I remember when this place first opened up on State Rd called Crabbies and then relocated here to Bustleton Ave. Food still great and met our new waitress, Alyssa. Thank you for everything! Wonderful experience and will be back again! 5⭐️’s!
Oh ya… the biggest and best Apple Cobbler in Philly! All thanks to ALYSSA!

From the moment I walked through the door, the music was bumpin. They were playing old stool jams. There was a DJ. We had to wait for a table but it was well worth it. The drinks were exceptional. I got Cupid’s kiss and my man got a beer. The food was fresh and flavorful. The bar was packed. I felt like they were having a great time there.

My husband took me out to Benny’s this weekend for v-day we have been talking about going since seeing it on Facebook but after reading some reviews we were skeptical our server Mia was so beyond helpful she asked if it was our first time here and gave us some amazing recommendations. There was a wait, like every good restaurant it was busy in there but the service was attentive and food came out so delious we definitly will be back

Had been A longtime customer and my parents would bring me here as a young child. Haven’t been in for more than a few years. I came in today for dinner and had A wonderful experience. I had the 8oz Filet mignon. Also had chicken fingers with honey mustard. Salad and mashed potatoes with broccoli. Everything was great! The steak was cooked just right and tasted just like the old steak featured at Parx Casino with the wine sauce and mushrooms! So good. Had a great time. I highly recommend Benny the bum’s

Me & my girls went here on a Monday at about 9pm. It didnt really do much for us. We all got different drinks and felt like they weren’t good. Didn’t taste the alcohol and they just tasted water down. I will say the ladies next to use said they drinks were good but idk. The bartender never came back to see if wanted more drinks. The food Was ok. We got the Mac n cheese n crab egg rolls. Maybe I didnt go on a good night idk. I have to ask several times for the check n for them to take my car so I could pay. I almost walked up. Im pretty sure I wont be back. O and a fight almost broke out n they don’t have security so no one pats you down to make sure u dont have weapons. Was kinda scary

I was there on Saturday 3/7/2026 My food was horrible. It took the waiter 15 minutes yo even greet us. She didn’t come over to our table until she seen me get up. The food was very over cooked. I ordered the seafood broil with the clams, mussels, snow crabs. I also ordered the crab rolls to go. When I opened the box it was like they weren’t even fried. I still him them in my refrigerator. Just a wasted of money. I wish I could upload pictures.

Invited there for HS Graduation dinner celebration and was surprised to see the vibe at that location but it was nice. The food was delicious and the service was fine. I will try to visit once again, however I do believe they should do better at the following:
1. No exposure to the Ratchet Adult Music & Hookah until after 10:30 pm out of
respect to families dinning with children.
2. Tables and floors should be cleaned up ASAP
Until next time…
