Service was excellent. Our meals after choosing from the vast menu was delish. Roast Beef Dip. Happy customers !“

“My friends & I (party of 10) met at Capone's on Sunday, March 24, 2024. We were set up in a room that made it very easy for us to talk with each other while we ate. The menu gave a lot of options for all of us, the service was outstanding, and we were not rushed. Most of us had never been there before, but we all agreed how much we liked it, & we plan to do it again.“

“I'm so late with this review, I know this, but I had to let you know what a wonderful job you all did on Superbowl Sunday. Food was great, ambience was chill and lively at the same time, but the service is what really stood out! I sat at the bar, and my bartenders were Monae and Aliyah (spell check), they were so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! That's not always easy to come by in bar/restaurants these days, but those ladies nailed it! Thank you for a wonderful time!“

“Taylor the best bartender they have!!! Always smiling and know what you’re drinking!!!“

“This was my second visit to Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, and my first time experiencing their happy hour—and it did not disappoint. The menu had a great variety, and I enjoyed both the drinks and the pork bao buns.

A standout “happy accident” was ordering the pretzel rolls with truffle butter… absolutely amazing. That alone is worth coming back for.

The bartenders were attentive and provided great service throughout our visit. We also tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay for me—the mustard base was a bit too strong for my taste.

Overall, Ripplewood is a lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and nice outdoor seating in the back. It’s a great place for drinks, small bites, and a chill evening out.“

“Unlike Dr G’s terrible take, I loved the wings and thought there were perfect. Not sure what bunk blue cheese is but their blue cheese was great as always. Started with the best wings and town and got the best cheesesteak in town. They also serve Garage beer which is also another big bonus. Always love coming here, friendly staff and amazing food!“

“Great beer and ambiance at the Fishtown location! The management and staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome! We’ll definitely go back the next time we are in Philadelphia!“

“It’s less fancy than you might think, but honestly, the prices here are unreal for what you get. We came on a weekday and it was pretty chill. Good drinks and a really relaxed atmosphere, totally worth checking out for a casual hang.“

“Excellent experience 10/10.“

“Had a good time watch the game and enjoying some beer!“

“Just a great place to eat and hangout!“

“First visit. Great food and super service. We will be back.“

“Great food and service. Patti was our waitress and was just fabulous.“

“Great food, Cold Beer! What more do you need?!?!?“

“Excellent now!!! Had sworn off years ago before new ownership took over and cleaned up the place! Just got around to trying again. Have been twice now so far. Delish food, super friendly staff, welcoming diner! And clean. Keep it up Andy’s, great job. Lastly and most importantly…Vanessa/Miss V is the best. Wonderful service, Miss V!!! Thank you.“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“We went to karaoke on Friday and it was an amazing time! Definitely check it out! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing DJ!“

“Came here on on a Thursday and my day was going horrible until I had dinner here. The food was okay the wings were good but the chicken in the salad was questionable. The highlight of my dinner was my server Tyanna and the manager my server was full of smiles and had the best attitude I’ve seen at a restaurant so far and the manager was nice enough to accommodate my meal because of my salad. I will be coming back to this place and sending my friends here for the excellent service thank you guys.“

“Great American Pub is fun especially when hey have live music!“

“We had a 90th Birthday Party for my dad there! The food & service were great. The staff was helpful & accommodating! Would highly recommend! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Not a busy night but Jennifer gave us a late date that we could make and we reciprocated by sitting down upon arrival rather than enjoying some bar time.The entire staff worked together to make it feel unrushed, and we had a much needed relaxing meal in a family environment.“

“I come here fairly regularly with my running group. This a great neighborhood bar, the owner is awesome and super friendly. The food is also better than you'd expect for a dive bar, but it still has the dive bar charm. This is easily my favorite bar up the hill in Manayunk“

“Expected a massive wait given the local buzz, but we were seated surprisingly quickly. The atmosphere was lively, maybe a bit too much for a quiet chat, but the staff managed the rush well. A solid option if you can snag a table without much fuss.“

“Castle Roxx is the spot where I randomly stumbled upon in my young 20s and I “remember” having a great night, but I recently went back during a bar crawl last Oct ‘25.

