P. J. Clarke’s At The Curtis

Oooo went here with my cousin and literally the cutest place ever! First and foremost the service was great! Our server was this kind gentleman who was super nice and knowledgeable. This place has cute mocktails as well. My highlight was those fluffy pancakes! Sooooo good! A must try. I’ll definitely be coming back. Oysters were really good too.

An amazing place for a great brunch! So many great options for my family when they came from out of town. Reasonably priced and impressive portion sizes. Highly recommended for large groups who need a last minute brunch spot over the weekend!

HAPPY HOUR!!!! I had a fantastic time with fantastic friends. The bartenders Keith and Jason made us feel as if we were the only people sitting at the bar, of course, we were not 😀 There isn't a plethora of food choices on the happy hour menu but I must say the mini lobster rolls were so darn delicious that I ordered both versions, the Connecticut and the Maine. All in all, it was a wonderfully spent two hours filled with great cheers and thunderous laughter!! 7/2024 - BRUNCH For my appetizer I ordered a dozen oysters to share and a Bloody Mary. For the entree we indulged in tuna tartare and chicken & waffle. Our hostess Michelle was extremely helpful and attentive with a beautiful smile and impeccable service. She offered us a dessert menu which we happily obliged. We ordered NY Cheesecake🍰 because I'm a NY GIRL and key lime pie. After we stuffed ourselves out was a pleasure to have met CHEF TYLER and told him how delicious his food is 😋 and how beautiful the plate presentations were.

Such a great place. We started by having cocktails and oysters at the bar. Then went into the dining room for our meal. Staff, service and food was perfect.

This place is so cute! Great, reasonably priced happy hour and lovely ambiance. Great service. Would give 4.5 stars if it let me just because our oysters were shucked a little rough and there was quite a bit of shell in them. However, you can’t beat these oysters in quality, especially for a dollar each. We’ll be back for sure.

Stopped in for drinks and a snack. Our server Martin was exceptional. Loved the pretzel with the maple cream cheese spread.

Classic and elegant bar with huge windows overlooking Washington Square and Independence Hall parks. Great cocktails and food. Bloody Mary’s and oysters look great too. Friendly professional staff.

The food and service was great ! Definitely have to come back soon for another brunch⚘

This place has a great ambience to it and is located right near many main attractions like independence hall. Their cocktails were a little pricey but delicious nonetheless (try the smoky old fashioned if you're a whiskey drinker) I got the trio of mini burgers medium-well and they were cooked perfectly and were most flavorful. The bacon blue cheese burger was incredible. Our waiter was very friendly and suggested some appetizers which were very tasty. He also recommended some places around the city to visit which was nice seeing how we were out-of-towners. I think the bill was around $180 for the 3 of us but we all had appetizers and cocktails so I thought that was pretty reasonable. Entrees were around $25-$30 which is more than fair. Overall great experience and highly recommend!

We have never eaten at this restaurant, and we had never heard of it until today, but we decided to get a delivery. We ordered on the PJ Clarke website, as it does not appear on DoorDash. What happened, apparently, is that the order was processed through Toast and delivered by DoorDash. The two items we ordered were a little gems Caesar and a lobster roll. Including delivery fee and tip it came to $79. The quality of the food we got is appalling. The little gem Caesar is made with regular romaine (we chose this restaurant specifically because we wanted the small crisp leaves of little gem lettuce, which is quite hard to find), it's a puny portion and comes in a little cardboard box. I asked that avocado be added and it was not. The lobster roll is essentially a lobster salad. Not large pieces, not even discernible pieces of lobster. It could very well be something else, like that imitation crab. The lobster roll came with French fries that were flaccid and tasteless; French fries at Burger King are probably more enticing. We called PJ Clarke to complain and were told that because it went through a third party they could not "do" a refund, but were given the names of two managers and told that if we stopped by they would "take care of us." So there you have it. Abysmal quality, greatly inflated price, no service.

