    Classic cheesesteak. Apparently it doesn't come with onions and peppers in Philly?! Bland.
    Kelli M.

    Ugh, first experience with a cheesesteak in Philly and it was a waste of calories I give 5 stars out like candy on Halloween on Yelp, but I can't with this. I ordered the standard cheesesteak. I guess they don't add onions and peppers on the classic, cheese sauce was bland and bread was nothing special. If you don't have time to find a better cheesesteak in the airport, I would say skip it. Plus it was $18, which I wouldn't have minded had it been remotely good? Actually like Tubby Sub better in Detroit.

    A nice place for a pre flight meal. Quick, friendly service. Genuinely Philadelphian. Good beer selection. Tasty food..Generous portions.

    Stopped here to get a bite to eat and chill before heading to our gate. Seating: self seating Atmosphere: loud and full of teavelers. Service: Lori was ok. We asked for things and did not get them. Food: 1. Crab fries. They are always good. 2. Burger. I asked not to see pink and it came out pink so I sent it back. I was disappointed; I made it sloppy and was ready to Bute in. No go and my appetite was riuned. Lori offered me something else but I declined. 3. Other order was the salmon burger and we told Lori no sauces on the roll. The salmon burger took long and came out over cooked and dry. We just stayed for the power to change our phones. The prices are too unnecessarily high and food not good We will pack food next time.

    Good food! Open late and a good place to watch sports. My chicken sandwich and fries were really good. My friend got the lobster cheesesteak and thought it was so good they got one to take home!

    My go to breakfast spot when headed out of the nether gates in C. Close to gate 30. Since it wasn't O-zero early, decided to get a burger and a beer. I have to offer profs on this one. The ultimate tailgate burger was outstanding- cooked to perfection (medium) with huge lump crap cake on top. Man o man - this burger rocked. Don't get me wrong - your gonna pay thru the nose for it ($25) - but totally down with this one. A nice attentive waitress didn't hurt. Figured I'd add a star on this one.

    I don't like they call them "crab fries" and there's no actual crab, but the fries are deliciously seasoned and crispy with amazing cheese sauce. I only ate fries so I can't have much more of an opinion. It was not crowded at this location, but it still took a long time for someone to even acknowledge that I was waiting to be seated. Luckily I had a lot of time, but this is definitely not a place to go to if your flight is leaving soon. Order ahead on your phone. The famous fries come out so quickly if that's all you want.

    First time having a Philly cheesesteak in Philly. Of course it's the airport so it probably does t count. Server was awesome. The classic cheesesteak was great and the fries were perfect crispy on the outside and soft in the center with the occasional crunchy one The cheesesteak was very tasty. Hopefully I'll get to Philly soon to eat on in town. If they are better than this than im gonna be doing good. Loved it for an airport joint they were better than good.

    I had a layover, and decided to search for a bowl of clam chowder. Found this place online, and was not disappointed after walking quite sometime to get to the restaurant. The chowder hit the spot; flavorful and thick, but not overly so. Highly recommended.

    Not a bad place to grab a bite before flight. Airline lounge is closed along with many other venues. They are open and accept dine in customers. Social distance is in place. Seats along the wall has plenty of electronic outlets, I was able to charge my phone while there. Service was on a tad slower side but we had plenty of time before our flight anyway. (TSA security only took 3 minutes). They have good selection of draft beer including seasonal pumpkin pale ale. It was light and perfect for mid day beer. They serve Philly cheese here and we had it one last time before departing Philadelphia. Chicken cutlet reminded me of how schnitzel is made, just with chicken instead. Breading is different from chicken tenders. I liked it and it went well with honey mustard sauce. Airport price on most food but we are at the airport. Not overly pricey just slightly higher than outside airport.

    Crab Fries

    This place was full when I arrived. A lot of people. You can seat yourself and I found a place on the counter that had charging ports. Something I was desperately in need of. They quickly came and told me they would be right with me. I asked them if I could order to-go and and she made we aware of a take out order counter. Service was great and even got a water. I did all these for an order of crab fries. I knew I couldn't leave Philly without going to Chickie's and Petes. And how convenient to have a location at the airport. Definitely a must try when in Philadelphia.

    The airport version. The food was decent, the service not so much. In all fairness they were slammed but half our items came out wrong. Still the fries are decent though I would recommend the sweet potato version over the crabby ones. Their cutlets are right to my liking pounded thin and coated.

    A is for "airport" ... and "a-okay" ... so, I guess you could declare 3-star Chickie's and Pete's an "A" ... cause it is an "a-ok airport" bar. The biggest things going for this terminal tavern actually are C's: * Convenience: since you've already traversed TSA at PHL * Conshohocken Type A (IPA - 7% abv) on draft * Comfort food ... though not really good food. Chickie's and Pete's earns a "C" (... 3 stars ...) because of the A's (a-ok at an airport) instead of factors like effort, quality, service, or atmosphere.

    Decided to stop in while on a layover didn't think we'd get a authentic Philly cheese steak but decided to try it out, we also didn't expect for the meat to taste like it was boiled in a dogfood bowl, unfortunate but hey most of every place in phl has awful reviews, nothing like taking a chance I guess, but no more chances for this place haha

    Yes, I am giving an airport lounge 5 Yelp stars. Much deserved!…read more This lounge makes the AMEX Centurion Lounge look like a joke. First of all, it's huge. Large bar, several comfortable seating areas, a game room, a spa, and all bathrooms are either private rooms, or the stall doors and walls go right down to the floor. It would be George Costanza approved! You can visit the buffet or order from your seat using a QR code. Everything was incredibly delicious! The drink menu is inspiring, and everything is crafted with care. And the staff were fantastic. Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. We would have stayed here all day!

    A gorgeous Chase lounge!…read more This was my first time flying in/out of Philly so I was super stoked to be able to visit the Chase lounge on my flight home. When you first enter, you're greeted by a rather large front desk with many smiling faces. They are all more than happy to greet you and explain all of the amenities that they have available. Right behind check-in, they have their main dining area and bar. I love the decor and the amount of seating that is available. If you go to the right after check in, you'll find the buffet area. They have a drink station (coffee, tea, canned drinks, water) and they have their grab and go buffet station. I appreciate that everything was pre-portioned onto plates so that I did not have to worry about people sharing serving utensils. If you go to the left after check in, you'll find multiple seating areas with different themes. One is geared towards children/families, one is more of a meeting/quiet room, and then there's another casual seating area with booths. This lounge also has a wellness station that has complimentary facials! Sadly, I did not get to book a time to get a facial but maybe next time!

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

I've tried airport Genos with little culinary impact (although I'd argue the brick and mortar doesn't churn out the best sandwiches either). I saw I'd be walking by Passyunk's on my way to the next gate, so I gave it a try. Order at one of two kiosks and anything you select will be given by the vendor (i.e., do not grab your beverage from the adjacent, self-service store front; they're different companies). The service was quick and easy, which is great for anyone rushing to their next flight. The resulting sandwich, however, was underwhelming. I absolutely agree and confirm what Yelper Alicia B. notes; Passyunk skimps on cheese whether you pay for extra or not. After ten years of regular travel, I know it's not impossible to find flavorful meals in an airport...but they're still rare. Often times it feels as if eateries don't try because they don't have to--you're in an enclosed environment with minimal choices and you often need sustenance. Sadly, I'd lump Passyunk's in that category. If you are interested in filling your belly, it'll do. If you're looking for a great cheesesteak, move on.
