Hawthornes
Our focus is simply that. We are a full service restaurant with a full bar, 20 draft lines, a 50+ can and bottle list, 6 growler lines and amazing everyday brunch, lunch and dinner. Located right in the Italian Market area of South Philadelphia gives us access to a variety of different ingredients allowing us to make anything our hearts desire. We make everything here from our chips to our oven roasted meats and do not limit ourselves to one cuisine. A true scratch kitchen!
What do we keep in mind when creating our dishes? YOU, THE BEER AND GREAT COMPANY!
Come in. Eat. Drink. And join us for a fireside chat! Salute!

We love Hawthornes! We went for my sisters bday today and it was great! My moms first time. I order the same thing every time. South of the border. Soooo good. Same waitress as last time and she’s awesome! I wish I remember name.
Had an amazing dinner outside in one of the cubes. Food was excellent. Service was great. Drinks delicious. Was so nice to have dinner outside in Philly again
Great food, great experience. Neighborhood favorite.
Great food. One of the best burgers in the city.Love the mahi-mahi tacos also
I really like Hawthornes, the food is surprisingly good! And the portions are good sizes too. The fish tacos were really delicious, and satisfying. We also shared the fried pickles, which I would definitely recommend.
Overall the experience was ok, made better by waitress, as event for Easter brunch with bunny. We were not informed until after the bunny left for the day that he would not be returning to interact or take pictures as he finished at 3:00pm and our reservation was at 2:45pm. The bunny did quickly stop over and present a small pkg but did not stay long enough for a picture or much interaction outside of hi and here is your gift. This was VERY disappointing for my little one as she was SOOOOO excited to see the Easter bunny and take a picture with him. If we were told of his short appearance perhaps we could have made an earlier 'RSVP or perhaps the restaurant could have informed us of his schedule and/or posted pix times. My entire reason for booking was for the Easter bunny experience which was brief at best. The waitress who felt sorry for my little one offered that we could come back on Sunday and she would ensure that we got to see and take a pix with the Easter bunny. Sadly our Sunday schedule could not accommodate another trip to downtown Philly for this coveted pix, so my little one missed out out on a 2021 Easter bunny pix.
Incredibly nice staff. Everything arrived quickly and was delicious too.
Loved being in our own pod. The food was good, as expected. The waiter was attentive. Even though it was raining, it was still great to be there. Will definitely return.
Food was so good, loved the seating outside service was excellent thank you
Great place food was so good! Overall I enjoyed my experience! It’s a great brunch spot
I can't say enough about the service and food....exceptional
The outdoor igloos are a great touch! I hope it’s a permanent fixture. The igloos minimize outside elements and create an intimate space for the dinner party. The food was delicious and it was perfectly accompanied by good service from our waitress Sam. Sam was open to making special requests and took the time to answer any questions we had. The brunch menu includes twists on traditional meals thats delightful, for example the Buffalo Salmon with Arugula & Potato Salad (no mayo which I was happy about). The alcoholic beverages taste good and were really refreshing!
The food is amazing! The service is outstanding. Super Covid safe!
Hawthorne’s has become my favorite local hangout! And everyone I bring ends up loving it as well! Yummy food and drinks, warm and efficient service, and lots of outdoors eating possibilities. Perfect!
Hawthrone’s had the best BEC I have ever eaten. Highly recommend.
Service was friendly and great. Delicious menu that did not disappoint. Outdoor options from which to choose were fine. Hawthornes is yummy, solid and a nice place to meet up with friends.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was good,
Food was delicious and our service was great!
Good food. Good Service. Solid outdoor set up. Overall an awesome experience that felt covid safe.
This is typically one of my favorite local spots for the great beer selection and usually good food.
Unfortunately, the service was surprisingly disappointing; we sat for 15 minutes before someone took our order and our app was brought after our dinner. The fried chicken sandwich was overly greasy and had a very fatty piece of chicken that was barely edible.
However, what made it worse is they wrongfully changed the tip I saw on my credit card statement, conflicting with my identical customer copy and finance tracker. When asked to investigate, they denied they made any change which was a bit unsettling.
Will reconsider going back and if I do, will be sure to avoid the fried chicken and leave a tip that is not easy to change.
Love this place! Get the tots and fish tacos. Great beer selection
Food is great. My server is very busy so she forgot my coffee order after we ordered dessert. She cancelled the charge and offered to still serve the coffee afterwards but I just said no. Overall, it was still good experience.
Wish they would use less paper products
I had an awesome time at Hawthornes. The food was great, the outdoor setup was nice and our server was spectacular. Would recommend to anyone and can't wait to go again.
Hawthornes is always great! Good food/drinks and nice service. You won’t be disappointed!
Hawthornes is a fantastic spot to safely eat out during COVID! It was easy to get a reservation, service and food were great. Definitely recommend!
It was just okay..... more of a brunch spot..... would like to try that experience next time
Hawthornes always delivers. I moved close by 2 years ago and it has absolutely become my go to spot. The food is always incredible. The beer selection and cocktails are always great, and the staff is incredible.
Phenomenal service and delicious food. We sat in the pods and they were Adorable.
Wonderful experience! Great service and atmosphere!
Wonderful attentive service. Great food! Wish the decor was more inviting.
Coverings for pavement and possible votives flowers at table and real silverware would be preferred but overall great food and experience!
They have one of the best outdoor dining set ups I've seen. The server was excellent and great food
Great food and drinks, service is always good. People are nice. Feels overpriced, especially since their meals are smaller now outside using the disposable trays. OVerall love it there, though.
the waitress was splendid, but the manager would not assist me when I complained about the taste of my food. I had to pay for food that I did not enjoy. The manager spoke to me as if I was incompetent and a petty criminal.
I love this restaurant.
Food and drinks were excellent, our server was great and the outdoor tent was cozy yet felt socially distance and safe. We’ll be back for sure!
Mid snow storm and pandemic, and Hawthorne’s was open, modifying everything to fit all of the circumstances. My two young kids and I had an awesome brunch in one of the private dining bubbles (there is also a larger, socially distanced heated tent). The food and drinks were incredible and service was so friendly and accommodating. Had never been before and now cannot wait to go back.
Outside tent for dining was comfortable and the server was lovely!
Staff and food are always wonderful!
Everything was great food was delicious will be back again
