Surprisingly good! My chicken salad was ... good! My wife's cheese steak was .... good! A good value downtown within walking distance of our hotel. We like. I liked it better than (no, don't say it!) Jones right nearby. It is definitely NOT fancy, but when you just want a fast sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda, this'll do it for you.

This place is good for a quick, inexpensive breakfast in Philly. They have healthier options as well, which I appreciated. They even let me switch out the cheese and get turkey sausage instead of regular sausage. The guy at the register even brought my food to me. I like it!

Great Roast Beef and Cheese. Good Chicken Cheese Steak too.

I've never had anything here I didn't enjoy but they often put cheese on things when I ask for none and the wait is almost always really long if you don't order ahead.

Came in for a quick breakfast sandwich, they have a $5 card minimum but let me slide with a $3 tab, always appreciate that. The service was kind of slow, and not the friendliest but the food was pretty good for what it was.

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.

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!

At first, I thought, well, why do people bother with Old Nelson? It seemed cheaper, to have a less eclectic variety, but more convenient... totally tolerable... Not so much, it turned out. The wait time is absurd, especially when I placed by wrap order after a caesar salad and 15 minutes went by between my (albeit large, but predominately lunch meat-dominated) wrap's arrival and the salad. Oh! and between them came a reportedly pretty bland burger. Personally, I wouldn't bother the wager that ordering a burger at such a place would cost. But I hoped this was a chill alternative to Old Nelson, which is packed and pricey. A little too chill perhaps? Even at that, the one staff member who interacted most with customers seemed not to have much concern for the quality of his service or attitude. Some sort of bread chips accompanied my wrap. They were bad. Overall, just lackluster. I would maybe try their breakfast options (apparently served all day), because it's hard to make an Awful egg sandwich.

Stumbled across this place while looking for a place to eat lunch while on jury duty. Fast to the table service (glad a booth was open) it was cheap and tasted good. Nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about! Ordered panini #9 - motz, roasted red pepper & pesto. Side of sweet potato fries only cause they said nothing came with the sandwich- but stuff did. And the stuff that did? - weird burnt fried triangle thingies that were gross (and a pickle. No hate against the pickle).

Great place for breakfast and lunch. They have so many different items to choose from. Price is fair for what you get. Place is very busy around the lunch hour 12-1pm. But the staff gets the orders out very quick. You will be happy you stopped.

Menu is huge and a little overwhelming with its diversity. Service was a little slow but the food was good. I had a breakfast sandwich for lunch which was tasty and warm - what more could you ask for?

Munchie's Cafe has quite a long menu. A variety of breakfast and lunch options, La Colombe coffee, and their deli carries Boar's Head meats. So far I can only attest for their breakfast sandwiches, which I like because they actually cook the eggs on the grill and not in a microwave. They also make omelettes, pancakes and french toast. They have a few booths for seating and local alternative papers on hand for reading.

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.

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

Great grab and go place for breakfast and lunch. I usually like grabbing the specials because it's always a variety that I wouldn't normally get but always turns out being yummy. The smoothies are also very well blended and fresh.

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!

I was excited to find this place b/c my office moved to 8th & Walnut, and there aren't a lot ofgood-quality, cheaper dining options in the general vicinity (at least close enought to walk to & back within a half-hour lunch period). So far I've ordered the BLAT (which I thought was really good, lots of bacon & avocado), the cheeseburger (just ok), and two paninis (barbecue chicken/bacon/provolone/sundried tomato, and the grilled chicken/parmesan/sundried tomato) - both were tasty and very large; I took home half both times so got dinner out if it too. Next time I' plan to order the Cobb salad; I saw someone order that today and it was a beautiful-looking salad. I also want to try breakast here since they offer some interesting, fairly cheap breakfast options (ex: Crunch French - French toast dipped in Cap'n Crunch)The prices are very reasonable, too, by Center City standards. The only downside for me is how long you have to wait to get your food. It was very crowded when I came in the first couple of times, so I chalked the wait up to that, but the secnod couple of times it wasn't really that busy and I waited just as long. Still, I'll definitely keep coming here b/c of the food quality and prices.

I usually walk home during my lunch breaks to grab a bite and catch up on reality TV. Today it is raining and gross outside, and I couldn't rationalize walking home in the rain, with no real prospects for a great lunch at home in the refrigerator. So, I hopped on yelp to see what was around the office and worth trying. Munchie's cafe popped up with solid reviews... I browsed their website to learn that I could order online, even better! I ordered the BALT (Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce & Tomato) on wheat, and by the time I walked the block from my office it was packaged and ready to go! The sandwich was delicious and for $5.50 - I will certainly be back the next time the rain, snow or sleet prevents me from eating lunch at home on the sofa!

The perfect spot to grab a bite. Friendly service, great food, good prices, and a large selection (plus breakfast foods!). Everything I've gotten from them has been tasty: cranberry turkey melt, chicken fingers, salads, sweet potato fries... It's my go-to spot for take out, but the place is bright and well-kept enough that I wouldn't mind eating in sometime.

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.

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!

