FANTASTIC place. Totally recommend and would absolutely go back…read more Easy to make a reservation over the phone and our party of 5 was welcomed and brought to our table upstairs. The upstairs area has a chill vibe with some Mario-themed art as well as a TV. It seems that the kitchen is upstairs, so a lot of waiters were flying by out table to the staircase. Our waiter was pretty chill. Apparently an O's fan, he was excited to learn we're from Baltimore. Food was all fantastic. The style of fries isn't my preference, but they were decent. Other than that, I was blown away. Child #1 and Child #2 got some items from the Kids' menu - grilled cheese and cheeseburger. Bread and Butter appetizer. Is it expensive for just being bread and butter? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. The homemade bread is great, but combine it with honey butter with flaky salt, and it's incredible. Loads of reviews on Yelp talked about the sausage roll. GET IT. It's greasy and filling in all the right ways. Goes great with a beer. My wife got the burger and she found it to be very tasty. I got the Grilled Maitake Mushrooms dish and holy cow; it's perfect. Even if you're not a vegetarian (I'm not), you can appreciate this dish: crispy rice cake (not the dry kind from the store), tender baby bok choy, and of course the well-cooked mushrooms are tied together with black vinegar, garlic-whipped tofu (!), and a peanut sauce. A++ would absolutely get again. The food menu has some staples, but overall it does change nightly, so make sure you check it out before you come. Apparently, on Sundays, they do a different experimental flavor of wings. I was curious, but my stomach has only so much room, so I had to draw the line. There is a respectable drink menu. My wife got the blood orange mezcalita, which she liked, but thought the smoke flavor was more subtle than described. I got the Plum Fizz and would totally get it again. Pleasantly-sour with a nice fizz. It's a nice pub in a nice neighborhood of a major city - be prepared for prices to match. But it is absolutely worth it.

One day I was craving a burger and decided to come to bad brother for the first time. I came on a…read moreMonday night not knowing there was a drinking event so it was pretty busy for a Monday. They were doing raffles if you ordered certain drafts but I decided to get a cocktail instead. The plum fizz was so delicious and refreshing. I liked that it wasn't too sweet or too strong (especially because it was a weekday) Anyways, because it was pretty busy I just sat myself at the bar. The bartenders were all so kind and nice and answered all of my questions. Apparently they do change some items on the menu and they do a martini and meatloaf Monday. I stuck with the burger and fries. When I tell you it was the best burger I've had in fairmount, I'm not exaggerating. I was expecting typical bar food but I was wrong. I will be back for sure and I'll be sure to tell all of my friends to go there as well. I've never had a meatloaf but just because the burger was so good I'll have to let my first one be at bad brother.

Damn good delivery/takeout style pies, for a great price…read more I'm Philly born and raised, I bleed green, and even though I can't eat them regularly anymore because they'll kill me, I'm probably still at least 10 percent cheesesteak. That said, I think Philly, for the most part, has given up on corner store style pizza. Gourmet neopolitan descended pizza? We got that by the yacht load. But we all know that's too fancy for workhorse, blue collar, I used to have to carry boxes to save up money for my Playstation games kinda taste. I'm gonna give them their flowers this one time - NYC knows how to make cheap, solid, go to any spot and grab a slice and you'll be alright pizza. This is not something you can do anywhere in Philly. You gotta know your spots. Most places don't let their dough rise long enough to develop flavor, or they add a ton of sugar to their dough and or sauce, or they under bake everything to get the pies out faster. You know what I mean. You've been through this. You all have a spot where you're like "at 3 am after the club, sure. But sober?" For this reason, I learned to bake my own pies, at home. It's a multi day process. Make dough. Allow it to ferment in fridge for at least 24, but no more than 72 hours. Stretch, top, bake on a stone at 550F, and boom. The kind of pizza I'll enjoy sober. And Carter's is out here doing this for me! On a standard (I didn't ask for well done, I wanted to see how it would come out) crust, it comes out poofy, foldable, but able to stand up to its toppings. The dough i less salty than I would make, but plenty fine and full of flavor. Same with the sauce. The cheese pulls like a dream, and the pepperoni has just the right amount of grease. I think next time I will ask for well done, because this is the kind of crust where you get it a little toasty and whoooowheeeeee, we're gourmet now, guys and gals! You put this pizza in the dictionary and only internet nerds that no one likes would "well actually, pizza includes Chicago deep dish style" get outta here, nerd! We're talking workhorse pizza! I do love deep dish too so that's another conversation, but not the one we're having right now. Carter's - I salute you. You are my spot, right up there with Enjay's, for exactly what I want when I'm a little too lazy to cook, and want a delicious pie that I -never- question whether it's worth the money. And I haven't even partaken in your beer selection yet. Got-damn. I'll update this when I do.

The burger tasted kind of plain even though the description sounded great, the meat itself tasted really charred, as if it was cooked on a dirty grill which didn't taste good.

May or may not try again, but if we do it certainly won't be for the burger. 2 beers and 2 meals only costed $44.95 after tax so it was worth it for a fairly cheap night out.

I intentionally booked an off-hour since I didn't want my big group to get in anyone's way, and opening time on a Saturday worked perfectly. We were seated at a long table in the back that felt as close to a private room as we could get. Appreciated our server being patient with some late guests and checking in on us regularly. I loved the spicy chicken sandwich as much as the first time I had it, and also tried the lamb kheema cheesesteak (delicious) and the masala nachos (HUGE portion). Super reasonable prices for food and drinks here, and still some of the best Asian fusion food I've had with really authentic flavors transformed into classic bar-food dishes. We went to mini golf afterwards and did all 18 holes; I was afraid so much mini golf could get tiring or boring, but we had a blast throughout and played for a good 3+ hours. Some of the upstairs holes were deceptively difficult, but we didn't take it too seriously and honestly it made it funnier. Again, coming at a less-crowded time was a good call as I can imagine a big group being more cumbersome to other guests at a busy time. The place did pick up in the evening right as we were finishing up. Overall, Libertee Grounds is a great place for a meal, drinks, and activity whether it's for a date, friend hangout, or a larger event (I know they do event bookings for particularly large groups). Even though I've played through all the mini golf courses by now, I'd honestly come back just for the delicious food!

We were on a break from a nearby tournament so we stopped in on a Saturday for a quick lunch. The bar was crowded and the staff was busy. The woman who was working the tables was very friendly and prompt with our drinks. The kitchen took a little longer, but the food was good. I would say it's ok to take teenage kids, but I'd probably skip bringing younger ones. There was plenty of loud cursing going on by the regulars with no apologies, so if your thick skinned you'll be fine! The food menu is pretty extensive with a great variety of choices. I had to try out the Nashville Sliders - decent sized sliders, not bad if you're looking for a medium sized portion. Chicken was good, could have been spicier. My kid had a chicken parm that was a huge portion. We ended up taking the other half home. The chicken was fresh, (had to be breaded in-house), good roll and there was a good mix of cheese and tangy sauce. I had a fresh IPA by 2SP in Delco that went well with the sliders. The tap list had one or two craft selections. Good bar food and looks like a solid bar in the area. Thanks guys!

They may not have an extensive menu but what they do, they do right! Our waiter was really great and very welcoming, especially as we were from out of town.

This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw.
