Saloon Restaurant
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!

"From the moment we sat down through paying the bill, every step was terribly slow. I understand a casual, comfortable pace...but a half hour between the app plate being cleared and the entree arriving...really? Then a further 25 mins for the dessert once it was ordered? Even the drink order took almost 20 minutes. Disappointing this time. Never like this before."

"The Saloon is my mother's favorite place so of course we had to return for Mother's Day. I have been dining here for so many years and come to always expect the consistant quality of their food and service. This event we were serviced by Angelina who was excellent with presenting the menu and specials in a very charming way. Another wonderful visit to this great restaurant."

"Glad to come back to the Saloon. Was THE place to bring a client or celebrate a business or personal event. May not attract the same power house crowd it attracted years ago but it’s still great. Many classics remain on the menu and the quality is still outstanding. And still has the best wait staff in town. Will return"

"We were very pleased with our dinner at the Saloon.
We consider it the Union League of fine restaurants.
The service is impeccable and the food was even better.
To top it off we felt that it was very reasonably priced for what we ate.
I used to think this was a tourist attraction but I was wrong. It is a neighborhood gem for sure.
We loved our friendly bartender also. He recommended drinks for us that were fabulous.
This is a place where everything comes together. If we had to change one thing, it would be the decor.
But honestly, that is part of it's charm."

They often have a band on Friday nights that is a lot of fun, the food is never disappointing and an extensive selection, bar and bartender are fun. Overall a very memorable place and experience. Highly recommend!"

"I haven't been to the Saloon in years but wanted to go back to this old place in South Phila. It was excellent. Not a new place with innovative food, and a great alternative to that. (One small note-the wine pour was a little light.) All in all, a great time and a great evening. Service and the people could not have been nicer. A real classic."

"I have been going to the Saloon, off and on, for 30+ years. The food quality & service are always very good as is the ambiance. The specials each evening make you question why they have a menu. A nice wine list complements their menu. Great spot for business or personal occasions."

"The Saloon was a great choice for our Valentine's Day celebration (the day after). We selected an early 1000 point reservation and were seated immediately. The wait staff was very accomodating and friendly. We both had veal specials that were delicious. We first went to the Saloon back in 1980. The fact that it is still a busy restaurant, 33 years later, is a tribute to the fine food and friendly atmosphere. We will be back in the future sooner than 30+ years!"

"My wife took me here for my birthday dinner, this was also my grandfather's favorite restaurant and he would frequent it quite a bit back in the day. So we were running late for our reservation and the kind folks keep the kitchen open for us. The food was excellent, I ordered the Clams Pavoratti and the Veal special, my wife ordered the Lobster francese. All in all a great experience. The restaurant has amazing woodwork and interesting old time signage and artwork. They let us walk around the restaurant and gave us a little tour of the upstairs. Highly recommended!"

"We had not been to the Saloon for nearly 20 years and for my sister's 60th birthday, she flew up from Atlanta for the weekend to have a nostalgic celebration. The Saloon has not changed much - same great atmosphere, very popular and energetic, accommodating, great bar scene and good cocktails, Lobster Franchese was exactly as we remembered!, and the dessert was festively served with candles and singing - all in all, as good or better than we hoped! Thank you for making 3 sisters feel so special!"

"Overall Saloon was wonderful. I was hoping for something more romantic & I don't think it fit that particular bill. Otherwise, I am thrilled with Saloon, have already recommended it & will hopefully be back."

"The Saloon is a terrific restaurant.
The menu is great, but wait...the waitress will describe an extensive list of specials and no request is too great for the kitchen. They will cook whatever you want, however you want it.
Wonderful dining experience!"

"Our Valentine's Day dinner was our first visit, and it was superb. Thanks to all of the other OT reviewers for their input. We are suburbanites who rarely dine in the city."

"Excellent as always. Wait staff never ceases to amaze with ability to perfectly roll through the specials in detail & never miss a beat. Attentive & unobtrusive service at reasonable prices for a restaurant of this quality. Wine list is more than adequate. Portion sizes are generous but not "overkill." Preparation and presentation are outstanding. Downstairs can get a bit noisy, so if upstairs is available, head on up."

"I thought the food was very good, but under-seasoned. I don't cook with salt at home, so for me to have this comment speaks volumes. Just a little extra flavor in the sauce would have been great. Everything was very fresh and delicate, but very little depth of flavor. Make sure you dress well if you go!"

"Loved the spinach and prosciutto salad. Even better the next day. Gnocchi melted in my mouth. Mussels also delicious. The sauce was wonderful. My husbands veal chop was a little bland but topped with crabmeat that was great. He said the chop tasted better the next day. All in all a great dinner, excellent service. We are semi regulars. We go about once per year for past 15 years or so and never had a bad meal there. One of our favorites."

"We had not been here in about three years, due to the fact that it is 1-1/2 hours away from our home. But, it was as fantastic as we remembered it.
In fact, we were talking to a couple of friends that had not been there in about 5 years (since their daughter moved out of Philadelphia, and they were surprised to learn that it was still in existence, and we agreed to go back, because they remembered how outstanding it was."

"I felt as though it was very overpriced for what we received:( Food was good however, not exceptional. Also, how can an Italian restaurant not include a side of pasta with veal/chicken parm??? Pasta is inexpensive.
Overall, a little disappointing:("

"This is a classic Philly Restaurant. We ate there with our two kids (3 &11). The food is well prepared. My kids ate pasta and Ravioli, while I had the Veal Saltimboca. (I forget what my wife had). The Veal was excellent, and may have been the best Salimboca that I have eaten! The deserts were also very tasty.
Most importantly, the waitstaff and management treated us very well. The service was on point and friendly.
The free parking nearby was an added bonus."
