Price: Very Expensive
• Italian • South Philly
Booked 53 times today
Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!

    Food was excellent. Wife's gluten free pizza was outstanding. Many nice places to sit with good street views. Unfortunately, our seat was by the entrance and wife got great views of the toilet 20' away through the open bathroom door. People coming and going leaving the seat down or up. Kind of a yucky thought as you're eating. Can't "unsee" it from where she sat. $3 for a can of soda is disappointing.

    I haven’t been here in a few years and decided to return as I’ve always loved the ambiance. I remember the food as being good but not excellent. This time it was excellent as was the seevice and everything about our meal. It seems they have really stepped things up a notch since I was last there. I’ll definitely be back again soon!
