    Shopsin club
    Rachel K.

    Anyone who's been to Middle Child (fishtown or center city) knows how good the sandwiches are. Airport middle child doesn't hold a flame to the other locations. Maybe it's obvious that airport quality is inherently worse. Anyway we ordered the breakfast sandwich and shopsin club. The egg in the breakfast sandwich was a fried egg patty which was weird, but not terrible. The bread wasn't good tho. Shopsin club was the tastier of the two sandwiches. But same story- the ingredients weren't great and the sandwich was much smaller than the other middle child locations. I mean still not a bad option for airport food but I couldn't help comparing this experience to what I know Middle Child could be. This was more like Only Child....

    A pleasant surprise to have at the airport! Great quality and great service! Will try to make my way through terminal D again.

    I got hella excited to see this franchise at the airport. The experience wasn't that great. The kitchen and serving staff seem to be getting orders mixed up. Also the kitchen seemed to not know how to make the orders. Definitely did not taste like the actual spot in fishtown. $18 for a small sandwich that had fast food taste vibes.

    Tremendous consistency throughout all locations for the Middle Child family, well done. Airport location was quick service, got my sandwich in under 10 minutes. Tasted and felt exactly the same as any other location would make it. Friendly staff and fair prices for the airport. So Long Sal remains the best sandwich in Philly without a doubt!

    Arguably one of the best meals I've had at an airport eatery (low bar, I know). I'm in Philly at least a few times a year and always at D gate (thanks Alaska). Did not even know that this place had been put in (opened in September). Menu looked great and Bryan (great name!) working the counter was perhaps the friendliest person I've encountered at an airport. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and went all in with bacon & avocado added + a side of tots. Sandwich was fantastic and it's SO much food. Even with a big appetite, I couldn't finish the whole thing. It's definitely a shareable. Orange juice was good too. Will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm flying out of Philly.

    Great service. Located at end of terminal D. Can dine in or carry out. They have some of staples that they have a storefront in center city.

    Breakfast sandwich with a side of sour pickles.

    I was SO excited to find a Philly favorite in the D gates (right by D12) in PHL. Is it as good as the main location, no. Is it some of the best eats you'll find in PHL, absolutely. Also as this cafe area is closed off for customers only, it is very peaceful, has lots of plugs to charge up, and is just enjoyable to sit at while waiting for your flight. I just want to call out how courteous the staff is here. Everyone was so nice and just going above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed their food. If you're in PHL, I would highly recommend stopping by!

    At long last and with much anticipation from frequent PHL Delta flyers, Middle Child has finally opened in the D gate area! The menu offers a selection of brunch sandwiches, salads, and beverages, including liquor/beer. Coming in at $12 minimum per breakfast sandwich, this spot has a lot to prove in comparison to the prices of the Dunkin next door. Having not been to the original location, we ordered the Breakfast Sandwich and honestly were hoping for a little more interest than what we received. The sandwich was grilled on white bread that felt buttery to the touch. Melted white American cheese and arugula sat atop a thick patty of fluffy egg- perhaps steamed before being grilled? Not a bad taste, but a bit bland. We would have preferred a little less butter but were pleased it wasn't as salty as most airport fare. Can you convince yourself that this is a healthier option based on the arugula? Probably not, but I did like seeing some green in there! Seating area is roomy and offers great gate views and an arrivals/departures board for convenience. Food is delivered to your seat after order. Not bad but not overly impressive. Hopefully this spot will flourish to continue to add some variety to the terminal!

    Surfer: House turkey, melty swiss, blueberry chutney, duke's mayo, arugula, ciabatta.

    "Best breakfast sandwich" was just that! I have never left a review before. This place was worth the hype.

    Early morning in the Philadelphia airport and I needed a quick breakfast as I hustled to my flight…read more The name of the restaurant drew my attention first. However, it was too early and they weren't selling the Philly cheesesteaks yet. Too bad! I'll have to try that next time in that airport. I was about to leave when I saw Taylor ham on the menu! This is something that is not served everywhere and kind of unique to the eastern USA, in my opinion. I mostly familiar with Taylor Ham, from my time in New York City. Anyway, I thought I would try it. I was thrilled to see my server, cooking up my fried eggs, freshly on the grill. He was quick and efficient. He seasoned them up perfectly. The cheese was melted all over the eggs, nice and gooey. That was placed on top of us thick Taylor ham slice. I did not expect that! I thought it would be a thin slice of Taylor ham. I think it's the saltines of the ham, but I really like. And the bun absolutely wonderfully soft. This was the perfect find at the Philadelphia airport! I hope I can get back there to try the Philly cheesesteak next time. The restaurant was clean. The service was fast. There's nowhere to sit, but you can find somewhere else within the airport to sit and enjoy your meal. I give this a solid five stars for airport food.

