While the whiz is the classic version, we thought it was a tad too salty. The provolone was much better in my opinion. Each sandwich were around $17. I'm no expert on Philly sandwiches but they were pretty good.

Was in Philly for a work training and a friend and I wanted to get out for some lunch. Since we…read morewere walking, and since we wanted a cheesesteak, Sonny's was our choice. There was a bit of a line when we got there, but not bad, maybe. 5 minute wait to order. We both ordered a cheesesteak with provolone, but I also got onions and mushrooms (at least I think I had mushrooms). Food came out quick and hot and delicious! Great Philly 'feel' here and we sat at the counter against the wall. I've eaten a lot of cheesesteaks in Philly and this one was pretty good. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area.

I travel quite often and I love trying different breakfast sandwiches at every place I go. The sandwich was a lot spicier than I expected, but it still tasted really good. I just do not enjoy spicy food so much. If you do, then I would recommend the sandwich to you. The white mocha was good. Not too sweet. I think it may have tasted even better if my mouth was not on fire from the food LoL! My biggest downside for coming here was lack of interaction. You order from a screen and when they call out your name for your food the place it on a table to pickup. I have a personal preference for interaction at coffee shops. When I went up to ask the lady for a lid she was very kind though!

We arrived with a party of 7 and no reservation but were seated quickly with no hassle. The bartender appeared to be doubling as the server but took great care of us.

My waffle fries were to die for. Nicks is a great spot for a solid meal in the heart of Old City Philadelphia.

The roll is a little too soft for my tastes. It doesn't hold up as well as others. But it was solid. It's still not in my top 10 in the city. But it will go on my more recommended list.

I had heard alot about their chicken caesar wrap, and as a chicken caesar enthusiast, I had to give it a shot. This was absolutely incredible. Dare I say the best wrap I've had in Philly. Everything was perfectly fresh, the dressing was delicious, and the wrap was perfectly grilled. I went for the truffle fries on the side, they were great as well. Perfectly fried and seasoned. Unfortunately my snickerdoodle latte wasn't the greatest. The flavoring was lovely and was just sweet enough, but the espresso was a bit burnt. Overall this was great, definitely adding to my lunch rotation.

Food: The bagels themselves were unfortunately very hard and…read morenot entirely enjoyable to eat. That said, the egg, cheese, and fixings were great. It's possible the bagels weren't fresh when we visited (Tuesday morning). I ordered a cereal latte and a mango smoothie. The coffee was fine but not something I'd order again, while the smoothie was really good and something I would recommend. While dining in, the overall presentation felt more like a cafeteria experience than a sit-down café. We were given plastic to-go utensil sets, plastic cups, plastic straws, and our food was served on a baking sheet. The overwhelming use of plastic felt underwhelming for dining in and didn't align with the price point, especially when the average coffee + bagel total exceeds $15. Service: The staff was friendly overall, but not very mindful of professional behavior while working. While the atmosphere is meant to be relaxed, one barista was sitting on the countertops and taking personal calls on speaker, which felt off-putting as a customer. Ambiance: It's a nice open space with great natural lighting and plenty of seating. Overall, it's a good place to work, hang out, and get caffeinated.
