ALWAYS love this place. Super casual restaurant and sports bar with killer seafood. I love the mini lobster tails and even their lobster cheesesteak. But my favorite, by far, are their lobster rolls. I order it with a full bed of the arugula (instead of the small side it comes with). Probably the best lobster rolls in Philly next to Lukes.

Fast service this wasy second time here and I still love it. Great food great people and I love the decor. The guy even remembered my order from the first time I was there. Places like this make me miss loving in this wonderful city!
(5)Caitlin C.
Everything they have is super yummy! My personal faves are mussels in white sauce (which has huge chunks of garlic), the mixed crab fries (half regular crab fries with cheese dipping sauce and half sweet potato fries with a syrup sauce), and crab legs. But truthfully, everything I've ever eaten from here was delish. Pizza, roast beef sandwich, buffalo chicken fingers, everything is yummy. They have a great selection of drinks too. Nothing like a nice cold beer and crab fries.
(5)Mike D.
The original is definitely the best place to go. The food is the same and the place is crowded but not like the boulevard. Had many great family nights here, a good place to kick back and order 5 appetizers and 3 crab fries and dig in with the fam.
(3)Craig N.
Don't expect much if you go here and you won't be disappointed. The place is simple....beer, fries and crabs. Nothing about that is innovative or cutting edge. Mussels are really good too. It's fries w/ Old Bay Seasoning and cheese It is what it is.....
(3)Robyn H.
A great place to go and get greasy, and eat with reckless abandon!!!!!!! LOL I love their crab fries, snow crab legs, chicken fingers and shrimp!! Getting hungry just thinking about it! lol Great appetizers too!

(5)Derek Z.
Excellent mussels and crab fries. Friendly service. Decent prices. We recommend it!
(5)Cccc B.
Delicious mussels and crab fries. They are known for their seafood. The sandwiches and salads are pretty horrible. Nice place to go for a beer during the game.
(4)Michael S.
Was voted 2nd or 3rd best sports bar in the country. this makes sense to me. A must eat at if in Philly. Go with what you heard - no need for me to repeat it all here.
(5)Rita G.
this is the original location...whoo hoo....however, this location is still majorly over priced and the food itself is only mediocre. Obviously, they're known best for their crab fries, but half the time they come out either over seasoned or under seasoned. you're lucky if they come out piping hot....more like lukewarm. I would honestly say that the only time the food is good is when you're drunk and hungry.
(2)Michelle C.
Thief! Perv! Creep!! The owner definitely deserves to lose his shirt and All his patrons Stealing from his employees probably for the past decade. Imposing a "Pete's Tax" and paying servers a flat shift rate.... Bullshit I'll never step foot in a C&P again. I don't care if I'm starving and dying of thrust on boardwalk, in Mayfair or any where I hope all his employees, past and present get their money. Effed Up what he did and I'm glad someone had the balls to speak up!!!! We commend You

I really just wanted some crab fries, so I called ahead to see what their wait was. They said no wait, so I figured I'd just stop by with my hubby and 2 young kids to get some. Not only was I ignored by waiters whose attention I was trying to get, but I could not find a host. When I finally did speak to a waiter to ask if I could just seat myself at an empty table (there were a few), he told me there was a host. When the host strolled in from outside, he told us there was a ten minute wait. WHAAAT?!!!! Oh well, we left. No crab fries today. :(
(1)Mike T.
I loved everything about this place. We ordered a bunch of stuff at the bar to share and it was all a hit. Our favorites were the crab fries, crab legs, crab cakes, and poppers. Great bar food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere.
(5)Larry N.
Best bar in NE philly. . So many beer choices. . Food is awesome. . And atmosphere is the best
(5)Mike W.
Wings and beer....The original is the best....Robbins Ave is the best! The service is supreme.
(4)Carrie F.
Love the crab legs.
(4)Von B.
Holy mother of fried salt. The famous fries are the saltiest thing I've ever eaten, bar none. Otherwise, it's bar food. Service is attentive and professional (at least it was for lunch). No complaints except the beyond-salty fries. They tasted good and I ate a lot of them, I just felt like I was going to die afterward. That kind of salty.
(3)Chris C.
I was here for about 2.5 hours. Ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich, it was tiny on a huge roll, I was there with 10-12 people. I ran a tab and bought two beers for 2 friends as well as my 4-5 vodka tonics. when the tab came it was 80 bucks ( that seemed really high)! I added 20 for a tip (not sure why?). Reviewed my statement a few days later and found the $100 charge as well as a second $56.00 charge! Don't ever run a tab here. The atmosphere is cool, food is so-so to bad and you obviously can't trust them to run a tab.
(2)Jose R.
