"The Black-owned Relish in the Northwest deserved more of my patronage, as its closing has now made me truly miss a rare spot in Philly that consistently served exceptional golden fried chicken, collard greens, baked mac and cheese, and yams." - Ernest Owens

"This casual, West Oak Lane spot serves soul food dishes and puts on live R&B and soul acts a few times a week. It’s a lowkey place where you can walk in on a random weekday, grab an order of turkey wings, and wash it all down with a Hennessy sangria. They also have skillet meals like seafood mac and cheese that are perfect for big groups and pair perfectly with listening to Whitney Houston covers." - Candis R. McLean

The atmosphere is full of love and great people. The food was delicious. I got turkey wings which we cooked and seasoned perfectly. The open mic was full of talented people and the house band was great, with real musicians that seem to know how to play anything. Note: The person next to me at another table said her cornbread was overcooked. She couldn't even cut it.

5/5! Wow what a local treasure this fine dining restaurant is but not your typical over priced menu. Warm beautiful atmosphere with live Jazz music! Efficient and friendly customer service both hosts and server (we had Christian and he was fantastic)! The food was the cherry on top, absolutely divine! We started with the wings and cornbread skillet both were amazing; for entrees we ordered the lamb and salmon both were perfect portions and cooked just right! I highly recommend Relish and can’t wait to dine again soon!!

Went for my anniversary last night and when I tell you that sh*t was LIT. We had reservations away from the jazz but we ended up getting seated with the live entertainment. And when I tell you they put on a SHOW! Our waiter was extremely helpful, was disappointed my partner couldn’t get the steak but she ended up getting the fried fish and I went with the chicken and shrimp Alfredo. The mac and cheese just kept getting better as we kept eating. The only cons were they were out of steak (our reservation was for 9:30pm still not acceptable lol) and we couldn’t substitute sides but our waiter threw us a some sides on the house. Overall I give it an 8.5/10 only because they were out of steak and where we ate near the bar where they play the music the house band had a fan club line dancing going crazy sometimes getting too close for comfort. If it wasn’t so lit and I didn’t feel like I was at a family reunion I can see how it can bother OTHERS but not me. Food on point, vibes were nice for a Saturday night, food was reasonably priced. Plus it was filled with beautiful black art all Over the walls. Definitely coming back to check my folks out again

The food here is always on point. To me, today's temperature for the mac n cheese could have been hotter, but it was perfect to my friend. The corn bread, a crowd favorite, was stellar as usual. Everyone loved their food: Braised beef short rib (so incredibly tender), hot honey fried chicken, and the turkey wings. It was our friend's first time and she will be back.

The place is nice, staff was friendly, live jazz band after 7, and the food was delicious. The only thing I didn't agree with is that they don't allow substitutions, if you wanted a different side than what was assigned to the dish, it was extra which is a bit unfair not knowing if a person may allergic or just simply doesn't like that specific side. Otherwise, food was very, very good.

I would put Relish into the group as being one of the best soul food spots in Philadelphia. The Hot honey fried chicken with greens and smashed potatoes were delicious. The greens had turkey meat in them and were not overly seasoned. The "smashed" potatoes were good. The chicken was just so juicy and tender and not dried out. The Hennessey Sangria was delicious along with the mango pineapple bread pudding. I thoroughly enjoyed the live band that entertained us with real music. The service could use more hands to allow more attention to tables and not hailing them down when you needed something. There are no substitutions as well but I'm not sure if they can exclude shrimp from a dish. In all I had a great time and will be returning to try other items.

Great place to have brunch with the family. The food was delicious, but a bit salty. The staff were incredibly nice! I'd return. I've been here twice for brunch and once for All you can eat crab nights! The crab nights are fantastic. This place can get crowded, be sure to make reservations and arrive early enough to get parking. The on-site parking lot is rather small and on street parking may be hard to find.

We went here to celebrate my lil sister's birthday. We had reservations. The drinks were good. The cornbread was the absolute best. The snapper was great. The apple stuffing was the bomb! I didn't get to try the mac and cheese with crab cause it was gone the minute it hit the table. The turkey wings were amazing.
