Went in for a pre- dinner drink and appetizer. Staff was very upbeat and attentive. Our drinks were excellent and well crafted. Our appetizer was a good choice and was a great shareable. Prices were reasonable. read more

Ever been mall walking? It's an enjoyable experience where you get to enjoy all your favorite things all in the same place. There's an outdoor beer garden section, two bars, and a restaurant all combined... a single congregating place for all! Didn't get to full enjoy all parts of it. Only sat in the tabled restaurant section for my first time. Enjoyed a nice dinner with some good company. I had the bridge street burger as my main. My fiancee had the Ravioli and we shared a crab spinach and artichoke dip. All of which were great. We'll definitely be back to enjoy more food, beer and experiences there! read more

Good place for burgers and hit sandwiches. Love the outside seating when weather is good. Fast friendly service and excellent bar service.

This was my first time at Phoenixville's Great American Pub. It was many local guests' first time on their 2nd floor too. I have been to Conshohocken's twice and I like how they attempt to have delicious creative food combinations offering some quirkiness but the dishes I had didn't really fly for me. A special vegan event lead me to the Phoenixville one and I felt the care placed into the food needed to be written about. A vegan friend told me that this particular location offers more vegan options than other Great American Pubs. I have a tendency to try to avoid writing reviews for special events or events through work, but I've decided it's actually appropriate for me to write reviews on the vegan event series I attend since I am paying for the meals myself. However, I have to consider that since it's not only a personal dining experience, but also a personal dining experience under an organization that requests special accommodations for said venue, I aim to try to be careful not to ruin the relationship between said organization and the respective venues. In this case, after the meal, we were given a brief, heart warming story of how the owner's wife is vegan. So, he has an interest and skills in making vegan food. For the cauliflower soup, he used coconut milk slightly to make it seem creamy, I believe a vegetable soup base as well. The "crab" cakes, I cannot remember what he used and there was liquid leftover from making the soup that could be used to make the vegan but creamy "hollandaise" sauce. There was also an accompanying "cocktail" in which I am not sure how it was made nor remember the ingredients for the crab cake proper. It reminded me of the Mind Blown crab cakes you can get from frozen, except since everything is fresh, it's even better. The asparagus with the crab cakes was fresh. It felt like it was from the farm. Soooo on-point!! Last, but not least, the cobbler had a vegan and GF crust. The ice cream was made of oat milk. I want to say he said he used Oat-Ly, but I could not tell what brand he was saying for certain. The apple was reasonably warm with the cold ice cream. What a treat!! All of the items are off-menu. So if you really want what you see, you would have to special request it. I would suggest 1-2 weeks in advance if you wish to attempt this courageous feat. I feel lucky to be a part of the special event and the community. read more

I was looking for a chill place to grab dinner after a day of running errands and this definitely hit the spot. Very relaxed, chill atmosphere with great service and solid food. For an appetizer, we split the Bavarian pretzel. Queso wasn't my favorite but honey mustard was good. I got the herbivore sandwich which was huge. Difficult to eat, but fantastic flavor. Husband got the cheeseburger which he liked. The chips that came with both of our meals were good. Recommend if you're looking for a relaxed bar vibe. read more

Hotter than hell wings were about as spicy as my grandmas thanksgiving turkey, straight up false advertising Fried pickles were very mediocre. Batter was solid but pickles has absolutely zero pickle flavor and could have been just plain cucumbers for all I know Bavarian pretzel was actually two pretzels and again both were mid. Pictures of the old pretzels looked awesome. Cheese sauce and mustard were delicious though Outdoor space is nice and spacious and live band was good on 6/27 so vibes were good but food was nothing to write home about Also would not recommend the not pizza (iced tea). Tasted like the stuff we would make in college with Vladimir vodka and dollar iced tea read more

Place is a lot of fun to be at but everytime I go and get a beer it taste like vinegar leaving me preferring other places in town. This is most likely due to the lines not regularly being cleaned. I think it's an important thing to deal with urgently. read more

Michelle and Crystal were wonderful! Make sure to try the hotter than hell sauce and the jalapeño garlic pickle juice!

