Where are the Best Cheap Eats in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?
Usually a wait and for good reason. Food is always good, hot and lots of it. Huge slab of medium rare prime rib melts in your mouth. Kitchen will make anything they have ingredients for. Everybody takes home something. Great wait staff. Elegant furnishings.Try and save room for the strawberry crepes and ice cream for dessert but you need 2-4 to eat it. For great take out check Georgine’s II just down the road.Pros + good food, affordable, adequate parkingCons – wait time, noisy
I totally forgot about this place until I ran across from it again one afternoon. It is tucked a bit from Penn campus, right across from the Penn skating rink. I love the sandwiches that they have here. I have yet asked them to pack a picnic basket…maybe next time.Pros + Sandwiches, picnic baskets
I have not been to the Jamaican J Hut in over three years. Why? When I last dined there in 2006 food was HORRIBLE and the service was TERRIBLE. Last Saturday I had out-of-town company and we decided to South Street. As we drove by The JJH we could hear the band playing and my company wanted to check it out (he is a big Reggae fan). We parked in adjoining parking lot $8. not bad, and walked over to The JJH. To my SUPRISE there was a greeter at the gate who welcomed us in and motioned for a waiter to help us get seated and take our orders. HUGE CHANGES from the last time I was there. My friend ordered the Jrk Chicken and I got the Brown Stewed Fish. Our waiter informed us that the wait would be 45mins but the band was great so time went by rather quickly. The Jrk Chicken was excellent but the fish was burnt, dried out, bitter and had enough salt for 3 servings, but that was my only problem. Pumpkin Soup Appetizer was wonderful; our waiter Sam was very efficient. My advice; go; enjoy Hap
