    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Cheese Fries and 10pc. Dave's Bites Hot
    Montez F.

    Dave's Hot Chicken - Downtown Philadelphia Location I'm in Philadelphia for work this week, and every time I visit, Dave's Hot Chicken is a must. This was my first time at the downtown location, and it definitely did not disappoint. I placed my order through the app to earn rewards, then walked in to dine. The restaurant was pretty busy, but I found a seat and waited about 15-20 minutes for my order. One thing I always appreciate about Dave's locations is the vibrant artwork on the walls--this one had that same signature style I've seen at other spots. A nice touch is the TV screen that displays orders as they're ready, so there's no need to keep checking at the counter. Once my order was up, I grabbed it, picked up some condiments, and sat back down to enjoy. The food was, as always, amazing. I stuck with my usual--Extra Hot--though one of these days I'll gather the courage to try the Reaper . Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    So happy to finally have a Dave's Hot Chicken open near where I live! I went on the Grand Opening date and there was a bit of a wait to order (about 15 minutes). The staff was very friendly and expressed great hospitality. The food didn't take long to arrive as my buzzer went off about 5 minutes after I sat down at a table. The food came out fresh and hot (both temperature and spiciness). They provided extra Dave's sauce, honey, ketchup, cutlery, and extra pickles on the side. I got the Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries for $14.99 and think that is the best bang for your buck out of the whole menu! The chicken had a strong paprika flavor, the chicken was juicy, and buns were soft and buttery! The chicken was huge and only half the chicken could be held by the buns! The vanilla milkshake topped with Oreos was sweet with a good milkshake consistency that is not too thick so that it is still drinkable! The staff did come around asking how everyone was doing so I appreciate the hospitality. The store was clean with great decor, emitting Philly vibes. This will be my go-to fast food joint in Center City and will definitely come back here to work my way up to the reaper spice level!

I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right! I'll be returning to Middle Child in the not too distant future!

    The legendary best sandwich in Philadelphia! Having it first thing in the morning was pure bliss…read more The Hershel: Recommended by the staff. The corned beef was an enticing vibrant pink, tender and juicy, with a perfectly balanced and pure saltiness that accentuated the beef's natural flavor. The scrambled eggs were incredibly smooth and creamy, complemented by the rich, melted cooper sharp cheese. The rye was toasted with butter, giving it a thin, crispy crust and a soft interior--a bit softer than Hershel's East Side Deli's, fragrant but not greasy. Every part was delicious, and the combination was harmonious and delightful. The portion of ingredients was very generous, definitely worth the $14.50 price. The service was a little slow, but the moment you tasted it, you would forgive everything!

    I recently had a couple of great lunches here. I found parking along Wolf Street with no problem…read more The inside was clean and the staff was friendly. They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

    I placed an order online for pickup from Nipotina. I ordered The Eye(Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp…read moreAmerican, fried onions, salt, pepper, ketchup, and mayo) for $15. This was one of the best cheesesteaks that I have had in awhile. I was pleasantly surprised and will order from here again.

My other favorite is getting whatever special they have going on - it almost never disappoints. This time around I got the Turkey Hoagie, it was delightful. Bummer that my fried sprouts were basically black and way too oily. I threw them out. The Mac was okay. Hoagie made up for it though! It's a cute shop best for takeout orders. The people working there have always been nice. Everything is made in house with love. A little pricey, but overall very tasty and fresh.

As a meat eating mammal, I cannot resist anything "whole pig". The whole pig banh mi features carrot, cabbage, cucumber, jalapeño, something called XO sauce, and of course that whole pig. This is far from the traditional banh mi, not so much due to the meat choice but the fact that the vegetables take a back seat. This is also a soft hoagie style bread instead of the crusty French bread that usually houses a banh mi. Still an enjoyable sandwich nonetheless. To my surprise, the fried potatoes were the highlight of this meal. Tender crispy fried potatoes are simply irresistible. Stockyard definitely has a lot going for it. Worth a try if you are in the area !
