Cook & Shaker is back after renovations! This was my favorite local spot after recently moving here and I'm so happy to see it back open and better than ever! They still have the same amazing food, craft beer, and cocktails and the new space is huge and beautiful. There is 3 times the amount of dining space and the bar is twice the size now with 30 seats. There is also a huge new window letting in tons of natural light and sunset views, that's opened during good weather. Now with many huge tvs it is the perfect place to watch any sports game!
You'll come for the game and stay for the food and drinks:) I got the weekly Sunday 16$ dinner special that comes with 1 draft beer and 1 sandwhich. I got the cod filet sandwich and the dragonfruit mango sour draft beer. Both were phenomenal! The hours and menu is currently updated only on Instagram, as well as daily dinner specials posted @Cookandshaker. This is the new place to be in Fishtown so don't miss out! Reservations required for parties of 5 or more!!

I decided to check out this place based on the glowing reviews, but others are severely overselling it unless this is just the standard in Philly. As a transplant, I can’t understand the hype.
Staff was really nice and helpful. They great everyone who walks in, which does not seem to be the going rate in Philly.
I ordered the meatloaf special because it was recommended and I assumed I’d be coming back and could check out the menu then. It looked fantastic, so I was excited to try it. But it had a one-dimensional onion flavor to it, but at least it wasn’t dry. The potatoes that came with it were unseasoned and under salted.
As for drinks, the Smoke Show was phenomenal - interesting, well balanced flavors of mezcal, green chartreuse, and jalapeño with a maraschino cherry garnish. It was so good that I was convinced to try another drink. I was stuck between two choices, then the bartender said the Olde Richmond Punch was his favorite. I can’t imagine why. It simply tastes of whiskey and lemon - none of the honey nor rosemary came through. And I can see why if the rosemary incorporation was simply a few floating rosemary leaves. It didn’t taste bad, but it was nowhere near the caliber of drink as the Smoke Show.

Love it here! It has a very no frills, chill, and local vibe. There is something on the menu for everyone, and the wait staff and bartenders are generally friendly. My favorites are their salads, loaded tots, and pierogi and kielbasa!

The bartender and server were really nice. My friend had the garlic aioli with the tater tots and the green hot sauce. ? It was delicious and not incredibly spicy. I had the 3 cheese tortellini with chicken, and the sauce was very bland and acidic. I was not a fan! I would come again, though, and look forward to going in the future.

Quintessential easy access neighborhood spot. Food is always spectacular, they only hire great people to work the bar and tables. Food menu has an amazing cast of standbys with an eclectic variety of daily specials peppered in. Cannot say enough good things about this spot.
