    This place is poppin’ with the outdoor seating, but the atmosphere was wonderful inside for our meal. We had an assigned table from our reservation and were seated immediately. The food came out delicious and was inhaled within minutes! I HIGHLY suggest the homefries, but if you ask for a “side” of homefries it’ll be a full bowl. Either way, scrumptious.

    Good food,, willing to modify when asked, excellent service,. Salmon dish was wild salmon. We took a a friend for her birthday. The server put our cake in the refrigerator and served it with a candle while singing Happy Birthday. We sat in a booth on Fitzwater Street which was comfortable and quiet.

    I made a reservation to eat in an outside booth. I was glad to be outside as it was very noisy inside. The food was delicious and I will be going back.

    Sat outside in the lovely weather. Server took a while to come, but that was fine. Solid bloody marys. Had the potato stack and the waffle. Both were quite tasty. Food came out before the drinks. Ordered a second round which was also delayed. Service was friendly but sparse. I’d go back for the food and the affordable pricing.

    Server was awesome. Host was flexible with our delay due to Taylor Swift weekend (although I know it can be tricky). Food came out quickly and was great quality. Fantastic espresso martini. Don’t live in Philly, so recommended this place to my friends who do. 5/5 stars!!!

    I had not seen my cousin in over 50 years and I chose Hawthorne's because I had a very decent meal and wonderful service there. Well, the service was outstanding!!! My ccousin and I stayed there from 11:30 a.m. through 7 p.m.---chatting away. (We did order food!) The server was wonderful- came over to ask if we were ok or wanted something else and brought us a carafe of cold water. I cannot praise Hawthorne's or its staff enough!

    I had two meals at Hawthornes this weekend while in town to see a show nearby. I had a lovely lunch on Saturday enjoying blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos and also the Salmon Risotto. Both were delicious and the staff could not have been nicer and so accommodating. I was back for brunch on Sunday and had a breakfast sandwich that was fabulous and their cocktails were wonderful! I can't wait to go back next time I'm in the city!

    I always enjoy coming to Hawthornes. The food is good and I usually can find a booth outside to sit in. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to book a table inside. The booths outside have a heat lamp that keeps the space pretty warm on cold days!

    Great food and drinks as always here. We usually sit at the bar even though we book a table. We got a nice table. I’d give it five stars but our server seemed like she didn’t like us and that was weird because we were very friendly.

    We stopped here for a late lunch/early dinner before a sporting event. Loved the atmosphere. A great neighborhood spot with a festive vibe. Our only complaint was the music was way too loud, especially for midday. The fish tacos were spectacular - they had a nice kick to them with great accompaniments. I appreciated that the dish also included a side salad. Friends had the breakfast burrito and salad with salmon - both highly enjoyed them. My husband had the falafel sandwich - he thought it was just ok. But the desserts were amazing - waffle sundae (wow!!!) and warm brownie. Our server was attentive and very sweet. We were very pleased with our choice to visit Hawthorne’s!

    Been here a couple times now, always a good experience, food is quality, nice ambience, big screen to watch the games, staff and owner/manager will do their best to make sure everything is a good experience and serve their customers. Would recommend and will be going back. Recommend the tots, pizza, chicken sandwich.

    Warm neighborhood place with great though small beer selection, same on wine, good food, and great service. Seating charming indoors and outside also, and it looks like they've been able to keep their semi-permanent outdoor streetery booths with roofs while other places have not. Multiple generations clearly enjoying at the same time. Parking was easy nearby. Highly recommend.

    We visited Hawthornes for brunch in their heated outdoor booths. We brought our dog along and they couldn't have been more accommodating! They brought him a bowl of water and gave him plenty of pets! The food and coffee was outstanding, I had the green goddess omelet, and hubby had the french toast. We had bloody marys as well...and they were excellent! We will be back for sure!

    Yummy food. Great ambiance. Service was not attentive but very friendly. The coffee was gosh awful. Used to be some of the best. They are not brewing the beans appropriately. Tasted like burnt garbage. But espresso drinks were yum.

    My partner and I ate brunch outside. We've been to Hawthorne's a time or two and we've always enjoyed it, but after ordering $11 mimosas that were brought to us in tiny plastic cups and having smaller-than-expected portions, we might not go again for a while. Not a bad meal overall, but paying a total of almost $70 for a meal for 2 just didn't seem worth it.
