European Republic

The food came out super quick and was really good! I loved the stuffed grape leaves in the Greek salad. Olives still had pits so be careful lol. Small interior but it seemed most people were ordering to go.

European Republic is a hidden gem in Philly! The wraps are absolutely packed with flavor — I had the grilled chicken pesto wrap and it was perfection. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped up tight in a warm, soft pita. What really sets this place apart, though, is the variety of dipping sauces. Seriously, the sauces are next level — you’ll want to try every single one. The garlic mayo and curry ketchup are must-haves! Fast service, super friendly staff, and a cozy vibe make it a great stop whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or hanging out with friends. Can’t wait to come back and try more! Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the Crispy Chicken Wrap with fries! So tasty, and the textures from the Crispy chicken and lettuce were perfect. All the sauces were amazing, I got a side of Jalapeño Cheddar to go with my meal and it was so good!! Nice and spicy just how I like it. Would definitely recommend and return.

simply excellent! i got the goat cheese wrap with fries along with the basil sauce that i was recommended. very fresh, great portion, and great prices. also the guys working were so kind and helpful! shout out to Ameen & Ahmad. i will have to come back to try every wrap and sauce!!

I called in a late order for take out and everything was ready within 15 minutes and on point! Hot and fresh entrees and sides served in a welcoming atmosphere made for the perfect late night munchie! Not to mention the caramel cheesecake and fresh carrot cake made to perfection

This place was great! The service was quick and friendly, and the food was good. I highly recommend the fries, they were amazing. There's not a ton of seating, but there was enough for our group.

The great! Everything is so tasty... And fresh... And the service is Quick and nice!

Love the lamb combo, the fries and dipping sauces is my go too. Take sauce home and use on something else. Lemon iced tea is so good. And that honey bun cake is everything.

European Republic was our go-to spot when visiting Philly before college and early years of college. We swung by after 6-7 years and were surprised to see the menu expand so much. They offer burgers, cheesesteaks, chicken over rice and more. Nothing has changed with the chicken wraps! They still offer their unique sauces. The staff was really kind and slipped in like six fries in my bag which was a lovely surprise. The basil sauce is so unique! I'd highly recommend the jalapeño sauce as well. If you'd like something on the sweeter side and a bit more traditional, I would recommend the honey mustard. Don't think it is worth dropping a star, but prices have significantly increased. I know this happens as the economy and value of the dollar changes.

I came here for a quick meal between stops. I ordered the crispy chicken wrap and fries. The food came quickly, had a great flavor, and did not feel overly glutinous. My friend who took me here grew up dining here and swore by its consistency. I'll keep the European Republic in my sandwich rotation.

I stumbled upon this delightful hole in the wall Belgian eatery, and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations in every way! Great service from the guys behind the counter cooking. They serve Belgian style frites with unique sauces, various wraps, and satisfying soups, all at affordable prices. While this place may lack in ambiance and fancy decor, the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere more than make up for it. It's the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem, where the focus is on the food and service, not the frills

I went with some co-workers to European Republic, which they recommended. At European Republic, you order at the front register. When I was here there was a pretty long line, but after about five to seven minutes of waiting, I ordered. I went with the Greek salad and added shrimp. The salad was pretty awful. They never noted that the shrimp was actually fried, which should be noted - the presumption is that it's not fried unless otherwise noted. The lettuce was mushy and the feta cheese did not taste fresh. The gentleman working behind the counter was nice. There is a bit of seating at European Republic, but it's not anything special. It's a couple of tables and chairs that you can eat your to go order at. Altogether, I will not return to European Republic.

This is a small place on Chestnut Street in Old City. It might be easy to miss amongst the larger fancy restaurants and bars, but it is a true gem and I highly recommend it. The people are super friendly and they have a diverse menu of lots of interesting dishes. A small amount ofseating is present, but it is certainly comfortable enough. I had the chicken and rice platter and it was terrific, as good as anything you'd get from a street cart in New York City. Nice portion and super tasty. I will definitely be coming here more often after this excellent experience.

Customer service is the issue here. I've had multiple orders missing items but my last one is just not ok. I ordered a single chicken tender, a wrap, and fries. The chicken tender was instead a spicy chicken sandwich covered in cole slaw. This was for a toddler. I called and he hung up on me. The food quality has gone downhill too. The chicken in my wrap was hard and rubbery. The owner is always a dick. Prices are ridiculous for what you get. The fries are always good but nothing is worth this bs.

