Street Road Bar and Grill

3631 Street Rd
Bensalem, PA 19020

Dontae W. writes: Upon first walking in "redneck"  will probably come to mind.  I overheard some people joking about it when they walked in.  But thats only at first appearance. Persons from all backgrounds seem to frequent the place.   It is a relatively small place…

Keswick Tavern

294 N Keswick Ave
Glenside, PA 19038

Carrie E. writes: Let's just put it this way - if you're going to a show at the Keswick Theater right across the street and you don't have a lot of time or preference about what it is you're shoving in your mouth, then this place is just right.

It's not that it was a…

1221 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19107

Gioia Mia Ristorante
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

2025 Sansom St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Mihir S. writes: Cute little restaurant on Sansom. Very good service but a bit apprehensive as the staff didn't have the best command of the English language (not that it matters to me). The menu is surprisingly big for the size of the restaurant. I didn't find the…

Ben's Shoes, Inc
Neighborhood: Olde City

231 Market St
Philadelphia, PA 19106

Kimberly P. writes: Don't let the domain name fool you, the shoes in Ben's are not cheap. They may be discounted like... $2 dollars but.... Yes, they had some cute shoes but not many. They did have a good selection of cowboy boots (I hate cowboy boots). Plus, the…

Campus Copy Center
Neighborhood: University City

3907 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Kimberly P. writes: Campus Copy, a place to buy ridiculously overpriced bulk-packs for your college classes. Where else would I pay $40 for a stack of about 100 pages of articles? Don't they know that college kids are broke? Campus Copy also ships UPS and lets you copy,…

The Post

Olympia II Pizza & Restaurant
Neighborhood: Society Hill

616 South St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

David F. writes: Honestly, the food here is average and it is probably even below average, but I have such fond memories of stopping here Saturday afternoons to eat a small pizza in between rehearsals that I just had to give it three stars. And the old Greek(?) lady…

Messages
Neighborhood: University City

3621 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Golden Lights Restaurant

160 Easton Rd
Horsham, PA 19044

300 E Main Street
Norristown, PA 19401

1800 Chestnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Tarah H. writes: Do not get a pretzel here.

I was in Philly for a friend's wedding this weekend. What's Philly known for? Cheese steaks and pretzels. The smoothies are also pretty good and far more prevalent than in Boston.

That said, we stopped in after a long morning…

Pennsylvania Turnpike

Philadelphia, PA 19176

Susan G. writes: Awesome that someone wrote a review on this!
First off....we pay for gas...should we really have to pay to "occupy space" briefly on a highway?  I think they charge so much because they are trying to keep up with the crazy amount of rest stops.  And…

Savory Off South
Neighborhood: Society Hill

517 S 5th St
Philadelphia, PA 19195

Ryan C. writes: Savory is a hard location to gauge visually. It reminds me of the anti-starbucks cafes you might find on a liberal arts college campus which sprung from the cafes in the village in nyc which owe the style of low-key parisian cafes...etc etc.

Cute…

Fingers

700 Bethlehem Pike
Glenside, PA 19038

Ryan C. writes: This is better than 3 stars, but the bar area is very old style pub-like which is just not my thing visually. It's like they wanted two different worlds but didn't know that you just can't pair them together.

The juxtaposition is that the dining areas…

Elmwood Park Zoo

1661 Harding Blvd
Norristown, PA 19401

Nathan R. writes: First of all, to be honest, I have some real concerns about the welfare of the animals in this zoo. The enclosures seem awfully small. It's definitely a small-town, low-budget operation. That being said, however, it's a great scale for visiting with…

Papa John's
Neighborhood: Cedarbrook

1555 Wadsworth Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19150

Chrissy R. writes: Ok.. I don't really like Papa John's pizza but they had an online deal for a large pizza really cheap so I ordered it online.  It was easy, but that has nothing to do with this particular shop.

What was great was the delivery!!  I live in a large…

Oregon Diner

302 W Oregon Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19148

Jason M. writes: Is this for reals?  Only one naysayer has reviewed this place?

Christ I'm at a loss for words.  Great baked goods that are so large they must be from some parallel universe where giants dwell.   Typical diner fare that is above quality.  I use to love…

St Stephens Green
Neighborhood: Fairmount

1701 Green Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Kelly S. writes: Okay, I'm a sucker for Irish bars, and I've been to the real St. Stephen's Green in Dublin, which is a very beautiful park and one of the places where the Easter Rising occurred in 1916 (see, I'm a history nerd), so I like this place's name to start…

Sly Fox Brewhouse & Eatery

519 Kimberton Rd
Phoenixville, PA 19460

Brent C. writes: I love the Sly Fox. The beer is great, the service is great, and the food is better than the typical pub fare. The soft pretzel appetizer rocks - just watch out because they come out piping hot. The French onion soup is good and the side garden salad…

Italian Affair Restaurant & Pizza

Double Tree Shopping
Glassboro, NJ 08028

Guppy's Good Times

2 Maple St

This place has an…

Bread and Bagels

1600 Church Rd
Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

Sid U. writes: Judging by the looks of this place, it's been around a long time. I can't explain the odd location and design of this place any other way. I want to interpret that fact as support for its quality.

Eh. It's okay. Ostensibly, the bake their bread fresh…

Kinko's
Neighborhood: Penn Center, Logan Square

2001 Market St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Kevin W. writes: Well, the staff are extremely friendly and that's the only thing keeping this Kinko's location treading water at three stars.  

Polite and talkative as they may be, their service is extremely slow and the place always looks like a mess.  Even worse,…

Zoos

Oregon St
Philadelphia, PA 19102

Jenna C. writes: Like Kevin says, and like I implied in my review of the Turnersville Zoos, Zoos does not really know how to properly take care of its animals.

Most likely because of its location, this Zoos is dirtier than other Zoos I have been to.  It's also teeny…

9456 State Rd
Delair Shopping Plaza
Philadelphia, PA 19114

Red Lobster
Neighborhood: Bustleton

9140 Roosevelt Blvd
Philadelphia, PA 19176

Coco C. writes: Red Lobster is Red Lobster - being that it's a chain restaurant, the food quality from location to location doesn't change much.

Expect the usual tasty treats - coconut shrimp and calamari make amazing appetizers.

However, the service was abhorrent.…

Philadelphia, PA 19122

Kelly S. writes: Meh.  I've had better Chinese food.  But Orient Express is convenient because it's right on Temple's Main Campus, in the strip of food stands on 12th Street, next to the Tech Center and across from the Library.  So I order from here.  I've had lots…

Milk
American Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Minute Steaks.

Park Tavern

701 Park Ave
Palmyra, NJ 08065

Eric P. writes: The great thing about the Park Tavern is that, the whole time you're in there, it seems like somebody's mother is going to come downstairs, ask what the ruckus is, and chase you out.  It's just a relaxed place in Palmyra (which is just on the other…
