A friend and I stopped here Saturday early evening to get a bite to eat and a drink. It was not a lot of people inside. It was probably a total of 6 people including us. The music was great. They were playing old-school hip-hop and R&B. We tried to order some finger foods, However, we were unable to order certain things because the fryer was broken and they were not able to make the food. We did order Long Island iced tea for a drink was pretty good, the bartender was really nice and attentive and the food tastes great. There is no parking. We had to park about a block away and cross the street to get to the location. However, I was told that there is a parking lot on the side of the building, but it looks kind of sketchy so I rather not park in there I rather just use street parking. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service! Went on a Tuesday as a walk-in. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks with the bartender who was honestly fine. We were then told that food had to be ordered through a separate person which I thought was strange, but we continued to order our food. Then the food waitress told us about a "Tuesday crab special five crabs $25." She said " how about you order one" as I was indecisive about ordering a whole set of five. To my surprise, a plate of five crabs come out, but I wasn't upset because I figured I'll just take the rest home. The food itself was tasty and well seasoned, but to our surprise when we received a separate check for the food, then the drinks we were told that we had to pay cash for the food, but could use card for the drinks. Again, I thought this was strange since we're still at the same establishment, but being told that we have to use two different payment methods for food versus drinks also, the cash only food was not communicated with us prior to ordering and we had no cash. We ended up going to an ATM to be able to pay the bill. At this point, I'm ready to go, and I asked her to go box for my crabs. At that point, the food waitress tell us that we cannot take the food to go. It is at this point that my party starts to get upset because at no point during the service was this communicated to us prior to ordering our food. If I would've known the food is dine in only, I wouldn't have ordered the crabs. At this point, the food waitress begins to get very hostile with us and when I asked her, how can we resolve the issue at hand? She said that there was no resolution and that we will not be able to take the food home, even though we've already paid for it and tipped her. At this point, the manager comes over and says that we can take the food. That's when the waitress very rudely tells us to leave. At this point, I asked for my tip back because I'm not gonna pay extra to be disrespected. I would absolutely never step foot into this establishment again. The food was fine, but the customer service was disgusting. read more

Terrible service , they renovated the place so it looks completely different. First of all it's cash only which is super weird. What kind of the establishment doesn't accept cards? I asked the waitress and she's like there's a machine but they only accept cash going on 4 months. The bartender didn't crack not one smile. They food waitress didn't come over to ask for our order. My boyfriend had to go across the bar to get our order. I looked over and everyone was on their phone. Then , our food didn't come at the same time. My boyfriends food arrived cold so we sent it back and I had to wait extra 30 mins for mine. I would no recommend this place. They had a TON of security and they search you which is uncomfortable. Like I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone . Oh and not to mention our drinks were $48 for 2 drinks !!! You do the math. read more

We order chicken wings, salad and chic cheese steak rolls and 6 fried shrimps. No wings, first the salad was just spring mix, it was supposed to have cucumbers, egg, tomatoes. The waitress had to send the salad back. The cucumbers had to be frozen and then thawed out, so they were soft terrible. The chicken cheese steak rolls cooked too long..... such a disappointment. They truly need a new cook, helpers something .Please start catering to mature adults... we are excellent tippers....... read more