PHOENIXVILLE, PA: as were were walking around the town, we were ready for lunch and spotted Great American Pub Phoenixville! What caught our eye was the very fun look to their outdoor patio. The first thing we thought of was a restaurant like at Great Adventure with themed decor. We sat at a table on a raised platform in its own little gazebo-like structure that has an awning, which was fun! Leashed dogs are allowed anywhere in the outdoor area and your server can provide a water bowl. The menu is American with also very nice vegan options. There are drink specials and entertainment throughout the week too. We really enjoyed the food and vibrant atmosphere. read more

My friend and I recently went to Great American Pub for drinks and apps, choosing to sit at their outdoor bar. We decided to order the pierogies and Nashville hot chicken nachos. The pierogies were good. They were cooked nice and crispy and paired with a flavorful kielbasa. The addition of the caramelized onions brought the whole dish together. The nachos on the other hand, fell short of expectations. Chicken lacked the desired crispiness and there was not enough buffalo sauce, leaving the dish somewhat bland and lacking in flavor. In terms of the service, the bartender was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable time. I would consider going back to try other menu items but I'm not in a rush to return. read more

Had a great meal with friends at GAP! Menu is big with options for all tastes. Our server was great with accommodating and recommending modifications (like tomato cream sauce on the cheese ravioli--highly recommend!). Only downside was that service was a bit slow but it was a very busy night between live music, open streets, and warm weather. We loved the swinging bench tables! read more

Awful experience. The women working the bar took my girlfriend's VALID Nevada ID from state she was born and raised (who is here for a graduate program) and showed the whole bar staff her ID, took pictures, and laughed at it and said it was fake and kicked us out. Terrible employee will not come back here. Going to contact the better business bureau and will be suing for discrimination in public accommodation for refusing service despite presenting a valid ID. read more

We've been to the great American pub in Conshohocken before and have always had positive experiences there. The roast beef sandwiches were always a huge hit. Our experience, however, with the great American pub in Phoenixville was entirely different. The service was fairly slow, there was an odd smell of mothballs throughout the restaurant, and our waitress, while extremely pleasant and very accommodating, was more interested in socializing with people that she knew at the table next to us. Our waters went unrefilled after our first round. My wife's chicken sandwich was on unseasoned fairly plain, and my Italian pulled pork sandwich came with an extremely large amount of coleslaw on top. As someone who is not at all a fan of coleslaw and mostly lactose intolerant, I kindly asked that the sandwich be remade. In this circumstance, I asked for American cheese as it is more tolerable than the normal provolone. When the new sandwich came back, it was made with provolone. Since it was sincerely, my mistake and my request I ate the sandwich, or most of it, and got full with the french fries. I ordered a beer and asked that it come with my meal. It came when I was nearly finished. Because I have to ask for special orders I normally tip over above 20%. But in this case I stuck 20% since the food, the attention to detail, and the service was mediocre. My suggestion to the restaurant is to ask the wait staff to be somewhat more attentive. I realize this is a service job and appreciate what they do. But there is an expectation, when paying such high prices for the food that we eat at a restaurant, that the quality of the food and the service are both better than what we received. I may return to see if things improve, but it likely won't be anytime soon. read more

File this one under "places I keep walking past and have no idea why don't go in." Lion and I decided one cloudy afternoon to go in, and we're glad we did. It was an off time, in between brunch and dinner on a Sunday, and so it was relatively uncrowded. The restaurant occupies the first floor of a historic building that was once a hotel. Instead of one big dining area there are different rooms, two in the front, then you pass through to a large airy bar/dining area that then opens up to a patio with a fountain. I can imagine that patio being a popular place in spring and summer. We were seated in a comfy booth in one of the front rooms, with a bar across from us. Everything was clean and there was a good mix of modern with vintage/antique, a very cool vibe overall. We were given our menus quickly and then our drinks. Lion got the hamburger, which he declared quite good. I took our Yelp community suggestion and go the Fayetteville Chicken Sandwich, which is definitely out of my usual and was quite tasty. I generally avoid chicken breast sandwiches as most restaurants don't execute them well, this one was definitely an exception. It wasn't the very best I've ever had but it was tasty and not either very dry or so moist it's dripping. Our one off note perhaps was that service was somewhat uneven, we were in between the usual lunch and dinner times, however it was disconcerting enough to flag someone down, and while I am reluctant to ding on service, there were folks standing around and the bartender could see us, so, sigh, one star off. It hurts a little to do that. We'll go again, for sure. read more

The perks of The GAP are plentiful: lots of outdoor and pet-friendly seating, a menu fit for all; carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and celiac alike, a decent selection of craft brew on tap, and a historic tavern setting. In my two visits to the Great American, I've been satiated with my food and drink options. They take reservations, which I recommend for larger parties and weekend dining. This is a solid option for group gatherings, catering to many palates, or a simple happy hour drink. It's just *not* my favorite, and would never be my first choice for a dinner out. I realize this is my opinion, and my opinion alone. My local family members really enjoy The GAP. I've found, in my two visits, that the service is slow and spotty. Of course, the pressure on the service industry in our post-COVID world does not help. The food is also good - but not outstanding. With so many competitors on the Bridge Street, the best part of The Great American Pub is the plentiful outdoor seating. Indoors, it can get pretty loud. If you're looking for a cold drink or some basic apps, this place is great. If you're not in a hurry, even better. It's a solid establishment, just not my cup of tea - a little nicer (and pricier) than your run-of-the-mill pub. read more