We were walking around the city and decided we wanted to rest and have a drink and preferred an outdoor space. We found PJ Clarkes nearby and stopped in. We saw online they had happy hour but were surprised when we got there to find that it wasn't starting until 5pm, but still decided to stop in. SERVICE When we walked up, there wasn't a host downstairs so we went stairs inside. We got a host and 3 others all volunteering to help seat us. The service was above and beyond, and VERY friendly, including asking each of our names. DRINKS We ordered our cocktails all around, and got great advice when selecting between a couple of drinks. The drinks were delicious all around and the recommendations we got were spot on. SUMMARY The service was memorable with how attentive it was. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was perfect right across the street from the park/courtyard just behind independence hall.

It took me one hour to find a parking spot. This was to walk around to independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. This restaurant is located a block from both. It was a Saturday night and we were able to secure a table tight away. There was a wedding reception going on and it was super loud. It was myself, my wife and one of my children. Mathew S was our server and he was pleasant and attentive. My wife and I had Bloody Mary's which were really good. I had a Philly cheesesteak which was pretty good a little bit light on the portion size, but acceptable. My wife had three apps as her meal a baguette with special Philly cream cheese, buffalo shrimp and Parmesan truffle fries. My daughter had the kids grill cheese. We enjoyed our meal and the location was great.

Service was great. The ambiance is nice and a bit like a bar from the 50s meant for rich men. The food was ok and overpriced.

Delicious choice for a late lunch- with plenty of other late diners! Great food, service and ambiance and the mural out in the lobby is not to be mossed!

Cool atmosphere, good food. My only complaint is that on both visits I have been served a small pour of wine. Industry standard is for a 5 oz pour. Both times I've been here I have received a ~3 oz pour. I then quickly switched to beer / something the bartender wouldn't be able to under serve. Please train your bartenders on how to properly pour a full glass of wine.

Oooo went here with my cousin and literally the cutest place ever! First and foremost the service was great! Our server was this kind gentleman who was super nice and knowledgeable. This place has cute mocktails as well. My highlight was those fluffy pancakes! Sooooo good! A must try. I'll definitely be coming back. Oysters were really good too.

Talk about luxury. Inside is decorated very nicely with Christmas wreaths & lights with Christmas music playing. We sat at the bar for a few drinks & a quick bite. This bar can easily seat 20+ and the comfy red chairs are a nice touch. Walking into the building there's tile and stone everywhere which is beautiful. Bartender was super nice and attended to everywhere there going up and down. The app that we had we actually came back at the end of the trip to have again. It was so good. Great app to start off the meal or munch on at the bar like we did.

Outdoor seating was perfect w a view, the customer service was immaculate, the oysters were so fresh and their cocktails were amazing ! Def enjoyed lunch with my sister in law here! We loved everything we ate! The ambiance inside is even better but since it was nice out we decided to sit outside.

I have had a few visits to PJ Clarke's after work and I have enjoyed the food (oysters; sliders; fries & Tabouli Salad! The Happy Hour begins @ 5p PJ's has Classic Cocktails (Gimlets; Manhattan's); nice wine selection and average beers on tap! I recommend if you are in the area..stop in for to check it out for yourself...I think you will be pleased!

Came here on a whim for Happy Hour with my husband. They've got a great Happy Hour menu, and they have $1 oysters! Happy Hour runs Mondays to Fridays from 5pm - 7pm. We got 3 dozen oysters and a couple of drinks. And that's really all the food we ordered. The oysters were very fresh and tasty. The drinks from the Happy Hour menu were were good and strong as well. The staff here are super nice! They're also dog friendly. Next time we come, we'll be bringing our dog.

We stopped here for food before our ghost tour in Washington park and it saved us! Fast food service. I got a great espresso martini and salad. My friend really enjoyed her baked clams and Paloma.

