Opinions de The Tomato Bistro Philadelphia
I came for the wings but when I saw the healthier menu options on this winter day I chose the eggplant meatballs. I asked for cheese and they delivered on my meal and in my to go (pictured below) because the portion was large for me! Both drinks I had were return worthy an elderflower martini and a pear-tini! They gave me a tomato bisque sample as I was waiting for my meal. Perfect place for comfort food and great drinks on a winter day! They also have happy hour menu for food and drinks.
The food was absolutely amazing! I had the Brussels sprouts and vegan crab cakes—both were *so* good. My husband ordered the quesadilla, fries, and a mango punch, and he loved every bite. Our server, Maggie, was fantastic—super attentive and kind. We’ll definitely be back! Huge thanks for creating such delicious food with thoughtful vegan options. I’m stuffed... it’s giving nap-then-bed vibes!
The food is great, the atmosphere is cozy and they have a decent amount of vegan/plant-based options. You can dine-in or get take out. The pizza is really good, the burgers are good and I love their salads! Their salad serving sizes are fairly generous for the price and there’s many types of toppings to choose from plus all their dressings are vegan. Their roasted cauliflower bowl is one of my favorites and is so good! They offer a good variety of salads, sandwiches and pizzas to choose from but I really like that you can build-your-own if you want to customize your order. I thought their sandwiches were just okay but everything else I’ve had here has been great!
Hands down the best salads I’ve ever had. Even when I accidentally ordered a vegan salad, it was delicious!! Excellent pizza too!
This place is so cute and unassuming. It’s also a great option for those seeking a restaurant with mixed dietary needs. From the outside it looks like just a takeout spot or that they only have bar seating, but they actually have 2 small floors of dining room seating. I sat on the top floor which overlooks the second floor. As the day turns to night they turn the lights down and create a real nice ambiance and atmosphere. For the food, I had the shaved brussels and cauliflower bowl and my friend had the plant based fish tacos and halibut. The shaved brussels were good. There was a mix of brussels with apples, walnuts and a sauce. The sauce was a little overpowering, but not bad. The cauliflower bowl was the star for me. I don’t know what kind of sauce they put on it, but it works. It had a rich taste, but not so that it wasn’t enjoyable. The fish tacos were tasty. They had a good avocado sauce on them. My friend said the halibut was flavorful, but it was smaller than what he thought he would get and as pictured. Oh and I almost forgot they have us complementary tomato soup shots. They were so cute and tasty. I would definitely eat here again.
Quick lunch stop. While I'm out and about I notice a place that has a cool name. I decided today was the day I put this place to the test. I love pizza. Any chance I get to try something new I do. There was only 1 slice in the case. It came out fast. They have Maine Root soda on tap I got the ginger. The pizza slice was ample. Biting into it was buttery, thin and crispy. The cheese was good and I was happy the crust just released as I bit into it. There was no tugging or chewy feel. Very palate pleasing. I can't wait to order a whole pie!
Emily at the front register was so helpful. We just came in wanting a warm dessert and she gave us a few good options! Their food also never disappoints.
What a great place to meet friends for lunch. It's upstairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the service is outstanding!! The food was amazing! Got a complimentary mini mug of tomato soup, and then I enjoyed salmon everything bagel salad with spring mixed greens. So yummy!!!!!! Saw old friends today, they took a Lyft! Haven't seen them in 15 years, and we had such a great lunch today. Parking is tight, and I had to parallel park!! But what a great meal.
Food and service were excellent! I took my friend’s mom who has a dairy allergy and she enjoyed her vegan pizza and her la fiesta salad. I got a holy chipotle salad and grilled cheese with tomato soup. I am not a big tomato soup fan but now I am!
Fast service up top. Buffalo chicken calzone during happy hour. The middle had a perfect amount of cheese, it was stuffed with chicken throughout and the buffalo sauce was good. Hearts of Palm 'Fish' Tacos, the ingredients were fresh. The mango salsa on top gave it extra pop, and the cashew avocado crema was very good and tied it all together. The Burrata is light and fresh as one would expect. The Cacio e Pepe was salty and spiced throughout with black pepper, made with thick bucatini noodles and Parmesan crisps on top. The black pepper kicks a bit as you get to the bottom of the bowl. Both dishes were great. The drinks are reasonably priced. The atmosphere is busy, but relaxed. Something you would expect of a place with good service. We were seated a ten mins before the end of happy hour and everything came out quick. Staff is friendly. I'll be back! Thanks!
A must place to eat. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Very clean! The food IMag
Better ingredients, better pizza, not Papa John's. I like to only eat ORGANIC FOOD, & this place only has organic food, farm to table!
First time We ordered the bella Napoli which was absolutely amazing (slightly cold tho). The crust is thin and crispy, sauce and cheese were in perfect proportions. We also got the pearfection salad, the salad was okay, the candied pecan, cranberry and the pear combination was too sweet for My liking but gotta say the pears were really fresh. Second time It didn’t disappoint. I got the wagayu burger with fries and their infamous food pyramid. Still consistent with freshness and quality.
