North Third

It’s an okay neighborhood bar. They have a nice front bar and plenty of outdoor seating, which definitely makes this a cool summer spot.
A couple friends and I came here for dinner one night and we sat inside, towards the back. The voodoo theme is interesting, and it’s dark, but enough for you to see.
Our waitress was OK… seemed a bit off. Not rude per say, but we could tell she didn’t seem too happy that night — maybe it was just a long night. The drinks here are pretty standard, nothing special, but not in a bad way.
For vegetarians, beware, the menu is limited. Minus apps and salad, there aren’t any true entrees and sandwiches for dinner. I got the flatbread special and it was fine — edible, but nothing to rave about.
Overall, given the lack of veggie options on the menu, I probably won’t be back for dinner, but I’ll definitely be back to grab a drink at the bar with friends and/​or try their brunch.

When a place This Good Exist with Continued Great Efforts of Perfection the only thing U Need to Say Is…5 Stars Plus

I’ve been hearing about this place for years and had yet to try. I’m so glad I decided to stop in during Beer Week.
The décor is by far my favorite– extra dark, but not divey. Sultry lighting (and paintings) plus lots of voodoo/​Day of the Dead type feels going on in there. It was almost too dark to read my menu, but I would deff make this a nighttime drinking hangout spot.
I didn’t have any problem with service– our server was super helpful and accommodating.
For a starter, we ordered their side special of the day which was the fried green tomatoes: delicious. Very crunchy and thin and flavorful. The dipping aioli was good, but a little too smoky to be paired with that– something acidic would have worked better.
For entrees, we got the Moroccan lamb burger & fries, the salmon platter and a large appetizer order of buffalo wings.
They didn’t ask how I wanted my burger cooked, but it came out a perfect medium anyway (I’m guessing you can’t really control lamb temperature all that easily). Overall, it was a decent burger, but I’ve had better. The bun held up nicely and the feta cheese and arugula were a nice touch. But the tzatziki was on the side (I had to smother the bun on it since it really needed some moisture) and the Moroccan seasoning was not noticeable, so it ended up tasting like a regular burger. Fries were great– really crunchy and salty.
Salmon platter smelled and looked delicious (and was, according to my guest).
The wings… BANGIN’. Super spicy, but oh so crispy and vinegary — one of the best buffalo wings I’ve had in recent past. I would come back just for those and maybe opt for the thai chili glaze instead.
I didn’t pay attention to the regular drink menu because I was focused on the beer week specials. This week they had a local, featured brewery called Captain Lawrence and the brewer/​owner was actually there rounding the tables. I got a Belgian wheat golden ale, which actually tasted like a sour and was absolutely amazing. The other beers we tried were also very, very good but that was my favorite.
Overall, I will absolutely be back here if I’m in the area and I would love to try brunch since I hear wonderful things.
Oh! And the pear cobbler dessert was SO good and gigantic.

One of the hidden gems in the city of Philadelphia, if you like great food and intimate atmosphere this is a must dine for a great price

I have nothing negative to say about this place. Been here a few times over the years, most recently for a dinner out with some guys after a Phis game/​bachelor party. This place is a pleasant experience through and through. Great wings (don’t leave without ordering the Thai wings at least), great entrees (fish and chips or burger), and a nice drink menu. Service is great. Our hostess and waiter took care of us immediately and provided attentiveness throughout the evening. The atmosphere is relaxing and Bohemian, with great art adorning the walls. Ambiance is nice too; candlelit tables and good music playing. Hope to be back soon.

The American burger was perfect– one of the best burgers I’ve ever had– particularly because the last bite of it still had the perfect burger to bun to cheese and bacon ratio. All the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Anyone can make a decent burger but you know it’s superb when you and your date are still talking about it hours later. Fries are on point too!

