Diner Reviews

"We enjoyed our visit to Bridget Foy's. All seven of us got different items and six of us were pleased with what we got. My brother's caesar salad came unchopped, just a head of lettuce, but we're not sure whether or not it said on the menu that it would come this way. Other than that, a great experience."

"Ordered the chicken salad. Came in a huge bowl loaded w/greens & a few colorful items $12 After eating a few forkfuls of only greens, realized I never tasted chicken Took entire bowl apart, saw 2 pieces of chicken the size of a dime at the bottom of the bowl Called the waiter over, he ran to the kitchen & got me a little plate of chicken pieces...really tasteless & overcooked. A few weeks ago, under duress, had the salad at McDonalds..half the price, surprisingly, very tasty w/ranch dressing...really underestimated their chicken salad. Not sure I would go back again. Was this an accident, or trying to get one over on the ladies who lunch, that are not part of the young crowd."

"Special thanks to a great waitress! Caroline helped make it nice experience! The selection for brunch was really good and hard a hard time picking! The egg white omelette I had was full and flavorful! Definitely will go back to try more on the.menu."

"We had a party of 12, with ages ranging from 4-65. Everyone had a great time and the menu accommodated food options for the kids. We started dining outside, but the kids quickly became restless. We asked if it was possible to move our party inside and the staff gladly made this request happen. Overall, wonderful experience on a Sunday, during brunch hours."

"We went for lunch 3 weeks ago because our son lives in South Philly and picked it. My husband enjoyed it so much he wanted to go back for Father's Day. The ceasar sald with steak was delicious! My husband loved the burger and desserts are to die for! A must try!!!"

"The food was good. The ambience was nice. Outdoor seating great. Now for the bad... The service was extremely slow. The food came out in a fair amount of time but it was rare to see our waiter after that. We ate our whole meal without being checked on, (wanted to ask for salt and pepper but couldn't get attention) and then waited around for another 20 minutes before seeing him to ask for coffee....then another 30 minutes to get the check."

"This is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. They're always changing the menu, which is great, until they get rid of one of my favorites. This evening I had two new favorites, The chicken & tortilla soup appetizer and the mushroom enchilada. The soup is to die for. I could eat it every day, the enchilada was very decadent and rich. Served in a cast iron skillet, it's oozing with cheeses and loaded with shiitake mushrooms and other wonderful surprises. Very filling and delicious. As always the service was wonderful and there's great people watching from the outdoor seats on their very large, new orleans style veranda."

"I was with a group of 5 for Mother's Day brunch. Our waiter was very nice but service was kind of slow. It didn't seem insanely busy (although I had no idea what was happening upstairs), so it was just kind of weird that it was slow. That being said, everyone really enjoyed their food and I'd go back again to see if this service experience was just a fluke."

"we could not decide on a meal so we ordered all appetizers and It was amazing. Also the services is friendly helpful and attentive. Nothing beats great service and the decor was also very nice. I have been recommending this place to everyone who love to try new places in the city"

"Not only is this restaurant close to TLA but the food is very good. Glad we found it for some good food before the show."

"Had a great time at Bridget Foy's at an early dinner with a friend. We sat outside and because the restaurant is on South Street, it can get a little noisy, but we didn't mind and it was actually really fun to see the activity and passersby. I really love the creative and fun food. If I could, I would have ordered one of everything just to try it. We had some great food, great drinks, and a wonderful, attentive waitress. "

"Awesome restaurant with something for everyone! Pretty big space for the area, eclectic from the walls to the dessert menu to the artwork you definitely won't be bored! The food is amazing- we sampled a lot- crabbie fries, flatbread, linguine, steak and apple pie- all out of this world! Definitely recommend!"

"Our visit to Bridget Foy's on Easter Sunday was perfect. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and efficient. I liked the "pace" of the restaurant. Especially on holidays I usually feel like there is a lot of pressure on the workers to hurry and get people served, give them the bill, and out the door so that another party can be seated. I usually get the feeling that the most important thing is to shove people in and out to make as much money as possible. I did not get that feeling at Bridget Foy's at all. It was relaxing, quiet and I did not feel rushed. Thank you!!"

"Great food and service plus the best seats for the Easter festivities on South Street. Also a great stop before seeing a concert at the TLA."

"We participate in the Philly T-giving parade every year & have a tradition of eating out the night before. Bridget Foy's was fabulous! The food was outstanding. Tgiving spring roll was fabulous - stuffing, turkey & cranberry sauce in a wrapper then gravy as dipping sauce. Seasonal Sangria hit the spot and the boys loved their pot pies. The view finder to see the desserts was a fun touch. Will definitely be returning."

"I received an email offering a discount if I had my birthday lunch at Bridget Foy's. We took advantage of the offer an enjoyed a pleasant time with good food & drinks. Our waitress was attentive & responsive. We were also surprised by the hospitality of the owner, Bridget who shared a few minutes of her busy day. We were quite pleased with everything that day & will be back soon."