Delicious option for lunch that'll keep you fueled in the middle of the workday or exploring the many local attractions. The staff was friendly and in a great mood The order came up quick The portions were a great size The soup was filled to the brim and packed with flavor The rice is so well made I want to call them for the recipe Indoor seating and takeout available

I have a friend that's worked down the block forever. We used to frequent this place. Then I forgot about it. Just recently we went to Wu-Tang in Camden. We were going to ride the ferry but needed some fuel first. So I was like why don't we hit the old spot? Everyone agreed and we went over. Their fries are perfectly crispy as always. They really have the best French fries. Always a little brown. I got a salmon wrap that was delicious. They have homemade tea too that is crazy good. Cheap too. That's the thing, this place is very inexpensive and very delicious. In all the years I've known about it they have never faltered in quality.

I had a very good dinner here of the linguine in clam souce (shrimp added) and a side salad. I placed my order online beforehand and it was waiting for me when I arrived. The salad was fresh. If I hadn't had ice cream on my mind, I would have tried one of the cakes or rice pudding. Nice coffee shop/European bistro atmosphere.

Great food, great service, friendly employees and a suitable location for a bris Not really, but grab your honey and bringm on down your gonna wanna share cuisine like this. The food is outta control. Apparently "European style" but I can't confirm due to my inability to leave philly

Awesome little eatery! Most people don't know about this tiny sandwich place, but it's worth learning about! They mostly make wrap-sandwiches. They're huge and they're GOOD. Check 'em out. They're worth it. *Note* This is Center City, so there's no parking whatsoever, and the place is small... only big enough for 10 people to sit, or so.

I didn't much expectations coming here for a quick bite after attending The Women's Film Festival one evening. It's a small space that has surprisedly delicious food and interesting variety. With the name, "European Republic" I didn't know what to expect. The pasta was tasty and the wraps were good. I would totally come back here.

Great food! Great service! Best fries anywhere! Love the sauces! Love the falafel. Go there frequently. I definitely recommend it.

Was on the way to harbor park and wanted a quick bite. I saw European republic and wow it was so good. Glad I came here and I would come again!!

I got the salmon wrap with fries & the basil sauce!!! First of all, why are these fries so good!! Very warm in here if you are stoping by Old City

I ordered the seafood gumbo and the chicken caesar wrap. The gumbo was very good and there were strange elements in the food. I did not finish it. The wrap was ok, but it was suppose to come with fries, and were not in the bag when I went to to pick up my take out. I won't be back.

Farid is the best!!!! We always come for lunch and they provide great service and great food!

Great little place for wraps. Amazing fries! The prices were reasonable, which is a pleasant surprise in this neighborhood. The owners were personable as well. Highly recommend!

As others have said, come here for the fries, but not so much for the wraps. I came for a quick dinner on a Friday evening around 5:30pm. The restaurant was empty. I ordered the fresh mozzarella tomato basil wrap. It was okay, but the wrap texture was almost cracker-like, and although the sauce on it was good, there was far too much of it (this is coming from someone who usually has to request extra sauce for everything). My friend and I split a large order of Frites, which comes with two dipping sauces. We got the roasted eggplant and roasted garlic dips. Both were delicious, but the roasted garlic dip stood out in particular. The Belgian-style fries were yummy and really hit the spot. I would return to European Republic when I'm in Old City to snack on some fries and try out some new dipping sauces.

About 6 months ago, my wife and I visited Philly while visiting family. (Completely forgot about it, because Im a horrible, addle-brain person.) This little hole in the wall place jumped out at us. My wife had never had Middle Eastern food before, and this was THE best falafel I've ever had. She had lamb and rice and the dude behind the counter was super nice and helpful! Gonna go back time and time again.

Really good little sandwich shop. Nothing fancy but a great place to stop for a quick bite and that has really good food. This is one of those places that is perfect for that. I was in the area and needed a fast meal. That was good and this exactly fit the bill. I got the chicken curry wrap which was really tasty, next time I'll probably try the grilled vegetable chicken wrap

So many dip options! We tried the jalapeno cheddar, basil and fire. All good but our favorite was the jalapeno cheddar. The fries are nice and crispy even after ordering them as take out and bringing them home.