Have been for a few business lunches this summer and the space is well-lit and the service is always impeccable. Food-wise, I highly recommend the fries, which are consistently crispy and well-seasoned. The crab cake sandwich needed a bit more seasoning to get it where I'd have liked it. And the chicken Caesar salad, while generous with the chicken, could have been edited a bit to pull out the ends of the lettuce heads (there were ~3 in my bowl)--also would've liked it to have a bit more something: maybe more garlic, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies would've made it sing.

Just had an amazing late lunch at the restaurant. The food was amazing as usual and so was the service. Jeremy was our waiter and Angel was the food runner. These guys are amazing and give great service. Totally pleased and will return again.

I for sure will not be returning to give this spot another try given all the good eats in Philly but here is what you need to know. We arrived to an empty restaurant at approximately 5 pm on Sunday for a party of 5. The service was ok at best, its hard to not feel some type of way when you are having to flag down a server multiple times in the evening and the restaurant is completely empty. I give it a 3/5. The ambiance is a nice casual, can be upscale casual and they had nice on the street outdoor seating. Food...welp. 60% of the food ordered arrived cold after close to an hour. Yes an hour and yes the place was still empty. I think they just had a hard time doing the entrees because those were warm and all the sides were cold. The burgers were ordered well done and arrived VERY medium as well (and cold). The brussel sprouts no exaggeration must have been put on when we arrived because there wasn't even a hint of warmth to em when they got to us. I applaud the manager for coming to check in with our table (hence 2, not 1 star) and they remade the cold sides and burgers. However, notably, everything that was remade took about another 20 minutes and at that time our entrees were cold...needless to say it was packed up and we got out of there. I think taking the items off or a discount would be more appropriate since only 1/5 had a hot and complete meal at any point in the evening. I know you see all these high reviews, I did too!! That's why we chose this spot, but I'm seriously disappointed and hope you can find the right spot to have a good evening.

Great spot across the street from independence hall. The atmosphere was pretty cool and had a good vibe. Classic American menu with reasonable prices. I had the steak frites which was good well and tasted great. The service was good and I had an overall good experience. Enjoy!!!

Went in to watch the Phillies game and the place is very spacious and the hostess was very welcoming. Without a reservation we were seated immediately. The ambiance was classy and very comfortable. Our server was attentive and hospitable to us. cheesesteak egg rolls ( no picture): they were filled with meat and very flavorful. Clam chowder ( no picture ): was not very flavorful and needed salt and pepper. Burger sliders and fries: the one on the right had already been bitten into. Great flavor and very juicy. I enjoyed that it allowed me to try three of their burgers. Fries were a tad crispy but still had some softness inside. Lobster roll: the lettuce was also inside the roll but was taken out due to preference. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! The lobster tasted fresh and was full of flavor. The roll was tasty and loaded with butter. Mashed potatoes: good texture and flavor. Bread and butter ( not pictured): Delicious. Overall we enjoyed our time but did feel like the prices were a little pricy for what we got in terms of the quality.

Good food, excellent service, was seated at a table on the balcony away from traffic. I would recommend not sitting on the sidewalk with lots of people and cars going by.

