My friends and I have been coming here since they opened 20 years ago! Never once have we had a bad time! The food is next level, always have good drink specials, and they have three different dining rooms! The wagyu slides are a MUST! read more

I've reviewed Three Monkeys Cafe before as it is one of my favorite restaurants. Casual dining, fun atmosphere, and great and consistent food. This review is all about the dessert. I'm a chocolate dessert person but their Monkey Bread is to die for. Bread chunks with cinnamon sugar, caramel, a little chocolate sauce and candies walnuts. This dessert even had my non-dessert eating friend going back for more and more! read more

I can't believe their "pasta" is not spaghetti. They advertise spaghetti but you get cheap-ass rigatoni noodles. Fire the chef. We are no longer ordering read more

The breezy mild afternoon prompted us to find outdoor dining options for dinner on Memorial Day - despite the 3 monkeys history for being super crowded on the "weekends" we crossed our fingers and drove by. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best... making the turn - no parking as usual... but...did I spy some empty patio seating? Indeed, I did! First time on the patio. The cheery colorful decor at the 3 monkeys captivates and immediately lightens your spirits; the primate punch helps a lot with that as well. As I sat enjoying the beautiful weather I couldn't help but think despite how nice it is outside, some care could go to upkeep and cleaning outside. I understand outdoor dining is different than indoor yet before opening it couldn't hurt to run a leaf blower to clear the tree debris and the patio could use a good monthly power washing to make those colors pop. As always our food was to our standards albeit the patio service is a lot slower than the indoor. Our evening was relaxed and well enjoyed and we look forward to spending more evenings on the 3 monkeys patio. read more

Easier to get tables here on weekday evenings than weekends. Seems quite popular with locals. There's seating inside and outside, there are also some TVs around to watch sports or whatever show they have playing! Metal tables and chairs outside with bar seating and booths mostly inside. Some decorations around as well (monkey themed). Food was okay. One of our items was put in wrong and we were unable to find our server for about 10-15 minutes after we received the dishes so we could not alert her of the issue immediately. In addition, my chicken tasted like fish. Seems like they had fried a fish in the fryer at the same time, or right beforehand. The pretzels are good though! read more

We came here for a little drink after a long day of work. Wow wow the outside portion is so beautiful and there's plenty of space and area to chill, watch the game, catch up with friends or have a memorable date night. The decor was so beautiful and eclectic you felt like you were transported to a tropical island. That being said the drinks were really good and it was well priced. We also had an order of their award winning house wings with the house sauce and they were delicious and totally worthy of all the awards!! The house sauce had a great kick and the wings can come fried or smoked but we chose smoked and it was pretty good! Another great thing about the place, you can bring your dog and they'll definitely enjoy the place as well! read more

I'm a local, so I've been here a bunch but finally decided to do a review. I guess you could say I enjoy myself too much to take time to take pictures before eating. The food is always great! I'm a sucker for some bang bang shrimp and this place does not disappoint! The shrimp has a perfect crunch and the sauce they use is not spicy but has a kick! The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was AMAZING! The chicken was so juicy and the bun was amazing! Spicy spicy spicy! Tater tots are nothing to write home about but very good! The Philly cheesesteak dip was great as well! The little pretzel bites it came with were great too! Fluffy and warm! Didn't have the wrap, but my friend enjoy it quite a bit! The service is always amazing. It can get busy (like any well established place) but that doesn't stop the servers from coming around every few minutes to make sure everything's good! My favorite part of this place is the vibe and ambiance. It's almost hidden on a side road off of two main roads. The building itself looks nice, but outside (when it's nice out of course) they have this courtyard for outside dining and an outside bar. Great place to go with friends and mingle with others! They have monkeys posted all over this place and the decorations are amazing! Love the place for what it is and the cost to service and food is unbeatable! read more

The menu looked super exciting and I was really looking forward to brunch. We were greeted by a very nice young lady at the door and our waitress was awesome! I ordered the Bacon & Egg Eggrolls for the table. Very nicely presented delicious and the spicy ketchup was a nice touch. The Espresso Martini was incredibly basic and nothing to rave about, especially for $11. Here's a side by side picture (3 Monkey's on the left and another restaurant in Center City on the right) of Espresso Martinis at the same price point. The one on the right tasted wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the one from 3 Monkey's, very generic. You can see the one on the left is very thin as well. I was excited to try the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffle Sliders. Sadly, the chicken was overcooked, there were 2 orders at our table, the same for both. The chicken was dry and it was not well seasoned. The vanilla waffle was okay and I was looking for a whisky touch to the syrup but didn't experience it. One of my friends ordered the Apple Walnut Salad with Salmon and thought it was good. It was a fun atmosphere and it's a super cute establishment. Because everything I had didn't work out as I expected, I'd still encourage you to experience 3 Monkey's for yourself. Cheers! read more

