Restaurants in Philadelphia

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍”

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.”

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️”

“Riley K was the best server we’ve had at a restaurant in a while, we basically let him order for us and he hit it out of the park. It would be wise to request him if you can. His knowledge and passion for the food is exceptional. He certainly made the experience one to remember. The Dorade was amazing, the skirt steak also incredible. The brown sugar ice cream is 10/10. Not a single thing hit our table that we weren’t 100% impressed with. The after dinner drink he suggested was perfect. Monte negro or something I can’t remember but it’s wonderful. He will take care of you.”

“If I could give 100,00 stars, I would. Service was incredibly friendly, down to us saying how much we loved the sauce and our server brought up a little side of sauce and another piece of bread just so we could savor the flavors a little longer. Each dish truly got better and better. This BYOB spot is a complete standout and you need to RUN HERE. Shoutout to our servers, Maggie and Mary, and Chef Ben for a memorable, absolutely delicious experience.”

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++”

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.”

“Great food, music, and service!”

“The appetizers were incredible! However, the fries were the saltiest I've ever had, and the green beans were charred to the point of being completely blackened.”

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone”

“Great atmosphere and service. The food and desserts are a treat for the tastebuds!”

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible”

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.”

“We had a super delicious meal here on Thursday. My friend and I did a tour of the menu - from beginning to end the food was perfect. Paced well and paired with really amazing drinks. Their take on a dirty martini is a 10/10. Between the food, great music being played and lovely staff - this is a great spot to add to the rotation!”

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?”

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.”

“Awesome good. Never seen a happy hour with such great choices and the food was fantastic.”

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.”

“Great restaurant - highly recommended”

“First time there, excellent food.”

“Fantastic!! Queso fundido with chorizo served with flour tortillas was amazing. The birria tacos are definitely worth getting again. And the drinks were delicious and delightful. The Sangre de Bruja and the Purgotorio!!!”

“You can read a proper writeup of this place from Michelin, so I won't waste anyone's time here. Let's just say I order this food dozens of times a year. You can't go wrong for authentic Mexican in Philadelphia.”

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.”

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!”

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!”

“Menu is limited for lunch, but food was solid. Good beer options on tap. Had the pot roast Sammy and it was good but needed a little more seasoning. Onion dip was good. Had games on hand, which was great for the kids.”

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back”

“Shrimp Tacos crazy good… crab guacamole delish”

“Amazing. Impeccable service and outstanding food and drink. The cocktails are the star, but also the wine from Mexico is mind-blowing… an elegant and tastefully powerful Nebbiolo red blend from Mexico, I mean what… unreal.”

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.”

“My husband and I enjoyed our 39th wedding anniversary dinner. We always have a great time at Maggiano's. Thanks to our server Paulette, she was attentive and very nice. Thanks for a wonderful evening.”

“Wholesome Deli is my go-to place for lunch, Its food is always fresh and delicious. Adel and Jane always spread joy with kindness its just a wonderful intermission in the middle of the day.”

“I had the plov and pickle salad from here and it was delicious! The other items from this Uzbek restaurant look very good too. Looking forward to try more plates from them”

“It was lovely to relax with an espresso martini (made with violets!). This Italian/Asian fusion restaurant is amazing. We enjoyed delicious appetizers, especially the brisket bao. The main courses were delectable and different: orange chicken parmesan and cacao e pepe with meatballs. The chef talked with us about the dishes and treated us to glasses of orangecello (like limoncello) to cap off the meal.”

“Not sure if I'm writing the review for the right location. I ordered the lamb gyro and it was very good. Very flavorful and fresh. If you're in Philly, please give these carts a try. Hardworking people making very good affordable food.”

“My friends and I decided to go to Parks On Tap at Columbus Square Park and we had a great time. The drinks were the best part but the food was nice as well. The staff was very hardworking!”

“Greek Yogurt is the absolute best! Fresh and rich in taste! Portion sizes could be a little bit more generous. 🥲 Highly recommend though.”

“Prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. I’m deaf and both windows were good at getting me my order and food. I’ll be back!”

