Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bud & Marilyn's delights with "outstanding" service and "delicious" dishes like cinnamon pecan rolls and hot chicken sandwiches. The "comfortable" and "fun" atmosphere, paired with creative menu options, makes it a "must-visit" spot. Be prepared for "lively" noise levels and wait times during peak hours.

    We were there for an early Brunch-- so the noise level was quiet but got noisier as the meal progressed. We noticed that Philadelphia restaurants are on average "boisterous" to say the least. The service was very accommodating and friendly. And the food--excellent quality, served warm and in a timely manner. We enjoyed the Bloody mary's and the feel of the restaurant was inviting and friendly. We'd definitely recommend it and return when visiting Philadelphia in the future.

    From beginning to end the service was outstanding. Every choice made was delicious from the cinnamon pecan roll to the hot chicken sandwich. Not a bad bite.

    Food was played very nicely, I liked the cinnamon roll and the huevos rancheros! The half chicken didn’t stand out. It had a nice presentation but didn’t taste like much. The service was nothing special, it just felt like I had someone take my order and leave, and drop off the check when it was time to go

    Service was outstanding but waited around 45 mins for food. So just be prepared to wait on a Saturday or Sunday.

    Warm atmosphere. Medium noise level. Good cocktails. Fried chicken was a bit dry but still very good. This is one of our go to spots.

    Server had too many tables. Forgot our cocktail order and it was so long before she came back are food had already arrived. Food was good but they seemed understaffed.

    Really cute place. The decor was on pointe the tables were alittle close which is to be expected and so noisy. Not a place for a first date. The menu was diverse. Something for anyone. Not slot of attention by the wait staff but to be expected. Was alittle disappointed the online menu wasn’t exactly the same. Had a few items I wanted and wasn’t on the menu when we go there. Would definitely go again
