Three Monkeys Cafe

We visited this bar yesterday with friends and had a great time! It was hot and stuffy outside, so we decided to sit indoors — the atmosphere inside was cool, cozy, and comfortable. We ordered the penne with chicken and Alfredo sauce, shrimp with rice in a sweet and spicy sauce, tacos, and chicken wings. Everything was absolutely delicious — we all enjoyed it! The shrimp and rice dish stood out the most, packed with flavor and served in a generous portion. The service was also great: fast, polite, and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We've been here three or four times. The atmosphere is ok. Service is hit or miss, as is the food. Food is offered as elevated bar food. The presentation is nice but taste...hit or miss. We've never had complaints about the appetizers ordered but the food ordered got a 1 out of 3 this time. Service was immediate for drinks (water and soda) but we had to flag the waitperson over to take our order...it wasn't a full house btw. We will go again because it's where my husband chooses before a movie at Woodhaven, but I'll just stick to the poutine or another appetizer as my entre. I'm not discouraging anyone from going, just my experience...and my husband's is different than mine.

Well crafted drinks. Great apps! Although not pictured here, I love their Ceasars dressing. Both the salad and wrap are great! Also love the truffle fries.

Enjoyed drinks and dinner at the 3 Monkeys. Great service fom the moment we walked in with a choice to sit inside or outside. Great apps and we went with the pierogies - outstanding. For the entrée, I went with one of the many choices of tacos - salmon. Had a great time, lively atmosphere but the music was a bit loud. Our table was under one of the speakers so it made it difficult to have a conversation. I heard a lot of goood things about the 3 Monkeys and they are all true. Great place for dinner or just to hang out.

My husband and I went for brunch last weekend. We started with the Bloody Mary wings. They were delicious! Perfect amount of crispness and spice. I got the Candy Bacon Eggs Benedict and my husband had the Street Corn and Chorizo Omelet. I was a little disappointed with my meal as my eggs were slightly overcooked and my food was room temperature. My husband's food came out warm. On another note, our server could have been a little more attentive to our needs. Other than that we love the atmosphere of Three Monkey's and typically have a pleasant experience.

BEAUTIFUL BEACH VIBE WITH Guinness AND CORONA ON TAP. AWESOME AND FRIENDLY STAFF AND CLIENTELE. Dipped in for a quick beer and what a treat. The pictures speak for themselves, what a find!

Cute place! I stopped on my to the airport instead of sitting in traffic. I sat at the outdoor bar, Christy was very attentive even though she was busy during happy hour (4-6) $3 domestic drafts. I had the blackened grouper with asparagus and pineapple rice. The flavor was so good. I was so happy with my find.

Ok, folks, I pride myself on keeping these reviews straight forward, and to keep it real, honesty is the best policy. So here it is‼️ My wings were undercooked and flavorless. Which is not what I expected at all for something titled "Award Winning Wings‼️" The street corn dip was ok but nothing to brag about. If i may add, to mess up something as simple as wings is pretty concerning. My wife had the Coconut Citrus Shrimp Tacos, and again, the shrimp were undercooked, and the flavor profile just wasn't there for me‼ "One thing that was really good was the Primape Punch and that's when it hit me. Maybe the folks enjoying this food are drunk. And aren't tasting anything at all.All in all, folks, I can honestly say I had better food at a hot dog cart‼️🤣🤣🤣💀 I probably would have enjoyed it more if three monkeys pooped on my plate 🤣🤣💀 Seriously, I won't be coming back here again. Unless they change the name and the owners because bad food leaves an everlasting impression for me.

