North third is a favorite of ours in Northern Liberties. We decided to try it out for brunch one day and were shocked at how good all the food was. I got the Roasted Pear Pancakes I think and they were to die for... and my partner got a plain caesar salad with chicken and we were amazed at how good a Caesar salad could be. They put kale and romaine in it and idk something about both greens and the dressing ratio was 10/10. Went back a few weeks later and had the biscuits and gravy and wow were they good. Dinner is great too, the food and drinks are just so damn good and pretty affordable compared to others in the area. Would recommend!!!

I have been to North Third for dinner before (amazing), but this was my first time for brunch - it was equally amazing, maybe even better! I had Bee's Breakfast Croissant. It was amazing. Sometimes a croissant can't hold a sandwich well but this one did. I also didn't realize this came with the gravy fries, which typically at other places I am not a fan of, but here they were delicious. My wife got something else that I can't remember but here's a pic. She liked it too I'm pretty sure since this is on the list for us to return to! The service was very fast and attentive. Never an empty glass waiting for a fresh beer. The ambiance is also one of my favorites. It's the homey bar you've been looking for. As Beyoncé put it - this is "dive bar we always thought was nice", or something of the likes. Love this place. Also this was the first place I have ever had clam chowder that wasn't in a can but that was a couple years ago. Very good stuff.

4.5 stars here. I wish Yelp would allow fractions. A cute interior. Friendly and laid back space with a handful of booths along the perimeter and tables in the middle. Our server was decent. The menu is not massive but some creative and fresh dishes and a couple daily specials. A handful of craft beer draft options with wine and a full bar. My crab cake sandwich (special) was quite good as was my wife's seasonal salad. Beers were fresh and we were not rushed after finishing our meals. I would gladly return if in the area.

First time eating brunch here and it did not disappoint! I got the breakfast burrito - it was filled to the brim, full of flavor, crispy on the outside, and had great toppings. Breakfast potatoes hit too. All around good service, waiter was very patient when we took forever to decide what we wanted. Place was clean and casual vibe.

I stopped in for a quick lil bite and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I was told that the Thai wings were really good and opted to try that as well as mussels with red sauce. Let's be clear, I'm a very picky eater when it comes to mussels but these were so good. Even the red sauce, I was so happy it was accompanied with a dinner roll because I was able to dip it in the sauce and enjoy it even more. The wings also didn't disappoint but I was just so shocked at how good the mussels were. The service wasn't bad either. Our waitress was very friendly and even joked around with us a little bit. I really loved the vibe of this restaurant and would totally come back and try it again.

North 3rd has been good for two decades. Cocktails are made with care. Fries are excellent. Salads are carefully composed with good ingredients. All those things add up to make a restaurant that is reliably good. Each time I go, I'm reminded of how much I like it and make a note to come more often. I like that they offer outdoor seating. Happy hour deals are good. Beer list is good. I like their burger but I can also go and enjoy a vegetarian meal. The ambience is that of a bustling neighborhood pub. They take reservations but have a lot of seating if you just drop in. It's easy to overlook them for the hot new eatery, but North Third is worth making plans for.

Great food and drinks! Happy hour 4-6 with great food specials, and the outdoor seating is awesome when the weather is nice! The Mac and cheese (side) is bomb - usually big enough to split between 2-3 or keep all to yourself! I am not usually a fan of buffalo, but the Buffalo tempura cauliflower is a must. We were a little disappointed with the pierogis and the eggplant fries - both were pretty bland and could've used a little more salt or seasoning. Also a big fan of the fried chicken sandwich!

Visited my sister last weekend in Philly. We were looking for brunch options, and based on my Yelp search, this place popped up with great reviews. I made a reservation online, but I'm sure a walk-in would have been fine as well! The hostess was nice. We got seated in the back. Our server, Alyssa, was great. I wanted more lunch food versus breakfast. I got the honey dip chicken sandwich with a generous helping of fries, and it was really good. My sister had the omlette and she enjoyed it. I tried the hibiscus mezcalrita, and it was pretty good. There's a full bar! I like that they change their menu daily! When visiting Philly, I'll come back : )
