"came here on a Thursday and the environment was pretty fun. To my surprise as the evening got later there was a game night it seems because a dj was handing out bingo sheets throughout the place. It was a pleasant surprise. A lot of people played including myself and the prizes were pretty cool. I just came for drinks but I will be back for both drinks AND food. The bartender was very nice and attentive. This place is clean and the drinks were nicely made. I'd say the bartender i had definitely knew what she was doing my drink was strong. It was called a lavender moon."
"Visiting from Austin Texas. Not bad sandwiches, pretty good ! Very nice selection of local beers."

"This is a no-nonsense, no-frills cafe. I placed my order on a touch screen and sat down. I ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Both of which were good. They weren't knock-me-over great, but they hit the spot. It was a relaxing way to kill some time in the morning and get a more substantial breakfast than the "bacon, egg, and cheese on white toast" that so many places offer."
"Stopped by recently for 8 assorted hoagies and 8 assorted cheese steaks to take on a long trip back to the Washington DC area. All made right after opening time in the morning. The ladies were all wonderful to chat with while waiting. They packaged the meats and the fixings individually in plastic wrap separate from the 'to die for' bread that's the key to a good Philly hoagy or cheese steak. I didn't think of that nor ask for it. All on their initiative once they knew this was a take out to DC. Of course I tipped them big time! Look, I don't know if they are the BEST steaks and hoagies in Philly. But they are the BEST me and my guests - all Philly natives - have had in years."
"A friend of mine was having a evening brunch party which I thought was interesting because I never had evening brunch. First thing I noticed when I walked up to the place is that it felt like an event space that was operating as a brunch space in the daytime which was kind of cool. I walked in and they were decorations a DJ lots of lights that were dim and food everywhere! It felt a little compact in there because there were a bunch of people but I'm sure on a regular day there's plenty of space. I would never have noticed this space in the daytime because there are so many little businesses packed on that little block. What's surprise me the most was the strawberry shortcake French toast which was completely amazing. The chicken and waffles was also good. Everything was family style that day so I got to try a little bit of everything but only took pictures of what I actually tried. I'm glad my friend had a party here and put this place on my radar because if I'm in the area again, it'll be the first place I think of in terms of getting breakfast or brunch. I definitely left stuffed and happy!"
"The pizza crust is the best that I've had ate from this area, plenty of fresh options"
"If you are looking for high standard, classic Philly sandwiches, then look no further than your Home Depot. Wait...what? That's right - I said it, and I can't believe, but the Rocco's sandwich joint outside HD is actually slinging some great food - from classic sausage and peppers, to their speciality breakfast sandwich - "the gavone." One of the most accurately named sandwiches, because I felt like a pig afterwords, but I enjoyed every second of eating it.This breakfast sando is a combination of eggs, steak, peppers, potatoes, onions, cheese, and their hot sauce. This will fill you up for the entire day, and it was delicious! Only served till 10:30, so don't sleep in and miss it."
"We missed the breakfast offered at our hotel, so we searched Yelp for something not far away and saw Nudy's and one other place on Bridge Street. The other place did not appear to be open so we ended up at Nudy's. It turned out to be a good omen.We were seated promptly about 10:30am. The menu is extensive with breakfast being served all day. We started with coffee, $2.99/cup, with refills.My wife ordered the Salmon Florentine ($15.99) - two poached eggs, with spinach and salmon topped with hollandaise sauce, served on an English muffin with home fries. She did not care for the hollandaise sauce and thought the home fries could have spent more time on the griddle getting crisped.I ordered the Farmer's omelet ($12.99) - I don't know how many eggs, but it seemed like more than two, with ham, sausage, peppers, onions, and bacon. It came with a side of home fries, and I chose to add raisin toast for an upcharge of $.35. I agree with my wife that the home fries would have been more to our liking if they were crispier. The toasted raisin bread was very good. It was thickly sliced and flavorful. I also enjoyed my omelet, but I can't say it was outstanding.After reading another reviewer's comment, I do feel obliged to comment that the men's restroom was very clean. I did find it very difficult to connect with Yelp while sitting inside. Initially, my search only found Nudy's - Audubon, so checked in there by mistake."
