    I really love the food here. The restaurant is huge and they have many events that I've yet to attend. The dance/DJ area looks pretty nice. The main thing I love are the wings! They are huge, meaty, & perfectly cooked. They have several sauce options as well. The cajun wings are my favorite. I also love the patty melts and nachos. If you just want damn good bar food this is the place to go. The variety of drinks and specials are great as well.

    Pros: good wings, good half price Thursday deal and nice wait staff. Ally was our waiter and she was nice and very responsive to get our order. Cons: loudest dining area. Ever. It sounds like everyone is screaming over each other in a gymnasium. Bring ear plugs and be prepared to read lips. You can't hear your own thoughts. They need some acoustic foam on the walls. Seriously. Other con for me would be that they are a sports bar with lots of distracting TVs. I'm sure most people love the distraction and meaningless sports games, but that isn't me. I would not recommend this place at all if you are trying to have conversations with your friends. I would recommend this place for cheap wings at the cost of loosing your hearing.

    First of all their wings are phenomenal! I recommend the Cajun. Probably some of the best I've had, especially in philly. Other food is pretty good too and nice daily/happy hour specials. The outside is great to hang with a group of friends. The staff could use a little more work but overall pretty good.

    I went on Friday June 26. Patty, our server, was awesome! The food was good and the service was great. The food took kind of longer than it should have but otherwise a good experience. I'd go back here.

    This place has excellent wings........I enjoy the garlic and the Cajun wings most.....now the service is bad....at best.......the upside is great if the service was decent.......the atmosphere is good especially when the outside is open.....this place could do better.....I sat waiting for a drink for 20 minutes after just walking in......come on Jerry.......

    Went on January 4, 2013. It was a big game night for the Eagles. Ordered wings over the phone and was given an hour and a half wait time. I did not have an issue with that. What I had an issue with was the girl over the phone. Turns out she was the girl that took care of me when I picked up my wings 2 1/2 hours later. She should not have ever been allowed to handle pick up orders. There were many of us waiting for pick up orders. Some were waiting a couple hours past their expected pick up time. And this was because she kept calling for a person who clearly was not there. The cook even came out of the kitchen and started yelling at her to move on because other orders were getting backed up and he was worried about the integrity of the food. Finally I received my order. When I got home the order was wrong and the I did not receive all of my change. To be exact I was missing 10 dollars change on the bill. I advise to anyone who is going to order from there to make sure you count your money and check your order for it to be right.

    The wings were good, best in the city? I've had better. I went on a Thursday when wings are $.50, ordered the garlic parm and mild wings along with curly cheese fries and onion rings. The sides were great except the sauce that came with the onion rings. The wings were OK. Fried well but the garlic parm didn't have much flavor/seasoning, the mild was the right amount of spice but again no flavor. The service on a scale of 1 to 5 was a 1.5. My waitress hardly checked on us, it took almost 30 min just to receive just the fries and another 30 to get the remainder of our food. 1 hour total. We ordered a beer that took 15 min to come and her excuse was that it was backed up but we watched.... She never went to the bar to see if it was ready. How long does it take to pour beer in a glass?

    I want to sneak into this bar with a hand saw in the middle of the night and cut all their tables to the correct height. Why are the outside tables so much taller than the chairs?! I feel like I'm five years old sitting here.

    I can't say I love Curran's, but the most times I been here I did spend a lot of money. Their wing night was pretty good because I do like their wings, but definitely get there early because a lot of people come out for that. The down part about the wing night is your not allowed to take any wings home, which I thought to be upsetting. Whatever you don't eat gets thrown out so beware how many you order. The service is defiantly slow, there have been numerous times where I say there for 15-20 minutes without any service and even after we get a server, it takes forever to order something. The alcohol price is probably about the same in the other area bars and the bar atmosphere isn't all that amazing. This bar aside from others that I have been to is better with the underage drinking, there always seems to be the right age group and perhaps older. I do like that fact that they have live bands outside and upstairs and also other live music and festivities.

    The service is atrocious. Ordered a cold cut sandwich and it took a half hour. Saw our waitress about every twenty minutes. Hot food took anywhere between a half hour to an hour. Some people who were there before my party arrived ordered before us and did not get their food until after we got our food (they were fuming). The sandwich I got was as big as my head but the meat was super fatty. The only positive I can say is the prices are affordable.

    Review is for Sunday $5 pitchers of Miller Lite and $.35 wings. Wings were yummy and they had my garlic parmesan. My friend loved the hot wings. They have a big bar menu. Booths and lots of TVs to watch the game.