Went with some friends on a Wednesday evening. The place was pretty crowded and stayed crowded while we were there. Wonder what it would be like on the weekend or Thirsty Thursday if that kind of thing still exists? Decor is quite neurotic, sat outside under the pergola with the line signs and tree paraphernalia. Perfect time to enjoy the outdoors in the shade so it's not too hot to eat. The outdoor seating reminds me of a place I used to frequent when in high school, so there's a sense of familiarity even though this is a completely different restaurant. Service was very attentive without being annoying. Wait times for food weren't too long, typical considering how many people were at the restaurant. I had the pretzel appetizer, really good, nice soft and tender pretzel. The bacon cheese dip went well of course. I wish the pretzels had more salt. I love a completely over the top salted pretzel. I also had the smashed burger minus the fried onions. It comes with pork roll, bacon, and aioli, so the burger is loaded with fats. I got chips with mine instead of fries since I had the pretzels. This burger was great, close to the top in burgers I've ever had. My friend also had a smashed burger minus the aioli, he concurred with me. My other friend had shrimp tacos which she really liked and said the flavor was uniquely layered. I'm on a work trip again, too bad this place is not close to me, but my friends will work coming here into their routine. I will definitely come back when I'm in Philly again. Great food, service was good, can get loud with music at times, but outside everyone is talking loud anyway.

Three monkeys cage is a great little dive bar to grab a drink. With plenty of space to sit and grab a drink. They have multiple bars one inside and outside. Service was great and they have a big patio area. Service can be a little tricky with it being next to a train station.

Had a street corn with pineapple rice , broccoli and cauliflower and avocado! Was tasty , nice amount ,had some to take home n left full ! server was pleasant , nice atmosphere! If in the area stop by , you won't regret it

Love the food. Great traditional pub food with a flair. Interesting choice of decor. Cool pics of monkeys painted. Great outdoor area and food comes out fast. Service is meh. Not bad but definitely not good. Seating is a little tight. Fun local, small spot.

Had a great brunch/lunch at this cool spot! The inside can be loud so we dined outside on their patio that's filled with cute little signs. Our server was good and so was the food! Had the street corn for an appetizer & the Nashville Chicken Sandwich-both were awesome.

The wait was super long for a table of 4 on a Sunday. My group and I were told 45 minutes but ended up waiting closer to 90 minutes. We saw many groups arriving later than us getting seated first. We also asked multiple times what our estimated wait time was. Then when we got seated, we felt like we were rushed to order. Our server came over to us multiple times within 10 minutes asking us what we wanted. They were also out of a lot of drinks. The food was ok. Nothing special.

I was happy with my food. I guess I expected more because of how everyone rants and raves about this place. The inside is decorated for the holidays so it was nice and cozy. I really enjoyed my chicken tenders, they weren't spicy at all though in my opinion. My fiancé liked his Cinnabon as well. The service was quick too. I think I will try this place again for lunch one of these days.

I will give it a 3 stars because of the service and food. I spend over $90 on food which includes: wrap, wings, sandwich, and dessert. The portion was okay. This was my first time coming to this place for their dinner. I would recommend you to come here for breakfast and you sit outside.

Went at 10am on Saturday and the place was empty!! We thought it was going to be packed for brunch, but it didn't fill up until closer to noon. Plenty of street parking. The eggs benny was good, the bacon was crispy, as were the potatoes. 4 brunch entrees and 2 mimosas came out to about $75

Good food. Quirky, fun decor. Decent service, but suggest not going with a group, even during the day on a weekday when the restaurant isn't busy. Despite being told in an email by Ben Andersen, the general manager, "We will be able to host you if your group is still interested. However, we only do check split up to 4 ways at tables." Instead of any check splitting, no separate checks were permitted for two rows of tables of 18 people, all of us on one check and an automatic 20% gratuity was added.

We have been going there for years. It's great stop returning from jury duty in the city. The beer list is extensive. I would prefer more IPAs. We recommended more gluten free item for my wife and they did come thru thank you! The food always comes out quick.

I went with my sister and we both enjoyed our meals. I had the Mojito Cuban sandwich with chips (very tasty) and she had the Brussels Sprout and Bacon pizza (I tried it and agreed it was tasty!). We shared the cheese steak dip and loved the tasty pretzel bites that came with it. It's tasty with the tortilla chips, too. The atmosphere is a casual bar atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was working hard getting use to their new system. Very friendly, attentive and apologetic. I definitely think you should Check Them Out!

