We chose the Texas Roadhouse on Street Road to celebrate our belated 27th wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday today. We both decided to have the porterhouse steak because the reviews we read on the steaks were excellent, and we were sold. However our experiences differed greatly from the majority of the positive reviews we read. We were asked to pick the steaks we wanted at the display window which featured a wide range of steaks available for customers. Unfortunately the steaks on display looked dull and old, and we opted to choose from the menu provided by the restaurant. We were then seated at a table with no plates. We were given a basket of bread but had no plates to use to butter and eat the bread. Both the porterhouse steaks we ordered were big, tender, juicy, and cooked according to our specifications but the steaks had no flavor. They had no taste and it felt as if we were eating cardboard. We were only able to eat less than a third of the steaks because they were so bad. All we tasted was the flavor of the grill on the outer portion of the steak. Our pleasant server asked us if we want to take them home but we declined. We saw he felt bad about it, but I felt even worse because this is supposed to be our 27th wedding anniversary dinner, and my wife's birthday, but we left feeling hungry and upset that we drove all the way to Street Road to celebrate our special days, and I just wasted a total of $77.81 for tasteless meals. The baked sweet potato had no sweet potato flavor .In fact the taste was overwhelmed by the taste of the brown sugar it was swimming in. The house salad also didn't have much flavor and the ingredients were not fresh. However; the ambience and the service we received were fine thanks to the professionalism provided by the staff who attended to us, but the reason we chose to go to Texas Roadhouse was for the food that people raved about in their reviews. Our only positive experience in this entire episode was the positive and professionalism of the staff members.

We dinner here before a jazz concert at Glen Foerd Mansion. The Three Monkeys is located directly across James Street from the Torresdale Train station on the SEPTA Trenton Line. Funky cool old house with indoor andd outdoor seating. Parking in the adjacent Municipal lot. Our scallops were flavorful and large. They and asparagus we're served over ceramy risotto. Other specials featured various pastas. Our drinks and meals were quickly served by pleasant servers. Think Three Monkeys for that train trip to Torresdale.

My wife and I have been coming to the Madison Pub/Towne Tavern for about 7 years. This used to be our place, a cool local place that we could go for good drinks, service and food. We used to come frequently, anywhere from once to three times per month. It's a shame, we have seen the service deteriorate over the last few years and have been here only 3 times in the past 2 years and unfortunately I think our last visit will be our last unless some things change. This past time specifically we showed up and had a seat at the bar with another couple while we waited for a table to open up. We informed the bartender and the waitress that we were waiting for a table and they would find out if anyone else at the bar was waiting which nobody was. While we were waiting we ordered a drink, I ordered a beer and my wife asked for a Martini list. The bartender never came back to take my wife's drink order. As we sat one booth opened up and another booth asked for to-go containers as they were getting ready to leave, at which point another group entered the restaurant. They took the group that just walked in to the table that was opened and told us that we would have the other one when they left, okay we let that slide even know we were waiting as we were sitting talking and we figured we would have our table soon. My wife still didn't get to order a drink. We waited about an additional 20 minutes for the folks in the other booth to leave and them to clean the table for us. Meanwhile, we finally flagged down the bartender so my wife could order her drink...which never came even though we were sitting there for plenty of time.We sat at our table, they brought us menus and I ordered another beer as did my friend even though we were not asked for a drink order. Meanwhile my wife still doesn't have a drink, I walked up to the bar and told the bartender that she never got her drink she ordered when we were sitting there so he finally brought her a drink, this took about 45 minutes. In addition to all of this we ordered wings for an appetizer that we had to wait about a half hour for, only for them to forget and ask us what kind of wings we ordered again. My wife ordered a salad with the dressing on the side and the dressing wasn't on the side. We had to flag him down every time we wanted another drink and asked for water 3 times before getting any. Finally after dinner I ordered another drink and he never came back, finally after waiting about 10 minutes I flagged him down and asked for the check. Mind you, it is a small place that only seats 49 patrons according to the signage and every table as well as every seat at the bar was filled, so it was a busy night and from what I can see it was just one bartender and one waitress working, they were a bit overwhelmed and they were both polite and nice. With that being said, I wish I could say it was the first time that the service was this bad and it would have been nice to hear an "I'm sorry", "I forgot", "We're a little short staffed...", anything. I'm in Customer Service so I understand sometimes you do the best you can when you're short staffed but I've dealt with the bad service when there has been 10 people at most inside and I've dealt with rude service in the past.The food is really good and they have decent drinks but unfortunately that isn't enough. We live about 5 blocks away, we can walk but we would rather drive to Westmont and take the Septa over to Philadelphia at this point. It's really a shame because it used to be a gem and hopefully they get their act together, I'm just unsure if I'm willing to give them another chance as it is such a crapshoot.

This is the perfect place for a PHILLY meal. You canât beat the cheesesteaks, burgers, or beer. They also have complete dinner entrees. Large, very accommodating facility with direct views of the river. There are also plenty of large screen TVâs for watching the game.Plenty of parkingA little bit of a challenge for someone handicapped.Staff is friendly.Place is busy, they do accept reservations.

Stopped for breakfast after Easter Sunrise Service. The diner was not yet full yet the staff was overtaxed. They may have underestimated the impact of another local diner closing. That said the menu was extensive, the food was good and the price was reasonable. The servers were friendly even when hustling.

We went there for lunch in the middle of the week. The potstickers were fabulous and the wings were quite good. They were crispy, not dry, and most importantly not greasy. You would definitely feel out of place if you wore yoga pants for instance. It is expected that you dress "smarty casual" If you want to wear sweatpants, there's plenty of dives in the area to accommodate such attire. The crowd was higher-end and I felt quite comfortable. We will be adding this rare find to our dining rotation.

The food is exquisite, a little pricey, but worth it. Unfortunately, the last two times my husband and I went, wedding receptions were occupying the restaurant. We therefore went elsewhere. It seems to be a hit or miss situation. The pub adjoined to the restaurant is a good second try.
