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!

    Great place with a really nice setting. Service is top. Food was good as well despite our steak was little burned outside but nevertheless we’d go back for sure when back in Philly

    I’m a South Philly girl and have somehow never been here and I decided that needed to change! We came here to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. We truly enjoyed our night, great drinks, our waitress Taylor was lovely, food was great! Only think I can say as a negative, we ordered veal and it does not come with a side of pasta, would have just been a nice touch. We had tiramisu for dessert and it is definitely at the top of the list for one of the best I ever had!

    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!

    Outstanding is the only word to describe the Saloon. We love the food, waitstaff, and overall excellence in dining pleasure. It’s our favorite restaurant and deservedly so.
