Reviews for The Good King Tavern in Philadelphia, PA
The service was friendly, attentive and offered good suggestions. The drinks were delicious but the food was just okay. I... hadn't been to the Good King since before Covid and had remembered the food being so good and marking it as must go back nextI'm in Philly. This meal didn't leave me wanting to go back.

Stumbled across this neighborhood gem on my way back to my hotel. The staff was very friendly and time to educate me on milk... punch, and answered all my questions. The roasted radishes in burre blanc was a new, and delightful, experience. Read more
Fantastic! I loved the atmosphere…the wait staff was wonderful …the food knocked my socks off! Excellent French bistro food... that is hearty and comforting. We were not rushed…the wine selection was delicious. I’m actually going to try to contactthem today to find out what their playlist is because the music was paired perfectly! So good! I can’t say enough about thisplace! Go, just go! Read more
Tasty food, nice heated outdoor seating, friendly staff! Some unique food items in the menu. We and the kids especially enjoyed... the chickpea pancakes (Socca). The cocktails are also surprising, most have unusual ingredients in them. If you feel likeexperimenting, you should try one of their cocktails. Read more
So. Good. This is one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia. An eclectic cocktail list, a rotating duck special, tasteful... desserts. Bottom line, the entire menu is just... *chef’s kiss* Cannot recommend the duck specials enough! **UPDATE** Morethan a year later, TGKT doesn’t fail to dazzle. My partner and I just visited for outdoor dining and it was a phenomenal,comfortable, fantastic experience. Food is just as great as ever, and the cocktails may be even better than ever!! It’s worthnoting that we’ve also gotten their burgers for takeout numerous times now, and they’re absolutely amazing. One of my topburgers in Philly no question. Read more
Such great French ambiance. The meal by chef Steven and his staff couldn't be any better. Desserts and adult refreshments are... stupendous. Great camaraderie by all patrons with an outstanding staff that knows how to present and describe the food beingserved. Read more
Great outdoor seating on a nice quiet block. Cozy bar/dining room inside with a lovely crowd and friendly staff. The co-owner,... Chloe and the manager, Patrick greated us personally as of we were old friends and went above and beyond to create a trulywonderful dining experience. Yes, the food is very good and the cocktails on par, but what distinguishes a great restaurant likethis from the rest of the Philly gastropubs is their personal touch and commitment to service excellence. It's one of the fewplaces that seem to genuinely care about their customers and will do everything to make sure that you leave happy, full, and alittle tipsy. I highly recommend the Good King... Enjoy! Read more
Good ambience both inside and outside. But the food was sooo sooo salty! We were too nice but really should have sent our food... back given that we were paying almost $30 for the duck and the skatewing. Looking at previous reviews and it seems that othershave also complained about the saltiness of their food. Will definitely not be coming back Read more
