We stopped in here on our way back to our hotel from visiting the Liberty Bell. The menu was BIG and it took some time to decide what we wanted! I got a BLT, B got the American sandwich (turkey, ham, bacon and cheese). B wanted potato salad, but they were out, so we both added bags of chips (BBQ for me, sour cream and onion for B). Bonus points for bottled AND fountain soda, I love me a good fountain soda! My BLT was great, crispy bacon and not too much mayo. B said his sandwich was good, too, but I think I won the order battle! Both were served with veggie chips (B ate mine, said they were good) and a pickle. The prices were super reasonable in my opinion (my BLT was only $5), but locals who've reviewed here seem to think it's pricey? Maybe Boston is just so expensive it's warped my sense of affordable! Super clean and really friendly staff, too. read more

Munchie's is FANTASTIC. First of all, they are HUGE, with a large selection of both breakfast and lunch. They have a fridge case in the back that spans the length of the store, and has a wide variety of drinks. If you're a sandwich and snack person, don't worry. They have an assortment of snacks from cookies, to chips, to ice cream to Pocky. The meats are fresh - taken from their deli case and sliced right before you. And they are proud carriers of Dietz & Watson. I went in during lunchtime, expecting a long wait. There were a few people there, but they have a system (similiar to Wawa) where you order, then pay while they are making your food. It works fantastically. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. I ordered a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, & Tomato) sandwich. It was $6. I must admit I had never considered blending those flavors, but how can you go wrong with bacon AND avacado? The answer - you can't. The sandwich turned out to be a 10" sub with perfectly cooked bacon and fresh veggies. The bread was fresh, although I don't know if they bake on site, or have fresh bread delivered. As with all well cooked bacon, the sandwich took a little longer to cooke than it did for me to pay. Which was fine, because they have a flat screen tv over their coffee bar, which I was able to watch until my sandwich was ready. In addition - for those of you looking to bring in sandwiches for a party or function - they do make both small and large party trays. The small trays are for 6+ people and cost $7 per person. That's almost cheaper than (and a whole lot more healthy than) pizza! I'll be treating myself here for a long time to come! read more

Surprisingly good! My chicken salad was ... good! My wife's cheese steak was .... good! A good value downtown within walking distance of our hotel. We like. I liked it better than (no, don't say it!) Jones right nearby. It is definitely NOT fancy, but when you just want a fast sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda, this'll do it for you. read more

Good food. Have been here for both breakfast and lunch. Definite must to understand the lunch crowd here is vicious. If you walk in you may spend your lunch waiting. Be smart and call ahead! Typical food but cooked very well. Plus side everything is always flavorful. All of the good stuff is high in calories. Probably not the place for someone dieting. Some seating available inside but again, competitive at peak times. Not a place I'd travel downtown for but is a nice option if you work in the area and want tasty and reasonably priced options. read more

Their Paninis are balling. Asian sesame salad is even more balling. Sometimes I'll say no onions and I get onions so always make sure to say you're DEATHLY ALLERGIC to onions and then they're 100% on their onion game. And they have Nutter Butters at the counter so you really can't go wrong. read more

At first, I thought, well, why do people bother with Old Nelson? It seemed cheaper, to have a less eclectic variety, but more convenient... totally tolerable... Not so much, it turned out. The wait time is absurd, especially when I placed by wrap order after a caesar salad and 15 minutes went by between my (albeit large, but predominately lunch meat-dominated) wrap's arrival and the salad. Oh! and between them came a reportedly pretty bland burger. Personally, I wouldn't bother the wager that ordering a burger at such a place would cost. But I hoped this was a chill alternative to Old Nelson, which is packed and pricey. A little too chill perhaps? Even at that, the one staff member who interacted most with customers seemed not to have much concern for the quality of his service or attitude. Some sort of bread chips accompanied my wrap. They were bad. Overall, just lackluster. I would maybe try their breakfast options (apparently served all day), because it's hard to make an Awful egg sandwich. read more

Stumbled across this place while looking for a place to eat lunch while on jury duty. Fast to the table service (glad a booth was open) it was cheap and tasted good. Nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about! Ordered panini #9 - motz, roasted red pepper & pesto. Side of sweet potato fries only cause they said nothing came with the sandwich- but stuff did. And the stuff that did? - weird burnt fried triangle thingies that were gross (and a pickle. No hate against the pickle). read more

Came in for a quick breakfast sandwich, they have a $5 card minimum but let me slide with a $3 tab, always appreciate that. The service was kind of slow, and not the friendliest but the food was pretty good for what it was. read more

I've heard the sandwiches here are amazing. However, I only come here and eat either the chicken teriyaki or the fantail shrimp platter. Regardless, I enjoy a low key sandwich place that I can sit down and have a meal. Nelson's which is a block away is always crazy and crowded. read more

