I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast here during a recent work trip. The eggs Benedict were a standout, especially impressive for an airport restaurant due to the perfectly poached eggs. While the spinach wasn't quite to my taste, the overall meal was excellent. Service was also top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a quality sit-down breakfast!

A true iconic restaurant to enjoy an extended layover. Was very impressed with service and the quality of the food.

Atmosphere was laid back, lower light and great bar area in the middle. Loved the seventies music and the atmosphere. The salmon was fantastic. Great taste and quality. Loved the food. The beer selection was the main problem as they only had common beers that you could get anywhere. and the one good custom type beer that they offered, like backbone, was out. Servers at the bar were supposed to work together, I guess, because rarely saw my original server. I had to ask others for water refills when completely empty. But the servers were very nice and friendly.

Salmon and Caesar salad were really delicious. The meatloaf looked impressive but was rather bland. Delicious biscuits.
Great preshow spot. Great cocktails and food was great. Sit at the bar to take advantage of the happy hour deals
One of our favorite restaurants in Philly. Great atmosphere, fantastic food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.
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!
This was an amazing restaurant located in the Philadelphia Airport. The food was phenomenal and the customer service was outstanding I wish there were more places like this establishment and other airports.

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).
