Cool dive bar in Fishtown! (Guy Fieri where you at?!??!) Interstate Drafthouse is cozy in size but the drinks and food pack a punch of booze and flavor. Their play on the Long Island Ice Tea is fun, served in an ice tea carton and renamed the Fishtown Iced tea. The food is elevated from your usual bar food. During my visit I tasted both the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and the burger with tots. The grilled chicken sandwich was my fave, served on ciabatta with cheese, chipotle aioli, bacon, onions and avocado - an absolute perfect bite. The burger featured a cherry pepper that sort of reminded me of a cheesesteak, but better. Can't wait to try brunch!

What an unexpected find for Ethiopian! We've been wanting to try this place out for some time and we finally got around to it for a Friday date night. The place is fairly easy to find, and for us - it was just a short walk over!They had their outdoor seating set up, and the weather was perfect for some al fresco dining. They have a good list of beers (bottles and drafts) along with some pretty decent vegetarian options. We chose to go with the vegetarian platter that came with a little bit of every item of the veggie options. For two of us, the portion was HUGE! It was definitely lunch the next day! The food was well seasoned and came out pretty quickly. I liked eating with my hands and trying different combinations to keep my tastebuds guessing. Our waitress so nice and provided lots of input on the dishes to help us make our decisions and she checked on us plenty. Definitely a culinary adventure all right in our own back yard - enjoy your time!

So first off, kudos for actually respecting my "no utensils" request. Half the time when I call to place a takeout order from a local restaurant I forget to say "no utensils please" but the other half the time, my request is almost always ignored. But at Dahlkak they will respect your requests, so I had to give them a star just for that!As far as the local Ethiopian dining options, however, while I got good vibes from the service, the food was relatively unexceptional. A few items of note: the injera was probably thinner than any I've had, and had a more delicate flavor. The sambusas were REALLY good, a total vegetarian flavor party in a packet of fried dough. But the vegetarian combo entree was kind of a disappointment. Gomen wot is usually my favorite Ethiopian dish, but these greens were nothing to write home about. The spicy lentils of the yemisir wot were probably the best of the three options, a faint smoky flavor suggested paprika, but the shiro wot (pureed chickpeas) were completely bland. For the price the portion was also a lot less than I expected- it came with three sheets of injera, but relatively small scoops of the vegetables. I would consider coming back for a happy hour drink (if that ever becomes a thing for me again) and a sambusa, but for dinner I know to stick with my tried and true.

This place has mixed reviews but for me and a friend, it was a good hangout place. We just chatted and I had just come from a big banquet. Plus the kitchen was closed anyway and I only had water which surprised him. He shouldn't have been surprised as be knew where I'd beforehand. He had wine and said everywhere else he goes, a glass is at least $8-12. An older crowd was here. Maybe because it was a Mon night. The Eagles were playing but it wasn't packed but it was a good crowd. Apparently this is a college student joint too but on this day it wasn't. The pepperoni pizza looks decent if I am around when the kitchen is open.Added 11/17/22:Also, thank you for being open so late when most other good places closed in the general area!#ThankYouThursday

The food was good, but service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived our menus weren't ready. There were no utensils and no glasses on the table. Had to flag down the waitress a couple times. Attentiveness is key for wait staff, and I know myself and the person I came here with felt we were forgotten. There also seemed to be confusion when we asked the waitress for things, almost like she didn't quite understand why we were asking. That would be my only criticism. The waitress we had could clearly have used some further training. It seemed like she was unaccustomed to typical procedures.
