My wife and I were starving after spending the afternoon walking all around nearby Longwood Gardens. We initially planned to have dinner at the restaurant, but our GPS led us to the adjacent sports bar with the same name. We were seated at a high-top table near the bar and greeted by our friendly server. The menu was similar to the restaurant (I think), but regardless, we were looking for pizza and a beer. They offer two styles of crust: NY-style and Neapolitan. We ordered a cheese pizza with the latter wood fired crust. Our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was fine. The crust was not as light as I thought it should be. The pie was a good size and plenty for both of us. Service was great the entire evening, and we enjoyed our meal. read more

I visited Giordano's recently after a lovely visit to Longwood gardens. It was a Saturday night and what I first noticed upon walking in was that the place was dead, so many open tables. I wasn't sure what to make of it as I would have expected a full house on a Saturday night. I'm going to start with a few opportunities. First, the initial glass of water I was brought was not clean. There was literally some food on the side of it. Second and keeping on the topic of water, the waiter did not come back to fill empty glasses of water. Next, I was looking forward to the tomato garlic bread but it was hard when I but into it. Finally, my counterpart ordered a burger and after eating about half of the burger, each bite was like biting into a pallet of salt. It was like someone accidentally spilled a salt shaker so he obviously couldn't finish it. On the positive side, the place was quiet which was nice, the manager (or maybe it was even the owner) when we asked for more water bought us a carafe so we didn't run out again (which I love), and also when we left I accidentally forgot my takeout container on the table and again the manager (or owner) ran out after us to get it to us which I appreciated so much. Relative to the food, it was average (minus the salt side of the burger which was not good). The soft pretzel appetizer was good and I had lasagne which was decent enough. I will say it was a huge lasagne portion (two squares)! Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back with so many other options. read more

Don't let their mention of a Happy Hour fool you. It consists solely of a buck or two off a drink. There is no happy hour food menu. Even the waitress was embarrassed to tell us that. These owners need to get out and visit other establishments with bona fide happy hours. Maybe then they'd have more business. Food is mediocre. Brussels sprouts were too hard to eat. It might be the place for watching sports because they have TVs everywhere but that's about it. read more

Well, we went back from our last disappointing visit. We were there around 2:30 and the place was dead!! We had cheesesteak and fries and a small salad with 5 wings. Cheesesteak could have been hotter but the fries were great and my wings were messy but hot and delicious. Service was a bit slow since we were the only ones! But server was very nice. I hope new owners are doing better! The place is clean and tastefully decorated! read more

I just left Giordanos... I have NEVER given a one star review....we were seated and I watched a table of four be seated after us... they were given water .... Their orders were taken.... The tables around us were all being tended to. I gave the situation 10... yes 10 more minutes.... I asked to speak with the manager. She said "Oh I'm sorry." Now sitting at LaVerona (my first choice but thought we hadn't been to Gio's in a while). Just not the same GIORDANO'S .... Sad face. read more

Always enjoyed meals and takeout from Giordano's. However, our last take out meal was poor. Ordered the chicken caprese sandwich and the chicken tenders. Both meals came with lukewarm fries. Chicken caprese was adequate and didn't have the same flavor as past orders of this sandwich. The tenders were down right awful. The chicken was processed and formed into the shape of a tender with no chunks of chicken. Coincidentally, I enjoyed chicken tenders the next day at Ryan's in Manayunk which were quite good, reminding of how bad the ones at Giordano's tasted. Our meal was ready for pick up at the time stated when ordering. There were ample fries for both meals. Tenders meal came with a small side of cole slaw. Pricing seemed somewhat reasonable for a take out meal. I would probably try something else at Giordano's because this wasn't typical of past experiences. I'm just wondering if the new owners of the restaurant are tweaking menu items which may impact quality. read more

I'm honestly surprised by some of the negative reviews, because we're regulars here and always have a great experience. We usually sit on the sports-bar side, where there's always something going on in the evenings, whether it's a game, trivia, karaoke, you name it. The bartenders are fantastic: super friendly, attentive, and always helpful. The place is much bigger than it looks, gets buzzing on a good night, and is set up perfectly for watching sports. The food is consistently really good. My go-to is the personal cauliflower-crust pizza, but the regular pizza is excellent too. The appetizers never miss, and they usually have great specials. My wife swears by their chicken Alfredo. On the rare occasion something wasn't perfect (maybe twice in two years), they made it right immediately. Definitely stop in and give them a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

The food here was alright, personally really enjoyed the pasta. The service was top notch, the waitress was calm despite our big party and was on top of everything. Even got ourselves some Shirley temples. The place was absolutely amazing. This location is huge! We were seated on the Deck, and it was very enjoyable. I came here on a class field trip, and we were not disappointed. Definitely will bring my family here. read more

Our Daughter had a bother school event down in the Philly area so we tried out a new place, well the staff were very polite and got us seated right away, food came out fairly quick and was good. The portions were plenty and we took home enough for another person. Only complaints were a waiter had his butt crack hanging out very unsightly, and the bathrooms could use some attention as they are dirty and no toilet paper in the women's. read more