“I cannot believe how clean the place was, the bathrooms were spotless and the entire club smelled fresh and clean. Sound system and lights were great it seems like they keep the A/C pumping so it doesn’t get all hot and sweaty in there like most other clubs. 10 out of 10 club in philly I will be returning.”

“Café Albania is truly a gem! My wife and I make it a point to come here every Sunday for their incredible Albanian coffee, and it’s become one of our favorite weekly traditions. The coffee is rich, smooth, and authentic—just the way it should be. It’s the perfect way to start our Sunday.

But what really sets Café Albania apart is the exceptional service. The staff always greets us with a warm welcome and treats us like family. There’s a genuine sense of care and hospitality that makes the entire experience feel special every single time.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with top-quality coffee and outstanding service, Café Albania is the place to be. We can’t recommend it enough!”

“Their prices is very reasonable for a case of cupcakes, and even cakes that you would see in a regular supermarket are reasonable. And the taste is amazing. Definitely recommend this place.”

“The owner of the Liberty 🛎️ Bell Diner is there to welcome you with a friendly smile and to see that you have a delicious meal. I enjoy dining there with family and friends.”

“Matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had. I only eat it from here! The open face turkey platter is so delicious I always get it from here. This is me and my mother's lunch date every time we go shopping or doctors appt we stop here to eat!”

“It's talked about so much, I wasn't sure it could live up to the hype, but wow! The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time.”

“This restaurant is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. everytime I feel like having a fair lunchon, this place comes instantly to my head. fresh and all sorts of food and a large menu.trained crew, and agreeable spirit. Also, the bill is honest. I tell about this place with no doubt.”

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!”

“Amazing pastries and coffee! Came in for a quick bfast and enjoyed lots of new flavors.”

“Killer food. Our group had the roast pork sandwich, roast beef sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and Triangle burger. All were delicious. Such a cool space too!”

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.”

“Very cute deli with GIANT portions. Easily split something with another person all the food (including the salad was insane sized). Overall good but my pastrami was a little dry. Very cute historic inside.”

“Your food is delicious and your service excellent. Thank you so much for sharing this food with the public. It is not easy to have a restaurant. Zorbas tavern is a must try place.”

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖”

“This is my new favorite spot! The food is incredible and the drink menu is on point!”

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!”

“Delicious Philly cheese steak. You will not be disappointed. a must if your looking for a top notch Philly cheese steak.”

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.”

“Shrimp and grits is amazing if I were home I would be licking the bowl. Bartender Kelsey was fantastic and very welcoming. Avocado toast is the best I have ever had.”

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.”

“You know, they say it's a dive, and there are elements of that, but the people working here were genuinely friendly. Servers kept checking in, making sure everyone in our party had what they needed, even though it was quite busy.”

“Absolutely loved The Ranstead Room! The atmosphere is intimate and perfect for a special occasion. Bartenders really know their stuff. Will definitely be coming back for more drinks.”

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!”

“A vegan restaurant with a Michelin green star. Well worth the price and the food was great! We got few dishes to try and all of them were delicious. Drinks have a unique flavor and would definitely try more in the next visit.”

“Ate there yesterday and friendly Atmosphere, very friendly and excellent food”

“Been eating there since I was a kid with family in the market. Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.”

“Had the Cheesesteak pizza tavern style which is our go to. We get this quite often and it’s delicious every time. I wish I had a picture but I’ll add next time because I’m sure we’ll have it again shortly”

“This place is awesome. The food is always fresh and the owner is super nice. My go to is the kale Yeah chicken hulk sandwich. I highly recommend!”

“UGH !! best CALDO VERDE IN PHILLY !!! , i found this gem about 2 weeks ago and im a kid on christmas!! the portugese rolls are perfect , but the SOUP ! its unforgettable ! besides the food the customer service is the best i’ve received in philly ! im not a native but i love a place that feels like home & this is my slice ♥ OBRIGADO ..”

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!”

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!”

