Suppa

5 STARS!
Really worth every penny. Asked for their house favorite and they suggested me to their «Cubano Melt.» Definitely something my mouth never experienced. It was delicious and they don’t shy away from giving you a full plate. Best melt I had in awhile.
They know how to treat their guests right! While you’re waiting at a table you can look at their goofy ad lib books. You can read the material others scratched in or do an ad lib yourself. There’s also trivia cards you can play with. It’s fun for any party size!

A cozy byob spot with a delicious and diverse menu! How diverse, you ask? Well, our group of 4 ordered the Duck Poutine, Suppa Fried Chicken, Mac N Cheesy Goodness, Falafel Gyro and The Burger. See what I mean? Diverse.
The food was delicious and the portions filled our bellies. Our waitress was also very friendly.
I give Suppa 2 thumbs up and I recommend dining here if you’re up to trying new things!

Pretty cool place. Had a big party that they were able to accommodate. The service was slow and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My meal, a spaghetti squash pad thai was really underwhelming.

It’s so easy to get super full on the proportions here! The tator tots are HUGE and delicious. Suppa makes my FAVORITE fried chicken. And they now have a fried chicken sandwhich! Chef G was on the TV show Chopped. How cool is that! I’ve had the pleasure of talking to chef g and chef Angelo many many times now and they are both wonderful people with a good eye and a good pallet for food. They have featured dish on the board that cycle out every week. I last had the chili cheese dog egg rolls. Sooooo good when dipped in their cheese sauce. Stop in for lunch, dinner or brunch on the weekends. It’s byob and they have orange jucie for mimosa and bloody Mary mix. Love this place!

This place makes me happy. It’s fast and warm. Serves upscale comfort food. What else could I want in my neighborhood? Love all the sides. I love anything with cheese curds, and so the duck poutine is definitely on my list. Tater tots 5 times the size of normal. Love.
I could get used to eating here…

I don’t normally write reviews and I WISH I could write a good one however I ordered from grubhub today a friend chicken dinner. Came to my door, enjoyed it until I realized the center was raw and bloody still. Called just to let them know not expecting a refund or anything. They just seemed baffled and like I was lying. Sigh. I know this happens once in a while, but it’s frustrating when they don’t believe a good will «hey just check your chicken» phone call. Won’t be going here again and won’t recommend.

It has only been a couple of days since I moved to Philly, but I think the quality of the restaurants is starting to impact my expectation level. If this place were in D.C. 5 stars would absolutely on the table, but there were a couple of things that took it off. First, the positives…
— Burger was a freaking standout. Juicy, large, and full of flavor. The choice of cheese really made this burger one to remember.
— Beverage choices — This while BYO thing is going to take some getting used to. As much as I would love to lug my 1.5L bottle of Everclear around… I will probably have to scheme better. That being said, the cream soda I had brought back many good memories from cracker barrel visits of yesterday.
— Service/​Prices/​Atmosphere. All rock solid. Very much enjoyed the random trivia cards.
I keep it at 4 becuase I didn’t really enjoy the homemade ketchup nor the tots that came with the burger. I will absolutely be back to scarf down the friend chicken that I saw at the tables around me.

Northern Liberties is known for its great food and cozy brunch spots, and Suppa definitely falls into that category! Right on Liberties Walk, the ambience is great, even early in the morning for brunch. I had ordered the Country Biscuit which entailed ham, biscuits, honey mustard and some other ingredients that were delicious. The service was great as we were the only people in the restaurant for a good bit. Overall, a great locals spot, I’m looking forward to having dinner there soon!

It was good but I wasn’t overwhelmed. Maybe it’s because I just ordered the spinach salad and I’m usually more fun than that.
The fried mac & cheese wontons were to die for though!

Suppa had one of the more interesting offerings for Restaurant Week, which is why my wife and I found here on a Friday evening in August 2015. The restaurant had seating outside and being a nice evening, we preferred that option.
Looking through the menu, we decided that one of us would go for the Restaurant week offering while the other of us would order ala carte from the menu. It was nice to have that option and I think not all restaurants have that option when a RW is in progress. The RW menu we chose consisted of crab fritters, mac n’ cheese, ricotta cavatelli, and choice of a dessert item. It was nice of them to also include a beverage in the offering. From the ala carte menu, we went for the duck poutine and the cubano melt sandwich.
The first comment is that the food took a long time to come out. The restaurant was quite busy on a Friday evening and we could only see one server doing the rounds. The first dish to come out were the crab fritters. They were crispy and hot but as my wife puts it, there did not seem to be any crab meat in it. I thought I had found some traces of crab when I first took a bite but I could certainly see what my wife was saying. The next two dishes to come out were the mac n’ cheese and the duck poutine. Both dishes were tasty and as the poutine is not something I have often had before, I enjoyed the novelty of the dish. What surprised us were the huge portions. Even though I was very hungry, I decided to not finish all of my duck poutine and leave some room for the other things we had ordered. The cubano melt sandwich was also very nice. The bread was well toasted and the ham, pulled pork and cheese all went nicely together. The cavatelli pasta was quite flavorful too. Finally, when it came to the dessert, we were so full, we just had a cupcake to go and had it at home.
Positives:
1. Interesting and eclectic menu.
2. Huge portions — I could have a full lunch based on what was leftover from the meal and even then there were some leftovers.
3. Reasonable prices — For what was being served, prices were reasonable.
Negatives:
1. Pretty slow service: We got in at around 9:20 p.m. and left at around 11 p.m. Certainly we were enjoying the evening and lingered on but then a part of the delay can be explained by how long it took for things to come out.
2. Waters were not refiled promptly. In one instance, my wife requested a glass of water and the waiter, absent-​mindedly perhaps, just left her with a glass full of ice. It wasn’t until another 5 mins. or so after we could hail the waiter that we were able to have our glasses filled.
Overall, this is the kind of place I would be very excited to have in my neighborhood. I wouldn’t have the hassle of having to drive and search for parking and that would make it easy for me just to swing by for perhaps a sandwich or maybe one of their brunch items over the weekend. It is certainly a place I would like to return to.