Ok, I'm a regular at this place. I frequent going here with my wife at least every other week. We have gone to other C&P throughout the city but this is by far our favorite. The staff here is great. The guys working the bar make you feel like a regular and are on top of your needs. Food is great. Hands down haven't had a bad experience with either the food or the staff here. We always get the mussels white and crab fries to start. Depending if it's a "snow day" ( all you can eat crab legs $35 per ) or a quick stop in we tend to stick to the same food. The tailgate burger, the little neck clams, crab bisque, etc. Everything on this menu comes out quick, hot, and delicious. The staff pays attention to you as you eat and are quick when it comes to getting you a refill, getting napkins, or just checking to make sure your happy. Beer selection here is great. Prices are reasonable. The only downfall with coming here is the seating. We were once seated next to the women's bathroom. Yea, that sucked. Hopefully this place gets the seating arrangements worked out a little better because it is a bit cramped at time. All in all its a great spot to go to. Quick service, great staff, and great food will have me coming back here.

Of course when we have a long layover in Philly we are going to hit this place up. I get the cheesesteak and crab fries. Possibly some booze as well :) The servers are grumpy old Philly men that have a permanent frown and I highly enjoy watching them mill about. It's not too big. They have plenty of TV's to watch whatever game is on. I'll be back!
(4)Vincent R.
Great place to watch sports game. I come here just for their crab fries! It's the best fries to eat while enjoying the game! Also I usually share mussels with my friends cus they give you a lot. Service here is great. They always come by and check on you and see how everything is. The atmosphere is great with philly fans enjoying the same sport games as you. Definitely recommend coming here!
(4)D'elve J.
Hit or miss with this place. First time was a charm--mussels In red sauce was "finger licking" good however...since then, the quality is horrible. The mussels are way over cooked (to the point they taste burnt and have ans deep orange tint to them) sauce is definitely not the same. The calamari---cold, stale tasting and half breaded. Ugh--now where am I gonna go for mussels. -meh.
(2)Stephen G.
Always great to go back to the original and see that where it all started still measures up.. Reasonable prices, cold beer and some great hard shell crabs! Sorry I was not hungry enough to order the mussels as well but there is always next time. I recommend this to anyone wanting local flavor and good food.
(4)Pichoudam P.
I had a lobster cheesesteak from here. It was actually pretty good! Pretty pricey too. Who would have thought lobster and cheesesteaks go together.
(4)Ratha M.
This is the absolute best chickie and Pete's by far and they are the original! I've been to the south Philly location and Roosevelt Blvd location as well but this one right here has the best service and amazing food. We live near the south Philly location but often drive up this way (due to service). The servers and bartenders are very accommodating and even knows where we want to sit. Since we order so much food for a group of 3 adult and 1 child....the server would often give us the biggest table. A must try is the baby lobster tail...they are cooked to perfection and oh so scrumptious! We would order 3 orders of those since no one wants to share! Definitely order the clams in white sauce and the hot shrimp in spicy garlic sauce. Why am I craving these as I'm writing this review?!!! All of the yummy garlic sauces are perfect for bread dipping. The clams casino and crab legs are amazing too. Everything that I've mention....i would love as my last meal on Earth! That is no lie!
(5)Chanthorn H.
I like this location the best out of all the other chickies. FIrst, because they are the original and second, because the wait time isn't as long as the others on a busy night. Sure, the other ones are bigger and is more hyped up, but I'm here for the food. When I'm in the mood for some fatty extra delicious seafood, this is one of the spots I think about. My go to favorites are: Mussels with red sauce - So Good! My wife doesn't really eat mussels, so I get to be a hog and eat the whole thing to myself. If she did eat it, I'd probably have to order a second batch. Crab legs - What do they use as a sauce?!?!?! It's so delicious. I like to get some bread and dip it in that buttery goodness. Chickies Cheese fries - it's a must when you come to a chickies. No need to really explain why on here. Just get it! There are other things I have tried too, but the above three are a must! Overall: I haven't been back in a long time, but since I'm writing this, I'm craving it now, so maybe this weekend? I can't wait to dig into more seafood!
(4)Steve B.
The best fries in Philly! Always has been consistent in there service and food at all the locations that I've been to. Highly recommended!
(4)Dennis B.
I still go back to the original. It is more quaint then the others. The food is good depending what you like. The service is always good. This is not a 5 star restaurant ........this is a corner bar with good food. I always go with friends to change it up and it never disappoints. The upstairs is a great place to get away..........I got to know some of the staff since I've been going and they are a bunch if good people........parking is never a problem.
(4)Matthew W.
