What a local gem. We pop in often and tonight didn’t disappoint. The best sweet potato fries in the city and some complex and deliciously layered sausage, chicken and steak chili. So so good! The nachos are fire too!

During our recent visit to Pennsylvania, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic spot that truly exceeded expectations. For a very reasonable price of $59, we enjoyed a delicious spread, including tacos with a side of chili, two burgers with fries, tea, and two waters. One of the standout features was that everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was a huge plus for us. The buns on the burgers were especially delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The atmosphere was just right—not too loud or crowded—creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. A nice touch is the digital payment option on the receipt, where you can easily pay and leave a tip with a code.
Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in the area. If you’re in PA and craving some great food in a comfortable setting, this place is highly recommended! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Nestled in a quiet corner of Old City, Race Street Cafe surprises with its relaxed charm, local character, and food that goes beyond expectations. Among the highlights of our recent visit were two standout dishes: the beef patty burger and the crispy tilapia taco.
The beef patty burger, ordered medium, was cooked to perfection. Juicy with a slightly pink center, it struck that elusive balance between seared exterior and tender interior. The seasoning was subtle yet satisfying, allowing the quality of the meat to shine. Paired with fresh toppings and a lightly toasted bun, it delivered comfort and flavor in every bite.
The crispy tilapia taco was equally impressive. Each bite offered a satisfying crunch from the perfectly fried exterior, giving way to tender, flaky fish inside. The freshness of the tilapia was unmistakable, complemented by zesty toppings and a soft tortilla that brought it all together. It’s a dish that’s simple on paper but executed with care and attention.
Race Street Cafe keeps things unpretentious, but the kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual bite or lingering over drinks with friends, it’s the kind of place that leaves a good impression—and keeps you coming back.
Worth a try.

We stopped for a quick bite to eat before a concert. Our server was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. The food came quick and was delicious but we were expecting slightly larger portions for the price (the salmon but big but there wasn’t a lot of pasta). It was great anyway. If you’re unsure of where to eat- go here.

We stopped into Race Street Cafe for a spur-of-the-moment brunch. Unfortunately, we were too early to try one of the specials I saw on the board which was a take of a fancy grilled cheese. They said the specials weren’t made until 3 pm. I settled for the Race Street Burger. I asked for it medium and it came out essentially just well done. It still tasted okay but not my favorite. The fries tasted good but the portion seemed a bit less than typical in this type of dish. My girlfriend really enjoyed her order of The Hangover. The croissant was baked well and the tater tots were nice and crunchy.
The location itself gave off a friendly sports pub/tavern feel. The staff was very welcoming.

Love that they do breakfast until 3p. We split the brisket sandwich and french toast and both were good but we probably could still eat another brisket sandwich. It was so good and the sauce it came with was super tummy.

Great spot for food and drinks. Ambiance is couzy with pleasant and friendly athmosphere. Just what you need after hard day of work.
Grilled chicken sandwich with the house salad hit the spot on my palet just in the right way.

This little place is a hidden gem in the Penns Landing area. The food was excellent. The service amazing. The atmosphere was quite cozy. I tried the burger, the Buffalo chicken sandwich, and the Buffalo shrimp over two nights and none of it disappointed. The fries were perfect both nights with just the right amount of seasoning, which is not something even the fast food giants can accomplish. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Dark inside the building but outside seating has a great view.
It may not look it, but I did very much enjoyed my Chicken Quesadilla.
