If you’re in Surf City, definitely check out Wally’s—just a block from the beach and serving up good vibes and great food for over 50 years! 🌊🍴 It’s family-owned, super clean, has friendly service, and a chill atmosphere that fits perfectly with the LBI vibe.

Tried their award-winning Rhode Island Chowder 🥣—a tomato-based red chowder packed with clams, whitefish, veggies, potatoes, and a seriously tasty blend of seasonings. No surprise it took home the ’23 & ’24 Chowder Cook-Off win! 🏆

Also had the Whiskey Burger 🍔 with American cheese and crispy fried onions—so good and totally hit the spot. Only wish they had fresh-cut fries, but everything else was awesome.

Bonus: Wally’s is one of the few places on the island that stays open all year round, so you can get your fix even in the off-season. 🙌🌴

If you haven’t checked out Verdant Cafe in Hi-Nella yet, definitely add it to your list! 🌿 It’s a casual, takeout-only spot with a super calming vibe—tons of beautiful plants everywhere that make picking up food feel like a little escape. 🪴✨

We ordered ahead online (heads up: definitely give them some time since everything’s made fresh to order), and it was so worth the wait. ⏳🍽️

Tried the chicken parmigiana sandwich—perfectly crispy and flavorful, 🍗 chicken tenders that were seriously excellent, and their house-seasoned waffle fries were delicious. 🍟 Everything was made with care and the prices were really reasonable. 💸

Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and a chill, plant-filled atmosphere (even if it’s just for pickup)! 😌🌱

🍜 Discover Oriental Palace in Lawnside, NJ 🍣

If you’re in the mood for a little bit of everything, Oriental Palace has you covered! From flavorful Asian cuisine to hibachi, sushi, and a full bar, there’s something for everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of trying a few dishes, and here’s what stood out:

  • Wonton Soup: Warm, savory, and comforting with a perfect balance of broth and delicate wontons.
  • Double Cooked Sauteed Pork with Cabbage: A savory, crispy delight with a touch of spice and richness.
  • Szechuan Chicken: Packed with bold flavors and the perfect level of heat, this dish hit all the right notes.

What I love about Oriental Palace is that it offers a more elevated dining experience compared to your typical takeout neighborhood spot, yet the prices are still totally reasonable. Whether you’re craving sushi, hibachi, or something more traditional, this place is worth checking out.

Medium Rare – Philadelphia, PA

Posted on September 24, 2025 by Bluejeanfood

✨ New Alert: Medium Rare recently landed in Philly and wow it’s a must-try! 🥩🍟🍨

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020–2025, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2025, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-25, Top Philly Food RSS Feeds 2024-2025, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-25 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

It’s rare I talk about chains, but Medium Rare isn’t your typical steakhouse and their new spot in Fishtown is absolutely worth the hype. 👏

For those who don’t know, Fishtown is one of Philly’s most creative, buzzing neighborhoods full of indie vibes, amazing street art, cool coffee shops, and now one of the most fun (and affordable!) steak dinners you’ll ever have.

🔪 About Medium Rare
Originally from DC, this mini chain has built a cult following for doing one thing really well, steak frites. The menu is set and simple:
🥖 Warm rustic bread
🥗 Mixed green salad
🥩 Tender steak with their signature secret sauce
🍟 A mountain of golden fries

You can add a few extras too. I added the grilled mushroom, and it was absolutely worth it. Umami heaven. 🍄

Everything came hot and fresh, and the whole experience feels fancy but is incredibly budget-friendly, which is rare these days. (notice the Rare puns)

And don’t sleep on dessert. The Ice Cream Sundae was a delightful treat to end the night. 🍨 Classic, nostalgic, and totally hit the spot.

🍷 Great cocktails, chill atmosphere, and friendly service make this place feel special without the pretense. Whether it’s date night, catching up with friends, or treating yourself, Medium Rare in Fishtown is the move.

📍 Trust me and go. You’ll eat like royalty, feel like a local, and probably start planning your next visit before the check even arrives.

Again, in 2024, Small Bites with Donato Marino and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com was blown away by winning the Best of the Best in the Philadelphia Region Arts & Entertainment category out of 80,000 votes tallied in total through Metro Philly’s Best of Philadelphia for 2024.

If you’re ever driving around Pennsauken, NJ, keep your eyes peeled for Just Like That — it’s tucked away in a tiny strip mall, and unless you know exactly where to look, you’ll be driving around in circles trying to find it! But trust me, it’s worth the hunt.

Ever heard of Rasta Pasta? If not, you’re in for a treat! I recently tried their Jerk Chicken Rasta Pasta, and it was a game-changer. Imagine a perfect blend of Italian and Jamaican flavors — penne pasta, jerk-infused cream sauce, and loads of fresh, colorful veggies like bell peppers. The result? A vibrant, flavor-packed dish that’s definitely something different and absolutely delicious. Definitely not your typical pasta! 🏝️🍝🌶️

So, if you’re in the area and craving something unique, make sure you swing by Just Like That!

Had a family‑style Italian feast at Pop’s Trattoria in Audubon where the Chicken Parmesan was perfectly breaded and melty, the Fried Calamari was delightfully crispy, the Italian Onion Soup was rich and comforting, the Antipasta showed off savory meats, cheeses, and marinated veggies, and the Roasted Pork Orecchiette wowed with tender pork, vibrant pasta, and bold flavors all in one bite. It’s old‑school Italian‑American with a South Philly soul, owned by a French‑trained chef who turned Café Le Jardin into Pop’s in May 2025 and the restaurant buzzes with fast, friendly service, BYOB vibes, and a warm, authentic atmosphere that makes every dish feel extraordinary. Definitely a must‑visit Italian destination.
