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!

    BEST MEAL.. and I mean THE BEST MEAL I’ve had in a long time. Everything about this place was perfect. The ambiance, the drinks, the service, and of course- the food. Thank you to our waitress T. who delivered exceptional service. My boyfriend and I will be coming back in a couple months to celebrate our anniversary!

    This generally my favorite restaurant in the City. As always the food and atmosphere did not disappoint. However, we have also become accustomed to great service. I must say we were very disappointed in the service. It really negatively impacted our experience.

    This is one of my favorite places. Our server, Gianna, was fabulous and the food was very good as always. The place was hopping as usual, but everything was handled perfectly and it was hard to find anything not to like. We had a great time.

    I have left reviews for the Saloon in the past, always excellent service, ambiance and food. You cannot go wrong dining at this well recognized establishment. If you haven’t been, just go. If you have been, then no need to consult reviews. In a word…..Fabulous!!!

    Dined on 6/20/25. Dinner was great and service was fantastic. I had the Ossobuco and would definitely order in again. My wife had the angle hair with crab and my daughter had the shrimp, muscle, and clams pasta dish. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and very comfortable.
