  • "Food was good - soup was cold and still not that great after it was reheated. The service was good - no complaints there. Just the food was lacking in taste. Exceeept the mac & cheese. The people that ordered the mac & cheese were very very pleased ---then again, it's mac & cheese."

  • "This was my second time at Devil's Alley. I have been with a group for a birthday dinner and this past time we enjoyed dinner for two. The food is delicious and it is a fun place to go for an eventful night out."

  • "I have enjoyed brunch here a few times. Its my go to for weekends with friends when I want something more low-key than my other favorites Parc and Distrito. Brunch is southern/tex-mex inspired provided warm comfort food that isn't over the top with both a buffet and al carte offerings. Didn't get much of a greeting or attention from the hostess upon arrival but the waiter was attentive even as the place started to liven up."

  • "I went to Devil's Alley to celebrate my college graduation. Luckily, it also happened to be restaurant week in Philadelphia, so I had the added bonus of enjoying four courses of Devil's Alley meals. Each course was great! I still remember how delicious each course was- especially the scallops and dry rub wings appetizers! The mixed drinks were enjoyable as well- not too strong and tasty. Overall, great meal, great experience for a reasonable price."

  • "Don't ever go there for restaurant week. Or ever. Horrible horrible service. We had a reservation for 8pm and didn't get seated till 8:40. I had to check with the hostess 2 times before we even were seated. They were the absolute worst. We spent 3 hours there because they cooked the food so slow. The waitress knew nothing about the menu and they ran out of everything and 5 times came over to the table saying they ran out of whatever and we had to pick another choice. Would never recommend this restaurant for anyone."

  • "Originally I went to Devil's Alley with a friend for Restaurant Week, but after experiencing their wonderful food and service, I will definitely go back for a special occasion dinner! The food was first and foremost DELICIOUS! I cannot believe they perfectly blended the taste of a loaded baked potato into soup form... SOUP FORM. That is unheard of, and it was mouthwatering good. Also, I tried their tempura fried tofu (it was my first time eating tofu) and it was amazing! The service was incredible, everyone was very nice and patient I recommended that place to all of my college friends for restaurant week and just to go there in general!"

  • "Thanking Neil for a great experience during restaurant week. As a out of town visitor, I came for the proximity and stayed for the wings. Drinks were excellent and well served and the food and service were awesome. Feel free to ask for guidance, staff are willing to help."

  • "The restaurant week food was different from the normal menu. We thought the chef was trying to show that he could prepare more than just pub food, and he succeeded quite well. Everything was prepared well, appeared artistically, and was delicious. If they have the same level of food as in restaurant week, than we would certainly stop there again and recommend it. The only down side was that on the specials board it stated that white and red wine was $4 during happy hour when we were there. There were no exceptions noted, however when our bill came we were charged the full $9 a glass. We were told that that wine was not part of the happy hour wine special. It would have been good to be told beforehand or have it noted on the specials board."

  • "I've been here many times but this was my first visit for breakfast/brunch. All 3 of us felt that our meals were very bland (I even added salt and I'm very sensitive to salt). We also had to send our bacon (2 orders) back to have it cooked more. It was not done when they brought it out. I'll go back for the beer and the blt, but not for breakfast/brunch."

  • "I ordered my salmon BLT cooked medium. The salmon was cooked done and the bacon was medium, just the reverse of what I wanted. My dining partner had a entree salad which she loved. Our pretty server was annoying, less than 10 seconds after our entrees arrived, she broke into our conversation to ask how the food tasted! She asked 2 more times later about the food, even though we were in a conversation. Don't servers know visual cues?"

  • "My boyfriend and I loved this place. The food is american comfort food and you can never really complain about that. We started with cocktails--my pomegranate sangria was super tasty. We also had the special appetizer--short rib quesadilla...it was so good. I had the grilled cheese with bacon and apple and the spicy fries. I loved this dish--a modern twist on a classic. My boyfriend had the pulled pork which he also really enjoyed but was kind of impossible to eat! Overall great pricing and great food. We will be back!"

  • "Visitor to Philly. Recommended by friend. Greeted warmly. Seated at small table. We asked to sit at a booth. No problem. Waitress was efficient and told us drink and food specials. Very good food served hot. Nice atmosphere and talking level good. After leaving hostess called us to tell us we had left glasses behind. That was an advantage of booking online. They had our contact number and called us when we were two blocks from the restaurant. Nice service! Thank you."

  • "I made a reservation at Devil's Alley for lunch on a Friday at 11:45 before Christmas. When I got there, the place was deserted and I was wondering if the reservation was really necessary. However, within a half hour there wasn't a seat left in the place. The service was fantastic despite the crowd. They have a very good selection of beers on tap. I have a blood mary which was super tasty and garnished with green olives. I had the Cuban sandwich which came with fries. My friend who had been there before told me the burgers can't be beat. Salads looked fresh and crisp. The fries weren't the greatest, but passable. Would totally recommend Devil's Alley for a working day lunch."

