Ordered cheesesteak nachos. Was told it was a huge order, enough for two. NO WAY!! I got some over done steak sandwich meat with cheese sprinkled and melted on top, a tiny container of guacomole, sour cream and salsa. It came in one of their little cardboard containers, the same one they use when you order their tiny wings. This... More

The food was just ok! The hamburger was just ok and so was the shrimp cocktail.The best thing is the cheese for the French Fries.

This place has a great upbeat atmosphere and VERY good food. It is a sports bar theme and it is always VERY active when we visit. They run some tasty specials as well.

Went to the chickies, ordered an expensive martini which came 3/4 filled, and ordered chicken wings that came out looking like humming bird wings!! Never seen wings this small before. But the kicker was when I ordered a salad, I got charged a dollar for extra dressing in a little soufflé cup!! C' mon Pete! Usually satisfied when going there,... More

Although this restaurant is known for it's great crabs I also recommennd you try their complete appetizer menu. We have had all of them at one time or another. All are large enough that they could be considered a meal. The Hot Wings are great, you must try the mussels in red sauce, shrimp, clams in garlic sauce, (hint--take the... More

As other reviewers have said, it is high-priced for what you get. The food is OK - nothing to write home about. This last trip, we were put off by a couple of things. One being that when you order a sandwich it comes with NOTHING. If you want fries, they must be ordered separately. So, my husband got a... More

You can't go wrong with Chicke's & Pete's. Mussels in white garlic sauce are awsome. Kids got fried shrimp and chicken cutlets. White Lobster Pizza was well done, thin crust. Crab fries are a must. I've been at this location a few times, and recently the location in the North East. Always good service.

This is very close to where I live and I go a few times a year, but it is usually so crowded you cannot enjoy yourself. Secondly, I do not eat fish/seafood, so your menu is limited. It is bar food that is ok. There is usually a wait to get in and drinks are pricy. It is a tourist... More

Waitress was rude and inattentive to requests. There are many other, better options at PHL Terminal C. Avoid this one!
