The food and the service was top notch!!!
My husband and I went for an early dinner on a Saturday. Service was great - I had an amazing jalapeno pineapple margartita and my husband had a mocktail. Food came out quickly and was super yummy. It's a lively spot in Old City with awesome food and service.
Amazing brunch/morning overall! Made reservation for 12 with no issues and no limited menu like most other places with 8 or more people.

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.
