Powered by GoogleIf this is connected to the Inc NorthPhilly basketball team, I had a group of boys come in with their coaches tonight to eat, and let’s just say they were the rudest and worst part of my night. The coaches were flirting with and hitting on me all night. The boys were making jokes like, “I don’t like tomatoes on my burger, but I eat ass… is that okay?” and none of the coaches corrected their behavior. The card the coaches paid with was tied to “Inc NorthPhilly,” and they did let me know they were from Philadelphia. I worked hard to make sure they were happy and that the food was great, which they did let me know I was a good server for. But then they took 30 minutes to figure out how to pay and barely even tipped 15%. I had to step outside and cry afterward because I don’t make hourly, and I had just spent two hours with this table for the bare minimum. They had no problem eating, but they had a big problem tipping. I am extremely ashamed of the coaches for not teaching these boys to be men, and even more ashamed that the coaches acted like children themselves. If this is not the north Philadelphia basketball team then please let me know and I will delete the review. As I’m only going off of the coaches card. Thank you.
Great facility for the youth and adults of the city and surrounding area.
My grandson took a clinic today. Had the experience of a lifetime. So well run. Kenny Holdsman is the most amazing person ever. I’d give 10 stars if I could
This is a great basketball facility with an authentic Philadelphia feel. The staff is friendly and very helpful. It’s a great place to play basketball or to host an event.
This place is a beacon of positivity and is way more than basketball. My children love it here. This is a well ran organization and I look forward to seeing their growth in our city and beyond.
