"Chris’ Jazz Cafe has a simple concept: host jazz performances from Tuesdays to Saturdays and serve up some great sandwiches and mains named after jazz legends. Open since 1989, the Center City spot is a place where you’ll find regulars who’ve been coming here for decades, a few couples out on date nights, and a young group of Temple art students strumming air keys while the band plays. Go for the Miles Davis sandwich with BBQ pork shoulder topped with tidewater slaw and crispy onions or the tamarind chicken wings. Another reason we love the place: they don’t close until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays." - candis mclean

"Every night, there’s something tight at this Center City hot spot for live jazz music five evenings a week. Enjoy their roasted oysters, braised pork belly, and jambalaya (with alligator sausage) while sipping on their standout strawberry smashes and Moscow mules." - George Banks-Weston

"Occasionally Chris’ Jazz Cafe in Center City rotates in the French brandade — mashed salted cod whipped with potatoes — offering a creamy, plated take on cod brandade." - Diana Lu
