Reviews for Famous 4th Street Delicatessen in Philadelphia, PA
The food is pricey but they give you very large servings. We ordered just three things: corned beef sandwich, matzo ball soup... and fries. The sandwich was very dry, the matzo ball itself was delicious (the chicken in it wasn?t), and the fries werealright. The service was a bit lukewarm. However, we loved the seating, so that kind of made up for it ???? Read more
The food and service here is terrific. Our party of ten enjoyed a great variety of old time kosher style cuisine, such as matzo... ball soup stuffed cabbage potato latkes and gigantic corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. Their desserts also were over the topdelicious. We recommend this fine establishment highly. Read more
Sandwiches were large and tasty. First time having matzo ball soup - reminds me of chicken noodle which is always a reminder of... home. Definitely split sandwiches - we still brought leftovers home. They even serve wonderful cookies at the end of themeal. We actually came in looking for a sweets spots. They do have a nice collection when you walk in - ended up having dinnerinstead. Definitely will return! Read more
I haven't been there for years. So it was a bit nostalgic. But the service was pleasantly delightful and the food was delicious.... I would recommend this place for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I had the Hot Roast Beef and my friend had the Rueben w/meltedcheese Read more
What a great experience! This deli is only a few blocks from my girlfriend's apartment, yet this was our first visit! Pretty... sure this place has EVERYTHING you could possibly expect from a top end Jewish deli. We decided to order a "regular" sized hotpastrami + turkey sandwich along with a bacon grilled cheese sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. The potato pancakes are amust-order on the side too! We took home a slice of confetti cake and that 100% exceeded my expectations. Our server was greatand the overall atmosphere in this place was very fitting. I will say the prices are probably a little on the expensive side butdefinitely worth it. We will be returning for sure! Read more
What generous portions! What great atmosphere! What cheeky, yet efficient service! You need to stop in and treat yourself to a... repast that will tickle all five senses. And do indulge in a dessert, even if you have to order it "to go"! Read more
Wonderful authentic diner! We had a roast beef sandwich and a grill cheese sandwich. Both were delicious!! While we were leaving... we stop to pick up dessert - black out cake!! A slice is big enough to feed 4 or more and was delicious! The staff was friendlyand welcoming. There is no parking lot...so you will have to find parking...but it is worth the effort. Read more
I?m usually cautious of places that have ?famous? in its name, but this place is no joke. I?d you ever have an opportunity to... try this place, definitely go on an empty stomach - like you fasted all day empty. The food is Incredible and the portions areMASSIVE. Definitely worth the trip! Their signature mustard blew my mind! I wish I asked to buy a bottle for him. Our waitresswas so sweet and gave us cookies with our check. Will definitely come back again. Only downside is finding meter parking butthere is a pay parking lot across the street. Read more