"The fact that I just visited Sulimay's for the first time, is a personal letdown. I can't imagine how often I would eat here if I lived closer to Girard. If you want a taste of Fishtown, then look no further...this diner has all the feels of what Fishtown represents: from the wait staff, to the art on the walls, to their menu (which has specific callouts and creations that showcase culinary ties to the local neighborhoods).I was completely blown away with my dish, which was scrapple and white fish mix with eggs. I am not embarrassed to say this, but I had an audible expression after my first bite...which immediately drew the attention of my family sitting with me, and they knew that I had ordered the winning plate. This is something that I've never seen on the menu anywhere else, it was the perfect combination of crunchy/spicy/buttery and dense. Also, when they ask you the option of the type of potatoes you want, you have to go with their home fries - unreal!it's a local vibe without the "locals only" expectations. This is absolutely a visitors destination for breakfast or lunch and one that you should try to schedule in, no matter where you're staying at in the city."
"Johnny's Hots are known for their hot sausages. You can get a variety of hot sausage sandwiches. On one of my morning walks to Penn Treaty Park I decided to stop by and see for myself if the sausages lived up to the hype. I ordered a Sausage, egg & cheese. It comes on like a hoagie roll. I also saw a tasty looking apple danish and grabbed that too. I sat in the park to eat my meal. I am happy to report that the sausage lived up to the hype. It is just the right amount of hot, not overpowering. And It's very juicy. The sandwich was made with the perfect ratio of sausage to egg to cheese. I devoured it! It was soo good! The roll was slightly chewy, which makes me think it wasn't the freshest. The apple danish was a tasty treat I'm glad that I ordered to end my meal with. The big negative to Johnny's Hots is that it's a cash only business. That's ridiculous in 2022. You lose far more business than you save in fees when u don't accept credit cards. I rarely carry cash, so I can rarely stop here for those mouth watering sausages. Such a shame."
"Ground Up Cafe is a great neighborhood spot. I go regularly for their sandwiches. I like their chicken salad on either a wrap or croissant the best! I also order the tuna salad sandwich regularly. And sometimes I order the BLT or bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant...both of those sandwiches are good, too! The think I appreciate the most is the consistency of how the chicken salad and tuna salad are made. You always know what you're going to get. It's not like some places where the consistency or flavors change day by day. So hats off to the Ground Up team for doing what they do so well! Ground Up has a solid base of regular customers, which I think speaks highly of the cafe. Also, I like the music they play - Whoever picks the music has great taste!"
"So this place wasn't on yelp but the food is WAY too delicious not to be on here. The food taste like my uncle from down south was on the grill in a linen outfit and leather sandals(iykyk). I got the ribs, Mac n cheese(taste lie my moms) yams and green beans. I had it delivered and they didn't have the chocolate cake I ordered, the worked called to offer me alternates and added and extra dessert for the inconvenience. Can't beat great food with great service. The place is unassuming but don't miss out!"

This spot was selected for our Mother's Day Brunch outing. The name does not do it justice as it is much much more than just a "bar".We had reservations, arrived slightly earlier and was seated right away. Stephanie our waitress was awesome, she had the best vibe, great personality and was thorough in her presentation of specials and suggestions.I had already picked out what I was eating after viewing a reel someone posted on Instagram. I ordered the Loaded Home Fries, Bananas Foster French Toast, a side of Turkey Bacon and of course a MOMOSA. Baybeee!!! That smoked gouda gravy on them loaded home fries sent me into something! Pure perfection, they got them home fries so absolutely right!! They were better than I imagined them tasting.The other two orders were the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken & Waffles (sorry didn't get the pic at the restaurant when it came out) but there was a to-go order placed before we left.Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was bustling as it was a Mother's Day Sunday afternoon, if I lived in Philly I'd frequent this establishment on a consistent basis. I enjoyed myself here and the quality of the food stood up to the prices. Check them out!

