Monk's Cafe

It's just good. Three different types of mussels. Three of us. We kept going back and forth as to which one we liked best. Couldn't decide.

Also got a parpadele with mushrooms because mushrooms.

Just go.

Oh - great service too!

Amazing place. Great beer and food. A must when I am in Philadelphia. The mussels are some of my favorite

The fries even though they were burnt had more flavor then the mussels. The mussels were supposed to be a white wine garlic and there was not taste of any white wine.

What an amazing Belgium beer bar. I was a little drunk time I order the muscles but we all talked about how good they were the next day. My only complaint was it's small and really crowded but if you can get a bar stool in the back bar your golden.

Great selection of hard to find beers on tap for Decent prices. Absolutely recommend if you are into beer.

Heard really good things about this place and went to check it out. Went there for a breakfast on the weekend. Was pretty surprised to see people already lining up outside waiting for the place to open. The clock hits 11:30 and everyone rushed in to get their seat at the bar. Awesome easy going Saturday morning vibes, perfect for a laid back breakfast or brunch with family and friends. They have 3 vegan dishes on the menu, which was enough for me. It came with their famous French fries. Staff is nice and knowledgeable, beer was excellent with a great selection of beers on draft. I can see why people love this place.

Came here on during dinner time on a Friday and only had to wait 15-20 mins for a seat of 4. This was an amazing place for food and beer. Customer service was a bit slow for our table but everything was great.
Beer: I got the Dupont Belgian beer and it was darker than I would like.
Food:
Thai curry Mussels - it was delicious. A little pricy but we'll worth the try. Came with fries and the sauce for the fries were amazing! The Thai curry was really light and I could not really notice it much, but definitely gave it flavor.
Burger - I got the mushroom cheese burger medium rare, and it was delicious. My only complaint was that it had too much bread and not enough patty for the whole bun to fill. Still a juicy and delicious burger that I would get again. The fries again were included and was delicious! The sauce is where it's at!!!

Overall, great food. Some changes to make it a 10/10 experience.

We love this place and go back whenever we can. The food is fantastic. The mussels and frites delicious. An unsurpassed beer menu.

Despite that space is usually near standing-room, the servers manage to get through and get you what you need.

A rare 5* from me, but worth reviewing and sharing. This is an ultimate trip for a beer fan, and there is no doubt this is one of America's finest places to have one. I did opt for a draft of monks own Flemish sour, which is fantastic and pairs well with the Ghent mussels. The mussels came served hot, with delicious liquor to soak up with bread at the end. Truly an experience a midwesterner may experience in the US but once in a lifetime. Happy to knock it off the bucket list, and I'm not hyping it up, it is legitimately that good and the food was wonderful.

Food is excellent. Fries are some of best I've ever had. The place is packed and very noisy. Beer is overpriced but I guess they get away with it. Highly recommend a visit. Beer portion is small, like in Belgium.
