Possibly the single most overrated and overpriced restaurant in Phila, embodies the Rittenhouse douche “I wish I was in NYC” mentality with the attitude, high prices, and fawning over NYC-sourced ingredients and beer. Don’t care about the food cost and ingredient quality when the food is poorly prepared at least half the time and the service poor and snooty. You can eat better at less than half the price at Royal Tavern or SPTR.

Tyler – $18 is absurd only if you have no concept of how much food items actually cost these days:

Crappy commodity ground beef is selling wholesale to restaurants right now for around 2.40/lb. Factor in choice grade – add about .50cents per lb. Custom grind (as in: not leftover scraps and trimmings) – add about .75cents per lb. Dry aged (which causes loss of about 25% product loss) – add about a dollar per lb.

Shropshire blue – roughly $10/lb.

Good quality bacon – roughly $5/lb.

Jesus, after thinking it through, I suspect they are running a 30% food cost on that burger, which is super high for a burger. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it (I won’t), but realistically it’s probably not overpriced.

hopefully the price deters people and they get one of the more substantive and interesting dishes. For $5 more you can get duck breast! Burgers are so tired.

you guys are the same morons who will buy a $7 value meal at mcDonalds and be happy. Its about value people, $18 is totally acceptable for the size, blend of meat and other ingredients offered.

18 bucks for a burger? Come on pnk, that is rediculous. Pabbit has always been a disappointment from the unattentive pretentious staff to the underwhelming overpriced menu. Fortunately a far superior establisment is located right across the street. Meritage kicks PNK butt in every way.

Stepping up their game. This looks awesome.
