I agree with Kim B. I'm a local, and could be a regular. EXCEPT, the owner is a real unfriendly dude. Mr. Owner, when I ask what your gluten free options are, don't treat me like a leper. When I ask you about a specific vodka , don't rudely say "Well, I didn't name that one, did I?" And when you tell me you're giving me a gluten free beer, actually do it. Instead, you gave me hard cider, which was the only silver lining in this sturm und drang. Never had it and turned out to be excellent. Would've been real serviceable of you if you actually poured it into the glass you slammed down next to it, as any real bartender would do.
Review Source:I've been coming to Quotes for a few years now and overall there is not a better spot in Media. Great beer selection, reasonable prices (for Media at least), terrific staff and an owner who has always taken great care of myself and friends. I see some rather harsh reviews on Yelp and it baffles me. Mike the owner may be the type of guy who you need to get to know for a while before truly embracing but one thing is not up for dispute. He works his A$$ off and takes care of his regulars as well as anyone.
The food is good, not spectacular, but tasty and reasonably priced. The beers are varied and excellent, and the restaurant itself is well lit and well laid out. If I have a minor criticism it's the TVs, located mostly in the bar area, are non-HD (for whatever reason), but otherwise the experience of watching a ball game, meeting up for a date or having a nice dining experience with friends and family is excellent.
One other thing that I've always enjoyed is the crowd who goes there. Seems to be mostly polite young professionals, classy without being snobby, hip without being "hipster", a nice mix of folks reminding you more of an upscale joint in Montco more than the vast majority of central Delco bars. Lastly I'm a huge fan of the wait staff. They're attentive without being overbearing, thoughtful, and the service is quick and efficient.
Went here twice...the first time with a friend and the next time with my usual dining partner.   Ok, I get the quote thing- quotes all over the place with pithy sayings by famous people, but ultimately it is the food and/ or the drink that keeps you coming  back.   We are now seeing all sorts of places in DelCo where you can get a decent brew.  Unfortunately the beer we got here tasted like it had been sitting  around for a long while.  It's a bar and it smells like one.  The food is nothing to write home about.  I'm not sure why I would want to come back here- it's not the food, the brew or the ambiance- so I won't be back.
Review Source:If I could give negative stars - I would. Â The issue with this place is the owner who has absolutely no customer service or people skills what so ever. Â He is rude and very inappropriate. Â Some people should not be in the service business and he is one. Â How often do you see reviews about owners asking people to get the F(*&^ out of their restaurant? Â Never but with this place has and I am not surprised. Â This appears to be common at Quoatations. Â Does he forget that these are his customers and his target customer thrives on social media? Â Our group will tell everyone we know not to spend one dime at that restaurant unless it comes under new ownership. Â
Since it seems common for the owner to say, "if you don't like it - get the f*&^ out -maybe that should be a quote on the wall? Â
OK - I always try to say something positive - well the location is good - right across from Iron Hill - where the management treats their customers like a customer.
Quotations is a great place for a beer - their beer menu is so diverse and always changing. Â My fiance and I love picking his next beer based on name alone. Â So far we haven't been disappointed by anything we chose...
The food is decent too - but don't plan on ordering dessert. Â The last couple times we've been there, they've been out of dessert.
The bar area gets very crowded quickly, so if you're planning on staying a while and don't mind not seeing the tvs, get a table in the back. Â You get an attentive server and don't have to deal with the crowd at the bar and the busy bartenders- especially on the weekends!
Overall, one of our favorite places in Media for an after dinner drink.
Oh! And Quizzo on Wednesdays!
The only reason to go to this place is the beer if they actually have it on tap. Most beers on the menu are out most of the time. I suggest they use a computerized white board type display to show what is actually on tap and is updated with in mins that its going to kick. They use this same display at another bar like this, TJ's in Paoli. They also drop the price on beers on a keg that is about to kick or is getting low to get a new beer on tap.Handing out a piece of paper with outdated beers still listd on it is annoying to the customer and the bartender who has to keep telling each person who asks for a beer that its out.
