Top Traditional restaurants in Philadelphia, United States

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and this place was even more than what I expected. The service was EXCELLENT. Everyone was so friendly and they kept checking to make sure everything was going well. Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server John was doing a fantastic job. I highly recommend to everyone. I’m most definitely going to be back.

We went here on a Friday evening. It was pretty busy. We were not able to find reservations online, used chase concierge service to make a dinner reservation for us.

The atmosphere was nice and lively. Our waiter, Ricky, was a funny and pleasant guy who was good at his work. 5 ⭐ for the service.

The food was fine. To start off we got their complimentary biscuits and butter and those were some of the best biscuits I have ever had.
For appetizers we got butcher salad (minus the salami) and onion soup. The soup was okay but the salad was good. For main we got their Australian wagyu and lobster Newberg. They were both nice but nothing out of the world. Their stuffed hash brown was something new for us but at this point we had too much greasy food that we could barely eat it.

As far as the good is concerned, we would give them a 3.5/5. 5/5 for service.

Butcher and Singer is a classy, sophisticated, but comfortable restaurant. The service was perfect, and the food was amazing. Absolutely delicious down to the bread on the table. Be ready to spend money, but know that you'll be getting what you pay for, and it will be worth it!

Classy, elegant and steak that is out of this world. Feels like stepping back in time when you come here, or a place that Sinatra would be seen at. Upscale and pricey, but with the service and menu to back it up. It is vibrant and exciting inside, while being dimly lit and low key at the same time.

The tomahawk steak was the best I've ever had; highly recommend trying it. My friends unanimously agreed that the tomahawk surpassed both the porterhouse and New York strip. The service was excellent, and while the appetizers were great, the desserts didn't stand out. Convenient valet parking options are available nearby.

Absolutely everything about our night here was incredible! The steak was dry aged for 40 days and cooked to absolute perfection; the lobster was so succulent I thought I was back home in Florida; my beautiful wife got her favorite French Onion soup which I'm not a fan of and even that was incredible! Oh and you have to get the stuffed hash browns!!! The drinks were great, our waitress was amazing...I wish every dining experience we have goes this well! Three cheers to Butcher and Singer!

Complimentary biscuits were the highlight of the night! So good, would come back just for them. We also enjoyed our loaded hash browns, delmonico steak and brussel sprouts. We didn't like our mushroom steak sauce tho. For dessert we had the baked Alaska, which was a new experience for both of us.

Our server, Ricky, was great! Super friendly and gave great recommendations.

Outstanding steakhouse!! My family and I had an incredible meal here that was to die for. First off, a shoutout to our waiter Ryan (no B!). He was incredibly helpful with suggestions and explaining the menu. We were happy with all of our choices. To break it down:

Drinks were great! I enjoyed my blackberry cosmopolitan very much. The rest of my family later got a wine that they loved as well.

For salads, I loved everything from the shrimp and crab Louie to the wedge salad to that AMAZING crab cake. Can’t go wrong here!

Then, as a family we just split the delmonico and the 32 oz porterhouse. It was all completely devoured. For sauces, we loved both the horseradish and the truffle butter. 10/10 on both. For sides, the loaded hash browns are a must and we all liked the creamed spinach too.

Lastly, dessert. The peanut butter tart was easily the best and the homemade ice cream was super tasty. However, the desserts didn’t quite live up to the quality of the rest of the food. The chocolate fudge cake was just decent and the scoops for the ice cream were extremely small. Otherwise though, great experience all around!
