    Hey Center City - do you have lunch plans? You do now! Let’s Do Lunch, Center City is the perfect excuse to take a break from the workday and grab a bite with your favorite coworker, work bestie, or client. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from June 24 through August 14, participating restaurants across Center City are offering two-course lunches for two people for just $30. That means family-style apps or dessert and individual entrees at full-service spots, cafés, and even fast-casual favorites. I checked out Topside Tavern and it was the ideal midday pick-me-up. Rooftop views, friendly staff, and delicious bites - yes please! I loved the grill on my Grilled Chicken Sandwich, my friend’s had a great char on her Shrimp Salad, and splitting a brownie for dessert was the best! Whether you’re catching up with a colleague or planning a break from emails and meetings, this is such a fun way to switch up your lunch routine. So come on - grab your work bestie and say Let’s Do Lunch, Center City! Whenever you go for your weekday lunch, be sure to tell ‘em PFAB sent ya! Multiple participating restaurants but I went to Topside Tavern: 📍10 South 20th Street Philadelphia PA 19103📍 Thanks so much @centercitydistrict @topsidetavernphilly ❤️

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Topside Tavern shines with its "great service" and "good food," making it a popular spot for reunions and sports events. The "lamb chops are so flavorful and tender," and the atmosphere is lively, especially on the roof deck. While some service and reservation issues were noted, the tavern's overall experience is enjoyable.

    I made a reservation for the roof deck and, when we arrived, was was told it would not be open for another 45 minutes. The server told me Open Table does not allow for the restaurant to fix this. You should not be able to make reservations for the roof when it is closed. Very disappointing on such a nice day.

    I’m in a birthday group and we absolutely love meeting for lunch at Topside Tavern. The food and service is very good, as well as the value! Actually, we’ve been there twice this year and are planning to meet up at Topside Tavern in a couple of weeks. Guess we really like Topside Tavern.

    I reserved a table for 11:00 and arrived to a closed restaurant. I had to pivot quickly in front of colleagues on the sidewalk to save my business lunch.

    Went for brunch on a Sunday for a pre birthday celebration with my family. We were the only people there for an Drinks were good. We got mimosas, expresso martini and coffee. You can only get your coffee black no cream. Service was okay for it to only be one person for the host and he was also the waiter. The menu sounds delicious but taste horrible like they cooked everything on an unclean grill. We got the blueberry pancakes, brunch burger and the crab cakes. Everything taste the same. Burnt. Overall 3/10