 As for the food, this is a whole other animal. We don't normally eat there the food at Iron Hill is much better. I don't know why they can't make decent food there. It wouldn't take much to hire a chef that knew what he or shew as doing and change the menu. This place would be ideal for a restaurant make over type show. Chef Ramsey could get this place on the right track.
As for as the decor, the carpet and bathroom in this place is something out of a horror movie. Â The grease in the carpet is so embedded that it sticks to your feet when you walk through the place. And for whatever reason we were told the bathroom paper towel dispenser will never be fixed. It has been like that now for 4 years. The owner refuses to fix it. The paper towels are always on the roll and on top of the dispenser. It has always been this way, I have never seen it actually work.
So a place in a good location with a good idea is held back for a few stupid issues that could be easily fixed. Get the bathroom working correctly and fix the paper towel dispenser and clean the bathroom its nasty, change the carpets in there, get a new menu and new chef. These things wouldn't cost much and you would have more business and compete better with other restaurants coming into Media. All these updates would hardly cost much.
Decent place to have a cold one. Friendly staff. Haven't eaten there yet.
edit...
this is my favorite place to eat and hang out in media. Â the food is WAY better than expected and I've eaten my way though the menu. Â I go here 3-4 times per week.
Staff is the best, burgers, wings, ahi sandwich, fries, are all on point.
I had a sketchy oyster, but what are you gonna do? Â everything else has been great.
I'll admit, I thought Quotations was just gonna be a mediocre sports bar, but I was wrong. I went to grab lunch here and was pleasantly surprised at what turned out to be a decent food selection. The dinner prices seem like a bit much, but lunch prices were around $8-$10 for a generously sized sandwich and a side. The beer selection's wonderful, too! Lots of rotating craft beers, and the waiter/bartender was quick to recommend us something delicious.
Service and atmosphere here feels a little more cozy and warm than Iron Hill Brewery across the street, although be prepared to wait a little longer when it gets crowded. I'd say 3.5 stars.
My boyfriend and I LOVE going here for our date nights. Their cheesy crab fries are DELICIOUS (and unlike other popular crab fries they actually have crab meat on them). Their beer list is super impressive and always changing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is sometimes you need to figure out what you like on their menu and what you don't (I don't recommend their zucchini sticks but I do recommend their duck sandwich). We love this place!
Review Source:The craft beer selection is good, but they have had the same craft beers on tap for years...they don't rotate. Â Had a Sawtooth last night and it was pretty evident they do not clean their tap lines regularly.
The food is mediocre and overpriced. Â The place is always packed though, with an OK atmosphere. Â $17 for fried shrimp platter with garlic mashed potatoes that didn't taste like garlic at all. Â The shrimp were very small and it tasted like they need to change the fryer oil.
The craft beer selection at Pinnochio's is significantly better than Quotations. Â The Uno Chicago Grill in Newtown Square also has a better craft beer selection, a great atmosphere, and employees that care about their customers. Â Both Pinnochio's and Uno's clean their taps on a regular basis.
My brother and I were checking out Media. I was drawn to the near by Iron Brewery, but when we saw the menu at Quotations we decided to give it a try. Â As mentioned in other reviews, the menu is either regular or really interesting. The specials on that day all looked amazing, they even ran out of the california flat bread we were hoping to get bc it was a hit! lol I know I should be sad that they were out but, it does say something about how interesting it was.
They had an amazing wild rice mushroom crab soup! I'm from MD I know crab but I have never had a crab soup like that, excellent flavors together. For lunch I had the blackened duck salad.... also a great choice. The bar tender was the only one serving, I felt bad that he was so busy but he did not ignore us, we got all of our food in a timely manor.
If you are in the area I would definitely stop by and check out the specials!
On a design note: Don't judge it on decor alone, its a little out dated but who cares when the tv's are big, the bar is full and theres food to match.
This place is awesome! We've been here close to 10 times and the new, rare and/or trendy beers are why we always come back for more. Staff is helpful and it's a great place to watch games.
The regular menu is pretty standard, but the specials, especially on the weekends, are worth a try.
