Came to Chickie & Pete's for drinks and dinner and unfortunately were pretty disappointed. We were seated at the bar and sat there for over 5 minutes while the bartender walked back and forth at least four times. Not once did he acknowledge us or say "I'll be right with you." A simple greeting goes a long way. We understand places get busy, but being completely ignored isn't a great first impression. After waiting with no acknowledgment, we decided to leave. read more

This restaurant is beyond delicious. Great service and the food is just an ultimate-comfort food type of feeling. High quality in every bite. I'm a sucker for a good Philly cheesesteak and this place does it right. A little loud as there was loud music but we didn't mind at all! Will definitely return! read more

I wanted to go out for the game and have some food so chickies and Pete's it was. I do miss their riverboat clams but I noticed they had a new item on the menu: baked oysters so I decided to give them a go. Now personally I think I like them better without cheese however they were pretty good. I also had the fish tacos which I have had a few times, they're pretty plain but good. We also shared some fried shrimp and my other half had a burger which he said was ok. I've never had a burger though. read more

Stopped in last night (Tuesday) for dinner with one of my friends. I got the caesar salad with chicken, which was gigantic and really good! I couldn't believe I ate almost the entire salad! Of course we ordered crab fries and hot shrimp! My friend enjoyed a sandwich. Everything was great, which is always the case! read more

Chickie's & Pete's - Hot shrimp and sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chickie's is Chickie's if you ask me. They've done a great job scaling their business and still having the same level of service and consistent food (the airport and casinos excluded). This is the OG so it definitely deserves our respect. Crab Fries are always great to snack on. Their wings are phenomenal as well (get the dry rub). The hot shrimp are a great, they're not exactly like BBQ shrimp in New Orleans but similar; make sure to ask for some bread to soak up the sauce. But the best in my opinion is the pepperoni pizza, I don't know what it is about their pizza but I crave them. I'm not saying they're the best in the world but nothing better than kicking back some cold beers and eating some of their crispy pizza. They're sandwiches and burgers are something I'd advise you to steer clear of, they're not the worst I've had but they're nothing to write home about. In most locations the bread seems stale and they really aren't that good overall. But the aforementioned items more than makes up for this sin. And one of the best things about Chickie's & Pete's is the bartenders. They get what service is, they understand how to converse but not be overbearing. Jeff is phenomenal and there's nothing better than stopping by and having a few lagers and talking everything Philly with him. read more

Chickie's & Pete's - Lager...how can you not crave one that looks like this! - Sports Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dropped my wife off for a class and had some time to kill. Trying to figure out where to go and found out there was a Chickie's and Pete's near by, so I decided to stop by. Decided to sit at the bar and the staff was friendly and let me know it would take some time but they would take my order. I ordered my drink and had an order of crab fries but also found out about a special they had that was a $5 personal pitcher of domestic beer. This was great because I had two hours to kill. They also had live music with a musician that was playing multiple instruments from sax, clarinet, and guitar to name a few. The drinks and the live music helped for a relaxing time. This location is intimate and not as busy which gives it a vintage and homely atmosphere. I definitely would go back when near by.

We had an amazing experience here. I have Celiac Disease, so I am always nervous about eating out. The GM, William Conney came out to reassure me that I would be fine with my choices. Our server, Hannah was also wonderful. I ordered the signature French fries that were so tasty. They have a separate fryer, so they were Celiac safe! I had the peel your shrimp, steam clams, and king snow crab legs. We had great service and my husband, son and grandson all loved their cheese steaks! It was a great experience! read more

Chickie's & Pete's - The 2 selfies are the bar area & downstairs table, the others are the 2nd floor tables at Robbins St. - Sports Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

