Came in for some matzo ball soup on a chilly September day. It was delicious and the perfect choice to warm up before continuing on our journey along South St. It has an old school, mellow Jewish deli vibe. Worth a stop.
Excellent food & service. Our server was very nice & had a great attitude. He was crazy busy with a table of about 5 women who had him back & forth!
Kosher style dining at its best. Sandwiches are both huge and ultra huge! Sharing is permitted without having to pay a sharing fee.
Definitely recommend the famous chopped liver sandwich and the Reuben which we enjoyed. Come hungry since there is so much to eat.
Got a regular size soft baked chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Was the prefect ending to our meal. In front is a full scale take out area for meat, fish, sides, and big desserts.
Parking is extremely limited in this area but metered street parking is available.

Been going to Famous for years. Best whitefish salad on poppy and the chocolate cookies with walnuts are to die for!
NEVER miss a chance to spend an hour trying to finish a corned beef Reuben at famous! my strategy is don't put it down once you pick up a half. very difficult to pick it up again.
This place never disappoints! I got a corned beef sandwich, a knish and some 3 cherry hamentash. The hamentash have this shortbread taste and are incredible. The corned beef which I get lean is very good on the rye with deli mustard. I've eaten inside here before and everything is incredible. If you've never been here go. You won't be disappointed!!
Huge potions! Quality meat, friendly service, one of a kind place. A must for Philly first timers. Amazing cheesecake and the best Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had! We went twice this week.
The wait time was long, and our party of 6 got split in two, but the food and service were incredible. Portion sizes are also enormous!
✅Large portions
(My photo is one cheesesteak split between the two people)
✅old school look and feel
✅typical diner service.
Would have it again.
The only real Jewish deli in Center City Philadelphia. Perfect!
