This is such an underrated spot. We've had dinner here twice now with our kids when down by the stadiums and love it! This is a typical dive bar but the food is so much better than you would expect from this type of place. This is a very local bar and if coming on a weekend be prepared for a music/more loud bar type atmosphere. Some of the food items we have ordered here are: cheesesteak egg rolls, boneless wings, kid's meals, pizza and crab fries. I don't think we have gotten one bad thing from here. I especially love the pizza and crab fries. The price is also very reasonable, defintley a better deal and better food than what you get eating in any of the sports complexes. Drinks are cheap too. Service has always been great. 5 stars. read more

My wife and I decided to eat at Philadium upon the recommendation from a security guard at the casino near Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. We enjoyed the sports atmosphere after the Reds v Phillies game on July 4th! I've been dying to know what all the fuss is about crab fries. So I got an order of crab fries and a Philadium Caesar Salad. Literally, the crab fries have crab meat, Old Bay seasoning and white American cheese on the fries. I would say they are good, and certainly glad I tried them. I would not feel the need to order them again unless it's a different restaurant that states "Best Crab Fries in Philly"!! The Philadium Caesar was different with shrimp and crab meat rather than chicken for a Caesar salad. It too was good but not overwhelmed by the goodness. My wife grabbed a house salad with ranch. She also ordered the best part of the meal. The Zucchini Chips!! They were outstanding! Served with amazing sriracha ketchup! Just the right flavor for an awesome fried zucchini chip. I recommend trying Philadium. It's a local restaurant so I'm happy to support local while traveling! By the way...the service was great. The young man did a great job answering my questions, at least trying to answering them! read more

Had a great pregame drink/meal before the Flyers matinee. Decent craft beer list, plenty of cocktails too. Bloody Mary was solid. Fried pickles for an app since all of their sandwiches come solo. They were very heavy on the batter but not greasy. Pork sandwich was killer. My wife loved her Turkey club. Very reasonable pricing all around. Outdoor space is a bonus. This place can get quite busy on game days. Be prepared and get there early. Dive bar fee on the interior. Great locals bar. Recommend. read more

All of the appetizers, cheese fries, panzarotti, cheesesteak egg rolls were excellent. We also got a cheesesteak and the hot honey pepperoni pizza. It was top 5 in the city, you heard that right! There were four of us and we pre-gamed before a Phillies game. Great spot and will return! Great food and drinks, good vibes read more

Friendly atmosphere, service is great, food is delicious. Many vegan options which is really appreciated. My husband is not vegan ( I am) but we usually split the vegan special pizza because it's so good and he likes it, too. Most fun place to go before a Phillies or Eagles game. We try to go there every time before a game. read more

The food came out fresh , quickly and hot. Our server was available and visited us at the right times. A great bar atmosphere

Jaimie was fabulous! She was absolutely accommodating and putting tv on nbc to watch the send off party! Great service and always fab service!! See you soon philadium!! read more

Depends on what you want...Definitely good food and drink...reasonable prices...great service...the bartenders can even make a decent martini. The clientele? Meh...your typical self-impressed South Philly types who think they're better than they are. Not too friendly, and I'm a local. Getting sick of them. I also go to an Asian bar/restaurant on the Parkway...INFINITELY nicer clientele! These Philadium peeps should take lessons, but they won't. They're far too insular for that!!! Not much the bar can do about who frequents the place, but if it's good food, drink and service that you want, this is fine! read more

I ordered a southern fried chicken sandwich, french fries, cheesesteak, and devil blend fries. My sandwich tastes different in a good way. Its a flavor i never had before. Watching a soccer game while eating this. I would say the food is simple. I paid about $52 for food. read more

Fried Bologna. Sleeper spot. Great old school spot, if you know you know. Ice cold beer!!! read more

Staff was incredibly friendly and the place was clean. Great atmosphere and a good place to watch the game!

