• Southern • South Street
REX at The Royal provides guests with transformed southern fare, a full bar, daytime cafe and curated bottle-shop housed in the historical Royal Theatre, known as a staple in the rich cultural history of the City of Philadelphia for its role as a hub for Black culture and artistry, including film-making and live music, during the 20th century. REX at The Royal, now operating out of the newly-renovated theatre, maintains key tenets of the historical site including a stage for live music performances, as well as sweeping arches and other details sustained from the original design. REX at The Royal cuisine pays homage to the great early 20th-century African-American chefs who adapted traditional southern fare to Philadelphia’s urban landscape. The concept’s foundation lies in the Lowcountry cuisine of the Southeast Atlantic coast, influenced as it was by the grains and traditions of the African diaspora melded with the local agriculture and fisheries.

    This has been one of the more enjoyable outings I’ve had in a while. The service staff is exceptionally nice. They were accommodating, helpful, and so kind. We were running a few minutes so I called and let them know- they were super understanding and told us to get there when we could but mostly to get there safely. The table next to us that the previous couple had just left and I asked if we could move over, that wasn’t a problem. We had ordered some happy hour items and took our time ordering and there was no pressure to get everything in the first time around. The food was so good, as expected but for me the service and kindness really set the night up for a good time.

    I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
