I came here twice and received pretty good service both times, not the most attentive staff but the menu is fantastic, theres a good amount of choices. They have daily specials and the food tastes great! This is a roomy bar so you likely can always find a place to sit and the staff is pretty laid back.
This is one of my favorite go to spots for lunch. The ambience is great...I love the subdued lighting and the cool art on the walls. Their food is always awesome! One item that I absolutely CANNOT get enough of is their fried green tomatoes! I am a meat eater and I will gladly forgo all meat just to eat this flavorful savory plate of happiness!!!!
Just left this place with my daughter all imma say is the service was 💯 the food omg the bomb.com💯 ookay Those ribs mash potatoes off the hook I love their fried green tomatoes first time having them they were really good mac& cheese really good I will be back for sure to eat more of that good food 😋
Honestly best brunch/lunch spot! Staff is always in their “A” game. I love sitting at the bar upstairs with the street view! I remember way back in the day they had good blood Marys. The Palomas on my last trip from the bartender were excellent. Also put my order in right away. And had plenty of time to eat before catching my train back home. I am happy yous survived all of this. Cheers!
Run away from the salmon burger. It is beyond mushy and inedible. The fries, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob is the only reason they got two starsThe half chicken is edible but has no flavor. Make sure you ask for salt and pepper or better yet go somewhere else.
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. I recommend the shrimp quesadilla as the ideal happy hour appetizer. Our server, José was excellent as well.
Great food. Great service. I went for restaurant week. They had many great options. The menu was large and it was a pick 4 menu. The food was good and so were the portions.
Ive always enjoyed coming here over the years. The happy hour specials are perfect. The beer selection is both limited and perfect at the same time. The dry rub wings were delicious. And the atmosphere is always what Im looking for.
Cool spot. Food good. But the prices are sketchy the shots are cheaper than the mixed drinks that are watered down.
Great food and drinks but service by one individual wasnt great. They didnt smile once and didnt make us feel welcome at all. We sat upstairs and wish we had sat downstairs as the lady down there was much more pleasant!
Great happy hour specials and solid food make Devils Alley a worthy stop if youre in/near Rittenhouse Sq. They have two levels and a nice outdoor area. We have visited a few times and eaten just about all the appetizers, there are no duds in the menu at all!
Excellent food! Marvelous waitstaff! Superb ambiance! This venue is off the charts! They have a high-level of competence!
I never leave reviews but this place was awful. They got almost every single order wrong and they tried to charge us for things we didn’t even get. The manager took 20 minutes to come before finally telling us there was nothing he would do about it and we should pay the full price. Huh? When I told him we lived locally and he was throwing away future business for nothing, he shrugged, said he didn’t care, and walked away. Yeah do yourself a favor and skip this place if you want food/drinks. There are plenty of better options nearby.
4/5 been here a couple of times for the burger. They’ve always been decent but nothing spectacularly mind blowing.
The food was great. I had the Cobb salad with grilled chicken and the Chipotle dressing and it was delicious. Also had the fried green tomatoes and macaroni and cheese appetizers. Everything was great. Plus a couple ice cold beers. I would definitely go back to this place.
Tasty salmon burger and fries, service was great and thank you for having outdoor seating.
I think the chicken tacos with mango and the special sauce are the best plate in the menu. I felt bad for my waitress as it was obvious that they are understaffed. At some point they lost electricity and they could only accept cash. Despite this, great food and great service.
Heard about this location from a friend who has been here and they raved about the food. So my gf and I came we were absolutely not disappointed, the service was awesome, the drinks were very well made and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Had the chicken and ribs combo and the meat was falling off the bone. Im not a coleslaw person but their coleslaw was so good. Definitely coming back!!!
Very disappointing, used to be great, now its poor quality made poorly, hard to check this one off the list, was always a good spot.
Great food. Calm and modern/industrial atmosphere. Nice indien rock/psychedelic rock music. I do feel bad for the poor waitress, seemed like she was the only one serving. She did great though!
I was recommended this place by a fellow foodie. I ordered alittle bit of everything. Drink was a Pink Lemonade-5… It was so strong all you need is 1… 2 if you’re trying to get lit😅. What we ordered for food was Jerked wings-3 1/2, Mahi Mahi Tacos-3, Herbed Chicken Sandwich-5, Philly Cheesesteak Rolls-5, Chicken Quesadilla-2 (too many onions) and last but not least Grilled Romaine w/ shrimp-5. I rated them on a scale from 1-5. Overall I recommend this place. Cheers 🥂
Cool space with a two story atrium and outdoor seating. Food is reasonably priced, especially for its proximity to Rittenhouse Sq. Brunch specials on the weekend are great, skewing mexican, at this otherwise contemporary + american bar/grill.
Absolutely love this place. Very nice vibe. Very good food.