SO.....Chucks Alibi.....hmmmm..... Ok, Chucks Alibi came up as a new option to head to for our friday lunch time. We were in the mood for seafood, and someone suggested we try here. So, quick jump on Yelp to see what my fellow Yelpers have to say about the place. *Price is Right Horn* 2 Stars? Yikes. But, I decide to dig deeper; and there seemed to be an often repeated phrase: "Crappy place, terrible service.....FOOD IS GREAT THOUGH." So I figured I'd at least give Chucks Alibi a chance to set the record straight. Friday rolls around and we make the trek over to Five Points. NOW, Chucks has a TINY (and I mean TINY) private lot, but anytime other than midday, the parking here is probably a nightmare. Located at the intersection of Castor, Oxford and Rising Sun, there isn't much in the way of where to park your car. I'm not sure how anyone going here at night manages. We were able to park in the lot, but again, it was midday on Friday. Upon walking in, I immediately saw how Chucks earned it's 2 star rating. The inside itself skews a bit toward "dilapidated." It's old. And not just in "behind the times," although it is that too, (there is a section of those half round velvet booths like Tony Montana sat in in Scarface). The inside seemed run down. Upon entering the dining area, there is a huge bar taking up almost the entire first floor, but there appears to be a dining area off to the side, and a split level situation next to that. We choose up, and headed to the aforementioned Scarface booth section. Along our way, we pass a man (maybe an employee?) fast asleep in one of the booths. Not a good look. We choose to sit at a table rather than the velour mafia booths, and notice that the table is sticky. Gross. At this point, one of our four even says, "man....I don't want to eat here." It was at this point that I mentioned the reviews. "Good food, terrible everything else." So he relented and decided to at least try the food. Our waitress came over (very nice btw. We had no problems with SERVICE, except for a sneaky little caveat that I'll get to....), and handed us the menus. We order and wait for our food. A crabcake sandwich for me, buffalo cheese steak, chicken parm sandwich and 1 pound of Dungeness crabs for the others. The food comes out, and looks fine, so we dig in. First, there are no crab crackers here. That's insane. A place that sells crab legs doesn't have crab crackers! My friend pointed out, almost assuredly correctly, that they probably get stolen, so there's that. But still, if you come here for crab, either bring your own crackers, or get your hands nice and ready. The crab cake sandwich was good; it wasn't jumbo lump, but it wasn't backfin, canned crab either. Decent. The buffalo chicken and parm sandwiches got, "actually, pretty good" descriptors. The crab was described as "delicious," so I guess there may be something to the reviews after all. Now, the sneaky caveat: Chucks Alibi ADDS GRATUITY TO THE TIP, no matter what. We wound up double tipping, as we didn't notice until we got back to the office. Ugh. I'm giving Chucks Alibi 3 stars, as the food was good, and thats what matters MOST. The table being sticky is seriously concerning, but I didn't get the vibe that that place is DIRTY, just definitely indicative of its geographical location. We didn't try the drinks, but I hear they do that well as well. I'd give them another shot. It's definitely someplace to go if you're not the pretentious type and just want some good food without all (or ANY really) of the fuss. read more

I used to frequent this place approximately 5yrs ago. Always a good time, Good food & even better service. As of late, not so much! The food has been pretty consistent but the staff and service is poor and beyond unprofessional. Most times U will find yourself stalking the bartenders for a drink even when the bar isn't crowded; to be greeted with not so pleasant attitudes by not so pretty girls who can't make drinks. I sent my Long Island back and the bartender asked me what's wrong with it? I explain what was wrong with my drink and she says, i ran out of sour mix. So u just gonna charge me 13$ for a glass of bs? I don't understand it. I even had a server charge my card gratuity for takeout on top of taking my cash tip. When confronted acted totally oblivious. Check ur receipts cuz these ppl will rob you. read more

Service was Horrible don't try to get a beer on a Friday night you probably won't be served for 20 minutes. The Bartender took 20 minutes to do everything. She moved so slowed that I wondered how you even work here if you move that slow. It's tough to go back honestly very frustrating. read more

I frequent this establishment quite a few times when I'm in the area and I always have the issue of having to wait a while for someone to service me when I'm sitting at the bar. However last night was horrible. A friend and I went last night and sit at the bar. No one is in the bar except for me and my friend, so I assumed we would get serviced quick. 10 min later and nothing. I walk up and ask the security guard are they even open since no one is saying anything to us. He assumed they were open. We had to get up and walk to another area to order a cheesesteak. We sit at the bar again and nothing. After we walk back to the cheesesteak counter I guess someone told the bartender we were complaining as to which we just ordered our Uber at this point. There was a girl behind the bar that says, "Hey"! We turn around and I'm like yes? She says very rudely, "Is there a problem"? We explained our issue and the bartender is still rude and aggressive. She says " Did you even tell anyone you wanted a drink". She was the rudest person ever. Some people don't need to be in the service industry. Chucks do better. In the image the girl on the right is the one who hassled us. This is also a pic of them not doing anything while we are trying to get service. read more

Chuck's Alibi - Poor service - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chuck's is a mix between a local pub, an Atlanta club and diner. I am merely reviewing the night life here because I came here for drinks on a Fri night. The music was by far the BEST part of this friday night experience. It was all old school Mase, 112, SWV, perfect for a few drinks....and maybe a shot. I would definitely return, everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal, unfortunately I did not stay much past midnight as I had to work the next day. read more

Chuck's Alibi - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Not sure what happened with Chuck's over the years, but it went completely downhill. Decided to come here for a last minute happy hour with my husband, and talk about being completely ignored. We sat at the bar for a good 5 minutes without being acknowledged. I could see if it was packed but it was literally 2 other patrons and the rest were workers. My husband had to get a barmaids attention to ask if she's serving, but I guess that wasn't her area. Still no menu, so after another 3 minutes of no service we left. Never again will I attempt to give them my money. read more

