Local 44 Restaurant & Bar

I ordered takeout from the Bottle Shop and got the Local44 Burger platter with fries and green salad! Meat was cooked just right(medium well), tasty home cut fries, good fresh salad.
Awesome staff and atmosphere.
Cant wait to eat in the restaurant upon return!

Hipster sports bar in the nicer part of west Philly.
The decor is decent and there's plenty of seating in and out.
The food is a crapshoot.
I've had the best and worst of every mainstay item.
Stay away from specials, idk if the cooks make them up or if they're told what they are but they never have enough time to learn how to make it decent enough that it's worth serving.
Some of the servers are absolutely wonderful, some of the servers are there to make a check.
I used to be a weekly, sometimes multiple times a week visitor, now I only go if it's late and no other decent local options open.

So I’ve been here twice and gotten worldly different experiences.
The first, burger was awesome and we enjoyed coming here so much we decided to come back again… The second experience.
No.
Just No.
Never.
Nope.
Bleh.
We brought a friend with us and ordered two burgers and a banh mi.
The burgers were just not even the same.
Flavor, texture, and quality weren’t there.
But the banh mi, wow it’s just so damn bad.
So much bread, few cheap slices of deli ham, no radish, odd mustard, and coleslaw?!? Has anyone from this restaurant even had a banh mi or was it something they saw once on food network so they used the name?? Also, a small piece of burnt fry was in the sandwich… Overall, I am averaging the scores and rounding up.
Only reason it’s 3 stars not 2.