Great food. We really enjoyed it. I got grilled cheese w/ fried green tomatoes. Unusual but very good.
Marlena Z. is awesome! Great drinks and atmosphere also.
Food was very good. Kind of slow to get to the table and a little pricey, though. $14 for 6 wings! Restroom is an experience of its own. Its not terribly nasty, but it looks like it should be and it stinks like its in the basement... because it is.
I love this place.! I am a fan of their cheesesteak egg rolls. Overall they offer a good menu with a decent variety of foods. But if you enjoy cheesesteak egg rolls, this is place to go.
Ordered a salmon burger and St. Louis ribs. The salmon burger had an Asian slaw on top with a spicy mayo on the side to smear on the bun. Fries and a pickle. The ribs were spicy dry rub and WOW, they did not disappoint! The best ribs Ive ever had - no exaggeration!!! Fries and slaw. Service was fast and easy.
Visited Philly this past weekend and stopped here for Brunch with a friend. It was located around the corner from the hotel I was staying in, so I gave it a shot. The Sirloin Beef Burger was AWESOME! Its the best burger Ive had in a long time. Very flavorful. I had it with Provolone Cheese and mushrooms with Beer Battered Onion Rings. Sooooo delicious. Good prices. Excellent service too. Definitely will visit this Bar and Grill again.
Amazing food! Pulled pork sandwich is one of my favorites, ask for extra BBQ!. If you get there before the weekday lunch rush they have a few tables by the balcony with a nice view of Chestnut street. It WILL get crowded during lunch, but the food and atmosphere is really great. 10/10 would recommend.
The Sonesta (Fran) recommended this place to us and made the reservation for our party of 10 for dinner on a Saturday night. We were given a private table upstairs. Our table was ready when we arrived and our server and everyone running food to us was excellent.Our food orders came out fast, correct, and hot. Everything was well seasoned and excellent. Best meal of my weekend trip. I had a bacon cheeseburger and sweet potato fries.I do not recommend the iced tea if you drink it plain. It was a strong brew and Im not sure sugar would have helped it. I stuck to water.
Came here with my friend for restaurant week and had a great time! Our waiter Todd was wonderful! Super attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We made a 5:00 reservation on a weekday and had plenty of time to enjoy the food and talk without being rushed out. They also had some reasonable drink specials going on for happy hour. I also highly reccomend getting the brownie dessert; super warm and fudgy served with fresh whipped cream.
I recently coordinated a holiday gathering at Devils Alley and was incredibly happy with the level of service and our entire experience. Lauren was a pleasure to work with to get everything organized and coordinated. On the night of our event, we were situated in a beautiful semi-private space upstairs with plenty of room for guests to stand and chat around high top tables or sit and eat. All of the food and drinks were delicious. Our server and the manager both took great care of us. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend for a small gathering space!
Great food! It was lunch time and very busy. Waitress did her best to care for customers
We walked to Rittenhouse for brunch on a Sunday and came upon Devils Alley. Our meal was delicious, and our server was incredibly friendly. Loved the outdoor seating and location is great!
So good. Burger and sweet potatoes were delicious.
Absolutely loved it here. The workers are phenomenal. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The crowd was really diverse and the drinks were so cheap! Went for happy hour and had a great time. If youre in the philly area definitely stop by and check it out. Dont let the name scare you away! Lots of fun waiting for ya.
Very delicious and affordable even has a good craft beer menu. The waiter was very nice and accommodating. We sat upstairs next to the window and were able to watch the busy street while we ate. A lot of fun and worthy of going to again.
Easily the best buffalo chicken sandwich in the city. Really the best anywhere. Its not your typical breaded chicken dipped in buffalo sauce but a cleaner and tastier version. Otherwise, the Philly Cuban is excellent and the rest of the menu is great. Good service, seating on two floors and outside. Great for a casual or business lunch.
This place was my favorite bar for 2 years while I was living in Center City. The staff is always helpful, and incredibly accommodating. Although, dont be scared by the bathroom, its graffitid for the look. If you go, highly recommend a Sunday trip for margarita pitchers or $3 craft bottles on Tuesdays. The burgers are cheaper than Shake Shack and a million times better. Guacamole Bacon & Cheddar comes highly recommended. Go for the happy hour, stay for the food.
Kind of late visit (10:30pm Saturday night) and we were pleased the kitchen was still serving full menu. Seating was available upstairs and our server Meghan was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious. I had the salmon burger and my friend had the pulled pork sandwich. Mine came with fresh cut fries, also tasty, and my friend ordered a side of fries with his. His fries were not as hot as he liked and he asked Meghan to bring some fresh ones which she did with no problem. The prices arent cheap but not over the top either for the quality it seems. We really enjoyed our meal and I will likely go back and try other dishes on the menu.
