“Bar Jawn has Amazing service and food! In addition, a special thank you to Twon, Kelly, and David for helping out Blind Sports Organization (BSO) for letting us raise some money to let us continue and play the sport we really love. They really took great care of us the 6 hours we were there for.“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

“Bad Brother is one of the best neighborhood bars and restaurants in Philadelphia. I love to take friends and family there for not only their selection at the bar and a delicious and creative menu, but the service and atmosphere are just what you need to feel at home while also enjoying your time out. Get yourself some wings, a burger, and a sausage sandwich! Add a Caesar salad that you won’t regret, either.“

“Just got home from an AMAZING dinner celebrating my father in laws 70th birthday and the 50th wedding anniversary for he and his wife. The service was impeccable and our server, Taylor was fantastic, friendly, understanding and accommodating the entire time! She couldn’t have been better! Made the entire experience a happy & memorable one! The person that helped out, Tyler was also great! Between the service and the delicious meal this is a family dinner we will never forget! 🤍 THANK YOU!“

“Amazing“

“Finally got to visit my friend’s restaurant! We were NOT disappointed!! Excellent food, attentive staff in a quiet warm atmosphere. The menu made it so hard to decide but the Crab Cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten. The food at the whole table was amazing. Looking forward to dining again when we’re back in town!“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“This is my first visit and I have found myself never wanting to leave! The food is delicious and the staff is exceptional. The staff team work so well together and give off such phenomenal energy. I ate and smiled the entire visit. If I had more time to be in the company of the phenomenal staff, Chef Asia (AJ), Chef Asha, Chef Carl, Chef Janelle and Chef Tweet, I would have placed my credit card on the table and stayed for lunch, dinner and breakfast. Great eats and great greets at this establishment. That is a difficult find.“

“Ordered a chicken pesto Stromboli and one of the reasons was the sun dried tomato’s. Unfortunately it came with regular tomatoes which made it watery. Sun-dried tomatoes are more expensive than plum tomatoes and the flavor is very different.if they were not available the server should have mentioned and the price should reflect the difference. Very disappointed and only had a couple bites.“

“Delicious food. Friendly staff. A great place for dinner.“

“Need a quick bite with the absolute best service in town? Look no further than this little gem. Z and the guys at Mighty Mini constantly make my day. Reasonably priced, exceedingly delicious, and a nice chat with the nicest guy in town. Can’t beat this place.“

“It would be more appropriate for the cooks & some servers use hair nets & beard nets.I been coming to the place for yrs. But things have change from more consideration to patrons..big hair & large beards fly around..ITS very not hygienic not covering up properly..“

“Good Service and food too.“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Sat, 11/12/22–what a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had muscles for our appetizer that were fresh and very tasty. We each had different entrees, one the salmon dish and the other chicken—both were amazing, with each of us saying we’d order our meal again or try the other one next time. Then dessert: one had the s’mores dessert and the other the chocolate bread pudding—we didn’t think we’d have room, but we made room, because both were excellent! Plus the chef said he’d be changing the menu every week—we can’t wait to go back!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“If you are ever in Philly def have to try this gem… An authentic family owned diner, this is Blue Jay Restaurant… hands down the best breakfast spot and most def the best Philly cheesesteaks we had in Philly. The owners are Greek and have been there since 1937. Their customer service is superb and the food omg is outstanding. #PhillyCheesesteaks #Philadelphia #Pennsylvania #PhiladelphiaPA #breakfast #Lunch #BlueJayRestaurant“

“Highly recommend this out of the way gem. Looking forward to the next visit“

“Everything we ordered was so fresh, portions so large we had to take a lot home. They even went to effort to find us tabbouleh when they thought it was sold out and was it delicious. Our party included one vegan, one vegetarian and one mainly veg. Special mention to the pita, a cloud of wonderfulness, and the ginger juice, a spicy, sweet, delicious treat. We'll be back soon!“

“Had breakfast over at West Ave grille and went across the street to check out some of the other stores. Stumbled across this spot ! 10/10 drinks were amazing . Mel the owner was awesome ,kind ,and accommodating. Keenan was amazing as well. I will be back soon .“

“We had our semi-annual breakfast there once again. As usual, great food and service. We had Jessica and Courtney , our regular waitresses, they are great. All the guys love them. They handled 41 Sears TractorTrailer drivers - no problem. We’ll be back in six months (4/11/25). At the end some of us waited for this picture.“

“This is the best sandwich shop in the Philly area. It’s attached to the Home Depot store n Bustleton ave. It’s hard to believe there isn’t a line out the door. I believe it’s due to the large Ukrainian population in the area.“

“My wife and I stopped in with our dog on Sunday, and they were kind enough to allow us outside seating. Claire was our server and she was very attentive even adding ice cubes to the dogs water and bringing a pup cup for the dog for desert. Harvest Grill is very pet friendly and we will certainly stop back.“

“Kia was our service and when i tell you she is the bomb.com. She made my family feel like we was the only ones she was attending too. She had 4 other tables, but she made all the tables feel like we was top priority. She’s very amazing with children and you can tell she really loves her job. The manger Steven (i think that was his name) came and checked on the table and let us know Kia is definitely one of the best. I’ll be back for sure on Kia shift.
Yall have to make sure yall keep her around.“

“Honestly, I rarely get to come here but whenever I do it’s amazing. The owners are always very kind and welcoming. + They treat you like FAMILY. I tend to just get their normal Mac ‘N Cheese and it’s REALLY cheesy! They also have their own area just for kids. It has nice things you can borrow (such as games) to make your experience way more fun! Their menu is very diverse so even if you don’t like Mac ‘N Cheese you’re bound to see something you’ll like. And again on the service. The workers are so kind and whenever I’m talking with the owners it’s as if we’re FAMILY“

“I've been coming here regularly, and every single time, I leave happy! The food is always amazing, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the experience even better. Consistently excellent service and delicious meals definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“great burger, very tasty!“

“Cool vibes, family style small plates. Rotisserie chicken and grilled oysters were phenomenal. Other highlights: chicory salad, fries, and cauliflower croquettes. We tried a few cocktails and they were creative and pretty good. Wine list is extensive.“

“Quick and Friendly service“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“Wonderful lunch today at Bruno‘s! We sat outside, enjoyed a chicken salad, wrap, a grilled cheese with bacon, and a cheeseburger, with ice cream served in parfait dishes for dessert. Everything was fresh, tasty, and served quickly and with a smile. Perfect experience all around.“
