“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.“

“Nice hot healthy food, with great options for all.

We went twice during our stay in Philly, as it was affordable and healthy after eating cheese steaks for lunch

We choose the make your own bowls both times, with vegetarian options for the protein. There is a huge selection of vegetable sides, which all look great.

We recommend the Brussels sprouts, which are sweet and spicy and the mac and cheese is super cheesy and tasty

Portions are pretty big and the meals are very filling

The crispy tofu has a great texture and the chicken is also very nice and juicy

Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something healthy, cheap and filling“
