It took about 20 minutes just for someone to take our drink order. They put cheese on EVERYTHING. So be mindful when you are ordering. The shrimp tacos I had were pretty decent. When our waitress finally acknowledged us, she was awesome, but it took her too long for her to check on us between times.

Pretty good food. I recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich and the mozzarella sticks. Although for the price I thought I would receive more than 5 mozzarella sticks. It's not quite at all. And there are lots of TVs. There are two main seating areas each with a bar. They also have a takeout section where you can order to go.

Had lunch here while waiting for a flight home. Ordered fries and a cheesesteak sandwich. It was fine for airport food, but it’s unlikely I would return to a location outside of the airport when there are so many better choices for cheesesteaks. Service was fine, it was loud and seating was in very close proximity to strangers which is uncomfortable. We were seated at a bar with unsupervised minors which likely influenced the experience.Kid-friendliness: A little too kid friendly.

The food was good but the waiters were so rude and unwelcoming . They were eating and talking the entire time & had the nerve to catch an attitude because I asked for something to drink. Service is everything I hope they fix that smh.

Danielle and Denise (double D) was the best duo we have ever experienced at bar in a very long time. Not only did they go over and beyond with customer service and hospitality...but their teamwork and experience was by far top notch from anything I have ever experienced in a long long time. I highly recommend to ask for them when you stop by here. Also the crab fries are to die for ?????

Was relaxed dispite the rush and helped me relax after a long day having to deal with a moved flight. Was waiting in the main terminal for 8 hours and getting food here was amazing. Server was on top of checking in and the bartender was great as well.

The food was terrible. Got the crab cakes and they were all dough. Can barely find any crab meat. Threw them in the garbage. Crab fries not sure why they call them crab. Cheese sauce smelled awful. Wasted over $50 on garbage!

We needed an airport drink to kick off our trip to LA, as my girlfriend was coming to meet my fam. Heavy shots. Chickie's and Pete's became the OBVIOUS choice, the only choice really, when they had on the 1997 NBA Slam Dunk Contest that featured Kobe Bean Bryant. There were only like 2 servers working here, so I was a little stressed about time but literally right when we sat down we were handed a menu and within 3 minutes they were back ready to take our order. I got caught watching Kobe work so when she came back and my pookie said "vodka soda please," I was scrambling to look at the menu because I'm really shy and get scared to ask for one more minute.... especially when pookie threw me under the bus like that... I normally order wine, but after getting looked at like I just slapped a prime Ghandi in the face for ordering wine in divey places like this, I started folding like a lawn chair and ordering beer. Also that wine do be giving me a headache ahahaha. I scrambled to look for an IPA as I know these are respected in the beer community, and they're honestly not half bad. I saw the Founder's All Day IPA was from Grand Rapids, MI and I LOVE South Western Michigan so I had to rep. Our drinks were on the table within 2 minutes. Just absolute quality service, shoutout to our server, Lauren. We see you sis!! Keep workin they need to cut you a check the way you be grinding in here!! This has 2.8 stars on yelp but how could I not give it 5? Like that John Wooden quote my middle school basketball coach printed out and gave me back in 2008: "Be true to yourself, be true to those you lead." THANK YOU CHICKIE! THANK YOU PETE!

While waiting for our flight home, we hung out at Chickie's and Pete in the airport. I had the shrimp tacos and sweet potato fries. The shrimp taco had jalapeños on them and were great, not too spicy. The sweet potato fries were delicious with the syrup dipping sauce. I preferred it to the cheese sauce for those fries. My mom had the clay chowder, which she said was good. The menu is a al carte, so items are priced separately. It was a nice way to spend waiting for the flight. I definitely recommend them if you're at PHL and have a long enough wait.