Landed at 6pm and drive out to our hotel area in Bensalem and found this place close by . Great choice . Crowded with locals . Waited for a table and had some Drinks at the bar served up by the owner we presume. Loved the local Historical memorabilia on the walls and the great service provided . Food was as ordered, hot and filling . The food , atmosphere and vibe is just different back East every time we go . Never a bad visit anywhere

Great vibe outside. Shrimp tacos were fantastic, slaw was refreshing. Our waitress was quick and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit!

Everything about this place is a 10/10. Fantastic service from Bella. Food came out fast! Absolutely delicious. A+++ wings. One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. The birria tacos could fully replace my antidepressants. And the collaged kitsch that adorns every wall keeps you visually entertained while you anticipate the culinary excellence that awaits you!

We stopped in on Father's Day expecting to have to wait, but to our surprise we were seated right away in a cozy little church pew nook. I enjoyed all the decor inside & that we could watch the Phils from our seats. The outside area looked so cool and seemed like a whole different awesome vibe. The food we had was great and the cocktails were delish too. We were big fans of the holy doli. The bang bang shrimp tacos were such a different shrimp taco but so good with the coconut flavor. The bao buns were a risky choice but it worked and I wanted more than 3. I look forward to trying this place out for brunch AND returning for lunch/dinner some time soon!

The food is amazing every dish I've goo ten so far has not disappointed!! They always have great specials and this one was right up my alley and the chips were amazing too!! Service was super nice and fast and the vibes are great in there!! One of my favorite restaurants

Easier to get tables here on weekday evenings than weekends. Seems quite popular with locals. There's seating inside and outside, there are also some TVs around to watch sports or whatever show they have playing! Metal tables and chairs outside with bar seating and booths mostly inside. Some decorations around as well (monkey themed). Food was okay. One of our items was put in wrong and we were unable to find our server for about 10-15 minutes after we received the dishes so we could not alert her of the issue immediately. In addition, my chicken tasted like fish. Seems like they had fried a fish in the fryer at the same time, or right beforehand. The pretzels are good though!

We came here for a little drink after a long day of work. Wow wow the outside portion is so beautiful and there's plenty of space and area to chill, watch the game, catch up with friends or have a memorable date night. The decor was so beautiful and eclectic you felt like you were transported to a tropical island. That being said the drinks were really good and it was well priced. We also had an order of their award winning house wings with the house sauce and they were delicious and totally worthy of all the awards!! The house sauce had a great kick and the wings can come fried or smoked but we chose smoked and it was pretty good! Another great thing about the place, you can bring your dog and they'll definitely enjoy the place as well!

Longtime customer. Always good service and food. Had a minor issue regardng the TV tonight 3/14/2025. There are 3 tv's at the bar. Nobody was watching the middle tv. I asked the bar tender to chang the channel, she did. Two minutes later the manager comes in and changes the channel. I said to him nobody is looking at the tv except for me and my wife and he gave me some flip answer. The manager was arrogant as hell. Rather than spend any more money we left. If I decide to go again I will call first and make sure he is not there. He should learn how to talk to customers. Apparently he does not realize there are many good restaurants we can go to in the area. Bartender was good, food was good. One star rating is because the manager doesn't know how to talk to customers.

Another enjoyable brunch at three monkeys. This time I ordered the CBLT wrap which was very tasty. I changed the home fries for French fries. Service was good and always a great atmosphere. Love the monkey pictures.

I always enjoy it here. Doesn't matter if I'm meeting a friend for a drink or having dinner. The food is always good and the drinks are just right. They also have a great selection of craft beers. Stopped in on Saturday afternoon after seeing a movie for a late lunch. I got salmon gyro wrap with a side salad instead of the ships it comes with. The side salad I got was huge! Everything was so good! My boyfriend got the burnt ends sandwich. He said it was ok, just not as tender as he would have expected. Oh the strawberry cider on tap was wonderful!