LITERALLY NEVER GO HERE...I went here on a Sunday afternoon and I was denied to have a drink because my "id wouldn't scan" as I am 23 years old..I asked them to show me my id wouldn't scan and they denied..horrible service and even worse food..enjoy the worst time of you life read more

This pub was the perfect place to host our family's graduation ceremony! The "bicycle" room was the right size, nice decor and comfortable seating. Everything was over the top. We will not hesitate to recommend the food & service. A must try! read more

My experience here was definitely impacted by slow and poor service. They caused me to miss a memorial service, even though i mentioned on numerous occasions from the get go that I needed to be gone in 45 min... and was assured it was not an issue. Sorry but tipped appropriately in this case. The burger was above average, but since i had to inhale it I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. The outside seating is is nice - but the weird self contained, covered "rocker" tables for 4-6 folks are not necessarily comfortable. We'll see if another visit turns things around. read more

So I gave this place another try and I'm sorry to say my experience did not improve. The service again was beyond slow. However our waitress did check in a few times. The food however certainly missed the mark. We ordered the same app as the last time (4 for $10 mozzarella) already pricey but this time one was super little. Ordered the chicken sandwich again but this time it was dry. Tried a few new menu items as well. A turkey burger (dry) didn't finish. Coconut shrimp (over cooked and served without any sauce). And the ribs that were not good at all. I added a before and after photo. We trashed the whole rack. I'd rather have ribs from AppleBees. I was hopeful that my second visit would be better than the first however it wasn't. The ambience is my favorite part but not good enough for me to return. read more

Won't be back. We had a holiday luncheon and the food was not pub food but gross and greasy. Also, making pasta no thanks I will go to an Italian restaurant. The restaurant smelled musty and tricky to find parking. There is one toilet that won't flush downstairs to use too. Sigh! read more

I was here twice in the past couple days. The outside seating is amazing and so open and spacious, yet you feel very isolated at your table. It was easy to hear one another speak, and the food and service was great. I had the same waited both times, and he was attentive and kind! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip (amazing), one of the cake desserts which was delicious, Mac and cheese breaded bites which were also amazing. It's the perfect girls night or date night spot! I will be going here all the time, plus I have heard the owner is a church going, very kind and humble man! Will give this business all the support I can! read more

I just held a birthday party there and I just have to say that I highly recommend them. We had it catered for 71 people. The food was fantastic.

You both made this a wonderful night for my family especially my daughter. read more

Came here for dinner last night after a long day at French Creek state park. This place was recommended by a woman who worked at a store nearby. We were seated outdoors, the seating is very unique in that each "booth" is a covered canopy and it glides back and forth by moving your feet. Fun for kids as my 8 year old really enjoyed this aspect. Ambiance 10/10. I'm writing about the food though, everything we ordered was amazing. Appetizer we got the fried calamari which was cooked perfectly, and came with hot cherry peppers which complemented the calamari perfectly. I got a chicken caesar salad, which was a very large portion! Well dressed, amazing flavor and crunch from the croutons and a good amount of parmesan cheese, It was perfect. My husband ordered the cobb salad which also looked great. My son ordered the mac and cheese, he said "this is heavenly!" I had to try it and it was the best macaroni and cheese I ever ate in my life!!! It was indeed heavenly. Creamy and cheesy, not greasy, it was seriously delicious. My husband also commented that the price wasn't bad for the amount of food that we got. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant because we would be regulars!! read more

I called a couple of weeks before our group was in town, and the staff was very accommodating in reserving space for our party of 30+ for a Saturday lunch at noon. I arrived 20 minutes early and all the tables were set up and the staff members were very welcoming.

