Wanted something fairly light for lunch and this popped up on my search. Easy ordering process, food was ready slightly earlier than promised. I had the turkey sandwich and it was generously portioned and able to pick and choose what went into the sandwich, it was exactly what I wanted and it was delicious! read more

Satisfying, solid, hearty, filling, and always a breakfast I look forward to eating. I choose Christie's for days I'm feeling a little blue and need a little pick me up OR for a a hefty breakkie sando to fuel me through a long workday with few breaks. The owners/staff are sweet and remember not just my order, but my roommate's, their partners, and our neighbors. The shop is humble and welcoming inside. I've run inside in my sweatpants and also in my business attire but never felt out of place with the breakfast-seeking, sleepy eyed patrons that fill the small dining area and register's line. Little shops like Christie's Deli deserve all the love. They're a great part of the neighborhood and strengthens our sense of community. Try the Christie's breakfast sandwich! It's my favorite! read more

We love love love Christie's Deli! The owners/workers are really kind, attentive, and quick. We like to call to preorder our sandwiches on the weekend, since there can be long lines, and our food is always ready when we get there. even when we don't call though, we've never waited more than 10 minutes for our food. The best sandwich on the menu is the Mike's breakfast. It's a bacon, egg, cheese, and a hash brown toasted in a croissant with chipotle mayo spread. Sooooooo tasty! We love getting a side of the chipotle mayo too, it's just that good! They have so many other menu options for breakfast and lunch tho, something for everyone really. There's a few tables inside and out, but we normally like to take a sandwiches to one of the few parks near by to enjoy :) read more

Great place for a quick, filling breakfast or lunch pick-up! It's a small shop, but don't be deceived. They have tons of sandwich, wrap and panini options - both signature creations and sandwich classics - in addition to a bunch of snacks and drinks. During this trip, I tried the highly recommended Mike's breakfast, a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant with a hashbrown and chipotle aioli. The cheese was melty, the hashbrown was crispy, and the bacon tasted fresh which are all important qualities to look out for in a good breakfast sandwich! The other breakfast sandwich options looked super tasty too, so I look forward to going back to try different sandwiches. The staff is always so kind and provide excellent service. This neighborhood spot is most definitely a gem! read more

I got 2 breakfast sandwiches for me and my boyfriend. I had Mike's breakfast, and he had Cliff's breakfast. We both thought that these sandwiches were great for a light meal to start off our day. Service was very friendly and quick. I think I was in and out of here within 10 minutes. I also think it's cool how they switch it up every week with limited time menu items. Their regular menu is extensive so there must be something for everyone. read more

They were extremely helpful with my sister's allergies to make sure what she ordered would be safe. They also offered substitutions for all of their sandwiches.

These are the best sandwiches in Fairmount! I have walked by this place for months, and my boss randomly recommended it to someone who was craving a sandwich. I must admit, it took me a few months to finally step inside, but when I did it perfect timing. My friend was celebrating her birthday, and I chose to visit after she finished her teaching sessions for the morning. We walked into the little deli, and tons of beautiful colors and flavors filled the walls of the space. I have never treated a friend to a birthday sandwich, but as she scanned the walls in delight, I felt a surge of affirmation - it was worth the risk. She ended up choosing two delicious sandwiches for her long day ahead and I landed on my favorite flavor of 2023: The (self-proclaimed) Gabby Sandwich. It's the Grilled Salmon speciality sandwich with out everything else! Beyond the sandwiches, the sides leave you with limitless flavor journeys. There are a lot of fresh fruits, walls teeming with chips (including plantain chips ) and multiple drinks to choose from. As a Montclair native, I of course had the "Joe's Tea" - which now is bottled and produced in Elizabeth, NJ - but I was appreciative of the range of options for enhancing my meal! There is no spoiler alert because the food was FANTASTIC. The best way to conclude is the most genuine review - a woman walked in while I was waiting to pick up her sandwich and as I exited I saw her demolishing her sandwich in the front seat of tje car! It was so good, she couldn't make it another mile without a bite, and if I didn't have to get back to work, I would have been sitting right next to her in the passenger seat. Next time you go, you may see me there! If not, tell them I sent you to Christie's Deli! read more