The service can be spotty sometimes, but the staff aren't just standing around, they're obviously busting their humps, so I'd say you need to know what your next beer is going to be before you drink it all to ensure complete satisfaction :)
This is my friend's favorite place and the only good thing I can say about it is that my beer was good and cold. Â Our server was rude. Â No "hello" or any nicety to even speak of...in fact he greeted us with "what do you want to drink?" Â My husband said "how are you today" and he repeated himself with the drink question. Â Okay, so we aren't there for the conversation.....
We ordered buffalo wing apps, two beers (Flying Dog and a Lambic), a soda and a water. Â The wings were smaller and more well done than any wings I have ever had. Â Not worth the price, at all. Â Our entrees (the burger, the "Q" and two kids meals) were less than stellar. Â Blah in taste and definitely not worth the price. Â The chicken on the "Q" didn't even come close to covering the entire bun so really I had bread with a couple bites of chicken in it. Â The sides were chips and a pickle (what they meant was "Ruffles" and a pickle chip - yep, like a quarter size pickle slice). Â
I will not be returning for food or service, that is for sure!
You have great beer. Nice!
Sad, that's about where it ends
Go to Iron Hill
Listen Quotations, I've given you the chance you deserve. I've eaten your food, drank your beer, come back and done it all over (and over) again and I still can't find a compelling reason to go back. Well maybe the beer. Yeah The beer I guess. But hear me out.
I'll start with the beer menu. It's excellent, beyond what you'll find anywhere else that isn't in the city. Their draft list changes frequently and is accessible to any palate, and the servers will definitely help you pick if you're at a loss. Which you might be because the various font sizes/accents on their menu make it pretty damn hard to decipher.
My thought: I can get good beer across the street at Iron Hill. What else you got? The answer is not much. The food has been beyond bland on every visit; nothing special, just exactly what it says on the menu cooked like it was made in a 7th grace home ec. class. It'll keep you alive sure, but it won't keep you coming back.
It also seems like the only place you'll get good service here is in the dining room. In all my visits I have had one server a few times (Maggie) who I would consider up to par, and always in the back. Whenever we're sitting at the bar tables, it's like pulling teeth to get another highly touted beer.
Look I'm not saying I wouldn't go here again. The beer list is good, and if that's all I'm looking for, then maybe. I'm just saying the next time I do, it won't be at my suggestion.
I'm having a hard time trying to pick how many stars to give this place.
PROS:
Awesome beer selection! I looked for Southern Tier PumpKing for a long time - and this place had it on draft last night. SO delicious. There are many great beers here... (You just have to decipher the awfully written beer menu to get to know what they have).
The bar had TVs for lots of sports viewing, and there was a really kickin live band last night. I'd go back again just for the band!!
CONS:
The food was pretty crummy. I got a salad which was fairly small for the price, and the avocado was brown and mushy. Not so good.
My partner-in-crime got the crab fries. The crabmeat itself was amazing, but the fries were overdone and soggy. Food = meh, I'll pass.
The place was a little awkward - with a restaurant in back separated by some weird partitioning walls from the bar. Maybe this was circa- the days when everyone still smoked in bars in PA.
OVERALL:
If I were to return to this place - I'd eat somewhere else first, and then sit at the bar at Quotations to drink some delicious beer for dessert!!!
For over five years now, Quotations has gotten by on the beer selection. Â That's saying a lot, considering there's a brewpub right across the street. Â The wide selections can sometimes be inconsistent and if their distributor hasn't been by in a while or the owner hasn't kept up with the inventory, they run out of some of the uncommon brews on their list, which can be frustrating. Â
Quotations gets a bad rap on food but there are some safe menu options (Bacon-wrapped Scallops, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Onion Rings). Â My personal favorite menu item is the salad. Â They have this fantastic cabernet vinaigrette dressing, which I'm almost certain comes straight out of a plastic gallon jug. Â Nevertheless, the dressing and the croutons make it a solid choice. Â Keep an eye on the specials - a few hidden gems pop up now and again. Â
The service is adequate. Â Tip: Â Engage the server early in your visit if you desire more attention.
The best time to go is a weekend afternoon or a weeknight. Â There's no sense in fighting off Friday or Saturday night crowds here. Â That's what Monks in Philly is for.
I've been going to Quotations for a few years now and the beer selection is fantastic, best in Media.
