Wasn't sure where to go for dinner and asked the concierge at the hotel for suggestions . She said that a lot of folks make Bud & Marilyn's a part of their dinner plans while in the area so we gave them a try. We were curious about the prices when we arrived and they were posted outside and were reasonable for us. The service was great, never feeling like we had been forgotten. The food was super, exceeding our expectations. In hind sight, I wish I would have considered one of their premium sides or an appetizer.

No kidding - inedible food. I couldn't cut the rib meat with a knife. So my teeth had no chance. No table check, so no opportunity to give feedback .When your server clears you plate, and it's still full of food and they DONT ask if there was a problem, that tells me they know the food sucks

A few weeks back I stopped at their location in the Philadelphia airport and was extremely underwhelmed. Being that it was an airport location, I chalked the lackluster experience up to that. Oh how I wish that would've been the case. I've been back to Bud & Marilyn's a few times over the past several months. But always for a seat at the bar and maybe some cheese curds. This past weekend we had some friends in from out of town and I was talking up Bud & Marilyn's and their chicken. They trusted my input so in we went. There was no wait at all, half of the restaurant was empty as was the bar. We sat, and sat, and sat some more until ten minutes later our server came over. She was nice (very difficult to hear because she spoke so softly) but seemed to make up for the long wait. We ordered our cocktails which she brought back fairly quickly. It was around 12:00pm so they were on the brunch menu. We decided to share a few items. The cheese curds, warm pecan cinnamon roll, pork belly and the fried chicken bucket. We were asked if the food could come out as ready and we said that was perfect. What ever was easiest. About fifteen minutes later we were through our first round of drinks. Server gone, nowhere to be found (and it was still fairly empty). Another ten minutes and nothing. My wife commented the food was very slow too, I hadn't noticed since I was more concerned with my second drink. Finally the first two dishes came out from who I believe was the manager. The cheese curds and the warm pecan roll. We asked him if he could send our server over for another round, he said he would handle it and quickly came back with the drinks. The cheese curds were very good just as always, I didn't try the pecan roll but the rest of the group said it was good (very sweet though). Then out came the pork belly and the fried chicken. Both looked great, the pork belly was served over a bed of arugula, some slices of tomato with a toasted English muffin on then side. I cut a slice and was instantly disappointed, the menu mentioned it was topped with marmalade, but this thing was swimming in it. All of the tomatoes and arugula as well. Now the chicken, which let's be honest, this is what brought us here. It looked great (a little darker than normal but still good), served in the bucket with fries underneath. We took a piece of the breast, it was moist and crispy, but no flavor....like nothing. Maybe a one off because the breast meat was thick, so onto the thigh, the same. The wing, the same. The leg, the same. It almost begs the question if the chicken was seasoned at all. Major let down. When we were ready it took some time, we had only seen our sever once after placing our order so it wasn't a surprise by this point. The four top next to us were actively trying to track her down for quite some time as well. Although, surprisingly as soon as the table next to us got up, she was right there checking the tip. I would imagine she was just as responsive when we left.The chicken used to be phenomenal here, the service used to be phenomenal as well. Both are so far from that it's honestly sad. Their cheese curds are still great and the fries served with the chicken is great though.

The food was average. I wasn't really satisfied when I left the restaurant. The service was good and our waiter was attentive. The vibe of the restaurant was super chill and the tiny decors in the room were also a nice touch. Nashville Hot Buns: it wasn't too spicy. Not really a lot of flavor. 3/5Shortrib stroganoff: The braised Shortrib and sherried mushrooms in the pasta were yummy. The pasta itself was salty. I personally would not get this again 2/5 Side of mashed potatoes: out of everything I ate here, I personally think the mashed potatoes were the best. It was flavorful and creamy. Probably the BEST mashed potatoes I ever had. I want the recipe for next thanksgiving lol 5/5 Side of warm buttermilk biscuits: the biscuits were decent. The texture was like cornbread (but without the corn ahaha) 3/5 Nonalcoholic drink (wile e coyote): drink was filled with strawberry, lemon, and ginger ale. It was a decent drink, but I felt like the flavors didn't really mix together. 3/5

I dined at Bud & Marilyn's in Philadelphia few times and had a mixed experience. The food was undeniably delicious, with the fried chicken being particularly outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. There was mold on the caps of the tap water bottles, sticky tables, and garbage cans placed right by the entry, which was off-putting.While the culinary experience was enjoyable, the overall ambiance and cleanliness need significant improvement. If these issues are addressed, Bud & Marilyn's could easily become my top dining destination in Philadelphia.

This resturant definitely seems like a busy go-to for many folks in Philly. When arriving, we did not realize what "sips" are and they had that option of dining along with normal dinner dining. We chose the dinner dining since sips dining had a 45 minute wait. We got the shareable buns and MY GOODNESS were they good, we ordered 3 servings of them lol. We also ordered their kimchi fried rice but I'd definitely skip that or remove that from the menu, something about that did not taste great. Drinks were good and server was really kind . Prolly would be back to actually try the "sips" menu

The steak tartar was great. However two fried chicken dinners at $25 per half a chicken, from a place where everyone was raving about their chicken and both were over cooked and super dry. Was it an off night? Presentation great but the fried chicken was dry inside. $75 dinner is a huge bummer when both entrees of fried chicken are super dry.

Enjoyed this restaurant! Started with cheese curds for the table which we all enjoyed. And then the whole table ordered the crab + corn pappardelle which was great! We shared the funfetti cake as well, the cake was a little but the frosting made up for it. Overall very happy with the meal!

Hidden gem right in the middle of Philadelphia!After finding the restaurant (it's on the corner, just a bit hard to find), the vibe hit me at once. It was filled with memorabilia you would remember from your family, scattered around in plain sight with a cozy restaurant ambiance. The staff were so friendly with so many insights on the food (our waitress was excited we asked ... it was very cute) Food was delicious and not overpriced for what you were getting, which is a change from a lot of the restaurants around. Homestyle meals from your Sunday night dinners growing up ... including the biscuits! Some of the best biscuits I've ever had. Kids kept talking and I kept fading out from the deliciousness. Please try this restaurant out, it's going to be a new tradition for us in the next trip to Philly, and I think it might be for you too!

Came here for dinner before seeing a show at the Kimmel. Great service and tasty food! The restaurant is very dark and moody. My parents needed a flashlight to read the menu.We ordered the crispy cheese curds to share. 10/10! Super light, crispy and easy to eat a ton. For entrees, we ordered Marilyn's fried chicken, seared verlasso salmon and short rib stroganoff. I'd honestly recommend them all, but my favorite was the stroganoff!At the end, we all shared one order of the pumpkin cheesecake which was decadent and sweet.Great restaurant and a place I would definitely return to!
