5 stars for Bud and Marilyn's? I recently gave The Love 5 stars for its fried chicken!…read more The Marilyn's Fried Chicken I had this evening was every bit as good! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

LIFE IS TOO SERIOUS TO NOT HAVE FUN WHEN YOU GO OUT TO EAT !!!!!…read more You know those really special places, the ones that feel like an extension of your home, the ones that become institutions of date nights? That's this place. My wife and have eaten here well over 75 times over the last few years and my goodness it just keeps getting consistently better and better. The people are all so friendly, welcoming, and know how to make sure you have a great time out - whether it's a low key burger night or your whole ass wedding (yes you should also get married here 10/10 recommend). There's not a bad thing on the menu, either. They keep the staples around but swap in seasonal treats and flavors all the time. Get the chocolate cake to go, you won't regret it.

Hello all, Preface,…read moreSaturday morning and busy. All the staff were communicative and friendly. My only complaint is, I ordered specifically the pancake, scrambled eggs w/cheese (no cheese) and apple chicken sausage, as sides. The sides came out approximately 20 min before the pancake. As you can see, my GF practically finished her food and drink by the time the pancake came out. I can tell by the way the restaurant is ran, (self seating, order, pay then seat yourself. Grab your own water, cups, drinks and utensils, etc) they focus on effectiveness and efficiency. But sometimes efficiency I.e, putting in orders immediately, bringing them out whenever cooked, prioritizing specific items to save time and move tables... this clearly can throw off the eating experience and minimize the... feeling of connectivity and comfort. Again, the food and staff are great. The experience, paired with the relatively loud and visually chaotic ambiance, the incoherence seating orientation, not so much. All in all, I'd go back, but certainly wouldn't be a top pick. It's a okay to have several options. But if you're looking for a place you can submerge yourself into, do minimal work and simply enjoy the experience with guest... I wouldn't recommend this place

I'd heard the fish and chips were something special here, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. A generous piece of fish, fried beautifully -- not greasy at all -- that flaked perfectly with every bite. My niece doesn't eat fish, and even she took a bite and approved. High praise. But honestly? The star of the evening were the Madras Curry deviled eggs. Outstanding. Truly. And the dip with the perfectly toasted bread was equally impressive -- everything was prepared with real care. The drinks were lovely, and the atmosphere is in a category all its own. There is so much to look at. You could spend hours in there and still not catch everything on the walls. It's the kind of place that earns a second visit just to take it all in. Highly recommend -- whether it's a birthday, a date, or any excuse to get to Philly.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.