Places like this are one of the reasons why Philadelphia is my favorite place to eat in the United States. Center City has long been considered highly livable as far as big cities go - and Devils Alley had an absolutely welcoming ambiance which made you want to spend more time and enjoy your meal. While Ive dabbled in their breakfast skillets, which were quite good, what I found truly incredible were the hamburgers and their Chorizo burger was one of the best burgers Ive had in recent memory. This joint is a Friday night kinda place, and dont neglect to pair your food with a pint - something dark and malty to match the dimly lit aesthetic of this restaurant. Come when its cold and rainy to forget about the day for awhile.
Amazing staff and friendly. Ordered for delivery through Caviar and our delivery driver stole our food... we decided to do pickup at the restaurant and they were very apologetic and even comped some items for our trouble. The food was very tasty and fairly priced.
They have some really good burgers at this place. I highly recommend the surf and turf Burger. The server was nice, the food took a little bit longer than it should have. The bathrooms are strange and a little bit smelly downstairs in the basement. I would recommend trying again.
This restaurant is amazing. From the food, the atmosphere, to the service. We had reservation for a restaurant down the the road for my girlfriends 21st birthday and then the restaurant basically has told us that they needed to push our 8:00PM reservation to 9:30PM, so we had decided to go somewhere else (having some people who are celebrating Ramadan, we wanted to get them some food). So then we had called Devil’s Alley and asked about getting a group of tables for 15 and they were so accommodating. The food was not badly priced and neither were the drinks (especially since the portion sizes are so big)! The waitress made sure that we were happy at all times and when there was a mistake, it became the top of her priority list!Soo nice, we really appreciated how easy they made this stressful situation.
Excellent place for starters and drinks. However, I noticed the service was pretty slow last time and also the servers didnt pay much attention. They seemed to be lost in their own little world right across the kitchen. I definitely recommend fried calamari and chicken wings dry rub.
It seems very odd that this place would have no Google Maps reviews, but I assure you that its a great bar. I went a few months ago with my girlfriend, and we both really liked it. Nice atmosphere that isnt too loud or cramped. I dont recall the beer, but I do remember the food- really good. In fact we really havent stopped talking about it since we went. Ill be heading back there soon- crab, bacon, & jalapeño mac n cheese!
Had the Philly Cuban and the rum beverage with hawaiian punch (cant remove the exact name). Sandwich was delish but I didnt think the drink was super strong. Weather was great so my group enjoyed the patio seating. Laid back vibe and I live that sweet potato fries were an option with my meal.Also had the nachos with chorizo as an appetizer and it was great!
Having a sudden need for a burger, the first in six months in the midst of the pandemic, we ordered for pick up at Devil’s Alley. I like my hamburgers medium rare, and actually didn’t know it came with fries that I’ve since learned they hand cut themselves.All was perfect!
By far one of my favorite places to stop in for lunch during the week. They get me in and out in under an hour.Their brews and crew are phenomenal. They always take good care of me.Love their lunch specials. Food is always good 🍔🌮🍲
Just Awesome. Went on a Saturday Night with a party of 3... sat on the second floor in the back, closest to what is assumed as the kitchen... the pulled pork was GREAT. Someone else from our party got a grilled chicken Caesar wrap that was also amazing... the grilled chicken was so good... tasted even better the next say for lunch.... great prices too.. well definitely be headed back... shout out to our server THOR he was great and what a cool name if its real
This place has been around for 10+ years and it is as good today as it was back in the day. If you go, be sure to get the spicy dry rubbed wings. It is an appetizer but there have been times when I ordered two plates of them as my meal!
Had brunch there. Loved the interior. And the food and mimosas were great
After much deliberation, I decided to go to Devils Alley Bar & Grill with some friends to kick-off my 24th birthday. Overall, it was just okay.CONS: They claimed they couldnt find our reservation, and that there was nothing recorded for a party of 8. Once we were seated, we noticed that the restaurant menu didnt match the online menu; since there were allergies / dietary restrictions in our party that night, we were slightly concerned and frustrated. The food was okay, but most of it was bland and/or under-seasoned.PROS: There was a cool drink selection, and a decent atmosphere. Luckily, the hostess was able to make some arrangements to accommodate our reservation after a few minutes.I probably wouldnt return - especially not for an occasion.
Came here with a friend. It wasnt too crowded. I had a fairly standard bacon and eggs type dish. Didnt look spectacular but tasted great.We both had a grapefruit Sunday morning drink that was wonderfully refreshing.Prices were pretty reasonable. Id come back.
Pretty good burger with sriracha aioli sauce, well made, happy hour prices are dirt cheap, staff was lovely.
Favorite place to go for pulled pork sandwich. With the cheese melted on top, phew they know what they’re doing. I’ve tried a lot of pulled pork sandwiches, but Devil’s Alley definitely has the best. Been going to this place for years and am not stopping now!