Had a wonderful time.The food was superb and our waitress was very professional,and quite attractive,I must say. The food was cooked just right,and we even spoke with the cook,on our way back to the parking lot. If you go,and have never been there,make certain you ask for the beverage,"The Ali Bomb",and make sure you drink the limited amount of two(2). Before u drink though,please make sure that you have someone to drive you home.Yes,do not attempt to drive,after two of them.Now,this spot is really,cool and cozy in the winter time.Nice music,and just a place to chill,with your sidekick,sidechick,wifey,husband,or significant other. Make sure that you are hungry though,because the portion sizes are great.Remember again,"Ali Bomb". read more

Soo here's the truth about Chuck Alibi... This is my neighborhood bar and I'd say that this place is as versatile as it gets. You want a drink, a shot, good food, good music, random experiences Chucks can do it all. My TIP: Bring Cash Now here's some of the things that I struggle understanding. The turnover with the staff is insane. There's always new faces in there. No biggie just something I've noticed. The other thing, is the service especially when it comes to ordering food is eh meh. Normally when I come here I'm here to chill so I don't mind but could definitely improve. NOW HERES MY PET PEEVE.....There's a separate bill for food and drinks!! Wtf!! That's gets me every time! All in all go to Chucks and have a great time. It's worth it read more

A friend and I went in for a quick lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We sat our selves at the bar and saw another customer at the end of the bar reading a magazine. We sat a few minutes and looked around for someone to acknowledge us and suddenly the woman at the end of the bar got up and went behind the bar and gave us menus. The food was good, we ordered 3 appetizers. We also had 3 drinks. When we were finished we asked for our bill and the bartender handed me a receipt that said $94.62. I asked for an itemized bill at which time the bartender rolled her eyes. She came back with the itemized bill and I noticed a Gratuity charge for $12.65. I asked what that was and the woman stated, " you never heard of a gratuity fee?". I stated, Yes, when there is a very large party but not for 2 people that are the only folks in the establishment at the time. She could have had a larger tip, but I ultimately opted to pay her the $12.65 and nothing more. WATCH YOUR BILL AT THIS PLACE, THEY ARE SNEAKY WITH CHARGES. Not to mention the extremely RUDE woman bartender. Never going back to that place again. That is a shame because the food itself is pretty good. read more

Went here on Sunday to attend an album release party so I was not dining in (and from the other reviews, I should count my blessings!) In the back of the restaurant through the doors is a really nice, intimate venue. It's ashame the bartenders suck... The bar was extremely crowded so I understood the long wait, however generally if there's and event , most places will staff more than one bartender. Its a novel idea, but it just might work! So after my friend and I got tired of waiting we went to the.main bar and the chick bartending had the nastiest attitude and horrible customer service. She proceeded to walk past us twice and serve other customers eventhough we told her we'd like to order, and the other patrons came up after us. So we went back to the slow bartender. And after he took 25 mins to get our order and spent another 20,mins reading the ingriedients on the menu to make our carribean punches we got our drinks in less than an hour. Based on that experience I would NEVER patronize the restaurant plus the parking situation is atrocious. Sux too cause the drink actually turned out good... read more

One and Done! We were looking for a place to hold our "girls night out". It won't be this place! The highlight of my dining experience was the waitress (a delightful young lady that could do a whole lot better in a more desirable establishment) and the bread. With that said there were several issues to name: 1) I've never been to a restaurant where the table is set with a plastic place setting. 2) Unappetizing appetizer (muscles with the beard still in some) served with plastic plates to eat from. 3) Shrimp scampi over seasoned with lemon and over cooked shrimp. The Fried shrimp was huge but it was not seasoned and the crab plate had unidentifiable seasonings with a hard baked potato. The manager did take the price of my food off but by then the damage was done. 4) The distraction of the staff (namely the manager and the "chef") walking around the entire time we were there. I can't recall the last time; I've seen kitchen staff that needed to be in the front so much. Overall the server was great but the service was horrible. By the time we left we advised the young lady to get another job in a better establishment. She could do a whole lot better and make way more tips than in this place. read more

