"Famous 4th Street Delicatessen, which is known for Jewish classics in gigantic portions, received a Bib Gourmand. They offer an a la carte menu, as well as to-go options. The Queen Village restaurant was purchased by Al Gamble from the original owner in 2024." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"A century‑old Jewish deli, included on the Bib Gourmand list." - Melissa McCart
"If you’re looking for a hot dog that fills you up like an entire meal, Famous 4th Street Delicatessen in Queen Village should be your first stop. It’s $8, but it’s a proper jumbo hot dog on a thick, New England-style potato bread bun. It also comes with toppings like sauerkraut, onions, and relish if you’re looking for some razzle dazzle. While you could dress it up with a towering amount of each and be fine—the sweet bun easily holds up—you don’t need to. It’s a state-of-the-art beefy creation even without all the extras." - candis mclean
"If breakfast for you means a bagel stacked with smoked fish, you should start your morning at Famous 4th Street Delicatessen. The Jewish deli is one of the best in Philly, and our favorite place for brunch in Queen Village. They don’t take reservations, but the line to sit down typically moves quickly. There’s no place in town stacking corned beef higher or spreading cream cheese thicker." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"If breakfast for you means smoked fish and a bagel topped with a scoop of cream cheese the size of your fist, you should start your morning at Queen Village’s Famous 4th Street. The classic Jewish deli is typically packed, but you always have the option to take your challah french toast or pastrami special to go (all while making your deskmates jealous)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