I had the salmon and a nicely crafted cocktail for lunch. I sat inside at my mom's request, but the outside was more lively. Lunch for three ran around $100. The staff were polite as well. Nice place to come for drinks after work or just to chill with friends.

I decided to meet up with a friend to catch up and 3 Monkeys Cafe was our place to do indulge our brunch tastes! 3 Monkeys is a cute establishment (interior and exterior) and the staff were friendly! The food was average but they had a good beer menu (draft and bottles)! Tip..arrive early because it gets busy quickly!

A local haunt. Great bar food with daily specials. You could definitely find cheaper bar food in the area, but I think the quality of the food would be less than it is here. They offer many different plates that you wouldn't find elsewhere. All the food has a very good taste and you can tell the food quality is good. The service is good but they can get very busy. The interior is decorated with lots of warm wood on the walls, tables, and lots of artwork on the walls. Plenty of TVs to watch your favorite game. I also offer an outdoor area with an outdoor bar that can be nice to sit at when the weather is good.

We arrived around 12:30, was seated immediately in the room next to the bar, I mistakenly thought this would be better than the loud bar area. There was a party of 8 women in the middle of the dining room who were talking and cackling so loud that it was ear piercing. It ruined the entire experience for us before we even received our meals. Two of the three meals were good. The scrapple Sliders and Eggs Benny were very good. Our daughter ordered the most simplest meal of three eggs over easy and toast and received three eggs hard cooked, inedible to her. Showed our server when she checked back but were done eating at that point. She was very nice and apologetic but they still remained on our bill which was disappointing. Not sure I'd recommend or rush back anytime soon.

I'm a local, so I've been here a bunch but finally decided to do a review. I guess you could say I enjoy myself too much to take time to take pictures before eating. The food is always great! I'm a sucker for some bang bang shrimp and this place does not disappoint! The shrimp has a perfect crunch and the sauce they use is not spicy but has a kick! The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was AMAZING! The chicken was so juicy and the bun was amazing! Spicy spicy spicy! Tater tots are nothing to write home about but very good! The Philly cheesesteak dip was great as well! The little pretzel bites it came with were great too! Fluffy and warm! Didn't have the wrap, but my friend enjoy it quite a bit! The service is always amazing. It can get busy (like any well established place) but that doesn't stop the servers from coming around every few minutes to make sure everything's good! My favorite part of this place is the vibe and ambiance. It's almost hidden on a side road off of two main roads. The building itself looks nice, but outside (when it's nice out of course) they have this courtyard for outside dining and an outside bar. Great place to go with friends and mingle with others! They have monkeys posted all over this place and the decorations are amazing! Love the place for what it is and the cost to service and food is unbeatable!

The breezy mild afternoon prompted us to find outdoor dining options for dinner on Memorial Day - despite the 3 monkeys history for being super crowded on the "weekends" we crossed our fingers and drove by. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best... making the turn - no parking as usual... but...did I spy some empty patio seating? Indeed, I did! First time on the patio. The cheery colorful decor at the 3 monkeys captivates and immediately lightens your spirits; the primate punch helps a lot with that as well. As I sat enjoying the beautiful weather I couldn't help but think despite how nice it is outside, some care could go to upkeep and cleaning outside. I understand outdoor dining is different than indoor yet before opening it couldn't hurt to run a leaf blower to clear the tree debris and the patio could use a good monthly power washing to make those colors pop. As always our food was to our standards albeit the patio service is a lot slower than the indoor. Our evening was relaxed and well enjoyed and we look forward to spending more evenings on the 3 monkeys patio.

The food was Awesome. The drinks were very good. The seating inside was a bit close for my liking. The gentleman behind moved my chair every time he moved. The drinks were also very good.

Great food and a great atmosphere. Love getting the brunch with mimosas on Sundays! The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They have a good selection of craft beer on draft and in bottles.