I decided to stop in here recently on my way home from Boathouse Row and I'm so happy I did! I did not know where to go for a bite to eat in the neighborhood and Yelp recommended Rybrew. It is a cute sandwich, salad and brew shop. It has high ceilings and a lot of natural light. It seems like the perfect place to grab a drink and snack after work. They offer trivia and bingo nights. We tried the Tucson sandwich and it was incredible. The ingredients tasted super fresh and the bread was perfectly crispy. I do think the prices here are a bit high ($11 for a turkey sandwich!) but it was a really amazing sandwich.

I stumbled upon this spot while on a walk looking for a quick coffee, and now I look forward to my walks just to have it! At first, I tried to keep this gem to myself, but it's too good not to share.On my first visit, I ordered the hamwich, a hash brown, and a smoothie. While the smoothie wasn't my favorite, the hamwich was so incredible that I had to come back and take one home. The ham was thick and juicy, and the cheese was perfectly gooey.But the real star for me is the horchata latte--I couldn't stop raving about it to my friends! It's such a unique and delicious menu item. I also tried the breakfast platter, which was super convenient for my healthy eating goals, and the ingredients tasted so fresh.If you go, make sure you get the hamwich and the horchata latte. You won't regret it!

Let me start with that LaSpada's is my go-to hoagie spot. There are so many of them around and many, MANY of them are good. But none of them are LaSpada's. None of them deliver the same way they do, with perfect seeded bread, great quality meat, high quality cheeses, and everything perfectly stacked and squeezed so nothing falls apart. They also aren't the cheapest, but considering the menu prices I've seen lately for cheesesteaks and hoagies elsewhere, they are still on the softer side of the pocket, providing SO MUCH sandwich for the moderate price tag. Steering away from the Old Fashioned Italian is very hard for me because it is just so dang good. However, I have had many different things on their menu, essentially running all the way through the hoagie list, trying their cheesesteak the way I like it prepared, boneless wings, salads, etc. and nothing I have had has ever been disappointing. Never cold, but I have never had delivery. I am someone who generally will prefer to pick up their own food, simply because I'm usually out and about anyway, and you can never account for who is delivering your food, or what happens between the time it leaves and when it gets to you. Although, I have heard their delivery is legendary for being quite quick. In my many travels here, I have had the opportunity to sit down and eat, and the space is pretty typical for a sandwich spot in Delco. No frills, but why should you need them when all you're looking for is a delicious sandwich that will fill you up and make you smile and want to take a nap afterward. The rotating cast of characters behind the counter are generally the same four or five people I usually see, and they're all generally nice; I have never had a bad experience or bad encounter, but it is the kind of classic place where you are expected to get your order over with and keep it moving, whether that be in person or over the phone. Some people may be bothered by that, but that's a general feature of living in the Philadelphia area, and if you're not used to it yet, you're likely not from here, or simply not adjusted to it yet.....you will eventually. Besides, everything here is worth it, and this should definitely be your next stop when a sandwich is on the bill.

I was so surprised to find this delicious brunch spot in my neighborhood. We need more businesses like this. Please support!. All of the food that we tried was incredibly delicious. I especially enjoyed the Hawaiian roll. French toast and cinnamon roll waffles. there's a parking lot across the street and the service was impeccable.

Zesto Pizza and Grill got me through the Pandemic with all their deliciousness!But seriously, their pizza is incredible. I normally order the White Margherita Pizza or just a regular plain pizza, so I can really only vouch for those two pies. They put a generous amount of cheese on their pizza, and the crust isn't overly thick or super thin. It's perfect. I also ordered a chicken caesar salad once that exceeded my expectations. The portion was huge, and they used high quality ingredients.Definitely recommend this spot to people driving through Roxborough/Manayunk!