One of the worst dining experiences Ive had. Service was great, server was attentive. Ordered some drinks which tasted as if there was no alcohol in them at all considering their daily special. Appetizers came out warm, probably the worst nachos Ive had. Fries were over salted. Food was overpriced considering the quality. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
Large group that ordered ahead. Food was hot and came out on time. Right number of servers and super efficient. Good burgers. Everyone seemed pleased with their food. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
A very nice little space with soaring ceilings and trees in the middle. The benches werent super comfy but at least they provided pillows. The restroom is a bit of an adventure. The atmosphere is very nice though and the high ceilings keep it from getting loud when crowded. Breakfast was super tasty with a pretty huge menu and tons of cocktails and drinks. The man mosa which is orange juice with wheat beer was nice and tangy and great in the morning. I dont know why I ordered grits because I normally dont like them, but these were exceptional. They were tasty and flavorful with a bite of bacon in just about every spoonful. The shrimp was also nice and succulent and there was plenty of it.
The place has a great atmosphere, the people are friendly, and the food was delicious. There was no waiting for us, our table overlooked the street, which was great, since I love to people watch. We had some drinks with our brunch, which were decently priced and delicious too. We are looking forward to going back again
Restaurant week deal was a steal (4 courses for $35 and big portions!!) and the food was great. Our server, Lauren, was attentive and friendly. It was a good experience, aside from the basement bathrooms, which creeped me out a tad.
Great happy hour deals, friendly service. There is nice seating upstairs that is covered but looks out onto the street. The day we went, their tequila rep visited and the whole place got a round of margaritas on him. I know thats just lucky timing, but wow great experience at this place!
My partner and I stumbled into Devils Alley by accident. It was our first night in Philadelphia and we got caught in the rain - I sure am glad we did!!This restaurant had a beautiful inside with charming decor, great service and staff, as well as some great happy hour deals. Our food was delicious and the rain continued, so we were able to stay and sample out more of their great beer selection.If I had more time I would return here or recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Food (rubbed wings) was good as usual. They were short staffed which appeared to affect our service.
We enjoy this place! We come here mostly for brunch and it is delicious! I got the steak and eggs and was cooked to perfection. Our server was great and had an awesome personality. I would recommend trying this place out.
Nice place for dinner and a few drinks. Drink specials are good. Had the entree special on last Saturday of October. Pork Schnizel with Pumpkin Spatzel. Crazy good. Server was dressed as He-man for the costume party later that night. Good vibe and really nice service. Will be back & cant wait!!
Unusual flavor combinations but Ive never been disappointed with my meal. If youre feeling adventurous it is definitely worth a stop, and they do have some more traditional fare like a buffalo chicken sandwich or a straightforward burger.
If you manage to get a seat upstairs on a nice day you have a really nice view of the street.The food is fairly good- definitely the standard fried food that goes good with a beer. They have outdoor seating too.
My family and I went to devils alley for restaurant week. BAD idea. They shouldn’t have even participated in restaurant week. They left us at the the entrance of the restaurant without anyone greeting us or acknowledging us standing there. Several staff members walked passed us and still never asked if we’ve been helped. Once we was seated the waiter ... omg... Horrible horrible horrible. He had a attitude the whole time. The food was precooked as you can hear them yelling the orders in the back and saying restaurant week. After each order.It was a major disaster . The size of the meals looked like they was kid meal size. Oh it was a big disaster. I gave it 1 star because you had to rate the restaurant. My actual rating is -⭐️
Ordered the crab cake meal to go, and asked to substitute the vegetables for the Cole slaw that came with the dish. So, should have received the crab cakes, French fries and vegetables. Got home, and realized they didnt give me any fries. Called them, and the hostess told me that, since the Cole slaw is so little, THEY decided to replace the French fries instead!!! I expressed that she shouldve informed me of that rather than make that decision for me, especially since the charged me extra for the vegetables! So, they charged me extra AND, didnt give me my full meal!!!! She didnt apologize at all, but instead just said, yea, well thats what happened. And then said goodbye and hung up. It was right before closing, so we couldnt even go all the way back to address the problem in person. Im disgusted, not with the mistake, but with their cavalier attitude towards my complaint about their mistake. I will be sure to let everyone know NOT to patronize this restaurant if you want to be treated well.
Really good calamari and big portions on burgers. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends, go to Sunday brunch/lunch, or go on a first date. The upstairs bartender is very friendly.
Great service, food was excellent
Todd is an AMAZING waiter the service is the main reason why we would come back food n drink was very good too
Awesome bloody mary and good brunch menu. Waitress was bad. More concerned with her phone than serving and the place was dead. My freind had to bring her water glass to the bar for a refill. Good food, good luck on the service!
I adore this venue very much. there is a different ambiance. The meals are marvelous. the service is efficient and the waiters are well trained. The cost is reasonable. deeply recommend.
