom floor has a band and a DJ, a big screen for World Cup games and a well attended bar. The middle floor is more family oriented, at least during the World Cup games. The rooftop stills not open.
People were very friendly but yet respectful; the typical happy and relaxed Brazilian vibe, songs and good times. What I could not really stomach was the security guards in the first floor and in the entrance carrying a big riffle 😳. Certainly not typical for America or Philly and I don’t remember being part of the scene in Brazil .“

“I hadn't been to Applebee's in quite some time. This was the Southampton location. Had the Loaded Wave Potatoes (loaded is a bit of a stretch, could really use more cheese and bacon but still) they were delicious! Crisp on the outside tender inside. Also had the Grilled Cheese Cheese Burger. Very good. Cooked perfectly to my order of medium, hot & juicy. Servers and hostess were so very nice, smiling, welcoming. This Applebee's location really stepped up their game.“

“Food was good , service was good .“

“It used to be our favorite place to eat nachos and watch the games, unfortunately they changed the type of meat, what was Nice steak is now the same used for cheesesteak, the food looks like nachos but tastes like cheesesteak hoogies. Wings are great!!“

“Absolutely love this place! Anytime I am in Philly I make it a point to visit! Great food and drinks“
