You will REEK like smoke when you leave- No food of any knd-not even chips ..you can walk across the street to the Wawa...surprised they just dont go to BJS and sell a variety pack of snacks and make a few extra bucks. 1 or 2 "average" at best bartenders- I guess its good for smokers to have a place to go but they have a little awning covered front with chairs- I think if they went non-smoking like Buckets did they would reap the benefits and people could still go just a few feet outside and be covered from the elements. To be honest- I usually end up here becuase other places close early -I've never left my house as this as my first choice.

It's a small dive bar, nothing fancy, but me and a few of my friends from out of town, all in our early 30s, would go there to play pool and hang out. The old heads there always treated us with respect, and there are definitely some good people there. But things around it have taken a turn. To say there are "characters" would be an understatement. Some of the people in and around that place are straight up sketchy. I've had someone sell me a fake apple watch and get aggressive about it (mistake I made was letting this man in my car so I can make sure the watch worked and of course it turned out to be fake) but he was old and looked harmless... but when he mentioned a knife, I had to let it g as I have a new born son and I had already made a poor decision on hi behalf). And while the bartender I spoke to is a good guy and was right not to get involved, it still leaves you feeling like there's this unspoken "look the other way" culture. That doesn't sit right with me, it almost feels like it enables the wrong kind of behavior. To be clear, this incident did not take place in the parking lot of the bar, but it's the surrounding area which these morons typically come from. I saw a couple in their 50's screaming and fighting outside while kids were walking by with their dad getting ice cream. That's not something you want to see in your own neighborhood. Thats what college kids do open thirsty Thursdays It makes you wonder, if people are comfortable scamming and acting aggressive like that, what else is going on? Who else are they targeting? It's a shame, because there are good people there and it used to feel like a solid local spot. But between the behavior and the environment it's attracting, it's not somewhere I feel comfortable being anymore, especially with a family to think about. My god I cant wait to leave this town. And I am from the Bronx originally....

Prices are fair other than drink prices which were a little high. The food was delicious and had a nice appearance. The crab on the creamy linguini tasted surprisingly fresh as well. Every staff member was extremely polite as well. I will say, there were a couple individuals who appeared to be regulars that acted as if they were over served and when they left, the bartender said "I love you guys, have a good one," which was a little much even if it's for the sake of getting tips from regulars who aren't responsible enough to hold their liquor properly. The same patrons at the bar were also extremely loud which reminds you that it is a "bar" and not a fancy restaurant despite the amazing food and staff. The food and professionalism from the majority of the staff simply did not match the appearance of the workers who wore personal t-shirts which makes the whole experience feel a lot more casual despite the prices. Regardless we will be back due to the treatment from the staff and the great food!

It took a minute to get a table and then waited a little for a server, but once she came by and got the drink and food order, everything went very quickly. I had the falafel wrap, which was excellent, and it came with a side Caesar salad, also excellent. Good prices, too; the 16-ounce Miller Lites were only four dollars each. I'd definitely stop by here again when I'm in Glenside for a show at the Keswick. It's probably a good idea to reserve a table on concert nights. There were only two people in my party and they got us in, but it was very busy, so something to keep in mind for next time.

We went with the 20-piece Southern Country Garlic Wings and the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Overall, the flavor did not disappoint! The wings were incredibly delicious, packed with garlicky Southern flavor and served jumbo style, which was a nice touch. However, I do wish we had asked for them fried hard. The texture would've been much better that way. One small downside was the fatty bits left on the wings before frying, which made them a tad bit annoying to eat. At $26.99 for 20 wings, they were definitely on the pricey side. The Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls had a great crunch, but they were extremely small. Flavor-wise, they were decent, though I've had better. At $13.99, I expected a little more in size and portion. Despite a few minor critiques, we enjoyed our meal and appreciated the no fuss dinner option. Would I come back? Possibly, but next time I'm asking for those wings fried extra hard! Rating: 3.5

The decor in this place is confused but the food was excellent. We were actually surprised how good it was. You sit down and you can order the apps from a small screen right away. That's pretty cool. Get you started while you wait for your server. We got the hummus appetizer and that was truly amazing. Some of the best hummus I've had. My wife agreed. She hit the BLT club and garlic fries. She liked it a lot. I got the Ahi Tuna off the under 700 cal menu and it was absolutely delicious. So I would def go here again.

It's all so fresh and delicious and the server was really attentive. Highly recommend!

Extremely disappointing dining experience…read more The food was clearly not fresh. The crab had a strong, unpleasant fishy odor that made it impossible to eat. The Sichuan spicy hot pot base was even worse--it tasted very bitter and was completely inedible, nothing like authentic Sichuan flavor. On top of that, the service was misleading. We were told there would be a 5% discount for paying in cash, but no discount was applied in the end. Our total was $63.98, and even after a supposed $2.24 discount, the subtotal still remained $63.98, which makes no sense and feels deceptive. Overall, very poor experience in both food quality and integrity. Definitely will not return.

I made a reservation to be on the safe side since we were going on a Saturday night. The place still has a great feel and vibe to it - gives more elevated causal chic but not a super upscale. Just like last time, the food was really really good! It was their first time dining there - they didn't even know the place was there. But they enjoyed everything, form the food and drinks, to the service and vibe. We ordered a bunch of small plates to share amongst the three of us. Everything was delicious! Well seasoned, cooked perfectly, serves at the right temperature. And there were still a number of menu items I would want to try for my next visit. Though.it is actually much farther for my boyfriend and me, I hope we are able to come here again.
