My first experience at the J3rk Hut was a great one - outdoor dining, live music, good service and great food.
We decided to visit the Hut again since it was a beautiful evening and it would have been great to enjoy the band and food outdoors. Upon arriving we were disappointed to find out that due to ""zoning issues"" the outside was closed and there would be no entertainment. We took a table in the veranda which was nice enough. As a side note, you must order a minimum of $12 per person to sit in the veranda. Not sure why this is..
From here it was downhill. Service was awful! Our server seemed clueless and had to come back at least a few times to tell us that food we ordered was ""out."" This included a few key J3rk items despite their specialty being J3rk. My husband tried to order a red snapper prepared without J3rk (since they were out) and it was clearly not a snapper that arrived.
I think one of the main draws of the J3rk Hut was the outdoor atmosphere, which can almost make you forget about the bad service.
There are too many great restaurants in Philly to waste your time and money here.
Pros: coconut shrimp, BYOB
Cons: service, lack of items on menu, no outside dining
