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 dinner we have had out in a while. Started with cocktails at the bar and finished off with a delicious meal. Everything was excellent from start to finish. Will definitely be back soon! Also the Christmas decorations were very classy and finished off the quaint old south Philly look!

    In the colder weather, you will not want to sit on the street level. The food was very good; the prices were high. I eat at other high-end restaurants, so I am familiar with the value charged for a good dinner at a good restaurant.
