Philly.com: This place packs 'em in with its Turf Burger, named for creator Ryan Overturf – 8 oz. of Black Angus with fried onions, jalapeño peppers, bacon, chipotle aioli, and cheese on a country white roll. Read more.
Kristin Flip Polidoro: Great neighborhood bar! Turf burger is one of the best in the city (and $5 on Tuesdays!). Everything else is solid like the Turkey Reuben and chicken sandwiches (all $5 on Mondays).
Maddie Lippincott: If burgers are your thing, get their award-winning burger. It deserves every bit of recognition it's gotten. Fries are incredible, too, with the chipotle sauce. Place is cash only, though.

B.J. Ellis: Very nice place to bowl. The food is good and the staff is very friendly. They make pretty good drinks. Good late night spot for groups but good for kids in the afternoon.
mdawaffe: Funnel cake fries.
Adam H: Craft draft beer at good prices ($4.5-$5), parking lot behind, and a second bar upstairs. Identical vibe to North Bowl, but even bigger. Looking forward to checking out the roof deck part in summer.
