This spot feels like a quant old fashioned pub which is nice. The price is right as well if you're looking for something casual and cheap for a night out with friends. 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. My wife had the three cheese grilled cheese which was great for such a simple sandwich. The staff was pleasant enough and service didn't take long. 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. read more

Lovely outdoor space with great service and very kid friendly. Yummy beet salad and a tasty overloaded shrimp poboy.

It was nice to stop by the tap room! I have been in to have a drink, but this time I ordered some food! BBQ wings & Burger with fries! I had an IPA as well! Our server was polite and was attended to our needs when necessary. The food was adequate pub food! I liked the chill after work atmosphere! I see more Happy Hours and dinners in my future! read more

Friendly staff, great service, huge portion sizes at great prices! The food came out hot and everything was delicious. I definitely needed to go boxes at great prices! The food came out hot and everything was delicious. I definitely needed to go boxes and a bag for my leftover goodies. I arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and was surprised by the indoor and outdoor size. Driving by, it appears to be small. However, there is ample seating inside and out. There were many families that dined that night and after a couple of hours the family crowd thinned out and more mature patrons came in for dinner and libations. I met 4 people at the door of another neighborhood restaurant and bar that happened to be closed and they told me about this hidden gem. I'm glad they did and I'll definitely return. I took 1 star off because the kitchen is upstairs, so I couldn't see it; however, I would still recommend you check it out! The main area and lavatories are very clean and welcoming. read more

The food was good, but nothing memorable. The staff was nice. They were eating and then serving drinks, which I found to be icky. Decent place all in all. read more

Positives are excellent food and reasonable prices. Great wines by the glass especially for a tap room. Amazing Brussels, burgers and fried chicken sandwich. Negatives: no reservations taken for a group of five. It was really really crowded (probably due to 70 degree Sunday and daylight savings). We got a table outdoors but heaters weren't on. They ran out of the wine I was having and also forgot my main. It finally came out at the very end as we were getting ready to leave and no offer of comping or anything. Unprofessional imho. Nonetheless less we would def go back. read more

Meal was meh. Vibe was somewhat pleasant until the staff sat next to us and started folding towels and throwing silverware in their container as loud as they could we couldn't hear each other read more

It's good bar food for a great price. I got the shrimp Po Boy and it was huge for $14. Wife got the crab sandwich. That was a lot of food too. The have the optional truffle fries which were perfectly crispy. Normally I have to ask for them to crisp up my fries. We also got the beer and onion soup. My wife would've preferred hers hotter but it was perfect for me. When we first arrived there was only one server manning all the tables and the bars. He was doing and awesome job too. As always appreciate the people that bring you your $h!t. That's not an easy job. The place is a lot larger than I thought it was. Looks like they have a huge outdoor area I'd love to try. read more

Very understaffed. Don't go there if you're hungry. Long wait to get seated despite empty tables. Long wait for food which was okay but definitely not worth waiting for an hour and 15 minutes or more. read more

Philly is a city of many small neighborhoods. Mount Airy/Chestnut Hill is one of few that offer an intimate small-town charm. Nestled next to Lincoln Drive, Mount Airy Tavern is a local spot that juggles the paradox of being a dive bar and family-style restaurant. Environment This restaurant is a nice embodiment of exposed brick and gentle conversations.I've only sat inside on one occasion and the service was prompt yet inviting. Food This is where the restaurant truly shines. Yes,they have a handsome selection of local beers but the food outshines them all. Typically, I grab the Cajun Shrimp Pasta(only for those that can handle and appreciate spice) but if you're on the hunt for a quick snack the Parmesan Fries are also delightful. THE SAUCE Without question,this is my favorite restaurant in the Chestnut Hill/Mount Airy area. I would recomened this place to anyone looking in need of of a restaurant for a modestly priced first date or somewhere to rest your work demons. Happy eating! read more

Mount Airy Tap Room - Cajun Shrimp Pasta(7/10 spicy level) - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Excellent food and amazing service and ambiance on the patio! I would definitely recommend coming here!