Ordered food from here before and it was pretty tasty. Stopped in the other day for a margarita special however, that is on Mondays. So had some moonshine drink at upstairs bar and mostly ice and water..yuck!Would still give it a try for the margarita special though.
Good bartender and good interior vibe.
Their food and beer selections are fantastic. The kitchen is inconsistent with timing - you might get your food in 10 minutes or possibly 50. You cant tell, so I wouldnt go here if you have a tight schedule
Great drinks, really friendly and helpful hosts!
Went with my boyfriend for brunch. The food here is outstanding! Very clean, great service, and amazing vibe. We will definitely come back!
The food was wonderful! I got the chorizo burger with a hard fried egg. Delicious is an understatement. The drinks were a little...meh...for brunch, but still definitely worth getting.
Ive always enjoyed their food but came for a burger as it is one of the best in Philly. The shrimp and grits caught my eye on the menu and it did not disappoint!! Off the chain good!!
Great service, solid beer list and there walnut uncrusted chicken fingers were great
Great lunch and less formal dinner spot. Food can be inconsistent - had cold wings once. Otherwise the meals are decent enough and the atmosphere is largely what youd expect by looking at the place.
My husband and I went in here last week while we were waiting for passport pictures to be done next door. Just wanted to waste some time so we ordered a plate of nachos to share. OMG! We did not expect to taste the most delicious nachos EVER! BEST NACHOS WEVE EVER HAD! They were so good we decided to book a hotel near there for our anniversary in November so we can have more nachos and taste more of the menu. Cant wait!
Not a good experience at all. On one side of us, the girls had sat there the entire length of our meal with finished plates that werent cleared. On the other side of us, a little old lady asked for her iced tea 4 times before eventually getting it. They ran out of knives when they served our meal and our waiter didnt check in on us until he wanted his check. Nobody seemed to know what their role was and was super disorganized. On top of that, the food was just ok; the potatoes were very dry and French toast burnt. Probably not going back.
Good beer specials, cool decor, the bartenders were awesome, and the only food Ive had there are the dry rubbed wings and they were seriously amazing. The only weird thing was we went there to watch the Eagles game, and it was pretty much empty.
Awesome happy hour menu - try the Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls. 😋 Yummy!
This bar is definitely chill. Came here for Philly Sips promotion and definitely had a good time! Its definitely a place I would come after work just to relax, have a drink, and possibly eat some food. I think you have to be 21 to eat here, since they checked IDs before we entered.ServiceService was great! Hostess was able to find us a seat right away even though the place was somewhat packed. The server came really soon after we were sitted. Whats great was also she got our drinks out almost as soon as we ordered them! I have to give them thumbs up since it was busy, too. The waitstaff was nice and definitely did a good job on being punctual in coming back to us.FoodDefinitely try the green tomatos!! They were amazing. It was under Philly Sips, so we got 4 for $4.5 (which might sound kind of pricey). According to other reviews, the tomatos were mentioned as well. We also had their sliders, mussels, dry-rubbed wings, and their three-cheese and pesto pizza. The pizza placed second; it was pretty good, but a little oily. The wings were also amazing, but a little charred. The sliders was nothing too special. The mussels werent that great. We werent given a full menu, so I cant give more heads up on their other selections.EnvironmentAlthough relatively small in space, it has two floors. The restaurant also features a nice outdoor area, which is great in good weather. I came during happy hour, so it was relatively packed. Areas in front of the bars were crowded, but it wasnt that hard to get through. The decor is relatively normal.Pros: Service, Fried Green Tomatos,Cons: Crowded during Happy HourRecommendations: Green Tomatos, dry-rubbed wings, pizza.Rating: 4.3/5
The bartender rushed me into making a quick choice and didnt notify me that there would be an upcharge to add cheese to my meal. The place was a mess apon arrival, all tables yet to be bussed. Drink service is subpar and I dont recommend visiting this location. As the name insists, it trully is The Devils Alley.
We ate brunch and lunch there. Brunch was tasty with great pancakes and real maple syrup! Lunch was equally good with an excellent, perfectly cooked burger. The house made chips are excellent!
The staff and atmosphere was great. The food was awesome. This is the first time Ive eaten at a restaurant for Thanksgiving and Im so glad my husband and I picked this place.
I have been here a couple of times for lunch and brunch and it is a very good restaurant and the food is satisfying. Good and reliable.
Great burger and good beer.
Came in on a monday afternoon, it was quite sparse with other people. I ordered the nachos and none of the food seemed fresh: the cheese, chips, salsa and such did not seem scratch made or fresh. I didnt enjoy them too much and my friend had ordered the chicken chilli and the chicken was cubed breast meat which was unexpected but what he ordered. Said it was okay, kinda bland. Coulda been nice with some fresh herbs and produce but eh. Just my two cents on when I came to try the food.
