Best Casual Restaurants in Penn's Landing

Very much enjoyed our Monday-evening dinner with friends. On a Monday evening, it was quieter toward the front, but the back room was energetic. The decorations were festive, perhaps for the holidays, perhaps year-round--we'll have to return to find out! Service was terrific and the food delicious. We shared: - Guacamole de la casa (3 guacamoles: mango, spicy, and regular), each of which were tasty and everyone had a different favorite! - Chips con 3 salsas (red, green, and borracha), each of which were tasty and I couldn't pick a favorite! Two diners had the Quesabirrias tacos and one the Lengua tacos--everyone was pleased with their order. I tried the Carne Asada from the grill and while the sweet plantains were prepared in a drier/crispier style than I prefer, the meat was perfectly seasoned. We shared an order of churros and tres leches cake--the latter was drier than expected, but the 3 churro-lovers thought they were terrific (crispy on the outside, softer on the inside).

Delicious Philly inspired dishes. Good selection and large portions. Great views of the river.

We visited Paddy Whacks on Saint Paddy's day. The places was busy. We were able to find a table for four. The place was packed with people celebrating Saint Paddy's day. The waitress was very attentive with all the commotion going on throughout the place. The food came out in a timely fashion, and it was pretty good for as busy as they were. Would definitely come back.
