The fried chicken is SOOOO delicious. And, it came with the perfect biscuit. Drinks were also good (and strong). Pricey place but worth a try!

Good atmosphere. I highly recommend the fried chicken and biscuit. Very tasty. Prices are reasonable. The only thing to improve on is many of the tables are extremely close to each other. Cool place!

Food & Wine Best Burgers in Philly: Interior evokes classic Americana, is almost as beautiful as the burger: two beef patties, yellow cheddar, Nueske's bacon, red onion, shredded lettuce & pickles.

The cheese curds are great, but the Nashville Hot Buns are really where it's at. Make sure you order these too (why just pick one?)

Come here for brunch. Cheese curds are legit. Biscuits and gravy were just okay, but the crunchy almond french toast is a must have, same with the bloody mary!

Great bar/counter happy hour on weekdays from 5 to 7. Lots of delicious small plates for ~$5 (including the Nashville hot chicken bun).

Comfort food done well. The fried chicken is excellent and so is the meatloaf. Portions are quite large and are better enjoyed when shared.

This place is beyond anyone’s wildest dreams! I had and would recommend the cheese curds, Nashville bun and the short ribs stroganoff.

Cheese curds are mandatory. Everything else, like lemon ricotta pancakes or the chicken bucket, is good too

We shared the Chicken in a Bucket and Funfetti Cake. Great drinks and atmosphere too!!

Their cheese curds are amazing. Perfect fancy dinner before a night in the Gayborhood.

Great, inventive dishes. Open kitchen makes you smell like fried chicken otherwise a lovely experience.

After 10pm night owl specials: beer & a shot for $6, cheese curds for $6, Bud’s Burger for $10. Nashville Hot Buns are amazing.

Beef stroganoff and jumbalaya were incredible! Drinks too.

Interesting happy hour combos that are absolutely delicious!!

Everything is amazing here but the hot buttered buns are a must!
Rob McGowanJuly 17, 2018
Try the cheese curds and Nashville Hot Sliders during happy hour. Retro/60s vibe.

Cocktails are well crafted. Service is exceptional. Food however was less than impressive.
Josh MartinAugust 25, 2021
Thought the chicken sandwich and fries were very underwhelming. Great cocktail and ambience, though.

Fried chicken - can't go wrong.

Sea scallops were excellent
Andie HuberOctober 14, 2018
Cheese curds and buffalo chicken buns. Omg yum.
RCNovember 22, 2015
Pu Pu Platter is the best option. Chicken was dry and the stroganoff wasn't memorable. Service is OK and the kitchen plays the "we serve the food at OUR pace not the customer's." Pass...