This was my second visit but this time I chose a new location. I paid a visit to the Nudys in Malvern & it was just as fun. I came with my dad his sister and my two cousins. Everything was great. The food was hot, the portions just right and the service was attentive. This location is in a great neighborhood and centrally located. My dad is handicapped and it was no problem with our entrance or exit. I got breakfast with pancakes, eggs, bacon & home fries. It was delicious!! The two things that stuck out were the pancakes-omg probably the best I ever had. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the portion was just what I wanted. I feel like a lot of places skimp on the bacon lol. I'll be back soon, the location you ask... You'll find out in the next review hehe

"This coffee shop is brand new, and already doing so well. I was there the other day, and it was really crowded, which was great to see. The perfect spot to do remote work in. The staff is great, and the most important part? The coffee and the blueberry tart I had were delicious. I obviously have to come back and try more, but I loved how extensive the menu is. You don't always get several food options from a coffee shop, so this is a huge bonus! I loved my experience here, and I'll be back really soon!Also, P.S. they are open 7 days a week!"
"What a wonderful addition to the booming Francisville neighborhood. This is the perfect spot to grab take out or to relax on your own or with a couple of colleagues or friends. They have a great menu and the owner, manager, and all the employees were very friendly. Was served a perfect latte by Devon. This is my new favorite coffee shop in the area. I just wish I knew it existed sooner."
"It's a perfect spot. No kidding. Years ago it was a few blocks away. It's in new digs. Modem but old school. A few tables and a very limited menu but it's sublime. Just sandwiches and not that many of those. Breakfast sandwich is crazy good. Had a steak egg and cheese. It was huge and perfectly made. Friend had ham egg and cheese on a croissant. It was just right. The store is clean and minimalist. Coffee was very good. The whole bill was under $20 . I can't recommend more highly."
"Cold Brew Coffee Quest #7With the start of summer in Philly, my wife and I are determined to find the best Cold Brew Coffee that our city has to offer! No national chains allowed.-Overall Score: 3 out of 5-Pros: Prime location for West Philly Porchfest caffeine boost and airy + rustic café architecture-Cons: Singular dark + roasty flavor and served in a plastic cup"
"Ever just stop and say I'll grab a slice to curb my hunger ? Yeah that's how we walked into John's. This was absolutely delicious and I will admit hear "how can I help you baby" from a woman older then I totally made my day."
"The most amazing food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The kid who typically will only eat pasta ate the better part of a brisket sandwich. Love this place!!"
"I am a BIG Tela's fan! It's a great spot in Fairmount for coworking, quick lunches, dates, and an occasional drink. So much to love here: the food, the atmosphere and vibes, bright sunlight, open windows in the summer, and space to spread out.I have enjoyed the yogurt parfait and greek bowl with chicken. They also have really nice egg-based breakfast and brunch options. There is typically a sign in front that denotes whether or not there is service or if you're supposed to order at the bar and sit.There is occasionally bugs flying around and I sometimes wish the market selection was a bit bigger (I think it used to be?) but ultimately it wouldn't be that convenient of a location for me to bop by for specialty items anyways. Pop in for a unique hostess gift, thought! Bottle of wine, etc. Also coffee!Always look forward to my next Tela's trip and appreciate this gem of a spot for existing."
"We stopped by the sandwich club today to grab lunch before heading to the park. My wife has been there prior but today was my first time. This joint is strictly takeout and they offer no seating. The counter girl was nice and pleasant.We ordered the grilled chicken veggie wrap and an Italian hoagie. The wrap was delicious. All of the veggies were cooked well and the chicken was flavored nicely. The wraps come with chips and a pickle. The hoagie on the other hand wasn't great. The roll was nice and fresh, the tomato and lettuce were also nice and fresh. The hoagie looks nice and had a great presentation, it just lacked the flavor. There was no seasoning at all! No salt, pepper, oregano, oil, nothing. The sharp provolone was a nice touch. It was just boring and unforgettable. It's also weird that a sandwich shop only offers one flavor of potato chips. I would return for a wrap, just not a hoagie. Solid 2-3 stars."
