The Olde Philadelphia Inn

Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly woman and asked where I wanted to be seated. The server came and was very friendly as well.I decided to order the crab pretzel. The pretzel was decent. I did not like the cheese. I felt like it took away from the taste of the crab. My partner ordered other delicacies and were very satisfied with their food. Overall it was a great place and would come back forsure. I just wouldn't order the pretzel again.

OPI certainly knows how to use their deep fryer.Fried pickles for start - so perfectly crunchy. I tend to prefer pickle chips to spears, as spears tend to remain cold in the center. OPI uses chips so they're hot all the way through when they come to the table. Ranch for dipping. My boyfriend had the boom boom shrimp and WOW. Sure the presentation is nothing spectacular but this is a bar, not a fine dining experience. The shrimp were crispy and the sauce is glorious. Next time we go I am definitely getting the boom boom shrimp tacos.As entrees, my mother and boyfriend both got cheesesteaks, though my mother opted for the chicken version (and fries). They were underwhelmed. My mother's sandwich didn't come with the tomato or onion that was listed on the menu, but I think the cook may have been confused as she special ordered cucumbers (not pickles, but plain cucumbers, like this was Subway or some such) on it. Who does that? I got the Honey Sriracha wings (Perfect combo of heat & sweet, most popular hot sauce in the country) - again, fried so the skin had that fantastic crisp, every inch covered with sauce. Would recommend.We were impressed enough that it was agreed upon that we will return. I like that the restaurant is White Marsh adjacent, close enough to shopping but you don't have to worry about finding parking and the restaurant isn't packed. We were there on a day where there was supposed to be live music. The band was just setting up as we left, so I suppose the restaurant gets a bit more rowdy then, but we had a wonderful dining experience without all that noise.

Visited OPI for the first time. I was excited to try some of Maryland's famous dishes! I ordered the crab cake , crab soup , and crab egg rolls. Unfortunately the food left me feeling cheated out of the Maryland foodie experience . The crab on all my plates did not taste fresh. I was excited to try the famous crab cakes and sadly they were not fresh and flavorless. The eggroll was very oily. The soup was good in flavor but did not have anything special about it. My meal tasted microwaved which was very disappointing. Service was decent, our server was very friendly but lacked menu knowledge. My bathroom experience was by far any better , the smell and flies in there were awful . Maybe I caught the diner on a rough week because the place was empty and very quiet on this weekday evening. The ideal location for a casual drink with a friend at their bar .

We had reservations. Waited 1/2 to get a drink order and an hour and a half for our meal. Out of lemonade. Paid $4 for a pitcher of tap water. Lettuce in the salad was limp and warm. Tomatoes were spoiled. Fried fish came out with no sides - the sides never arrived. Fried fish was the worst we've had. I can't even give a one star. Never again

We visited on a Mon afternoon for a late lunch, seating was immediate and drink orders were fast.Now for the food:The Homemade soups sounded good, we both had the French Onion, it was delightful. The broth was good and in it was soft onions and semi-cooked sweet onions, this created a good mouth feel-the contrast really worked well. The top was a layer of browned cheese that dripped down the crock. Perfect.My husband ordered the shrimp salad sandwich with a potato salad side, it was fresh and very good, seasoned just right for him.I ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp, a starter, it came out with an awful presentation...10 shrimp spread out on a single lettuce leaf, spread like someone took a spatula to cake frosting, the first stroke of it. Ok, lets eat it, they were over-cooked tough with an unpleasant crispness on the edges. The sauce was gloppy. $11.00Have to say the restaurant was very clean and service good.2 soups, 1 Starter,1 sandwich, a soft drink=$46 and change. Ouch.Probably won't be back.

My date planned this for the live music , which was good. Service was absolutely horrible!! We waited for everything. Drinks ; refills ... the "meal" took over an hour. We ordered a chicken salad and a bowl of cream of crab. OVER AN HOUR!!Food was even worse! My cream of crab was barely warm! It was on the colder side. I was so fed up I got tired of complaining. Her salad was ordered Blackened Chicken. Chicken was NOT blackened. All I could see was lettuce and croutons. Pathetic. It was so bad she sent it back and neither of us ordered anything else. I went to the bar to get refills because our server was so bad. It was my first time there and I'll never return. Just a pathetic excuse for a restaurant. I don't go on here and take my personal time to do reviews unless it's worthy of a raving review , or to expose a terrible place. I hope this saves others from wasting their hard earned money. I spent over $100 overall and I feel like I was robbed!Such an awful experience!Beware and stay away.

I enjoy OPI. Yes, the prices are a little elevated in my opinion. But, the food it good, the drinks are cold and the most importantly it's got a great atmosphere. If you're expecting 5 star service then maybe you should drink and eat elsewhere. If you have the expectations that come with bar service, you'll enjoy yourself. My favorite is the cheese steak or the crab pretzel :) the crushes are also very good.

Definitely not a place for me. First it's located in a shopping strip where most stores have closed down. The restaurant itself was pretty empty when we walked in so could sit pretty much anywhere. Now the food is eeh... this place was great about 15 yrs ago or more but has definitely declined! I ordered the pit ham on pretzel bun with cheddar cheese and sweet potato fries (99cent-extra). The "pit ham" was actually like deli meat with shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top and heated up. It was gross and had to be sent back. Complete disappointment as this could have been a great meal with real shaved pit ham and a nice slice of cheddar cheese on the pretzel bun. I've had better "pit ham " from my local deli. I could have made this meal in a few min at home using my microwave! Fortunately the waitress Stacey came back and asked how the meal was & after my feedback about how horrible it was she offered me something else Reluctantly I ordered the shrimp salad and kept the sweet potato fries (which my husband ate). I can say the shrimp salad was decent. I'm a seafood lover and this shrimp salad is only mediocre. The restrooms were not clean yet had a stench of some cleaning fluid. The only thing this place has going for it was the service. We had a great waitress-Stacey-who let us sit wherever we wanted. She promptly brought our drinks and took our order. When I had to return my 1st dish she was friendly and helpful. Thank you Stacey. She is the only reason this place gets even 1 star! Otherwise I would give 0! Avoid this place for safety reasons and try a place who's advertised food is exactly as stated. I don't recommend going to this restaurant.

if I could have given no stars I would, horrible service, my son and I had ordered chicken wings and fish tacos, first off, it took at least 45 min for our food to arrive at the table and when it did it was cold. food was horrible, cold, tasteless freezer-fried fish for tacos a lot of breading no fish, something you would expect from a corner sub shop, my son's wings were cold look like it needed more cooking, we did not finish our meal we left out of there. The restaurant staff itself was not welcoming or friendly... they will either have to change the cook hire and train staff or I know for a fact they ill go out of business....ill never go there again .my bill was $50.00 including tip....not worth it..

Today is Mother's Day so we decided to go there it was supposed to start at 12. They weren't ready. The the food wasn't hot. And not that good. Nothing in the buffet for kids. Ya know kids go out with moms on Mother's Day$35 a person not worth it
