Stopped in for a late night bite and decided to go for the mussels. They had incredible flavor and came with bread to soak up all the goodness. Sat at the bar and enjoyed conversations with the friendly staff. Will check out the outdoor area next time! Very chill place later in the evening and worth the stop! read more

Good food but we had a pretty bad experience with our server and the manager when it came time to pay for our bill. Wouldn't recommend or eat there again, unfortunately. read more

Food was good. Just had a few small plates that we shared. Vibes seemed good but our bartender (we sat at the bar) wasn't very attentive. We all would have had a second or third round but he just never came back over again. Will try again, but maybe not at the bar next time. read more

Was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and just wanted a drink outside. The host was very unclear about the fact that there were no tables available outside. So, when we went upstairs, the servers outside were very upset and told us we must go back to the host. Oh, well. We ended up sitting by the bar upstairs and enjoying a cocktail. The blackberry grove was delicious, I just wish the staff was more clear about seating, as we probably would've went somewhere else. read more

A friend and I had plans to see a show in Old City the other night and we found this place during our search to find dinner in the area. The experience was decidedly mixed, though I would definitely give it another shot. Atmosphere 5/5 First off, the space is beautiful. There are two floors, with a dining area downstairs, and a bar and a very large space for more dining upstairs. You can tell that this upstairs area is open-air during the warmer months, and would seem like an even better atmosphere to dine in. Aside from being spacious, the space is nicely decorated and comfortable. Food 4/5 Upon first glance, the menu has a wide variety of tempting options, from handhelds to steak, chicken, and shortrib, to all sorts of wood-fired pizzas, which the waiter told us was their specialty. My dining partner and I opted to share the Whipped Ricotta with flatbread and honey for an appetizer. Delish! For the main course, we both ordered the gnocchi with roasted eggplant, scallions, and parmesan. We were told that the gnocchi is house-made, which helped in our decision. In the end, the dish was tasty, but a bit too doughy. Service 3/5 The service at Revolution House is the reason for the overall rating of 3. Unfortunately, we waited a long time for everything, from our drinks to the food and even the check. It wasn't until the very end that the waiter explained that they were shorthanded, but by that time, we were a little frustrated to say the least As I alluded to earlier, the menu and the atmosphere was enough for me to be willing to try Revolution House again and hopefully next time the experience will be better. read more

Went here a couple months ago. This is not a brunch place. Poor service (slow and inattentive). All those drink offerings but no iced coffee on the menu for brunch. Food quality is bad. Influencers who promote the brunch here probably got paid for it read more

We sat down and ate out of a bit of an impulse choice and it was pretty awful. We came in around 2 pm and got sat immediately. The decor was somewhat cute but the music really ruined it completely. They were playing straight rave music at a super loud volume and it sounded completely ridiculous! The whole table got headaches and it ruined it for all of us. It was so insanely loud to the point where me and my family could barely hear each other!! Our water glasses (Whitch were empty....) got dropped off by a random worker after five minutes and got filled around 15 minutes later by our server. They came to the table about 4 times, at most, throughout our entire time being there. The food was pretty good, and the blanco pizza was amazing but unfortunately the service and music completely ruined the experience. Would not come back. read more

All I can say is...they had me at the breakfast nachos!! Absolutely amazing food. Historic vibe inside. read more

Super cute casual dining spot with really great service. Coordinated a work social for a group of 7 on a Friday evening, Revolution House accommodated our party so well. Shoutouts to Gabriella, our excellent server. The cocktails were delicious, food was great (specifically those brussels), and the ambiance of the updaters room, decked out for the holidays in lights, SO cute! read more

I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed on my recent visit here. The best part was the service - our waitress was attentive and pleasant. I found the food/drinks to be undesirable. The glass of white wine I ordered was completely luke warm and was expensive ($17 for Sauvignon blanc). My sister and I split a Cesar salad app, wings, and a burger. The dressing on the Caesar was not great, way too salty for me. The wings were average as well as the burger and fries. Everything seemed really overpriced for the very average items. The ambiance upstairs was also not great. It wasn't decorated, no music playing, it seemed very awkward. read more