    Great food, great environment, reasonable pricing for their craft beer list and awesome place for parties out on their new beer garden on the patio!! This location is also being voted for the best wings in philly!! Here is the website to read the review for Curran's inn @ tacony!! phillyhotlist.cityvoter.…

    So I did it. I went back for more...the girl on the phone was actually really nice and friendly, said the food would be ready in 20 minutes (girl please, this ain't my first rodeo, I'll see you in 40). We got there and the food was (gasp) ready!! It was completely dead in there, I'm assuming that's why. They only forgot 2 sides and mixed up one item, which is a good day for them! but.....and this is the real dealbreaker......they changed the french fries!!!!!!! That was the ONLY reason I caved and ordered. They used to have these thick cut, skin on, crispy, seasoned french fries that were just the most amazing things on the planet when dipped in their BBQ sauce. Now they serve generic, frozen, soggy fries. My heart is broken. The BBQ sauce is still the same recipe. But everything else was just off (even the chicken fingers, which used to be so fresh and good, are now definitely bought frozen and in bulk) . I guess Curran's and I are breaking up for real this time :(

    Haven't been here in years but I used to come for my birthday and drinks after work. Nice atmosphere. AlwYs has live bands. They've renovated and made it more welcoming. Nice outdoor area. Parking sucks though.

    I was in today for lunch ... From the time I walked in to the time I left it was over an hour the food was good but it just took forever and waited over 5 mins to refill my beverage.., good thing I don't have work today!! I won't be back

  • Mike D.

    They had some funky deals going on the Friday night I came but apparently a good happy hour. It was a $7 dollar cover for either the band or the free drinking that lasted until 7:30. It was then $30 all you can drink that I didn't participate in. Regardless, I thought people were having a good time. It was packed throughout the night and I was able to easily head into the inside bar and bathroom without trudging through too many people. Outside it seemed to be an all well-drink selection but you can get a few better beers and liquor at the inside bar. Even though it was packed, the outside bartenders were attentive

  • James R.

    Absolutely love this place. I've been here more times than I can count (even had my graduation party here) and will keep coming back for sure. I definitely recommend it. $$ - 70.20 for a 15 wing sampler, two cheesesteaks, BBQ pork sandwich, buffalo chicken wrap, 6 pints, and a sprite. Drinks - the bar at Curran's is stocked pretty well with lots of different drafts, including several IPAs and craft brews. happy hour Mon-Thurs $2 domestic pints. my only complaint in this section is the coldness of the brews. they're not warm but they could definitely be colder. Food - Curran's is definitely more bar than restaurant, but the menu is big and the food is good. the wings are known around here because they're delicious. Cajun is the best flavor, but I love them all. the cheesesteaks are good also. Service - not good by wait staff, bar staff is good. they're all very nice, but we could've gotten our refills faster walking to the bar ourselves than by the waitress. manage your expectations here. Ambiance - sports bar! lots of TVs throughout so you won't miss your game. indoor and outdoor bars (summer time with the awning makes for a nice time). trivia: the seats they use for the restaurant are made from the old pews of our local church and Catholic school (representing St. Bernard's). big windows mean lots of natural light and nice breeze. there's also a juke box! Extra - Fridays there's live music and Saturdays there's a DJ and live music. shuffleboard in the bar area! one thing I must add: sometimes there's minimal parking on the street if you're coming up State Road (southbound) towards the new 95 on-ramp. make that right at the light on Longshore and there should be parking along Longshore. if not there's a parking lot right there on the left (next to the on ramp) which always has room.

    I first gave this place a try several years ago, when they were cited as having the "Best Wings" in that year's Best of Philly report. I thought I'd walked onto the set of "Cheers" in that the staff there treated me like an old friend from the neighborhood. I was happy to discover that the raves for the wings were not overstated -- especially with their Cajun variety -- very good, indeed. I've been back many times since, and have sampled a number of their other dishes -- their cheesesteak is one of the unknown gems, the burgers are great, the meat loaf platter is a joy, and I'm told they have the best crabcakes in the city (I can't partake due to allergies). Add to that a goodly supply of excellent beer on tap, plus prices that will happily fit within the most frugal budget, and you've got a winner! During the summer, they also offer live music on their outside "patio" (a fenced-off section of the parking lot).

    let me mention again that i was in the service industry for 18 years. no matter what kind of day ive had, my customers only saw me smile. i met up with friends for a bday thing. being gorgeous weather, we picked this place for the outside. as soon as i sat down, the waitress barked at me. she told another friend to make her life easier by ordering something he didnt want. really? and he did it to not piss her off anymore. when i got there, my friends had already warned me she was a bitch. i couldnt believe her attitude. i was the only one not drinking beer. my 1st drink took almost 20 minutes to get there. when i asked for an ashtray for the table, she told me to get up and get it from the bar. really again? it wasnt busy in there at this time, but when she came to the table to ask us if we wanted something, she would roll her eyes. so, after my 2 drinks, i settled out with her and over tipped, cause thats what i do. i cant help it. even if you dont deserve it. later i go to the bar and im completely ignored for 10 minutes. while the chick behind the bar flirted and waited on every dude. even the ones who came up clearly after me.my guy friend had to get her attention for me as im standing there with money in hand as she completely passed me by 100 times. finally ready to place my order of a bottled water (i dont drink n drive) they dont sell it. what? i have no option but to drink tap water from your disgusting soda guns that probably havent been cleaned ever? i didnt eat the food. couldnt get a drink. got treated like shit. the 2 stars is for outside seating. and i can usually have a good time anywhere. but i will not be back.

