Review Ranch Burger - Patterson

This used to be my favorite place, however, since the pandemic the food doesn’t seem as good and the service is not as attentive. The food is mediocre at best. The bread is disappointing. Meat dishes are a better bet than the fish these days— I miss the old prime rib Sunday special! I really hope they can regain their former quality. Knock is an important and essential space for older gay men and anyone else seeking a nice meal in the Gayborhood; the bar is classy rather than tawdry. I’ll keep going back occasionally just to support their existence, but they do need to find a balance between quality and costs in this pandemic-saturated economy.

Terrific selection of palatable entrées. Prompt seating alfresco. Tasty corn beef sandwich was prepared exactly as described. An apparent hot spot for locals, our waitress was amenable and thought provoking about dining and living accommodations.

Visited Knock for the first time this evening with a large group of colleagues and it was a fair experience. Located in a historic district, Knock is one of several local businesses and shops. My party consisted of fifteen (15) professionals, all with eclectic palettes. The menu has several different options ranging from seafood, burgers, and pastas. Overall, I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the food. You’ll notice several different food options via the pictures I upload. Personally, I ordered the jumbo crab cake, as an appetizer and seafood alfredo. The jumbo crab cake, came on a bed of warm spinach and a tomato based sauce. The crab cake was not jumbo and was okay. The consistency of the crab cake was not to my liking, nor was its firmness and taste. Overall, for the cost, it wasn’t worth the value. The seafood Alfredo consists of scallops, cod fish, and shrimp. I asked could the pasta only be shrimp and the restaurant was able to accommodate that. I was very impressed with my waitperson’s follow-up to ensure that I got what I wanted. Unfortunately, the Alfredo sauce was watery and the shrimp seemed boiled. Overall, it was eatable, but not on my list of favorite dishes. Several of my colleagues ordered the NY Strip, medium well, and some of their orders can me back rare. Rare to the point that we had to send it back. Overall, the staff was friendly, the food was average, but I enjoyed the company of my colleagues in their large dining area. I don’t plan on coming back!

Excellent dining experience. Service was great and food very tasty... especially the calamari. Will definitely be back!!

I love this place. While there may be a lot of bars in the gayborhood very few make a good drink. Venture Inn used to be one of them before it closed. Knock makes a great martini. It would be kind of weird getting a martini in the other bars. They also have the best selection of liquors. As far as I know they are the only bar to have Plymouth gin. I can't remember exactly the brand ( might be Dolin) but they use good vermouth as well. I always make it a point to stop there for a drink on a special occasion. The food is also really good but it has been a while since I have ordered anything besides a martini. It is especially great during pride because the crowd is more mature and you can get a drink that isn't served in a plastic cup. I also posted my favorite seat in the house. The little round table by the door.

They have THE BEST, chicken tenders and honey mustard in the Philadelphia area. My go to spot whenever I’m in town. Can’t wait to visit soon!

I would give this place a one but the lowest is a 1. I call right before I came and asked so we have to have a reservation the gentleman stated no and that they are not busy my friend and I walked in and and the woman who greeted us at the hostess station said to me that they are not serving food at 4pm at a bar restaurant. I instantly felt discriminated against.

Very wonderful service, comfortable dinning, and the foods were "delish"!