The food is terrific. I eat a mostly Whole Food Plant Based diet and was able to find dozens of menu items for me! I ended up with the Avacado Rice Salad, but I added a bed of arugula to the bottom for an uncharge. Even though it's in the Salad section it comes with coconut peanut rice...and I wanted some greens. They accommodated and I'll have 2 or 3 meals from this! Delicious. It's Friday and the service is a little slow, but again, it's Friday. :) Friendly!
They have a dog friendly patio and an online menu that you can scan when you get outside so you don’t have to wait in line well known for their sandwiches and salads. They also have pizza and a wide selection of beers. Ask for Alex the server she is going to make your visit special
Great food! Great place! Friendly accommodating staff. 🥰 You can simply get seated and order on the phone with their online menu code on each table. We got bunch of customised pizzas and burgers. The pizza was fresh and tasty. The burger was good too! Came with sweet potato fries! Overall would definitely go back for this amazing service and meal. Prices are pretty reasonable as well. My personal fav is the chipotle based pizza with grilled chicken and peppers/jalapeño. Mojitos and Margaritas were fresh and quantity was okay. Definitely worth every penny spent👍🏼
So good!! Best vegan sandwich I’ve had in so long. Can’t wait to come back!
My little sister is gluten free. We come in here all the time and Kendra M took us to the next level
Wow this was an amazing cafe and service the food was so delicious and visually amazing looking. Our waitress named ALI was wonderful me and my family are very happy and will be back .
Plentiful vegan options in a bright bistro setting! My go-to order is the Craft Your Own Salad, as there are countless combinations to choose from. They used to have Fried "Calamari" with hearts of palm; unfortunately, it was removed from the menu, so I tried their hearts of palm "Fish" Tacos. I also love the Cheesy Breadsticks and the Atomic Veggie Sandwich. The Couch Tomato is a must-visit in Manayunk!
Food did take a while but was well worth the wait. We weren’t even fried and we messed up every dish that came out to us. Our server was kind and reassuring, apologizing to us for the long wait for our food. Atmosphere was very intimate and chill. 9.9/10 def recommend.
When we first sat down, the employee who sat us down (Ben) brought us two tiny mugs full of tomato bisque. These mugs are complimentary to all guests. The soup was incredible! It was so good we ordered another bowl for my partner and I to share. We also ordered a Cesar salad, an order of buffalo wings, and a personal sized margarita pizza. The salad was large and extremely tasty. The buffalo wings were also excellent and had a sweet, tangy, and unique flavor. Both the salad and wings were “different” in their flavors, but in a good way. The pizza however was not good, which is ironically what we came there for. We have tried tons of different style of pizza (Chicago, New York, Neapolitan, etc.) and this was nothing like any of those. I was expecting a Neapolitan/wood fire taste since that’s what it looked like in photos, but the taste was not at all like that. The bottom of the pizza reminded me of a bagel and sauce/ tomato flavor was very off. It was watery and too sweet, which is surprising given that the tomato soup they serve is perfection. Looking back, I think it is possible all the pizzas are gluten free and that is part of why it tasted so strange to me. If I return in the future I will probably order a grilled cheese to go with the tomato soup instead. Despite not liking the pizza much, I still can’t help but give the place five stars based on the service. Our server Marcus was lovely. He was very kind, friendly, and patient. It was also a nice and quiet atmosphere despite all the tables being full. The restaurant also had great outdoor seating. Staff did not wear masks, but they did have a very clear hand sanitizer station when you entered and the restaurant felt very clean. I would love to come back the next time we visit Philly.
Food here is always a 10/10! Decided to grab some food to go and take a look at the quality it shows! The food is always fresh and super delicious! I had the La Fiesta Salad and Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder
Love this spot! Wide menu, cozy space, really nice staff and drinks!
Couch Tomato is so good! As someone with celiac, I love knowing my food will not only be delicious, but also safe for me to eat! The GF grilled cheese is AMAZING! We were also in & out in 45/50 min…just in time for our movie! (Our server Isaac was great too!)
So many options! Seriously if you have ANY dietary restrictions, this is the place to go. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options galore! And if your group is a mixed bag, don’t worry, because their seafood and meat and all other options are exceptional, no matter what flavors you’re in the mood for. There is something here for everybody and that’s a fact! Signed, a vegetarian with a vegan partner, a meat fanatic teen, and one very picky young child. 🍅 ❤️
We had a holiday party catered by the Tomato Shack. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We will certainly be calling them to cater for us next year. I couldn't have been more pleased.
Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had, hands down, and I have been off gluten since 2011! Ingredients are locally sourced, the sauce is to die for. Don’t skip the gluten-free cheesy breadsticks, and get extra marinara dipping sauce!
I LOOOVE the food here, taste was delicious! Our server Kendra was very nice. My family members will definitely be coming back.
We were very happy with the quality of food from the Tomato Cafe. We used their drop and go catering for our small wedding ceremony. Everyone liked the food and it was not too expensive.
