Food & Wine Best Burgers in Philly: Angus burger is sweet, spicy , & salty from toppings: bacon , caramlzed onions , pickled long hots, smoked gouda & chile mayo . Award-winning fav on burger bucket list.

If you're thinking of passing on this gastropub - don't. Seriously - get in there! Amazing variety incl killer veg options . Service was pleasant, food was decadent, atmosphere was relaxed + fun - yum!

Stephanie Ann

Peach Milkshake Truffle Fries ......... OH My!!! They have great vegetarian options and even some good vegan options .

Vanessa Cope

Great service! Decent beer list . AMAZING food. Busy dive bar atmosphere. Short rib grilled cheese and wild mushroom bisque were heavenly. Old Bay fires were cooked perfectly. Love!

Billie Jo Hayes

Love it! Quirky, punky, loud and little. Best burger , hands down! Great vegan options , unique beer options changed often. Staff knowledgable on beer list . GF accommodating!

Little wonder the music is good at the Royal Tavern in Bella Vista - the guys behind this bar are Stephen Simons and David Frank, from the Khyber, and Bryan Dilworth, of Electric Factory Concerts . Read more

Meatloaf Sandwich . Meatloaf , bacon , crispy mushrooms , fried egg , cheddar , and tomato glaze on white bread . There’s also a pretty wicked vegan sloppy joe for non-meat eaters.

Lauren Smith

Unassuming pub from the outside has great food inside with lots of veg/vegan options. Same owners as royal sushi and cantina.

Erin Danielle

Loved my burger it was super amazing and the malt mayo with the fries was heavenly. I can’t wait to come back here.

Brendan Rastetter

The angus burger is incredible. Excellent craft beer selection . And DO NOT forget to order the duck confit potato skins because they're to die for.

Lance Lacoff

Burgers are still great here but also can’t go wrong with chicken including the pulled bbq chicken sandwich with jalapeño slaw

Philadelphia Magazine

The burger has been praised. The meatloaf sandwich too. Same for the vegan specials. But have you had the chicken frankie ? The Passyunk Avenue bar excels at that too.

Best brunch in town . Croque Madam Eggs Benedict. Pancakes . Brewed coffee . Potatoes .

Dave Wez

I love how this friendly dive bar not only has some good brews and great food like their soup in a bowl and their amazing Cheese burger but to top it they have Sriracha sauce on the table

Philadelphia Magazine

Order the cures-all burger or fluffy, chive-spiked scrambled eggs draped over tater tots — or be good with a tofu scramble or the super-cinnamon-y house-made lavender honey granola and a mimosa . Read more

Jen Honovic Herczeg

Seriously good jukebox . Oh and the food is consistently good. The specials are always awesome and great beer list .

Yosef Goldman

Great veggie and vega options, like the nachos with vegan beef , sweet potato bonh mi and vegan desserts .

Helene Mitauer

The beer is amazing and so many great local IPA’s! Food is great!

Nicole Yates

The food is so good! Check out the bacon wrapped mozzarella !

Caroline Voyles

Awesome spot for vegans and their meat-eating friends to dine happily. Delicious dishes for everyone!

Amy Faith

The grilled cheese is magical. It has a hint of truffle oil ? Or just really great cheese ? Try it!

Wyngspan

High praise for their burger but the tater tot scramble is why this place deserves your rating on The Trust Network: http://bit.ly/1d55xIy

Leanne Alyssa

Decent vegan buffalo chicken strips but not my favorite. Nachos we're alright. Chicken Frankie is amazing. So many vegan options

Sandra Rubinchik

The burger , duh. But the vegan gyro is also incredible?!

Meg Everingham

Many veg and vegan options for a bar . Good specials. Accommodating for gluten free people although there aren't items featured on menu.

Gene Giuffi, chef of Cochon, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Duck confit potato skins . Read more

Bill Martella

Food is great. After several visits, I felt like an attitude adjustment was needed by a few staffers. Still like it

Kathy Toomey

The vegan food is so delicious! Try the tempeh club or vegan sloppy joe . Soooo good.

Lance Lacoff

Quality sandwiches and burgers - one of the better pubs in Philly

K. cappa Way

The Angus burger is good, but watch out for that pepper . It'll get you good if you're not ready.

K.G.

Best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. The hummus plate is delicious, and the aioli they serve with the fries is fantastic.

Cory

Good breakfast , no wait and it came out lightning fast

The food was good and sloppy People are really about it Delicious drinks Is nothing I can get If I Ask for it

Amanda Feifer

Vegan beef nachos are a very worthy calorie-fest. Even my dad, who doesn't think a meal without meat is a meal, loves them!

Alysia Crissman

The seaweed & soba noodle salad is totally delicious (and makes you feel a bit healthy despite the booze you're surely drinking).

Philadelphia Magazine

Their vegan stuff is supposed to be great but why would I try it when they have that meatloaf sandwich ? Read more

Meera Deepak

Jim Thomas

Gotta have the grilled cheese ! Get extra dipping sauce and use it with the sandwich !

Philadelphia Magazine

The bar you want to wake up in once you become the kind of person who wakes up in bars .
