Munchies serves no frills fast American foods at an affordable price! It is rare to find places that sell hearty sandwiches under $10 anymore. The ambience is retro and old school, and has its charm. Service was friendly and courteous. Will definitely come again as this is only a quick walk from the Penn hospital and is a step up from the food there. read more

Truly amazing! A local staple that serves fantastic food. From breakfast, to drink options, and especially sandwiches - Munchie's is a go-to. Try the 'New Yorker,' you won't be disappointed. The amazing food coupled with the lovely and efficient staff cannot be beat. That and the reasonable prices leave Munchie's a true place in my heart. read more

Service was great, employees are nice and food was brought out to the table. For $8, the meal was decent and filling enough. Indoors reminds me of a corner store/deli feel with seating. Very casual. read more

I visited Munchie's Cafe with a few co-workers to get some lunch. Munchie's is nothing out of the ordinary, but is a lunch spot where you order at a counter. They have dozens of options at Munchie's that are available for order - they are listed on the overhead menus. Once you order, you get a slip and pay at the front. Towards the front they have a number of cookies and candies at the checkout and a TV, too. When checking out, it took a little while to get my food, but after a little bit of a wait, it came out. I got the portobello mushroom panini, which was a pressed sandwich of portobello mushrooms mozzarella and pesto. There is not a ton of seating inside Munchie's. Therefore, we ate the sandwiches in Independence Square Park and the sandwich was nicely wrapped and still warm by then. Altogether, Munchie's Cafe is nothing spectacular, but it is a decent lunch spot in Philadelphia. read more

They are quick, the food was as ordered and excellent. I had a California sandwich - actually twice on the same day because the first one was good, along with some juice. I'd recommend them. They were friendly and courteous. They are right around the corner from the passport agency, in case you are waiting for a passport. read more

Just ordered an Italian hogie to go and walked back to work. Hogie was $10.75 which is on the high side and this thing is woefully lacking ingredients. I also ordered onions which are missing. Was there a lettuce shortage? What gives. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Stopped by here for a quick meal. Got a crispy chicken caesar wrap, super yummy. We also got a smoothie, very refreshing. The service was quick and attentive. Cute place! read more

This is a pretty good eatery. (I've never had any issues with what I've gotten. I've liked the different sandwiches I've had & enjoyed the coffee, which is self serve. I like that too.) Reason for the two stars is thatpicture I happened to spot (unexpectedly) mainly cause it's above the booth I was seated at. I'm Jewish so it offends me. (My parents -- both of them -- were MIGRANTS from Germany.) YEAH read more

I stopped here for a quick breakfast bite. The place has a nice menu, and is very clean. It is similar to a convienience store where they have chips, cookies, and a freezer full of assorted ice cold drinks. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. It did not take me long to get my food. It was huge and tasty. My only complaint was that there was not a lot of bacon on the sandwich. The staff there was very friendly and efficient. They also have a lunch menu that I hear is good. I may hav to check that out as well. Definitely a pace to check out if you do not have a lot of time to eat. read more

Food is so mid. I've tried breakfast and lunch here. They skimp on everything. I got a veggie omelette and the egg was so thin it was see through. They definitely only use ONE egg to make an omelette which is ridiculous. Everything seems like you're getting less than what you're supposed to get. I only go here because it's literally nothing else to eat around here and I'm at work. Sandwiches taste like bread lettuce tomato no meat because they skimp on everything. read more

Much better cheesesteak than Pat's. Would definitely come back to try more of what they have to offer. It was very busy but they kept everything moving! read more

I love this place so bad lol. Great food selections! I get the salmon burger, pancakes and green smoothie all the time. 10/10 recommend.

I ordered 3 cheesesteaks on Sept. 5. Tasted horrible. Gristle and bone pieces in all of the sandwiches. Each of us ate only half. I spoke with the manager the next day who apologized and said he would notify the company where the meat is purchased. He offered no compensation and said I should have called the same day. This was a $52 order (including fries, onion rings and drink). Needless to say Munchies's is no longer an option for any meal. read more

This place has been wonderful throughout my years working nearby and especially when I had gone through childbirth and needed some good comfort food. I was delivering my baby at Penn and after that I was so over the hospital food even though it's just for energy and all. For breakfast, we got the egg and bacon sandwich on a croissant, breakfast platter, and hot coffee (la Colombe!). The sandwich was super tasty and comforting! The platter had fluffy eggs, sausage, and hella good potatoes. They pack ketchup and hot sauce for you and any other condiments you need. Calling ahead of time for your order is a good idea. They are so clutch. I cannot wait to go back to work and come back For lunch. They have great smoothies and hoagie sandwiches! read more