The Great American Pub is handling the pandemic really well. They have a ton of outdoor seating with cool giant swing tables! There is plenty of space between each table and you can see staff cleaning in between customers. The staff is friendly and efficient! They have a decent selection of beer and alcoholic drinks, and the food is your classic pub food. The Reuben sandwich was pretty good and came with fries that were delicious. The chicken fajita was also really good and a large portion, but only came with three small tortillas. read more

Every town needs a place like the Great American Pub! Phoenixville is quite the little under-the-radar secret the Philly metro and this place just has such a nice vibe. Historic-looking pub with abundant bar and table space, it is friendly and inviting. AND, this is what I need to share with y'all, the "Bridge Street Burger" is one of the best burgers I have had anywhere and I have had many burgers. A half-pound burger with pepper jack cheese, capicola ham (see, literally a "ham"burger) and peppers, well, all I can say is that I was quite dazzled! read more

I have taken my family to eat here several times because it has such a fun outdoor atsomohere. The kids love sitting in the rocking outdoor tables and they're covered to protect you from the rain and sun. The staff are helpful and kind. My husband and I would love to come here for drinks for the fun atmosphere at night. When it comes to the food, I'd say stick with the bar food for the family. We ordered kids meals for our three kids and they enjoyed them. They love having a Shirley temple with their Mac and cheese and chicken fingers are great. I had a salad and it was disappointing and my husband ordered something that sounded fancy on the menu and wish he just stuck with the bar food. I ended stealing some chicken fingers from my daughter because they were good. We love coming here with the kids because they love sitting outside and interacting with the staff and other guests. The bar food is good, and the staff always make it a good time for our family. read more

I have always really liked this restaurant, but when I went the other evening, the service was so sub and unfriendly, that I hesitate to go back. Sometimes, even when the food is good, a bad server who is in a tent, can ruin your meal. This is what happened to me. It's unfortunate, because the outside seating is so lovely. I understand that these days servers are hard to find. But I don't appreciate having to track down the server for every one of my needs, including the check. read more

Just not that "Great". Despite the nice ambiance, the cocktails are pretty terrible. I ordered a Chocolate Martini and it had a weird Butterscotch flavor. Where's the chocolate? It was so bad that i had to send it back and swapped it out for a glass of wine. The waitress was kind enough to not charge me for the drink (hence why i didn't give below 3 stars). I recommend heading over to Iron Hill Brewery for a nice cocktail. Although it's not as fantasy, the sports bar has deceptively great drinks. read more

Good food good service. Good luck finding a parking place in Phoenixville. Good menu.

We met here for dinner yesterday and found the food to be okay, but the service was painfully slow. We had reservations and were then confused as to why they seated us inside the hotel building when we would have rather been outside. Then the booth where we were seated was pretty small, along with the table. When our waitress finally showed up, we were each given water in plastic cups (is this a frat house?) with tepid water which tasted like it was freshly scooped from a toilet tank, and a pile of four straws thrown on to the table (the low brow action of tossing them to the center of the table seemed odd for a dinner place where we had made a reservation-yeah, I know, it's a pub). Drinks were ordered and then took quite a while to receive. When they finally arrived, the drinks were found to taste good. Fried pickles were ordered as an appetizer and were enjoyed by all. Entree orders were made and then wait began again. Twice, a runner showed up to our table, perched the edge of her tray on our table and attempted to serve us food which we did not order (she seemed rather confused with where the food she was running was supposed to go as I watched her do this a few more times to other tables). Our food finally arrived, but the runner just dispensed our food without clearing the fried pickles dishes from the table. So our already small table was now filled with extra plates. Our waitress came by once to refill water and soft drinks (we didn't dare order anything else from the bar because we have to be at work Monday morning), but they didn't see her again until she offered to bring our check. There was no further asking if we enjoyed our food or experience, no offer for dessert or coffee (not that we would have partook since they were so slow), just how many boxes we needed and away she scurried. Overall though, the food was well prepared, but seemed a bit bland. I realize it was a Saturday night, but I had expected more from this establishment. Additionally, we were not rude or off putting to our waitress, but were a bit shocked that she didn't seem to make more of an effort. Hopefully the management can establish a rhythm for their team and improve their efficiency. read more

What a pathetic place to eat. I ordered the special 16oz T-Bone Steak which according to the menu came with hand cut sweet potato fries and asparagus. I got a T-Bone minus the filet? WTF... minus the filet? ... and potato tots on wilted lettuce. My wife's cosmo was watered down. I have eaten here in the past and ordered a tito's on the rocks... then I went across the street and ordered a tito's on the rocks at Sedona and Wow! what a difference. Watered down tito's at the GAP. Full strength at Sedona. Save your money and go ANYWHERE else. Oh... and we wanted to sit inside because it was cold and we thought the TVs would be working to watch some baseball/football games and they weren't with the explanation that they took the cable boxes for use outside. And Oh... we ordered Calamari and they brought out our entrees without bringing the Calamari first. How many strikes do you need to be out? The Pville GAP spends too much $$ on atmosphere and not enough on food! read more