Decided to check this place out after a visit at Longwood Gardens. We had a party of 6 and were seated immediately on a Saturday night evening. Our waitress was super nice and gave us recommendations given it was our first time at the restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered mozzarella sticks and loaded tots. Both were delicious! For entrees, we ordered the chicken parmesan, cheese pizza, stromboli, buffalo wings, and chicken alfredo. The portions are SO large. Even the wings are huge. Everyone at the table had leftovers. Wasn't a huge fan of the garlic bread served with the pastas (would prefer it without the sauce) but everything else was good! read more

We could not have had a better experience at Giordano's! They hosted my partner and I's engagement party and the entire experience was fantastic. Nicole was an excellent and attentive planner, they gave us excellent food for a reasonable price for a 35 person party, and the Bar Manager (Dan) was fantastic. He was funny, kind and made sure myself and my fiancé were looked after, hydrated and fed. We ordered from the catering menu and really enjoyed the buffalo chicken dip, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks and pretzel bites. read more

This restaurant has been a really special place for my family for years! It is somewhere I grew up going and it never disappointed.... Until now. They recently changed owners and changed the menu, and honestly it's not as good and it got pricy. The biggest disappointment is that they got rid of their incredible breaded mushrooms. The food was decent, just disappointed in the changes to the menu. The service was still good, the restaurant was clean, I honestly think the issue comes from the new owners not the staff in the restaurant. The new owners shouldn't have messed with a good thing... read more

We love coming here to watch our football games! The apps, pizza and salads are delicious. We've always had great service too!

We live about a mile from Giordano's so decided to take out. We ordered a cheese steak(excellent), spaghetti and meatballs (excellent) and chicken parm sub (excellent). We also ordered a pizza which was the only way to describe would be a very below average frozen pizza. How they in good conscience charge $18 for this gross imitation pizza I have no idea. Go there for the other food but by no means try the pizza. Cmon Giordano's you have to try a little bit to charge that kind of price! I want a refund for this "pizza". read more

Decent sports bar Italian joint...I wouldn't call it a home run, but a solid double! Antipasto salad was decent but was essentially a roll of lunch meat over salad. They should probably visit Mrs. Robino's in Wilmington to learn how that salad should be presented. Beer was cold...bogo pasta night is a home run for this joint! read more

Friendly service and decent bar quality food. Their Philly cheesesteak was very good. You can't go wrong with a place like this. They seem to be know for their pizzas rather than their other dishes, so if I was coming back I'd try one of those. read more

First time back to the small bar next to the restaurant for a beer, light meal and a few innings of the Phillies. We were very pleased with the ice cold drafts, bowls of wedding, and mushroom soup, and a larger than expected personal pepperoni pizza. We sat at the bar, and our bartender/waitress was very attentive and delight to talk to. We will be back again shortly! read more

Excellent service and delicious food, I highly recommend. It's been great time and will visit again.

On our way to pick up a Shire horse in New Jersey, we stopped off for pizza (10-12-19). First, this is NOT the Giordano's Restaurant chain from Chicago - it is totally different! They do not have the authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza you get in Chicago! We ordered the Grilled Seafood Pesto with Roasted Peppers. It had really good flavor. The crust was just crunchy enough that you could hold the piece in your hand without it falling over and dumping the toppings down your arm! I have a feeling that this is a good place to watch a game, any game, and drink beer and eat pizza. Most Sincerely. read more

Our family are pretty big fans of this establishment. We typically dine in here, our kids really like the French fries and chicken fingers, along with the Mac and cheese. The kids menus double as a coloring paper which is always a nice touch. Portion sizes are pretty large, my wife and I usually split and AntiPasta salad and sometimes we indulge in the cheese steak egg rolls. Comes with three huge egg rolls, with a ketchup and relish dipping sauce which is brilliant. Highly recommend. Today like a few times in the past we got take out, which is great. Separate entrance and everything. Really happy with the wedding soup and chicken Parm. Only thing I have left to do os go sit at the bar upstairs. Hard to believe I have been here dozens of times and never have set foot upstairs. There is a bar there right? One day I will venture there and my experience here will be completed! read more

Lunch was overpriced. Two sandwiches $60. New owners lost my business. $6.00 for a NA beer. $14 for a glass of wine. Wow. How do you spell greed....Giordano's. read more

Here you will find the a pleasant atmosphere, full bar TV'S for your sports desire. Good place to be for the Eagles games and any of the other Philadelphia teams... friendly good service, bartenders tend to be on the ball never letting your glass stay empty for long... and the FOOD you can consistently count on to be delicious. I have had much of the menu over time. It's all GOOD. Favorites : mushroom soup, the pasta here is housemade...mussels in garlic, chicken and veal dishes, Cheesesteaks, subs all of sorts and the pizza almost always order one to go especially the gourmet sausage, long -hots with broccoli rabe yummy. Most of the menu is a winner you can not go wrong. They have two sections so they are great for large parties, families or just one theres plenty of seats around each of bars. also parking available too. I've been coming here way before YELP was around. This place needs to be on your map, it you are ever in the area make it point... Also have take out, so call ahead, pick up on your way ...then you can experience, the experience read more