“My husband took me out to Philly for an early Mother’s Day gift. He said we were going to a “speakeasy” type bar in Chinatown but I didn’t believe him. When we got to an iron screen door, he was like this is it and I was like you got to be kidding me. The owner came out, asked my husband if he knew it was a cash bar took our ids then went inside. The owner brought back our ids then took us inside to a foyer where he told us the rules of the bar. Cash only, absolutely, no photography and no phones. If you need to take a phone call, you go back to foyer area or outside to not disturb people. We agreed to rules and went inside. The bar was dimly lit with candles on each table. The decor was amazing with pictures and antiques on the wall. We were sat at a table and given a cocktail menu. The cocktails were unique and separated by whiskey, gin, vodka and rum. If you need a light since it is so dim in the bar, they will bring you a light because they brought one to my husband. There were no beers on the menu so if that is what you’re looking for then this isn’t the place for you. We ordered our cocktails and they were amazing. Since there is no phone usage, you have more of an intimate experience with the person you are with because you aren’t distracted by your phone. We sat and talked while drinking our drinks. The owner came over and asked us about our drinks and how we were doing. We then ordered another round of drinks and continued talking. We enjoyed our time at Hop Sing Laundromat. Service was great, bartenders were great, owner was great, and the ambiance was amazing. This is a great date night spot for anyone who wants to enjoy a intimate setting with a cocktail or two. I would post pictures but again, No Photography so you would have to go in order to see it to believe it. You will enjoy this experience and not be disappointed.”

“Not child friendly need more option”

“Nice little spot for some pre World Cup food and beers. Staying in the neighborhood and was recommended this place. Great recommendation. Food, beers, and service were exceptional.”

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.”

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.”

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.”

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!”

“This was our first time dining at Little Water. The menu is very limited with only 3 entrees, one of which is very pricey. My husband had the Wednesday special- fried chicken, which was a very generous portion and seemed to be very popular. We started with the sourdough bread, which was top notch. I had the halibut, which was delicious. We would definitely return but not consistently given the limited menu.”

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.”

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.”

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!”

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there. Rachel creates unique, delicious, complex, surprising, beautifully presented vegan gourmet five course meals that are served by Ibo and Sally with kindness, skill, and passion. Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.”

“Awesome experience! Great food! Excellent service!”

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!”

“Always love this place. I try to visit every time I’m in Philly.”

“Randomly popped in on an early Sunday evening. The staff and food were amazing! Nick was fantastic!”

“Awesome experience!!!! The freshest fish I’ve ever had. Shipped from Japan daily. Great place!!!”

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!”

“It was an excellent experience ! The flavors and textures in all courses were phenomenal. They even offered extra portions for an additional cost if still hungry. Byob.”

“The food was delicious and the service was great. Already looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu.”

“Best pretzel I have ever tasted and at a great price!”

“Went in with my entire family for a late lunch. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. Within 10 minutes we all had our bowls of Pho. Fresh, hot and delicious. This place does it right. Best Pho in South Philly.
Go Birds!!”

“shrimp an grits homefried”

“Great vibes, good food, good people.”

“Del Rossi’s is local gem. Don’t stop at the front and grab your food and walk away. Go into the dining room in the back and spend some time. 1st class Food and People working there. A++”

“**CASH ONLY**

I’ve been here many many times. As a viet, this is my favorite Bun bo hue (BBH) in all of Philly. It’s just sooo good. Their BBH broth is flavorful but balanced between sweet, sour, salty, it’s heavy with herbs and spices such as lemon grass (as this broth should be), while the meat is thick and plentiful. My go to tend to be BBH or banh cuon (also the best around). I’ve also tried their dry noodles and beef pho, both were phenomenal and would reorder again. The food is always fresh and hot, I could tell it was made with care.

The place is small and there may be a wait depending on party size and when you go but food gets served quickly. They serve tea at no charge instead of water (it’s rare to get free tea like this anymore). All the ladies there are very friendly. Highly recommend this place for great authentic Vietnamese food.”