Munchie's Café was recommended to me by the phlebotomist who drew my blood for pre-op testing at Penn Med last week. I asked for a place to have a quick breakfast after fasting since midnight. She advised that Munchie's was popular with the staff because of a broad menu and reasonable prices. As she had just been expert in hitting an artery on the first attempt, I figured she'd be accurate on food choices as well. This long/deep shop sits just off the southeast corner of 7th and Chestnut. Ordering is done at the counter, and delivered to the table. I really felt the need for coffee stronger than for sustenance, so I ordered a breakfast wrap and large java. I got to pour the joe myself at the coffee service table, and sipped while waiting for the food. The drink was decent industrial strength drip that lost its joy of living as it cooled. Became more bitter the longer it sat. The wrap of bacon, egg and cheese in wheat, was just okay. The bacon was unrecognizable, and had a odd taste. Perhaps, it was beef or turkey bacon without designation. So, while the grub served to abate my caffeine and hunger gnawings, it was not something I would return for. It was average at best, although the prices were about right for what was provided. There are far superior places in the neighborhood to bring mind, body and soul up to speed. read more

This spot has almost everything you need for breakfast, lunch and snacks that you can think of. I normally go for lunch when I'm at work and get their paninis. The turkey breast one is my favorite that has Swiss cheese, bacon, tomatoes, roasted peppers and Russian dressing read more

Was in the area on an early Saturday morning and I was surprised by how few options there were for a cheap, quick meal--this place is perfect for just that. i quickly found this place and it was the answer to my anti-brunch Saturday morning hunger. This place is a walk-up style cafe and be sure to check out the wide, colorful menu -- you can't miss it! It is colorful and vibrant, just like this city. I went with the Western Omelette; at first, I thought I was getting just an omelette for the price listed, but the huge surprise came when I was told that it also comes with a side of my choice-- and toast! For $5, you definitely are getting the most bang for your buck -- and a pretty filling meal. I can't say I was overall impressed with the meal -- the omelette was pretty plain and came with a slice of pepper, tomato, and a slice of ham. The hash brown was on the hard side and wasn't that great, and toast is just toast, but I wish they offered some spread. The service was really odd -- the woman (whom I assume is the owner) had a complete 180, from being cold, to extremely hospitable, from bringing me my food and a bottle of ketchup, to offering to throw my trash for me. Really weird, but the food was average, but sufficient enough for a quick meal. read more

The guy that answers the phone has really terrible phone manners. Here's the thing. If you don't want to offer delivery service, then don't. But dont cuss on the phone, not once, but twice (first because i asked for delivery, second cuz i asked for the pesto pizza). I SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE AS YOU!! So yes, even if you mumble in your native language, i heard it loud and clear. I would've cancelled the whole order if i wasnt also ordering for my coworkers. They have a great selection to order from, whether it's breakfast, paninis, pizza, appetizers and even smoothies. But the service is just awful. read more

I am beyond surprised that I've never reviewed munchies. It is my go to spot when I didn't bring lunch to work and don't necessarily have a "taste" for anything. Their menu is huge and anything you order will be great. I love that whether you're trying to eat healthy or want something super indulgent Munchies has something that will hit the spot. They have all day breakfast, and although I haven't had it in a long time, I remember it being so delicious. Some of my favorites from their menu are their BLAT, turkey cranberry apple melt, and their salads, specifically their Greek salad. I love the pita chips they serve on the side when you order a sandwich and eat in. Even when I get my order to go I ask them to do a small bag of them for a small fee. It does get super busy so if you're going at prime lunch time I would expect a little bit of a wait, but the staff does it's best to keep moving. read more

Reasonable prices and a great menu, munchies cafe is a welcome addition to the lunch offerings of the area. I don't know what this little space used to be, but now it's a nice lunch place which offers a full deli set and more. Especially good are the wingdings, breaded chicken wings. You can tell these are popular because they lowered the amount if them you get per order! The sandwiches are okay for the price, and the salads are a great size. The only problem is breakfast. Offerings are expensive compared to other nearby place and the food doesn't taste good. All in all, check this out for a cheap lunch! read more

Munchies is great for a cheap meal. The menu is huge as I find myself gazing at the big board for any specialties hoagies I want to try. This is a good spot for breakfast and lunch sandwiches/hoagies. The cheesesteak is good and the roast pork is ok (although the broccoli rabe can be overcooked). However, every sandwich is above average and there is something on the menu for everyone whether you are vegetarian, vegan, etc. The sides are not that good but I suggest you to just to get a sandwich here. read more

We have ate here multiple times over the last few years. I've come to the conclusion that it's either hit or miss. We decided to give it another chance and ordered take out for lunch. The guy who runs the register always seems annoyed and the one worker always seems to have an attitude. We ordered a breakfast wrap, chicken cheesesteaks, fries, and the cranberry turkey sandwich. The breakfast wrap was incorrectly made on a croissant at first. When we complained that it was supposed to be a wrap, they did agree to remake it into a wrap. But, the wrap was actually pathetic. There was hardly any substance to the wrap. The cranberry turkey sandwiches were decent and the chicken cheesesteaks were subpar. The fries look like the crinkle cut fries available in the frozen section at the grocery store. Overall, the customer service is questionable, the food is sub-par, but the food is fast and cheap. I don't think I would recommend this place, unless you were looking for something quick and cheap. But, just be ready for the possibility of disappointment. They really deserve 2.5 stars. read more