Filled with satisfying ingredients including crunch (hash brown patty) spicy sauce (garlic Siracha) and yummy fried egg, cheddar, onion and pork roll on a toasted croissant. PERFECTION. I thought I was in Heaven. Very friendly staff. Don't miss this local gem. Low key ambiance-quick serve style. read more

This place is the definition of an incredible hole in the wall deli. It's a family run shop and clearly has lots of regulars. These are easily some of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Not exactly something I could eat every day since they're super heavy but very much a "treat yoself" meal after a late night out or... after a big workout! We got the Christie's and Cliff's breakfast specials and were blown away by the generous portions, great quality of ingredients, and the most stunning cheese pull we've seen in a sandwich (I mean, just look at the pics!). We personally preferred the Cliff's, but the Christie was also delicious and must try given the namesake. Can't wait to go back and try the other specials! read more

I got Mike's Breakfast sandwich and Christie's Breakfast sandwich over three days. The roll was soft and chewy. The hash browns were crisp. The eggs fresh. And the meat juicy and tender. I think Mike's ever so slightly edges out Christie's Breakfast just because I think bacon wins out over pork roll. read more

I had a true "Holy s*it" moment here. As in, "Holy s*it! I didn't expect it to be this good!" So I drive around the city just to see what I can find. I see this come up on Yelp as I was in the area. I wanted to see if this truly lived up to the hype. Gang, the hype is real! This Christie's Breakfast sandwich had the perfect balance of texture, flavor, and just general heartiness to it! Who knew pork roll and hash browns belonged together on a croissant anyway? People from Jersey would call that a crime. They'd be wrong. Judging by the steady stream coming in late on a Friday morning and how busy the staff was, I'm thinking this place ain't a secret to many who go about their day in this neighborhood. It shouldn't be. read more

I got the Christie sandwich delivered by Grubhub this morning with a cold brew. I got extra meat and it was super thin and crispy porkroll. I personally love that. If you're one of those people who likes those abominations of thick cut pork roll, then you won't like this. You might think it's too crispy and call it "burnt" but for me the crunch of the pork roll is the top texture of this sandwich. Combined with all the cheese and the crunch of the hashbrown? It's a perfect sammie, though priced way more appropriately if you don't get it delivered and just head into the establishment. read more

The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.

Sabrina's Cafe - Art Museum

We started yesterday off with a delightful brunch at Sabrina's Cafe. We were thrilled to arrive and…read morebe seated quickly, even as a party of four. Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

Since it was the weekend, we had to wait in the lobby downstairs for about 15-20 minutes. Luckily, we made it up just in time to catch the sunset and take some amazing photos. We were also fortunate enough to find seats at the bar, but if you want guaranteed seating, it's definitely better to make a reservation in the main seating area. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Valet / Nearby Parking Atmosphere - The view is absolutely the star of the show. Watching the sunset over the city from this height creates an unforgettable experience, especially for a special occasion. The space itself feels upscale and lively without being overwhelming. Service - The service was excellent. Our bartender, Michael, made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. He was attentive, friendly, and added to the overall experience. My girlfriend especially appreciated the complimentary olives, which was a nice touch. What We Ordered - Old Fashioned (Very well balanced and smooth) Cucumber Martini (Refreshing and perfectly crafted) Final Thoughts - This was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. Between the stunning views, great drinks, and attentive service, it made for a memorable evening. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great lounge experience in Philadelphia.

Selections: Oysters- very good, fresh and solid accompaniments. Steak tartare - good, fresh but lacked seasoning. Omelette - subpar - expected more of a french style and it also lacked seasoning. They forgot to add the creme fraiche. The caviar was good. French Toast w/fois gras - average - fois gras very under-seasoned and lacked a good sear. French toast was good.

Mushroom shrimp risotto, grilled octopus, and black truffle and fontina pizza - amazing!

He is kind and easygoing, but he also has a discerning eye for hospitality, which made me especially glad to bring him somewhere that makes Philadelphia shine and makes me proud to live here. I ordered the moules frites, and it was excellent. The mussels were fresh, tender, and beautifully served in a delicious white wine, garlic, and shallot broth. Paired with Parc's wonderful bread and a side of French fries, it was simple, satisfying, and exactly the kind of meal Parc does so well. If you're going to Parc on a budget or want something a little lighter than a burger or steak frites, this is a terrific option. It still feels generous and special without being too heavy, and the service and ambiance were outstanding, as always.

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
