Kristiana ColandreaMarch 23, 2016I found this place on accident and am so so glad I did! The food is UNBELIEVABLE !! The Guinness Casserole and Shepard's Pie are hands down the two best dishes you will ever eat!
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014Plough & the Stars consistently pours one of the best Guinness pints in town and the rich and hearty shepherd's pie will stick in your mind as well as on your ribs.

- David RosenbloomNovember 24, 2014Love the sausage rolls and the UK beer selection. Not a bad place to watch the game either; they have a big projector screen on the wall.
Bloody Mary's are really good. Quality Irish breakfast at all times. Play most major football (soccer) games.
Olessya KApril 22, 2013Absolutely fantastic, perfectly proportioned eggs Benedict with lump crab meat and bloody Mary "with a kick" ♡
Robert SilvermanMay 10, 2015Nice ambiance marred only by a ginormous plasma screen. I didn't come here to watch TV. The service was good but not particularly friendly. The Guiness Casserole was scrumptious though.
Fish and Chips. Wings, there buffalo sauce is awesome. Grab a loaf of the soda bread to go.
Mary DenisovaMay 17, 2013Nice place inside and outside. Sitting in the sun, enjoying food and drinks, watch people running from one place to another. The only minus is noisy busses...
James WeberMay 2, 2013Awesome food, great staff!! Weather your eating inside or outside the atmosphere is on of the best in Old City.
Jennifer HaveyMay 4, 2013Quiet during the day, but definitely picks up at night. Friendly bartender. Be sure to get the Evil Eye IPA while they still have it!
KirkApril 15, 2015Guinness casserole was very good. The sauce along with the beef and mashed potatoes superb
Fred WiesingerApril 12, 2014What an awesome menu. Ham and Cabbage to Rack of Lamb. And the beer selection. Needless to say , I'll be back soon.
StephenShamrocks84November 27, 2011A great name that represents the struggles, but thats it, a wee bit Lace Curtain Irish for me, actually a lot of lace curtain for me, ill tale Paddys on 2nd and Race comparable to the btgm of titanic
MyPhillyAliveJuly 7, 2012Look for John Joe the bartender.. Great Scottish bartender. Tell him Jeff sent you. Also, good Irish bands every Friday night.
ErinOctober 14, 2014Magners on tap and a fire in the fireplace. Great place to step in from the rain.
Shahrzad ShamsMarch 28, 2021Baily’s Irish coffee+ a scoop of Ice Cream makes a nice afternoon treat :)
Lauren CrossleySeptember 27, 2010If you don't mind a lot of people around you and you want to listen to good music this is the place to be! Or if your celebrating a birthday because they announce your name over and over and dedicate
Sue BJanuary 3, 2012The address is 123 Chestnut St but the entrance is well up 2nd St, close to the parking garage.- Say hi to John Joe the bartender. He's one of the best in the city.
Very crowded and never any specials, but the awesome music makes up for it!