After hearing about this place for years, I decided they would get my pre-Sixers game business tonight. I had the boy with me so I was happy to see the kids menu. Cheeseburger for the boy, roast pork sandwich for me. Nice and easy. Well the best compliment I can give is this. I can tell that they take some pride in their sandwiches. The roast pork was juicy and tender, and it had a nice spice to it. It was everything a South Philly roast pork sandwich is supposed to be. The boy didn't complain about the burger. I will say I really liked my taste of the fries. They have a little something to them. Seriously. Forget that big overrated sports bar across the street. This place is the real deal. read more

Probably the worst burger I've ever had. Tasted and looked like the absolute lowest quality food you could purchase as a restaurant. Not only was it terrible, I waited 30+ minutes after the other entrees had come out to get my burger. Service started okay but once food was ordered we never saw our server again read more

Never going back. I used to go every time before a flyers game for years. On 1/6, my boyfriend and I went. We ordered by 5:55, I got a cheesesteak and he got a burger. My boyfriend and I have two drinks and only his food arrives at 6:15. I'm not upset about that because I'd rather his food not get cold waiting for mine. But by 6:20 I asked the server to check on my food. Never got an update. At 6:25 a table that sat and order 15 minutes after my boyfriend and I got their cheesesteaks. So I called the server over and said cancel my cheesesteak I'm leaving. It's the principle at this point and now we have to spend more than double the price for me to eat at the game. Another server comes up and she apologized and I stated you guys didn't get me my food but someone else got what I ordered when they ordered after me. I also stated that they didn't discount anything for their mistake. She said they discounted the cheesesteak, I responded with yeah the one I didn't get! I wasn't expecting any crazy discount but maybe 10% or a free drink on the house. Mistakes happen but it's the way they handled it is what lost them a long time customer. I'll make sure to tell all my friends who I have brought over the years to not go there anymore. read more

The food was really great. The price of the food is really great. The service was also great. The place is a bar. And if you like that your golden. The bar is actually really cool with Philadelphia sports pictures all over it. It's clean. It's got a very south Philly atmosphere. It's totally my thing but if not a Philadelphia fan, might not be yours. But overall so far on my first visit after driving by for the past 18 years, it is everything I was hoping it would be and I will be back. read more

Awesome bar that probably has its local clientele and also gets packed during Philly sports games. Great choices of heavy food that would probably pair awesome with a couple cold ones. read more

Lost my order after an hour wait. This place is disorganized . Manager is clueless walks around behind the bar doesn't know what he's doing . Kids are running the show which is why this place is garbage now read more

Nice little south Philly joint. It's a usual stop for us before a Phillies game. The service is typical south Philly and isn't much to write home about. The bathroom is filthy, needs a handyman and has no soap. There was a questionable water pool all over the floor. The food however is pretty good and the beer is cold. The stuffed long hots were absolutely awesome! The nachos are above average. Most every sandwich is a winner. Don't expect warm service or immaculate cleanliness above basic living standards. The food though is worth it. It's across the street from a much larger south Philly chain sports bar, to save you the trouble of that over packed joint. read more

Philadium - Long Hots, stuffed with mozzarella and wrapped in bacon. Sensational! - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Well this not the type of place you visit for the romantic ambiance or service, to start with. It's a bar with extended sidewalk covered, patio seating in the heart of S. Philly. The food, on the other hand, is exactly why you visit. They make their menu well, and your going to get the gravy if you order it. I recommend you do, I had the Short Rib Ravioli with BBQ sauce. It was fantastic. My friend ordered the meatball parm sandwhich, said it was better than Nana's. You can trust me when I tell you, Nana's are damn good. The Gentle Don's recipe. Drinks were ok, I got an old fashionied with Makers Mark. It hit the mark especially for 7 dollars. Prices overall are very decent, cheaper than your average chain store. You'll find one of those across the way from Phiadium, ends with Petes. I'd go to Philadium over that place 10 out of 10 times. read more

This is a Great place. A must for me every time I'm in Philly. Cold beer and the tomato pie is Tasty . read more

What a great find. Called them when I was driving into Philly to see if they would be showing the Florida Panthers versus Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game. They said that they would get it on which they did when I arrived. The crew behind the bar was fantastic. I got the brisket filled ravioli which was unbelievable! Absolutely fantastic. While sitting at the bar, I got to watch the rest of the food coming out of the kitchen and it all looks amazing. Can't wait to go back and try this place in the future. A must when visiting Philly a great local place. read more

Kaitlin recommended these and they were amazing. Great food great place reasonably priced. We also ordered a cheesesteak that was equally good. read more