Great comfort food. This restaurant is often my go to place to get a great mealat a reasonable price. Wait staff is always friendly, courteous, helpful and accommodating.
Great neat place for lunch or dinner. Gets crowded at peak hours, but thats a good validation right? Stop by and enjoy. Sit outside if its nice out. The buffalo sandwich is to die for
I love the food here. Indoor and outdoor seating plus another level upstairs. Theres something for everyone on the menu, even kids - so bring them.
Great place with great food! Everything tastes fresh. I really like the drink selection as well.
Though it is a super busy place, but as soon as you are seated you will definitely like the food, drinks and atmosphere. If you are a burger lover, this place is a paradise for you. The only thing we dont like here is the cleanliness of the restrooms. You have to move forward.
Great food. Try the chorizo burger if you like some spice. Average beer selection. Gets dinged one star for consistently slow service, but hey its good enough my coworkers and I keep going back.
I can happily say this is one of the best Cubans I have ever had. There are probably more authentic sandwiches out there, and probably better ones, but I personally have not found them.I will return when next in Philadelphia.
Im sorry I have to rate this at a one! It was first visit and I must say my service was horrible when my boyfriend and a lady sitting near us complained about being served a hot beer and and the bar tender gave a excuse of oh yeah our refrigerator has been going in and out all day! So we made a suggestion of maybe placing them in a bucket on ice if hed continue to offer them he just walks away. Then as Im eating my meal which I had the crab cake platter and I must say it was very tasty! Then as I go to load my fork and see a dead fly on my plate I was so disappointed, not just by the fly being in my food but even more so that the bar tender/manager was not friendly about the matter he just took my plate and said Ill take it to the cook never once apologizing nor asking me if I wanted anything else! Like really I would have been satisfied with just that an apology needless to say he never came back to the table to address the matter. So my boyfriend went to pay the tab and the bar tender/ manager said this isnt the first time that this has happen and Im just going to clear the tab still no apologies!!!!! So I just suggest check your plate very well before and while eating.
Great value for money and loved the food and drinks... Esp the happy hour! Pizza was sooo good! The place has a nice vibe to it and very true to its name though not too claustrophobic like an alley.
One of the best places to eat in Philly. Everything on the menu is awesome, and I love the drinks as well. Great place to hang out with friends. Everybody I took there just loved it.
My girlfriend and I went to brunch. This place is absolutely amazing. They have a great vibe, simple menu, and reasonably prices. Best breakfast in philly.
Today my family met up with another family for lunch at Devils Alley. 3 kids, 1 baby, 4 adults. I was nervous at fist as most restaurants in Center City arent used to having any kids. But I called ahead and Bill assured it wouldnt be a problem, and took care of setting us up ahead of time.When we got there just (TIP: go before noon to beat the crowds) the table for 8 was already set up including a highchair. My 6 year old appreciated ESPN on the nice flat pan. TV, I appreciated that it didnt have the sound on.Onto the food - great menu for kids and adults. Definitely a southern flavor to it ... apps include Fried Green Tomatoes (YUM) to a number of great-sounding Quesadillas (Crab and Avocado anyone?). Entrees include BBQ chicken or ribs with cornbread, whipped sweet potatoes or mac n cheese. Lots of Salads and sandwiches. The only bummer is that fries or side salad is and additional charge. TIP: I recommend getting the bucket of fries to share instead - great portion and theyre amazing! They easily served 4 adultsThe kids had some amazing chicken strips and a grilled cheese that was to die for. The adults had cheeseburgers, Turkey Cubanos (turkey, pickle, bacon, mustard with tomato jam dip) and a Buffalo Chicken sandwich. Everyone was full and happy.Service was top notch - thanks Amanda! The manager checked in on us, the food came quickly, and the waitress was always available for extra napkins, refills, mustard, etc.Atmosphere is eclectic, I suppose. Rugged industrial meets trendy garden. Open, airy feeling, but a little loud. Not too bad and it helped to cover over any baby noises.So - all in all 4 stars. I think the price could be a little better on the sandwiches - or just include the fries, but overall the menu is a nice change of pace, and the service was top notch.
Great food for decent prices and good service.
Been coming here for a few years now as a meet-up spot with friends. The food is always excellent, service is always good, and the drinks are good too (though a little pricey). Definitely recommend to anyone checking it out.
From the second we walked in we knew we would like this place. Great drink selection, I had the surf and turf (burger with crab meat) it was phenomenal. 10/10 will go again!!
Friendly staff, cool atmosphere. There usually isnt a issue with seating. They changed the presentation of some food, which isnt my favorite. Overall its nice.
Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Food showed a lack of effort. I ordered a brisket sandwich, which was fatty, came on buttery toast, and had no flavor. Unfortunate for such a great location.