Just had a great takeout experience and felt compelled to update my review. Went with my usual: a grilled chicken, brie, and honey mustard wrap and fries with European ketchup. This time, I also ordered a Greek salad and got a side of garlic dipping sauce for the fries to switch it up. The salad was delicious, huge, and had some pretty high quality mixed greens. The feta was not like the cheap crumbly feta but the softer kind that was definitely in brine and tastes way yummier. Will definitely be adding this salad to my regular order! The garlic dipping sauce also became a favorite, only falling behind to old faithful European ketchup. European Republic is a reliable, consistent spot and I would highly recommend it. Portions are big, prices are affordable, taste is on point, and quality is great. You can't go wrong here!

Always welcoming atmosphere, helpful, and their wraps are down right delicious!! #Veggie Wrap #Smoked Salmon

Quite yummy!! Tried the spicy falafel wrap combo with fries and a drink. The wrap skin itself wasn't anything special but the falafel, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and sauce all went together great. Fries were crunch and delicious with the garlic dipping sauce!! Pretty small place but easy to walk over a few blocks to eat outside in the park. Worker was very nice. Went for lunch and food was ready in about 5 minutes and pretty inexpensive.

I try to eat here at least once a week and consider it a true hidden gem of Old City eating. They present an incredible value ($7 for a wrap, fries, sauce and drink) that is filling and a plethora of options that makes it very difficult to go anywhere else. The wraps themselves have always been consistently very good. While the chicken tends to be slightly dry the veggies have always been crisp and fresh. The fries themselves are the real star here. They are always perfectly salted, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The large number of dipping sauce options are all very tasty. My personal recommendation is the European Ketchup as it adds a sweet and slightly smoky flavor that compliments the salty fries quite well.

So delicious! Lovely little hole in the wall with FRESH and perfect fries, tons of yummy dips and casual soup and sandwiches. Would definitely come back

I love this place, the fries are the best not too crispy not to tender just right. It's small and close to my work. The kind young lady that works the counter let me know that they make the Dips from scratch! It's so hard to find good affordable food in Old City so the experience here is very refreshing.

I was a regular here when the business opened in 2009 and a change in work took me away from the area for last 10 years and I have not been back until today. I was happy to see that the business was still there and the staff's hospitality was top notch as always as I began to inquire about my upcoming order. The menu has great choices and I think the reason this food is so delicious is all of the many homemade sauces that they make each day. The spicy grilled chicken wrap is excellent as well as the chicken salad too. The European style hand cut fries are just delicious too. I cannot to stop in the next time I am in the neighborhood!

I had a pretty forgettable wrap. Basically just grilled chicken, sauce, in a wrap that started crumbling soon after I started eating. A single piece of lettuce. The chicken and sauce were ok. But poor wrap execution. Seems like they are more known for their fries.

European Republic is my go-to place for good and cheap eats in Old City. I think there is a lot of hype about their fries and dipping sauces, and I don't totally buy into it. Their fries are good, but I've certainly had better. The dipping sauce idea is cool, but a lot of them taste the same. Nonetheless, there are a bunch of sauces to try, and if you ask nicely, they'll mix two of the sauces together for you to create crazy combos. That may sound a little bit on the negative side, which is totally not where I want to go for this. Their wraps are always solidly delicious, and if you are looking for a filling lunch, their combo really can't be beat. You get a full size wrap, fountain drink, order of fries (which to me, is large enough for two people), and a choice of a dipping sauce. Prices vary depending on the wrap you choose, but I get the spicy chicken one and end up paying eight bucks total. Every time I've been in this place the employees have always been really great, which I definitely appreciate. If you want good food that doesn't break the bank in Old City, this is a great choice.

Amazing fries and sauces. Prices are so reasonable (esp the meals) and food is really good. My go to's are the fries (of course), the Greek salad (they use the real feta, not the hard salty stuff) and the mushroom barley soup. Big portions, quick and consistently good service. Highly recommend especially for lunch!

Good, filling wraps at a crazy affordable price. I love the straightforward attitude behind this little eatery. Just pick a wrap, a special sauce for your fries (go for the European ketchup -- I tried my friend's and it was awesome), a drink, and sit down. And don't forget the Yelp check-in discount, too!

This is my everyday lunch spot. The best of both worlds. The city and affordable good healthy food! Can't get any better than this .

