We're SERIOUS about fun food. That means despite our chill atmosphere, all our burgers and bites are hand-crafted from scratch and made-to-order. From our homemade buns to our hand-smashed 100% certified angus beef burgers, our food is meticulously hand-picked by Executive Chef Pryce Morhalo using only the freshest ingredients. We're raising the bar for casual dining. And frankly, we’re in a league of our own. Our Shoobie Shakes shook Philly. They're straight out of dream: a massive milkshake, swirled with whipped cream and fresh chocolate, rimmed with the dust of cookies or graham crackers, and topped with decadent desserts—an entire slice of cake, or a melt-in-your-mouth s’more. But these milkshakes aren’t just for kids. Our shakes deliver an unforgettable experience to cherish with someone special. Dietary restrictions? No problem. We're proud to offer a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making our dining experience exclusively inc

The whole nine, from start to finish. I am not a big restaurant guy, but loved every minute. I was with a lovely woman, so that helped😊, and maybe biased this review. She had scallops and risotto, I had lobster linguini. She had the silly, tasty, and exciting bubbly berry cocktail (feat. dry ice!), I had the pineapple picante. We were pleasantly full, so we passed on dessert, but we read the menu and enjoyed that. Everything was just about as good as I could have wanted. Food prep and delivery: fast, courteous. Scallops seared perfectly. Solid chunks of tender lobster in tomatoey sauce. Picante cocktail with perfect Scovills. Wait staff and hosts put up with my attempts at humor. It was a great way to come into town, warm up up on a cold night, smile and be taken care of.
