    Sundae and cherry water ice cream
    Luna B.

    The line is always long and it's a good sign!! They have the water ice , pretzels and soft serve you remember from the summer nights ,after dinner , "line up at the corner the water ice truck is coming " days. So grateful I live close by.

    tasted wonderful, doesnt taste artificial at all! since it's homemade, it's very enjoyable and affordable. service was quick

    The Man With A Van Summer of '19 Philly Water Ice TOur Continues.  Chucks is one of the very best !

    Really good. Really, really good. One of the best, possibly edging out Pop's for second place but too close to call at this point. Keep in mind I only speak of lemon water ice; I do not countenance the other flavors or products. Thicker than average, lemon had some nice tartness but a tad too sweet for my taste but,yea, this be some real nice wooter ice. And Mr. Chuck, FYI, if you edit your business name on yelp from "Waterice" to "Water Ice" you'll get more eyeballs on your page.

    Me and my boyfriend come here like every day we both are obsessed. We both won't go anywhere else for waterice

    Size medium seen here is the smallest cup that allows two flavors. No bench for sitting and enjoying their treat.

    On the hunt this summer to find the best water ice in Philly! Did I find it here? Not so sure, but I'll tell you a little about it... I've driven past this little spot which is kind of out of the way, very far down the west end of Snyder Ave. I wondered why I had never heard of it, or actually been here before. Maybe the location? It's seems just like a lot of the other classic South Philly mom & pop wooder ice shops.... Window and cash only, and standing boldly in Italian flag colors. Somewhat simple offerings: -They have almost a dozen flavors, some with real fresh fruit pieces. Love this! - soft serve -of course that last one means they offer gelati -Soft pretzels which for most go hand in hand with water ice for some reason, but here they offer them topped a few different ways like pizza, cheese and pepperoni. -Nachos We wanted to order a kiddie size but they wouldn't do two flavors so went with a medium which at our last location, the same size cup was a small. Same cup and for $1 more here. Lemon was a popular choice with our crew and it was good choice! It was perfectly tart and a tad sweet and had lots of chunks of lemon in it!! Absolutely delish! The mango and cherry were also incredibly flavored, no fruit though! My strawberry lemonade was good too. Perhaps a tad to sweet for me, but good. All and all, we would head back to Chucks when we're in the area and think you should try it if you are too! *Knocking off a star for lack of a place to sit, the fact that I didn't get that warm South Philly welcome and feeling I'm used to getting at places such as these, and and for the fact I think they're just a hair pricier than the places we've encountered so far.

    Know it's trite but literally the best cheesesteak I've ever had! For a surprising reason however:…read morethe bread! Food: 5. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no reservations Return worthiness: yes! Eve awards best cheesesteak of my life--still thinking about it Highlights: - The bread: a soft long roll with sesame seeds was a delight I didn't see coming. - Meat: was lightly seasoned but kept its pure flavor. Most cheesesteaks have such bland meat so this did it right - Cheese: melty coopers cheese was perfectly mixed in. - Onions: just the right soloing if grilled onions mixed in to complement the meat but not overwhelm it. - Size: monstrous! You can easily share (but you may not want to). - Fairly efficient: even with long lines, put your phone number in the kiosk, can pay with credit card, and wait til you are texted to pick it up. - For the whole family: my cranky teen son said it's the best thing he ate on our 23 day summer East Coast trip (including lots of great dining spots around Philly and NYC). Lowlights: - Waits can be long and brutal in heat. We got lucky with a shorter line. - No seating: just an ordering counter inside so many are eating out on the sidewalk.

    Will keep this as short as possible…read more -The line will look worse than it actually is. It moves quickly. 70-90 people may only take you 15ish min to place your order. -Just get the cheesesteak, skip their other sandwiches. -The cheesesteak is amazing, it just, is. Some of their other food is not worth it. -Once you order, maybe another 10ish min for the food to come out. Absolutely worth it, been here twice now, and will come back over and over.

Our server apologized for a delay in taking our drink orders. She was attentive the rest of our meal. I ordered a Charles deGaulle whiskey cocktail. Lemon, aperol and simple syrup added a refreshing twist. For entrees, my wife ordered the pacherri; a simple pork ragu with tender broccoli rabe, Parmesan, stracciatello and basil. The dish was delicious. I enjoyed my plate of sea-inspired tonnarelli nero. Bay scallops in crab ragu with fennel sofrito. Served with squid ink pasta that imparted a slight brininess. The pasta was cooked pangrattato style-- coated in panko bread crumbs and garlic. The dish had many flavors but they all came back to the theme. Cocktail prices and entree prices were very reasonable. They offer happy hour drinks and specials. Certainly a very good choice if you're in the area.

The short rib over polenta was probably my favorite thing on the table - it fell apart easily and the polenta underneath wasn't as heavy as I expected it to be. We got the salted caramel budino for dessert too, and I was glad it wasn't one of those desserts that's so sweet you can only handle two bites. Would go back honestly. Probably order something different next time just to try more of the menu, but I'm getting that ricotta again no matter what.

I personally would order this as my meal if I could. room temp, oily, good crunch to soft ratio. Judion Beans: good beans. they are on a similar wavelength as butter beans. honestly I get them for the table for the extra bowl of oil at the bottom to dip the crusts in. Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

    Kind of overwhelmed by this location. I've been to anther location which had the assembly line…read morepizza snack system down pat. This location had 3 employees behind the counter running all over the place, multiple ones asking what we wanted and not sure who was supposed to be working on what. For it not being busy, it seemed chaotic and more time consuming than it should be. Multiple people were checking on their orders, so there wasn't a good number system/time estimate in place. We got the gnarlic knots which were decently tasting, but since it was to go, we didn't check it before it left. They didn't put on the parm-romano cheese and they didn't include the garlic dipping sauce. It just seemed like the running around not knowing who was going what led to oversight. There are tables to dine in, but it's not too much to expect not to inspect food to go to make sure it's as ordered. It seems like this location was just disorganized and the quality of the food suffered.

The space is large and bright and the service is fast and friendly.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed. They also have Happy Hour specials. I certainly enjoyed the experience and would go back again iid in the area.

No one was wearing gloves and just digging their hands in raw meats, veggies and cheese. There was cheese I almost all the other biggie bins.
