New Wave Cafe — Restaurant in Philadelphia

7/17/20

My partner came her around 5PM on a Friday. There was outdoor seating available. The owner "Sam" immediately offered my service animal a piece of jerky and they accommodated him. We thank you for that. Sam is a very amusing, and friendly man and got my partner and I to laugh and feel comfortable trying out a new establishment. The server even brought extra cups of water that we could pour into his bowl so he could drink. I felt very comfortable as some restaurants are not so accommodating. Our server was very sweet, attentive, and did an amazing job. All the staff were so friendly. My service animal ordered the "Cheeseburger" with no bun or veggies and enjoyed it very much!

This has to be some of the tastiest food I've had in a while! It's on the 2nd time I'm eating out since March. I love that they have vegan options!

I ordered the "White Bean Hummus" which was amaaaazing. It was just the right consistency and flavor, it tasted FRESH and came with a great combination of veggies.

I also ordered the "Veggie Burger" which happened to be the Beyond Burger so it's wonderful for those of us with soy intolerance/allergies. Added jalapeño and our server had pickles thrown on there as well. I rarely review about a "Side Salad" but the balsamic dressing was soooo good and unique!

My date ordered the "Mozzarella" and the "Short Rib Grilled Cheese". I love how they come round shaped with such nice crunchy breading! He moaned after taking his first bite of the grilled cheese sandwich which is a huge sign he's satisfied.

We are both major foodies so for us to find a place where we both loved and enjoyed the food and could both easily find something to order was great. Prices were reasonable and portions large. We both had to box some food up for later. We would MOST DEFINITELY return again to this establishment and this has secured a place in a top choice and restaurant in Philadelphia to visit.

Keep up the great work guys and thanks for such an amazing and memorable experience! I recommend everyone to come here, you WON'T be disappointed and there is something for...

I do Door Dash sometimes and I had a dash here. Businesses need to not accept DoorDash orders if they do not have someone designated to take care of them. It is unfair to any human being, to have to fight with the rest of the customers at the bar to get a bartenders attention to get a delivery order. If you're going to serve food have someone that attends to the orders. To add insult to injury it seems like they did not even have that order in the system yet, after I already had waited 20 minutes after asking someone if the order was ready and them telling me "It seems like that order is still being prepared." It never was being prepared! A customer is still a customer rather they're ordering through door dash or they're dining in. The customer said that they ordered two hours ago. Just like your staff is working. I am working and you're killing my money because of your poorly ran establishment. Its not right and it's not fair that you made me miss a whole hour of work waiting on 1 order. I don't think any of your employees would like to work for free! I would never eat here I probably would be served cold food and have to wait 3 hrs to get a cup of water. I don't care if there's a game or not. Hiring more staff on game nights and holding training is...

New Wave Cafe was my first time going out to watch an Eagles game in Philly, and it was straight culture shock. I felt like I was watching a highly competitive college football game between two top 5 teams.

On an 11 yard gain the bar would EXPLODE like a 60 yard TD run, so imagine how crazy they went when Saquon Barkley actually housed a 60 yard TD lol. It’s only week 3, I can’t imagine what it’s like come playoff time.

New Wave pushed a TV up to the window for outdoor patrons, who didn't complain once about the glare that made the game borderline unwatchable.

We sat in the sun and I ordered some buffalo wings and a couple aperol spritz's as I need to get my last few in as summer fades away.

I was shocked at the quality of these wings. They were actually crack. The perfect amount of buffalo sauce, along with an ideal crisp on every bite. We almost ordered 10 more but had an early dinner, so we made a business decision.

As the Eagles began to get the game under control, the desperate cries of "WHAT THE HELL SIRIANI" turned to "Okay, great win, but we need to stay focused for Tampa after what Atlanta did to us..."

How can you not love Philly?