This little tavern off the highway in Philadelphia is really great. I got in just after they opened. They accommodated me immediately with a nice lunch menu and full bar. I've never tried a turkey burger before so I decided to be adventurous and go with their turkey burger special with balsamic vinaigrette, mozzarella slices, tomato, onion and spring mix lettuce. Since I had a long drive ahead of me to Cape May, New Jersey I decided to go for a mocktail version of my all time favorite drink, the Moscow Mule. Next time I'll be a little more relaxed and more inclined to booze it up definitely when I come back with friends. read more

I had the salmon and a nicely crafted cocktail for lunch. I sat inside at my mom's request, but the outside was more lively. Lunch for three ran around $100. The staff were polite as well. Nice place to come for drinks after work or just to chill with friends. read more

I ordered off of uber eats. It came in a sealed bag for safety. Everything was cooked to Perfection and perfectly warm at the hand off. For starters i had potato and cheese pierogies. They were perfectly cooked they were not soggy at all. They came with sour cream and they were topped with green onion and bacon. I also ordered the salmon meal off the chef's specialties. Again the salmon was perfectly cooked fluffy rice and asparagus. If I lived in the area this would be probably one of my favorite places to go to. read more

We arrived around 12:30, was seated immediately in the room next to the bar, I mistakenly thought this would be better than the loud bar area. There was a party of 8 women in the middle of the dining room who were talking and cackling so loud that it was ear piercing. It ruined the entire experience for us before we even received our meals. Two of the three meals were good. The scrapple Sliders and Eggs Benny were very good. Our daughter ordered the most simplest meal of three eggs over easy and toast and received three eggs hard cooked, inedible to her. Showed our server when she checked back but were done eating at that point. She was very nice and apologetic but they still remained on our bill which was disappointing. Not sure I'd recommend or rush back anytime soon. read more

Food is satisfying and reasonably well prepared, & prices are steep but competitive for the relatively upscale AMBIENCE . It gets really packed Fri.&Sat. nights, so eat early or call ahead, esp. on MAJOR HOLIDAY WEEKENDS, and on big SPORTS EVENTS NIGHTS. (AS far as I know, they don't REQUIRE RESERVATIONS, but calling ahead is advisable for parties of 3 or more, on most weekends. read more

Longtime customer. Always good service and food. Had a minor issue regardng the TV tonight 3/14/2025. There are 3 tv's at the bar. Nobody was watching the middle tv. I asked the bar tender to chang the channel, she did. Two minutes later the manager comes in and changes the channel. I said to him nobody is looking at the tv except for me and my wife and he gave me some flip answer. The manager was arrogant as hell. Rather than spend any more money we left. If I decide to go again I will call first and make sure he is not there. He should learn how to talk to customers. Apparently he does not realize there are many good restaurants we can go to in the area. Bartender was good, food was good. One star rating is because the manager doesn't know how to talk to customers. read more

Very pub like place; pretty crowded, lively, and has plenty of seating. The servers were nice and timely as well as the food despite how busy they are. We had the Nashville chickens and they were amazing. Nice crispy crust; juicy chicken paired with a huge soft waffle. Then the syrup ties it all together. The dish has a great kick of spice to it and lingers. Just right for a Nashville chicken. The salmon avacado toast on the other hand had the exact opposite effect. It was a bit dissatisfying. The dish had an overpowering fermented taste to it. The avacado were pretty scarce but they did put a decent amount of smoked salmon. Nice sunny side up egg and potatoes. Overall it was a hit and a miss, but I would definitely come back to try their other dishes. Not a bad place to eat if you don't mind the crowded and lively atmosphere. read more

Good food. Quirky, fun decor. Decent service, but suggest not going with a group, even during the day on a weekday when the restaurant isn't busy. Despite being told in an email by Ben Andersen, the general manager, "We will be able to host you if your group is still interested. However, we only do check split up to 4 ways at tables." Instead of any check splitting, no separate checks were permitted for two rows of tables of 18 people, all of us on one check and an automatic 20% gratuity was added. read more