We never had a problem getting a seat for 2 here, even when busy. Nice vibe, lots to look at, plenty of TV's. Our server was outstanding, she even went outside to look up our parking spot number for us in the station lot for the app. My burger was delicious, fries were extra but done nicely. Nice beer selection. We love this place.

This little tavern off the highway in Philadelphia is really great. I got in just after they opened. They accommodated me immediately with a nice lunch menu and full bar. I've never tried a turkey burger before so I decided to be adventurous and go with their turkey burger special with balsamic vinaigrette, mozzarella slices, tomato, onion and spring mix lettuce. Since I had a long drive ahead of me to Cape May, New Jersey I decided to go for a mocktail version of my all time favorite drink, the Moscow Mule. Next time I'll be a little more relaxed and more inclined to booze it up definitely when I come back with friends.

The menu looked super exciting and I was really looking forward to brunch. We were greeted by a very nice young lady at the door and our waitress was awesome! I ordered the Bacon & Egg Eggrolls for the table. Very nicely presented delicious and the spicy ketchup was a nice touch. The Espresso Martini was incredibly basic and nothing to rave about, especially for $11. Here's a side by side picture (3 Monkey's on the left and another restaurant in Center City on the right) of Espresso Martinis at the same price point. The one on the right tasted wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the one from 3 Monkey's, very generic. You can see the one on the left is very thin as well. I was excited to try the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffle Sliders. Sadly, the chicken was overcooked, there were 2 orders at our table, the same for both. The chicken was dry and it was not well seasoned. The vanilla waffle was okay and I was looking for a whisky touch to the syrup but didn't experience it. One of my friends ordered the Apple Walnut Salad with Salmon and thought it was good. It was a fun atmosphere and it's a super cute establishment. Because everything I had didn't work out as I expected, I'd still encourage you to experience 3 Monkey's for yourself. Cheers!

I went for brunch yesterday and had the pork roll tacos - AMAZING. the pork roll was thin and crispy and perfect!! It couldn't have been any better!!! Highly recommend!!!

I've reviewed Three Monkeys Cafe before as it is one of my favorite restaurants. Casual dining, fun atmosphere, and great and consistent food. This review is all about the dessert. I'm a chocolate dessert person but their Monkey Bread is to die for. Bread chunks with cinnamon sugar, caramel, a little chocolate sauce and candies walnuts. This dessert even had my non-dessert eating friend going back for more and more!

Very pub like place; pretty crowded, lively, and has plenty of seating. The servers were nice and timely as well as the food despite how busy they are. We had the Nashville chickens and they were amazing. Nice crispy crust; juicy chicken paired with a huge soft waffle. Then the syrup ties it all together. The dish has a great kick of spice to it and lingers. Just right for a Nashville chicken. The salmon avacado toast on the other hand had the exact opposite effect. It was a bit dissatisfying. The dish had an overpowering fermented taste to it. The avacado were pretty scarce but they did put a decent amount of smoked salmon. Nice sunny side up egg and potatoes. Overall it was a hit and a miss, but I would definitely come back to try their other dishes. Not a bad place to eat if you don't mind the crowded and lively atmosphere.

The food was good, especially the Monkey Toast. It was a little loud for a Sunday morning when there weren't many people. We sat near the kitchen and I kept hearing profanities being yelled from the kitchen staff while I was eating, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children. My wife really liked it here so we'll be back.

I ordered off of uber eats. It came in a sealed bag for safety. Everything was cooked to Perfection and perfectly warm at the hand off. For starters i had potato and cheese pierogies. They were perfectly cooked they were not soggy at all. They came with sour cream and they were topped with green onion and bacon. I also ordered the salmon meal off the chef's specialties. Again the salmon was perfectly cooked fluffy rice and asparagus. If I lived in the area this would be probably one of my favorite places to go to.

