Absolutely loved the Sundae. Potato chips and kettle corn must be in all of my sundaes going forward. The latkes were phenomenal - must order. The harissa broccoli was delish. The burrata and focaccia was a delightful favourite.The Caesar salad was overdressed and the croutons were too hard for my preference. The pepperoni pasta was exactly that - not the worst but it was something I'd make drunk in my kitchen at 3 am. Fries were meh.A solid 4 on the food front. Go just for the decor alone, feeling like I was in an 80s golf clubhouse. The pool table is cute and fun too.

So, we decided to check this place out before hitting up a comedy show at the Fillmore. Ended up arriving a smidge late, but they seated us pretty quickly, which was great. The atmosphere? It’s got this cool, elevated diner vibe—classy yet relaxed. Our waitress was super engaging and efficient, making the whole experience even better.I went for the MidKid Vieux Carre as my starter drink, and it was absolutely delicious. For my appetizer, I chose the salmon crudo, which was expertly prepared. A tiny critique, though: it had a bit too many mint leaves for my taste, which kind of overshadowed the other flavors. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the single patty hamburger. Honestly, it's one of the best burgers I’ve had in Philadelphia—nothing over the top, which made it perfect.For a second drink, I tried the nitro espresso martini. As for dessert, I couldn't resist the espresso martini ice cream float. Between the two, the float was my favorite—though next time, I might skip getting both. Overall, the place had a fantastic vibe, and I’m definitely keen to come back, maybe to try their breakfast offerings.

The vibes are here were great, loved the music. don’t usually eat burgers but this one i would come back for a thousand times. The fries were separate but they were perfectly seasoned and well salted. The sauce was really good i ask for 2 more? for my burger. First time trying latka’d hashbrowns,they were tasty. give this place a try!!

Loved this place. The food was so unique - a must try if you want delish yet different. The potato latkas were amazing - not what I expected at all. Fennel salad was so good!! Portions could have been just a little bigger, but it was compensated by really really wonderful pleasant and engaging staff!!

Very cute atmosphere. I loved the overall concept. The service was wonderful. They explained everything at the door and everyone was helpful behind the counter. We had the big pancake. It was very fluffy on the inside, but the edges were crispy. I wasn't a fan of the citrus/lemon flavor of the pancake (or syrup?) but I guess you never know until you try.

Cute spot, gets pretty packed! The breakfast sandwich was pricey, but a nice size. I felt like the bread used was way too thin though, and the sandwich falls apart while eating it. I wasn’t a fan of the orange zest on the pancake.

Excellent brunch and dinner spot in Fishtown. I have been multiple times (with partner for a date for dinner, with friends for drinks, with friends for brunch) and every time they impress. The Shopsin Club, pancake, and dinner items are all top notch, and the vibe is

Had high hopes for this place, but the sandwiches were pretty bland and average in my opinion. Got the Shopsin, Classic, and the Chicken sando and was highly underwhelmed. Was aesthetically pleasing, but it's honestly just a super thick sandwich with stacks of meat/protein in the middle. The hashbrown was just okay. Maybe I came on an off day, idk. Don't really see the hype with this place.

Man, this restaurant is the bee’s knees right here. The food was super flavorful and I had the rigatoni pasta with pepperoni along with the red tomato sauce for the main dish. I had the German red wine and a 6” bowl of Caesar salad piled 4” high for starters. Then came the espresso martini for dessert, with the chocolate, and vanilla ice cream that I shared with my date. The food was definitely worth the $153 total amount for sure. I can’t wait to try their breakfast/brunch! They have a pool table that I want to test my skills on too! Overall, I’ll give this place a 5/5 until this establishment gives me a reason to not rate it that.