Great atmosphere. Good service. But they lost a star because the kitchen sent out a burger ordered medium well that was burned on the outside and very rare on the inside. Had to send it back.
Good food, good drinks, the people who work here are also great! Its a nice spot to hang out and let time go by while having some fun
We waited 30 minutes to get the food menus. Had to get up and get them myself. Our order was never taken anyway. The waiter, seemed to be more interested in checking out his phone than waiting at tables. Awful place. Ill never come back here.
Food and service was good; however we arrived at 4:45 pm and were seated. We wernt told about Happy hour until we had ordered full price drinks, and it was 500pm
Great place to eat, price is fair portions are large. Dry rub wings are very good!!! Great lunch spot or quick drinks.
The service this evening was horrible the managerOwnerHer Hospitality was just bad .She makes me feel like she has a problem with different cultures.
Great healthy food good drinks great night vibe
Great food for great prices! Super busy... stay away from the bathrooms though - utterly disgusting. Dont judge the food on what customers do to destroy the restrooms though!
Awesome place to eat food when in a hurry. Their customer service is quick, rates are convenient, awesome vibes. Will come back again
Really good burgers. I also liked the mixed drinks they made. Id recommend it for a night out with a small group.
Spicy mayo on everything. Legitimately a contender for best burger in philly. Dont be fooled the salads pack a punch.
Finest food, helpful staff members, regularly awesome character. They charge reasonable prices and the food quality is great. Highly recommended.
It was really great both because of the food and bar experience. The lighting isn’t hard on the eye and it’s relaxing. We also didn’t have to wait long at all.
The food was amazing! The drink specials are not too great, bit the food makes up for it. The fried green tomatoes and short rib mac and cheese is to die for!
I stopped by at night to get drinks and wings and the service was on point ! The bartender was very attentive and nice. There’s also outside seating during covid !
The Craft beer selection has alot of local and regional selection. Dinner was great and a friendly crowd. When I go out to the city I always try and stop.
Really good food, excellent service, and good atmosphere (though oddly quiet after 9 pm (Tuesday)). The crabcakes were exceptionally rich and tasty.
Bad service and bad food along with a long waits for everything on more than one visit. Just a glutton for punishment I guess and kept returning thinking maybe things would change. Until this place gets new owners, I wont be back. Overall cleanliness saves it from a 1 star.
Hanging out with friends. Our waiter Henry is the best.
Great lunch spot. Not too crowded or too loud to hear my friend talk. I got the crab cakes and was very pleased with them.
Great food and mellow staff. A real gem in Philly. They served up an amazing Christmas dinner.
Awful serivce, waitress didnt care about us. Never brought me my toast after I told her no one brough it. Eggs were undercooked, barely even greeted us. Would not recommend.
It was a crazy lunch rush BUT the bartender handled it with grace. The food was great per usual. Will definitely go back
Overall, the food is just okay. Service was friendly, but a little loopy - we had to remind him to bring drinks and setups. The wings were the highlight here, but with so many other options in the area, Id dine elsewhere.
Prices were fair but the drinks were watered down. Also had to wait a while to get in (went around 1pm on Sunday) so we gave them our phone number to call us.
Good environment. Decent menu. Nice busy place but not too loud. Has a porch upstairs.
Absolutely delicious. Meat is well seasoned and falls off the bone.
Good food, good wait staff, friendly atmosphere but gets extremely crowded at times.
Really excellent food, everything was terrific. Cool, very unique atmosphere in a cool space. Definitely worth checking out 👍
Awesome food. Great atmosphere.
Great food. Great service. A little loud but worth it. Recommend a reservation for typical rush hour times.
Good vibe, good service, good food and reasonably priced.
Great find! Food was delicious and the place has a cool feel about it. Surprisingly, the prices were reasonable too.
Ate brunch with a former co-worker on a Saturday after visiting the Rittenhouse Square Art Show. The food was good and not expensive. The service was also good.
Best damn turkey burger in all of Philly.
I treated my son for dinner and we loved the food..it was his first time.. The atmosphere was fine not too loud..we enjoyed the food
Got the buff chicken sandwich. Imo went down in quality. Dry, chicken strips with little HS. The waitress was very polite though.
The service was fine but the food absolutely was microwaved. We got appetizers so I can’t speak to the main dishes but our food was absolutely frozen then reheated.
This place has a very upbeat and crowded night scene. Awesome cocktails, cool twist on some menu items. Very trendy and modern.
Always good. I wish they didnt change the chorizo burger though. That was the best burger in Philly.
Great beer.Awesome cocktails.Really good food and in a nice atmosphere.Scary bathroom. 😁
They have had issues with pick-potting in the past and have not put cameras on the second floor where this has happened before. The food was great but please be aware of your surroundings.
Love, love, LOVE this place. Consistent, quality food comes from the kitchen. Great drinks menu. Friendly staff
Pub fare....kind of eclectic....nice location, but food is nothing to get excited about.