What a great place to meet for lunch or dinner. The bar area is fun and casual. The dining area is a bit tight but they also have a great patio outdoor area. Decorated in a tropical jungle theme (thus their name). The service was excellent and the food was delicious. All three dishes were excellent. We met for lunch. It was a bit loud but still ok to have a conversation. I had the chicken and waffle, my husband had the Richmond which was kielbasa, egg, cheese, hash browns, and bacon jam on a roll. He's not one to try new things, but he said it was great and he would order it again. My daughter had a BLT with an egg. Drinks were also good. Can't wait to go back. We want to try dinner on the patio. Great date night place to go.

Never a bad time here. If you're able to, head here in the summer time ! The outdoor patio has a great beach vibe going. The food & drinks are very good & the portion sizes are ample. I especially love going here for brunch on the weekends. (Although their lunch and dinner choices are great too). The steak & eggs is *chefs kiss* . The sirloin is very tender and pairs well with over easy eggs (that's how I like them anyways) . I've also had the French toast, highly recommend. If you're trying to decide on a dinner place, this hidden gem in Northeast Philly is def worth the hype!

Excellent business practices, impeccable service, security is awesome, and food is Great, the outside is also incredible...

The risotto and salmon was delicious. I really did not know what to expect but I am glad we ordered it. There's definitely more items on the menu I would like to try. Will be back for brunch as well

Love this place food is great! Service is always good. Nice atmosphere. Sat outside on this day. It was beautiful. Monkey themed cafe. What's not to like? Burger was great, wings tasty!

Fun Spot with a great old pub feel and colorful patio. The smash burger I had was good, fries were on the salty side. Service was great.

It's been a while since I've been to Three Monkeys, but I always love when I dine here. We were delighted to see a special menu and went for it! The Reuben sandwich was perfectly toasted with delicious melted cheese. I loved the kielbasa instead of the usual pastrami. The bourbon wings had a spicy kick in addition to the sweet apple flavor. I don't typically double up on coffee based drinks, but I couldn't resist! Go check it out and welcome the fall inspired options!

Different cheesesteak #1018 in the last four years. This was an Island paradise in northeast Philly. I upgraded my cheesesteak to a monkey steak. I'm glad I did. I didn't like the $17 price but the place was decorated so well I got over it. I took a picture of the menu so you can see what makes a cheesesteak a monkey steak. Traditionalist aren't going to like this cheesesteak but everyone else will.

Use to love this place and still can say the food is delicious. this pretty big hair in my meal wasn't really what I expected to eat. I let the waitress know and she did not charge me for that haired meal, I do appreciate that. But still disgusting.

I actually thought I reviewed this place a while back but I guess I didn't. This place some quirks that are amazing! The spicy ketchup, the cheesesteak rolls, the many wing flavor and preparation options!!! Oh my, I love it! I often get the salmon, the rolls and a different flavor of wings every time I order but they're well made and delicious! I def recommend them as they always have good food. I've also dined in once or twice and each time the drinks are good and the place is packed so they're pretty good and many think so! It's also oddly right across from a train station so there's another quirk that kind of gives it character.

When I'm in town visiting friends and family, this place is always a must on my to-eat list. It's located across from the Torresdale train station, and it's typically crowded on weekends. Be prepared to wait for 45 minutes for a table. I love eating here when the weather is nice, because there's a great outdoor seating area. Inside is a bit worn down, but I think it adds to its charm. There's a few TVs with the local games going, and a lot of people will pack the place during playoff season and big game nights. The beer and alcohol menu is extensive, and I like that there's always a cider or two on tap. The prices are reasonable and the hour hour deals are decent. There's typically a waitress running around making sure your drink is full and you're not waiting for a refill or another beer to drink. I like the menu, because items are clearly marked gluten free and/or vegan. It makes it super accessible and easy to navigate. Plus, the staff are trained to answer any questions about ingredients instead of making things up or making assumptions. I love getting one of the cauliflower pizzas. I always ask for no bacon, and it's easily done. My friends and I have never had problems with our orders, and the portions are a good size. The food is pretty good, and it's always made fresh. If you're looking for a good place to grab a beer and dinner, I highly recommend this place. It's a little loud, but I think it adds to the charm, because it's a ton of friends and family coming together. It's a local spot for sure.
