Lew's Seafood in North Hills
Jeff H.

Lew's is a traditional and very good seafood spot in North Hills outside Northwest Philly. For almost 60 years it has been serving up dishes & meals from the deep to take away from their store or eat in their adjoining Dockside Pub. Right now during the pandemic, most people are choosing takeout. And there is a lot to choose from - including weekly & daily specials. For my first meal of the new year, I felt like eating some seafood and called Lew's to order their Bang Bang Shrimp with Bay fries and potato salad. All were ready when I got there. I really like their Bang Bang Shrimp but I do add hot sauce to it to give it even more of a 'bang, bang,' Lew's is very solid overall and it's hard to go wrong here with whatever you order in my opinion.

Yum! Made to order fried calamari. I was going to share this but as I started eating...I knew it wasn't going to happen. I love it! Can't wait to try more menu items!

The good thing about this place is that they make the majority of their menu items from scratch, and that includes the fried mozzarella sticks. Everything I had was fresh. My only complaint about the food is some of the fried items just need a little salt and/or pepper in the breading. Service is quaint and snappy. It's just what you want and expect, friendly enough to make you feel good but not intrusive. The bar area reminds me of a dive, but it's a Dockside Pub...the ambience is totally perfect for a crab shack and there's no reason to get all fancy just to eat some seafood. The crab legs were cooked perfectly and tasted delish! Shrimp basket is a little pricey but it's seafood and it's fresh, so I guess I shouldn't whine about it, I mean really, if I can't afford to go out to eat then don't go out to eat, AMIRIGHT? Definitely give this place a try if you are in the area and looking for something that isn't pizza, cheeseteaks or Chinese. Or hell, if you are craving seafood in general, I wouldn't pick anywhere else in an 8 mile radius!

My favorite seafood restaurant. They consistently make delicious baked stuffed shrimp with crab meat. I highly recommend it!

I recently retired and stumbled across Mister Ricks while I was in Jenkintown. I decided to try it;…read moresome may say there are hoagie places all over Philadelphia and the suburbs. However, there was something a little different about this mom & pop shop. The turkey hoagie with cooper sharp, the freshness of the onion, lettuce and tomatoes. The olive oil is amazing. Each sandwich is made with details and preciseness. Now, I'm a regular but they open at 11 and close at 3 pm daily so your window is short but worth it.

Many locals might know that Mister Ricks makes hoagies like a boss. The hoagies are BIG with fresh…read moreingredients and pack a punch! However, many of you might not know that Mister Ricks also makes great cheesesteaks. They have one of the best cheesesteaks I've eaten in Philly. The sliced ribeye is tender, juicy, and flavorful and stuffed into a giant seeded roll. A bargain for $14.99. Get it with fried onions and your choice of American, Provolone, or Cooper Sharp Cheese (hint: get Cooper Sharp!). It was so good I didn't even need to add any flavorings like ketchup or mayo to it (some cheesesteaks in South Philly are so dry they need ketchup and mayo to make them palatable). Mister Ricks cheesesteak is also physically larger than a lot of cheesesteaks I've eaten, so not only do you get a great cheesesteak, but it's also a great BIG cheesesteak that can be shared, especially if you get a couple of bags of chips. Oh, yes, they also have a vast array of chips and Coca Cola soda products to choose from. My son pointed out that this cheesesteak rivals and even beats any of the fancy, famous cheesesteak shops I've taken him to all around Philly. Totally true. I can name some of them, but then those shops might not like me anymore! Service is always quick and efficient. They serve a lot of folks on days with sporting events so if you're in a hurry, call ahead to place your order. There's no dining tables inside, but there's plenty of seats at the park right across the street.

Everyone in Philly swears by their cheesesteaks and with so many spots claiming to serve the best,…read moreexpectations were high walking into High Steaks on Butler Ave in Fort Washington. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the reputation. We ordered Philly cheesesteaks, and while I was ready to taste something iconic, what I got was a black pepper overload. The seasoning completely overpowered the meat, which was disappointing. Even worse, the bread-to-meat ratio was way off. My roll was soggy, and no amount of mayonnaise or ketchup could save it. We also ordered onion rings and chicken tenders for our toddler. The onion rings were fried to the point of being rock hard. Not crispy, just tough. The chicken tenders were dry and flavorless. Our toddler ate some and said they were "good," but even she didn't want the leftovers the next day and neither did we. Hubby said to be fair, the staff was sweet and very accommodating, which we appreciated. However great service can't cover up subpar food. Sadly, High Steaks missed the mark for us, and in a city known for doing cheesesteaks right, that's a big letdown.

This place is amazing. Went here on a whim after king of Prussia mall and WOW just amazing. We will…read moredefinitely be back. The service was excellent as well as the atmosphere. The waitress said on Wednesday night is open mic night. If you are in the area and want a great cheesesteak with your family this is it!
