Army / Navy place to eat

by CrazyTom

I have been comming to Philadelphia from Boston, home of the best seafood, every year the Army Navy game is in Philly. Every year my fellow classmates get together at this restaurant for some great grub, delicious drinks and good old fashion fun. I know it has been opened for a long time for a restaurant because I can't remember not eating here but each year it is the same great food. As we are taught in the military it is all about getting it done with teamwork. Well this team sure did it again tonight. Same great crabcakes, good mussels they have even added fish tacos for my San Diego buddy. How can you walk out of a place with 12 buds and we paid less than $40 a head drinks and all. They even have a liter of wine, we got 6 glasses out of it, for around $20 bucks.

I am in town until sunday. I maybe back for lunch tomorrow.

• Pros: smiling faces and helpful service
• Cons: too cheap

Unbelievable value .....and why would sally spend time in the bathrooms

by bigcheeseneversmells

I have to laugh at the last few postings about this restaurant. Did the owner clean house and fire the incompetent employees and they are writing reviews that are trying to hurt him? Looks that way to me. Some time pettiness gets the better of people with no job, no life and nothing to do but try to hurt others. Maybe they spent to much time in the bathrooms with the knickers around their ankles and not doing what they were suppose to do. That way they wouldn't have to smell their own feces and complain about it.

Some things in life are so obvious it smells. Citysearch allows anyone to write anything about a restaurant, hotel, bar, that is what is so great about the internet. So bring it on Sally, and all the other names you decide to use to trash the restaurant. Why not spend the energy looking for employment...oh thats right you are trying to collect unemployment and your claim was dismissed because you never showed up for work or were drunk on the job. Whatever.

I will read the next few reviews knowing someone was fired and has nothing to do but bad mouth others

• Pros: great food and drink
• Cons: not any

Very bad.

Wow, this place was awful.

Saturday night (8pm) and there were maybe 30% of the tables full. Never a good sign.

Ten minutes until we saw our waiter. He seemed totally out of it (mumbling, having to come back over to retake our order because he didn't write it down the first time). He didn't make eye contact and shuffled off.

Our appetizers were horrendous. The grilled octopus was so tough that it was inedible. The $12 Lobster mac was a watery disaster. We wanted to send it back but we didn't see our waiter again until the check (a non-english speaking bus-person brought the entrees). No drink refills.

The entrees were below average. Oversauced fish = a waste. The food was just bad. The tuna had a funky flavor. The shrimp were stringy.

Since the service was so bad we ended up tipping him 10% instead of our usual 20. When we checked our credit card, he put an extra $10.00 for a tip! A nasty call to the restaurant had the $10 reversed on the card. They wouldn't exactly admit that he did it, but they also reversed it very quickly when asked for a photocopy of the signed receipt

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything
