a really great spot - our true go to when we want to head to south philly. there is a lot of outdoor seating. it is heated in the winter, fanned in the summer. you can make reservations, which is a plus!
the food is incredible and they have really tasty cocktails, and cold beers. and great happy hour specials and a solid brunch menu.

I truly think this is my favorite spot in Philly. Low key bar and delicious food. Pizza, fried chicken, and hamburger are some of the best in the city. I've had many a Friday night where I eat an entire pie of pizza from Sidecar and binge watch Netflix - doesn't get much better (I mean it!).

Yummy food and great rotating beer selection. I like coming for a midweek lunch. It's usually pretty calm, which means service can be a little on the slower side, but the wait staff is very friendly and working hard. Dog friendly outside. It's pricier than comparable options, so just be cognizant of that going in!

Dropped into Sidecar on a whim, ordered the Love is Religion and Kiss of Life, burger, brussels, mussels, vegan wife had the Sesame Noodles.
The food was INCREDIBLE, cocktails were even better. I forgot to take pics of the burger because I was in love after the first bite. Fries were hot and crispy. Brussels had a touch of sweet. Whole experience was phenomenal.
Hostess was very accommodating of our baby and the manager Dan made sure we were good and happy, which we definitely were. Service was speedy and on point. Outside patio was covered and comfortable.
So happy we accidentally ended up there, can’t wait to go back.

Love us some Sidecar! The food is great, especially if you like Detroit style pizza. Delicious cocktails, wings and Mac n cheese too! We really come for the happy hour or pizza, otherwise this place can be a bit pricey for dinner. Love the outdoor seats, not a fan of indoor, it’s dark and cramped.

We love this place!! Whether going out with friends on a weekend, wanting a chill and reasonably priced dinner close by, or ordering for takeout, the food is always delicious and the staff are super nice. The pizza is amazing, the fries are so crispy and good, and I think they have one of the best burgers in the city! We’ve only lived in the area for a few months and have already been here 5 times, and plan to keep coming often!

A restaurant with options galore and all of them will tempt you.
After a snowstorm delayed travel plans, it opened an opportunity to get brunch with new friends. The Sidecar takes reservations, which is highly recommended as you will end up waiting otherwise. Upon arrival you are kindly greeted and treated that way for the duration of your visit.
Opening the menu will turn you into one of Pavlov’s dogs. You’ll scroll cross the humorously named Between Two Slices and a delicious sounding farmers omelette, before you get to the benny section. There are three different eggs benedict options. The porchetta struck me as the most intriguing and it was a great decision. Each bite was bliss. The softness of the egg and sauce allowed the crispy porchetta to come through nicely. And oh my gosh are the potatoes crispy!
The atmosphere inside was busy but calm and allowed for great conversations to be had and new friendships to blossom. They have a great streatery setup ideal for warmer weather dining.

Laid back bar/restaurant in Graduate hospital. Featuring indoor seating on the first and second floor with multiple bars, and plenty of outdoor covered seating with heaters. The service is really quick and friendly. And the food is very good with quality items to choose from like salads, burgers, soups and more.

Good food, standard service. It was as one would expect.
The restaurant is known as a good date night or first date spot so at the very least you’ll have great people watching. There is both indoor and outdoor seating (covered and with heaters) for whichever makes you comfortable.
Food-wise, the Hot Chicken Sandwich had great flavor and spice with perfectly cooked fries. The Temph Bahn Mi was massive, both in size and flavor. The Fall Salad was rather disappointing- it’s a massive salad with just way too much lettuce and the root vegetables on topped weren’t cooked all the way through.
Overall, decent place.