“Not only is the food outstanding at Taco Heart, but so is their customer service. I recently ordered some of their tortillas online for pick up. When I arrived at the shop, they didn't have any ready for me to take home. The went above and beyond to make sure I got what I ordered and had them delivered, free of charge, to my home (miles away) later that day. It meant a lot to me, and has earned them a regular customer for life!”

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.”

“It is the best water ice in Philadelphia.”

“amazing food and service every single time!!”

“Johnnys Hots is the best Fish Cakes and everything else is the best. Prices are grest. Love their food.”

“I’m obsessed! Found this bakery on too good to go & took a ride over (from jersey) I came home with 4 different flavors of the banana pudding & my 16 year old and I tried each one. I can’t even pick a favorite because they are all so good. The Magic flavor name makes complete sense when you take a bite because different flavors seem to magically appear in your mouth (peanut butter being the last to hit…) hard to explain but if you taste it, it will make sense! I got 2 large puddings in my order than bought 2 different small ones in different flavors & i regret not getting the 2 extra cups in large! Driving in Philly stresses me out but I’ve never wanted to drive back over there so bad! For more pudding! I will be recommending this bake shop to everyone! The guy behind the counter was super nice & welcoming and helped me pick out some favorites. It’s a nice Friendly shop with amazing puddings & I will definitely be back!”

“Happy to stumble upon this place with my daughter today Pastelitos (empanadas) were really really good, just a bit pricey but what isn’t these days! will be back to try the rest of the food. Service was good and the restaurant itself was very clean and beautifully decorated. Can’t wait to go back to try some other things on the menu!”

“All the rave reviews are true! I visited with a friend from out of town and we had a feast of our favorites. Nearly everything on the menu is vegan, and it was hard to choose! The lunch special is a fantastic value and includes soup and a spring roll. We chose the miso soup, which we agreed is the most flavorful we've ever had. The staff are friendly and really helpful, and the food came out really fast - truly cooked to order. And, as if that weren't enough, the prices are incredibly reasonable. 10/10. I can't wait to go back!”

“Good food, great time playing bingo”

“The best”

“I’ve been getting banh mi from Cafe Cuong for over 15 years, they have the best banh mi in town. However, last time I went in 2025, the young guy at the counter overcharged $5…this is not about the 5 bucks that he try to steal, it’s about even with loyal customers, he’s still trying to to screw over. Really smart running the business..I stop going!”

“Loved this place on a Thursday!!!! Great crowd and Music!!!! My Bartender Janice aka 'FANCY" was the BEST!!!!! Go check her out, you won't be disappointed.....”

“I've been buying from Isgros since 1975. Anyone who writes a bad review of this beloved bakery is likely to think the Grand Canyon is merely a hole in the ground. Don't believe any of their drivel. Maybe.....maybe!....they caught a bad batch of goods....but its highly unlikely. Everything sells out! How can stuff be stale? Impossible!! Everything they produce is simply sensational. I've never heard of any complaints from anybody who I know to be a regular customer. Pricing? Is that even worth mentioning? Does anyone gripe about the price of a Mercedes? The goods cost what they cost because they're high quality and delicious.”

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. The menu had great variety, and the dishes we ordered were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the visit memorable was our server. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without ever feeling intrusive. Their positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and elevated the entire meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend this restaurant—and if you’re lucky enough to get the same server we had, you’re in for a great time.”

“I had an amazing experience at La Catratchita Taqueria! 🌮🔥 Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The quesabirria with consommé was absolutely delicious—rich, juicy, and packed with authentic taste. The asada nachos were loaded and satisfying, and the buffalo wings were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Even the homemade fruit drinks were refreshing and on point! 🍹 On top of that, the service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to—and I highly recommend it to anyone craving great Mexican food! 💯”

“Relative pastry prices have risen in last couple of years, so it would be accurate to label this place as $$. (not $). Everything is very sweet. Of course, this is a bakery, but even so, would be even better with less sugar.”

