National Mechanics Bar and Restaurant offers a lively and inviting atmosphere for diners in a historic building in Old City, once a bank. The restaurant features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and original leaded glass windows, creating a unique ambiance. The staff is described as nice and helpful, often providing recommendations for good beers. While some reviews mention that the food was nothing special, popular choices like the ribeye cheesesteak and crispy chicken sandwich are considered good and reasonably priced. The vegetarian burger and nachos with spicy chicken also receive praise. Although it can be a bit dingy and very noisy, guests seem to enjoy themselves. The restaurant's location near historic sites makes it a convenient option for both lunch and dinner in Philadelphia. While prices may be a bit high, the affordability and overall positive dining experience are appreciated. However, some guests have noted that service can be slow, especially during busy times, but the staff remains pleasant and courteous, making it a recommended choice for families and young crowds alike.