I was looking forward to hanging out with my friend but then I found out it was a bar. I was somewhat reluctant because I generally don't go to bars. It just isn't my thing. Then I learned it was a bar restaurant that was somewhat of an old school atmosphere no drama, good food, and decent music. I walked in looking around trying to get a sense of the atmosphere. Immediately we were informed that a Septa Group was having a fish fry and go ahead back. Of course we declined and say at the bar. There seemed to be bartender for everything, greeting, another for drinks, one to handle food, another to check you and remove your dirty dishes and empties. I initially looked at it as really cool but then as the night went on I began to not like it. I will explain why shortly. I was told the mussels were to die for. Well let's just I died for a feed minutes after my King Edward Mussels came. This was a yumful moment. Juicey, sweet (not sugary) but slightly firm in fresh garlic, parsley, buttery sauce that I wanted to drink. I didn't drink it but considered it. Then I dove into my buffalo shrimp. OMG! Theses little "fishies" went we-we-we all the way home to my tummy. A side of blue cheese was provided. Every was this crisp y outside with perfectly cooked shrimp. I was so pleasantly surprised by how delish this food was prepared, plated and served. This place to look at it is a typical bar not fancy at all. The musics rotated skipping from the 60's put to present day. People were laughing , drinking and eating and every now again someone would feel the music and dance a little. It is a chilled atmosphere and overall layer back. This was what I needed chilled with good food and good service. The drink bartender gave my friends and I a sample of this frozen drink that was sitting on the counter. I ordered one and it was like a strawberry fruity daiquiri. It was so enjoyable. The bill came and it at a service charge, tax, food charge. I trough it was my entire bill. Nope! It was only for the food. Then before leaving we realized the bill didn't mention the drinks. I asked because I didn't want any drama being that I wasn't a local. That is when I was told $10. I laughed because the bartender laughed but this man was serious. In my mind I was puzzled because the cost was similar to the cost of a few higher end places that I have been. After I got over blinking rapidly I paid him and tipped. This was supposed to be my frugal night, keeping my cost under $25. Not here I spent almost $50 between the food drinks and two bartenders. I wish the bartender had told me the cost of the frozen drink and informed me of the drink specials that were $3 and $6. The bartender who handled my food took my money to cover my food. When she returned with my change it was short $.30. I asked her what happened to the rest of my change. She told me Oh! You want that? I said, "Uh yeah." She paused and looked at me as if I was being unreasonable and then said "well I didn't have any change". She then pulls out 2 quarters and gives it to me. What nerve to make an assumption like that. If she keeps the change from other customers all night who knows how much she can make above and beyond her hourly rate and actual tips earned. That was stealing, in poor taste, and unethical. I gave back a quarter because it was about the principle of the matter. That type of waiter can be bad for business. read more

So I've been here about 5 or 6 times now and have always had a good time. There's two separate areas with two different bars and menus, the takeout area and the main area. The takeout area is good for a quick cheesesteak during the day and the main area at night has a nice, fuller menu. Lately, Chuck's Alibi has been my go-to cheesesteak spot. And seafood is booooomb. It's smells so good and the taste does not disappoint! They had Karaoke night the last time I went (it was a Tuesday). read more

Made the mistake to go back again.... why!!! The bar service was just horrible. Ordered my first drink and had to call the bartender over to request another drink. Finally I wanted a glass of water and didn't see the bartender; it's appears she's on the other side behind the pillar eating a bowl of cereal. Granted it's lunch time and it's only 5 ppl at the bar but at least make sure all guests are cool before you pour the milk. I decided to set my timer and just wait to see if she will tend to me. Nope!!! She did finish her cereal and then looked at her phone for a while before looking up. I called the waitress over to request a manager. I kept the timer running and decided to stop it when the manager came. Another messed up lunch date trying to give Chucks another chance. SMH. I took a pic of the timer and the horrible bartender!!! read more

Save your money! This place is just disrespectful! $33.00 for overcooked chewy fried shrimp that came with fries saturated in grease! It's just not worth it! They deserve 0 stars! read more

Brought my daughter and grandson to come try out the food and as soon as we came in we had to wait for someone to tell us where we can and cant sit. Mind you his is a weekday evening and not really a crowd so it shouldn't have taken 10mins to get acknowledged and seated. When we sat down the host or waitress or whoever she was asked what we wanted and took one order then walked off to go smoke hookah with im guessing her friend. Hence came back 5 mins later to take the rest of the orders. After 45mins of waiting and asking if the cheese steaks was done she started to ignore my calls. I went back to kitchen area and they not even making my food or any food just back there on their phones. Finally the host or waitress tells me to sit down and i cant go to the kitchen and talk to cooks. Another 20mins goes by and she brings out our food in a to go bag basically trying to tell us to leave. Mind you we sitting down and wanted to dine in . Unwrapped the food and they didnt even get the orders completely correct smh. But anyways the food tasted good and thats probably the best hing about his visit, but i will likely never come here again from this awful experience read more