This is the best Chickie's & Pete's around and it is the original. I've been to the one near the stadium but I like this one far better. The staff here makes you feel at home, where at the others I just feel like another number. They stick to the original menu here so it is smaller than the rest but it is still very good. I recommend the cheesesteak and crab fries. They have the best fries around. Even PJs famous fries don't compare to these. They have a full bar as well. If you're going into the city stop here for food first and you won't regret it!
(5)Heather S.
First time at the original location. Enjoyed crab fries (excellent) and buffalo cutlets (yummy!) for a 12 noon lunch date with a friend! Good service, nice place. I just wish I knew how pricey they'd be before heading there. $8 for the buffalo cutlets? Yikes. Gal pal and I split the crab fries. That cheese was just heavenly. The order of crab fries is enough for three people! I really liked the size/shape of them. They were crinkle cut fries, but not thick like you'd find in your freezer section. I like my fries soggy-ish, so it was nice having a mix of crunchy and some soggy. But oh, that cheese. I think if you're here at night or during a sporting event, expect it to be loud and crowded. But if you wanna check out the place and the food, come here on a weekday for lunch.
(4)Gina M.
Original location = Tiniest location of them all However, the food is just as good and the location is very convenient. They don't have the biggest menu but trust me, you cannot go wrong with anything! The mussles and cheesesteak nachos are incredible. Only problem, it is loud and extremely small. If you are okay with that, then you'll love it. Like I always say, you have to try Chickie's and Pete's. You just do!
(3)Vyreak S.
The seafood selection are good. Wish the clams could be bigger for a clam lover guy like me.
(4)Louiaw B.
We have been going to the Robbins Ave location for over 30 yrs. The food was always terrific. However, since they have expanded to many places the food is sub-par. No taste in the mussel red sauce. At 7:00 on a Saturday night we should have wondered why the place was empty. We asked many people who used to be avid fans of their food and the answer was the same. Oh well, another one bites the dust
(2)Megan L.
Love the original location! Always the same, friendly staff, and the food is a bit better than the other locations. I like everything on the menu, but my favorites are red mussels, hot shrimp, calamari, and of course crab fries. I'm always underwhelmed by their beer list.
(5)Jessica S.
My best friend lives in Philly and chose Chickie's & Pete's for lunch for us during my short visit to say hi. It's very simple: seafood, burgers, salads, and beer. A must-get are their crab fries, which are french fries sprinkled with crab/fish seasoning. We got the mixed sweet potato fries and regular potato fries and were not disappointed! The chowder I got was very, very good but only had one lonely shrimp in it. At least the flavors were good and it was served with a huge loaf of italian bread! I got a burger, too, which was pretty awful... small, dry, and no pizzazz whatsoever. Another reviewer put it best: Don't expect much if you go here and you won't be disappointed.
(3)Mallory D.
Of all the C&P locations, this is by far the best. Probably because it is the original. Of course, the crab fries are a must if you are visiting here. The cheese on the side is delicious & freshly made. I also love their sandwiches, seafood, and beer towers. They tend to bring the food out in weird times and not altogether which is strange, but that is my only "complaint." Great spot!
(4)Faye B.
This is my favorite of all of the Chickie's & Pete's locations. It is the original one, and has a much smaller, cozier, neighborhood bar feel than the one in south philly or on the blvd. The food is great, and the menu is well known. Not a huge menu, but it's a great menu becuase everything on there they do right. LOVE the hot shrimp, mussels, crab legs, all served in a bowl with delicious sauce and fresh bread to dip in the sauce. Of course the famous crab fries can't be missed. Yummmm. Drinks are average, what you'd expect anywhere, average priced. The upstairs bar is without a doubt my favorite. Thurday - Saturday Rob and Jeff run the show and they are the best bartenders in the world. Love them!
(5)Li L.
Can't believe this is the original Chickie's & Pete's. I've been to the one in South Philly, and Parx and it was much better at those other locations. Ordered the "famous" crab fries & the cheese was watered down. We also had mussels and they didn't give us bread that usually comes with it. Such a shame if the original Chickie's are doing poor like this. The dining area wasn't even busy on a weekend. Seems more like a neighborhood bar because most of the customers are at the bar area for beers.
(2)Esther F.
I was first introduced to Chickie's and Pete's over the summer by some relatives, who told me that I must have the crabfries. Of course I became addicted. A short time after that, we moved quite literally two doors down, and it's always a favorite when we don't feel like cooking. I love their wings, as well as the cheesesteak and cheesesteak nachos. Our service is always great, and the food is always hot and fresh and consistent. I've heard their pizza is pretty damn good too, so I am going to try that pretty soon. Bottom line, if you're looking for a good place to get together with some friends, share a couple baskets of crabfries and some beer, you're in the right place!
(5)Jim S.
