    As a lifelong Philly couple, it was our first time at Barclay Prime. Nice experience as our version of Thanksgiving dinner (our 3 kids are all out of town this year). Food was well prepared and, of course, the filet mignon was superb. The price point is a tad out of our reach for us on a normal dining out date (we had a gift certificate) and Barclay Prime is definitely a special occasion venue. Probably will not return (unless another gift certificate is in the offing!) but we did have a lovely evening. Thank you!

    Good food and good value for a pre-theater dinner. Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. General commentary for most wait staff these days and a pet peeve of mine- like many others says “are we” when asking “we diners” a question. Not sure who instructed wait staff to say “we” instead of “you” but it’s incorrect. They are not at table with “us.” Endeavoring to Include themselves in the diner’s experience is overly familiar, incorrect and at times condescending. Nonetheless, They work hard. Tip well!

    I made reservations for a family dinner on Thursday night. We were greeted promptly and shown to our table. Although the rest of my family had been there before, this was my first time. Our server Matthew was friendly and helpful. They have an extensive bar menu as well as Coke products. We had the Street Corn Crab Nachos, boneless wings, cheesesteak, and the chicken sandwich classic. We split an order of crab fries. The portions are not huge and are appropriate sizes. The food was delicious. There are many TVs playing sports. There’s a good vibe. There’s also a parking lot because the restaurant is near a shopping center in Drexel Hill. We’ll definitely be back.
