This is a crazy underrated gem in the Northeast. Everything I had from here was delicious, especially 'the one' chopped cheese. The empanadas were also exceptional. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Plus they're a BYOB with hookah and karaoke on Fridays. What more could you want?

This spot was awesome and worth the drive over from Center City to try out. The One and Philly sandwiches were excellent, with a ton of meat, quality ingredients, and delicious taste. The wings were also crunchy and solid. Highly recommend, will definitely be back for more chop cheeses!

LOVED this place. My son, and I was told that we should visit this establishment and we were pleased that we did! The food was delicious , the ambiance and customer service was just as awesome, also the homemade passion fruit juice was amazing, my son had two of the homemade lemon lime juice which was also delicious! Everyone made us feel right at home. I wished I had taken a pic of the sandwich I ordered called “The One” it look so good, I forgot to do so. I did get to take a few pics inside (attached). I hear Saturday nights are so live, they have music, hookah, and all! The owners & staff were so welcoming we will definitely be back!

I visited this resturant and lounge for the first time 5-17-2025. Hubby and I were looking for a spot to eat and a lot of places were already closed. It would be 11pm soon. We ran into this place while walking the ave. It is a family owed business with lovely ladies serving you natural fruit drinks, fresh made food never frozen or pre made. We got a rise and shine smash burger 9.5/10. We got the chicken renders 10/10. We got the old bay cheese crinkle fries 8/10. We got passion fruit and pineapple natural fruit juices both were great 10/10. Finally the famous philly chop cheese empanadas 10/10. The food is fresh and hot and great prices for the quality too. The owner Charita was such a sweetheart and she mentioned they book for private events. When they are open they are open until late hours. I recommend them for sure. We got all of this and only spent like 50. So very affordable. Per person i would say it depends on what you order. Anywhere from 10-20 or more per person. They added new menu items too Regards from- A Happy Customer Cinthia

My chopped cheese was so good!! Today was my first time having one from here in Philly! I didn’t know what to expect knowing I’m from New York and some things just don’t taste the same as back home but the bread was toasted and crispy, the meat was juicy and tender and well combined with the cheese. I told my boyfriend about it and saved a half just for him to taste because I was so excited! We definitely will be back!!

My son found this quaint restaurant for us to go to for lunch. We were greeted by 3 Beautiful women who gave us wonderful service. We ordered the Chop Buffalo Chicken Fries, Chopped Chicken Fries, Dat Norf Philly Chicken sandwich, Chop Salmond sandwich, Thai Chili wings and the chicken & cheese Empanada, with Limeade Lemonade juice and Passion fruit juice. Everything was delicious!! Great flavor, food was fresh. The atmosphere was giving positive vibes, and the restaurant is clean. I enjoyed having lunch with my children here and dinner with my spouse as well. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, stop by everything in the menu is good!!