The perfect spot to grab a bite. Friendly service, great food, good prices, and a large selection (plus breakfast foods!). Everything I've gotten from them has been tasty: cranberry turkey melt, chicken fingers, salads, sweet potato fries... It's my go-to spot for take out, but the place is bright and well-kept enough that I wouldn't mind eating in sometime. read more

I ordered a mushroom cheese burger, lettuce tomao, extra mushrooms, and no bun. Comes with fries. I got five fries, a burger with few mushrooms (there goes my $0.50 add on) and no lettuce or tomato (no bun, but that's correct). And I waited 30 min to get my food while people who ordered after me by 15-20 min were getting theirs. This is the fifth chance I gave them. They continually disappoint. read more

Munchie's Cafe - This is my order. There's more than five fries, but there isn't a lot hiding under the burger. Plus they were stiff and stale. - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

As I sit at my desk and write this review about munchies it upsets me no one really takes pride in food handling any more all these certifications hanging on the wall doesn't mean a thing if you don't handle food properly I paced a Oder yesterday of course when I walk in everybody behind the counter is eating while food prepping that's a violation and theirs is around lunch time at their busiest time and than another female employee comes from the back take some food off the counter and takes it to the back comes back wipes her hands on her apron and put on clean gloves violation #2 than you have an employee outside smoking with his apron on than comes back in behind the counter never washes his hands and for those who don't know you apron should never leave the work station violation #3 but who am I right!!!!!!!!! So day 2 before I palace my order I ask can you please wash your hands and put on fresh gloves thank you so of course the guy was upset but I should have to ask you should be doing that frequently when handling food get my sandwich gets back to my desk it's hair on my sandwich!!!!!! So you guys be careful and pay close attention when ordering from this place these are major violations that you guys block out how do I know because I've been food handling for over 12yers butcher dept and deli!!! Sorry about the missed commas and periods you guys understand read more

My coworker is obsessed with Munchies. He invited me along a couple times and who am I to say no to the Mayor (or whatever you're called when you've checked in the most) of Munchie's Cafe? He loves their wing dings, but he has never offered me a ding to wing or to try, so I can't attest to how amaaazing they are, but I can tell you their fries are the best in a 2 block radius. Their sandwiches are well prepared (good thing too since the place has a deli counter), but their grilled items are pretty boring and lack anything special. Overall, it's a nice lunch spot. I wonder if I keep accompanying the Mayor, he will appoint me to his cabinet. read more

Munchies is dirty....a friend if mine went in to pick up breakfast, and the cook is killing a fly with the spatula he cooks the food with!!!!! Then kills a roach!!!! Neddless to say ill never eat there again. Not to mention the bathroom is supposed to be for customers only, but u lock the door so the customer cant use it, rhen no one has a key. Health dept should shut u nast mfs down!!!! I had to hit a star in order to post...but u mfs get nothing read more

They're food is good but the people are rude. The lady was on the phone while taking my order and forgot to ass cheese on my fries even though I said I wanted cheese, I tried to get cheese and they said that the extra cheese is $1 extra. Horrible customer service. read more

Went to Munchies with co-worker as we were waiting for our breakfas a mouse ran right across the floor and then there was a mouse sitting in the middle of the dining area. I will never go here again. read more

This place is good for a quick, inexpensive breakfast in Philly. They have healthier options as well, which I appreciated. They even let me switch out the cheese and get turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. The guy at the register even brought my food to me. I like it! read more

Ordered a breakfast sandwich. The egg was good, the bacon was okay and the sausage is patties not links. If you like patties I think you would like it. I don't like patties I prefer links. My roll however was STALE. As soon as i bit into the sandwich the roll split. I HATE stale rolls. Not worth the money I paid to get a stale roll. I most likely won't ever return here for breakfast or lunch. read more

I usually walk home during my lunch breaks to grab a bite and catch up on reality TV. Today it is raining and gross outside, and I couldn't rationalize walking home in the rain, with no real prospects for a great lunch at home in the refrigerator. So, I hopped on yelp to see what was around the office and worth trying. Munchie's cafe popped up with solid reviews... I browsed their website to learn that I could order online, even better! I ordered the BALT (Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce & Tomato) on wheat, and by the time I walked the block from my office it was packaged and ready to go! The sandwich was delicious and for $5.50 - I will certainly be back the next time the rain, snow or sleet prevents me from eating lunch at home on the sofa! read more

Munchie's Cafe has quite a long menu. A variety of breakfast and lunch options, La Colombe coffee, and their deli carries Boar's Head meats. So far I can only attest for their breakfast sandwiches, which I like because they actually cook the eggs on the grill and not in a microwave. They also make omelettes, pancakes and french toast. They have a few booths for seating and local alternative papers on hand for reading. read more

Good place to grab traditional sandwiches or anything fried. However, you can't eat in or risk smelling like you were the one doing the frying! read more

Menu is huge and a little overwhelming with its diversity. Service was a little slow but the food was good. I had a breakfast sandwich for lunch which was tasty and warm - what more could you ask for? read more

Great food, most reasonable places for the area. We got the veggie pizza. Pizza fries and an Italian panini. Great service. Will be back.

