I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. My last visit (for a networking event) was at least 9 years ago... The food & ambiance was stellar then, and it still is now! Everything is still cherry and bright: the dining area, the staff, and the energy. I will certainly visit more often.

This was our first visit to Grille 3501 and we enjoyed it very much! The atmosphere was great. A few different areas to sit in. The dining room was nice, but the outside bar and table area was great! Would prefer to dine out there. Definitely will return. Our dinners were enjoyable and server was fantastic, very pleasant and professional. Didn't rush us at all and seemed to know exactly when to approach us

I’ve been here twice now. They have a vegan menu so that’s an automatic plus for me. The food is so so good. Everything from the decor to the food to the staff is wonderful. I can’t wait to go back a third time.

It was their last day of business. I will miss this gem in West Oak Lane. It was always a good time had at this neighborhood restaurant. A Black owned business that gave their community the very best‼️ Great run, Bynum brothers. Your dad, Mr. Ben, would be so proud of how you have taken his legacy to the next level and have established your family name throughout the city of Philadelphia. Thank you for the great times @ Relish🥂
