We visited on a Saturday night before a popular act at The Keswick. It was busy inside, but still nice enough to sit outside with no wait. Our server, Tim, rocks a short mohawk and was super attentive and helpful with menu choices. I am glad we stopped in!

This place has flavorless, expensive food. I got a crab cake on a salad. The arugula in my salad was yellow and smashed into the bowl as though there were a stack of bowls premade in the fridge for a week. The ARUGULA had no flavor. It was supposed to come with feta but they put blue cheese on it (the only horrible taste the whole dish had). It was an apple salad and the apples were soft as though they had been boiled or rehydrated or something. The candied nuts were mushy (again confirming my suspicion it’s premade in the fridge for the week). The crab cake somehow tasted like nothing (not even crab). My dad’s risotto had no seasoning at all so it was a blob of mush at the bottom of his plate. My moms ribs came out on this tiny plate with the ribs stacked on top of all the fries to the point where she couldn’t get them without eating half a rack of ribs. I’ve had left overs that friends shared with me and it was the same flavorless mush that I experienced at the restaurant. It’s obvious this chef does not seek good ingredients nor do they know how to season food.
The only reason it has a good rating is the atmosphere is nice. I recommend this as a good bar. Great service and atmosphere, just HORRIBLE food.

Great service and tasty food. Our Server, Billy, was excellent. My Hubs needs gluten-free, and there were plenty of choices. We will be back!

My husband and I went to Robert’s Block for the first time last night to celebrate my birthday. It was an absolutely fabulous experience. The atmosphere is fun and lively without being too loud. Service was quick and our server was so so friendly. I wish I remember his name, but he said “awesome sauce” at least two dozen times and I loved him for it. I had the duck and it was mind blowing. My husband got the pork chop and loved it. Since it was my birthday, the waiter brought out some complimentary ice cream and sang to me (discreetly, not like Applebees) and it was so sweet. We will absolutely be returning again. It was perfect.

Went with a group of friends and family post- wedding bar crawl. The staff was friendly and on point. The food was delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, everything was fantastic. Will definitely make it a stop on my trips to the area.

**Food- had a Glenside Burger? with a Cesar side salad. - it was good but zero seasoning, so that was very disappointing?. Patty had no flavor! I did ask the server if she could ask the cook to season it too.. ??♀️ adding salt after its cooked, it's not the same.
Cooked to the temperature I requested, which is not always the case everywhere. Thanks for that!
**Service- bar area... slow. (Sunday night and it was not busy)
**Atmosphere- great! Very nice bar amd seating area. Outdoor section available as well.

The wait staff was accommodating for our party, and once seated our service was fantastic. There is a variety of mixed drinks and beers to choose from, with a solid food menu. Stick with some sandwiches and burgers, or ipt for larger plates like duck and steak.
Parking: The station near by does have parking, closer by there are permit numbers in spots, so wasn't sure if those could have been used for patrons. Additional paid and free street parking fairly close by.

I really love it here! A great and varied menu and everything is pretty good. I really loved the beet salad and the filet sandwich. All of the desserts are awesome too!! And a great patio for outside seating!

Spent a delightful evening on the patio at Robert’s Block. A sweet duo - keyboard and trumpet - played light jazz standards at a volume that could be enjoyed but didn’t prevent conversation. I enjoyed the enormous portion of fish and chips - couldn’t finish it and not because I didn’t try - and a Heineken 0.0. Really appreciate that they had several zero proof options! Wait staff was top notch and the setting ideal for enjoying good food and time with friends. A must when in Glenside!