BBEST greasy wraps. Only say greasy bc a normal wrap title doesn't do them justice. Prices are fab, wraps are big, and sauces are somethin special

Beware! Food sanitation violations galore! Maybe they're going for dark ages euro food.. Because the person who rings you up goes straight to making your food ... no hands washed, no gloves. I'm just glad I could see it from the area where you wait for your food. I'm sure my immune system cold use the boost, but it was a hard pass. Disappointed bc the reviews were hopeful!

(3.5 stars) We were searching for a snack to hold us over for a few hours at the American Revolution museum, and this was the perfect option. The fries are quite solid and a triple is plenty for a couple of people to share. A triple comes with three sauces, of which my two favorites were cajun and roasted garlic (sadly bbq was underwhelming). We also got some chicken fingers but those were just okay, very much like what you would get at a stadium (heavy breading).

Needed a quick snack so I stopped in here before checking out the Museum of the American Revolution (a quick walk down the road). I was so pleased we did. The European style fries (frites) were so crispy and fresh. They had a dozen choices for sauces, and I was having a lot of difficulty deciding what I wanted. The kind woman behind the counter was very patient and let me sample a few sauces before I made my choice. She let me get two sauces with the regular frites. I definitely appreciated her great customer service. I ended up going with the European ketchup and roasted garlic sauce. I would for sure come back here again to try more of the sauces on the menu and enjoy those amazing frites!

My order come after 2 hour.. i order penne allla vodka they give me rigatoni. What the hell? Cicken ok.. but rigatoni its not penne alla votka

I have been here more times than I can count, and I've always loved it. Their fries were always on point, their dipping sauces magical, and the wraps at least decent, usually very good. Then I went there after taking a little Old City hiatus and I was appalled. The service was terrible, the woman at the counter was incredibly rude. The trash was overflowing, the tables were scuzzy, and I felt like I was inconveniencing them by patronising their restaurant. She was scolding me for not wanting a soda, it made no sense. I ordered the meal combo; wrap, fries, and a soda. Okay, but I don't want a soda, so just a water. She "informed me" in a raised voice that she will still charge me for the water in addition to the meal. I don't understand, you're going to charge me for 2 drinks? I just want a water. So she huffily says it's fine, then charges me for it anyway! ??! What? No, lady, I pay for the combo, I get a drink. That's kind of how that works. So now she's pissed, the guy from the back has to come up and I tell him the same thing, I just want the combo with water instead of soda, is this really the craziest thing that's ever happened here? The guy tries to offer me a soda, when I tell him I ONLY want the water, not a soda too, he says it's fine, just pay for the combo and get a water. Like, literally less than no big deal. Oh Lord, I go to pay-- finally. And I only have a big bill. I just got paid, in cash, and I didn't have time to stop at the bank. I only have a $100 or a $50. She says she can't take it. At all. she can't take my money now. Well, it's a holiday, all the banks are closed and there's no MAC machines nearby. I can't give you anything else. This place is filled with customers, you're telling me that you don't have two $20s in your drawer? Fine, whatever, I'm not in the mood to argue with her.... again. I ask if they take cards, she snaps back, Of course they do! again, this is somehow also my fault. (?) Okay then, the card is all I have if you won't take my money. So without saying anything, she adds on a surcharge for the card and runs it, I notice when I go to sign... Hey, why is this more than what it's supposed to be? Again, she's mad that I had the audacity to ask why I'm being charged a different amount than what I ordered, I thought she was charging me for the soda + water. She starts in with how "I'm costing them money by holding up the line and now I'm not paying and OF COURSE there's a surcharge, why wouldn't there be and how dare you question me I wouldn't steal from you" and I was like are you kidding me? Now I'm definitely NOT paying a surcharge that I probably would have been fine with before you flipped out. Take my cash or comp my meal. I'm done. I'm so far beyond done. Guy from the back comes back out, tells her to take the cash, she's glaring the entire time she's counting out my change. Tells me to wait, it'll be right up. I've found a seat, with my back to the counter. I like to be able to see the door when I'm out and about. So they (dunno if her or him) put my food down on top of the bakery case, and don't say anything. Like, I'm supposed to divine when my meal is ready. After a few minutes, I get up to inquire if I'm actually going to get anything in return for my money and she points at my now cold food on the bakery case. AREYOUKIDDINGME. Whatever. I'm leaving, I'm furious and I just want to enjoy my food. What's on the tray? no water. no dipping sauce. The sauce is 90% of the reason to go here!!!! It's certainly not the service!!! So I go up to the counter.... AGAIN. Excuse me, I need the sauce and my water. she yells that I can get my own water, from the case. It's bottled water. ?? What? You have fountain sodas literally right next to you. Whatever. I'll take my bottle of water. the guy comes back out because the lady is yelling again. I tell him I need the dipping sauce. She's like, you really want free stuff? Really? No, crazy lady, I want what I paid for, this is crazy. Now the guy's pissed and he asks which one I wanted, I told him that I ordered the jalapeno one.... back when I placed this order. He slaps it down on the counter at me. I'm NEVER going back. I couldn't believe how INSANE that experience was. So if you don't mind getting secretly charged extra, getting screamed at, terrible service, and having a mediocre wrap with really good fries, check this place out!