The food is ok, but they do have some pretty good selections. Â The marinated steak salad is great and I usually order it without looking for anything else on the menu. Â
Most of the bartenders are friendly and attentive. Â But to agree with some of the other reviews, there are a couple of employees who need to step up. Â Hey, what cha gonna do? Â Could happen anywhere.
So. Beer selection = fantastic!
Try the steak salad. Â :-)
If I could do half stars, Quotations would get a solid 3.5 stars from me, and that, like most reviewers, is backed solidly by a superb and rotating beer selection. Â No offense to Jennifer B., but I would love to head to some of the bars that she considers to have nice beer selections. Â I will say that it is heavy on the Belgian influence, so if you're not a fan you may not be in love with the whole selection. Â However, there is definitely something for everyone on the beer menu. Â The food is average to above average (maybe a little over priced for some things), the service varies and I've never had some of the terrible experiences of others. Â
Overall, I go back when I'm in the mood or when friends visit and request it, but it isn't one of our go to's.
I hate hipsters. I hate Abercrombie douchebags. I hate people who have never lived outside of their hometown. Lucky for me, Quotations has and caters to all three.
Look, I'm from Boston so I judge my neighborhood watering spots to much higher levels. Quotations doesn't have the beer selection everyone  raves about. The crowd is barely 21 and the bartenders may be a day over 21.  It's not even a decent college bar. I'm closer to 30 and this place doesn't have any of the charm of a decent college bar.
The table service is slower than molasses on a tin roof in the middle of January and the bartenders have a "I really don't give a shit what you want, I'll get to it when I get to it" attitude.
The food is average bar food. It soaks up the alcohol. That's about it.
It's really a massive fail on the trendy-hip-intellectual theme they were striving for.
I've eaten here several times, including once when they had live music, and like most Media restaurants, you can't really complain about anything specific... they are all mostly excellent.
And this is place is good, although a couple of times the food was above average and the others indifferent.
The one time that we had music, it was packed and the atmosphere was more like a great neighborhood bar...
I have to admit, I was drawn in by the quotations theme "Oh, a unique local place! Â And they're literate!"
I was disappointed by the experience. Â The menu was a bit surprising - $16+ for entrees like chicken parm. Â I ended up with a more reasonable priced burger that wasn't anything special. The bartender was nice enough, but waited a long time to ask me if I wanted another pint.
The clientele gave a phony Country Club deadhead type vibe
I'm a little saddened to read that everyone is so down on this place. I've never had a terrible experience here, and I frequent often. Even before I lived in Media, this was one of my favorite places to visit when on the little strip.
The beer selection is always interesting. I can always count on finding something I haven't tried yet. And, the food is decent. I admit I haven't tried any of their dinner options (I'm a vegetarian) but, from what I can chose from it's always been tasty. In fact, I've brought many people here and they've never had anything bad to say.
I've also never had an issue with the service. I hope I never do either because I love this place. Maybe they just need a happy bartender like me to help out on the weekends! ;)
The Beer selection and quality is awesome. Â Very pleased. Â The Service and the Quality of the food is sub-par (at best).
I have been here a few time, mostly just to drink, and have always been pleased. Â I went there last night with my wife for a few drinks and some food. Â Things started off slowly with the wait staff, but the beers were tasty and my wife and I were enjoying our time together (with the phillies in the background). Â We each ordered a burger, the bun on mine was stale. Â She ordered her burger medium well, I ordered mine rare. Â They were both well done. Â
Again, disappointed in the food and service, but will go back for the beer...only.
I'm torn, I love the beer on tap, tons of craft stuff and more bottled, but the bartenders are terrible. Â Pinocchios, Iron Hill and Quotations make the beer drinker triangle in Media PA. Â I'm going to say that none of them have 'great' food, but to drink they are divine.
I've never been treated like a human being at the bar, these guys are very much there to just collect whatever tips they can scrape together and leave.
Other than the amazing beer on tap, this is one of the must-stop locations on State Street for women cruising the town. Â For some reason women find this place attractive and friendly, but as a guy I have to say... meh.
Delco beer geeks should be limbering up their gullets for a trip to Quotations, conveniently located right across State St. from Iron Hill Brewery for for the world's shortest two-stop pub crawl.