Love North Third.
Whenever I am in Philly we stop by North Third.
Te staff/​ownership is great, they remember your face and treat you well.
The décor is a little funky, but it totally works in the back bar/​dining area. The scene of ppl is a good mix and a pretty eclectic group.
The food is phenomenal. Everything from the starters to desserts you can’t miss. I’ve had brunch here too and that was also delicious.
Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Best wings in the world hands down. As someone who recently left the area, north third wings are one of things that I miss most about philadelphia.
You can find good wings in most cities, but none compare to North Third’s

What makes north third so great? First is the people my friend. The BEST service around exemplifies this place. Friendly and on point but always relaxed. The food is just plain delicious. I wish I could tell you what’s best and what you should order, but it really doesn’t matter. It’s ALL good! I have to make myself walk by to try something else different because it’s easy to go in multiple times a week. 5 stars all the way.

I’ve been coming to North Third for years. The first time, in 2008 or so, myself and the other 3 members of my party unanimously decided that it was far and away the best burger we’ve ever had. While every return visit has proven that their burgers are in fact very good, I’ve been a little disappointed in small changes they continue to make. Since the first time, it is clear they are not using as high quality cut of meat as they originally had. The price also seems to have crept up a bit, which is understandable. But the size of the burger and the amount of fries they serve have continuously shrunk. While I still love the place, they are making it less and less of a destination with these changes.

Don’t waste your time. Go somewhere else! If I could give zero stars, I would. I hope the management or owner there will read this review and hopefully find a way to improve on the service.
After 20 minutes of being seated, we never saw a server. The hostess, however, kept looking over at our table. My date and I decided to just get up and go somewhere else.
It was only when we got up to leave that the hostess came over to ask if we were ok. We told her we decided to go somewhere else. To which she only replied, «Ok, enjoy the rest of your evening.»
Clearly, you do not care about your patrons. We did not get an explanation as to why our server never showed up and the hostess didn’t even bother to apologize.
It might have been understandable if the restaurant was super packed and busy, but that was not the case.
What was also sad was that a table that got seated way after us got service before we did.
Sadly, we won’t be coming back to this place.

Our server wasn’t the greatest, and that was kind of a mood killer for me. However, the bus boys were nice and very attentive. They came over to check on us more than our server. Anyways, the place had a very nice ambiance but it’s a little dark for my taste. Also, there’s a lot of vulgar paintings on the wall, if you’re into that.
Food wise: we only ordered the calamari and mussels with curry. The calamari was very bland and the mussels were also just alright. We didn’t even bother to order more food.
Alcohol: we only ordered the «pitcher» of mojito, which was not a pitcher but in a shaker and served only about 3 drinks. Btw, I could barely taste any alcohol in the mojito, aka, it sucked.
We had to jump to another bar after that. I wouldn’t return for dinner, but I do still want to try their brunch.

This is my second time here. Tonight I only ordered two sides and it was larger than two full meals. I ordered fries which were crisp and salty in a huge bowl with spicy mayo. Not a single complaint. Then I had baked mac and cheese (yes it’s a side). I paid about $ 5 for each for such huge portions of good quality. The service has always been quick. Lastly, if you are a chicken wing person come here. The wings are very crispy and have two great selections for sauce. Yay No Libs!

Great little restaurant in northern libs. It’s a mix of good bar food fused with savory deliciousness. The atmosphere is laid back but with hilarious artwork. We sat in front of a picture of breasts, which we thought was hilarious. For food we tried the truffle cauliflower and fries to start out, both were delicious. We also tried the wings which were pretty okay (I’m very particular though). We got the special house sauce which was a pretty good buffalo sauce, but our friends got the Asian sauce and loved it. All in all, this place is a nice casual restaurant that accommodates large groups if needed and we were all content with our meals!

Love this spot!
I’m normally one to write a long winded review, but for once I’ll keep it short and to the point.
Service, friendly, and with a smile.
The crispy chicken sandwhich is my favorite.
The burg is the bf’s favorite.
Wash it down with a cold beer on tap — you can’t go wrong.
Outdoor seating/​opening of the long doors in the nicer weather — and you got a combination that keeps me and the bf coming back.
Prices are great for the area too.
Never had brunch here, but may have to force myself to wake up in time to head on over.
The only downside of this joint — is the parking… good luck, you’ll probably circle around for a bit.
I thankfully haven’t come into any of the rude hostesses that people have described, I certainly hope I never do either!

