Dilladelphia

I'm a bit confused with this place. I think they are suffering from some type of Identity crisis. Dilladelphia? It's been operating under the new name/concept for over 6 months yet still using Sports Legends menus, which was the previous restaurant at this location. Also they have the Lucky Dill name on their signage yet nothing even closely related. And with a name like "Dilladelphia", why isnt there a signal pickle related item on the menu? The food, personally speaking, was mediocre at best and from the faces of other customers around me, I can only assume they were underwhelmed as well. During my visit I heard several other tables of customers complaining about similar things. One table was quite disappointed because they chose this place because it says Lucky Dill on the building and when they asked the hostess it was explained that they are not a Lucky Dill bit they are owned by them, which seems very misleading. They were clearly disappointed when they asked if it was a similar menu, told no and handed the old Sports Legends menu with several items crossed out with black marker. I'm literally at this very moment watching several tables of confused and disappointed customers trying to salvage their dinner experience. Idk, but the owners, I think they have a serious misguided business plan that is clearly biting them in the pickle. 😉

First and foremost: when I left the restaurant and walked around back to my hotel, I seen the kitchen staff smoking weed and did not even try to hide it. 12/15/18 around 5pm. So drug test your staff and hire short order cooks that want a job and send out quality. Poor service, the wedge salad was actually a head of lettuce cut in half and not even cored. When I asked the server, he replied, Oh that’s not the very best kind is it. Then walked away. Wings were good, plenty meaty and dusted nice. Finally got the bill and the server said, sorry I forgot about you and handed the bill. Short term memory I guess.

To say that this place is a disappointment would be an extreme understatement. The signage out front leads you to believe that it is a new location of the local treasure, the Lucky Dill Deli. Not Even Close! None of the menu items remotely resembled food choices at even an average deli. Several of the food choices had been blackened out with a Sharpie. We were told that Dilladelphia was started by a cousin of the owners of the Lucky Deal Deli. No doubt hoping to trade on the good name and reputation of the Lucky Dell Deli. It was like the opening to the TV show Restaurant Impossible. the hostess and wait staff were very unprofessional. The service was agonizingly slow to nonexistent. The kitchen staff was very far behind. The food is mediocre and overpriced. If this is the best they can do after 6 months of transition, there is little to no hope that this establishment will be a success. The the restaurant is having an identity crisis. It can't decide whether it wants to be a sports bar or a deli and it is bad at both of these. It is extremely loud even for a sports bar which was surprising since the majority of patrons were seniors. There was only one table of boisterous thirty something women and it sounded like there were 100. As a deli, it's just pathetic. It should have been a clue when the restaurant was half empty (11 or 12 open tables) on a Friday night before the Phillies season opener. Unless there is a miracle overnight, there are going to be a lot of aggravated fans hoping to get lunch on game day. I suggest eating elsewhere.

We had 5 people in our group. First the name throws you, not a Lucky Dill!!!! Second, Came in with a toddler, had to stand for 5 minutes before I found someone to get me a high chair. Waitress was nice but service was terrible. Drinks came, and food came a hour later cold and they forgot to to cook one of our meals. Some guy (who knows who he was) came out and apologized and said he would take two meals off of our bill along with $30.….. nope $27 came off our bill and then they charged us for the meal THEY forgot to cook. The waitress came over while we were looking over the bill and threw her hand out and said "Ill take that now"! I was shocked! She couldn't even wait for us to look at our bill!!!! NEVER going back and see a grim future for this business. They were NOT busy and everyone around us came, ate, and left before we got our food.

I came here for the pickles, but left with disappointment. I was very excited for a pickle-centric restaurant, but they don't even have fried pickles on the menu. Kind of ridiculous. I mean, the food was okay, but not good enough to come back. It's really unfortunate, my expectations were really high. We ordered two Philly cheesesteaks and it took at least 20 minutes to get our food, there were literally only two other tables there.

I loved the atmosphere. My husband and I sat at bar. It was our first time there. It took it a few minutes to be greeted. And there were only like 4 other couples at bar. Our drinks were great. Bartenders friendly. But our fries came out cold, the chicken in our fajitas was like leather. Im the manager of a restaurant and understand that things happwn and cant always come out great. Just think it should be recognized by management. I didnt want anything for free . Just wanted good, hot food... We will not be back and hope your experience is better.

Dilladephia was off to a shaky start... some confusion because we were handed 2 menus, one from the old Legends Sports bar and a new one, with no explanation. Then we found out that they didn't have some of the beers and desserts listed on the new menu. The service was good, though our server seemed forgetful. Cheesesteak was very good. Fries were dry. Wings were fantastic... interesting sauce choices (I chose garlic and parmesan), large, meaty, and tender. I loved that the wings could be grilled instead of fried. We liked the cheesecake. Stayed for Thursday night trivia... fun, personable guy in charge...won a free beer for most points one round!