From the rarely-seen-on-draft DeDolle Dulle Teve ("mad bitch" triple) to Schneider Aventinus weizenbock, the draft list was beyond on point. Â I worked at Monk's for four years and I'm hard to impress beer-wise. This selection was as good as any top-tier city beer bar.
Pleased to be swilling so swell in the burbs, our table of five moved on to dinner. Â My family eats in mass quantities, so servers' faces generally light up when they realize they have a $200 check happening here. Â This guy seemed slightly panicked at all times, running away from the table before we were finished ordering/asking questions.
I wasn't so hungry, and ordered a house salad and french onion soup. Both were fine. Â Everyone else's food was less fine. Â My boyfriends's tilapia sandwich was just fried fish on a ginormous roll. Â Nothing else. Â It wasn't horrible, but certainly not something you'd return for. Â When the server hurriedly asked, "Can I bring you anything else right now?" one member of our party, who'd had about five appletinis by this point, responded, "Yeah, the rest of this guy's sandwich."
Embarrassing, yes. Â For us and Quotations.
I am going 4 stars on Quotations based on the fact that my husband and I both like it. Â I am married to a guy that operates on 2 levels of emotion - "not bad" and "pretty good". Â This place actually inspires excitement above and beyond that! Â He always suggests Quotations because of their awesome beer list that is regularly changing and their Neptune burger (burger with crab imperial on it). Â I don't really get the appeal of a ground meat and crab combo but they also have other good choices. Â
The atmosphere is bleh but it's not bad. Â They have TVs up so games can be watched which is a plus with the Mr. as well. Â Overall good place for a couple of beers and quick bite after a long week. Â Good Friday night place for a couple or a group.
I like Quotations, when i can get a seat.
Personally, i like the food and i love the beer menu, but the layout is ridiculous. There is not one place to sit/stand in the bar area where you're not in the way. I don't think I've ever been bumped into so many times (and i used to go to the khyber on sunday nights).
But if you're looking for a really good (and very well described) beer menu, go here. If you're looking for pretty good food that's not too expensive and you're lucky enough to get a table, go for it.
The people who work here are also insanely nice and friendly considering they're constantly having to navigate around the drunk people.
So go to Quotations, just don't wear nice shoes.
I've never eaten here, and although I agree that the beer selection is extensive, I ask myself, why are there no local beers on their list? Â With such a rich mircobrew tradition in the Philadelphia/PA Area in general, it would seem like an obvious choice to include some Dog Fish Head, Troegs, Victory, etc. on your menu.
The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but the service is friendly and the other guests are fine.
It's nothing to look at, the food is at best average, and the atmosphere is that of a doctor's office on a Saturday morning filled with the people you hate, but Quotations does do one thing right:
Beer.
For whatever reason, the beer selection in this place is great Monthly selections both draught and bottles is fantastic. If you enjoy beer, and you're out in the suburbs, and you've eaten somewhere else, this is the place for you.
As for what night to go? I guess it's according to your mood. Friday and Saturday boast vanilla musicians armed with keyboards and acoustic guitars that provide popular songs of yesteryear, barely audible over the din of the crowd that packs in at the bar. If you're an adult that enjoys a good beverage, I would stay away from the weekend, and hit it up on a weekday night, where it's a little quieter and you can enjoy the beer without the sloshing.
beer selection here is definitely respectable. Â i agree with joey k, it needs a makeover. Â it's cramped and boring inside. Â and for a small town bar, you pay center city prices...even with happy hour 'discounts'.
what irks me about the place is the people that own and work here. Â i've been here about ten times, and never - not once - has a bartender or waitress had any real knowledge of the beers they have. Â multiple times, the bartenders didn't even know what ales were on tap. Â
and wow, Sarah B is on point with the owner - what a jerk he is. Â after i met him, i vowed to never return there again. Â
so even though Iron Hill's beer selection is inferior, at least you're guaranteed great (knowledgable) service, excellent food, and a big, non-suffocating bar.