    Ah, Currans. My memories aren't those related to the dozens of mega big screens and rows of flashy middle aged moderately obese women flaunting what they think they still have after getting drunk off of two Miller High Life bottles...mine are more of the drunken hot nights while watching people make a fool of themselves dancing to Secret Service or of the days in the fall listening to some half decent cover bands. Sure, the cheesy Q-102 back-in-the-day quirkiness of Secret Service still brings a smile to my face at times when I am in the Northeast but the laid back style, cool mosaic tables, and vast beer selections have been kicked to the curb by way too many plasma screens and frat-boy beer selections. You cannot even hold a conversation in the place anymore because everyone is drawn to the boob tube with drool hanging off of their lip watching groups of overpaid rejects pass some sort of ball around. I will say that Pudgy DOES in fact have THE best wings I have ever had, the French Dip is bangin' (my attempt at South Philly cool), and the meatloaf is half decent - but nothing compared to McGillans. You get quite a mouthful for the $7-$10 for a meal but if you can't deal with the sports bar atmosphere get there real early or not at all.

    I agree with quite a few of you. I'd rather be at the one in Bensalem than in the area of Tacony. You got the damn bikers coming in with their lovely women they ride in with & a whole lotta rift-raft. I want to be able to enjoy a cold one without worrying if there's going to be a fight with all the bums who are already drunk or high or someone taking my wallet. Bensalem is just a finer class of people. I'm not saying Tacony is scum, far from it, I'm just saying that the atmosphere up in Bensalem have better sights (women) who are a bit more attractive than the bar hogs I've seen here. I just basically get my wings & scadoodle. The wings at both places are the same~ "FANTASTIC" !!!

    Ahh the memories...I'm pretty sure I watched about 40 consecutive Eagles games at this super-sketchy establishment, as well as many many happy hours during my tenure as a Philadelphia school teacher. Best wings, anywhere, without question. I can't comment on the last reviewers opinion that its a "yuppie" bar, having moved out of Philly 2 years ago (and I'm not sure why he's complaining that they have new TV- the circa 1984 big screen wasn't exactly the best viewing experience), but I can't for the life of me imagine that its the case. And even if it is, the food still rocks. Buffalo wings? Amazing. Cajun or honey barbecue wings? Even better. Filet mignon sandwich? Incredible.

    I had a good time, but I'm pretty sure that was due to the company I was with. The waitress was short with us and looked so busy even though it wasn't that busy in the restaurant. She had two other tables. The food took FOREVER to come out even though it was just shepard's pie and wings. The good wasn't anything memorable in any way. Mixed drinks with Stoli were just $4, though.

    Amazing wings! My favorites are garlic parm and BBQ. The service is good but one BIG downside is that once they bring out the wings you either have to find your server or wait for a long while to order additional things, even drinks!

    Went for: Thursday night $0.35 wings Great - Cajun Wings Bad - Wait time for food Went with some friends, got a table after a couple minutes waiting and we placed our order. 35 minutes later they bring out our fries, 50 minutes after we ordered we finally got our wings. We were told every 5 mins it would be just another minute. That got old and real annoying. It took about 15-25 minutes for anything else we asked for, including the check, soda, or soup. Not sure if it was the kitchen or our waitress was just that bad. Would still go back.

    This is probably my least favorite Curran's location (the best-in my opinion-being the one on Bristol Pike) but it is still a good bar. It clearly was not built for the size of the crowd it now gets, so it does get extremely packed. But they usually have great live music & awesome food. Curran's is a great time.

  • Jason S.

    If I could leave zero stars I would have. I just got THE WORST wings I've ever had in my life....I keep hearing good things about them, so I wanted to give them a try. My friend got the Cajun wings and he said he liked them, but I got Hot wings. Well what I got instead was a plate full of cold, dry, hard wings, with NO hot sauce on them. What the hell? for $10? I can go to Smoke eaters pub for $6 and get a huge platter of juicy wings full of hot sauce!!! Never again will I go to Currans!!!!