Just had lunch there...Awesome food and service!!! Nice atmosphere, great loft setting with excellent view!! Cool place to be😎
Pretty good food especially for the price. Cool decor and atmosphere. Good service. Will definitely be returning!
Its a bar with bar food, a good local beer selection, and a facade that they open up when its nice — an ideal summer alternative to a rooftop or a patio (or if you want to be able to see the game too).
Tasty food, reasonable prices. Servers are attentive. Beer menu wasnt up to date
Great burgers and beer. Definitely a cool atmosphere. Two floors of seating including outdoor seating as well.
Always an enjoyable experience here
Perfect match of atmosphere bar with good food and drinks. Inside much better than outside, dont skip to come in when you passing by!
This was a really good brunch place, service was great and the environment was welcoming.
Spent time at the bar upstairs. Small area and the music was not very good. Drinks were moderately priced.
Love this place ... My go-to is the chorizo burger, a great patty of chorizo and a sunny side up egg on top. Just delicious
This place always has a crowd - great drink specials and awesome bar food! The buffalo chicken sandwich and burgers are definitely their specialty!
Great food & drink. Rustic but lively environment. Daily specials are consistently amazing.
The food was priced well and tasty. The drinks were well made and staff super friendly
This place is amazing. Love the crazy decor and the food (especially burgers) are dope! Great location too.
Good place for lunch or happy hour. Food is ok but sometimes not quick enough for lunch service.
Great lunch spot. Can be a bit crowded at times, but the food is good and the staff friendly.
Love this place. Good beer. Wings are some of my favorite. Air conditioning could use a tune up.
Bad service and bad food. To be fair, the bartender did say that it was his last night and he was being let go. I can absolutely see why.
I bit funky smelling but a Decent bar. The food tastes like maybe they should rename this bar to the devils taint.
Very kind staff. Everything else, including the cocktail and half-chicken, was okay.
Had a Turkey Burger with Guacamole which was very tasty. Really liked the fries which are crispy yet tender.
Food was generally good, but parents watch out - the pizza on the kids menu was inexplicably spicy
Great place to hang out. The food is a little underwhelming and lacks a devil theme. A little expensive too. But this place is definitely worth a stop in.
GREAT wine pour. They will take your nacho plate before you finish so be quick
Great food! Service is sometimes slow, but Ive always had a good time.
Great food and an awesome atmosphere. The server was very personable and pleasant.
There was no air conditioning and our server was unable to split our check by what we ordered, had to split evenly 5 ways
The worst service Ive experienced in 20 years in this city...the food was fine...they could have cared less that we were there..bused my own table
Went for mothers day brunch, the food was good and the service was good even though it was crowded.
The food and atmosphere were awesome but the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting!!!!! They were worse than frat bathrooms I was in in college
Good place. Basic and clean. Decent food and gets lively during peak hours. Bathrooms are hot as hell.
Fish tacos and risotto both great as was the service. Beer selection was plenty good.

2022-07-04Went during happy hour. Good food. Onion rings and fries were my favorite. Grilled buffalo chicken sandwich was delish. Changed the hot sauce, the one they had before was better but still good. Jerk chicken tacos were too spicy.

2021-10-15Stopped by for lunch while visiting Philadelphia. I ordered the Jerk Chicken Tacos my wife had the Chicken n Rib combination. The tacos came with a mango topping. Our food was nothing short of delicious.

2022-04-17Its a nice relaxing place but it takes forever for bartenders to take your order for anything. The food was good. Had the basic cheeseburger, considering the fact that it was my first time there so I had to get something you really cant mess up. I suggest looking at the menu prior to going so you dont have to wait 20 minutes to get started.

2022-05-15Great food and drinks; however, very disappointed that our server disappeared and we were left sitting there waiting to get doggie bags and cash out...didnt even get a chance to order more drinks! My wife finally went up to the bar and asked a manager for boxes (which she had to get herself) and our check. Dont know if ill ever go back...really disappointed in how dinner ended. If this is how youre going to treat your customers, hire more staff!!!

2021-07-31I hate the covid happened now they’re no longer selling the calamari,I would go there just for that dish specifically😩I love it here, the atmosphere is chill and cozy. Their food is really good as well, the calamari is my favorite dish, and their wings along with their chipotle ranch sauce is delicious! It’s so much flavor. The waiters/waitresses+the guests are friendly as well, prices are reasonable. Great place for tourists to visit! I’m literally obsessed with their food, go if you haven’t already.

2019-08-26Great bar with a funky modern feel and delicious food options. The whole front of the building opens to the street, which made for great people watching from the second floor. Very spacious location with more seating on the first floor. I had the devils breakfast and it was simple yet flavorful. I would recommend to anyone looking for good food and a very unique atmosphere
