    Two Brits visiting Philadelphia for the first time and we found traditional English Sunday lunch, exceptional. Warm welcome, friendly service & the food was first class with huge Yorkshire puddlings! What’s not to like?

    Super friendly and accommodating! The food is unbeatable. While this isn’t a super budget friendly option, keep in mind the amount of food equates to the money you’re spending. I cannot wait to make this place a tradition for myself and my partner.

    Food and service were first-rate. We especially liked rabbit pie, lamb cottage pie, and sticky toffee pudding. Wine felt like a rip-off; we paid $70 for a mediocre rosé that retails for around $11 or $12.

    We had a wonderful dinner at the Dandelion. Unfortunately, there was another guest who was incredibly rude to us at the end of the night and left a black mark on the evening. That’s not the restaurant fault, but it was disappointing.

    Great pub, great service, and the beet salad and Ceasar were delicious. The environment is great, and the beer and wine selection is a perfect match for the menu.

    I love The Dandelion in any season, but in winter it is especially welcoming. Like a warm cabin in the village. Once you're through the door you're transported to a cozy pub in London. With a great menu that includes traditional British Bangers and Mash but also with a great burger. It's one of my go to's in Philly. And the Martinis are excellent!!!

    Kathleen provided exceptional service. The front of house staff gave me a great table even though I was a solo seating. 10/10. As always amazing time.
