Been here multiple times and if your ever in the Ridley Park you need to come and check out the "Joe Beef". Completely crazy hot roast beef sandwich with provolone cheese and horse radish. A bit of a seedy place but completely safe and a must try for lunch. I love their sandwiches and it's across the street from possibly the greatest cheese steaks ever. I am looking forward to my next visit.

On a Thursday evening, the place was jammed with both bar and restaurant customers....great atmosphere but a bit noisy. We had their award winning whiskey sours which lived up to its reputation. The food was unique and very well prepared. The service was also top notch.

This multi level bar/restaurant is a great neighborhood spot. The food is always tasty with large portions. There is always a good beer selection on tap, and the staff is attentive and friendly. They have good happy hours with good food and drink specials, with very good wings and nachos.

Looking for a Whiskey Bar? Lion's Head has a nice Whiskey menu, with about 16 "new" Whiskeys on it. Give the House 3 Peach Cobbler Pie Moonshine a try, sweet smooth and delish. I didn't go in looking for whiskey that was just a bonus. They also have aprox. 15 craft beers to offer, I'm not into those so I stuck with an Ice Cold Bud Light. We went in to check it out and grab a bite to eat and we were glad we did. Started off with Filet Cheese Steak Wontons, very cheesey and better than cheesesteak egg rolls we have gotten everywhere lately. A bowl of Chicken Chili was very good although I would have preferred cheese and sour cream served on top. A word to the waitress provided those when asked. Next, we decided to split 2 items, the Chicken & Funnel cake Fries and the Apple Brie Grilled Cheese. The boneless, very crispy, chicken bites are drenched in a Thai chili & cilantro sauce and accompanied by Funnel Cake Fries, served with a cool sweet corn dipping sauce. The chicken is sweet and pretty spicy, the dipping sauce tones down the spice and it was a fun pairing with the Funnel cake fries. Next, the Apple Brie Grilled Cheese, 2 thick slices of brioche bread grilled with cheddar, brie, bacon and caramelized onions. My mouth is watering just typing this... Looking forward to going back and trying some other menu items. It was a nice pub atmosphere with a very friendly and knowledgeable bartender named Shawn, who also helped out in the kitchen when they got busy and were evidently short-handed. He was a charmer and we will be back to see him!Kelly,We are thrilled that you had a very positive experience. We've expanded our tequila menu with matching cocktails to go along side the whiskeys. We also have a vanilla and coffee barrel aged bourbon pouring right now. We look forward to exceeding your expectations on your next visit.

No pic this time but the food was typical except the salad seemed to have shrunken over the years and it appeared to have been thrown together in haste. Nevertheless I ate it and the wings were pretty good as usual. No complaints about the service.

Ordered a cheeseburger & fries to be safe. Burger was dense & bland. Fries cold & soggy. Chilcken fingers were also left virtually untouched. Would not recommend.

Some things never change, and some things never should, like the awesome roast beef sandwiches at Nicks. Throw some broccoli rabe on them, a bit of horseradish and yellow hot peppers and heaven in a soft large roll! Make sure to ask for a side of gravy to dip your sandwich. Sooo good.Donât forget the gravy fries drenched in roast beef gravy laden with chunks of roast beef. Delectable! Go out of your way if you have to and visit Nickâs a happy tummy time.

Arden was our server and she was very sweet and very attentive. Four of us dined. We started with raw clams and stuffed clams which were very good. Entrees were stuffed surf and turf and baked stuffed shrimp. All was great. Will be back on my next trip back home to Philly.

Environment as described by other reviewers but food was mediocre at best. Two appetizers, egg rolls pretty good, lobster flat bread-- fair at best. Two southwest chicken salads chicken itself was very good BUT there must have been a sale on Serrano peppers as there seemed to be an equal amount of peppers to lettuce.Will not be back!!!!!
