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. Suddenly, the mountain of napkins they brought made perfect sense — this was not a polite sandwich; this was a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-dive-in situation.
The first bite was pure comfort: juicy, tender beef seasoned just right, with a whisper of garlic that lingered like a good secret. The onions had character — cooked just long enough to bring out flavor and attitude, but not so long they turned soft or brown. Even the bun held its ground, soft yet sturdy enough to carry the load like a true Philly hero.
To wash it all down, I tried their Donut Hard Cider from Ship Bottom Brewery in Swarthmore, PA (5.5% ABV). It’s basically fall in a glass — crisp apples, a swirl of cinnamon, a touch of sugar, and just enough cardamom to make you want to wear flannel. The finish was warm, sweet, and cozy, like dessert disguised as a drink.
The sounds of sizzling beef, clinking glasses, and the faint hum of airport travelers made for the perfect Philly soundtrack. The air smelled of toasted bread and melted cheese — a fragrance that should honestly be bottled and sold at duty-free.
By the end, I was full, happy, and maybe a little emotional. This wasn’t just a sandwich — it was a Philly initiation, and I passed with flying colors (and greasy fingers).

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 though – if you want to be full up, eat here!

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.

For a sports bar, the TV’s are quite small, but that’s the extent of my negative feedback. The staff was super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. I got the steak and egg cheesesteak, sweet crabby fries, and a mimosa. The food came out hot, fast and was exceptional for ‘bar’ food.
The sweet potato fries had a nice all purpose seasoning on them and the maple syrup was a perfect dipping sauce for my brunch meal. The cheese sauce was also great on the fries, but I mainly used it to add a little extra sauce on my cheesesteak. The bread was soft and fluffy with a nice crust. The cheese sauce was delicious. They were out of cider, so I got a mimosa to stick with a brunch vibe. The mimosa wasn’t a highlight, but their go to is beer not brunch drinks. Definitely worth a stop if you need to grab food or drinks at the airport…and if they have other locations, I’d definitely go here again!

Great food and service. Stopped here while we waited to board our flight. The classic Philly was ok point. The fries are a must! They have a bigger sitting area closer to terminal A23.

Had a quick bite at Chickie’s & Pete’s in the Philadelphia airport and was pretty underwhelmed. The cheese or sauce just didn’t taste right — bland and a bit off. The meat didn’t smell appetizing either, which made the whole meal hard to enjoy. It feels like it could be much better with fresher ingredients and more attention to flavor. Not the worst, but definitely not something I’d look forward to again.

We took the suggestion to try the crab fries. Our waitress warned us that there is no crab anywhere but more like a spice shaken on. They were good and came with an interesting dipping sauce. We got a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was good…but not as classic as we were hoping for. Interesting flavours just not what we hoped for.