"The service was awesome, out waitress was very attentive and pleasant. Our food was prepared as requested and served timely. I would recommend this restaurant for foodies and those looking to enjoy outside dining in nan energetic environment ( restaurant sits along South Street). Parking may be a challenge but usually the later you done, the easier street parking becomes."

"My friend and I went for lunch. It was not that busy and our server let us know he was new. You would not have known he was knew by how good he did. The food came out fast and hot. My friend had the chicken tortilla soup to start where as I had the beef barley. Both were delicious. Than she had honey chipotle wings and I have the cheesteak croquettes. Both of those were wonderful and flavorful. Than we had dessert. They brought out a little camera that you look into to see what the desserts look like. We decided to share the s'mores. It was a perfect size and hit the spot, so delectable. I would recommend this place to anyone. Its fun, the food is delicious, the service is great. I will be going back again and again."

"I hesitate to call it a stand-by because that makes it sound a little worn. Bridget Foy's is a great place and yet it always fits the bill. It is a guaranteed good meal. The service is good; the food is tasty and warm and interesting. The ambience is warm and energetic, but one never has to shout to be heard. Frankly, I'm not sure how they do it so well all the time. It is just a fun and rewarding place to go."

"Bridget Foy's is a neighborhood restaurant that has been in the same location for quite a while. Bar is always crowded, mainly with locals. The owners are usually around and are always friendly making the place homey and inviting. We have visited the restaurant often. From early mornings on weekends for brunch to special days like New Year's eve, Valentine's and Mardi Gras. Food has been consistently good and prices reasonable. Seating has not been ever a problem, but reservations are recommended, especially during Holidays. On New Year's eve the place was mobbed but the crowd was pleasant, the place was performing smoothly, and our reservation was honored on time. Try the meatloaf, the mac and cheese (for real!), and all desserts!!!"

"My friend and I went in for the Fat Tuesday specials. I'd never been there before. I wouldn't say anything was fantastic, but it was good. The $5 Hurricanes on special weren't very strong, but were ok for $5. And the food is basic American bar food. If a friend was going out in that area and wanted something decent but inexpensive, I'd recommend this place."

"We went to Bridget Foys for a night out with good friends and were delighted with the food from appetizers to dessert. The mac and cheese fritters and mushroom flatbread were excellent and came out quickly, fresh and hot. Our dinners were also excellent - lamb shanks with mushroom risotto was out of this world good as was the lobster ravioli, and the beef short rib tacos. The desserts were also good, but not to the level of the dinners. All in all, fantastic meal and definitely planning on going back."

"Bridget Foy's is one of the best restaurant's I've been too...and I've been to many. The service, the atmosphere, the food...just simply amazing! While it may sound weird, you must try the mac-n-cheese topped with potato chips. It's to die for. Each time my colleagues and I go to Philadelphia for training at Society Hill, we attend this restaurant at least 3-times within that week. And then go back and brag about our experience to the class. Bottom line, if you are in Philly, skip the cheese steaks and go to Bridget Foy's...she'll treat you right!"

"we went on a Sunday night, place was packed. The bartender/server was very attentive even though the bar and tables he served were full. They could have used another server. The sandwiches were very good."

"A friend and I took our other friend out for their birthday to Bridget Foy's. None of us had been there before, but we found it online and thought it looked perfect. They even had a gluten-free menu for my friend who has dietary restrictions. As soon as the three of us walked in we said how perfect it was. The music, which was really awesome, was not overpowering and loud, but still perfectly audible. The other patrons were not obnoxiously loud either. Our waiter was funny and seemed like he liked being there. We kept saying that there had to be something wrong because this place was too perfect. Then the food came out-and it too was awesome. We really enjoyed Bridget Foy's and fully intend to come back."

"Briget Foy's is probably my favorite restaurant in the city, and they have the best veggie burger I've had in my entire life. All the food I've had there has always been delicious. Additionally the prices are unbelievable for the quality of the food you receive. Briget Foy's could easily get away with hiking their prices up because of its great location on South Street, but they do not."

"We're regulars at Foy's and booked a table for Valentine's Day. The operation was a little too assembly line for our tastes for a special occasion venue. It felt more like a factory - get 'em in, get 'em out."

"Bridget Foy's is an excellent place to go to enjoy time out with your friends or just a quiet dinner for 2! My husband and I went for an early V-Day dinner and were quite impressed with the food! My husband's fish and couscous was so enjoyable that he made the waitress pass on his compliments for an outstanding dinner! We can't wait to bring our friends in so they can enjoy the food and great atmosphere!"

"Great for special occasions OR a night out with friends! I went with my boyfriend and mom during restaurant week and the food was amazing! For appetizer, I had the crab corn bisque, mom and bf had a salad. For entree, we all had the filet mignon. For dessert, I had oreo cheesecake, mom and bf had triple chocolate mousse cake. We all loved our dishes, no complaints from anyone. The deal also included a mac 'n' cheese croquette, which was TO DIE FOR! Most delicious bite of food all night! Also included a choice of cocktail--mom and I had blood orange mimosa and bf had red wine sangria, which he didn't end up liking much--not fruity enough. Server was great too! Only downside was a rowdy group of girls next to us. will definitely come back!"