They renovated the place and it looks nice. The food was delicious however my husband and I sat on the side tables no one never came to take our orders so we decided to go to the bar. We sit at the bar and the waitress never came the bartender told us she takes drink orders & the other young lady takes food orders. The bartender wined up taking our orders which her name was Ada & she was a very nice polite young lady. We ask the guy who came over that was behind the bar can he get us some takeout containers he said no you have to ask the waitress & he never told her we asked for the containers. When I say they service suck I mean it. The only good thing is the bartender(Ada) she was wonderful that would be the only reason I will go back read more

I ordered 3 cheesesteaks and fries over the phone for pick up. The person taking my order was rude and unprofessional. After I picked up my order and pulled off, I realized that they did not put my fries in the bag. I went back to get my fries and did not even receive an apology for the mix up. When I arrived home, I had 3 chicken cheesesteaks instead of beef. When I called to let them know, the girl who answered just rambled on about how she didn't take my order so she didnt know it was wrong. Still no apology for the mistake, just a bunch of excuses. Unfortunately this is not the first time I had a bad experience with this restaurant and I will not be returning. read more

This is a local bar restaurant nearby the food is usually really good but the drinks are off the hook. I would reccomend if you come her to try the fried shrimp and the crab legs they are the best!!! I also like how the bartender makes the mixed drinks they are always very flavorable. The price is a little expensive but it well worth the money i put out. I will come back again in the future. You should try it too.... read more

Took forever for the bar maid to acknowledge me and my friend. She was focused on watching the tv and playing in her hair. It wasn't even crowded at the bar - six people at the bar. I finally came here after my friends ranted and raved about this place. It took 30 minutes for someone to come take my food order. I ordered calamari and it took 25 minutes to get to me. When they arrived, they looked like bloated Cheerios that had been over fried. I'm good on this place. Not worth the hype... read more

I went with a couple of my gfs at 9:30 on a Friday night. The atmosphere is a very chill and laid back place. The place got pretty packed by 11PM. They have daily specials on drinks as soon as you walk in the door. They have $6 margarita specials on Friday. I thought the margarita's would be watered down because of the special but it was strong!!! The food was almost perfect but because of the you peel shrimp I am giving this place a 4 star instead of 5. It was toooo salty and spicy because of the buttery/old bay sauce it was in. Don't get me wrong...the sauce was good BUT I wish they had it on the side so I could dip my shrimp. Also, the bathroom is not clean!! But it's a bar so what do you expect?? No paper towels and hand dryer is broken read more

While Chuck's is famous for its seafood, I have been twice in a week and have been very disappointed with the quality of food. Both times I got the whiting platter and both times it was poorly seasoned. I hope they can get it together soon but I won't be back for a while. read more

This place sucks. The food is average at best, and the service is lousy. Want to eat a seafood dinner with plastic utensils? Go ahead, enjoy. Do you want to listen to unbearably loud hip hop music while you eat? Enjoy that, too. This was our second time at Chuck's and it was actually worse than our first visit. We went to meet some friends who were going to be there watching the Flyers game. I had heard from friends that the cheesesteaks were good, so I decided to try one. I ordered a mushroom cheesesteak, and instead I got a chicken cheesesteak. Ok, one screw up is an honest mistake, but when the waitress brought out the second steak, it had no cheese on it. How can you have CHEESESTEAK without any cheese? On the third attempt, she finally got my order right, but the sandwich was average at best. The meat was dry and the mushrooms looked like they came out of a can. It was edible, but I will definitely NOT be going there for another cheesesteak. My girl ordered mussels. The first time they came out, they were literally smothered in garlic. It was overpowering, and not in a good way. We both LIKE garlic, but this was inedible. You couldn't taste the mussels at all. We sent it back, and the waitress brought another order of mussels in 5 minutes. My girl and I were both a little suspicious that they just scraped off the garlic and brought out the same dish, but the waitress said no, they gave us another customer's order. We still couldn't figure out what she meant, but we thought that maybe someone had ordered the first dish with extra garlic and it found it's way to our table by mistake. No, the waitress said that was how they normally fix them. Huh? While it only took 5 minutes to replace the mussels, it took three times longer to get me another cheesesteak, and just as long to get the third one after the second one was messed up, too. By the way, while the substandard food was replaced, no one offered to adjust the check, and the bartender (we were eating at the bar) still wanted me to pay $2 every time she refilled my diet coke. Considering the circumstances, I told her we should at least get free refills on our soft drinks for the rest of the evening. A few ounces of soda seem like a small price to keep a customer happy after you've made three separate mistakes on the food. She said she would have to ask the manager, and after doing so, she did refill our soft drinks for free the rest of the evening. The shame of it is, the mussels, when they weren't drowning in garlic, were actually quite tasty. But I see no reason to go back again after the repeated mistakes, and the other things (plastic silverware, much too loud music, and zero interest on the part of management (until I ASKED for a concession on the drinks, that is). Chuck's is within walking distance from my house, but I will be getting in the car and driving somewhere else the next time I want to have a decent dinner. read more