I had to give one star to give this review. I wouldn't give any at all. Didn't even get to sit down because of a bad reservation system. We get to the restaurant early to have a few drinks. As we check in, the hostess says that they have no availability for inside, even though we had a reservation. My wife specifically chose inside seating because of the deathly heat that is occurring outside. We checked the upstairs bar and still nothing. Four tables were open and no one was seated there. I asked about them and she said they are for a 5:30pm reservation. Not even trying to accommodate or help us out with our reservation at 5pm. Horrible customer service. I don't want to hear anything about the World Cup crowd. Tables are open, my wife chose the inside seating option, no one cared to help out. Never bothering to even try again to eat here. Educate these kids on customer service. read more

I had the Brussels Sprouts appetizer and a mushroom pizza. Both were tasty, but unremarkable. The service was friendly and as good as could be expected.(The waiter was also covering the bar.) The decor was rustic. I would not be in a hurry to return. read more

Great service and ambience....the best food on the menu is their brick oven pizza... Sorry....not the place for your cheesesteak..... But great place for lunch, dinner, & a place to grab a drink! read more

So far this place is amazing! The service was fantastic! The waitress was so professional! The Brussel sprouts WERE DEVINE! The garlic honey oil was a great touch. The calamari was a bit over cooked. The chicken buffalo dip was delicious. Comes with bread or chips. The garlic shrimp was very delicious and the shrimp was perfectly cooked! The chicken parm was also amazing! Overall, this place was 9/10! read more

Visiting the area and came upon this place. People are nice, food was very good. The table had a couple of smash burgers, Margherita pizzas, and a blueberry stuffed French toast. All very good and filling. read more

Came here for the first time for an event, and it will be my last time here. I arrived, Ordered a drink at the bar, waited 40 minutes for my drink to be made and brought to my table, after having to ask for my drink two more times. I asked the waiter for a menu , he brought the menu over, that was the first and last time I saw him throughout my entire dining experience. Nobody came to check on my table, I had to flag down staff in order to get anything. The food and drink was just ok, and definitely not worth the terrible customer service. read more

It pains me to even give a critical review because I genuinely love this place. The vibe is great and I've always had a good experience here. But two small mysteries need solving: 1. The nachos. Something happened to the cheese and not in a good way. Whatever changed... please change it back. The old cheese knew what it was doing. The current cheese seems to be going through a bit of an identity crisis. 2. The iced tea. Where did it go? Is it on vacation? Blink twice if the iced tea is being held somewhere in the back. Fix the cheese, free the iced tea, and this place is unstoppable. read more

delicious espresso martini shout out to Sam and Marco! may be told to take a shot so come mentally prepared for that

1.) The service was great, 2.) The food wasn't bad. Lacked in flavor a bit though, 3.) I thought the prices were very high for the amount of food that you receive. Last points: I don't think a small beet salad should cost $17. It was good, but not worth $17. read more

Ate on the rooftop for early dinner and it was fabulous. I ordered the grilled cheese brisket, and we shared the Brussel sprouts. Would highly recommend! read more

What a great spot! We opted for the outdoor second floor seating. Great views of Penns Landing, the street (which ended up being way more entertaining than you would think) and the weather was perfect! We found this place initially during a "pub crawl history tour" and knew we had to come back for food after the tour was over. Plentiful menu, my husband had a taco special (even came with a free horchata cocktail!) and I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich. Admittedly, I've had better. The chiplolte mayo was almost non existent and the chicken was crispy but flavorless. The fries were definitely the standout. Service was nice and quick. The decor is super cute. Definitely gave the revolutionary war vibe. Would for sure recommend! read more

Had an awesome experience at revolution house! Got a nice table on the upstairs floor with a great view and beautiful aesthetic. The fountain was neat(though I wish it wasn't splashing on me). But it was kinda nice since the fans weren't on and it was extremely hot out! Despite this, I was very pleased with my meal and the drinks we ordered. The drinks were presented very nicely and had a really good flavor! They provided ice water and kept it full which was also nice. For food we ordered the blistered shishitos(pepper things), a few flatbreads, and the smash burger. All were delicious especially the peppers and the flat bread which were very tasty and well seasoned. I was actually surprised at how good the peppers were since I typically don't get them, so definitely try if you can. Service was good and it was easy to get a table. Overall excellent spot and will be coming back! Very highly recommend! read more