I do not have a review for the food, drinks, or Quizzo, as my friends and I were at Quotations for about 30 minutes before a fun night out turned into what was easily the most hellish bar experience I have ever had. I do, however, offer a new quote for the wall: "Shut the f*ck up and leave." - Owner of Quotations to a female customer.
Upon meeting up with my two friends that were already inside, I asked what the drink specials were. My friend said the bartender told her there were no specials when we arrived (8:45 p.m.) but margaritas were $3 starting at 9:00 p.m.
The atmosphere was okay. However, it turned ugly very quickly when a man behind the bar asked what we wanted to order. My friend said, "Two margaritas, please." The man we thought was a bartender said, "Drink special's over." My friend explained that she was given some misinformation by the bartender that served us before, and at that point the man very quickly pulled the OWNER card. "Who told ya wrong? Well you know what? I'm the OWNER. We can end this right here. I'm telling ya, special's over. Do you know how much money I would lose if I offered margaritas at 9 p.m.?" The three of us were taken aback at the OWNER's attitude. "I'm just telling you what I was told," my friend said. We were about to order different drinks when the OWNER continued: "I could have served 5 people in the time I took having this conversation."
... what?
"If your bartender hadn't given me bad information we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place, this is not my fault." My friend was not attempting to cheat the bar or instigate any problem. She merely wanted the correct information and at the very least, maybe an apology from the OWNER. This did not happen; in fact, he told my friend if she didn't like, she "should just leave." She said, "You want me to leave? Seriously?" He then told her to "shut the f*ck up and just leave."
Three of us left immediately after the OWNER said that. The rest of our party was not standing at the bar as this altercation was going down, but they followed shortly after. One would think that the owner of an establishment would value customer service/satisfaction and diffusing heated situations rather than creating them.
This was most likely an isolated incident but I refuse to let ANYONE, much less the OWNER, of any establishment, talk down to anyone I care about, especially when the owner is a grown man telling a younger female to shut the f*ck up without telling someone about it.
To Mr. OWNER, my friends and I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for ever wanting to patronize your establishment. Don't worry, though, we walked across the street to Iron Hill and had a wonderful time.
This place has a great beer list (by suburban standards) and it changes often.  The décor is early tree house.  The food...after a few beers, if you must, order something from the fryer.  The chicken fingers are decent, after four or five beers they are great!
The bartenders vary, some very good others don't seem to want to be bothered. Â If you like beer and are near Media, this is a must check out; if not, pass it by.
So, I moved to Delaware County from Philly about a year ago. Finding a great bar near me seemed a difficult task. But then one day while leaving the Trader Joe's and contemplating a drink at the Iron Hill Brewery I saw Quotations across the street and decided to peak at the menu.
I have to admit that when that other dude who reviewed this place said it could be a copy shop or nail salon, I laughed. So true. There's tons of potential here, but this place needs a bit of a makeover. It's not totally cheesy, just a little 90's. Â Regardless of it's outward appearance, whatever this spot lacks in charm, it makes up for in good food and great beer.
This is THE spot for Bell's Brews. There's always a nice rotating selection of top quality beers here. Almost always a nice Belgian, a tasty micro stout, some high octane IPAs, local beers as well. I've only been a few times. Maybe 3 or 4... but every time, the beer menu has something new, interesting, and seasonal. The food is great too.
If you find yourself in the area, do yourself the favor and stop in for a drink. The staff has always been hugely helpful, conversational, and knowledgeable.
I'll end this review with a quote to keep with the Quotations theme. "Cheers, big ears."
EDIT (1/25/13): I feel the need to amend this review after many subsequent visits. Food is average at best and very hit or miss. The BEER though, still outstanding. The owner is incredibly rude and argumentative. Entirely unprofessionally. I witnessed him getting into an altercation with the table adjacent to mine. The issue was small and insignificant, but he kicked them out! I couldn't believe it. I've never had a person issue with him, but he has seen me there MANY times and has never been friendly or helpful. The staff is awesome, beer is amazing, but the owner... he's a dick!
Quote me on this one -
Quotations left a lot to be desired as far as food. But it did offer up a great assortment of 50 beers that included plenty of pumpkin ale and Oktoberfests in time for the fall. and going through all of the eclectic quotes that were laid out upon it's tables and walls were a pure riot.
