Even better fried wings than Federal Doughnuts. Mac n cheese was good too. Pretty fast delivery with GrubHub - great experience.

One and done. We waited almost 2hrs for our order and when it arrived it was awful. We ordered a simple cheesesteak that was salty and a half chicken. The chicken overcooked and dry with no container just thrown in a bag. What place does that? Being inedible it ended up thrown out. I get some nights get busy but for the prices charged here..outrageous !!! You don't put out food like that for any reason especially calling yourself chef. Oh I'm sorry one more thing the sauce that comes with was not enough to cover a wing.

First, this was the biggest chicken sandwich I have ever seen. But not the best by far....It was SALTY so salty in fact that I deconstructed it and pulled the fried coating off of the meat. Which was way too dark, clearly fried in overused oil. My fries would have been good but many and withered over cooked or left under a heat lamp....my order was almost an hour late-delivery through grub hub. I do not know what sauce was on the sandwich but I didn't like it. Terribly dissapointed, especially as this was my first cheat meal in a long while...

I ordered the red velvet chicken and waffle sandwich with a side of home fries. The home fries were burnt but a nice underlying flavor. The chicken and waffle sandwich was soaked syrup and icing so it couldn't be picked up. The chicken was also burnt and they put hot sauce on the chicken which made the overall sandwich a weird flavor.

I heard Big Rube talking about his food on 94WIP and I wanted to give it a try. I decided to get some dinner for my family this past Saturday. I went to the Fishtown location and the ordering process was quick and easy. The food was the best that I have ever tasted and my family thought the same. The portions was more than enough and the food was prepared perfectly. If you are looking for the best food in Philly, hit up Big Rube's Kitchen and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I'll definitely be back!

Horrible takeout experience. Burger was dry and overcooked. I asked the person at the counter for mayo and she said they didn’t have any. I asked for any other dipping sauce for my fries. She feigns going into the kitchen and tells me they don’t have any dipping sauces

As of writing this, this is by fav my favorite cheesesteak I've had (and I've tried a good number of them). The bun is delish, the meat is perfect, and the cheese melts in your mouth. The onions give it a nice kick too. Perfect, just perfect

My container was open in the delivery bag, so my fries and chicken were all over the bag. Expected more chicken for $12. truffle fries were decent.
