Had a great experience having surgery here. Operating room is new and amazing. Staff were all friendly and accommodating. I had a week long stay post surgery and that was great as well. Food could use an upgrade to go with the building, but what hospital food couldn't use an upgrade? I'm from Philly and would travel back here again if needed.
Great bbq, affordable. We got catering and everything was perfect. The Mac and cheese got the highest reviews from our feast but everything was great that we had (ribs, brisket, ham, beans and coleslaw). Ribs were large and had a nice Smokey flavor with a kick. Ham was sweet and salty and brisket was tender.
Love this place! Been coming here for years and it has only gotten better over the years. They have delicious gluten free bread for their fresh sandwiches and quite often their soup of the day is gluten free. The coffee is delicious, so are the shakes. The decor is warm and local art is always hanging on the walls. Staff is friendly and helpful and dogs are welcome, so that's always a plus!
Since Armands is one of the only turntable repair stores available in Philadelphia, I have been going here for the last 4 years. Each time I need assistance or repair I am treated rudely. Today I called to get an estimate on getting a ground wire replaced and new legs for my tech 1200s. I was told that I could not get an estimate over the phone and I had to come into the store personally to get the quote. When I explained that I just needed a rough idea to know whether or not I could afford to bring it in right now, I was again rudely told that I had to personally appear before him before he could tell me the price. I wonder if what I look like has an effect on how much I get charged? If I didn't know what I needed fixed, I could get that, but knowing exactly what I need and what turntables they are, this is uncalled for. Now I would have to waste money getting there to appear before this person personally to get a quote before even bringing in my tables. I feel awful knowing that I have given this business well over a grand in the last few years in product purchases and repairs.
One word for this place, Burger! If there is one thing on the menu that you have to try, it's the burger. The flavors are amazing. The fries are the best I have ever had, mainly due to their dipping sauce.
You will have to wait most evenings, on Friday and Saturday after 7, expect an hour wait. I recommend going early in the week or before 7. The food takes forever to come out, but when it does, it's to die for. If youre looking for a long date, this is your place. If you're looking for a quick in and out, not your place. I have waited over 30 minutes for my food multiple times, even when there was no one else in the place.
The servers are pleasant, but often forget the small things, probably because there are only two for the whole place, even on a packed night. The decor is nice, but sometimes a little too dark for me.
This place also carries Vegan Treats for the desserts. Vegan Treats will trick even the most anti-vegan food person out there. If you see vegan on the board next to the desserts, don't let that deter you, they are fantastic! PS - I hate vegan food!