    Had an early flight out of PHL airport and decided to try Passyunk Steaks and I definitely made the…read moreright choice. A variety of sandwiches and other options I decided to go with the classic make your own breakfast sandwich where you choose your meat choice. I went with bacon and it came on a potato roll with egg and cheese. Though I love breakfast food I'm typically not hungry in the morning but today I was and I'm super happy I did. The sandwich was good I savored it. Had to stop and leave a review before I even finished it haha. If you're looking for a classic deli style breakfast sandwich that's not overly expensive this is definitely the place to go. The servers were friendly and quick. This may be my new airport go to in the morning

    When they first opened up. They put a lot of meat on their cheesesteaks. No a little bit of meat…read more Prices are high for the meat they put on. Or lack of. The store looks nice so I think they think they can price High for ambience. But people want a great tasting Cheesesteak that's packed with meat. Like the one in their photos on the menu or website. Again, don't be fooled. It's called .... "FALSE ADVERTISING" Here's what they do. You order a cheesesteak,.. Plain. You get some meat. You order a cheesesteak with fried onions, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, mushrooms. You should get the same amount of meat. Not less cause you ordered toppings. When you order toppings with your cheesesteak, and you can still close your roll and see no meat and toppings that's a cheap crappy cheesesteak . especially for what they charge. It's. Bull Sxxx..!!!! And the problem is nobody calls him out on it . should they get over on you? Don't pay until you look at your cheesesteak first . If it's not what you expect, don't pay for it don't need it .

    It's Monday morning, we got here, 27 minutes before opening. It was worth wait. It's cold outside,…read moreI'm visiting from Florida so too cold for me. It's nice inside clean, staff friendly. Gave suggestions. I got prime cheesesteak with bacon( nice surprise with every other bite). Also got the bread with sesame seeds( since it's lightly toasted , just adds to the flavor. Definitely a must do when you land here at airport PHL and want a great tasting cheese steak sandwich.

    America's Pie is not just a pizza place, despite its name including "pie" and having some artwork…read morethat would imply that it is. Let me repeat...America's Pie is NOT just a pizza place, and while their pizza is absolutely wonderful, it is in the raw selection and quality of that broad selection that makes this place freaking outstanding. I have had the opportunity to order food from here several times over the last several years and they have one of the most unique "pizza shop" restaurant menus out there and even have a massive selection of tacos that you can pick from. I have had several opportunities to write my review of this spot, but it wasn't until I discovered something very special here that finally drove me to write my full opinion. My most recent visit to America's Pie was one born of laziness. Everyone at home wanted something different and we didn't want to cook, so we were simply looking at places that would be easy that we don't order from that often and landed here. The menu is so large that I was being indecisive and that was when I saw it...all the way at the bottom of the sandwiches section, what I have now identified as one of the top three sandwiches I have ever had in my life, and I've had a lot of sandwiches: the Tony Bourdain. A strange combination of ingredients, all delicious and savory in their own right, brought together to create a bread-borne experience unlike few, if any, that I have ever had before. This seriously is one of, if not, THE BEST sandwiches that I have ever had. It is not what it looks like, or the way it is constructed that makes it so good. What makes it so amazing is the absolutely mastery and command of the knowledge of the ingredients, the quality of those ingredients, and their interaction together on the flavors they will produce when combined within the very high quality seeded roll that it all comes neatly packed within. It is not a pretty, easy to eat and clean sandwich. It gets everywhere, and it is worth it. You SHOULD get this sandwich, for the culinary perfection, but also to honor the late Anthony Bourdain. This is definitely a meal that properly honors the man and his legacy. America's Pie isn't perfect but it is one of the best pizza/sandwich/pasta places in my area of Delco. Hands down. The specialty sandwiches really take it to the next level and that Tony Bourdain shoots them into the stratosphere. You will never have a bad meal here. They are local people making great food, with a local but very friendly attitude, and want you to enjoy everything you order. Explore the menu and check them out. I made a pledge to work my way through the sandwich menu just because that sandwich was so damn good and I am excited about every single one that I check off that list. Can't wait to bump into you there!

    I am a regular customer here. I go about once a week. I do takeout, but they do have picnic tables…read moreoutside if anyone wants to eat on site. They have good pricing for good food. I always customize my order with substitutions and they are always willing to accommodate, and the two times I've had an issue, they have remade my order within a short period of time. I recommend their pizza slices, sandwiches, and wraps. The staff are always wonderful. The owners do a lot for the local community, they do days where they donate proceeds and provide free pizza for the local businesses. My company has also done hoagie catering with America's Pie and it's a great deal for great food.