Came down for the Lakers/Sixers game. Like my tip says...parking is a mess. The guys running the place couldn't be nicer. My only gripe was with my beer. I ordered a draft of Fat Tire what I got was a draft of New Belgium Wit. I drank the brew but would have gone a different direction if I knew they didn't have the Fat Tire. I prefer to be told the draft list is wrong then to get passed a different beer. I didn't circle back but I did get wacked for $5.50 for a big ass basket of fries. I swear the menu said fries were a $1 add to cheese steaks. I got a basket for almost $6????? read more

The Philadium this place has the best food there's nothing on the menu that's not amazing. The service is great. The people are great. The food's amazing like I said you also have the choice of sitting outside or inside during the winter or summer you can sit outside. They have an awesome beautiful tent that's heated seating all the way around in the summer air conditioned seating if you want sit inside, you have that choice also. It's amazing I can't say enough about this place the manager is an awesome person. The owner is an awesome person and they run their establishment above the limits. This is another place that I rock their T-shirts I need to get their old hats and hoodies I love them. They just got new ones. I absolutely Love the baby blue one (my favorite color ) I need all the new hoodies, T~Shirts and hats too. If you're around, definitely stop in grab some great food, drinks some Philadium gear and watch the games enjoy yourself it's a great establishment and like I said, the manager is a great person and so is the owner. Stop in really you definitely won't regret it. I PROMISE THAT. You might even run into one of our Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies or Flyers players present and retired you never know they're there a lot just a little extra for such a great establishment. If you do run into one of the players, be respectful if they're eating leave them eat their food, they like to enjoy their food hot too. MAKE SURE YOU STOP ON IN read more

The biggest and most succelent mussels I've had in a long time, and Katie, the best server ever!!!!!

I've been going here for 40 years. Usually before a Phils game. It used to be great. Dumpy dive bar. There were parents with kids. Lots! And a $14 Cheese Burger. Just what the world needs. Food was fine. I'm writing this at the games and the Dodgers are Whooping us. Some things never change. I lied we came back and won in the 16th inning!!! I take it back. Eat here it's lucky!! read more

Philadium Baladium this place is the t:ts Anyone going to a birds or Phil's games should make this a must stop before or after the game. Lady running the bar prolly had great cans back in the day and I must say I wish I was there. They gots a bangin peanut butter and hotdog sandwich which isn't on the menu. You just gotta ask... read more

Philadium is the perfect place in South Philly to eat or drink before/after the game Their sirloin cheesesteak is VERY good and what I usually get when I'm there. But honestly, any appetizer there is solid and so I wouldn't overthink it. If I had to choose what apps to get, try the fried mozzarella and cheesesteak egg rolls. Their pizza is also a great as well (House pie is spicy ). You honestly can't go wrong with anything you try here Drinks are always cold, the vibes are great. Perfect local spot even on a non-gameday. Personal favorite favor in Philly to be honest. read more

Philadium is a South Philly classic. Great food and alternative to Chickie's which get way overcrowded and the food is not 1/2 as good

Stop in here for lunch today and I'm glad we did. They did an amazing job with the outside seating area and the server Joe was great. I started off with a Bloody Mary and Steve made it to perfection. For lunch I had wings, Caesar salad with shrimp and they were both very good. My daughter got a BLT with an avocado spread that was in her words "amazing" lol!!!! We will definitely be stopping back soon as long as our mayor allows the restaurants and bars continue to stay open. read more

My wife had dinner here after the 2022 TSO Concert. She had cheeseburger and I a Hot Roastbeef sandwich. There was a bit of confusion with the burger order, and truthfully my wife admitted she my have misread the menu. Both the server and the manager, I am guessing the owner did everything to make us happy. The roastbeef was great but not the best. That is because I am old enough to remember Mulligan's Bar, at 28th and Jackson st. lol Seriously both meals were very good and we definitely we go back. read more

Food is always top notch and the staff is very friendly. Great Neighborhood spot anytime...other place in the area is overrated.

Great spot in Philly not far from the stadiums. We decided to try this place out after a Phillies game and the food was good. We got Cheesesteak Egg Rolls which were delicious, a fried meatball sandwich and a spicy chicken sandwich. The sandwiches were really good and fresh. The only downside is that the place is CASH ONLY!! So make sure you have cash on you... ATM is available but you will receive a surcharge to use. read more
