    Tomahawk ribeye
    Status K.

    Split the tomahawk ribeye with a Buddy and it was delicious. Great happy hour for and drink specials. Staff was super friendly, great place to hang if you're in Rittenhouse Sq.

    French toast
    Madison R.

    The chocolate chip pancakes for their brunch are the reason we tried this place. Let me tell you, my fiancé loved them, and he is picky about his pancakes/breakfast. He rated them a 9.5/10. For the French toast, it was really good but just a bit too sweet for me so I couldn't eat a lot of it. But the taste of the French toast itself was really good, I think I'd just ask for the cream on the side next time. We'll definitely be back for brunch!

    Royale With Cheese

    I love the look of this place! I have only been for drinks prior and sat at the outdoor bar. From what I recall, the bartender was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The food was good! Not the best burger I've ever had, but it's a good burger and the ambiance and service was great. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly! There's a pretty extensive draft beer list and a lot of whiskey/bourbon forward cocktails if that's your taste.

    Decided to come here for restaurant week last month with two friends. We like to try "new to us" places when choosing where to go. As we were following the hostess to be seated, we were blown away by how big the restaurant was! We sat in the last room in the back, which also had a bar in it. Service and food were good! We were all pleased with our picks from the restaurant week menu. I started with the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts appetizer (wonderful!) then had the short rib toast as my entree. Overall pleased with our restaurant pick! Cool vibe and the staff were all friendly and professional!

    Really enjoyed the night out at Butcher bar. The octopus was a little overdone, but the flavors were amazing! And the lamb was also excellent. I would say you can skip the sides. The garlic It's actually a great spot if you wanna go on a date, or hang out with friends. I'll definitely be coming back.

    FRIED BURRATA SALAD - $12
    Chris L.

    Second time! This time ordered on DoorDash. Got different things and glad I did because there are so many tasty options. Well packaged. Great place if you want to get multiple things to share.

    Monte Cristo sandwich
    David M.

    We stopped in at the butcher bar on a rainy Saturday. They had their brunch menu and I ordered the monte cristo sandwich. Stacked with smoked turkey, ham, Swiss cheese. Served with homemade fries and the raspberry preserve. This was a delicious sandwich but what made it unique was the raspberry sandwich. Truly different than anything I have tried on a sandwich and it was a right mixture of sweet and savory taste buds that didn't overpower the sandwich. The restaurant was nice we sat on the second level and it was a very lively place on a Saturday during the day. The class were and professional and made me feel welcome enough that I would go back again.

    Stuffed ravioli with sausage, pasta of the day
    Frances U.

    This is a really cute bar, very rustic, can easily be dressed up or down. Staff was lovely, food was served in a timely manner. Mixed reviews on food and drinks. The bone marrow is great, the smoked Gouda mac and cheese was great, and the pasta of the day was okay, it was stuffed ravioli that day. The lamb was a 2/10, do not recommend at all. I personally didn't think octopus was well made but my friend thought it was okay. Only 2 people at the table drank and both are bartenders, and they gave okay drink reviews. I'll be back for a second try though, never try any place once! It's good for groups as well!

    I went during Restaurant week because of the extensive menu offered for $40. With three courses and in the first, you were able to choose from five items the same for the entrée and two for dessert. When you walk you encounter a spacious bar with a friendly staff and great drink options. There's a lot to choose from here even if you're just stopping in for a drink. I got a citywide was a good bang for my 7 bucks. It was three of us. We all chose something different and did a taste testing. The Korean cauliflower got rave reviews and the smoked chicken wings were good not great. As for the Eye tray, I chose the Nashville hot game hen. It was pretty good The ribs were tasty not dry and very meaty. Then there was the 8 ounce steak which was cooked perfectly and I must say 8 ounces is a lot for a $40.00 3 course meal. The ambience is a little dark but it is a bar. The upstairs dining was very nice. You could see out of the open window down onto the street. Would I go again? Yes with or without Restaurant week.

    New to the city so thought I'd start a yelp, and with the my first stop i was very pleased. I am definitely a quantity over quality guy, I like a lot of food. When dining at a high quality restaurant often you get less because less is more. I felt the size of the food was perfect. I left full, and it was also delicious. The food came out fast, the scenery was beautiful and well decorated. I didn't feel it was over priced. A great experience and am excited to go back for endless mimosas here soon. The waitress came, did her two minute check and offered us salt and pepper and after she walked away my girlfriend said "usually I ask for salt but this is perfect." (P.S. if you love fries, these fries are outstanding) Thanks Butchers Bar.

    Potato hash
    Jenae M.

    This is a quick and simple brunch spot! I typically lean more toward lunch side and get the chicken sandwich. Tried the potato hash and wish I could have took an order home. The flavor packed a punch and so much better than I expected. Bottomless drinks included which is always a plus.

It's a smaller enclosed back patio area with one long table, a long bar, and some wall seats. It definitely gets packed so get there early or be lucky to grab a spot. Staff here always good about making sure everything runs smoothly and it's a fun time. Their food options are pretty fairly priced and most are good picks. Haven't had everything personally, but the banh mi, bao buns, and kimchi fried rice are all decent. Crab rangoons, dumplings, and satay skewers were fine but I wouldn't get again and instead try something else. Drinks also good even at regular price. Fun spot for after work or with friends on the weekend. Thanks

I do think if I went on a day where it was packed, I would not have enjoyed it as much. The racing simulators are pretty cool! The chair shakes while you are racing in order to give it as much real effects as possible. As your driving/racing you have to pay attention to the guides on the floor in colors red, green & yellow signifying you to slow down on certain curves and turns on the different tracks. When you pay for a race, five rounds of racing is included. You can pick your level of difficulty for each round. I went with "rookie" for all of my five rounds and each track was different. It was neat not knowing what to expect each time you began and it was cool to know you could enjoy it even at the most basic level, which is rookie. The food was not bad, but I could've done without it. The fried chicken sand-which was kinda salty, but I was a fan of the truffle fries. The prosecco was good, light and extra bubbly (not pictured). I think the interior was very nice! Being that there was barely anyone, I got to capture some pics which was nice! I see this as being an arcade you enjoy, when it's not many people, as couples and with some friends. Not a place to frequent often, I think.

Crowd: Not too young and not too old. Drinks: Very good mixed drinks, limited generic beer selection. Food: Above average bar food. Restrooms: Clean. Parking: No parking, you are in Center City; used parking garage. Value: Average. Experience: Nice experience, especially for F1 fans, will return with my F1 fantasy group. Notable mention: The service here is top notch. Love the guys working the entrance, the front desk staff, the bartenders and the folks helping you with simulators.

Thank you to the really nice bartender in the orange hat (also a millennial) who grasps the concept of 'it's so loud in here' like it's not a nightclub. anyway the prices of the drinks were great.

It is not every place that earns an immediate return visit, let alone the very next evening. The music was good, the drinks were great, and the staff was super nice and friendly the entire time, which made the whole experience even better. The place was also really clean, and it never felt too crowded, which was especially appreciated with a group. There was room to actually enjoy ourselves without feeling packed in or shouted over. The rooftop was absolutely the crowd favourite and was so nice with the great weather. It really gave the whole place an extra bit of charm and made it very easy to settle in and stay a while. The location is also excellent, which made it a very convenient spot to come back to. Overall, this place delivered a thoroughly fun time, good drinks, and a very easy atmosphere to enjoy. We would absolutely go back and would happily recommend it.
