Chickie's & Pete's

"Location: Ashburn Alley, Sections 208, 319, Hall of Fame Club sections 218 & 225; everywhere ice cream is sold. We’d be remiss not to mention the legends of Citizens Bank Park, and no, we don’t mean the Hall of Famers. You cannot go wrong with the spicy crab fries and signature cheese sauce from Chickies & Pete’s, a chocolate-vanilla swirl of soft serve and rainbow jimmies in a Phils helmet, and a salty soft pretzel spoon. If the dozens of stands become too overwhelming, just stick with these." - alison kessler, candis mclean

"Location: 104, 116, 204, 210, 216, and 222A If you head to the Wells Fargo Center or the ballpark and leave without eating crab fries, did the game even happen? We’ll never know because we’ve never done it. And with the most vendor locations in the building, we guess most of the city agrees. We’re certain they sell more chicken tender baskets and fries with Old Bay-flavored mozzarella than Embiid shirts every night. Why? Because they’re just as legendary as any jersey hanging from the rafters." - candis mclean

"Chickie’s & Pete’s is a South Philly and Northeast sports bar where the beer comes in towers and the wings are hot and messy. They’ve got a surprisingly good lobster roll, and the signature crab fries are a Philly sports fan birthright. But if you’ve been to a stadium, airport, or the boardwalk, you probably knew that already. There’s no dress code here, but you’re on your own if you roll up wearing a Cowboy’s jersey." - candis mclean

"The famous seasoned fries with white cheese sauce at Chickie’s & Pete’s are available inside all three Philadelphia stadiums — Lincoln Financial Field, the Wells Fargo Center, and Citizens Bank Park — but on game day it’s worth checking out the large standalone Chickie’s & Pete’s nearby where it’s always a party with beers flowing and crab fries galore." - Sarah Maiellano

"If joining fellow Eagles fans filling up on crab fries is more important to you than being directly on Broad Street, head to this Philly sports bar institution. You’ll still be right near the start of the parade. And you’ll have crab fries." - Andre Darlington
