Inspired by the cuisines of Puebla and Veracruz, El Rey captures the essence of Mexican home cooking.

Here’s where you can take a breath while you take a sip of fine, loose-leaf teas and experience a cultural spin on traditional English High Tea fare.

Oh, and did we mention the live jazz music at our 1 pm Sunday seating?!Akwaaba Tea Salon and Event Space is the latest hospitality experience from Monique Greenwood, the former Essence magazine editor-in-chief who took the lodging industry by storm with the 1995 launch of her award-winning Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns, one of which is in Philadelphia, right down the street from the new tea salon and event space.

We're SERIOUS about fun food. That means despite our chill atmosphere, all our burgers and bites are hand-crafted from scratch and made-to-order. From our homemade buns to our hand-smashed 100% certified angus beef burgers, our food is meticulously hand-picked by Executive Chef Pryce Morhalo using only the freshest ingredients. We're raising the bar for casual dining. And frankly, we’re in a league of our own. Our Shoobie Shakes shook Philly. They're straight out of dream: a massive milkshake, swirled with whipped cream and fresh chocolate, rimmed with the dust of cookies or graham crackers, and topped with decadent desserts—an entire slice of cake, or a melt-in-your-mouth s’more. But these milkshakes aren’t just for kids. Our shakes deliver an unforgettable experience to cherish with someone special. Dietary restrictions? No problem. We're proud to offer a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making our dining experience exclusively inc

We love having dinner at Devon’Seafood Restaurant. This is one of our favorite restaurants. We hate to hear that they are closing at the end of the year. Thank you for the many years of memories, good food and excellent customer service.

The food was amazing and our server, Amer, was outstanding! As steakhouses go this was definitely one of the better ones we’ve enjoyed. Portion sizes for appetizers was great for sharing. We had several including the crispy shrimp, braised pork belly, calamari, chicken fried lobster, and meatballs. All were really yummy - the meatballs were probably the best I’ve ever had. Although Amer told us the salads were individually portioned, the Caesar salad was huge (plenty to share) and the beet salad could easily serve 2 or 3. Our steaks and my pork chops were cooked perfectly. Steak 48 will definitely be in the dining out rotation going forward.

Lovely staff and the food is really good. Happy Hour is great here but service is a little slow. Not a big deal if you’re not in a rush.

Love the outdoor, heated patio room. When I'm in Philly for business, I commonly take clients there. Relaxed atmosphere and able to have conversations without yelling. Great whiskey selection too.
