If there’s one thing just as good as the second coming of Christ, it’s ordering the seasonal butternut squash from this place. The specials this place does are always fantastic. If you’re a tourist and don’t know where to visit that’s not “touristy” you should stop in. Sincerely, a local

Plenty of vegan options. My favorite is the vegan chicken po'boy on the Leidenheimer roll. Fun drinks, including a non-alcoholic option for shark week :) I wish they would bring back the vegan sausage sandwich that they had a few years ago on the menu.

Fantastic food and service. Creole Caesar salad is the best Caesar my wife’s ever had. Delicious Nashville Chicken Po, Boy. And I love English style cask ales and they're so hard to find, so grateful for Khyber's selection! Atmosphere is also very nice. We drank a lot, thus $30-50, vs $20-30

Super cool and unique bar. They have a homemade bloody Mary mix. But the beer options are plenty and so unique. They have a cider with European apples, a peanut butter and jelly beer, and a fermented Washington cherry beer!

I’ve taken down quite a few vegan wings in my day but damn these without a doubt are the best I’ve had. They were juicy and the seitan was cooked just right so it didn’t feel tough. Yum. And the desert truly caught me by surprise. It was a Bananas Fosters Custard which had caramelized bananas, vanilla custard, spiced wafer crumble, salted caramel (excerpt from online). I was reluctant because it looks like flan and me and flan ain’t homies. The first bite of the custard left me speechless. It is out of this world and you gotta try it. Can’t go wrong with this place!

If you are in Philly and a beer lover this place is a must. Discovered entirely by chance whilst I was trying to resolve another issue and needed somewhere to sit down and make calls, I blundered across the wonder that is the Khyber Pass Pub. Not only are the staff excellent, giving me one of their cables to recharge my phone, and take time to help a stranger with a problem, they also know their stuff and their beers. They also know their music, a great selection, loud enough to get lost in, if you are on your own, quiet enough not to distract you if you are having a conversation. The food is good and was one of the few places that got the portions right, enough to fill full, not enough to force you to waste or feel bloated. The range of beers is great, regularly changing, only found one that I didn't like and that was one of the imports. There are lots of good US beers, was really surprised to find English beer glasses. In the short time I was in Philly, this became a regular haunt. If you are in the Old Town, I would say this is a definite place on your list. If you're not in the Old Town, make the time to check it out, it's as an important part of the Philidephia experience as a run up the Rocky Steps.

One of the great burgers around in Philly. The smash burger has lots of flavor even with one layer of patty. However it is kinda pricy to pay for a double patty burger for $16. The beers are on point here, however the sweet potato fries are lacking and taste soggy.

If you've never experienced the wonders of this place, you're truly missing out. From the vibrant atmosphere to the tantalizing food and exceptional service, you'll feel truly alive here. The consistency of their menu is one of the reasons they rarely change it, as everything they offer is consistently delicious. In addition to their regular menu items, they offer a monthly Poboy special and a menu card that features some special items. Their drink menu is frequently updated to showcase new and seasonal craft beers. During my visit, my friend opted for the parsnip and apple soup from the specials menu, which she described as bursting with apple flavor and absolutely delightful. Following that, she tried their gumbo, a well-known favorite that did not disappoint. As a vegan, I chose the vegan fried chicken Poboy from their regular menu, which featured seitan lightly breaded and fried, along with lettuce, tomato, pickles, vegan mayo, and Creole mustard on a Leidenheimer roll. The Leidenheimer roll, reminiscent of a French baguette, added the perfect crunch to the sandwich. The seitan fried chicken was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The half sandwich was quite filling, especially when paired with an appetizer. We also ordered a side of sweet potato fries, which, although pricier than expected, were well worth it - perfectly cooked, crispy, and seasoned just right. No visit to the Kyber Pass Pub is complete without trying their fried green tomatoes, made with buttermilk and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we indulged in the banana foster from their special menu, which was served cold and was a delightful treat for both of us. The vibrant, diverse crowd and lively atmosphere at Kyber Pass Pub truly make it one of the best restaurants in the city. Check their website for live entertainment, bands, and events - they've been a staple in the community for years. Originally a speakeasy in the 1850s, the venue has evolved over the

I was visiting for a conference in town and we noticed this pub was close to our hotel so we went in for lunch one of the days. The burger was perfect; it got even better when paired with the fries. Both were so good that on my last night in the city, despite having eaten earlier, I stopped back in for the same burger and fries. I don’t have any pictures of it because I ate it so fast. I also ordered an interesting beer (pictures included) that was extremely refreshing. The staff was beyond welcoming and was extremely attentive. I will for sure come back here the next time I’m in town. Thank you!
