I had a serious taste for a really good burger so I started googling good places in center city area. Came across this spot so me and hubby decided to have a date night out here. Got there and was greeted immediately. We were seated and looked over menu. They have a nice selection of drinks. The food menu was exceptional also. We both got burgers, they were smash-style and it was delicious. Catered to my taste buds so well. We really enjoyed the house burger sauce. Sent the burger to another level. The atmosphere was perfect for a weekday. I love the comfortable feel of the restaurant. Nice quietish spot when you just want good food, drinks and conversation. The tab was a bit pricey (to be fair we did order a few drinks and an extra burger because it was that good to us !) but it definitely was worth the evening me and my hubby wanted. We will definitely be back for sure.

Great spot to grab dinner and drinks. The staff is very friendly. The Bloody Mary was great, kind of a smoky flavor to it and a bit of spice. The wings were good as well, and definitely try the crab fries. They are currently checking vaccination cards of guests that dine inside.

Nice and quiet with an interesting menu with a couple different apps and drinks. I never had to wait long for our server. Only issues were the prices were a tad high and the seating was a bit cluttered.

Oh my god. Do not sleep on this place. The food is out of this world good!! It was some of the best food I’ve had in philly, at a place I didn’t expect. Bring friends and try everything because there isn’t a single miss on the menu
