About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!

    It had been about 15 years since we dined at the Saloon, as we moved away. Food and service was very good. What has changed sadly is the dress code. Tshirts shorts sneakers and jeans seem to dominate today. Frankly if I wanted to dine at Olive Garden with the tshirt crowd I’d go there. Instead we wanted a high end classic south Philly meal.

    Brought my parents here to celebrate a birthday. A wonderful dinner from start to finish. Perfect atmosphere, as always. Shared a bunch of dishes. The ossobuco, braciole and Milanese were all excellent. Service was top notch, Freddie is a consummate professional. I love this restaurant.

    First time here and it did not disappoint. Upstairs bar has a great vibe and once we were seated service was timely. Food was delivered timely and portions were nice size and delicious. Even saved room for dessert which was also very good with plenty of choices. only negative was they were out of calamari and peas. Will be back

    This is definitely a 5 star experience. Wait staff is amazing, food was outstanding. They offer complimentary valet parking a block away from the restaurant. You won’t regret this one