Everything about this place is a 10/10. Fantastic service from Bella. Food came out fast! Absolutely delicious. A+++ wings. One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. The birria tacos could fully replace my antidepressants. And the collaged kitsch that adorns every wall keeps you visually entertained while you anticipate the culinary excellence that awaits you! read more

The food was good, especially the Monkey Toast. It was a little loud for a Sunday morning when there weren't many people. We sat near the kitchen and I kept hearing profanities being yelled from the kitchen staff while I was eating, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children. My wife really liked it here so we'll be back. read more

Never a bad time here. If you're able to, head here in the summer time ! The outdoor patio has a great beach vibe going. The food & drinks are very good & the portion sizes are ample. I especially love going here for brunch on the weekends. (Although their lunch and dinner choices are great too). The steak & eggs is *chefs kiss* . The sirloin is very tender and pairs well with over easy eggs (that's how I like them anyways) . I've also had the French toast, highly recommend. If you're trying to decide on a dinner place, this hidden gem in Northeast Philly is def worth the hype! read more

Different cheesesteak #1018 in the last four years. This was an Island paradise in northeast Philly. I upgraded my cheesesteak to a monkey steak. I'm glad I did. I didn't like the $17 price but the place was decorated so well I got over it. I took a picture of the menu so you can see what makes a cheesesteak a monkey steak. Traditionalist aren't going to like this cheesesteak but everyone else will. read more

Came cross Three Monkeys cafe while on Yelp looking for something new. Scroll thru the menu on Yelp is definitely a plus, thx yelpers. Three Monkeys Cafe is located across from Reginal rail R7/Trenton Line Torresdale Station. There are plenty of parking(street parking or $2 paid parking) so don't worry about that. When we arrived, there was a wait of 20 minutes, we waited. Once we were seated, our waitress Laura took our drinks immediately. Since this is our first time, I ask Laura for suggestions on their sweet alcoholic beverages. She suggest Monkey Tea Monkey Do and Chocolate Martini. MTMD tastes so freaking delicious that we had order a second:). We order Bang Bang Shrimp as our appetizer. It comes in 2 per order, so me and hubby shared that. Perfectly fried and seasoned very well. As for entrees, we ordered Baja shrimp wrap, Lobster Mac and Cheese, Poseidon's Pot Pie, and Seared Scallops. Hubby's favorite was the Baja shrimp wrap and Lobster Mac. While my favorite was Poseidon's pot pie and Seared Scallops. Especially the Seared Scallops, whatever they put in the entree, it was really good, I clean that whole plate lol. Hubby clear his baja wrap too. We order a bit too much food, so we got he rest to-go. It didn't stop us from getting dessert th, we order Monkeys Bread. Bottom is cinnamon roll top with ice cream, whipped cream, syrup, and walnuts. We ate the top but couldn't eat the bottom bread, it was too sweet for both of us. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Three Monkeys, but I always love when I dine here. We were delighted to see a special menu and went for it! The Reuben sandwich was perfectly toasted with delicious melted cheese. I loved the kielbasa instead of the usual pastrami. The bourbon wings had a spicy kick in addition to the sweet apple flavor. I don't typically double up on coffee based drinks, but I couldn't resist! Go check it out and welcome the fall inspired options! read more

When I'm in town visiting friends and family, this place is always a must on my to-eat list. It's located across from the Torresdale train station, and it's typically crowded on weekends. Be prepared to wait for 45 minutes for a table. I love eating here when the weather is nice, because there's a great outdoor seating area. Inside is a bit worn down, but I think it adds to its charm. There's a few TVs with the local games going, and a lot of people will pack the place during playoff season and big game nights. The beer and alcohol menu is extensive, and I like that there's always a cider or two on tap. The prices are reasonable and the hour hour deals are decent. There's typically a waitress running around making sure your drink is full and you're not waiting for a refill or another beer to drink. I like the menu, because items are clearly marked gluten free and/or vegan. It makes it super accessible and easy to navigate. Plus, the staff are trained to answer any questions about ingredients instead of making things up or making assumptions. I love getting one of the cauliflower pizzas. I always ask for no bacon, and it's easily done. My friends and I have never had problems with our orders, and the portions are a good size. The food is pretty good, and it's always made fresh. If you're looking for a good place to grab a beer and dinner, I highly recommend this place. It's a little loud, but I think it adds to the charm, because it's a ton of friends and family coming together. It's a local spot for sure. read more