“Best cs I've had in years. Cs stromboli, fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers cooked perfectly. The pizza was outstanding. My new go to place delivery by the store was less than half boys. Great quality food, great value and very reasonably priced. Ten stars👍”

“We had a great dinner and the bartender Vasanth was great! Food was fresh and very tasty. Nice restaurant to visit if in Penn Landing area in Philadelphia”

“Great place. This is my go to for some good food when I am in the area hands down. Great customer service, they really make you feel welcomed when you come to their establishment. I eat here on a regular basis. Great food. Everything i have had here has been delicious. From the smoothies to the food. I highly recommend stopping by to check them out.”

“This is where my Jerk Salmon Cheesesteak journey began...I have had others but NONE compare💚”

“THE BEST PLAY FOR ME TO HAVE FUN”

“Fantastic coffee shop. Iced coffee is super. The pastry is fantastic. And the workers couldn't treat you any better.”

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.”

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.”

“What a charming little restaurant! I sat at the bar on a work trip for an early dinner, which they actually have a menu for! Prices are reasonable for the city, and 4-6 is happy hour so I came at the right time for great prices and drinks and appetizers. Would definitely recommend! Plus this is walking distance to many nice hotels downtown. Only 5 min walk from the Kimpton Palomar! Would recommend calling ahead to ensure availability.”

“Just wrapped up a "steak-out" at Geno's Steaks in South Philly legendary landmark that draws tourists like moths to a flame. Or me to the Bat signal. And let me tell you, this place is a Gotham-sized slice of Philly flavor! The fluorescent lights and bustling energy felt like a scene straight outta Joker's Gotham night club. I went with the classic "Whiz Without"—that's Philly code for a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and no fried onions, for all you Bat-fans out there. One bite, and I was hooked. The thinly sliced steak, melty cheese, and soft roll created a symphony of flavors that would make even the Penguin surrender his lunch money. But Geno's ain't just about cheesesteaks, folks. Their cheese fries, ordered from the separate window where you get fries and sodas, are a gooey, delicious crime against healthy eating. Coke products available to drink. And Cherry peppers, relish, ketchup, and mustard are free and self-serve. While I devoured my feast, I couldn't help but notice the wall adorned with police patches from across the U.S. – a tribute to the thin blue line that reminded me of my own crusade for justice. Snapped a pic in front of it, a symbol of the shared fight for good that unites us all. Overall, Geno's Steaks lives up to its legendary reputation. It's a taste of Philly history, a tribute to the everyday heroes, and a cheesesteak experience that'll leave you saying, "Yo, that was good shtuff".”

“To me personally best cheese steak I've had so far! Many options to choose from on toppings and cheese, mine was around $17 but you get your money's worth - it's BIG. There are other things besides cheese steak and pretty sure they have drinks and beer. Order in the right window, when your order is ready they display your name on the screen and announce it on Mike/speaker and you pick up in the left window. It's CASH ONLY and there are no seats inside, some tables outside. We parked on the street and walked over, no designated parking lot. Staff was very nice. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!”

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu”

“Incredible food, wonderful staff and service. We loved our date night here! Highly recommend.”

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!”

“I will skip any place. That says that. Fix baby food for people that don't have teeth. I lost my teeth because of medical reasons. But I still enjoy a good sandwich For you to make fun of criticize people that don't have teeth. It is not good. I will not spend a dime ever at your place”

“The bartender's were great. Our waiter Michael understood that we had a show to catch and did everything to get us a fantastic meal on a quick turnaround. Thank you Michael!!!”

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN”

“ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT FOOD AND STRAWBERRY 🍓 TEQUILA”

“Celebrated a friend’s 50th birthday Saturday night and came here for dinner at 7:30pm. The hostess was friendly and our server was attentive. We shared a bunch of apps and they were all delicious!! (Edamame, shrimp pad thai, chicken lettuce wraps, chicken satay, and brussel sprouts) After dinner we went up to the roof top which was the perfect ambiance for a girls night out… drinking espresso martinis and enjoying the weather. We’ll definitely be back!!”