We stopped back this past weekend and it seems the previous issues were all magically addressed! The music was much quieter and was more appropriate for dining, the temperature was consistently cool, and they served wet naps with the crabs! And the crabs, I don't know if I was extra hungry but they were extra good!! This place is definitely a winner. read more

Its kinda crazy. I've passed by Chuck's a bunch of times, and always thought to myself, whenever we feel like going out for dinner, but can never decide where, let's try this place. I'm not so sure I'm glad we did. We arrived on a Friday night, where parking was completely concealed. They mention on their menus that they have a free valet service, to which would have been helpful, considering we parked a couple blocks away. Speaking of parking, the homes surrounding Chuck's must not appreciate their business, as while we were walking to our car, I could hear two urban hillbillies complaining about how we took up two spots in front of their house. So, we actually get into Chuck's, and we approach a friendly guy and tell him we'd like a table. He responds by saying 'You can sit anywhere you want, anywhere that's available', which is kinda confusing, and leaves you staring people down who have their disheveled napkins on the their plates in front of them. It was a busy Friday night with the music being played hard. Its busy, and I get that our waitress is a bit stressed, so I'm not going to knock the service. She was nice and friendly and did the bare essentials. Had I known that this was a primarily a seafood joint, I don't think I would have gone, but it certainly wasn't a disappointment for my wife. I ordered Chuck's Famous Alibi burger and she had the butterfly shrimp. The burger was okay, nothing fabulous or famous about it, and priced decently, I suppose, at about 6.95. The shrimp, however, were not as colossal as promised, and at 13.95 for 6, seemed to be a bit high. I was completely floored when we were charged 8.00 for my wife's rum and coke. After all, I don't think I'll be back to Chuck's, and I'm kinda sorry that we went there in the first place. I usually like to patronize mom and pop shops in and around my neighborhood, however, Chuck's is one alibi, I won't be using. read more

I went there when they first open, food was good and at reasonable prices. Maybe the 3rd time I was there, I wasn't sure if they were short on staff but it took them 30minutes to get to us. Of course, we decided to leave after waiting so long; after that time the place just totally turned me off and I haven't gone there since. Eat in: awful Bar: Good Food: Delicious Area: Not bad, a lot of traffic since it's right in intersection I like the place, just hope you don't pick a rotten day to go where the staff is lounging around haha. read more

Over priced drinks, mixing 4 or 5 different liquors and adding juice should NOT cost 15.00, and its not top shelf liquor either. 2 crab clusters and 2 pieces of corn should NOT cost 25.00!

Slowest service in Philadelphia. Also they can't get an order right. The food isn't bad though.

Really bad experience. Long Island was mostly ice, party of 6 had to wait 45 mins for cold food. Cheese steaks cold, Alfredo cold, my scampi was extremely watered down, whiting was just a frozen filet deep fried with no flavoring. We just paid for the drinks and on our way to TGIFridsys. Never again. read more

Chuck's Alibi - Shrimp and crab legs - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I ordered my food, called to confirm, was told to come in for the food it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went to pick up the food and the staff were extremely unprofessional. I waited 2 hours to be told my order was given to someone else. When I asked how much longer it would take to have a new order placed, they stated they already had to orders waiting. They attended to make no accommodations for their error and mistake. Definitely will not order for this place again.. read more

It has great seafood and music. The crabs were good as usual. The sweet chili wings were excellent. Only bad thing is they only have one crab cracker for the whole restaurant. Their mixed drinks are good and not watered down. read more
