Yes, I ate at the Dock Street restaurant back in March (on my way to the Barnes Foundation exhibit at the Art Museum). My brother and I enjoyed our meals, more than I expected, in fact. You have to order their basket of french fries - really good. It was an interesting menu, and we loved the beer selection. Good choice for lunch.

      I've eaten at the Dock Street many times.  The food is good
Pub fare.  The triple fries (potato, sweet potato and leek) are a great greasy treat.

Yo Kim S -

You asked about the food at the Dock Street.  They used to serve an incredible Welsh Rarebit - only place in Philadelphia which I know serves it - but recently took it off their menu because they (according to an ex-employee) wanted to get away from classic pub fare in favor of a more avant garde cuisine.  Things are in flux now, which may or may not be good.  But there beer is worth the meal.  If you go there, do me a favor and tell them how much you miss the Welsh Rarebit.