My coworker is obsessed with Munchies. He invited me along a couple times and who am I to say no to the Mayor (or whatever you're called when you've checked in the most) of Munchie's Cafe? He loves their wing dings, but he has never offered me a ding to wing or to try, so I can't attest to how amaaazing they are, but I can tell you their fries are the best in a 2 block radius. Their sandwiches are well prepared (good thing too since the place has a deli counter), but their grilled items are pretty boring and lack anything special. Overall, it's a nice lunch spot. I wonder if I keep accompanying the Mayor, he will appoint me to his cabinet.

Munchie's is FANTASTIC. First of all, they are HUGE, with a large selection of both breakfast and lunch. They have a fridge case in the back that spans the length of the store, and has a wide variety of drinks. If you're a sandwich and snack person, don't worry. They have an assortment of snacks from cookies, to chips, to ice cream to Pocky. The meats are fresh - taken from their deli case and sliced right before you. And they are proud carriers of Dietz & Watson. I went in during lunchtime, expecting a long wait. There were a few people there, but they have a system (similiar to Wawa) where you order, then pay while they are making your food. It works fantastically. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. I ordered a BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, & Tomato) sandwich. It was $6. I must admit I had never considered blending those flavors, but how can you go wrong with bacon AND avacado? The answer - you can't. The sandwich turned out to be a 10" sub with perfectly cooked bacon and fresh veggies. The bread was fresh, although I don't know if they bake on site, or have fresh bread delivered. As with all well cooked bacon, the sandwich took a little longer to cooke than it did for me to pay. Which was fine, because they have a flat screen tv over their coffee bar, which I was able to watch until my sandwich was ready. In addition - for those of you looking to bring in sandwiches for a party or function - they do make both small and large party trays. The small trays are for 6+ people and cost $7 per person. That's almost cheaper than (and a whole lot more healthy than) pizza! I'll be treating myself here for a long time to come!

Don't waste your time and/or money. This place is a joke. I work nearby, and my co-workers and I wanted a change from our staple lunch spot down the street. The first time I went to Munchies, it took forever to get our lunch, but I didn't really think anything of it. I got a chicken salad sandwich which wasn't bad. On my second trip to Munchies, I again waited an inordinate amount of time for an egg salad sandwich which was the worst egg salad sandwich I've had in my entire life. To say the sandwich was dry was a complete understatement. The egg just crumbled all over the place. I decided to give Munchies one last try on my way to work this morning and stopped-in for breakfast. It was not very crowded, but I waited 25 minutes for a breakfast wrap and hashbrowns!! I was late for work, and when I finally started to eat my "breakfast," the wrap was completely wet and soggy, and the hashbrowns were practically raw. I am beyond annoyed that I just wasted all that time waiting for such a terrible breakfast. Munchies is off my list. They move way too slow, and you get what you pay for.

Donna M.
The food is really good and there's a great selection, but the service is not so great. It could take 20 minutes or more to get a simple sandwich at lunch. Not necessarily because the line is that long, but more because there's no system in place behind the counter and the staff bumbles about trying to figure out what is going on. Don't bother going between 12 and 1 if you have to return to work in a reasonable time.

This used to be a weekend tradition when we lived a block away. We've only ever ordered breakfast, but that alone is extremely affordable and delicious. Their menu is impressive and the breakfast platters are large enough for two people to share (or for one person to take home to enjoy later). I will say that it is comparable to diner food, so if you're looking for crazy bells and whistles, you'll be disappointed. As a convenient deli and cafe though, this place is great. We recommend the French Toast.

Don't waste your time and/or money. This place is a joke. I work nearby, and my co-workers and I wanted a change from our staple lunch spot down the street. The first time I went to Munchies, it took forever to get our lunch, but I didn't really think anything of it. I got a chicken salad sandwich which wasn't bad. On my second trip to Munchies, I again waited an inordinate amount of time for an egg salad sandwich which was the worst egg salad sandwich I've had in my entire life. To say the sandwich was dry was a complete understatement. The egg just crumbled all over the place. I decided to give Munchies one last try on my way to work this morning and stopped-in for breakfast. It was not very crowded, but I waited 25 minutes for a breakfast wrap and hashbrowns!! I was late for work, and when I finally started to eat my "breakfast," the wrap was completely wet and soggy, and the hashbrowns were practically raw. I am beyond annoyed that I just wasted all that time waiting for such a terrible breakfast. Munchies is off my list. They move way too slow, and you get what you pay for.

The food is really good and there's a great selection, but the service is not so great. It could take 20 minutes or more to get a simple sandwich at lunch. Not necessarily because the line is that long, but more because there's no system in place behind the counter and the staff bumbles about trying to figure out what is going on. Don't bother going between 12 and 1 if you have to return to work in a reasonable time.

This used to be a weekend tradition when we lived a block away. We've only ever ordered breakfast, but that alone is extremely affordable and delicious. Their menu is impressive and the breakfast platters are large enough for two people to share (or for one person to take home to enjoy later). I will say that it is comparable to diner food, so if you're looking for crazy bells and whistles, you'll be disappointed. As a convenient deli and cafe though, this place is great. We recommend the French Toast.