Place sucks !! Overpriced everything. I remember this place when it was the only Chickie's & Pete's around, a nice, quiet corner pub. Suddenly, and for what ever reason, it became "all that." Prices went off the charts. No beer is worth the price they charge. Now they have additional locations. No doubt ! It's because they are making so much money.
(1)R G.
Best spot to have a few drinks and of course, crab fries, lobster pie and mussels! Great atmosphere every time you go!
(5)Dan K.
Was expecting a much better meal at this well known eatery. We had the chicken Italian and some wings. Wings were very good but the chicken Italian was chicken fingers from a bag on a roll with was suppose to be provolone but was a creamy white American that wasn't very good. Service was great which encouraged me to go from 2 to 3 stars. Probably won't go back.
(3)Brian P.
I agree with Jim S on this place , the staff also tries to shuffle you out the door before your before your done eating , sorry Pete every time I see you I tell you it's gotta change , but I guess you can't see past the green
(1)Noise J.
Ok so Chickie's... This location is the original bar that started it all. I Think the crab fries taste much better at this locale then say down the ballpark. This is nothing special in terms of its charm or atmosphere because it is just a small neighborhood tavern with its regulars at the helm. If you are from jersey and want to come to chickies go to the one in south Philly. I remember driving down to this place when we were in high school and getting crab fries for ourselves and everyone back at the keg down penny pack. Good memories and great fries... Hate how they sacrificed quality for quantity of locations. I got a chicken sandwhich down at citizens bank park from them and it was like a docksider with a piece of cheese on it on a mediocre bun. The crab fries are also way to salty down at the stadium. The boulevard location in northeast philly is nice and they seem to have the best food all around. Love their dungeness crab and their mussels red with bread. Their beer is beer.
(3)Mike M.
I don't know how the other people on here were brainwashed, but this place sucks. The original is still a fairly cool little corner bar, but the one on the Blvd and the one downtown are absolutely wretched institutions. The food, with the exception of the crab fries, (which are pretty good, although they are just fries with Old Bay and melted cheese, not exactly patent worthy, contrary to what Pete thinks), is not good. There are never drink specials, and there is definitely an elevated level of douchebaggery.
(1)Jen R.
The crab fries and cheese make this place. Its a great environment to watch a game and have things to munch on. Don't expect to have a full fancy meal. I think their crab legs are waaay over priced. The rest of the food is ok but not great. You haven't lived until you've tried the crab fries :)
(3)Jessica H.
so I always hear about the Chickie's and Pete's crab fries, and I'm driving down the Blvd the other day and see them, so I decide to pull off and give them a try. I got the chicken parm sandwhich, which wasn't bad, and the crab fries, which are the most over-hyped thing in this city. There was nothing special at all about them, I've had much better french fries out of my oven, and just throwing some old bay over crinkle fries does not a legend make...
(2)Alex M.
I have only one regret from moving into the city - no more Chickie & Pete's!!! I was a frequent patron of the NE Philly location - the place is huge yet its almost impossible to not have to wait. There's good reasons for the wait - everything seafood-related on the menu. Do not go to C&Ps for a chicken parm or pizza. Go for the Alaskan Crab Legs and crab fries. Honestly, the fries and accompanying cheese sauce are the best fucking fries you'll ever have. The crabs wont let you down either, smothered in spicey garlic sauce. Wow. Bring a bib! Dont forget the mussels either. Get a couple of pitchers of beer and you'll have yourself a wonderful evening in front of massive wall to wall screens playing local philly sports while screaming dudes with no teeth add to the ambience. Two days later your hands will still smell of crabs. You wont mind because each time you smell them you will be taken back to the delicious land of crabs and fries. If you're in the mingling mood, def check out the South Philly location. Hordes of hot italian south philly chicks pop their gum and look sexy here. just have your rap ready, they're a handful.
(5)Michael L.
i grew up in wissioming few blocks away was never there till a few yrs back a nice plca much smaller than the blvd and packer location its good and warm and friendly septa accesable route 66 Bus good beer Burger and chicken wings
(3)Michele R.
Okay I have to admit I have yet to go here (and since I live in SF it may not be soon), however, I felt compelled to write a review (or pass along this information) since I saw this restaurant talked about on the Oprah show! Apparently it is Jon Bon Jovi's favourite place and I will be craving those crab fries until I can taste them (and then I am sure I will be dreaming about them every night!)
(5)Melmoth K.
I've been to five Chickie's and this is clearly the best one. The atmosphere is great, and either the atmosphere makes the food seem better, or the food is actually better than at the other locations. The moules white were the best we've had in a long time, and Joel hooked us up with some crunchy bread for soaking up the brothy goodness, which we really appreciated. Next time we need moules frites we know where to go!