Staff: the staff was fine. Not neglectful. Vibe: big rooftop vibes. There's indoor dinning as well. They really need to get the top step reinforcement. Didn't feel safe. Food: the wings (gluten free) were fried hard which was great. They could've used more sauce. The salad was fine. The dressing needed more citrus or vinegar. The pecans were a delight. The strawberry lemon was great. read more

Been here a few times and the food is always very very good. Not sure why they have a 3.5 rating, people are so critical these days - it's usually the brokesters that leave bad reviews who expect the food to be sent down from God himself. read more

I went here for the view which is really nice. The service was great. On a Sunday afternoon, I was seated quickly. The smash burger was okay, it's nothing special in terms of seasoning, toppings, or flavor. I don't like American cheese and that was their only cheese option (maybe due to the historical USA vibes of the area). The Berry Blossom Lemonade (without vodka for me) was really refreshing and sweet. It was the best part of the meal. read more

We were visiting and staying just around the corner and found this place online. The menu had lots of options for the kids so we decided to try it out. All of the staff were extremely friendly and very nice and helpful. The food was just as great. Kids had pizza, mac and cheese and fries. My kids are picky eaters and they both enjoyed their meals. My little.one had mac and cheese with bacon and she ate a majority of it which is rare for her. The Pizza was very good as well. I had the morning jam burger which was messy but very good. The wife had the garlic shrimp which was very flavorful with a nice sweet and spicy flavor. It was a somewhat healthier option for her. If you have little ones and are looking for a good meal I would highly recommend this place. It's a great place to enjoy a drink as well if you have that luxury. We would definitely go back if we wre ever back in town. read more

Hands down has the best happy hour- great hours including Friday, food choices (large portions!) and drinks. Go here every time when in town and am never disappointed read more

Different cheesesteak item #1068 in the last five years. I loved the building. I liked the bartender, $6 and the hand cut fries. I like that I can usually find parking on the westbound side of Market st. The cheesesteak was $17. It did come with very good hand cut french fries. The meat was good but needed more. The house made cheese sauce was blandish. A good roll but not for a cheesesteak. read more

Despite how busy it was, they were able to get us seated near the bar right away. As I said they were really busy so might not be a normal scenario but service was a slow. The staff was nice and apologetic, clearing running, but there was several times we needed to flag down any server to get stuff like silverware or napkins or ketchup. The food was good. Your typical fried chicken and fried fish sandwich. The tots are like a mashed potato tot and you'd think the honey mustard is weird but it's a great combo. read more

We ate at Revolution House yesterday having made reservations several days ahead. The restaurant had no record of our reservations in spite of a text confirmation. The restaurant is ideal for young people looking to spend time at a bar. The food was mediocre and the service was excellent. The acoustics did not allow for conversation. I would not recommend this restaurant for people that are looking for a dinner with conversation and good food. read more

The rooftop deck is a great blend of the outside but keeps the inside vibe. The interior of the restaurant is classy. Everything is incredible in fast and presentation. We had the chicken parm and in itself is worthy of 5 stars! The chicken and pineapple flatbread is extremely tasty as well. This would be first on my list of restaurants in Philly. read more

Went to Revolution House with my girlfriend last night and I was not disappointed. We had a reservation for 7 and were seated up top on the roof deck. It was a perfect night for it - about 78 degrees and sunny. The ambience on the rooftop is great and it is a sweet spot to hangout. I got the Revolution Smash Burger with a Summer Love. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Tinga Tacos and the Sangrerita. We also ordered the Potato Croquettes for an appetizer. The potato croquettes were my only con - a little overpriced for what you get with them. The Burger was really good - 8.9/10 and the secret sauce was excellent. I also had some of the Chicken Tacos - which were really great too because what girlfriend ever finishes all her food on date night? Her only comment was they were a little messy but we both still loved the taste. Food was also served very fast and wait staff was accommodating. I thought it was a really cool spot. Liked the decorations and theme of the restaurant after the American Revolution in a historic Philadelphia neighborhood. It's also a great place to eat and then walk around some historic landmarks of our country.... "Unite or dine" Definitely will be back sometime! Cheers read more