We recently used The Tomato Shack to cater an event for our organization. Jan helped me order proper amount per person and delivered and set up the food. Everything was delicious and prices were reasonable.
Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you can post: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely stellar experience from start to finish! The restaurant exceeded every expectation — the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. A special shoutout to our server, **B**, who was truly incredible. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly, B made the entire evening feel effortless and special. Every recommendation was spot on, and the service elevated an already amazing dining experience. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning. If you’re lucky enough to have B as your server, you’re in for an exceptional experience!
Working with Jan on all of our catering needs has been amazing. Jan truly is the reason why we continue to use Tomato Shack for all of our catering needs. You can find great food other places but to find top notch service is not easy and Jan is just that! Amazing and highly recommend for all of your catering needs just be sure to ask for Jan :)
The Sizzling Sausage pizza was delivered hot and delicious. I always love the crust!!! Everything was great, sauce, sausage, fresh mozzarella cheese and the fresh basil always tops it off. I got the sauce aioli sauce on the side for occasional dipping.
One of my favorite spots in the area for pizza and sandwiches! Quality of ingredients are always fresh and portions are always a good size. I’d definitely recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich or any of their pizzas!
This place has been long time favorite from the days my mother and I ate here (and she has since passed so it’s now nostalgic to come here with my young son in her memory). Our waiter was very attentive and polite and made our experience a great one in the bistro. The food was fresh, while still being so delicious. I have so many food allergies so this has always been a go to spot that can always accommodate my many food restrictions. The manager here Josh is also great! He knows how to read the room and wants to step in if ever there is an issue being very hands on. I also loved how diverse the atmosphere was from ethnicities to different age groups. Even when I vow to “no longer get take out” this will always be an exception because of its clean ingredients and my hope is this place stays around for decades to come!
I had such a great experience at The Tomato Shack! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of character. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food was the real standout. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Their menu options are absolutely incredible — rich, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the presentation was beautiful.
I had some website issues but called into the store and someone graciously took my order over the phone and it was delivered in 45 minutes. I had a salad, a gluten-free pizza, bread, wheel and the chicken chipotle corn chowder soup. everything was amazing as always!
What is not to love! Incredible food that’s health conscious, kid friendly dining in experience, loads of gluten free and vegan options. Also love that they have their own delivery team so I don’t have to mess with UE or DD!
I had a great experience here with a friend. Sandwich was amazing and super affordable. I think our server was named Billy and he was amazing! We specifically gave him a great review. Great vibes and fabulous food.
I went to the tomato shack with my best girlfriends and let me just say I had the most wonderful time! The plain Jane and Tony’s pizza is out of this world fantastic! Everyone should go with their loved ones and enjoy a delicious slice of warm cheesy goodness pizza and don’t forget the garlic nuts ;-)
This is such a cute spot right on Main St! I got the black bean burger and the sweet potato fries, both of which were delicious. Super customizable and tons of vegan options. Louisa took great care of us!
The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all perfect. We absolutely LOVED the plant based “crab” cakes - so unique and flavorful. Personal veggie special pizza and peach jawn pizza were both excellent. Very well priced for the amount of food you get and the incredible quality. Our server Kayla was sweet and attentive!
We sat outside by choice so I can't say anything about the indoor atmosphere. Food was good overall. I had the Kicken Chicken sandwich. Would try something different next time. The garlic knots, on the other hand, were simply excellent.
Solid 4/5. From the food, to the service, to the ambiance, everything flowed as one cohesive piece. It serves as a great casual date spot. Not too loud with dim lighting and you could certainly hear each other without shouting. Everything tasted great. My two gripes with the entire meal was that the wings were a bit small and the turkey sandwich was overly toasted to the point it was hard.
Comfort food in a casual setting! Ok first things first - food was bomb! I went for a Saturday lunch and got the southwest burger (crispy chicken, provolone, lettuce, chipotle aioli). I’m a picky eater so I got this but it was actually really delicious. The best part is that they gave complimentary tomato soup that came in cute little espresso cups 🥹🥹 anyway the price came out to just about $31 including tip for two lunches! Service was also good and the waitress was nice. We sat outside so I can’t comment on the indoor seating situation. Overall the vibes are casual and the food was yummy!
Really cute place, lots of options especially for dietary needs. A bit pricey but kinda expected for the area. Great gluten free pizza crust! Best ive ever had.
Atmosphere is comfortable, but it seems like the staff is overwhelmed and doesn't pay attention to the paying customer. I also feel that they should have a Takeout menu
I used to love their create your own salad but they recently changed the menu so that I am unable to get what I normally got before. They axed the Italian dressing, bistro chicken, and white beans which are my favorite parts of the salad.
They are terrible with delivery and online orders, maybe with the new ownership/name changes, the quality of service has gone down. It used to be great. I placed an order online through door dash and I called the store one hour later; they said “oh the food is ready” but the door dash app still said they were “preparing the order”. The store tried to claim it was a door dash problem but then the order status magically changed to “dasher on the way” right after we hung up. The food was cold and was clearly left out at the store and status not updated. Would not recommend - choose another place in manayunk