"Generally, I liked my experience here.Ambiance: (5/5) there is enough seating for a few people. It is close to the hospital so it is convenient for a lot of people. Price: (4/5) Normal prices are average, but lunch prices are really good. $12 for a bagel sandwich, side and drink. OJ is a slight up charge but it was worth it.Food: (4/5) Bagels are really good for the area, but are not the same as NJ or NY of course. I got the Bahn Mi and it had a great sauce that gave it that Asian twist. The cucumber salad was a great side. It has dill, vinegar, and onions and I would highly recommend.Service: (5/5) Food comes our quick and staff is very nice.In conclusion, I would come here again!"
"Located in the former Chicken Holiday space in the old Middletown Shopping Center, Hubba Hubba is a sub/sandwich/pizza shop using Dietz & Watson provisions and decent rolls and bread for their deli delights. There are a few tables up front, but this is mainly a takeout operation for breakfast and lunch. I was there to satisfy a craving for homemade tuna salad in a torpedo roll, with provolone, tomato, lettuce, hot peppers, and touches of oil, vinegar and mayo. I ate back at my desk in the office. As I unwrapped the zoftig sandwich, I realized is was big enough for two meals, and also sloppy from the liquids leaking out on both ends. Remedied with paper towel underneath, I enjoyed a satisfying first bite from the cool tuna, cheese and trimmings and saw that it was worth what at first appeared to be an exorbitant price ($13+) for a simple sub. Not so bad for two meals, however. Service was pleasantly provided by the ponytailed dude behind the counter, who worked quickly as he spread, scooped, sprinkled, compressed and cut that baby in two. The man had skills. The shop seemed a bit thrown together and unkempt, which might concern the health inspector, but not me. I chowed down half and rewrapped the rest for the trip home. It was messy, so I decided to place it in the empty large coffee cup from this morning in order to save my clothes and car from olive leakage. It fit perfectly with the top on. I think maybe I'm on to something with this carry away packaging!3.5 Stars"
"There aren't really any other choices in Olney. The pizza is better than their cheesesteaks. If you find yourself at LaSalle and are hungry, this would be a good choice."
"Lovely local cafe spot, love their breakfast options, run by friendly folks. My go-to is bacon and egg on a roll. Best way to kick start the day."
"Bower Cafe on Walnut is a lovely addition to the neighborhood. Coffee, friendly service, and early hours? I'm down.Sit window-side and people watch, or relax in their main dining area. High ceilings, natural lighting, and artistic touches add up to a welcoming space. Bring a date, bring friends, or talk business in a corner. There's room for a light crowd, so don't be shy.Besides coffee, you can find cold drinks in the fridge - think sparkling water, draft lattes, etc. Hungry? They've got pastries and sandwiches made-to-order.Find Bower Cafe at 1213 Walnut. Credit accepted, including contactless.FYI they're currently soft opening so review details may be inaccurate."
"I've been back a few times and I have an important update: ROYAL TAVERN HAS THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH IN PHILLY Honestly, it might even be the best grilled cheese sandwich *in the world*"
"Just saw this place opened up and went in to grab a sandwich for the road. The woman behind the counter is friendly and thoughtful. When we told her we were driving, she gave us extra napkins and offered a drink carrier. Fast service. Solid lemonade. My boyfriend loved the bahn mi (and we're pretty picky with our bahn mis so this says something) on the seeded roll (which the woman there recommended) and I got a hoagie. Bread was solid, hoagie was thicc (she did NOT skimp on the meat and cheese) and ingredients were super fresh. We live a block away and will definitely be coming back to try their breakfasts, which sounded bomb. If you live in the area, check this place out! When everything opens up more, this will definitely be a popping spot for folks working on laptops and grabbing lunch."