    Went for happy hour and the prices and service were good. Live bands started at 7 pm on a Friday upstairs for the free happy hour someone my wife works with won. Although not many people she works with showed up we still had a good time. Before we left we ducked into the downstairs dining room. Figured that I read so much about the wings that we had to try some. We started with the sampler platter (you get to choose three diferent types) and they were big, meaty and delicious. Also tried the filet mignon sandwich was very good as well. We were going to order fries but the waitress advised that the sandwich came with plenty to share. The overall experience was pretty good and I could see going back for more of those wings.

    A friend of mine absolutely loves this place and kept telling me how much i needed to go here and try the wings. The first time i went i wasn't impressed but i decided to give it another chance and so i went back today. I had a craving for wings so me and two of my friends came here. When we arrived there was about 20 to 25 people in the place. About 10 at the bar and the rest were in the dining room. Upon sitting down we were immediately greeted by the server and we had our drinks fairly quickly. The service we received was the best part of this experience. I decided to order the wings again to give them another chance. The other two people i was with got wings as well along with cheese fries and onion rings. In case any of you don't know, everything we ordered gets put in a deep fryer and voila 5 minute later they should be on the table. Now with a busy service the fryer can be backed up but 15 minutes should be the extent of the wait it should take with the business they had. We sat there eating celery and blue cheese for over a half hour while countless people came in to pick up there to go orders and other tables received all of their food. The server was nice and comped our drinks for the wait, which was very nice, but we were all displeased with the wait for food. When the food finally arrived it was mediocre at best. The hot sauce was just plain hot sauce but the garlic wings had some nice flavor. The wings themselves were dry and overcooked. I understand how places do not want to serve raw chicken but you cant just cook the chicken to smithereens. The rest of the food was also just OK. Cheese sauce was watered down cheese whiz and the onion rings were nothing special. I do not have a problem eating frozen foods that go right into a deep fryer and into a plastic basket but i want to pay the appropriate price for them. The prices are high for the quality of food they have. I'm unsure as to the quality of the rest of their menu but they are suppose to be famous for their wings and the wings are not good at all. Fortunately the service was really good and the beer was cold which was nice. I do not think i will be back to this place. There are other places in the northeast i can go for wings and pay less for better quality.

    Work right by there..Went to call in a pickup for 50 wings and other food for my office and the phone # just made fax sounds for 20 minutes. Service is good and the food is great but no drink specials ever. There are a ton of other places around with $1.50 beers and shot specials but go here during the day and you're paying ridiculous prices for a light beer.

  • Sarah B.

    Do you know why Curran's gets five stars? Nevermind the cool-ish but uncomfortable church pew seating, the inefficient wait staff, the long waits, the unremarkable beer selection, or the fact that it's in Tacony. It's the motherfucking wings. I'm pretty sure they're eagle wings, not chicken wings, and they're f-ing amazing. If Curran's was serving wings out of a discarded refrigerator box under 95, I would still go for the wings, and they would still get five stars.

  • Terry G.

    Curran's, Curran's, Curran's how you have let me down over the years. Curran's at one time was the model Irish Pub with dim lighting and a fuzzy TV. The beer was cheap and it was a fun time. Now all I can say is that Curran's has sold out. Curran's now has all the appeal of Paddy Whacks or Cavanaugh's in University City. In the main dining area there are enough flat screen TV's to fill a Best Buy show room. The beer selection is pitiful, the bar displays a Harp sign but carries no Harp, however they due have plenty of the sports bar and yuppie swill that seems to have infected the bar culture. If I could give 5 stars for the food I would do it in a heartbeat. Pudgy's wings are incredible. The cajun wings are awesome and even better when you get them to go. (This way you don't have to be forced to watch an ESPN marathon). If you want a Friday night of hanging out with washed up musicians, cover bands, crazed sports fans and some folks that have a tough time holding their booze this is your place.

  • Ken M.

    This was my first visit, we decided to catch an E-A-G-L-E-S game at the inside-bar. The beer selection was run-of-the-mill. The Buffalo wings (naked style, not breaded) were very tasty, up there with some of my favorites. The chicken fingers were also good. The bartenders were nice and attentive. Here's the kicker though: The bar was running a special on Miller Lites........ The bartender was having problems getting good pours from the Miller Lite keg (clogged tap line?). We witnessed her ask someone (manager or bar back?) to help her out........ Not sure if this person had checked the far-end of the tap line but the next thing we see is him whispering to her in her ear.... then we see her unscrew the Miller Lite tap handle and swap it out with the Budweiser tap handle.......... We then see her pour a pitcher of 'Miller Lite' (which is actually Budweiser now) and serve it to the dude sitting near us who ordered Miller Lite. That is shady! Bars get fined for these types of shenanigans. Glad we were drinking bottled beer. I can see this place being more of a ''regulars'' bar. Who knows, if I am in the mood for wings and I am in the area, I would probably stop back again.
