My group of friends went here on Sunday night of opening weekend. Everyone working here was super…read morenice, almost too many people working here for how small this place really is. It's located next to Heffe tacos and the food menu comes from there though you can order with your tab thankfully since otherwise heffe is cash only. My friends enjoyed their food, getting tacos and empanadas. My drink was tasty, it was a frozen margarita made without alcohol (essentially a frozen limeade slushy) and I understood it might come at the same price as the regular (it did). I would love it if they had a menu item specifically called out as a mocktail even for a dollar or two cheaper like many restaurants but I get it. The music kept dying out with the bluetooth speaker system they had going. It was a little loud at times but we were sitting right next to it. The DJ left when we came, so maybe that's a fun addition, wouldn't really know though. Unfortunately (and it was possibly our own mistake) we did end up accidentally double tipping (40%) so it was pretty expensive for this and a water bottle. My part of the bill came up to 22.40$ for the frozen marg ($13)+ water bottle ($3) + our accidental double gratuity. They do have automatic gratuity of 20% which I support, just make sure you really read the bill when they come around with the card reader you make sure the math adds up. We did feel comfortable hanging out for a while though considering all that. The vibe of it is cute, and we had a pleasant time underneath the canopy of the tree while it drizzled, they did move all our tables and chairs after they offered us better seating for a better vibe. The string lights are always nice. I might not visit again considering the other options around here but I can see how it's a great addition to the neighborhood and how friendly all the staff were. I'll check back on other yelpers experience though! They are still testing out the menu so it sounded like they were trying a couple different kinds of drinks, so maybe if you're here in the next week or so after their weekend grand opening check if there's anything off the menu.

The first time we were here it was GREAT! The photo is from that day. The rum punch was delicious,…read morewe were chatting with the bartender about how awesome it was since we missed a good tiki bar while in Philly. The fresh fruit on the drinks was great. She was super friendly and personable.... Unfortunately, we went back today for Labor Day and it was almost embarrassing. If you wanted a decent drink you needed to be a friend or say you were with with a dj, etc. We got another rum punch and it was straight yellow, no fresh fruit aside from a small green pineapple triangle..., it tasted like straight canned pineapple juice, was mostly ice. I didn't even want to drink it, let the bf drink it all. Like I said, unless you were a friend, etc, your drinks aren't gonna be great, it's a really cool "backyard" vibe until the service is meh. I hope it gets better next year, consistently, because it was really nice earlier this summer, but got way too lax as the season went on.

Skip the Garlic dip because it just comes with a bunch of crackers and not all that great. I have to say that their website cocktails menu looks a lot more interesting than the actual menus that were given to us. Compared to what's on the website, the cocktails list was very bland.

We were in my hometown of Philly for an overnight stay to see Nas and decided to kick off our evening here. I ordered the Everything She Wants smooth, balanced, and layered in flavor. My husband went with the Angostura Sour, which was perfectly crafted and delicious. We also couldn't resist trying the popcorn it was spicy with just the right amount of heat to give our night a little extra kick. The service was good, the music was low enough for conversation, and the decor was pleasing to the eye classic, moody, and true to the speakeasy vibe. If you're into elevated cocktails and cozy, low-lit hideaways, this place is a must-visit

First of all - don't even contemplate coming here without a reservation. It's insanely popular and…read moreI can see why. We had dinner reservations for 7:45 but got there two hours early because we really wanted to try out their happy hour. Huge selection of food for happy hour and delicious drinks. We waited an hour but were sat and immediately cancelled our dinner reservations because we knew it was about to go down. Fair warning - if you're approaching 40 like us, it's dark, it's loud, and you're sitting on top of people. It will be worth it. We had the double knot roll, spicy tuna roll, BAO, and some drinks. All 10/10. But the real star is the grilled meats. Specifically the scallion ribeye. We tried to take pictures of all of it but it was literally too dark in the restaurant. I would go back and just order ribeye skewers for the entire happy hour. They don't take happy hour reservations but get there early. It's the best.

It feels like a converted cellar lit with candles, very vibey and romantic. Only thing I would say is it's pretty dark so if you have bad eyes it makes it hard to keep reading the menu to make your selections, so preview it off you know you are doing the tasting menu. The food was really good, and everything was presented well. The service was outstanding, the staff was attentive professional, and very patient. Stand out dish was grilled scallops. My table loved the fried rice. Enjoy your meal!!

5 stars for Bud and Marilyn's? I recently gave The Love 5 stars for its fried chicken!…read more The Marilyn's Fried Chicken I had this evening was every bit as good! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome, and we loved all the different spaces to relax and hang out with your pup. Grab a seat around the bar beneath the massive tiki hut, lounge on the comfy couches, or unwind outside on the lawn near the waterfall and firepit. Their food and drink menu is huge, making this a great spot to settle in for a fun meal in a truly unique setting. Our server, Lacie, was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better with her warm hospitality and delicious drink recommendations! We highly recommend the White Gummy Snack, a tasty white gummy bear-inspired shot, and the Bursting Star, a sweet pink Starburst-themed drink that totally lives up to the name. Come have fun, whether it is watching the game on their TVs, playing pool, or chatting with the friendly locals who love bringing their dogs along for the fun. This place feels like a little tiki escape hidden in the woods.

It lacked flavor and appears they were totally reliant on the sauce to give it flavor. Old bay fries were just ok..nothing to write home about. Drinks were also just average. Even for non top shelf drinks they were pretty costly. Nice vibes but can't say I would recommend. Food absolutely needs improvement and happy hour selections needs to be enhanced.
