"Highly Recommend! The Goats Beard in Manayunk has been our favorite restaurant for years."
"Staff friendly, space was beautiful, country chic."
"Great table service."
"We had a short period of time to eat before going to a show and our waitress made sure we were able to get in and out quickly."
"The staff was friendly and the service was prompt."
"Really good service ..manager friendly and knowledgeable."
Cons:
"Terrible service. Condiments delivered when meal was more than half done."
"Was seated quickly, and then we waited, and waited, and waited..."
"However, one manager (bald guy) was very unprofessional and urged his staff to encourage our group (multiple unfinished drinks and food) to leave while there were many open tables."
"We were also informed of a large party that was scheduled to arrive around one o'clock... the party set up became a distraction for our waitress."
"The service wasn't very good."
"Our server was very hard to track down and when she did come by she never cleared our plates or refilled our drinks until we asked."
"We still haven't even heard from a waitress, needless to say we left without eating there."
Food Quality
Pros:
"I enjoyed my curry dish."
"You can taste the quality in anything you order here."
"Solid burger."
"Food all came out together, everyone like the dishes."
"The Black diamond cheese plate was fantastic."
"The burrata salad was served with watermelon and was refreshing and tasty."
"The food is great, the cocktails and beer selection even better."
Cons:
"A $17 lunch time take-out salad (not worth the price, in my opinion)."
"Salmon for two of our entrees was overly raw and had to be sent back."
"Worst bolognese on the main line. It comes with heaps of balsamic which makes it taste nearly inedible."
"The food was really good but the portion was very small for 25$."
"The food is subpar compared to the restaurants in the mainline and not reasonably priced."
"The vegetable tikka masala was absolutely underwhelming."
"Food was good when it finally came out. Brunch...plenty of staff and not busy yet our brunch took 35 minutes to arrive!"
Ambiance
Pros:
"The ambiance was warm and dim lighting made it feel cute for a date night."
"Moody, dim lights, rustic vibes, and charming dining section."
"The ambience itself is very unique, lively and rustically beautiful in an old fashioned way."
"It's absolutely beautiful inside."
"The atmosphere was a little active but somehow relaxing."
"The atmosphere is very rustic and modern."
"Good nose level and a comfortable atmosphere."
Cons:
"This place is full of obnoxious 30-something year old housewives getting their champagne on."
"A touch loud but nice outdoor seating available."
"It is a little cramped inside, but what restaurant in Wayne isn’t."
"The place is a bit small and our party of two was squished between two louder parties."
"The inside can get quite loud during dinner time or during busy times because of the indoor room acoustics."
"You can’t hear anyone in the restaurant, so you have to scream across the table when ordering."
"The only downfall was there wasn't anywhere for me to nurse my baby."
Value
Pros:
"All at a very reasonable price."
"For whatever reason the average price of a cheeseburger has skyrocketed on the mainline, so when I say that the Goats Beard has THE best and one of the cheapest cheeseburgers I'm not kidding."
"Really cool gastropub. Has a cool vintage decor, good beer and whiskey selection."
"The food was a bit pricey but tasty."
"Delicious food, and decent prices."
"Drinks are strong and reasonably priced, food is delicious, I only wish they had more vegetarian/pescatarian options."
"It’s not even that much money considering the quality."
Cons:
"They will overcharge you and hope you don't notice."
"Overall a very expensive and disappointing night."
"A $17 lunch time take-out salad (not worth the price, in my opinion) and on top you refuse to provide utensils and don't hesitate to say 'we don't provide silverware/plastic-ware'."
"Pricey and quality, but you get that in Wayne."
"Food was delicious but overpriced - even for a gastropub."
"Overall meal prices were on the expensive end for dinner entrees."
"Drinks listed as $13/$14? Nope. $16+"
Service Efficiency

"Friendly, knowledgeable staff (got a great recommendation for a good local beer)."
"Great experience, wonderful atmosphere and amazing food."
"Friendly staff, service is spotless, and tasty drinks and dishes every single time!"
Cons:
"Food needs to be served hotter..hot food hot please only complaint...but entrees just kinda Luke...."
"After this evenings horrible treatment from manager / part owner (plaid shirt) who ignored us staring us down to clear table in empty place for kids to take over was the worst!"
"The cauliflower salad was extremely disappointing, which was a bummer because it’s the only vegan dish on the menu."
"Our waitress was great."
"I did not like the fact that there was a mandatory 20% tip applied to the bill and even worse, a mandatory 3% charge for the kitchen staff."
"The whole process (being seated, getting the food, getting the check), took far too long."
"Food allergies beware… We told our server before ordering that our two daughters have nut allergies. She said she understood and would let the kitchen know. Our daughter’s plate came out with a side slaw containing nuts."