Oh, what a shucking good time my friend and I had at PJ Clarke's during happy hour! As soon as we heard about their legendary happy hour, we knew we had to give it a try, and boy, did it not disappoint! Now, I've always been a fan of oysters, but my friend was a bit hesitant. However, with the fantastic selection and top-notch service at PJ Clarke's, I managed to turn my friend into an oyster enthusiast! I'd like to take some credit, but let's be honest, those delicious briny bivalves did all the work. The oysters were so fresh and succulent, they practically jumped into our mouths! And speaking of ambiance, PJ Clarke's has it all. If you prefer sitting outdoors, you'll love their patio where you can sip on your favorite libation and people-watch to your heart's content. But don't worry if you end up indoors, because there's a hidden gem waiting for you. Make sure to take a glimpse of the mosaic that transports you to Italy right in the heart of the Curtis Cente. It's like a little slice of Rome in the midst of happy hour fun! Now, I wanted to share a photo of the mosaic, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise for others. You'll have to see it for yourself to truly appreciate its beauty. It's worth it, trust me! The atmosphere at PJ Clarke's is light-hearted and fun, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great time. They're friendly, attentive, and know their stuff when it comes to drinks and food. Plus, their happy hour specials are a steal! So, if you're looking for a place to indulge in some delicious oysters, enjoy a refreshing drink, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere, PJ Clarke's is the place to be. It's perfect for a casual outing with friends or a date night that's sure to impress. Just be prepared to leave with a happy belly, a satisfied smile, and maybe a newfound love for oysters! Cheers to PJ Clarke's for making happy hour a shuckin' good time! Please note no shucking was involved in our end the staff took care of that .

I stopped into P.J. Clarke's for a drink while out on a solo exploration day and was not disappointed! I sat at the bar and the had a great conversation with the bartender who also gave me recommendations of where else to go. I got a drink based off his recommendation, I asked for something refreshing and not too sweet. He suggested the Queen's Gambit and it was so good! There were some lockers with some notes people have left at the bar under categories like Love, Exes and Friendship. I only looked at the Exes one but it was worth taking a peek. PJ's drinks all looked delicious and if I lived closed I would stop in all the time.

My review is very biased, so if you aren't from NYC, this might offend you. As a recent transplant from NYC, my review is a bit biased. PJ Clarke's originated in NYC, and having been all 3, this is a very distant and disappointing cousin. The service is excellent, but the food leaves much to be desired. First, the wine is below par for a medium priced venue. I cannot speak for the burgers (which is what they are known for), but for a medium pricey restaurant the food is not worth the trip or the price. I've had the Brussel sprouts (hard as a rock), sliders, cheesesteak oysters, and clams.

Went to P.J. Clarke's for a date night and really enjoyed myself. The decor was unique, like you stepped into a historic post office with luxury touches. We had drinks and an entree each - both choosing the lobster roll and fries. Although a little on the pricey side, the lobster roll was well worth the cost. So much lobster was jam packed onto the buttery, crispy roll - very delicious. Enrique, the bartender, made a great French 75 and was truly welcoming and entertaining. Overall, I had a great time and can't wait to return to try a few of their other items!

Philadelphia's P.J. Clarke's is located in the Curtis Center Atrium. It's a bit tucked away from the front entrance but the mural is worth the walk. There's a great bar area and dining with a view of Independence Park. P.J.'s has an extensive menu including clams, shrimp, and oysters from the raw bar or burgers, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. The Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and French fries was bomb! From the Raw Bar, I tried Jersey clams (Littlenecks & Cherrystones) and opted for fried with a lemon and remoulade sauce. Looking forward to visiting again!

My husband and I popped into PJ Clarkes for a pre-show drink. We were immediately greeted and seated with a friendly smile. Surprisingly we had a nice spot right outside by the heated at dinner time. We each had a glass a wine and split the Caesar Salad which was very fresh. The Redrum Theater is in the same building so if you're going to see a show, be sure to pop in here first or after!

We came after a show at the Walnut Street Theatre tonight and had a really exceptional experience. They had great happy hour specials and appetizers. We brought our six-year-old with us and the host and hostess were super welcoming and found some delicious hot chocolate upon request! We got the oysters, goat cheese, sliders, truffle fries, kids chicken fingers and and Pinot noir special. All great and the service warm and efficient. Props to the wonderful waiter, host and hostess. Thanks for a nice visit.

If you want to get some fresh non-fussy, classic American-style lunch or dinner - go here. It's in a beautifully designed space right next to one of our countries most historical settings - Indenepdence Park. The BEST Happy Hour ever! You'll experience Great service, Fabulous bar tenders, Delicious food - a perfect score. My favorite neighborhood "go to". I don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy!