Just left Munchies. I ordered a pizza steak that was DRY as the Sahara Desert. I asked for a side of marinara sauce . Why pay 8.00 for something that is not enjoyable? RIGHT!!! Attached is the cup that they gave me for a WHOLE cheese steak. Lets start by assuming your food will come out as requested. One would HOPE, if the establishment needs to provide a CONDIMENT that should be on there anyway, there wouldn't be a charge!!! NOT!!!! The marinara was ice-cold and I measured it when I got to work it was BARLEY 2 teaspoons for a WHOLE cheese steak!!!!!!! Thoroughly disappointed!!!!!! I will no longer recommend them for breakfast or lunch on PRINCIPLE alone!!!!!!! read more

I stopped by here for lunch one day. It looks like a deli. You order your food and pay for it at the counter, and you can either eat in and they'll bring it to you or take it to go. I really like their menu, but it looks really crowded. It's a chalkboard with everything on there. Service was great, and fast. I ordered a BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato) sandwich. It came with a pickle and homemade triangle chips. I like the concept, but the way that they had prepared it was not that great. They had way too much bacon on it. It should have been called B with a side of LAT. Their bacon is thin to begin with, but they piled on the bacon to the point where it overpowered everything. So the sandwich was really salty. The only other thing I could taste were the avocados. The one last thing I have to complain about was the lettuce. They really just put one slice of lettuce on there. It was like they peeled it off of the head of lettuce and placed it. It wasn't cut up or anything (which I wouldn't have minded). The fact that there was one slice really bothered me. It seems like it's pretty popular here for lunch because 20 minutes after I came in, it got really busy. People were standing by the entrance to wait for their orders. At one point, there wasn't enough room to get out of the place. I'll probably have to come back one day and give it a second chance. I'll have to try something new next time. For the price, It was okay. They are relatively cheap here. But if it's because they skimp on ingredients, I would rather go somewhere else and spend more money.. SKIP; BLAT sandwich read more

There are only about a million places to have lunch within walking distance of this place. I find it middle-of-the-road in all respects. Variety, quality, quantity, price, service and cleanliness are all OK. I once had a cheese steak here that was really excellent but that was an exception. Their location is often good for me so I've stopped in fairly often. I'll give them three stars but also say that if you walk three minutes into Old City proper you have many better choices. read more

Fresh, affordable food. My family of 4 ate here while exploring the historic district on vacation. Great service. Very clean. A good varied menu. If I lived in Philly, I'd become a regular. read more

This place is just a few mins away from the office. The large menu gives plenty of options and one of the most affordable places to eat thats good quality in this area. Ive tried their breakfast sandwich which was satisfying, sweet potato fries are good and the order is large enough to share, i recently ordered the chicken parm sandwich which was delicious. I ate half since it was a large portion. I reheated the other half the next day and it was still just as good. read more

Hoagie's not really worth $7. The place is just regular, ok-ish. Solid 3/5. Might try hot sandwich, which could be better, but for now it's just an ok place to go when no other options in that price range. read more

A good place to grab lunch. Munchie's has a wide variety of offerings of different sandwiches, flatbreads, wraps and more. It's affordable, fast and pretty good. The only problem is there's very limited seating available. Carry-out is an option, but if you want to eat there, be prepared to wait or share a table with a stranger. read more

This place was seriously the only breakfast place that seemed to be open on a Monday morning! Then again it was pretty early. However! The breakfast food definitely hit the spot. I ordered a Western omelet and hash browns. The hash browns were really perfect. I mean soft yet crunchy, not burnt or overly crispy. This place seems like a whatever, mediocre/average place to grab food but I think it's worth checking out to satisfy any breakfast needs. It definitely satisfied mine! I also ordered a coffee. It was affordable, quick, and portions were generous. Go if you're in the area! read more

They make a crazy-good pastrami sandwich. I'd highly recommend you get it hot. You get the salty from the pastrami, the sweet from the cole slaw, and the spicy from the mustard. Plus they're fast and the prices are great. Excellent choice for lunch. read more

This place is disgusting. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I got the roast pork sandwich, which was one of the specialties. The pork tasted like it was leftover from a week prior. They also put little pieces of soggy broccoli in it, which was so incompatible and gross. The random combination of old pork and soggy broccoli just furthered my perception that it was a leftover hodge podge of stuff they threw together. Do not go here to get more than a soda! read more

We stopped in here on our way back to our hotel from visiting the Liberty Bell. The menu was BIG and it took some time to decide what we wanted! I got a BLT, B got the American sandwich (turkey, ham, bacon and cheese). B wanted potato salad, but they were out, so we both added bags of chips (BBQ for me, sour cream and onion for B). Bonus points for bottled AND fountain soda, I love me a good fountain soda! My BLT was great, crispy bacon and not too much mayo. B said his sandwich was good, too, but I think I won the order battle! Both were served with veggie chips (B ate mine, said they were good) and a pickle. The prices were super reasonable in my opinion (my BLT was only $5), but locals who've reviewed here seem to think it's pricey? Maybe Boston is just so expensive it's warped my sense of affordable! Super clean and really friendly staff, too. read more
