I don't live in Philly, but this is easily one of my favorite bars in the world. Great list of whiskey , scotch and rye . Always there after dinner for a rye and cask ale .

Every list of Philly's top burgers includes Jose Garces' Rittenhouse Square bar , whose specialty burger is served on a sesame-seed roll with tomato , Bibb lettuce & Thousand Island dressing . Read more

Amazing cocktails , especially the Bee Charmer and Commodore. Don't forget to try their fried pickles as well . The space is a bit tiny so it can get a little crowded but it's absolutely wonderful.

David

Besides the American whiskeys , they have an extensive selection of scotch , and international whiskies , e.g. Kavalan, Amrut Fusion, and some lesser known Japanese whiskies .

Jason Jenkins

The best shrimp and grits I have had outside grandma's kitchen... No frills or foo foo, just straight flavor.. And they even toss in an egg !

Layla Alotaibi

OMG the Chicago dog is the best hot dog I've ever had in my life ???????? and their milkshakes are not to be missed! Amazing staff and service too.

Bree Trooshie

They had an awesome Whiskey list and their house made bacons were delicious, but the menu was overpriced and it was very cramped. Would go back only for drinks and bacon , not a meal

PureWow

This burger is yolk porn at its finest. Oh, but if you’re not in the mood for an egg , you can also get it topped with horseradish crab salad . #yesplease Read more

Best burger in Philly hands down. Decadence at its finest. Foie gras , truffled mushrooms , bleu cheese , fried egg and bacon . Bring on the heart attack!

Philadelphia Magazine

Try the Tater tots . The duck fat fries may get all the attention at Jose Garces’s bar , but his version of the frozen-food-aisle favorite is the real spud-centric star. Read more

josephine huang

Don't forget to get a fried egg with your burger . And the amazing Nutella milkshake !!

Billie Jo Hayes

I had the Whiskey wait experience. Not worth doing it again. Drinks = awesome! Waited 3+ hrs to eat at 11:30 pm. Get on the list early to avoid wondering if they forgot to call your cell.

The Whiskey King burger is the epitome of decadence. Truly delicious. If you aren't into foie gras however, you can put together your own burger from the variety of available toppings.

Steven Leist

There is a waiter who reminds me of Aaron eckhart. The burger was amazing and now a fan of scotch and whiskey . They also have fries fried in duck fat . (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

If you are there for dinner , don't think too much about what to order. Go with the Village Burger and Duck Fat Fries and call it a day.

The Harvest Moon – made with apple brandy , warm spiced cider and honey – is perfect for seeing off this week's frigid #PolarVortex. Pair with an order of tater tots . Read more

Brendan Rastetter

Order the Whiskey King Burger topped with foie gras , bacon and bleu cheese . Get it with a side of duck fat fries . So worth it!

Sarah Fernandez

Don't be deterred by the waitlist. Leave your name, then catch the bartender 's eye and wait in the back til a seat opens up at the bar . Best cocktails in the city .Enjoy an old-fashioned with a burger .

Sophie

Everyone raves about the burger and the fries -- rightfully so -- but you MUST try their lobster mac and cheese . It is divine.

bill biskup

Good selection. Excellent cocktails and unbelievable duck fat fries !

Allie Ilagan

Order the thick-cut, bacon-topped Whiskey King burger from Iron Chef Jose Garces' acclaimed whiskey bar , which earned 2 bells from critic Craig LaBan. You won't be disappointed.

Niraj Desai

You cannot go wrong with the grilled chicken sammich . I shit you not it is deliciousness. Do it. Oh and be prepared...those long hots will make you sweat!

Clay Williams

Whiskey and burgers from the Spanish chef behind Amada and Tinto. High end pub grub and a booze and beer selection to explore for hours.

Faris Ibraheem

Burgers on sesame seeds buns ? Checked. Asks for goat cheese , gets cheddar instead. Oh, well ...

Philadelphia Magazine

During the off hours, this is one of the best places in the city for a classy drink paired with a surprisingly amazing $3 order of tater tots . Read more

Jip van Kuijk

Amazing cocktails ! Great burgers , didn't like the cheddar cheese sauce for my fries that much though.

Best burger I’ve had in Philly! Highly recommended!!

Brittany

Duck Fat Fries are amazing. Get the cheese on the side. Burger was superb. Lobster Mac was delish.

Huda Alfaris

Good burger and fries but they need to work on their service and hygiene

Krysta Kenny

Bloody Mary's are great! Village burger was to die for and the duck fried French fries were amazing!

Gary Noe

Good food but adequate on whiskey selections . Good service . A decent beer selection . Try the burgers !

Megan Filipp

If you are not staying for dinner , I highly recommend the shortrib and cheese fries . Life changing.

C M

If you find yourself here for brunch get the Chicken & Waffles , you won't be disappointed.

Elaine Lee

Best burgers . Huge whiskey selection . Pulled pork sandwiches are good too.

Mike McCarron

Rumor has it the Whisky King burger is the BEST BURGER EVER... I have not personally had it but their other burgers are fantastic too.

Adam May

Great burgers , good service

David Kraus

Insane selection of whiskey ... Skip it all and try four roses ! Village burger and herb cherry tomatoes are also a fantastic addition.

Nikolas Rofos

The best food in town !! Not just the burgers , you have to try the lobster Mac and cheese !

Brendan O'Leary

Get the burger and at least two of their wide array of pickles . The whiskey list is huge!

Follow Foodie

They put time and care into their old fashioned. You can taste the difference.

RC

The burger are, obviously, great. But, the whiskey king is just too much. Stick to the simple fixins and get some tots .

Daniel Fala

The Village Whisky burger is the best burger I've had in a LONG time

Meghan Hall

One of the best burgers of my life. Worth whatever the wait may be!

Arielle

Definitely the burger and share the short rib cheese fries if you have room

Jason Rappaport

If you don't get the duck fat fries with cheddar sauce and short ribs , you're doing it wrong.

Chase Vandergrift

They're not on the options list but the pickled beets are amazing on the burger . Especially good with a fried egg .

Food Network