  • "The atmosphere was pleasant and engaging, the server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu options. The noise level was good because every person in our party of 7 was able to participate in the ongoing conversation which bounced from one end of the table to the other. Everyone was able to find something they could eat and enjoyed even though our group composition ranged from extreme meat eaters to vegetarians."
    Dined on 12/11/2013
  • "We chose Devil's Alley looking for a quick and inexpensive dinner between Center City and Rittenhouse. The buffalo chicken sandwich was excellent with a tangy sauce, both melted and blue cheese, and even crispy bacon. Spicy fries were a good complement. The burger was cooked perfectly. Sweet potato fries were awesome. They even had a kids menu. Delivered on all accounts, good food, decent price, and quick service."
    Dined on 12/7/2013
  • "The service was only fair. The food was fine, but nothing out of the ordinary. (I should mention that the onion rings were way, way way overdone and really should not have come out of the kitchen that way. We actually ordered two servings of them, and BOTH were burnt. I really should have sent those back if I was thinking straight.) Pricing was totally in line. Completely mediocre, nothing even slightly special or memorable."
    Dined on 11/30/2013
  • "First time, last time. The good- our server was good. The bad- the ribs. served cold, which is inexcusable when 4 people are in the restaurant. When they were heated they were still bad. Decor is a mess.. nobody is there. Needs a refresh or something. Burger served with a weird pile of onion rings and fries with toothpicks in between. I eat out a lot .But not here again. Learn from the master. Stay away."

  • "My husband and I were looking for a restaurant close to our hotel for a casual dinner. After reading the reviews, we chose Devil's Alley. We were seated at a table near the front window next to the curtain that separated us from the entryway. The noise level was high even though we were away from the majority of diners. Tables were arranged a bit too close together. The service was OK but not exceptional. The smoked brisket sandwich was disappointing and needed something to give it more flavor. The grilled half chicken was OK. The roasted veggies and sweet potatoes were quite good. The restaurant was crowded at 7pm on a Saturday night, so clearly others had a better experience than we did."
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "Devil's Alley was a perfect spot within walking distance to our hotel. The service was great and the menu had good selection for young kids, too. We were very pleased with the setting and noise level. The comfort food was delicious. We definitely would go back when we visit Philadelphia again."
    Dined on 11/16/2013
  • "Met a friend for brunch and we were looking for a spot that had a bar....Devil's Alley filled the bill (or should I say glass?) We loved the cocktails we ordered- the chipotle bloody mary and the rise and shine! Brunch was delicious. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the pancake sandwich and my squash bread french toast was perfect. Will be back!"

  • "My mom visited for the weekend and I wanted to take her to a unique spot in the city that wasn't too pricey. This was the perfect place! We had a reservation so we were seated right away but I don't think a reservation was necessary even on a busy Saturday night (with the exception of large groups). Even though our waitress was extremely busy, the service was great and our food came out really quickly. The food was excellent and the portions were so large that we had enough to take home for dinner the next night. Overall, if you're looking for a causal night out in a unique Philly restaurant, Devil's Alley is the place!"

  • "We went for Sunday Bruch and the food was great! The shrimp and Grits was to die for. Best I've tasted north of the Mason-Dixon Line. We are definitely going back for more."
    Dined on 10/27/2013
  • "The food was delicious and more than enough to leave us stuffed and ready to take an afternoon nap. The waiter was wonderful and the wait for our food was about average. Overall, I love this restaurant which is why I am having my happy hour for my last day at my job there. KUDOS!!!"
    Dined on 10/16/2013
  • "It's a very cool place. The food was good and obviously fresh, but the service was very slow. So if you only have only an hour for lunch, I wouldn't recommend it. And it was extremely noisy."

  • "My best guest is the kitchen takes liberties with the freshness of the food. Several of the food Items we ordered were sour or undercooked. We both had the general sense that something was off with the food - my barbecue smelled funny and my friend's fish tasted "off" as she described it. There are plenty of dive bars where you can enjoy the local chill of a neighborhood. Devil's Alley is not one."

  • "My sisters and I had attend an event downtown, and decide since it was restaurant week in center city Philadelphia, that we would take advantage of the offer and have dinner while we were in town. After researching the restaurant that were offering this deal on a Saturday, we decide that the Devil’s Alley menu had something that we all could agree on. Thankfully we were not disappointed; they offer a four course meal, which was outstanding, I can truly say that the next time we decide to have dinner in center city, we will definitely consider the Devil’s Alley, we had a great time."

  • "We had been to Devil's Alley for brunch before, most recently just a month ago and had a great experience with nice food and beverages and pleasant competent service. Not this time. We were seated a minute after the table next to us. It was over 15 minutes before the server approached the tables and took drink orders and another before she came back, without drinks, and took food orders. The party of 4 next to us got up and left when a half hour after ordering, they still hadn't gotten their coffee. We waited and 35 minutes after we ordered got drinks that had obviously been sitting forgotten on the bar. Food came another 10 minutes later with eggs prepared incorrectly and no silverware until we asked for it. Shoddy and disappointing."

  • "You would expect for a center city restaurant to be expensive but not this place. We went for brunch and got more than what we expected. The waiter/bartender was nice... and very handsome (which was a plus!) The brunch crowd is almost non-existent, which surprised me. I ordered the shrimp and grits. My sister ordered the breakfast quesadilla's. Everything was delish and the portions were large. If you like soul food, country cooking, barbque etc. then this place is a must visit! They do not care about caolories here so if you are conscious about that, I'm not sure what you could eat from the menu!"
    Dined on 8/10/2013
  • "I took a girl on a date to this place and was somewhat disappointed with the service. I had to ask for napkins which kinda annoyed me, considering we ordered two burgers. The food was good, however I doubt I would return for a second date there."

  • "My second time dining at Devil's Alley was a great experience. Went with my dad and my fiancée around 7pm on a Monday, so it wasn't very crowded. Our waitress was great and very quick to get us anything we needed. For the price, the portions are very generous! I ordered the full rack of ribs with the bbq sauce as did my father, and we were both impressed with how tasty the sauce was and how massively meaty each rib was... I had 4 ribs left over and was stuffed. They have an awesome selection of sides;it was difficult to choose only two. If you are in the Rittenhouse area and craving some good bbq, particularly ribs, give this place a try!"