These place never disappoints. We’ve been going to north third since before is was cool lol. We went tonight after the Christmas activities in center city. I had the Thai chili wings, they are to die for. They truly are amazing, probably the best ever. I also had the fish taco which is also very very good. The atmosphere is great as well as the service. It was a nice night to sit outside so we did. Always great beers on tap, we will be back again.

Philadelphia Go To!
My best friend bitches at me because I eat here… pretty much every week.
With it’s, spunky décor, ever changing on tap beers, interesting & delish food, North 3^rd has it all. It’s also HUGE, way bigger than it seems on the outside. Whatever you want — BRUNCH DINNER DRINKS.
North 3^rd is located in Northern Liberties. And I apologize for all the Northern Liberties based reviews… it’s where I live. They have some outdoor seating and a ton of seating indoors, so don’t be afraid to take some larger parties here. The décor is spunky, however the back area is Nude Women themed with a specific focus in breasts. That being said, it is very tasteful & artistic, but if you have younger children, or someone in your party that is offended by graphic nudity, I would ask to be seated in the front room. Just an fyi.
The food.
My go to here is drinks and apps. I love their mussels (I have gotten all 3 flavors, try the Thai, it wouldn’t disappoint). Their brunch is good and basic, with a variety of alcoholic morning drinks. I think their dinner is better than their brunch with daily changing specials and an interesting mix of foods. All very good.
The service.
Friendly! But some better than others. I’ve had waiters here that take time to talk with you and go over the menu & remember you time and again when you come in. Then there are some that just serve you your food. Overall, this is a neighborhood bar and the bartenders/​waiters are welcoming and more than willing to chat with you.
The atmosphere.
Like mentioned above, very spunky and well decorated. But DARK. This place is DIM… like you need to take our your iPhone flashlight to read the menu if you go after the sun sets. Maybe not a good idea for an older crowd? I know my dad would be grumbling about that.
The recommendation.
— Dinners & drinks with friends (small or large crowds, whatever!)
— Lazy Weekend Brunch
— Large Family Dinner/​Brunch (in the front room)
— 1^st Date/​Dates

Okay so I really really love north 3^rd but unfortunately don’t think I’ll be going back, ever. The staff there just isn’t educated enough about the preparation of their food.
When I asked our waitress what on the menu was gluten free her response was «the wings, salads and everything else is self explanatory». I wish it were that simple. Needless to say, I ended up getting something she had said to be GF and wasn’t.
Not only did I get sick but the whole experience wasn’t pleasant. We went in kind if late but it was well before closing and I still felt like she was not happy to have us there. I have really high standards for North 3^rd not only because of their excellent food, but their location. I would think being in such a trending area that their staff would be a little more up to date and in a better mood.

We were very impressed with our dinner at North 3^rd. The space has a funky, eclectic vibe that could be tacky but isn’t. We came around 6:00 on a Sunday night and we were seated right away. By the time we left the place was fairly filled up.
Service was great all night. The food came out surprisingly fast. We had the Beet Salad and Vegetable Spring rolls to start with. The salad had a very nice Red Wine Vinaigrette dressing. The spring rolls were excellent and not oily. The dipping sauce was perfect.
For entrees we had the Moroccan Spiced Lamb burger, the Hanger Steak and the Crispy Atlantic Salmon. All three dishes were winners and had good flavors. The hanger steak sauce and French fries were killing me. I was making a semi Poutine out of them. The curry and garlic spinach with the Salmon were also excellent. The lamb burger was nice also and came with Tzatzki sauce. I would order any of these 3 dishes again.
For dessert we had some sort of chocolate chip bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. This was so good we almost ordered another one for the three of us.
North 3^rd has a decent beer on tap selection and also a full bar. It is also pretty reasonable. Without drinks, dinner can be under $ 20.00 for some good quality food. I was able to find parking easily near by. We will definitely be back.

This place is never disappointing from the management, service, to the food/​drinks.
Rob the manager and Jack the server were awesome tonight!
You must try the wings for starters, which they’re known for. But if they have the honey chicken sandwich and the Kobe burger w special sauce you must get those. Everything else on their regular menu is just as good too!
