City Limits Seafood & Steaks — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Quick Review: one of the best, most hospitable, restaurant experiences I have had in a while, hands-down! The Southern Hospitality and customer service, attention to detail on everyone's order, delicious food and our superb waitress, Hannah truly lived up to the hype that we've been hearing about this restaurant around town 😌❤️🍛!

Long Review: from the entrance at the door, to the exit at the end of our dinning experience...Hannah and everyone at this restaurant turned what was a potentially horrible dinning experience at another restaurant, into a superbly excellent dinning experience—including a great atmosphere, prompt service, and a wide variety of delicious and well-seasoned dishes to choose from.

To give some background on the horrible restaurant we were initially at, which I will not mention by name here (you can see my other reviews to avoid it)...we arrived there and were told it was a 15 minute wait for our group of 3, which wasnt a problem–what was a problem is that we then saw both smaller and bigger groups (4 people) being walked passed us and seated, even though we arrived 1st.

After feeling like less than a priority and leaving, a couple who saw how rudely we were treated left the restaurant as well and suggested we try City Limits instead...they stated that the food and customer service was much better anyway and they were 100% right!

When I tell you that pictures cannot describe the level at which the food was seasoned and well-prepared...I am so serious! We all ordered different dishes and everything down to the appetizers were delicious 😋. Our waitress Hannah went above and beyond with making sure that we received prompt service, she paid careful attention to the food allergies of one of our guests, she suggested great dishes that we all enjoyed immensely, and she made sure everyone else in her area recieved the same quality service.

This restaurant really did make what started out as a bad experience at the previous restaurant, into a great experience at this one; and not only will we be back...but as a travel blogger who reviews restaurants and business on my vlog from all over the world, I will be sure to add this experience to my favorites, as well as bring family & friends here, who come to town often.

If you want a dinning experience where you'll not only receive a delicious variety of great food choices, but a relaxing atmosphere, friendly customer service, attentive servers, and to truly feel like a welcomed and valued customer...this place really does have it all. You will be glad you gave...

We went in with 6 people, the server came quick for our drink orders, but took about 15 minutes to bring them. We all ordered different things, the only ones really pleased were with the ribeye and alfredo (noodles only). They have 2 "options" for a steak: chopped sirloin aka a burger, or a 10 oz ribeye. Not much of a steakhouse. I opted for the chicken strips because I thought you really can't mess those up but they were horrid. No flavor or seasonings and the same breading I've seen at Chinese restaurants for their chicken. It just fell off when I picked it up. I had to ask for ranch, and the ranch appeared to be made in house, but tasted like plastic. The baked potato had more sour cream than actual potato. I didn't even ask for a to-go box for myself, I left and went to Taco Bell. It had an odd bleach smell inside. We won't be returning.

We did have a slight issue, and they offered free bread pudding, only 1 of us accepted it, everyone else was just ready to go. Nobody ever asked if we actually cared...

Our family of four was in town for the day from the Memphis area. We decided to eat at City Limits. GREAT DECISION. The ribeye special topped with blue crab was delicious, the aged ribeye was delicious, the chicken tenders and fries were delicious, and the teriyaki grilled chicken salad was, you guessed it, delicious! See the trend here? Our food was outstanding, our server was kind and attentive, and our youngest asked why we can't have a City Limits in our hometown. This is a locally owned, family business and they do a fantastic job. If you pull up and think it looks a little dated on the outside or maybe the parking lot is a little small, don't let that stop you from trying it. Plenty of menu options. A chef and crew who care about the quality of the food they make. You won't be...
