It used to be owned by a young couple that we would love coming to get cheesesteaks and talk wrestling with. But It looks like it’s now Pete’s and the new owner has no sense of cleanliness , flies and mouse droppings in the sink and even old food under the tables. My son didn’t listen to me and tried to give it a shot and ignore all of the bad things I pointed out to him…. and in return, he is repaid with food poising.
Only eat here if you wanna get sick this place is nasty!

I'd like to be really kind but we were hungry, stopped at the Q mart for some grub, walked into Pete's, ordered, and, well, not so much,. Too much salt on the cheese steak and the cheese burger was like chewing on a hockey puck,, bread was great, but that's where it stopped

Our server was Holly, and she was a pleasure to be welcomed by. She made our time here just enjoyable. She is very professional, accommodating, and hospitable. The cheesesteak sandwich was delicious, and we enjoyed the YARDS PALE ALE

This is a typically nice airport bar. I had a sandwich with fries and the fries came as a huge basket, probably enough for three people. The Cosmopolitan drink was good and one of my favorite sports was on TV, Rugby. 5 stars.

The best part of flying out of Philadelphia International Airport is lunch at Chickie's and Pete's. We have been coming here for many years and always order Mussels Red. There are at least 2 dozen large mussels served in a rich marinara sauce. A generous roll is included. Ask that the roll be warmed. It's much better. Service was very good. There is table service and also a Take Out window. We believe this is the best place to eat in the airport.

Had a Philly cheesesteak, fries, and a Caesar salad here tonight. It wasn’t “the best ever”, but it was very tasty and filling, much better than typical airport fare. Will gladly go back.

Had breakfast here on a Sat morning. Service was prompt and friendly, the place is kind of cramped but the food makes up for that. I had the sausage. Egg and cheese sandwich, it was delicious, huge and very messy, but I ate every bite. Prices were reasonable for an airport restaurant.

I spent a couple of hours here when our flight was canceled and I had time to kill and was hungry. The lady behind the bar was rushed off her feet and seemed to be the only person serving both the bar and food. I ordered a glass of wine and chicken wings, both of which were fabulous, but the chicken wings were very spicy, and it took me a good 10 minutes to get her attention to get a glass of water! The place was packed, it is extremely noisy, but at the bar they do have a place for you to charge your cell phone and as long as you’ve got headphones to put in, you can watch a show and chill.

Wow - usually eat at the location on Terminal C, but on a recent trip to the Philadelphia airport, I found myself on Terminal A. Checked the airport map and located Chickie's and Pete's by Gate A21. After walking all the way down there, my server dropped off a menu without saying a word and then never returned. Never offered drinks or took my order. Walked out after 10 minutes. Terrible experience. Need some servers who actually want to work at that location. Each time I've stopped at Terminal C for crab cakes in the past has been awesome. Terminal A was a true disappointment.My trip date was 7/13/2023 between 1:00-2:00 p.m.

We had an hour to kill at PHL and decided to try Chickie's and Pete's in Terminal D. I had their Buffalo Wings and they were terrific... done to perfection and a great sauce that has a kick without wiping out the lining of your stomach! My wife had a cheesesteak and liked it a lot. The only minor issue was that they appeared to be understaffed. That can be an issue at an airport where timing matters. But we pushed a little bit and made our flight on time.
I ordered the crab fries, and they were very good. The cheese sauce with them is excellent. Huge basket of fries. I also got the clay chowder, which was good. My daughters got a burger and basket of fries, and they enjoyed them. The only issue was my wife's order. She got the fried crab Mac and cheese, and the middle wasn't all the way cooked. Was cold. They apologized and took it off the bill. They were going to replace them, but we decided not to since already had a ton of fries and clam chowder left. Definitely can share the fries.

If I could give a zero I would. My husband and I on our way home from Philadelphia to London met with the worst attitude from a bar tender I’ve ever come across and that was before she’d mixed the worst drink I’ve ever tasted. It should have been a Long Island iced tea. She basically dumped a load of alcohol in a glass in two seconds flat, when I asked if she’d added the sours she looked at me blankly, so I explained I’d been drinking them all weekend and that this was definitely not a Long Island ice tea not to mention disgusting to taste she then promptly dumped it in the bin and asked if there was anything else she could get me, no smile, no sorry just a bored expression laden with attitude, I wouldn’t mind but the bar wasn’t even busy!!!! Needless to say we declined and left the bar.

While waiting for a flight we ate here. Great service. The Philly Cheesesteak and the Hoagie were winderful. The staff was friendly and attentive. Fantastic food.

Didn’t want a heavy meal during our long layover and the chicken tortilla soup was just right. We would have hung out for awhile as it wasn’t crowded but the music was really loud. No desserts which was disappointing.

Food is great but staff is better. Gabby was the best server/bartender. She holds conversations with her customers and makes them feel welcomed. Being that I am a former Philadelphian now living in Idaho, she is a smart ass but it is all out of love for her job. Thanks Gabby for the memories!! Chickie and Petes in terminal A of PHL is the spot. Check em out. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!!!
This place is gross now.