Let's start off with Service =) Monica was AMAZING! Let me first start off with that, when it comes to amazing customer service...which is rare I love to shout it out, she was very attentive, on point, kind & took care of us as well as her other guests & her section was actually full. KUDOS to her! APPETIZERS: Cheesesteak Egg Rolls- These were yummy & very flavorful, not too oily & went great with ketchup Buffalo Shrimp-Nice & Saucy & went great with the blue cheese yum! DRINKS: Sangria Carafe- this was not too bad a lil too sweet & could use a lil more liquor but it was nice to try Monkey Vice-cute name with a twist on the Miami vice which was a strawberry daiquiri mixed with pina colada Forgot the other drink name, but there was no complaints FOOD: Seafood Pasta- I really enjoyed my seafood pasta, the Alfredo was on point, penne cooked al dente and it was just enough seafood...was so filling I had it for lunch and dinner the next day and it got better and better California Salmon Wrap w/ tater tots- Heard it was really good this was going to be my second choice but Alfredo is my weakness, tater tots were nice and crispy We enjoyed the experience at three monkeys cafe, have no complaints & will be back to enjoy the brunch menu very soon. Thank you for the great food, great experience and cute decor read more

Nice beer selection. We love this place. read more

If you're needing a good Sunday brunch, you know where to go! Take your friends and have a drink or two :) The mimosas made your way, if bought by the bottle, which I recommend! As well as a chocolate martini, why not?? To start off we had the bacon eggrolls. They were so good, we almost wanted a second order. The eggs your way was a good entree though if you wanted that classic brunch meal, with the tastiest homefries and toast. This place has a big community vibe with a great staff. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by! read more

This place was adorable! Went for brunch on a Sunday...(which allows for FREE parking in the lots that day). Only had to wait 30 minutes after putting our name in and they were able to pop a call to my cell phone to alert us the table was ready...great customer service! The decor is IG pic worthy for sure! Monkey everything! ... so in fashion, I ordered one of the many monkey themed dishes...to which I was surprised and delighted when they arrived to the table. Tried the Monkey Rolls (Chicken Tender dipped in Honey Mustard- wrapped in a Vanilla pancake; served with Peach Whisky syrup)... just drooling... it was the perfect mix of salty/sweet! A lot of the brunch drinks included either chocolate or coffee (if your a fan)..., the service was TOP NOTCH- would absolutely go back!!! read more

Never had an iffy experience here until last night. I know how busy cooks can get when they are preparing food during the dinner rush, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I reserved a table for 2 for 6:00pm. Once we were seated, our waitress came over (I think her name was Vanessa) and asked us what we wanted to drink. I ordered the red sangria. It was strong, but it was tasty. We went with the Primate Pretzel as our appetizer. It did not disappoint! The smoked Gouda dip it came with was so savory. I'm a cheese lover, but I've never had Gouda with a pretzel and it was the most delicious pairing. The Buffalo Cauliflower burger sounded fantastic. It was an item that I had never seen on their menu before so I ordered it. The cauliflower was breaded and deep fried and smothered with buffalo wing sauce. They also toss in some blue cheese crumbles. The bun was buttery. Mmm it will have your mouth watering when it arrives at the table! My only issue with this visit was a random piece of metal I found underneath my chips. I'm not that girl to complain if my food is cold or if something is forgotten to be brought to the table, but this was a piece of metal that I could've choked on. I flagged down our waitress and explained what I saw and she lifted the plate and examined the metal. She had no idea what it was, but she said, "I'm so sorry about that... you know, this happens every once in a while." Not exactly what I wanted to hear as a customer, but she said cooks tend to throw stuff around the kitchen. She offered me a brand new side of chips and when she came back, she let me know that they were going to comp the burger for me just because. She took the piece of metal back to the kitchen. Our Monkey Bread dessert was phenomenal. It tasted like a warm cinnamon roll in a skillet. It was topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Very filling, we couldn't finish it! Food was great, except for the small mishap with the metal. Service was good. The outdoor seating compliments the restaurant nicely. read more

Fun Spot with a great old pub feel and colorful patio. The smash burger I had was good, fries were on the salty side. Service was great.

Amazing service food and great vibes. Been there 2 times already in the last 2 weeks. I adore the attention to detail, the quality of the service, the food and the ambiance. Looking forward to an evening trip before summer is over. Amazing drink varieties. Highly recommend the orange crush cocktail for a nice refreshing cocktail for brunch, lunch or dinner in the summer. Dine al fresco if weather permits! Love this place! read more