"Today my husband and I were in the mood for chicken cheesesteaks, but we didn't feel like driving up norf for Maxx's. We searched Grubhub and stumbled upon Tanglewood Fire and Smoke of Folsom, PA. My husband was intrigued by a barbecue place that makes cheesesteaks and once we noticed that they smoke their chicken for the chicken cheesesteak, we were committed to try them out.We each ordered the Smoked Chicken Cheesesteak. It consisted of smoked, pulled chicken and a footlong roll with roasted tomato relish and chipotle queso, topped with fried chicken cracklins (fried chicken skins) and a side of house made pickles and chips. We also order two sides, my husband ordered the Buffalo Pig Bites which were crispy pork belly nuggets tossed in Buffalo sauce with a side of goat cheese ranch. I ordered a small Chipotle Mac & Cheese with the seasoned pork rinds on the side. We both agreed that the Smoked Chicken Cheesesteaks were pretty good. I was looking for the chicken to be a little more like chopped breast meat though I know that it was pulled meat but it was still very tasty. My husband was fond of the smokiness of the chicken and was glad it was not not overshadowed by the queso. I found the queso to be very rich and felt that it overshadowed the tomato relish till the point where the relish wasn't necessary. Overall just a solid cheesesteak. My husband thought the Buffalo Pork Bites were tasty and the goat cheese ranch sauce was a great complement. I thought the Mac & Cheese was just okay."
"Sure it's oddly dated. Like a cross between my moms early 70's Colonial living room set and a 50's diner. I mean this in a nice nostalgic way. The service was pleasant and the owner has a really cute dog. The food was spot on. Crispy grilled cornbread, friend had a perfectly cooked omelette and I had bacon crispy and eggs with hash browns. It was all delicious . It's on the expensive side but breakfast is cheap even when it's expensive. Right by Valley Forge park so you can stop before or after."
"Jet Wine Bar is an excellent location in the city, with the star of the show being their expansive outside seating area. This is is a great location to come on a warm summer afternoon evening, and saample a few wines/snacks. The outdoor area has a lot of tables for seating, and is a bright and colorful space. They have a plethora of interesting wines to try (including orange wines), and the staff were super helfpul in allowing us to sample wines and providing recommendations. We only came here for a drink and a snack, but they had lots of great snacks on thier menu perfect for pairing with wine. We had the hummus (recommended by the staff), and they did not dissapoint. This was an excellent and creamy hummus, paired with toasted pita and marinated olives. This is a definitely a space I will return to for drinks with friends, adn would also be a great location for a summer or fall date!"
"Great Italian specialty spot if your looking for imported Italian groceries and a solid sandwich. When I was a kid my mother used to take me here often for her favorite Mortadella and at the time it was one of the only places you could find Nutella. They still sell Italian playing cards and Italian cornicello to hang so you can ward off the evil eye aka malocchio. Fresh produce, dairy/cheeses, olives, Italian coffees, juices, olive oil, sweets, panettone, fresh bread, deli meats, pints of Bassett's Ice Cream etc., all sold with help from a great staff. On my last visit I asked for an Italian hoagie with proscuitto and extra sharp provolone. I believe the guy told me it also came with hot capicola, genoa salami and pepperoni. It took a little bit to get my sandwich as they were very busy at the deli counter, but it was worth the wait. My sandwich was packed with meat and on a fresh roll (which I believe came from Corropolese, but don't quote me on it). Lots of spicy bite from the hot capicola, great kick from the sharp provolone and wonderful flavor from the proscuitto. Overall, it was a solid above average premium meat Italian hoagie.I took home some Italian wafer cookies, chocolate filled Croissants and a bottle of Brioschi which kicks butt if you ever need all natural quick effervescent digestive relief. (Thankfully I don't have problem often, but when I do, I thank God this stuff exists!) Dattilo's is an older Italian market and doesn't look fancy, but to me it's still a very relevant staple to the Northeast community run by good people."
