    South Philly Cheesesteak
    Audrey A.

    For airport food It was pretty good. Landed in Philly so clearly I had to get a Philly. The service was fine, he was chill. The place honestly had good ambience.

    You can never go wrong with Chickie and Pete's. Always love the vibe at any Chickie and Pete's and it's always bumping anytime whether there's a game to watch or a fight or a random day any time and even at the airport it doesn't skip a beat and is always the spot to be. Service is quick and fast and food always hits the spot and if of great quality and flavorful. Gotta give their famous crab fries a try as they're perfectly fried with a perfect crunch with their amazing seasoned cheese sauce for the perfect combination!

    PLEASE NOTE: This was for the Chickie & Pete's near A21. When in Philly, you've got to have crab fries from Chickie & Pete's! (... right? I'm not from around here, but this is what I've been told.) It was like 10am when we stopped by, and the only other customers were a table of octogenarian women eating nachos and drinking soda. Good on ya, ladies! We were invited to come sit at the bar by some of THE NICEST STAFF WE'VE EVER INTERACTED WITH AT ANY AIRPORT EATERY. They joked with us, they laughed with us, they encouraged us when we were debating about ordering alcohol because "time doesn't matter airside", they checked in on us endlessly (but thoughtfully so; it didn't feel forced, it felt like they were genuinely interested in making sure we were all set!), they never made us feel rushed or like we were wasting time... which, like the octagenerians, we for sure were. A Yuengling, a Diet Pepsi with a single shot of Jack Daniels (... *as if* they don't carry Coke products), and an order of crab fries, after tax and tip, was like $40. For us, that's cheaper than the same thing (but with way less fries) anywhere at home! The amount of fries was sooOoOoOOooooOOo generous. We asked for no cheese sauce (to keep it vegan), and were served up a large basket of hot, fresh, crispy-on-the-outside, pillowy-on-the-inside crinkle cut fries sprinkled liberally with Old Bay seasoning. It was the perfect little snack!

    Quick work trip with the only option to dine at the hotel and airport. Not preferred. Had to try this local icon and their location at the airport. Bartender, Dave, was awesome and his personality is exactly what you expect, Philly. Service was quick with good banter. Lots of TV's with sports on. Asked for a recommendation and Dave suggested the cheesesteak. I'm not an experienced or cheesesteak snob so I thought it was good. Big sandwich, good flavor. Portion of "crab fries" was huge. Carb load for sure. Seasoning was ok but the cheese dipping sauce was a good balance. Would repeat at the airport for the banter and vibe. Food is good but not great.

    This is a follow up review to my post on June 10. It is unfortunate to hear that the restaurant does not have a system in placed to ensure that all managers can view reviews posted for all Chickie's & Pete's and has to rely to customers to send another review to another website so all restaurant managers can view them. System should in placed, especially when the issue is food safety.

    Came here during a layover. Got the classic philly cheesesteak which was decent. Wish the bread was warmer and not as soft. The crab fries were nice and crispy, though i'm not sure why they're advertised as "world-famous"

    I've never had a steak and cheese with lobster before stumbling upon this place during a layover. I've glad I did! It didn't make sense but it was insanely unique. The Maryland fries were the person Cajun spice. I wanted to take everything with me but had no room on the flight. I wish I could find one not in an airport and could have time to enjoy.

    You can't always expect good service from airport restaurants, but our waitress made our experience lovely. She was attentive, very kind, and smiled at us frequently. It's worth saying, because smiles are hard to come by these days. Food was decent, I'm no Philly Cheesecake expert, but we enjoyed them and ate them all up. Fries were also decent, not complaints. Thank Ms. Waitress.

    Really wanted to Philly steak sandwich before leaving PA. Service at this spot was really good. The place was not that packed so it was quick to find a table a place an order. Tried a local Pilsner with my Philly. Food came out quick and very very tasty. I'll definitely be back for more on my next trip.

    breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheesesteak)
    Simran G.

    I'm a Philly girl, so there is no way I come back to visit without getting my cheesesteak fix. You may think that getting one from the airport isn't a great idea, but I disagree, it's helped me with my fix on a number of occasions. The quality of the cheesesteak is excellent and the service/ambiance is fine (but who really cares, because you're there for a cheesesteak anyway)! C&P even has your back during breakfast time... I got this sandwich (see pic) with eggs and steak on top (with the cheese too, of course).

    Stacey T.

    The rudest service I've had in a hot minute. Ended up not ordering food because of it. Ordered a Tito's and cranberry short, was given a tall. Waitress sat it on the table. I said thank you and she just walked off.

    Egg platter (eggs, cheese, bacon) with roll on the side.

    It was not busy. Service very slow throughout entire process. Coffee was pretty lousy - lacked any good flavor and not hot. Breakfast platter ... the eggs were hot but the bacon was cold (not warm, cold). Roll was okay. An experience I don't want to repeat so will not return.

    A Philly staple. If you didn't get a cheesesteak while passing through Philly, grab one here. Definitely get the world famous crab fries too. Seafood is pretty good too although a bit pricey. I liked that in 2024 I didn't have to scan a barcode to see a menu. Got all of the menus right away. I miss that! I don't know how you could give Chickies at the airport a bad rating. It does get packed but there's take out next door.

    I recommend food safety training to be taken by all food servers because they are cutting corners that could be a problem.

Since there were no available tables outside, we were placed inside in a corner table with no air circulation. The humidity felt unbearable and really played a major impact on my experience. I'm sure if I came during a mid spring day I would've had a better experience. Food: the food is the only reason I would come here again. I got a crab cake that was very robust with a fair amount of filler but had a good amount of real crabmeat. My son got the quesadilla, and it wasn't anything special. The salmon was small and flavorful. Service: also was not anything special or bad. Our waitress came by twice during our stay. It was a busy afternoon and she was working. It would've been good if they had more staff so that someone could refill our water more frequently. Like I said, the humidity had taken away from our experience. Overall, I wouldn't come here throughout the hot, humid summer months, but I may give it a second try in the winter or spring... maybe.

When we got there we asked for a menu which never came (we had to borrow one from another party), the server brought about 10 plastic cups for our table of 3 but no water and then when she finally brought our food we had to get our own silverware. At one point she turned the TV on for music and had it blasting at 100 although we asked for it to be lowered so we could actually hear our conversations. We also sat for so long that we contemplating leaving without ordering. We waited atleast 50mins before she even came back to take our order. We ordered Fried Shrimps, Potatoes in butter, Gumbo and Spaghetti with Meatballs and Spaghetti with Shrimp. The Fried Shrimp and Potates were good but the Spaghetti on the other hand was terrible. My Dad said it tasted as though they threw a can of Spaghetti-O's in a bowl and added some Shrimp (I can confirm too that's exactly how it tasted). We should've known better than to order Pasta from a Seafood restaurant. Not a good experience at all!
