Johnny B's - Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania

Jan K.

After a recent recommendation from a trusted source, I bumped this up on my list. It was pretty close, and I'm a sucker for a cheeseteak I can enjoy with a Tullamore Dew (or two) and a draft. Delco usually comes through.

My usual dining companion, Azi and I split a "Steele" steak (ribeye and Cooper) and a brisket steak (pulled brisket with Cheddar and Cooper.) Fried onions on both (nicely cooked.)

Azi preferred the brisket (which I attribute to his Jewish heritage) while I thought the ribeye had an edge. Quite frankly, you can't lose with either. Unfortunately, Johnny Bs is a casualty of Conshohocken Bakery's closing, but the Aversa substitute went the distance. Soft, with little crunch, the buttering and toasting elevated it several notches.

The beef was lightly seasoned, and both the brisket and ribeye are locally sourced grass-fed versions. I especially enjoyed the sear on the ribeye. Only in Delco can one find so unpretentious a "gastropub." Sammies were $15.

Anyway, superb service in a chill bar, and unique steaks at a very fair price. This goes into regular rotation.

Super kind staff, pimento cheesesteak is incredible, maybe the best cheesesteak I've ever had, definitely recommend!

Went in about a month or two ago for the first time to watch the Eagles game, they had them on a few televisions, and other NFL games on other screens around the bar, which I appreciate as a young guy who’s into fantasy football. Drinks were cheap, people were nice, great atmosphere, it was noticeably clean. Went back in for the second time a week later, yet again to watch the Eagles and a fella that works there named Burke sat beside me and we chatted for about a half hour where he mentioned that he remembered me from last time and told me “welcome to the family”. Things like that tend to mean a lot in 2024 when it’s hard to find a sense of community in Delco. Extremely pleasant experience, so I decided to visit again the Sunday after, and this time ordered food. I ordered a bacon jam burger off the menu, and I won’t lie, I was expecting typical mediocre bar food until the bartender asked me how I wanted it done. So I ordered it done medium and got a perfect medium burger. Matter of fact THE BEST burger I’ve had in an extremely long time, I might even argue the best burger in Delco. I mean I was just floored at how good the food was and since then have tried a few different menu items and have yet to be even slightly disappointed. You cannot go wrong with this place, there’s not a single downside. From the friendly, attentive bartending staff, to the meticulously prepared food in the kitchen, or even the dope copper bar top inside. 10/10 this is my new spot for sure. If you’re trying to choose between them and their other two competitors at the intersection of Garrett rd and Burmont rd, this place smokes them by a long mile, and there’s no questions about it. Go Birds!

Parking is a bit rough but decent bar. People who work there seem very nice with good customer service. Will definitely be back soon!

Visiting from Ireland recently I stopped in to try this establishment out. I was very impressed by the welcome we received from Mike and the food was superb! Next time I'm back in the Philly area I intend to pop in again. Top class!@!

Highly recommend. One of the Best cheesesteaks I’ve had. I got the Steele cheesesteaks. The cheese tastes pretty delicious with the steak. I ordered a full steak however was full from just 1/2 the sandwich. I’ll definitely be trying more stuff from this spot. Very friendly staff as well.

I want to be able to give this place 5 stars, cannot. Cheesesteak was very good. Wings were a quality product, not little factory farmed wings like most places have. Problem was the smoking, meat was dry and the skin was rubber, basically inedible. They didn't give me any blue cheese dressing, so I have dry rubbery wings and celery, but nothing to dip them in. Sad.

Food and service are fantastic. Got the brisket cheesesteak and the potato wedges and both were phenomenal. It's a bar, so the atmosphere isn't a 5 Star restaurant, but clean and friendly. Will definitely be back!
