The food and the service was top notch!!!
Good food. Friendly but terrible service. Took forever to get silverware. One meal came pit 15 minutes after others. Water refills took forever. And they were not crowded. But they were nice!
National Mechanics was a great place to have a weekend brunch. Food and drinks were delicious. They have a nice menu full of brunch items to choose from, as well as a nice drink and beer selection. We enjoyed the Bloody Mary's and the mimosa's we decided to have a few since they really hit the spot. This is a place you should visit while in Olde City portion of Philadelphia.

The National Mechanics Bar and Restaurant offers a lively and inviting atmosphere 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. 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. The restaurant's location near historic sites makes it a convenient option for both lunch and dinner in Philadelphia. The affordability and overall positive dining experience are appreciated, although some guests have noted that service can be slow, especially during busy times.