It’s just fun! There’s a spin the wheel, I ended up with a blowup pony, and more recently just had a good time. Worth it to go in a grab a drink or shot, then continue on with wherever the night goes!“

“Good local spot, friendly staff, pool table, music box. , good food“

“Love the atmosphere! Good food, great service! Fun place to be and celebrate!“

“Wow, what a find. Very good food and service by Demitrius was outstanding. I forgot my hat and he tracked me down two blocks away at the ice cream shop to bring it back to me! We will be back. We had Salmon BLT, Fish Tacos, and Hot Turkey Sandwich, all were excellent.“

“We recently hosted a surprise party at the 1750 Grill inside the Holiday Inn Kulpsville, and our experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They were flexible with everything we needed and even helped come up with solutions so the event could run exactly the way we envisioned.

One of the things we appreciated most was how they allowed us to use the room freely as long as we took care of it. They really let us “do our thing,” which made the setup and overall flow of the party so much easier and more enjoyable.

The space itself was perfect — private, with doors we could close so the event felt intimate and just for our group. Their pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and the quality of the venue.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend the 1750 Grill for anyone looking to host an event. The combination of flexibility, great service, and a private, comfortable space made our surprise party a success!“

“We showed up today a Steppys very skeptical because of name change. But all was good old Steppys. Michele the waitress was great, polite and professional, my service was perfect, my prime rib dinner was fabulous, so was the crab cakes, salad, mash tasters, and french onion soup. There was not even a wait to get in at 530pm. Been going here over 20 years and will continue.“

“Great fun and good. Would recommend this establishment for anyone looking to meet good people and have fun“

“A friend and I went to The Greeks to watch the Phillies game and one of the worker that was behind the bar were being RUDE to us. We were sitting at the bar and (not even) 4 minutes into the game. He come to us and said; if you guys going to sit here, you have to order, than he added, I’m being serious. My friend and I both know that, but he DID NOT have to be rude about it by adding “I’m serious” at the end of that statement. Before the game even started, I told the other worker that was behind the bar that I would order a few minutes into the game.“

“The food there is amazing my favorites are the pizza steak the cheese fries and the Parmesan wings“

“Wonderful, friendly Irish Pub. Ray the bartender is so amazing! Knows my name and makes a great orange Jameson and cranberry. We will be back!.“

“Pitchers is a spot I go strictly for shots in between bar hopping around Manayunk. I used to stay to grab 1-2 drinks since it’s usually me and my girlfriends. We came to a conclusion that it’s fun for a shot or two, but then to carry on since it’s more of a sports bar (nothing wrong with that!)

There are regulars and college students that go here which is cool. It’s a diverse group, but I’ve noticed more guys drink here.

The bartenders are quick and friendly, even when the bar is packed with people, they always seem to spot me grabbing their attention.

Drinks are cheap/inexpensive as compared to center city. I went in there and got two tequila sodas, only $12 for the two. I think when I ordered shots it only came out to around $25 for 4, but I’m not sure.

I’ve come in I groups of 4, and groups of like 15, fun either way!“

“If you are looking for a local divey bar this is it. Bartender was pleasant. There was a dart game in progress on the night we came. We were too late to order food but behind the bar and bar top seemed pretty clean. The booths near front entrance also looked recently re done. Even though we are not from the area- the regulars were welcoming.“

“I visited 123 Fayette Street in Conshohocken and was struck by the cozy, lively atmosphere—think rustic decor and a bustling crowd. The staff was friendly and attentive, though service felt a bit slow during peak hours. The Philly cheesesteak pizza was hearty, but portions felt modest for the price. Parking was tricky near the venue, but a few spots opened up after a short wait. A small suggestion: check out the rooftop for stunning sunset views—it’s a hidden gem!“

“One of our many favorite spots in Ambler. Hosted my birthday on New Years Eve. They were very accommodating. Great staff and atmosphere.“

“Fun place with very good food!“

“Fantastically fun atmosphere. It is the "must visit" destination in the area. Great food, drinks, and service. A good place to watch a game! The owners are incredibly dedicated people. You won't be disappointed.“
