Darling Jack's Tavern

I recently stopped into Darling Jack's for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and the experience was great. My friend had suggested it based on her own previous experiences there and I'm so happy she did.Darling Jack's Tavern, to me, doesn't seem much like a tavern, but more like a former luncheonette turned fine dining spot. The place is a little dark inside, but tastefully decorated and elegant.Since it was such a beautiful day outside, we pretty much had the smallish interior to ourselves. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and our equally amiable server came over straight away to help us get settled in. Upon our request for suggestions, he was quick to point out that their pizzas were excellent. So, my dining partner ordered the roasted squash and gorgonzola pie and I opted for the chicken schnitzel 'Caesar,' which was full of wonderful flavors. The pizza, which I sampled, as well, was just as delicious.As a Philly newbie, I'm always looking for nice restaurants to bring out of town guests, and I've most certainly found one in Darling Jack's. Highly recommended!

This place really doesn't miss. This wasn't my first time coming, and I'm sad that it took me a while to come back. I forgot how good this place is. I brought some friend here this time around, and they loved it.They loved the ambiance, the food, and the service, lol, as did I. When you walk in, you feel like you're in a classy speakeasy. The people here are pretty nice. I recommend you make reservations if you're coming for brunch on the weekend. That's what I did, and it worked out perfectly. The service was great. Just be aware that if you're someone who like to really customize their dish, there are some things that they won't accommodate here like a half-order of pancakes. Other than that, we all destroyed our food. I had the crispy chicken bowl, and it was delicious. We all had something different and all raved about it. Come check this place out!

Came to Darling Jacks Tavern because we heard rave reviews about the happy hour and specifically the tavern pizza! Everything was very tasty! I definitely will be back just for the espresso martini, the delicious French onion soup as well as the pizza! Drinks:~ Espresso Martini (top notch!) Appetizers:~ French Onion Soup (amazing) ~ Focaccia Bread with Whipped Brie ~ Tavern Cheese Pizza (love a good bar pie)Entrees: ~ Shrimp Scampi

First off the restaurant is such a vibe. Sexy , romantic. I had a little solo celebratory dinner and Imglad I chose this place. Tyria is such a sweet and beautiful spirit. Shes so nice. Seated me right away. Love front of the house staff who are professional and polite as she is. Eddie my waiter, love him!! his energy. He was knowledgeable about the menu, and helped me with my choice. His infectious energy made me have a great meal. The whole restaurant looked like they had a great time. I can't wait to come back when im in town and tell my friends . Thank yall

Though I've visited the other Safran Tourney restaurants in town, including Barbuzzo (next door), this one flew under my radar. Happy I took the chance and checked them out this summer! It has a similarly classic, low-lit, intimate, mellow vibe as the other Safran Tourney restaurants. Unlike the others, this one is open during the day--great if you want lunch, or simply to avoid the dinner time crowds. Service was prompt and attentive, even when it was busy.I ordered the crispy fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was a filling, perfectly fried and seasoned portion of fish on a delicious bun. The pickled carrots made for a tasty alternative to lettuce.

This is the best damn Lemon Drop I ever had. Clifton will take great care of you. I kept it light with the Crispy Calamari and it was quite good. Not overbreaded or overgreased. Nice aioli but did not need it. But dayum, this drink made my night.... Ambience is very intimate inside but such a nice night I sat outside. When in Philly, this is a definite recommend.

I was in Philly from out of town (Dallas) for a concert two weeks ago and was running late to get to a concert. I found out about Darling Jack's through Yelp and decided to stop in before heading the concert at the Fillmore. I sat at the bar and I'm happy that the bartender and DJT got me in and out of dinner fast! Like within 45 minutes!I had the burger, which was excellent, and a great old fashioned. I could tell that the pickles on the burger were made in house, which was a nice touch. The burger was cooked to perfection. No notes. The service from the bartender was very efficient. I'm sure I seemed strange, simply because I was in a race against time. The ambiance was very cool and seems like a great spot for a good meal or cocktail, for a date or for a night out with friends. I highly recommend Darling Jack's Tavern (love the name by the way).

Everything we had here was absolutely phenomenal! All of their pizza's were delicious. We loved their drinks & their appetizers like the Brussel sprouts & the watermelon salad were so tasty! Loved the ambience of this place - Definitely will be returning on my next trip to Philly!

We came for Father's Day brunch with reservations and were surprised to see only two other tables filled at 10:30. We were greeted kindly by every worker we saw as we were taken back to our seats. There are two rooms connected by the kitchen/bar areas. The interior is designed nicely and looks like they can fit a decent amount of people inside! We started off with putting two orders of the milkbuns in. It seems as though the flavor of this changes frequently there. The texture was delicious, very light, fluffy, and buttery. The taste was okay by me, a little salty with the salted caramel and pistachios, but the majority of the table really enjoyed eating them. I had the chicken and waffles (You can ask for the egg on the side because it will come on top if not). This was so so good! I judge chicken and waffles at brunch pretty tough and was really impressed with them. I also had a mimosa which was really refreshing. The other members of my party had the 2-1-5, the pancakes, and the tavern dip sandwich. They all loved their food as well. They box your leftovers for you and give adorable bags with them.

After a long day of standing at the APSA conference in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, I needed a hearty dinner before recuperating for the next day. I searched yelp and found Darling Jack's tavern. Since I went to this conference solo, I dined alone as well.I was seated at the Chef's table where I had a great view of all the chefs preparing awe-inspiring dishes while I waited. Thankfully, my server came quickly and he was very friendly. I ordered the bar-bite sized whipped feta, and the lamb skewers as a main dish. The whipped feta came out first with two buttery pieces of sourdough toast. But, I waited until the lamb skewers arrived too, so I could combine the two dishes. The marrying of these two plates was divine.I accompanied my meal with a glass of Malbec. The total cost of this meal was just what o was expecting. Thus, the food, the service, and the cost was spot on and satisfactory please arrive to darling jack's hungry and leave happy.