Ordered through Uber eats. Didn't take too long to get here and the food was still hot which was good. Never been here before so it was our first time and we got cheesesteak egg rolls, chili, crunchy chicken sandwich & fries, Brussels sprouts, cheesecake and strawberry puff. The chicken sandwich was awful, chicken had no flavor and wasn't cooked enough. The sauce that came on the sandwich was also awful. The chili and the Philly egg rolls were good. The brussel sprouts were okay, but nothing special. The cheesecake was average and the strawberry puff was good. Overall, it just really was nothing to write home about. Definitely won't be going back here, but didn't wanna give less than 3 stars because we enjoyed a couple of things.

Horrible food!!!! Watery clam chowder! Nasty oysters! Small and what ginger?!? All I tasted was mayonnaise!!! I threw the key lime pie in the trash! Bland deviled eggs! Nasty food! Never ever going back!!!! Shame on them for charging anyone for that mess!

Beautiful restaurant at the heart of PA. It's close to popular tourist attractions (independence hall, liberty bell). We were only able to sit outside, however there were large umbrellas to cover you when it rains. The staff was very friendly and accommodative to our requests (it was a large group). I will say its a bit pricey so it's something to keep in mind. Each meal is roughly 20-30 per person depending on what you get. Otherwise it's an excellent place for breakfast/ lunch!

They were the destination burger place... in New York... in the 80s. Just meh in recent decades and this newer Philly outpost is comfortable in their present mediocrity. Go with low expectations for food and service because, once you have a drink it is all about the location. In the gorgeous, historical Curtis building, across 6th Street from Independence Hall. A good number of powerful heaters extends the season for their seating-with-a-view on their outdoor seating area. Spacious and pub+like indoors. Take note: they close randomly for private parties without notice on their website. We got caught in that unexpected trap after walking 2 miles with a recovering cancer patient to enjoy a safe, al fresco, relaxing lunch only to be turned away without even the offer of a sip of water to our gaunt, emaciated friend. Shame on them, but shame on us if we return.

Martin was the server for my friend and I. He was amazing!!!!!! So attentive and kind. The cheese steak eggrolls were amazing! My friend had the burger trio and I had the chicken pop pie! I made it didn't get a second to go! I had the voodoo punch to each it down. Strong and not overly sweet. I'm happy we decided to give them a try, top notch all around.

The burgers are delicious-today I had the Rueben. Disgusting! The meat was so fatty could barely eat. Gross

Having walked by the establishment countless times, we had developed a strange infatuation with P.J. Clarke's, despite never actually going there. It took about a year-and-a-half until our curiosity piqued and we finally had to check it out, and...well, it was as ordinary as we'd expected. Not great. Not bad. Just a straight up middle-of-the-road experience. We went for lunch with some friends, ordered some cocktails, oysters, salads, and a few burgers. The cocktails were quite good. We got the "Queen's Gambit" and the "Smokin' Berries," and both hit the spot. The oysters were decent, but fresh and well-shucked. I was mostly intrigued by the "Cadillac" burger, which we had seen on TV, and ended up being perfectly fine. Nothing magical, but a good, simple burger. We also shared a side of fries for the table, which were good. Again, nothing spectacular. At the time, we had to eat outside, but having gone inside to use the restroom, it definitely looked like a nice space that would be fun to pop into for a simple meal and cocktails in normal times. That said, the outdoor seating area is pretty nice, and the area is beautiful to enjoy on a nice day. They're very dog-friendly in patio area, which is wonderful! The staff is also really good. Incredibly friendly, outgoing, and able (and willing) to answer any questions you might have. Okay, so it's ordinary, which can rarely earn 5 stars, but why isn't it at least "4-star ordinary?" That's easy to answer: price. I understand tourists flocking to P.J. Clarke's because of the proximity to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Washington Square, etc.. Easy pickings for inflated pricing. We also understand that their rent must be outrageous in the beautiful Curtis building in said historic area, so the restaurant needs to charge a premium. We get it, but if you're a local that's used to the amazing and diverse Philly food scene, you're going to do a second take when you see your bill. That's when it'll really dawn on you how ordinary the food was. Again, not bad, but at their prices, it's hard to go rushing back for standard American fare, even if the staff are so friendly and attentive. So overall, P.J. Clarke's a perfectly good option for a simple meal if you're in the area and not worried about paying a premium. We may eventually return, but for the most part, we scratched that curiosity itch that we had for this restaurant, and we'll be leaving this one for the tourists.