Revolution House - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The hosts had a look like 'how can I help you?' without saying it out loud so I said, 'it's just me'. With that I was immediately seated and given a comfortable few minutes to review things. My server approached and offered drink special information. I went for a local beer, 'I like beer'! Churchville lager I like a lot. After a few questions about sandwiches I went for my go to pizza. The Americana (?) is just basically pepperoni pizza. It came out in less than 7 minutes but it was perfection. The crust was the right thickness not doughy or or too much sauce. The only thing that was off was it was hot just not piping like fresh out of the oven. But I have no complaints about the food or my server. The decor is wood paneling walls and exposed beams, a nice above ground basement vibe. The pizza was good the restaurant clean and organized but slightly expensive for a personal size pizza. If they have Happy Hour deals during the week I would consider returning if not, it's not worth another trip. read more

Ok so let's talk. This is a nice restaurant and bar. 2 bars one at the entrance, the other upstairs by the patio. I don't know why, I just assumed the patio was going to just have heaters and not be enclosed too. Either way, we sat out there. I enjoyed the vibe, not too loud, easy conversations going. And the food was good. I had the pork and birthday boy had a burger. We are still not sure why. He said after tasting my food, it was very difficult to enjoy his meal, but he ate most of it. We also tried the hummus app. And it was heavy on the flavor and oil. Our evening was overall great. Service was quick and friendly. I would go again. When time comes. read more

I had a really nice evening at Revolution house. The weather was gorgeous, so we opted to sit on the roof deck. There was an event upstairs as well, but it was partitioned off away from our seating. Service was fantastic! The waiter was friendly, efficient, and enthusiastic. I tried the Lavender 75 for my cocktail, it was gin with Prosecco, delicious. My date got a Moscow mule and blackberry cider. Both we very good! Cocktail Prices are typical of the area, around $13. We decided to get a few small plates and started with the chicken kebabs and the crispy brussels sprouts. The crispy brussels sprouts were so good, the best I've had in a long time. The kebabs were just okay, in my opinion, so I probably would not order them again. After our appetizers we decided to split a pizza. We went for the buffalo chicken pizza, and it looked and tasted fantastic. Again, I must comment on how great the service was! I feel like service has really declined since the pandemic and we were really taken care of. We went early, around 4:30 pm, only to find out happy hour only pertains to the bar, but we really wanted to sit roof top, so we paid regular prices. We left around 6:30 pm and it still wasn't very crowded. I would recommend Revolution house if you are in Old city and looking for an outdoor venue to eat and dine! read more

We had a great afternoon walking around Old City area of Philly. Decided to try Revolution mainly because they had a rooftop bar. Walked up to the 2nd floor and ordered a beer and then took in the views. Then we went downstairs and ordered dinner. The crispy brussel sprouts were outstanding. They were topped with pickled onions which was a nice idea. Fresh cut fries were also delicious. Service was very prompt and he was quite helpful in making suggestions. read more

So was looking up rooftop bars and decided to try here . We went tonight a Sunday evening for drinks . We got there and were told we could only sit outside if we were ordering food . We sat inside at upstairs and Russs was great but there were only two tables taken outside so very disappointing that we could not enjoy the outside space. Maybe don't advertise as a rooftop bar if you can't enjoy the outside space especially on an off night . read more

Revolution House - An empty outside area - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Haven't been here since I gave it a one star years ago but my husband and I were in old city and we stopped in. Maybe my bad experience was a fluke because we had a great time. Our server was kind and attentive, she gave us space which I love and even though they were clearly getting ready for a big group to come in we did not feel rushed at all. The food was good too, the nachos were great... I loved the tortilla chips and I kept with the same thing and had tacos which were excellent. I wish we weren't going to be walking around for a while after or I would have taken my last one home. Definitely made up for the last time and we will probably come back when the weather breaks. read more
