Customer Reviews
Amazing food and top-tier service at Chickie’s & Pete’s! Had an awesome experience here. From the moment we sat down, the customer service was outstanding, everyone was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the staff actually enjoys being there, which makes a huge difference. The food absolutely hit the spot too. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor, perfect bar style comfort food done right. Portions were generous, and the overall vibe was fun and relaxed, making it a great place to hang out, eat well, and enjoy yourself. BEST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN AN AIRPORT!!!!
Ilana assisted with the detective work - suggesting the half and half fry combo. Reminiscent of Two-Face. Half sweet half salty. Entirely delicious! Even included some serenading, Ilana provided outstanding service! Safe travels, citizens of Chickie's!
Chickie’s & Pete’s – Philadelphia Airport October 29, 2025 What’s a trip to Philly without a cheesesteak? Like flying to Paris and skipping the Eiffel Tower — it just isn’t done. So naturally, I made my way to Chickie’s & Pete’s, the original spot everyone swears by. Chris, my server, greeted me with a grin that could sell sunshine. They buzzed behind the counter with that practiced rhythm — quick, cheerful, and just chaotic enough to prove you’re in a real Philly joint. Ask for something and bam! — it materializes before you even finish your sentence. They recommended “The Classic” Philly Cheesesteak, loaded with mushrooms and onions. When it hit the table, it was love at first sizzle. The sandwich was piping hot, cheese gloriously gooey and stretching like it had something to prove. S
Quite impressed with this place! Reasons to give it a 5* first - then the reason I knocked a star off. Service was great, the server was lovely, and brings you a large glass of ice water before you've ordered which is a nice touch. I had a breakfast sandwich with the steak, eggs, and cheese sauce. This really was 5/5. The pics don't do it justice as the sauce doesn't look appetizing - but it is! We ordered a side of their fries - big enough for 2. It's a large portion. I liked the seasoning a lot. But think there may be too much salt on them. But they were really good! My partner had the chicken cheesesteak. It was nice, but the chicken was quite dry With the chicken sarnie being a bit dry, and the fries having too much salt on them. It's a 4 from me Good portion size as well thoug
Family friend said I had to go here while on a layover in Philly. I’m not usually a fan of Philly cheese steak sandwiches, but had to try it here since I was in Philly. Overall I didn’t care for it, but I think it’s more just because I’m not into these sandwiches. The fries are famous, so I had to try those too. However, they are far too salty for my taste. I ended up eating about 15% of this and I’m stuffed. So definitely a meal to split with a group if you’re traveling with others. The service was great.