Burgers ok. Service very good. Here's the thing to beware: The price of drinks is absurd. Just had dinner, Bulleit Bourbon Old Fashioned=$24.00!!!!!! How do they have the nerve to charge that price for a basic cocktail. Had three drinks for $72.00 plus tax! Bulleit is not very expensive. Manager explained that the price is right, it's what they charge. Will never go back. If you are interested in drinks with your meal you would be better off going somewhere else. If you want to spend $24 per drink you can go to the high end restaurants around Rittenhouse Square. Unless you like getting ripped off.

Had the meatloaf, was ok. Nothing to write home about. It was pretty dense, didn't have much of a smoke flavor (or flavor in general). It came with some ok mashed potatoes, and no veggie. Service for me, was terrible. Very specific to my waiter. He visited me three times in total. Once to get my drink order, once to get my food order, and once for the check. Never checked on me to see if my food was ok. And worse, I had to sit there waiting for 20 minutes after someone cleaned up my plates before he asked if I wanted anything else. He walked by me multiple times and didn't even look my direction. There were other rock star wait staff, so it was just my waiter.

We stopped in for cocktails and appetizers before a show in the neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised by the awesome service and delicious food and drinks. Everyone in my party agreed we'll definitely be returning for a full meal. The outdoor seating was nice but we sat inside since it was a muggy evening and we wanted a quieter atmosphere.

Everything about this place speaks Philly. We went for our anniversary and we were met with an immense amount of class. I'd come again in a heartbeat!

I joined 3 friends and had reservations for Thanksgiving dinner @ P. J. Clarke's. I was grateful for their company, but the food and service was the WORST I've experienced in decades of dining out! This is truly a first world problem, but I believe others should be aware of the issues faced so they may make better informed decisions. There may have been 10 tables dining at 6:30, so the restaurant was far from crowded. We ordered cocktails and oysters (for the table). It took about 20 minutes for the cocktails to be delivered - and we had finished our drinks by the time the oysters arrived. My drink was watery; in hindsight, it may have been that it sat at the bar and additional ice cubes were added pre-delivery. Three of us ordered the prix fixe Thanksgiving special; the 4th guest ordered a side of brussels sprouts, planning to order additional courses later. Our COLD dinners were finally brought to the table almost an hour after ordering. I looked for (and found) a staff member, who sent the manager to our table. She brought replacement meals - which were less cold than the originals. There's not much that says "poor service" better than lukewarm gravy, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, and cooked mixed veggies! I found my meal overly salted, but concede when cooking, I typically reduce the amount of salt called for in recipes. After we finished our meals, we sat (and sat) with dirty plates on the table. A member of the staff was setting a table directly next to ours, so I asked him to please send someone over to clear our table. He cleared the table. We ordered our deserts "to go" and did, leaving P. J. Clarke's' at 8:45 - 2 1/2 hours after sitting down for dinner. The house comped the 2 glasses of wine on our bill, but that did not make up for the poor quality of service. The staff clearly did not want to be working that evening. It was a shame they were unable to schedule shifts more to their liking, but that should not have been the customers' problems. We paid good money for the meal - and tipped more than the service deserved, since we were grateful to be together and didn't want to penalize those working on the holiday.

