Salmon and Caesar salad were really delicious. The meatloaf looked impressive but was rather bland. Delicious biscuits.

Meatloaf is incredible. Love this place so much. I would visit this place again and again. Went to see a show at the Academy of Music and walked over to get a cocktail and they were willing for us to wait for the place to serve dinner at 5.

I had the french onion meatloaf with mashed potatoes, carrots and biscuits. The food was very tasty. The potatoes were barely warm, butter on top did not melt. Server was not around; she was very busy with other tables. My reservation was at 6pm for Wednesday; location was VERY LOUD. Very difficult to other people at table.

my boyfriend and I enjoyed a lovely dinner there Saturday night. I was happily surprised that we got a reservation easily on OpenTable. I had the Salmon, which was perfection, and he had the wings, which he felt were too spicy. You never would have known, since he ate most of them! we split the banana cream pie, which is a must. best dessert I've had in years! I'll be telling my friends about this place!

The food was good. Both of us enjoyed our entrees. The problem with Bud & Marilyn's was their server, Dakota B (as written on the check). Dakota was unfriendly from the beginning. She did not introduce herself or even say hello to us. Her whole attitude toward us was miserable and dismissive. She obviously did not want to be serving us or anyone. I brought her poor customer service to the manager on duty. He was a waste of time. He just gave me the usual “we've never had a complaint about her before.” Well, guess what? You do now. Dakota and the manager need more customer service training. I pay good money to be treated well when I dine out; especially at an upscale restaurant. Dakota B, the manager on duty, and Bud & Marilyn's all dropped the ball. I won't be back and I won't recommend. (05/20/2025 @ 6:10 PM Table 36).

Dinner at Bud & Marilyn’s was overall unimpressive. I had the fried chicken, which tasted okay, but there was not much meat on the pieces provided. The included biscuit was extremely dry. The selection of sides was only two items, and neither appealed to me. The funfetti cake was the highlight of the meal, it was tasty and huge! The upholstery on the seats could stand being replaced.

The restaurant is dark and loud. I ordered fried chicken, which is their speciality, and it was overcooked and dry. My son's food was very good. Service was great.
Our hotel was nearby so we walked over. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. I ordered the Lettuce Cup appetizer that is big enough for an entree for one person. It was one of the most delicious and creative dishes that I have ever had. We next ordered the Fried Chicken and this is where things really went downhill. The crust was not seasoned at all and the white meat was over fried to the point of being inedible. The dark meat was properly fried but was tasteless. I added nearly the whole bottle of hot sauce just to give it some flavor

Food and service is always amazing. A little dark inside when the sun goes down, but still nice

Exceptional food! It’s eclectic soul food from all over the world

Food: Order the Grilled Shrimp Benedict, which comes with a side of potatoes, which was savory and filling! The potatoes were a little on the burnt side, so they were not my favorite. The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with whipped cream, strawberries, and basil, on the other hand, were so amazing! This could satisfy your sweet tooth without being too sweet. They also serve a very large serving, so this alone could be a brunch meal.
Atmosphere: Popular spot and brunch destination - great lighting, excellent service, and friendly people!

I cannot explain how impressed I was with this restaurant. It was under our hotel so we decided to give it a try and it way surpassed our expectations! It’s comfort food but kicked up so many notches! The fired cheese curds are other worldly, the perfect texture and flavor. Everything we tried was impressive, this is high on my list for any trip to Philly!