PLEASE READ... Philly....Philly...Philly.... Smh this was my second try at eating out at a nearby restaurant, this was one of the biggest mistakes ever!!!! So where to even start smh SERVICE: We entered the restaurant & it was barely anyone there around 3pm...the service I could tell from jump was off I had to ask the host questions because it seemed as if the bartender tried to stay away. She then walked over and gave her suggestions which was go for the wings...hmm wonder why wings...we're gonna get back to service make sure you keep reading. FOOD: -The ultimate crab fries w/ a side of hair... or more maybe we consumed them ewww We got to the middle of the fries and pulled out a hair and was so freaking grossed out. My bf was like nahhh you gotta Yelp this...this is disgusting !!! -The mussels with garlic and poop AKA turtle tank was by far even worse! When they brought out the mussels the presentation looked good at first and I was truly in the mood for mussels I should have known in my gut to not go for it. We took out one & I swallowed it & could tell something was off I had this horrible taste in my mouth so I had to take a swig of my flying Hawaiian drink. This didn't help tho...my bf then looks at me in disgust and tells me to smell the mussels we could not believe it smelled like a dirty aquarium....we tried to make the situation better going back & fourth and I came up with turtle aquarium and hit it right on the head. He had the nasty smell on his fingers and couldn't even fathom how gross the smell was and we consumed it ewwww Let's get back to the service...after letting the bartender know about the hair in the friendliest way she took the plate away and seemed like she didn't want to come back over to help until we got the nasty mussels...she must have known how upset we were about the mussels because she never came back over...the manager Bill came. ****5 stars to Bill for easing the situation and being empathetic to our horrible experience. He was very apologetic and comped the food as well as two drinks on the house. I thanked him for the empathy & good service & the restaurant industry convo we had but still couldn't let go how unacceptable the food was. Another comment on service...the nosey host had the nerve to talk about us to a regular literally right behind us at the bar...me w/ my manager ears heard the entire convo and he didn't stop until I spoke and said how unprofessional it is to speak about customers. I also mentioned you never know who is who and who knows who. He switched it up after and tried to be buddy buddy w/ bae and even mentioned to him this wasn't the first time they found a hair in the food today ewww wth like that makes us feel better. Bae tried to make him smell his fingers for the turtle tank smell and he laughed & declined the offer lol We left with a very bad taste in our mouths & it's about 2 am now and my stomach still hurts even feel like vomiting now thinking about it because I can't wrap my head around the fact that I consumed mussel poop and the taste won't get out of my mouth even after brushing my teeth. My stomach is on tilt smh. I'm just really disgusted in the food and so disappointed we spent any money at this establishment. Going off of other reviews on the page I really & truly hope this isn't a race thing but I wouldn't be surprised smh NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!! read more

The location of this Chickie's and Pete's is not ideal. There is only off street parking so beware of the tempting urge to park across the street where the Auto-part store and banks are located as I saw cars being towed while I was eating and even when I was leaving out of the restaurant. This Chickie's and Pete's is smaller compared to others. The tables and walkway are very tight so if you have a large party (similar to I had of 9) it could get pretty interesting. The wait staff was very fri belt and the wait staff was pretty attentive. Our waiter was able to explain the specials of the restaurant and good picks for the evening. I ordered the crab cake sandwich which came on a brioche bun. The bun was soft and tasty and fit perfectly with the crab cake. As for the crab cake, it was seasoned, not too breaded. I really enjoyed it. I also ordered the crab fries which is this restaurants staple. I was pretty underwhelmed. The fries definitely needed more seasoning in which the waiter had no problems bringing more. Lastly, I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese which was just really disappointing. The size of the dish was extremely small and to top it off it was verrrry dry. When one orders Mac and cheese you generally expect to get a "cheesy" dish however that was not the case here. The dish was very dry and bland after taking a fork and a half full I just had to send it back as I just couldn't stomach paying $17.00+ that just lacked in flavor and was uninspiring. I enjoyed my time and so did the rest of my party. I would come here again but I wouldn't be in a rush. Kudos to whoever thought of the idea of putting a sink in the middle of the restraint...others should follow suit! read more

So many wonderful things to say about this place. First off, I'm from NC and figured I'd try a (PA) chain while I'm here in PA. Jeff was the bartender and he was AMAZING. My friend let him know that I was from out of town and he went above and beyond explaining the best items on the menu. He also offered up the best places to see/experience in Philly. The hot shrimp- wonderful! Ordered with bread for the sauce just right! I'll be back every time I come to visit. Also had some crab fries & the roast pork, so good. read more

Love this restaurant / bar specializing in seafood: crabs, mussels and clams. The food was delicious and the portions are quite large. They have some old beers displayed on the wall going way back to the 50s. Thanks to my friend Helen for taking me here and her friend Maria for driving us. The blue crabs, the garlic clams and Philly cheesesteak were so good. Everything was so good ! If you're in this part of the east coast, go check them out ! read more

I always love to go the food is good and the drinks are delicious so when you get a chance go.