“My evening at Morimoto‘s will be the best memory of my visit to Philadelphia! If I was a local, I’d be in to have their Wasabi Watercress Caesar salad at least once a week. Brilliant! Service was excellent, all the food was lovely, and the restaurant itself, with its soft jewel-tone colors and wave-like forms, was a delight to be in.”

“I was at the restaurant with 5 of my senior citizens friends celebrating a birthday. I would like to thank staff for allowing us to come in and sit down. Everything was excellent! One complaint one of the ladies had a Delicious Drink and it turned her into Chatty Cathy 😀 thank you again for our 5 star service !”

“Cute waiting area. Celebrated my birthday here. They have a great prefix menu for larger groups, email ahead of time. It was nice that we had a little bit of everything, my only complaint was that they forgot the candle in dessert when it was the main reason we were there in the first place.”

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!”

“Amazing food. Specialty loved the steak with chocolate mole sauce. Very nice fish special. Enjoyed the cannoli. Nice friendly service. Jasmin drink was great too.”

“If you’re debating on what omakase in the city to try look no further. This experience was everything and more. The food, the ambiance and the service between our Chef Jeff and server Tina was incredible. The Chef was so personable with our questions, meticulous in his technique, Tina always made sure we had clean plates and filled drinks and was truly a delight. The 18 courses of food was so delicious, afterward it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so tasty and decadent. Will recommend and will definitely be back!:)”

“Amazing experience at Mana Modern Chinese! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was stylish and the service was great. We really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back!”

“My family and I went to Uchi over Labor Day Weekend and even though it was a busy Saturday night, the service was amazing and everything we tried was great!! The dishes were unique and high-quality. Both the happy hour menu and the regular menu were great. Hope to be back soon.”

“Fantastic coffee shop. Iced coffee is super. The pastry is fantastic. And the workers couldn't treat you any better.”

“The food was alright. It was tasty however I couldn’t get what the restaurant was going for. They had a lot of appetizers and the menu was not sectionalized. The sashimi and gyoza were delicious. Salted Cucumber Gimlet is a must try cocktail”

“I've been in Philly 16 years, and eaten at every major fine dining restaurant in the city, many more than once. Amada, Zahav, Budakkan, Vernick Fish, you name it. Every Stephen Starr. Every Michael Solmonov. Every Jose Garces. This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. The carrots, the beets, the mushroom taglioli, the tuna tartar, the beef carpaccio tartlet, the duck, the liver mousse, the steak...I could go on. Every single bite was either perfect or nearly so. Both of my daughters and my wife said the same. We talked about our top dining experiences in Tokyo, Paris, St. Petersburg, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, there have been so many, many good meals in our life. We just found one of the greatest. Thank you Emmett. We look forward to our next visit (once you fix the ramp). -Stephen”

“I swear by this pizza, perfect sauce, crust, and service. South Philly gem. Nice atmosphere located inside of Cartesian Brewing.

Follow their socials to keep up with if and when they run out of ingredients or close early for holidays/events.

Limited hours and pies because they pride themselves in quality control.”

“Everything was soooooo good. We got the sang som roll, chicken sandwich, and hibiscus lemonade. Plus exceptional service. Will definitely come back all the time now!”

“This is one of the best savory pastries I’ve ever had!! The dough was perfectly made and these flavors go so well with eachother. I love koussa and I love this interpretation. Wow!! 10/10”

“Elevated Mexican. We did 5 courses- so much food, it was hard for the 3 of us to finish. The lamb neck birria was great, but the Tlayuda might have been the standout dish. The chips and salsas is a nice touch, you get 6 different salsas to try. This is a great place to bring a group of people.”

“Finally tried this bakery for the first time today, this place is legit! Beautiful artisan baked goods thoughtfully made with love and care and high-quality ingredients. A sparkling gem in this area 1,000,000/10”

“What a lovely and delicious experience. Owners are so kind, the food is well priced for the portions and straight up yummy; wish ida talen pictures. Got the beef chilaquiles with an ube vietnamese iced coffee, and my boyfriend got the beef rice bulgogi with a salted foam iced coffee. Left feeling full and comforted, like any great food and atmosphere would. Excellent spot.”