Never got to try it. Placed an order at the counter on Wednesday night at about 7:40pm. 30 minutes goes by and still no food. I patiently waited because I assumed they were busy. Another 30 minutes passes and still no food and then I asked when it would be ready. I was told 15 min. 15 minutes later and they turn the lights out and close up shop without handing over the order I paid for. I'm usually a calm guy, but obviously I was pissed and ended up shouting and dropping f bombs explaining how long I waited. Maybe it was a huge misunderstanding or miscommunication as I do have a slight southern accent. Anyways, I will be disputing this charge with my credit card company. It's only $10 but it's all about the principle. I ordered goods that I never received.

I feel like I want to live off these wraps forever. Ordered delivery and it arrived still hot. We got the crispy chicken wrap with jalapeño sauce and the Buffalo chicken wrap, plus the frites. All were so good. The chicken was crispy and very juicy and the sauces were delicious. Pmit was 6.95 for the wrap and it definitely made for two servings for me so it was a really good deal! Will definitely be back to try different wraps and different dipping sauces for the frites.

Low prices & quick service. Eats like a fast and cheap lunch break from work. Tried the grilled chicken with honey mustard wrap. Was $4.95 and got served within a few minutes.

Probably the best value for a meal in Old City. About $8 gets you a wrap, fries, dipping sauce and a can of soda. Everything I have gotten here has been tasty but the spicy crispy chicken with mozzarella wrap is my favorite. The fries will smell up your entire place though (not in a bad way) so be warned if you don't get enough to share.

The food is more than reasonably priced, the selection is huge, and everything that I've tasted has been delicious. This little place is a neighborhood gem. Now what's less than ideal is the face that it's located a few blocks away from a high school that allows its students to leave campus for lunch. I showed up today and in typical high school kid fashion, they were everywhere and caused havoc in this tiny shop- making the lunch breaks if those of us trying to pop in on a work break less than desirable. Be mindful of the time in which you're here to avoid such mess.

Rocks, great prices amazing frites. I had an amazing wrap that made my afternoon. Chicken, mozzarella wrap is delicious.

This place was quite a nice surprise and definitely delivered on some good food! European Republicans is a small place that's great for lunch at a good price. Most of the items on the menu are different types of wraps that you can switch up. They are best known for their Belgian fries and variety of dipping sauces. The great thing about this place is you can get a combo meal that includes a wrap, fries, and drink for $8. The food is delicious and very filling. Everyone working there is very friendly and have great recommendations. Overall, a nice spot for some lunch for a good price!

Excellent!!!!! to my surprise this little gem exceeded my expectation for the following reasons: 1) the price for less than $8 you can get a decent meal. 2) the food was fresh 3) the sauces (highly recommend the basil sauce) 4) the price includes drink I have to say, the place is small, seating might be a problem for groups.

One of the few spots that wasn't slammed too much during Pride weekend and so my wife and I were happy to wait a few minutes in the AC while our wraps were prepared. The restaurant is not that large so seating might be at a premium when you visit. The woman behind the cash register was friendly yet still charged for a refill of our Sprite (in Cincinnati, free refills are almost universal). Ha! The food was fine, we were of course starving and dehydrated a bit so this food was perfect and healthy. I had the veggie wrap and I forget what my wife ate. Thanks European Republic for saving us from starvation and dehydration. :)
