The Abbaye - Philadelphia

Ran across this restaurant while walking the neighborhood. We were seated fairly quickly, but the experience went down hill from there. From the watered down drinks to horrible service. We literally sat for over an hour and never received our food, yetpeople that were seated after us not only got there food, but left and new people sat down. When we asked our waiter what theETA was on our order he kept saying a few minutes but never produced anything. Not sure how long a burger and chicken fingerstake, but it never made it to our table. We also mentioned to him that people who came after us was already eating. It was notlost on us that we were the only African Americans being served... or not. I was excited about trying their menu, butunfortunately it never happened. I wish I could give them -10000 stars for treating us black in 2022.

This place is amazing! I first stumbled upon here back in November ‘21 looking for a wing/casual spot with a visiting friend. The then-current reviews prompted us to try this place, and we were not disappointed. The wings were (and are! phenomenal. I’ve been thinking about those wings for the last two months; eventually caving and heading back there last night with another friend for more. We housed the wings, cheesesteak w/ fries and grilled cheese w/ tomato soup. The wings were just as I remembered them (crispy, temperature hot and drenched in their medium heat Buffalo sauce…ugh I’m hungry again just thinking about them! The staff is super friendly and courteous, our server was great; and the bartender was communicative while she was closing up the outside seating area; we never felt unattended to…overall we just felt welcomed, warm, slightly buzzed and full : During this unfortunate time of Covid-induced dying/failing businesses, definitely give this place a shot…they’re pumping out great food, great service and a safe and welcoming environment.

This isn’t your Uncle Tony's cheesesteak and the bartender was nice enough to point that out when we ordered. Marinated steak tips with grilled tomato, onions and swiss cheese on a baguette. Very tasty cheesesteak. The ingredients works very well together. The person making this meal cared about making a very nice meal. Very nice atmosphere. All things considered the $12 price tag may be appropriate but the Cheesesteak was pretty small. The $7 mad elf and $6 Boulevard Sourberry helped us dollar cost average down. Very good overall experience.

I am surprised that this place is not so famous! It happened to a big group, and they could take us right away. The food is amazing and affordable and the staff is friendly and attentive! I loved her mimosa towers. The room is clean.

The most hidden gem in all of Philly! Great food and drinks at reasonable prices!
