I never really take the time to write reviews however it was needed for this place. Saw this place Featured on Guy Fieri's TV Show. Ordered the Grab Gravey. Was hands down the best pasta dish I have ever had by far. Got a takeout container as well. That sauce is next level. All I have to say is unbelievable. Ralph the Bartender was so nice and super friendly. Amazing Food and Service. Highly Highly Recommended. Thanks Ralph!!!

This place was popular; I was nearby at various times throughout this past Saturday and it was teeming with customers every time. But based on my experience you want to either good with food or other drinks. I stopped by around 1:30pm on Saturday, needing to burn some time before meeting up with my cousin chums at my Airbnb down the street. I'm not very familiar with Philly (much more of a NY person) and I'm sure this was my first time walking around this particular neighborhood in South Philly - very cool area, reminiscent of downtown Jersey City. I didn't do any research and just popped in here because they had a bar. Lesson learned. I was wearing a Mets jersey in anticipation of the game that night (which was a horrendous experience and doesn't need more of a reference than that), so I appreciated that everyone in this establishment was pleasant and accommodating. That honestly wasn't the case everywhere I went - the bartender was nice, and a customer actually walked up to me on his way out to pay his respects (though mostly for the recently anointed NBA champs, the Knicks). Very classy. At the end of the day, I had a drink here and it wasn't very good. I ordered an Old Fashio

Stopped into Stogie Joe’s in Passyunk Philly for happy hour and this place continues to be one of my go-to neighborhood spots. I’ve been here multiple times already and will definitely keep coming back and recommending it. Stogie Joe’s has been a South Philly staple for years and really captures that classic neighborhood bar-and-grill feel- laid back, welcoming, always packed with people, and the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other. The spot has even gotten national attention after being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, which honestly makes sense once you try the food. It’s one of those places that stays true to its roots while still becoming well-known outside the neighborhood. One thing to know before you go: it’s cash only, which honestly adds to the old-school South Philly vibe. The happy hour deals are tough to beat too. I believe they do the $10 buckets of Rolling Rock or PBR all day, every day, which is one of the better beer specials you’ll find around the city. The place has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or hanging out for a while with friends. Service is consistently

Great place to go in nice weather. They have shaded outdoor seating and over head doors that open up the inside area. The food was delicious. I got a sausage pizza and my guest had chili wings. We both loved our food.

**CASH ONLY** – Just a heads-up, this wasn’t clearly posted anywhere that I saw, so I want to make sure it’s the first thing you notice. I visited this spot because I’m a big fan of *Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives* with Guy Fieri, and I was excited to try it out. The restaurant has a cool, laid-back vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is dog-friendly, which is a nice bonus. We started with the honey hot baked wings. They had a great flavor and were fall-off-the-bone tender. That said, I wouldn’t call them “jumbo” as described on the menu—they seemed more average in size. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was a bit disappointing. It resembled more of a chicken patty topped with sauce and cheese, rather than a traditional cutlet that fills the plate. The sauce was runny and on the sweeter side—not really my thing, though that’s on me for not reading the menu more closely. The entrée only comes with *either* linguine marinara *or* a vegetable side, not both, which feels a bit stingy for the price. My girlfriend ordered the Eggplant Rigatoni, which was advertised as spicy but really wasn’t. The portion size was also smaller than expected. I guess we went in
