National Mechanics

My fiance, my buddy, and I all went for brunch a few weeks ago. They have some interesting decor with some old school features along with some other interesting decorations included. Service was very good. My buddy got a bloody mary with Titos and a salted rim and I got their house bloody. Both were good but next time, with the prices being the same, I'd probably do the Titos with the salted rim too.To eat, my fiance got the carne asada fries with a lavender mimosa and I got the basic breakfast platter. My buddy got the cobb salad. The carne asada fries easily stole the show and I highly recommend them.Prices were good and overall a good experience. It's within walking distance of a few of the historic sites too.

Really fun place in historic district. Architecture is cool and location was great! The nachos were yummy, they had drink specials, and also had different entertainment depending on the night. Bar service was really nice and gave info on the building. They also told us about a ghost tour and dancing. Would go again and went twice while there.

This was a fun quirky find as we were dodging the rain leaving the Museum of the American Revolution. It was a great stop for lunch. The food was good, and the staff were very friendly. I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was a good fit for that cold wet day.I think it's really more of a bar scene so it's probably a whole different vibe at night.

Really interesting space and fun bathrooms. Of course food was excellent. I had a roast pork sandwich which was the best thing I ate in Philly during the week. Our waiter was patient and super nice with us. Loved this place!

We attempted to visit yesterday, but an event had the whole restaurant so we returned today to try out their food/drinks. We made a reservation online and we found they even put a reserved plaque on a table for us. The food is good, the server was friendly, and the atmosphere is a standard bar with some food. I'm not a drinker so bars even with food aren't always my first choice. They did have decent Happy Hour options (M-F from 5-7pm). I really enjoyed the chicken and cheese quesadilla. It was surprisingly yummy. The chicken bites and fries were pretty good also. It was loud for my taste, but it is a social gathering place so I understand I'm the minority on that. haha It would be nice to hear the other people at my table though. Overall we enjoyed our visit. Thanks!

Came here after seeing a play... Made reservations in advance - we arrived early and were seated immediately. The feel of the place is a little eclectic and divey - I saw a brass shoe/boot on the entrance of the restaurant and some of the windows have stained glass designs.Regarding service, our waitress seemed a tad rushed but she was attentive... I ordered the Ribeye cheesesteak, my friend ordered the shrimp and fries and we split an order of honey garlic wings. Everything that I ate - I tasted everything except the fries - was really good. The food was well seasoned and the shrimp, cheesesteak and chicken was cooked perfectly and was very tender. I did have a side salad with my cheesesteak instead of fries - I was a little shocked by the way the salad looked (I thought maybe it would be a mixed field greens salad but it was iceberg lettuce with diced tomato and thinly sliced onion) - it wasn't bad, just wasn't what I imagined it would be. Overall we had a good experience; if I'm in the area again and looking for something quick and good, I'd definitely return.

I'm sitting in a historic building, built in 1837, drinking a Bloody Mary with a huge smile on my face. Mike ordered an Italian Roast Pork sandwich with spinach, garlic and provolone cheese. I ordered the Poutine - French Fries with cheese curds and extra gravy. See photo attached. I know, right?Service is seriously experienced. 5 stars!

Super good food! Came here while visiting w my family and got the mexican burger, it was amazing! Not very spicy but I added hot sauce of course, had a whole variety to choose from. My cousin got the nachos and they were huge! super tasty and filling. Great cocktails as well. Service was great, just two people but they handled it well. Good spot to check out!

Went for karaoke but got so much more. Very spacious and set up well for karaoke. Like it was a good crowd but it was night to not feel like sardines. Service was pretty good considering how busy it was. Server definitely acknowledged how busy they were and thanked us for our patience- although once they caught up it was fine. I think they were just feeling frazzled. So good karaoke. Great crowd.Here's what I did not expect- the food was really really good. Like really good. It's wasn't anything out of the ordinary for a bar but it was just done really well.

I have to start by raving about the desserts; the chocolate cake is decadent, and the bread pudding so luscious! We split a huge Italian roasted pork sandwich with fries, which was plenty of food. My husband enjoyed an unfamiliar IPA, and we finished off with their great buckets of coffee! Service was attentive, and the jazz music created a wonderfully relaxing ambiance.
