Reviews for Relish in Philadelphia, PA
The atmosphere is full of love and great people. The food was delicious. I got turkey wings which we cooked and seasoned... perfectly. The open mic was full of talented people and the house band was great, with real musicians that seem to know how toplay anything. Note: The person next to me at another table said her cornbread was overcooked. She couldn't even cut it. Read more
Went for my anniversary last night and when I tell you that sh*t was LIT. We had reservations away from the jazz but we ended... up getting seated with the live entertainment. And when I tell you they put on a SHOW! Our waiter was extremely helpful, wasdisappointed my partner couldn’t get the steak but she ended up getting the fried fish and I went with the chicken and shrimpAlfredo. The mac and cheese just kept getting better as we kept eating. The only cons were they were out of steak (ourreservation was for 9:30pm still not acceptable lol) and we couldn’t substitute sides but our waiter threw us a some sides onthe house. Overall I give it an 8.5/10 only because they were out of steak and where we ate near the bar where they play themusic the house band had a fan club line dancing going crazy sometimes getting too close for comfort. If it wasn’t so lit andI didn’t feel like I was at a family reunion I can see how it can bother OTHERS but not me. Food on point, vibes were nice fora Saturday night, food was reasonably priced. Plus it was filled with beautiful black art all Over the walls. Definitely comingback to check my folks out again Read more
The food here was AMAZING!!! Great soul food, great live music, great service from the employees. I got the hot honey fried... chicken with the cabbage and greens mix and the mashed potatoes. It was very tasty, and that’s coming from a southern woman. Ialso had the Ciroc punch and that was very tasty as well. Lastly, I had the brownie for dessert and tried my friends strawberryshortcake. Both desserts were very tasty as well. I recommend this place to everyone now. You will have to make a reservation tobe safe, but the experience was 100% worth it!!! The service was great and the experience was amazing!! Read more
The place is nice, staff was friendly, live jazz band after 7, and the food was delicious. The only thing I didn't agree with is... that they don't allow substitutions, if you wanted a different side than what was assigned to the dish, it was extra which is abit unfair not knowing if a person may allergic or just simply doesn't like that specific side. Otherwise, food was very, verygood. Read more
I use to go to relish lots of times.Today I went with my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day the scenery was great as usual the band... was nice but my food took almost 2 hours to come and when it did it was not all good the Mac is usually my favorite or the pastabut it smelled like spoiled milk and the pasta lacked flavor. My mom ordered the catfish where she didn’t even get to chooseher sides when it came it was raw the rice had no flavor the green beans were burned I usually expect good from this place buttoday I was disappointed Read more
The food here is always on point. To me, today's temperature for the mac n cheese could have been hotter, but it was perfect to... my friend. The corn bread, a crowd favorite, was stellar as usual. Everyone loved their food: Braised beef short rib (soincredibly tender), hot honey fried chicken, and the turkey wings. It was our friend's first time and she will be back. Read more
I loved it, so sorry I can't remember names. I booked with a nice young man for my birthday. I went in at 8pm on a Sunday and... everything was great. I ordered the seafood mac and cheese as well as the catfish meal. It came with catfish, green beans andjambalaya rice. The drinks are GREAT nothing was watered down Read more
I would put Relish into the group as being one of the best soul food spots in Philadelphia. The Hot honey fried chicken with... greens and smashed potatoes were delicious. The greens had turkey meat in them and were not overly seasoned. The "smashed"potatoes were good. The chicken was just so juicy and tender and not dried out. The Hennessey Sangria was delicious along withthe mango pineapple bread pudding. I thoroughly enjoyed the live band that entertained us with real music. The service coulduse more hands to allow more attention to tables and not hailing them down when you needed something. There are no substitutionsas well but I'm not sure if they can exclude shrimp from a dish. In all I had a great time and will be returning to try otheritems. Read more