So good! The interior was decorated nicely and it just felt cozy and comfortable. Got the zucchini chips and bread and butter for appetizers. The chips with the tzatziki was a good combo and the bread was very soft. Got the chicken pot pie and steak frites for entrees. The ultimate comfort food on a fall day!

As far as COVID outdoor options go, PJ Clarkes is a viable option, as long as you wear plenty of layers and situate yourself just in between pillars of flame while you dine. Just get ready to drink plenty of water to balance the salt. Must get: burger (per wife) Meh: shrimp, calamari, fish tacos Missed out: not sure We visited PJ Clarkes just before the second wave of city closure due to COVID and were lucky that the weather was appropriately chilly and we were one of the only people dining on a Saturday night, so the staff were able to bring extra heaters to warm our frigid extremities. When almost all of the menus have converted to a QR code, it was unusual to see paper menus post-COVID. While I welcomed holding onto a menu and pointing to the choices, I would have liked them to be stored in a booklet, rather than being clipped onto the table. As for the food, I was a little bit underwhelmed by both the portions and price of everything. We shared two appetizers: grilled shrimp w/shishito peppers and calamari, and my wife and I got the fish tacos and burger. I think the calamari was a bit bland and overly breaded, while the shrimp was exceedingly salty, but well prepared and very juicy. The fish tacos...only 2 of them, were populated with two small chunks of dried fish with two unnecessarily thick tortilla wraps. The burger, per wife, was good. Overall, I think this is a nice option on a nicer afternoon, as it is just outside the corner of beautiful park and it is fun to people watch. But as the weather gets colder, you may get more bang for your buck by ordering in. Food: 2 stars Service: 3 stars Ambiance: n/a Price: 2 stars

100/10 the ambiance and the staff exceeded all expectations. The manager Ryan was outstanding and offered every bit of hospitality by letting my fiance and I use there place for an engagement shoot with our photographer, Daniel Mizner. we also had cocktails and dinner which was out of this world. everything was perfect and we will for sure be back!

We stumbled upon this place while in the Washington Square area. It was very cold outside and time for Happy Hour. Drinks were $5 - 7 and they had half dozen oysters for about $11. A bargain coming from NY. Joe the bartender was fantastic and we had a great Happy Hour. If you're in this area this is one of the prettiest places to hang out for a while.

PJ Clarke's is a go-to during this pandemic. They have a lot of outdoor, covered seating with views of Washington Square. The menu has a ton of options, mostly American food but also a lot of seafood options. Recommend: lobster roll, fried chicken sandwich, Brussels sprouts, watermelon burrata salad

Stopped in tonight to get away from cheesesteak for dinner. My husband had the Curtis burger & I had the bohemian stew. Really nice. The stew was especially good since it was a cool night.

So overpriced. Watery clam chowder. Deviled eggs were not good and had fuzz on them. Soda comes in small overpriced bottles. The ambience was nice. The biscuits were delicious. Ok service as well.

Worst shit I've ever eaten. We got a Caesar salad and a chicken sandwich. Easy right? Except they didnt put dressing on the salad or sauce the sandwich, which definitely needed it as they burned it to a crisp. Then when we asked for Caesar salad dressing and aioli for the sandwich, the brain surgeons in the kitchen send out honey mustard. Meanwhile, the bartender didn't know how to work the computer and was inattentive. Took her 15 minutes to take our order. The manager, to her credit, caught me in the way out and tried to make it right. But by that point I was too pissed to deal with it. Such a shame because this place used to be my favorite. Now it is dog shit, prepared by imbeciles. Testament to the Philadelphia school system I guess.

The place was good. But not great. But it's in a super convenient location if your out being a tourist near the liberty bell. The fries were better than my philly cheesesteak sandwich. Didn't care for the food. But for convenience and not having to go far... its still worth it in a weird way.

Pleasantly surprised at this place! We were shocked how big this place went and also the interior is so fun! We enjoyed our food!
