Not too often where you can eat dinner while playing video games in public. This is definitely a…read moreshame-free environment for sure. I was re-living my 90s video game memories by playing classics on the Super Nintendo emulator. Lot of classics, but super shout out to Donkey Kong Country 2, that I easily remembered after years. Anyhow, in between playing video games I went for an Eggplant Parm hero. There were some other interesting veggie choices - pasta, veggie burger, etc. - but I thought this one fit the bill. I was quite busy playing the video games that the food was secondary. However, I didn't hate a single bite of it. That's a good sign. Love reminiscing over childhood nostalgia playing video games!

This was a great experience for catering!…read more They have so many catering options on their website, and when I called they were also extremely helpful in answering questions and walking me through everything. I ordered a few 3 ft subs which were perfect for our large group. 3 Ft speciality subs are $80 and for an extra $10 they will cut the sub. They also charge a delivery fee of $25. They delivered right on time which was much appreciated. Everyone loved the sandwiches - we ordered a fully loaded Italian sub and a chicken cutlet sub. Overall this was a solid pick and I'm happy I placed a catering order here.

I chose the Vinnie's Italian Sausage which also has roasted red pepper and caramelized onion and I added mushrooms. Awesome combo! One of the stand outs about this pizza was the Italian sausage. It was so good. Not overly spiced but full of flavor and not gristly at all. I was in Naples, Italy this past fall and this pizza absolutely holds up to the real deal. Delicious handmade crust, fresh ingredients, full of flavor. I ordered take out so I can't speak to the ambience or direct service but I'd definitely order from this spot again if I'm in the area.

I kept it simple, and ordered a Margherita pizza. It took them about 10-15 mins to make my pizza. It was pretty good, but nothing spectacular about it. they have subs, pasta and other Italian items. I also believe this place also caters if your company is looking for an lunch option. There is an outdoor section with tables. I believe you can bring your pets, but think they need to be curbed. Everything keeps mentioning the speakeasy, but i didn't see it when i went. Again, i only went straight to the VB3 pizzeria located on the main street. no tables and only a standing section inside. Fairly small space.

But was very pleasantly surprised how well it held up and how tasty it was. Loved that they are generous with the toppings and it truly is worth it. The tiramisu was very tasty, just about perfect as can be. Loved the fresh farro salad with the dressing complimenting it well. The truffle gnocchi bites were fun to eat with the truffle aioli but it lacked the crunchy which would have made them perfect. The delivery was prompt co-ordinated by the restaurant and delivered with care. Highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to try their other pizzas.

After just moving to the neighborhood, I was hoping to find a local diner to love…read more I came across Tommy's on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Tommy's has obviously been around a long, long time. The inside was in bad condition. The tables were old and being held together with tape, same with the booth seats. The inside was not very clean. The service was nice, waitress was friendly and attentive. They've probably been working at Tommy's for many years and you can tell it's a family run operation. Breakfast menu was just the basics and VERY cheap. Charge us more! An egg and cheese sandwich was around $2.50... The kitchen was open so you could see the griddle and everything they were working with. It wasn't something I wish I'd seen. I ordered a two scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese, a Belgian waffle, and my mom ordered a Taylor ham egg and cheese on English muffin. My eggs came out very brown and flat with partially melted slices of mozz. The waffle was ok, but the syrup packet was not good. Breakfast sandwich looked the best. For all this food plus two coffees, the total was $20. For me, I would have been happy paying double the price with some better ingredients and maintained surroundings. I know this diner is family run and serves a community of people that have been coming for years. I wish them all the best, but this won't be my new neighborhood diner.

