Pleasure Platters

Alright, let's take a trip to get the lowdown on Pleasure Platters, a seafood spot on the north side of Philly! I've been following them on social media for some time. I had really high hopes because all of the reviews were so great but since I'm rarely on this side of the city, it took a while for me to check them out. Is it worth the hype or not? I got my chance to taste and see. Please keep in mind this is based on my and my mom's taste buds. You may love it. First off, let's talk vibes. Pleasure Platters is a neighborhood joint. It is not a hang-out spot, you will not take your boo for a fancy dinner. However, they do have an option for a date night meal, if you are looking for something to have a nice night in for two. The fact that they've upgraded from someone's kitchen to an actual building is a solid flex though, gotta give 'em props for that. Mother in the front was nice. She did her best to take care of everyone. The staff was also nice. They get a plus for that. Especially since, some brown family businesses get bad rep for bad customer service. I can say nothing but good things about the customer service! Now, onto the main event: the food. We snagged ourselves a crab leg platter, and let's just say it didn't exactly set our taste buds on fire. Based on everything I saw on social media I was expecting more. It's like, you take a bite expecting fireworks, but all you get is a sparkler on a rainy day. It was ok but it didn't make us do that oohweee dance. You know...the one you get when you take a bite of granny's cornbread, mac n cheese with aunty's collards! Yeah, that dance. But hold up, wait a minute, there was something that had some yummy in it! There's a shining star and it goes by the name of seafood slaw. Seriously, Mom got some crackers and went to town.So, in conclusion, we will travel for food but Mom and I would not trek back over there just to get a platter, however, we might get some of that seafood slaw if we happen to be in the area.

2nd time patronizing this store for some reason it did not taste the same , I bought the clam chowder this time , kind of disappointed , it didn't really taste that great , too thick and not seasoned good , but I always enjoy the pita bread that comes with it . The colossal shrimp are so good and the veggies are done right , not soggy but the sauce tasted , like tomatoes to me , was not a old bay seafood type of buttery goodness this time . They messed my order up this time and forgot items I had paid for , didn't realize till I received it at home , they did give me a refund , store is small only at the window with stools type seating . . Otherwise it's a good reasonable place to grab seafood and the quality is awesome

I drive a hour to get a platter and I'm Not a fan. The flavor was Not hitting. I would not recommend. I will give them a 3 out of 5.

This was my second time ordering from Pleasure Platters and they did not disappoint. The crab legs were very clean, flavorful and plump and juicy. The shrimp were HUGE and piping hot. Go get you some...

A friend recommended Pleasures Platters to me. I stopped in this weekend and ordered a Large Seaslaw and Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo. The Seaslaw was incredible. I ate the entire container on the ride home. The Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo was delicious as well. It was packed with well seasoned Colossal shrimp and grilled chicken breast.I recommend you order in advance. My order took sometime to prepare but worth the wait. I'll definitely be back!

Go and get your pleasure platter today. There is nothing like it around. Perfection! Excellent customer service. Well worth it. Gigantic seafood. Flavors galore.

OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS THE BEST SEAFOOD I'VE EVER HAD. I live in Los Angeles, but visiting family in Philadelphia. These are the best crabs I've ever had. The serving size is so generous. The sauce and flavor are amazing. Please check them out, you won't be disappointed.
