I’ve been going to The Grog for several years, but there has been a drastic decline in both service and quality. The prices have become OUTRAGEOUS, especially the drinks. I used to like The Grog because it was casual pub fare and reasonably priced, for Main Line standards. That is not the case these days. Their liquor is far more expensive than nearby bars of similar casual scale, and I’m pretty sure their “pints” of beer are still 12 ounces, unlike the standard 16 ounces. Additionally, while I acknowledge that there is a national staff shortage, most of their staff act like they’re being held there against their will. You’d think that if you work for tips, you’d at least attempt to give friendly service. I keep giving this place chance after chance, hoping that they regain the quality and value that they’ve lost in recent years, to no avail. One of the more recent times I stopped in, the manager’s rudeness was enough to push me out the door. Tonight was the icing on the cake, though. We stopped in for a drink at the bar, and when we got our check (for 2 drinks), the bartender had added 20% gratuity, without telling us before she swiped our card. Now, I always tip 20-25%, even if the service is lackluster (which it was tonight). But the fact that the bartender added gratuity for a party of TWO, was offensive and unprofessional. I’m sure she had been adding gratuity for all of her bar patrons’ checks, many of which appeared intoxicated when I was there, so I doubt they noticed, and I can only assume that they likely tipped ON TOP of the gratuity that the bartender already added for herself. I almost made that mistake after having just one drink, so I imagine the others would not have noticed that she had already tipped herself on their checks. That was the last straw for me. Needless to say, I won’t be back. If you want tasty bar food and good service, the Main Line has plenty of better offerings.

The drinks and atmosphere are good, but boy golly were those burgers mediocre, especially for the price. I gotten burgers at plenty of places and the cooking oil and grease overpowered the taste of everything else. The fries were fine, but I've never had a worse tavern burger.