I haven't been to Chickies and Pete's in quite some time. I'd say roughly 2-3 years. The idea always sounds good but the food is below average at best. We arrived Friday around lunchtime and it was dead. We were sat and waited roughly 10 minutes for a server. We ordered crab fries, magooby and cheesesteak. The crab fries didn't taste fresh at all. They are alway much better and more fresh at a sporting event, never in the actual restaurant. The cheese sauce was also discolored. It had a brownish tint to it, very weird. The magooby was good. It's always my wife's go too. It's shrimp, cheese, pickles and crab fries on a roll. The one thing Chickies does well is seafood. The cheesesteak was terrible. It was extremely dry! I asked for extra cheese and it was still dry. My wife and i split the magooby and the cheesesteak went in the garbage. When we go to Chickies I do prefer the original but I'm not sure I'll be back. The food is way overpriced and not very good. It's sad because the food was once pretty darn good. 2 stars at best read more

Food is good, small menu. Place gets packed at night especially when Philly sport teams are playing somewhere

I just had the worst seafood specialty ever now I know why there isn't many people who go there. I spent close to 40$ and literally threw my seafood specialty in the trash. It was cold and just didn't taste good. Do better!! read more

They nailed it at the original chickies ! The sauté seafood. White is just perfect !!! Plenty of shrimp clams mussels And lobster to share. Tom and the bar staff at the old Chickie's are still serving up piping hot plates and ice cold beers for Octoberfest !

Back in June when I was traveling to Orlando for my bday the wait staff at terminal D were the absolute worse I have ever had. And the bad food trailed right behind too ! read more

This atmosphere and service is really what knocks this place out of the park. This is my 92 year old grandfather's go to choice for his birthday dinner. The staff goes above and beyond, everyone makes such a fuss over him. Even other customers stop by the table to wish him a happy birthday, that's how warm, welcoming and intimate the atmosphere here is. They even give him a complementary slice of cake without us asking or inquiring. This, original Chickie's and Pete's location is SUCH a contrast to the one on the boulevard...it's like day and night. Crab fries, crabs and wings is where they excel! Will always go back! Thanks again for making our last recent visit such a pleasant one! read more

I love this place it has the best food and everything is aways so good the wing are so amazing they make me want to dance

Dry roast beef. Comes out small as hell with a little bit of dry provolone, not hot? For $11 in a city with sandwich trucks and stands, this is pretty shoddy for original location! good, service, but this was a waste of money. Next time I'll buy a 40 and get a sandwich at Home Depot at one of the trucks. This should be a $6 dive-bar sandwich although Nick's Roast Beef would still be better. read more

This is the absolute best chickie and Pete's by far and they are the original! I've been to the south Philly location and Roosevelt Blvd location as well but this one right here has the best service and amazing food. We live near the south Philly location but often drive up this way (due to service). The servers and bartenders are very accommodating and even knows where we want to sit. Since we order so much food for a group of 3 adult and 1 child....the server would often give us the biggest table. A must try is the baby lobster tail...they are cooked to perfection and oh so scrumptious! We would order 3 orders of those since no one wants to share! Definitely order the clams in white sauce and the hot shrimp in spicy garlic sauce. Why am I craving these as I'm writing this review?!!! All of the yummy garlic sauces are perfect for bread dipping. The clams casino and crab legs are amazing too. Everything that I've mention....i would love as my last meal on Earth! That is no lie! read more

Dom is a fabulous server! Took care of us and recommended delicious meals. Will be back!!

