Service was good and there are specials to be had (our server told us about them) along with a full bar. We sat in the enclosed area heated by a few ceiling heaters that were suitable with the thin walls. Be warned in very cold weather it still stays a bit colder out there, but I wasn't really bothered by the temperature. A couple of my friends did say their feet got chilly.
We didn't wait long for a server to come over after making our way through a relatively crowded bar area. Noise level wasn't bad for the amount of people in there, but could reach levels where you had to raise your voice to be heard.
The establishment is loud friendly and there is a friendly atmosphere within. They can accommodate larger parties on their covered seating area, which also sports a bar.
Food is 'bar food' with a leaning into PA Dutch, as shown by the PA Dutch platter (ring bologna, cheese and additional red beet eggs) as well as perogies on the menu.
The burgers are thick and delicious with a slip you fill out to put the toppings on (their is an option for even peanut butter and jelly) and holder selection. I also tried their special, meatball grilled cheese, which had some tomato sauce in it, which was very tasty. Fresh cut cheese fries were good, coming with a cup of cheese sauce.
Sangria was good, leaning on the dry side, so if you're thinking really sweet try one of the mixed drinks.
Recommended, if you don't mind walking through the crowded bar area (there can be a big lack of space if you venture through it) and want a very good burger and families welcome. The summer time (it is December Im writing this) will probably have the more open areas a bit easier to access. Im a huge fan keeping local businesses around so make sure to stop by and give some love, you won't regret it and may find a new place to go!

The owners of this place are disrespectful and don't deserve to own a business wanting to call people belittling names and more. I do not recommend this place at all.

Great food. The deck is the place to be for food, drinks, and Philly sports. Live acoustic music often.

I came with family Friday night. Never been before but always heard good things. We decided to sit outside with it being so nice. A musician was outside singing. Certainly not an American Idol winner. But his speakers were turned up to the point of over modulation and I couldn't hold a conversation with my family sitting next to me. Everything else was great but I suggest management hire someone who can carry a tune and not just shout country songs hoping the crowd is too sloshed anyway to notice the difference.

The food is consistent as is the service. This time I had the southwest salad with crispy chicken, my husband the Nashville hot sandwich, with the cheese curd app. The last time we had wings and artichoke dip. Their wings are some of the best around.

Was never there before. Very friendly staff. Food was good. Service was fast and efficient. We were the only ones inside for my husband feels some type of way about outside and flies. We could have easily been forgotten about but the bartender, hostess, and even the cook acknowledged us and attended our needs. Well done 👏.