If it were in Philly I'd give it 3 stars, but for Media it's pretty solid. the crab cake sandwich didn't have a lot to offer according to my eating companion. But the shrimp scampi was better than decent even if it could have hooked up a bit more shrimp. I probably wouldn't come back for a meal (unless I'm curious enough to find out what a shrimp Parmesan sandwich is like). But it's definitely a solid spot to chill over a beer when you find yourself seeing what downtown Media has to offer.
This place is my favorite bar on State Street in Media. Â It's not at all pretentious or over priced, the food is really good and the beer selection is unmatched. Â If they could add an outdoor area, I'd be in heaven!
The bar can get really crowded on the weekend, especially since Iron Hill is smoke free, and Quotations is currently not (in the bar area at least). Â They have a ton of flat screens in the bar area and in one of the dining areas, it's a great place to grab some food & beer and catch a Phillies game. Â
And by "food", I of course mean "Neptune burger". Â I can't even speak personally about anything else they serve because after the first time I had one at the server's suggestion a year or two back, its the only thing I'll order. Â It's just a burger, topped with crab meat and cheddar cheese. Â I can not even begin to quantify in words how delicious it is. Â Top it off with their tasty fries and a choice beer, and you have yourself one heck of a meal. Â
The servers are generally very knowledgeable and good with suggestions, I especially rely on them for the beer since they are always getting new ones. Â My current favorite is Manneken (sp?), which tastes like a cross between Hoegaarden & Blue Moon. Â My husband enjoyed their recent offering of Orange Blossom, which was a beer that tastes like an orange cream soda. Â It's also nice that in addition to their 'fancy' beers, they do serve ones like Miller lite and Yuengling, so it's safe to bring those friends unwilling to experiment.
Being from Baltimore, my husband was extremely impressed with their crab cake sandwich. Â He even gets it fried, which is unheard of for him, and Baltimorons, apparently. Â
I think the only downside to the place is that the quotations on the walls & tables are getting stale, and the walls generally look like they need a new coat of paint. Â I'm guessing the new bookcase is to go along with the literary theme, but I'd say don't worry about all that. Â Just spend your time concentrating on the important things: Keeping up that great beer selection.
Unassuming, but down right sweet neighborhood bar in Media!
Okay, so I have passed by this place like a quadrillion times and the sign outside just doesn't do this place justice. Â The sign looks like this place could be a print shop or maybe even a nail shop. Who knows.
Stepping into Quotations, you really don't know what to make of it. Â It's sorta hotel-looking bar meets your typical neighborhood bar. Â There are plenty of tables. Â There is a separate dining area from the bar, and then the bar side itself has stools around the bar, as well as tables. Â My party sat on the bar side. Â This side had a couple flat screen tvs and there was pre-season football on. Â Yeah pre-season football, weird eh?
The place is very clean and okay inside. Â Like I said your typical neighborhood joint, nothing fancy. So don't expect too much.
The beer menu was terrific!! Â I was surprised to see a few beers that I always wanted to try. Â Lots of Belgian beer, like Still Nacht, Duchess, Rochefort, some IPAs, and others. Â If you like beer, you will surely find something you like. Â Just don't be like some of the people that were there that ordered Amstel Light. Â Come on now, that is down right ridiculous, atrocious even.
The menu itself had lots of stuff. Â There were seafood appetizers and meat apps. Those of you who like crab will enjoy most of the seafood apps, since there were a lot of crab based ones.. Â Entrees consisted of pasta dishes, sandwiches, and others. Â I myself had the shrimp scampi. Â At my table was also veal parm and a chicken parm sandwich. Â Overall the food was excellent. Â Highlights were the, crab fries, the veal parm and the shrimp scampi. Â The food was excellent in the sense that it was still bar food, but damn good bar food. Â
Service was on par with most places, the waitress, was pretty attentive, so nothing bad to say about that. Â The scene was just chill. Â Then again this was a week night. Â Who knows what the weekend is like.
Across the street is Iron Hill, which is good on most occasions, but this place is the dark horse. Â So if you're in the mood for good eats and a more than decent selection of beer in the Burbs, don't hesitate to check this place out.
