This food is Top rated!! More of a fine dining experience than any bar that I have been to

The best food around . Love how the menu always has different verity of food. Friendly staff. All around great place!!

Second visit, Food was very tasty, The service was very good. Reasonable prices. Daily "Specials" were low priced( today's double cheeseburger $12.00 and Beer). Tots can be had with brown gravy. Better-half had Shrimp over pasta, again very good. We were there around 5 PM. Plus for Philadelphians, scrapple sliders!

Service was fine, food was good. It was my first time there as a patron, I noticed the cocktail menu specifically did not have prices next to their options, which is not cool in my book, I’d like to know what I’m paying for before upfront finding out one drink was 24$ alone. I would expect this from a bar uptown in center city. Not a bar on 2st. Lesson learned, I’ll be asking questions so I don’t feel blindsided. But also, it wouldn’t hurt to actually add prices next to your products.

I'll preface this by saying I'm a veteran of O'Jung's. It has changed a lot since I frequented 15 years ago, and realize times have changed, and Lou Jung died (still heartbroken). This place now is for the youngsters. Sadly, it's not warm, nor welcoming anymore unless Harry, Holly or Mike are there. The female bartenders (why are they all blonde?) are all snooty and aloof to female customers. My most recent experience, decided to go watch the Phillies, just hang out, and enjoy some of their "specials." Went in there wearing my O'Jung's shirt from 2008 I found! Had been there for a bit, had a beer and a Jame-O, and decided to order their "chicken fingers and fries special" for $8. Ordered it, and asked for it to go, ordered another beer and Jame-O, and kept watching the game. Food came in the to-go container, kept drinking and watching the game, decided the game was done, needed to get home, asked for the check. The chicken fingers was now $14 because it was "dine-in only!" Laughable and outrageous (I had already spent over $20 on drinks while there)! Asked "Miss Snooty" about it, she said I had to pay the full price since I wasn't eating it there, so I opened it and started eating (WITH NO FRIES in there). She then agreed to take the $6 off, I broke a crown on the chicken finger (in the food - ugh!). Asked for the check. THEY ONLY TAKE VENMO. Was gonna' pay cash, but the ATM wasn't working! Oh well, times have changed. Miss the old O'Jung's.

Didn't have the food, i was in a time crunch, but the menu is very enticing. Had the grinch martini. Highly recommended. The bar staff is on their game.

Their specials are something I look forward to every week!! With the best food and drinks and friendly service, its a place I love coming back to :)
