We definitely over-ordered but told plenty home for leftovers. For appetizers we ordered the pork belly bao buns and the Thai salad with shrimp. These are more entree size so be forewarned. The bao buns came in a taco server and had three buns filled with plenty of pork and a spicy aioli. The Thai salad came with 5 nicely charred shrimp and a Napa salad. This ate a little dry-I would have appreciated a bit more dressing- but I can see where more dressing might have made this a bit soggy. We would definitely order these again For entrees, we tried the burger and the chicken pot pie. The burger was a double patty with cheese, pickled onion, and a mayo based sauce on a sesame bun. I have to say I was happy to see that they opted out of the usual sad lettuce and anemic tomato that is typical of early spring. I think it was lacking some salt as it was missing something but overall was ok and served with crispy shoestring fries. The pot pie was topped with some puffed pastry and had a nice velvety sauce with hints of tarragon. Very nice. My dining partner finished my burger and took most of the pot pie and the side salad that came with it home. Even though my dining partner couldn't finish his regular entree, he wanted dessert. After looking at the choices the server suggested the seasonal dessert which was beignets with whipped cream, chocolate and strawberries. I was reticent but was happy with the choice because the chocolate dipping sauce (of which there was plenty ) was DELICIOUS! The beignets were fried puff pastry or croissant dough that one dipped in the warm chocolate fudge-y ganache and/or whipped cream. I ordered coffee which paired well with the dessert and it was delightfully fresh. Service was good, friendly and attentive. Decor is industrial farmhouse. Clientele consists of workers from the local courthouse up to about 6 pm when we saw families starting to file in. Nice place, good food, good value.

For food, we shared the fig and Brie toast and the Standard Sandwich, which came with cheesy eggs -- and you really can't go wrong with cheesy eggs for breakfast. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Gryphon Cafe. The food and drinks were great, the atmosphere was welcoming, and there was plenty of space to sit.

My friend ordered the gluten free cinnamon bun pancakes but was served a gf pancake that just had a cream cheese swirled on top of the stack. There was some cinnamon dusted on top but this is not what one would imagine when ordering a cinnamon bun pancake at all. Additionally the pancake was very dry and not a great texture despite looking like a normal pancake. It was bland and not exciting. I hope this place can work on their GF options to make them actually taste good. But for gluten eaters, this is certainly a great place to enjoy breakfast.

Do not park in the lot next to the building because it is for the US Postal Service and your vehicle will be towed. There is a parking garage around the corner on the corner of Walnut and Chestnut Streets. The cost is 25 cents for every 15 minutes. We ordered an Old-Fashioned with Woodford and a Blueberry Shaker. The Blueberry Shaker was only 3 dollars more than the regular drink and it yielded a total of 4 drinks for my partner. The drinks were good. For our meals we had the Steak and Shrimp Bourbon, Bourbon Street Burger, and a side Caesar Salad. Everything tasted very good. The decor is New Orleans Style although not completely authentic.

First, my girlfriend and I arrived to the restaurant. We requested a specific table, and the host was gracious enough to do so. We then waited 8 minutes before our table was even touched, and it was just our (server? No intro, nothing) ASKING us if we'd like water. We say yes, and then waited an additional 5 minutes just to receive water in PLASTIC cups. Again, this person never told us his name, and we weren't even sure if he was taking our order or not. He appeared to be about 18, and was most certainly high Then, we requested glasses, and since it had been 15+ minutes since we sat down, said we were ready to order when we got the glasses. The guy took our order. We both got cocktails, which also took about 10 minutes. Finally, our appetizer came. We weren't even halfway through before the entrees came, we probably had about 10 minutes to finish it. This all could have been negated if our order was taken correctly, and things could have been staggered correctly. The "two bite" check occurred within 30 seconds of our food being dropped, and by then I hadn't even touched my food. It was way too early and felt like he was just trying to get it out of the way. At that point both my girlfriend and I were just ready to eat and we said everything was fine. I had to ask the guy for a bag on the way out, rather than him giving me one after our food was put into 3 boxes. I want to be empathetic of whatever was going on at The Social that Sunday. Yet, if you are going to make your steak $42, the service needs to justify that price. I will not be going back to The Social, and encourage their management to speak to their server who flubbed the ENTIRETY of my experience there. Myself and my girlfriend both work in the service / restaurant industry, and we know what good service is. We also understand that there are bad days. This was just abysmal. 4/10.