5/7 went to dinner with my daughter and her family (4 small children) Service was slow,crayons were given to the kids but they were unable to provide paper. Really?? Then my son in law asked for a birthday cupcake for my daughter to celebrate her special day...NO CUPCAKE was ever delivered. Nor an explanation As I stated 4 small children were with us, so obviously my daughter doesn't get out very often but today this should have been a delight for her.

"You are going to love this place", Lion said excitedly as we drove away from Longwood Gardens. OK, well, we'll see. I'm a Philly city girl, I have definite strong opinions on cheesesteaks, you know. Open mind and empty belly, we head in. The restaurant has two entries - one, an upper entry, that is to a sports bar, and the other, on a lower level, to the restaurant. If you couldn't guess, the property is sloped somewhat, and the parking lot, while busy, was big enough that we were able to find a spot close by the 'lower' entrance. The restaurant is definitely going for the "80s" vibe, lots of glass block partial walls and a red-and-tan decor, very open, tile floors. Even though we were on the restaurant side there were plenty of flat screen TVs hung high on the walls so that no matter where you sat you could watch whatever sports were on. They're not so obtrusive though to dominate the experience, and we largely ignored them. Our server came promptly, delivered menus and took our drink orders. We decided on the soft pretzel appetizer. I got the pizza steak, as I've been craving one and my eye kept going there on the menu. Lion got a cheesesteak with (gasp) American cheese. You can't condemn him too much though, he grew up in Chester County. I am, however, slightly worried at what could come of a place that thinks the best cheese is American? The pretzels were quite good, nice balance of salt and savory, soft in the middle, with a jalapeño cheese dip and a mustard dip. Neither dip appealed to me, however Lion gave the jalapeño cheese dip two thumbs up. Our sandwiches arrived, they were both quite substantial in size and meat, these are not skimpy. The fries were fine, nothing exciting. Now here's where I am glad for the open mind: The pizza steak was very very good. One of the best I've had. Nice balance of sauce, mozzarella and meat, and the roll held it all nicely without falling apart. This really makes up for the "American cheese" decision on their standard cheesesteak. We finished off with a piece of peanut butter pie which was quite nice, nothing extraordinary, a solid offering. Service was generally good, trailed off a bit but nothing that caused us a great deal of concern. Of course I'll be back, and I'm getting the pizza steak again. Soon. read more

I'll give credit where it's due. Giordano's has done a complete 180 from my last post. I always give places a second chance and they have turned things around. Chicken parm is actually better now then it was before. Pizza back to same quality and soups ate back on track. Thank you gios staff for the improvements. Keep up the good work. read more

Long, long time customer of Giordanos and recognize that the restaurant changed hands about 2 years ago and the food results have been spotty. Recently, ordered for pick up 3 pizzas, which were tasteless even though the toppings were generous. Decided to call and speak to the manager, but she was busy so I left my name & number, but unfortunately received no call back. Our guests ate 2 of the 3 pizzas, but with the underwhelming taste we threw the last one away. I was calling to ask if they changed pizza ingredients and to mention our experience, but after reviewing others reviews I guess she was tired of responding to dissatisfied customers. This was our go-to place for pizza and Italian entrees for 37 years. Also got boneless wings which were more like chicken tenders-not good. So sadd! read more

Service was accurate but food quality and size of pizzas have changed. No value for the buck. Only got pizza and fries too.

I have really strong feelings for this cheesesteak but I didn't get that 'butterflies in my stomach' feeling when I was with it. This cheesesteak has a lot going for it. The roll was big but collapsed enough to be edible and still hold in all of the melted cheese. Good amount of cheese and it was melted throughout the whole cheesesteak. Fried onions galore. Very good extras, mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. It lacked flavor. I kept waiting for it and it never came. I was very surprised all of the fried onions didn't give it more flavor. The cheesesteak did come with French fries but it was over $12. Overall it was a good experience. The bartender could not have been more helpful. read more

We have been big fans of Giordanos for over 20 years. We frequently dine-in, take out and order catering for business lunches. We stopped in for lunch on Sunday and had the rudest server I think I have ever experienced in my life. I won't get into specifics but my family was shocked at her behavior and rude comments. The following day my husband had a catering order to pick up for a business lunch and they said they didn't have any record of his order. He asked to speak to the owner to discuss the issues he had experienced over the past few days and was told that the Giordano family sold their business to a hospitality group and are no longer involved in the restaurant. It's a shame because it isn't taking long for the new owners to destroy the Giordanos name and reputation. I know we won't be going back. read more
