50 Best American Restaurants in Philadelphia

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“If I could give 100,00 stars, I would. Service was incredibly friendly, down to us saying how much we loved the sauce and our server brought up a little side of sauce and another piece of bread just so we could savor the flavors a little longer. Each dish truly got better and better. This BYOB spot is a complete standout and you need to RUN HERE. Shoutout to our servers, Maggie and Mary, and Chef Ben for a memorable, absolutely delicious experience.“

“Do yourself a favor. Go to Bad Brother and order the ribeye! This steak was superb. Perfectly cooked, great presentation, mildly smokey. I can go on and on! The atmosphere at Bad Brother is comfortable and welcoming. It feels like you're dining at a friend's house. As I said, do yourself a favor. You'll thank me later!!“

“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!💖“

“Celebrated a friend’s 50th birthday Saturday night and came here for dinner at 7:30pm. The hostess was friendly and our server was attentive. We shared a bunch of apps and they were all delicious!! (Edamame, shrimp pad thai, chicken lettuce wraps, chicken satay, and brussel sprouts) After dinner we went up to the roof top which was the perfect ambiance for a girls night out… drinking espresso martinis and enjoying the weather. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“We were looking for a restaurant near CHOP after an appointment and White Dog Cafe came highly recommended by several people we know. Being a brief, 4 block walk, we decided to check it out on a beautiful May evening. It did not disappoint! Stunning architecture and adorable doggie related decor coupled with the farm to table quality food that was evident in everything we tasted made it a big win. We will definitely go again!“

“Randomly popped in on an early Sunday evening. The staff and food were amazing! Nick was fantastic!“

“Killer breakfast specials. Everything on the menu seems well-thought out and presented. Yummy place.“

“Great atmosphere, awesome service and the food is amazing. A must visit place“

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

“I have been a Mac Mart customer since they originally opened on 18th street. Their Barclay Basil Pesto Chicken dish is my kryptonite!
Just wanted to let everyone know who comes across their listing on Google Maps that the pin location is still incorrect. They are now located at a kiosk near 18th and Arch (the address in the listing is correct, just the pin is wrong).
Don't want to miss this place!“

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

“great burger, very tasty!“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“Everything was wonderful for my Birthday. Service was really on point.“

“Amazing place with amazing food! The fries were great and I recommend getting them with the Wiz. Unfortunately, we are from our of town, otherwise this would would be one to add to the rotation for sure!

The service was good as well as our waitress helped answer our questions and made sure we were always well taken care of while there.“

“I had patience waiting for my food. I wasn’t expecting it to be so delicious, let me tell you, the plate was clean after a few minutes. I fuljoyed everything about that place. The kitchen closes off at 1am and they close at 2am. I’m definitely going back. There are more options on the menu I need to try.“

“We were there for a private party wedding. My partner and I are vegetarian and there is not a lot on the standing menu that is vegetarian or vegan friendly. However, we notified our server and he said he would talk to the chef. With a couple of exceptions of things that they could easily modify from the standing menu, they essentially created an entirely new vegetarian menu for us on the spot. And it was really out of this world. There were so many great and interesting flavors. The staff and kitchen really went out of their way to make sure we were served delicious food along with the rest of the party. There were also two children at our table and they made accommodations to the menu for the kids as well. I would return to Helm in a heartbeat. I did not catch our server's name but he was outstanding.“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“It's hard not to enjoy the ambiance at La Croix overlooking Rittenhouse Square while in the background, there is live violin music. The Sunday brunch was enjoyable. We started with the devilled eggs, which had a unique, enjoyable undertone of saffron. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees, although I thought the hash brown in my Lobster hash brown was oily and flavorless. I think they missed the mark on dessert with the only true dessert option being a "make your own sundae". As it's a brand new brunch menu, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out. We would return!“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“I had an amazing experience at Dig Inn! The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was fast and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual meal. I opted for take-out, and everything arrived fresh and hot. The price per person was reasonable for the quality of the food. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal in a comfortable setting.“