I only ordered takeout but the crab cake sandwich was 8/10 hummus I wouldn't try again but the crab cake was what I was craving

The environment is decent. Service is good. Friendly and accommodating. Just stick to cocktails wine or bottled beer because the food is bad and the draft beer is always warm read more

The food was tasty, gastropub faire. The service was good and everyone was very friendly. The ambiance was nice expect that it was very cold since it was winter. read more

This place gets an easy 5 stars, and outstanding Mt. Airy institution. Very respectable draft beer selection, including a cask, okay number of vegetarian selections (check out the vegetarian Bahn Mi or the Hummus appetizer), more than reasonable serving sizes, very pleasant outdoor seating, and even during busy hours, the servers are so attentive. My deputy Yelper has given consistent 5 stars to the Streak Frites as well as the MATR Burger. The Fried Brussels Sprout appetizer is very good, but be forewarned - it's huge, so plan on sharing or skip your entree order. The Fish & Chips, Shrimp Po'Boy, and Crab Cake Sandwich - all very good, with fries or substitute the salad. Nice presentation, with pickles, etc. My only minor complaint is that the Veggie Burger is not house-made, so it seems a bit perfunctory. It's okay, but not a favorite. I can heartily recommend the brownie dessert, and the beignets are good. I recommend calling to reserve a table, especially if you want the outdoor seating. read more

The food is great and so is the beer. Service is swift and courteous. The place is a bit noisy but that's on account of all the jollity. But when are they going to get those tables and chairs off the sidewalk. The pandemic is over. I don't want to see your dang food. I'm walking here! read more

A wonderful, solid, 4 star pub in my favorite section of Philadelphia near my all-time favorite former g-friend's house. So I get to stalk her out, (only kidding, my sweetheart Honey Dearest), ponder the lovely memories and scars and enjoy a couple of the fantastic selection of brews on tap! Oh yea, and the food...I can eat. Ready? My "old", much older friend and I started with the Honey Sriracha wings. The cook of the wings was perfect, not breaded, just fried, but they were small in size and quantity. I wonder if the one-pound weight specified on the menu which equaled 8 half wings on the plate was just an estimate or the standard for all of you Cost Accounting majors. One may think at that teeny-tiny wing size there would be 10 half-wings to a pound...just sayin'. The Honey Sriracha was ok, not better than average. The fried chicken sandwich was very nice, crispy cooked, a great size, with undercooked fries on the side. This I would definitely order again, not the wings. The Crab Cake sandwich was a great reco from our YELP crowd here. A do over fer sure. Love the interior set-up, size and of course our bar service was worth the price of a re-visit on her own. Overall, everything was very good and a step below perfect. Be back soon! read more

This neighborhood bar went through a couple of different owners but it's a nice little spot that has a good vibe. I went there to watch a Sixers game and grabbed a couple of beers at the bar. It seems like a family friendly place as well. I'll have to go back and try their fish and chips and there brunch after reading some good reviews read more

Mount Airy Tap Room - 2SP Beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hi I'm a valid customer from the mt airy area . Now this business has only been open for 4 yrs . The owner is horrible he is barley even there to supervise his business . He is understaffed and also has a small and poor menu selection I wouldn't suggest going there either unless you want to be robbed for tips . I got charged on my receipt as a large party gratuity because a server in there restaurant by the name of Carolyn s is money hungry for tips I've never seen such a thing implemented in my life and I've been going to that location of business for years when it was goat hollow better staff and service this guy has been there for 4 yrs and thinks he's intangible read more

Mount Airy Tap was my favorite place to eat at when I lived in Mt. Airy! I ordered the Bourbon Bacon BBQ Grilled Chicken and it blew my mind how good it was. The chicken was moist and not over cooked. It was smothered in bourbon bbq sauce, where you actually could taste the bourbon flavor! The bacon was thick. As if that wasn't enough, the chicken was smothered in a sharp cheddar and ranch dressing! This meal was incredible! They also have a very good draft list as well! Of course they'll have your Philly favorites & local beers. But they'll also include a few Belgiums as well! read more

SERVICE 7/10 FOOD 6.3/10 BEER LIQ 8/10 VIBE 3/10 The music sucked and played out of one small speaker and can hear everyone's convo. (Library vibes with a bar) Deviled eggs bland. How do you mess that up honestly. Wings needed salt and more flavor all around. Quality of chicken was fine but not worth $13 for a lb when the bones weigh a quater lb or more. Nope. The fried zucchini app was ok again bland. Even the sauce. New chef needed and a taste tester required asap. Won't be back to sum it up. GOAT HOLLOW was better. The place before This. read more

I absolutely love this place! My girlfriend ordered dinner for me through DoorDash and it was amazing! The steak frites was cooked to perfection and the salad was very fresh. The mussels OMG!!!! So freaking good. Last but not least, the burger was so juicy and flavorful. I returned two days later for a takeout order this time I had the crab cake sandwich, wings and another burger lol. I'm convinced everything is good on the menu. Will definitely be returning read more

