National Mechanics Bar and Restaurant

Food was delicious! Service was friendly and kind. Do take a sweater with you when it is cold out.

Visiting Philadelphia for the first time and went to National Mechanics based on the tour guide's recommendation. So happy we went as the food was delicious! Best cheesesteak we had! Service was amazing by Lawrence, who handled the busy crowd beautifully. Great music and vibe! Highly recommend!!

Our server was amazing. Made for a great place to watch the eagles game with friends, decent pricing

The food was decent and server nice. My issue was I'm not trying to have controversial politics presented to me as soon as I walk into a restaurant. This was presented to us via a poster as soon as you walk in as well as when they give you your check.

Our group struggled to get beverages and food served in a timely manner, they were clearly understaffed with just two servers and two runners for the restaurant. The food was good, but points were lost as we had to flag down our server several times to remind them about our drink orders. We also did not know it was karaoke night and the music was not great and really loud.

Came in for some a shared lunch late on a Friday afternoon. Soon after placing our order we realized the happy hour menu would be in effect in 5 mins. Luckily we were able to cancel the shared lunch and instead got a few HH apps. Historic venue. Not packed. Waitstaff/bartender very nice Right around the corner from our hotel. Easy peasy

We were staying around the corner and arrived at 6ish, Saturday for a light supper. The place was quite full, but thinned out after some game on TV ended. Enjoyed our cocktails, empanadas, and fried dilly beans. Friendly Staff.

Ate here with my mother before a show at the Arden and it was PERFECT. We arrived at noon and the restaurant was quiet, but filled up fast. Despite that, we got our food very quickly and the service was amazing. We shared the nachos, and LET ME TELL YOU - these guys layer their nachos. There's not a few sprinkles of cheese scattered on top with dry chips underneath. NAY. The cheese was everywhere and on every chip. Perfect. We also got the fried green beans and they were crispy and delicious. A+ all around.

We had a group of 8. Two tables. Service was quick and so were the drinks both beers and cocktails. Dozen different apps. All good and well-made. The place is cool. Overall it's a great spot with a nice bar and good staff. Nice job!

The restaurant seemed like a nice place to eat. We were seated right away and brought water. We waited for quite a while before a server came to take our order, and I had to ask for a server. The food was ok. My son's chicken was pretty pink. The bathrooms were not nice at all. They could use a little TLC. The electric soap was out and they had a pump soap, but it was pretty empty.

Food was delicious and service was outstanding, not necessarily a given in today's world. Would definitely dine here again.

Superb local, pub style, very kind staff, the American cuisine we found good, Fast Service

Excellent beer selection and very good bar food (I had the Mexican burger which I would recommend). Was quizzo night so was relatively noisy but great fun.

We came for your Quizzo night and loved it! We have already made a reservation for next week. Our server was lovely and the food delish.

Historic building in Old City, once a bank, with an open floor plan, high ceilings and original leaded glass windows. A bit dingy and very noisy but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Food was nothing special but good- ribeye cheesesteak & crispy chicken sandwich- and reasonably priced. Our draft Guiness & Citrus mule were standard. Server was harried as it was busy on the 4th of July but still pleasant and courteous. There was a slight mix-up & we had a short wait for our food, so he comped our drinks! Thanks! (Wish I knew his name) Youngish crowd but also families. Would definitely go again.
