Reviews for Bud & Marilyn's in Philadelphia, PA
I usually love dining here but this weekend was a bit disappointing. The restaurant was warm and I couldn’t drink my hot... coffee. Keep in mind, I was sitting in the center of the restaurant, not that close to the kitchen. The cinnamon roll did nottaste fresh and was hard on the outer layer. The chicken sandwich was good but the fries were not crispy. Some of them werefloppy and filled with grease. Seemed like they sat for a while. The chicken and waffles were good. The shrimp in the shrimpBenedict were perfectly cooked but the sautéed greens were too salty. Shakshuka was okay. The waitress was slow not veryattentive. We had to ask for water refills multiple times. Also, one of the servers tried to take a plate that still had food onit. I’ll probably still come back because I know the potential but I was very disappointed by this last experience. Read more
My first time at Bud and Marilyn’s and I loved it. I definitely think this place is worth the hype. Service was quick and... friendly, despite the place being packed. Our food and drinks came out surprisingly quick for how busy the restaurant was.Definitely a well oiled machine here. The ambience is cozy, and we loved the little corner alcove we were seated in by thewindow! Will definitely come back another time to try more menu items. The hot chicken bun was super spicy though - be warned! Read more
Not sure how I feel about this restaurant. The vibe here reminds me of 70s punk rock. I thought the menu was very small but... everything was executed nicely. We started with the pork lettuce wraps and cheese curds. Both were good. My mother in lawordered the rigatoni pasta and carrot salad which she said was delicious. My daughter really enjoyed her fried chicken whichwas perfectly cooked and came with 2 scratch made biscuits. My hanger steak was cooked at the desired temperature and verytasty. Food was good, staff is friendly but nothing stood out to make me want to go back. Read more
Dark but cozy atmosphere. Very nice place to bring a date. The sirloin steak was perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful and sliced... for you. The Marilyn fried chicken was also very good. Cocktail drinks were spot on. The staff was very friendly. We had agreat dinner experience on a rainy Friday night. Read more
A very cozy, intimate vibe inside! The biscuits that came with the chicken and biscuits were HEAVENLY and the salted honey... butter was absolutely incredible. The bratwurst buns were also quite tasty. This place isn’t cheap, but the serving sizes areexcellent and we had a great experience. We made a reservation on a Saturday night (good thing we did, it was crowded) Read more
Grabbed a quick late night reservation after realizing the place we intended to eat was no longer serving food at 9:30pm.... Service was good, the decor is cute. I had a chicken sausage pasta that the server highly recommended. It was good but Iwasn’t super impressed. The Nashville chicken sliders were amazing though!! So many textures and flavors! The chicken wascrispy, the brioche perfectly toasted, the slaw pickled to perfection. Read more
First time here. Sat down quickly at the bar on a Sunday for brunch. Our waitress, Flanders, was very warm, friendly, and... welcoming. Ordered the Shrimp Benedict, which honestl, was amazing. Home fries were extraordinary crispy which I loved. Flavorwas great, shrink grilled perfect. Highly recommend. Great experience. Read more
It was pretty crowded when we went and the service was slow. Our plates came out very sporadically and the water refills were... space. The compound butter on the French toast was cold and made the French toast soggy, but the toast itself had good flavor.The biscuits and gravy also tasted pretty good. The accompanying potatoes didn't have enough flavor and didn't have the righttexture for me. Cinnamon roll was good (I'd give it a 4 out of 5) and all the drinks were good. Cheese curds were a greatappetizer and had nice sauce on the side. Overall, I wish I could give them a 3.5 star rating. Read more
