Dagwood’s Pub

Absolutely love it there! My husband and I go all the time for lunch. Food is always hot and delicious. During the summer they have all you can eat crabs, mussels, wings and pasta. It’s hands down the best all you can eat day in the city. Their white mussels are out of this world!

Phenomenal! I don’t have one negative critique about my experience here (that might be a first for anywhere). The food is excellent, very well priced and fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. The service was cordial and attentive. I immediately felt at home. Dagwoods has a new regular.

Great little place! I stopped in after a work event and had the she crab soup (excellent) and the seafood mac and cheese (solidly good). I loved that they didn’t skimp on the seafood, the portion was heaping, and it came out piping hot. Didn’t love the jalapeño chunks in it (I was expecting chopped, not diced, so I was a little taken aback by the kick). It’s clearly a little locals place. If you eat at the bar (like I did), be prepared to wait a few extra mins for the bar tender to come over (he’s chatting with the regulars). Not a problem, just means that people go there regularly! Well worth the stop.

Went to Dagwood’s for the first time this past Thursday evening after coming across the Unilocal reviews.
Called to see if reservations were necessary, they don’t take reservations. Arrived about 6:45, bar was packed, probably a regular crowd. Had a wait of ~25 minutes, not terrible.
Seems like there were two waitresses, running their butts off, to include busing the tables.
Note to Owner: Suggest you provide a busboy/​bus-​person.
Our party of 4 had Mary Kate as a waitress. She is superior – attentive, polite with a sincere smile and pleasant personality.
Complimentary salad and soup bar, self service, «Limit one serving,» obviously there’s history there when that needs to be in writing.
My drink was good, better than average actually, considering most bartenders suck at making an «extra dry martini.»
Food was excellent and fresh. They ran out of spinach and automatically substituted mixed veggies, I didn’t have an issue with that.
Noise level was very loud, plus there was a live musician whose speakers were way too loud for my taste. Was hoping they’d install a drop-​ceiling to absorb some of the noise.
Food and service=5 stars.

If you’re gonna go on Unilocal to complain about being over charged for a salad bar or the crowd that was there one the single night you were there, stay at home and eat easy mac.
This place has amazing sandwiches and bar food and their specials are out of this world. The new renovations they recently made gives the place a whole new look and makes you feel at home. This place is the only spot I go to in the Northeast. Second to none.

Dagwoods is great on every level. Food is superb. The seafood is really amazing. The service is great. They did a shrimp fra diablo better than any Italian restaurant we have been to.

The food was amazing tonight. We moved to the area a year ago, but never tried this place. We both got the specials. They had so many appetizing choices it took us a while to order. They even had appetizer specials. We love seafood, and this place got it right. Portions are bug and the prices are very reasonable. The bar area is loud, so sit in the dining room. Friendly staff and a neat historic interior. We will be back for sure.

This place has great food. I highly recommend the prime rib sandwich for dinner. As for lunch, they have great lunch specials where you get a soup, salad and a sandwich for a great price and is a good portion. You won’t leave hungry

I’ve been around the world twice, shook everone’s hand once (joking ha ha), but for my money the prime rib sandwich on grilled rye with carmelized onions at Dagwoods in Torresdale is on a short list of the very best sandwiches in Philly! And to make it scientific, I made sure to have it at least five times now. They got it right with this sandwich. The prime rib is so tender, you don’t need your teeth. You get a small bowl of au jus with it that just takes it to another place. They don’t skimp on the rib. It’s a nice portion and well worth the $ 9.95 tag. If you find yourself in the N.E. and want a treat… GO GET THIS SAMMY! There is plenty else to rave about on this menu as well. Worth the trip folks.

Just had the Verne wings. I love them. They are delicious. I am coming back for dinner. Lots of seafood specials and prime rib.

A one only because u can’t post worst takeout dinner ever there steak lover dinner look like three turds in a takeout Tray for 21.00 dried out from sitting in the tray in kitchen while they served in house customers bad management on the owners part no supervision towards takeout or waiting customers

Great food excellent service. Draft beer nice and cold. Great live music on Friday night. Bob the bartender is awesome. The wait staff very professional and polite. Establishment very clean.

Great cheesesteaks, bartender Bob was great, made it worth coming back, excited!!!

I can’t believe that nobody has commented on how amazing their burgers are! I’m a fan of the American staple but let’s face it burgers are pretty tough to screw up, that said dagwoods has nailed it. Everything is perfect, their burgers are amazing, nuff said. I would have included a photo of the delicious burger although and don’t seem to have the patience or the willpower to snap a quick photo before I devour the burger.

When you want to feel among friends no matter what your age 21 to 101 Dagwood’s is the place to go. Even the «guy «that wears Bowling shirts is friendly! You can watch a local sports game and all cheer along high five and have fun.
Feeling more relaxed grab a table in the back and one of the amazing servers will take top notch care fo you along with serving up delish food both lunch and dinner. If it is not on the menu if they have it they will make it up for you. The chefs also make sure you are liking your meal …
This is a full service all around local place where everyone becomes a friend. Let Dagwoods hook you up with crabs!

Seems like a small town bar. Had their garlic Parmesan wings and it was good. Bartender and waitress were nice and very attentive.

I have mixed feelings for dagwoods. I love to come here once a month with my parents. I lo e the seafood and atmosphere. The soups are great, the flounder and shrimp are awesome. They cater to my mom’s gluten allergy. The service is always amazing. Recenti they changed the menu which is why I’m having a change of heart about going. They made the menu smaller and I feel like they’ve cut out a lot of the items that I used to order. Over all its still a great place to have some drinks and seafood.

Good solid food we picked up some wings and they were delicious. They were awesome on the phone. Packed lots of condiments and napkins. Wings were just the right amount if crispy!!!

Great place, and the food is incredible! Try the Verne’s wings. So good! Patrons are friendly. Staff are always very nice, with the exception of one bartender Bobby Q, wears bowling shirts all the time. Extremely rude if your not 50 or older if you catch my drift. If he’s tending when you walk in go straight to the back for a table or head to Stadium bar down the street

I stopped here on a Saturday night after we had been waiting for almost 2 hours to get a table at Three Monkeys Café. Unilocal reviews were decent, so we decided to try it out. Food was A-​OK, my friend and I had burgers and my friend’s husband had a club sandwich of some sort. No complaints really, just tasted like your typical run of the mill pub food.
Now, the only reason I gave 1 star is because of the atmosphere. After dinner, we decided to grab a seat at the bar for some drinks. OH did I mention that it took over half an hour to get our check from dinner, because they were having trouble running credit cards (they claimed their wifi was down but were able to only run 1 card and not the others??) so they then asked us to use the ATM and pay in cash! It was almost like I was being punished with ATM fees because THEIR systems weren’t working. Cool. Anyway, AFTER this whole debacle, we sat at the bar and ordered a couple beers, which the bartender/​owner gave us for free because of the ordeal we just went through. We were totally cool up until this point, when we started playing music on the jukebox, and a group of older-​aged patrons at the other end of the bar were making fun of us. To our complete shock, the bartender/​owner was CHIMING IN and laughing right along with them!!! What kind of bar OWNER does that, to brand new patrons? Not smart. We were so offended, that we promptly took back the tips we were leaving for him, and left the bar. We would have stayed and spent much more $ had the owner and his group of washed-​up parents at the other end of the bar had been more respectful and weren’t just completely making fun of us to our faces.
