We took a ride over here while visiting Philadelphia on vacation and because we had a Restaurant.com gift certificate. We got there around 9:30pm and were told that the grill was off but the fryer was still going. By 9:30 at night, this place was mostly for the people at the bar. the music was LOUD, even in the back where we were sitting. Service was good, attentive, quick with refills. Ordered:~ Chicken fingers - 5 fingers came with honey mustard. Standard, nothing special~ French Onion Soup - onions weren't cooked down enough, too much "bite" to them. Broth was not very flavorful. One of the worst french onion soups I've ever had.~ Cheesesteak spring rolls- OMG, YUM. Could have consumed a gazillion of these bad boys (we asked for some cheez-wiz on the side for dipping= awesome). Probably doubtful that these are actual made there, but if they are, BRAVO.~ Sweet potato fries- mushy and not crispy in the slightest. Left uneaten.

Stopped by because I knew the history of the place. It was very nice inside. The waitress was very nice and very friendly. The food was very good, all the way around I was impressed.
