Great beer and food Nodding Head Brewery and Restaurant is a great place for both food and beer. They have great fresh brewed beer and American classics. I love ordering their burgers with a glass of frosty. The food portions are large and very tasty.

Great beers, good fare, speakeasy ambience and a slim bill all add up to a pleasant brewpub. – In Short Despite its eye-catching blue sign and bright red front door, this upstairs brewpub still feels like a secret spot. The dimly lit, narrow stairway delivers after-work patrons into the middle of a lively tavern scene. Start with a steaming pot of mussels--catch cumin-spiced Moroccan style if you can--with a basket of tiny brown fries. Best bet for entrees: grilled salmon with lime butter, hearty vegan polenta with flavorful... read more

Right on Target – If Nodding Head were a round of darts, it would score a few bulls eyes. Not only are the darts fun with a few home brewed beers, but the jukebox rocks, the mussels and fries are delcious, the crowd is friendly, and best of all the staff has zero attitude...that's a first for Philly. The cute "Nodding Head" collectible dolls on display also add to the charm and ambience of this local watering hole.

Take it or leave it – While I admit that I left Nodding Head with a satisfied stomach there isn't much more to write about the place. My boyfriend and I went for a Monday lunch and both ordered burgers and beer - he enjoyed his beer and so did I, but the food was nothing to write home about. While the french fries are probably homemade, the burgers are run of the mill.

ok burgers, awesome fries... – Everyone raves about the burger, so i had to drop by and try it. It's not too bad (i had better), but the fries were freakin' GOOD! Not the fries itself, but the dippin' sauce. It was a Sunday, so they had live jazz band.

Mixed – During the day, this place is great. The service is dynamite and very very friendly. At night, this place blows. Avoid it like the plague. The food is slow. The service is rude. And it's ridiculously loud. The sandwiches are very good and the fries are excellent. The bartender during the day is a pip (that's a compliment). Go for lunch. You won't be dissapointed.

nod the hed – Nodding Head is one of my favorite pubs in the city. Tasty beer, great food, reasonable prices. One of the very few pubs that actually brews their own. Usually you can find a table pretty easily, though it gets inexplicably crowded sometimes. Yes, their policy of not letting you sit at the tables unless you're ordering food does suck. And yes, they have an occasional "off" night where the food or service is subpar. But on the whole, after maybe 20+ visits, I like this place.

Nodding my Head "No" – I celebrated my friend's birthday with 12 people here a few hours ago. It took forever to be seated. We waited at the overly crowded bar and had 60 Shilling beer. It took the waiter about 30 minutes to get us our drinks. Then we gave our orders and it took even longer to receive them. We had Sample Starters; tasty but very oily. I had Fish and Chips (God Save the Queen!). Everything was overcooked. I was losing my appetite since it took so darn long to get our order. I asked for a drink and didn't rece... read more
