Medium Rare – Philadelphia, PA

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.