Used to come here all the time. The bagels are good, but I can't bring myself to support this business any longer. If you want to eat here: The wife of the owner, Valerie, is very kind, funny, and efficient. Rob, the owner, on the other hand, did not create a comfortable environment. He would often talk down to his wife and the other employees, sometimes swearing and yelling, making a scene in front of customers. They microwaved the meats and eggs there, which wasn't the best. I had a friend who worked here, who said that they had to cook them in disposable styrofoam bowls, which often melted into the egg. Unrelated but also concerning, I saw two instances where a bagel fell onto the floor, and it was scooped up and thrown back into the basket for sale. If you want to work here: (According to my friend), Rob started out as a fair boss, and it was a pretty good job, as long as you can handle early shifts. You can keep tips too. His main issue was Rob's lack of flexibility for student workers. He does not understand or accept sick days, nor mandatory college conflicts, even if told far in advance. If he's in a bad mood or overtired, you can be sure he'll take it out on you or other employees, regardless of whether or not customers are present. He is also inconsistent with what he wants with each sandwich. He'll tell you to build a sandwich one way, then give different instructions the next day. This would be fine, except he got mad when my friend asked for clarification, but also got mad when the sandwich wasn't "done right." He kept the job for as long as he could because he needed the money. If you can handle miscommunications, inflexibility, and borderline verbal abuse, apparently it pays well. In short: eating here won't leave you terribly disappointed. Bagels are fresh, everything tastes good (even though the place apparently microwaves everything). If you're looking for a job near campus, though, keep looking. Not worth the stress. read more

When another customer complained, he cited a lack of help which I've heard him complain about on prior occasions but more help won't do anything if you won't cook the food. I also watched them serve up slightly warmed raw potatoes that sat on the grill for less than 5 minutes. The kicker is that after all that waiting, I bite into my sandwich to be surprised with the crunch of broken egg shells. Yuck!

I waited a bit in line because the customer in front of me was taking a while with a flying solo barista. Another barista noticed, and stepped in on the second register. Order was placed and everything came out within minutes. This turnaround is what I expect for a very uninvolved order. Get me out the door!!! They added a few sitting tables in addition to the awkwardly installed fixed bar stools around the perimeter bar. I wish they'd get rid of those. They're proportioned for people with the anatomy akin to NBA basketball players. As I was heading out, the parking lot was totally full and another car was circling about for a spot. The bagels themselves were fine, and not offensive by any means. I'd eat them again. I don't think they're out of this local Western Philly burbs' world special though... My taste buds didn't see the fuss and expectations set for this place by the business, and if this is how NYC bagels taste, I'd go to NYC now. Get it? Tasted like more like a different kind of NYS (state)...Wegmans bagels on their best days. Never the less, it's GOOD to have a bakery that focuses on bagels in PXV's rotation, versus having to head to Chesterbrook or the Main Line for a bagel. Hope they'll continue to improve their craft within the confines of local traditions and make locals see what they're missing without a NY-style bagelry around. With current state right now...not missing much. Edit: Appreciate the business's response and openness to continuous improvement. At this juncture, there wasn't anything WRONG (bagel burnt, not enough shmear, bagel odd, etc) with the bagels I recently purchased, but there isn't anything SPECIAL worth all of the commotion, either. The special is what the business was promising and setting expectations for. Up to the biz to bring their expertise here as table stakes operational issues are ironed out. Not sure what to ask for or provide feedback on. If shooting to bring NY style bagels, go to industry events or bagelries that offer teaching extensions to cross train/knowledge share. Look for mentorship.
