“ We stopped in to Benny the Bum's crab house & bar while here in Philadelphia. Always one of our favorite restaurants, we really looked forward to dining there again. So my wife chose the fried shrimp with broccoli and sautéed spinach while my pick was the fried shrimp with broccoli and seasoned fries. The food was piping hot coming out of the kitchen but the smell and the taste of it made the whole dining experience well worth it. The menu items have stayed pretty much the same but it was priced higher than what it was from the last time we ate here. Always great food and service at any price! So glad we went back. ”
“ Local restaurant that I never noticed and wouldn't give much looking from the outside. But the food is delicious and the staff were friendly. The food arrived quickly and to be quite honest it tasted far better than expected. Will most likely be returning. Ps. Try the caramelized salmon! Absolutely delicious! ”