Family was down visiting for Christmas, so we took them out to Chickies & Petes! This was actually the first time My husband and I had been to this specific Chickies and Petes. The building itself looks smaller than other chickies and petes I have been too, and it was late on the 23rd, so I was worried that we'd have a bit of a wait time for seats. There is no parking lot, so we parked on the street. Surprisingly, finding parking was not a problem, although it was packed inside the restaurant. We accidentally entered through the bar entrance, apparently the restaurant part is upstairs and the entrance to the restaurant side is on the other side of the building. Thankfully, after a few awkward moments of us standing there with someone underaged, the bar tender motioned us over and told us that the restaurant and table side was on the other side of the bar. We walked through the bar and were immediately met by a stewardess. She led us upstairs and got us seated instantly! Our waiter was great, he was pretty hilarious and cracking jokes all night. He was also very helpful with questions that our party had about the menu. One thing I noticed while we were there is that they automatically add 18% gratuity to party's of 6 or more. I was surprised only because at most restaurants it's party's of 8 or more. The food was amazing! Everybody loves the crabby fries and sweet potato crabby fries- my family wanted to take Chickies & Petes back home to Vermont with them! Overall this was a great visit, amazing food with exceptional service! #AllOfTheReviewStars read more

Food, service and atmosphere was great. Best burger I've had in a long time. I will be back when visiting Philly

Took my wife to this location today. It was absolutely the worst experience of our lives there. First there were seats available with umbrellas for a shade, that sat us in the only seat without an umbrella. Then when ask if they could move the umbrella the guy reply to us that he wasn't going to be moving nothing back and forth all day. He also told us we couldn't slide our table back to the shade. It seemed as if he was the supervisor and was upset that he had to help out because they were short on staff. He was also nasty towards us for asking for condiments. He ask us was that it and would that be and are we sure because he was not going to be running back and forth. We also tried to get the young ladies attention who originally started to serve us and was totally ignored. We some how wounded up with three servers and none of them wanted to accommodate us. This was earlier today at 4:21pm. The worst part of this whole experience was after we ordered our food, the waiter came back 5 or so minutes later to tell me that they had discontinued my Double Double Burger. Don't know why or how but it to me another 3 to 5 minutes to order a plain cheese burger. They brought my wife's food out 10 minutes earlier then mine and just placed it the table and walked away. No way! My wife said. But calmed her and said; Baby, it's ok. I knew I was going to tell this story on Yelp. I will never waist my hard earned money on service like this. I really would like to think that this was not racist thing but, to us in the middle of the outside dining room at the only table with no umbrella in the beaming hot son.....not to mention that our beverages wasn't cold. It just was a terrible experience and I will never dine there again. Sincerely Tyrone Parker tyroneparker4@gmail.com read more

Had lunch/ dinner at this restaurant for the first time. The food was great. I recommend the wings with the dry rub. They were delicious and the mushroom burger is another recommendation. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. The waiter was polite, and very welcoming. The atmosphere was very pleasant with music playing. All the other customers appeared to be enjoying themselves just as much as me and my sister! It was a great experience!!!! I highly recommend you to go and eat here read more

I was told by the Uber driver to try out the Crab fries at Chickies and Petes, and I was not disappointed. The fries got a spicy cajun kick too it and once you dip it into the white creamy cheese sauce, the fries are gone in no time. They have more options on the menu, but unfortunately due to tine constraints, I only had time to try out the fries. Try out this place when you visit Philadelphia. read more

Chickie's & Pete's - Crabfries - Sports Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was told this was a "must try" so I stopped in recently for an early dinner. The crinkle cut fries are very good...very crispy and cut on the thinner side. It could have used a little more crab seasoning as you could barely taste it. My mussels were only ok. They were very small and the "white wine sauce" basically looked and tasted like bottled Italian dressing. The white lobster pizza had no seasoning at all. It was a white pizza with small chunks of freshwater lobster tail that looked more like pieces of chopped shrimp. Again, no seasoning or flavor at all. Crust is thin and crispy but I was expecting the lobster to be a little better since this place is known for seafood. The seafood chowder was pretty good. Had a pretty spicy kick to it. I know people rave about this place but maybe I didn't order the right things. read more