I met a friend here for dinner the other night and was not disappointed. I have ordered takeout from them but haven't been to the actual restaurant so it was nice to see where my food was coming from. I liked that they had a large drink selection. My friend and I got Seville's eggs to share which were great and I had a burger which was good quality and came with fried as well. read more

Stopped here on a whim when my favorite takeaway burger place closed early. Myself and my younger son both got burgers. My 14 year old got a fried chicken sandwich. The portion sizes were absolutely humongous. The burgers tasted a bit burned tbh and even though I never said it aloud my 11 year old said it for me. The truffle parm fries were yummy and the desserts were tasty as well. read more

We decided to give this new place a shot since the grand opening madness seemed to have subsided. There were lots of fun options for appetizers so we went with the bourbon honey bbq wings, bacon and blue cheese mussels and crab Mac and cheese (not pictured). All were mediocre at best and the mussels were VERY salty (& I am someone who likes salt). I would generally sop up the broth the mussels are in with the bread provided but I couldn't even do that because the salt content was that bad. We also tried to MAT Burger which has caramel used onions, mushrooms and gruyere. Again, mediocre at best. The fries that came along with it were pretty good and crispy though which was a nice surprise. There was nothing about this dinner that made us say we'd come back again. So, we came, gave it a shot, and we won't be back. read more

Great drinks, not far from home and good food. Would highly recommend folks visiting and getting one of their delicious cocktails

Always good. Parking always annoying, but worth it! I like that their menus stays the same, foundationally, and they switch with interesting add-ons seasonally. read more

It's ok. Needs a new better menu in my opinion. But always friendly and nice outdoor seating when it's warm. Food wise, meh

Came here with the parents and we really enjoyed ourselves. For appetizers we ordered wings and Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts were out of this world. Would comeback jsut for them. The wings were also tasty. The French onion soup was delicious. My dad ordered a Cajun pasta but they didn't include the sausage which was advertised on the menu. The steak I split with my mom- it came with a side salad and we upgraded the fries to truffle fries. Steak and fries were delicious- I wasn't a fan of the dressing on the salad but my mom enjoyed it! Will definitely be back! read more

I used to think I didn't like mussels but I'm starting to really like them when done right. This generous portion we split was served with bacon, orange, Allagash White, and butter. My husband got the Crab Cake Sandwich and I got the Bourbon Bacon BBQ Grilled Chicken sandwich. We'll definitely be back to try some of the other dishes on the menu! Service was excellent and the owner stopped to talk and ask what could be done better. It's nice to know they care about the customer experience. read more

I love the food & beer selection here. Such a neighborhood gem! The service & atmosphere are excellent as well. I'm so glad I found it!

Delicious food and a great vibe at this local establishment. I have been here before under another name but the food and some of the servers remain in top form. The shrimp po boy was absolutely overflowing with delicious fried shrimp. I had to eat half of them before being able to close the sandwich. Definitely something I would order again. My friends had the fried chicken sandwich and the burger. Both looked tasty and were devoured quickly. The fried zucchini was crisped to perfection too. I'm glad I got to visit this place again! I will be back for sure. read more

Mediocre food and indifferent service. I live close and have visited a few times. I wasn't given the opportunity to express my dissatisfaction with my meal last time because staff didn't communicate. Dropped food and ran. Never asked anything. Fish batter tasted like flour. Fish served on top of salad. Hot greasy caeser anyone? read more

If you enjoy eating thick, oregano-centric marinara sauce with a spoon, order MATR's tomato soup. Without exaggeration, the soup would be terrific over a bowl of pasta (which isn't offered here). As for the shrimp po' boy, the shrimp were crisp and perfectly fried. My problem is they're served on a HUGE soft roll, which is about the size of a half loaf of bread. A previous reviewer's photo is captioned that the po'boy filled him up BEFORE he even got to his fries---No Wonder. I've also had their steak and burger, both ordered Medium-Rare and that's how they arrived. Kudos to the kitchen/grill-meister, since it's difficult to receive a Med-Rare beef order in PHL--it's usually overcooked or bloody. Not here. The beet salad was also terrific as were the fries (each visit) and my wife enjoyed her salmon entrée. The tap list is well thought out and extensive, with something for everyone--another plus. I hope the owners rethink their po' boy roll/tomato soup offerings which would put MATR well ahead of the curve. read more

The food was good with a nice inviting area inside and out. The only reason I give it 4 star is because my waiter was very slow and seemed like she didn't know what to do, had to ask many times for things. read more

Loud with many TVs throughout the space, which they would not turn down or off. Food was good. Probably good for taking large groups of children, which is the group that sat next to us. read more