I have to confess that I have even less of a yen for cheesesteaks than I do for actual steak at a…read moreplace like Gallagher's or Smith & Wolensky. I've been in Philadelphia numerous times and have never felt an urge to sample for myself and decide which of the "famous" cheesesteak competitors in the city, across the street from each other-- Pat's or Geno's--- is actually the "superior" one. Couldn't have been less interested (unless it was someone offering me free tickets to an Eagles game; THAT I would have been less interested in, given my near-total boredom when it comes to sports of any kind). I did go through a phase during my college years (money ill-spent, given my subsequent "career" trajectory) where I ate lunch often in the cafeteria and invariably ordered a cheesesteak and a piece of German chocolate cake. Not quite sure at this late date what that was all about, but let's just say it's not one of my admittedly few "treasured" memories. Having said all that, I did order food the other day from Midtown Philly and was well satisfied. I was at work in Hoboken, suffering through yet another migraine and the nauseating effects of the medication I take for it (I really should have been home in bed, but if I take off every day I have a migraine...which is usually every single week and occasionally 2 or 3 days in a row...I'd be out of my job in no time at all). As I've perhaps mentioned in previous reviews, when I am in the throes of a migraine, it almost never proves deleterious to my appetite. If anything, it enhances it. I glanced over at my co-worker/friend, the former Godfather of Lunch (in his newly found sobriety from gluttony, he has sworn off ordering food to be delivered to our office, calling it "stress eating"). Not expecting an affirmative response, I asked, "You feel like ordering out?" Surprisingly, he immediately replied, "OK. We can't order Lo Fatt Chow anymore. What does that leave?" "What do you want?" He mentioned Midtown Philly. We had ordered from there before, a long time ago, and I hadn't disliked it, but...as I've said...I rarely, when hungry, say to myself, "What I need right now is a cheesesteak." This time, though, it seemed like an inviting and inspired change of pace, and I responded, "Ok. Let's do it." I ordered a Pittsburgh cheesesteak, which was the steak (ribeye, as I've learned-- not Steak-umm's, as I once thought), cheese, and tricolor coleslaw. The sandwich was just enough-- not enough to be uncomfortably over-filling, not skimpy enough to leave one hungry and feeling cheated. It was a moist, flavorful sandwich that did assuage my hunger, and left me thinking, "Maybe I need to re-think this lifelong indifference to Philly cheesesteaks!" It was helped by a plentiful side order of French Fries (they have a decent side order selection to choose from, if one is so inclined), which were crisp, just as I like them. They were too many of them, in fact, and I unloaded some on the Godfather, who in turn spooned over his tomatoes to me (don't ask me to explain his antipathy to tomatoes; I don't know! Tomatoes are one of the very few things he won't eat). I also had a lemon-lime Gatorade, which sometimes helps soothe (or so I've thought) a migraine, the electrolyte draining preparation for a colonoscopy, and...in the past...the fierce hangover left by an overindulgence the previous night in alcohol and opioids. I'm unsure what the Godfather ordered-- either the Diablo cheesesteak or the Volcano cheesesteak-- but it was ... obviously, given the name they've bestowed upon it...very, very hot indeed. Not something my delicate digestive system would have been able to handle (although I do sometimes wish fervently that I could still eat like that). However, the Godfather pronounced himself well satisfied on finishing it and he wasn't breathing fire in my direction. This was one time he didn't chastise me for "pushing" him into ordering food. They have other items one can order, like Hoagies-- including "Sinatra's Hoagie" (of course; it's Hoboken, after all!), which consists of ham, Genova salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, raw onions, olive oil, red wine vinegar. Next time, I might be tempted to order it. Salads too. And desserts. Prices were reasonable, delivery was quick and efficient, and the food really hit the spot, making the agony of my medicated migraine less intense and debilitating than it otherwise would have been. I very much recommend Midtown Philly. I look forward to ordering from there again, and I won't let a few years go by before I do so. And it has the enthusiastic seal of approval from the former Godfather of Lunch! What other recommendation do you really need?

We ordered the smalls for both and indeed the portions were small but tasty. I think the specialty burgers are reasonably, but sides are on the pricy side for the size.

You could tell the gentlemen (especially the one with the british/ish accent), they really enjoyed what they do and the flavors they put into the food. We got to try out some curry, the one is planning to add for a specialty sandwich for the world cup! Ambiance: Very no frills. There are two small tables; but the park is right down the road, so that is the option if you have a party of 3+. There's no AC, so i'd recommend carrying out if it's a hot summer day. Food: We got the moo moo platter. The yak burger was FULL of flavor, it's so different, but so delicious. The gator sausage, was cooked to perfection on a thick bun; and it's not hard to chew! This tends to be an issue with gator, it was awesome. The wild boar taco was delicious with a nice back heat with jalapeños, it's something i would sit and have three of; but the tortilla wasn't really heated through at the bottom so it was falling apart, but was still delicious, i just forked it up!! We will definitely snag more fun foods to try from here, I'm looking forward to the kangaroo, mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles.