Great hole in the wall place. Shared the Breakfast Platter and the Cheese Steak Hoagie. Ended up putting an egg on the hoagie and it was FANTASTIC. Perfect amount of meat, cheese, mushrooms, and peppers. Delicious! read more

Stopped in for a cheap, quick and tasty lunch and was not disappointed. The menu selection is fantastic because you can get beastly anything you're craving. It is also a green considering there is not much else for food in the immediate vicinity. read more

Great Roast Beef and Cheese. Good Chicken Cheese Steak too.

I was excited to find this place b/c my office moved to 8th & Walnut, and there aren't a lot ofgood-quality, cheaper dining options in the general vicinity (at least close enought to walk to & back within a half-hour lunch period). So far I've ordered the BLAT (which I thought was really good, lots of bacon & avocado), the cheeseburger (just ok), and two paninis (barbecue chicken/bacon/provolone/sundried tomato, and the grilled chicken/parmesan/sundried tomato) - both were tasty and very large; I took home half both times so got dinner out if it too. Next time I' plan to order the Cobb salad; I saw someone order that today and it was a beautiful-looking salad. I also want to try breakast here since they offer some interesting, fairly cheap breakfast options (ex: Crunch French - French toast dipped in Cap'n Crunch)The prices are very reasonable, too, by Center City standards. The only downside for me is how long you have to wait to get your food. It was very crowded when I came in the first couple of times, so I chalked the wait up to that, but the secnod couple of times it wasn't really that busy and I waited just as long. Still, I'll definitely keep coming here b/c of the food quality and prices. read more

Great little cafe on Chestnut with a wide variety of American sandwiches and smoothies. Quick service and reasonable prices. We ordered the cranberry turkey melt and a BLAT (bacon lettuce avocado tomato) and left happy! read more

The food is really good and there's a great selection, but the service is not so great. It could take 20 minutes or more to get a simple sandwich at lunch. Not necessarily because the line is that long, but more because there's no system in place behind the counter and the staff bumbles about trying to figure out what is going on. Don't bother going between 12 and 1 if you have to return to work in a reasonable time. read more

I've never had anything here I didn't enjoy but they often put cheese on things when I ask for none and the wait is almost always really long if you don't order ahead. read more

Great grab and go place for breakfast and lunch. I usually like grabbing the specials because it's always a variety that I wouldn't normally get but always turns out being yummy. The smoothies are also very well blended and fresh. read more

I stopped in on my lunch break and ordered the portobello mushroom panini and was pleased with how good it was. I didn't know what to expect by the lack of people dining. I was worried, but found a little diamond in the rough. Great prices too! I'll be going back next time I'm in the area! read more

Great breakfast, fast service. Fairly clean. Seats 20-25 people I had meat omelet and potatoes awesome. Great prices

the man at the front counter is insanely rude. the way he answers the phone really took me surprise, didn't even say hello just immediately "what you want" ... his accent also makes ordering even harder. I order from here a lot because it's close to my job and the food is always good but the service is HORRIBLE!!!! treat your costumers with some respect. read more

my co workers and I order here almost every week. it feels like they either get my order wrong or they're confused with pick up or delivery.. Worst customer service I experience since they change owner. last week I ordered burger platter with a side of honey mustard. they forgot my honey mustard and charge for it. also asked me to walk over there to pick it up.. umm...no i asked for delivery for a reason. today my co worker called and placed an order and they forgot about us we waited for an hr . they need to get it together ! I'm giving them two stars only because I like their food and delivery guy is nice. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant gets no stars from me as the most essential issue here is food cleanliness and cleanliness habits of its workers. I ordered a breakfast food that comes with toast - As I was waiting for the food order to be ready I observed one of the people behind the counter who prepares food lift up the rubber floor mat with her bare hands ( the one that everyone stands on while cooking) and move it over to another spot on the floor. I continued to watch her carefully as she walked doen the aisle, picked up 2 pieces of bread with bare hands and then proceeded to place them in the toaster. She failed to wash her hands and wear gloves before touching the bread. I recognized that this was my toast and I brought the whole issue and breach to the manager's attention - no apologies at all but someone else handled the toast properly - so if you would like bacteria and god knows what else on your food you are welcome to take a chance at Munchies - good luck read more

Came here at 4:30 to get something quick to-go and they tell me it's closed. Door is unlocked, sign on door says open until 5, online says open until 5. What a horrible way to run a business. Will never be back. read more