Solid brunch place in NoLibs, it’s a little bit off the beaten path which I like because it keeps it a little hidden gem. There are about 20 seats maybe inside and about that many outside. It was pretty hot the day we went so we decided to sit inside. The servers were knowledgeable and nice and the service was attentive. For food we went with the cinnamon pull aparts, the brunch burger, and the egg sandwich. Everything was really, the burger blend they use is really good, the burger had a good beefy flavor and the bacon is just awesome, I would just get a side of that. The potato roll it was on held up well and the breakfast sandwich was also very good. Definitely a good place to hit for brunch we will have to wander in here one night have a dinner.

Love this place! A northern liberties favorite. The chef won Chopped so all of the dishes are inventive twists on American classics.
My dish of choice would be their falafel with a side of french fries. There are vegan and vegetarian options so there is really something for everyone!
Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area (and even if you’re not)!
Oh, and it’s BYO but they have amazing drinks you can use as mixers!

Looking for place to eat with a couple of friends, I stumbled upon Suppa. I browsed the menu and once I saw the duck poutine fries, I knew I would like this place. BYOB plus what looked like an awesome menu had my friends and I intrigued. We quickly called the Über since we were lazy and didn’t want to walk to miles. When we got there, it was sunny Sunday evening at 7:30pm and the restaurant was completely dead from the outside. Not the greatest sign but with wine and beer in hand, we continued into the restaurant. When we opened the door, we noticed it was hotter inside than it was outside. What’s going on, AC down? We’ll just eat outside.
We proceeded to order; duck poutine fries, jumbo wings, two sloppy joes. We asked for a couple of wine glasses and beer glasses for your byob as well.
Duck poutine fries came out first (⁴⁄₅) — Fries were satisfying and hit the spot. The duck itself was soft and fatty as expected. Cheese was on point but fries slightly softer than how I would have liked it. The gravy was a little thin and could have used some roux.
Jumbo wings (3.5÷5) — Crispy, well cooked, but a touch too sweet and one dimensional. A bit of spice would have helped here.
Sloppy Joe with tots (2.5÷5) — Menu says that this isn’t gonna be like your typical sloppy joe but I found it to be similiar to the ones I ate in the cafeteria as a kid. The tots themselves were big and a nice addition but I prefer fries.
The food was fair, I would come out again to try some of their other items. But the service during our meal was a let down. When the beer glasses came out, they were extremely warm. Water cups were never filled, busboy was unnecessarily awkward and was clearly inexperienced. Bill couldn’t be split because there was an issue with the system. I’ll come to give it another shot. Hopefully service will be better.

AMAZING homemade goodness.
Menu is unique and they have rotating specials that rock.
Working across the street from them is dangerous, in a good way.
BYOB

We came here with a group of 10 (after changing the reservation many times), and the restaurant was kind enough to seat all of us promptly, even on a busy Saturday night. The service was impeccable, as the waiters put up with our debauchery and promptly gave us water and wine glasses. Full stars for the BYO environment and delicious food; yes, the restaurant is a little out of the way, but the affordable food is worth it. I tried a friend’s poutine for the first time, and was blown away, as I was by my personal order of the char siu pork sandwiches. Most entrees come with popcorn, of which I wasn’t really a huge fan, but you can substitute for tater tots or fries for a little extra charge. The portions of the entrees aren’t that big, but are tasty; meanwhile, the sides of the appetizers/​sides are completely worth it.
The tables also have mad libs and trivia, for your entertainment while you wait for your food! Now that I think about it, our food took a while to come, but I think we were all so distracted by the wine and trivia that we didn’t care…
Great service.

Came here last night and waited 20 minutes for a french press coffee, 10 minutes for a second cup (an empty one) 45 minutes for an appetizer and over an hour for 5 entrees. When we told the waiter we had plans and we wanted to know how much longer it would be he responded that «he did not know. Couldn’t (or wouldn’t) give us a time and that they make everything in house and have a very small kitchen.» We all work in the service industry in Manhattan and Brooklyn, which is known for having small kitchens, our business would close if we ever had those excuses for extreme wait times.
Not only is it crazy that they couldn’t tell us how long our food was going to be but the maximum amount of time an entrée should take to come out is no less than 30 min. Also guys, there is something called prepping, you can’t tell me that the sauce in a sloppy joe is made to order. Then he adds that next time (there will never be a next time) we need to tell them we are in a rush so they can give us priority. So basically waiting over an hour for food is our fault. Also can I mention that 20 minutes into being seated there were no tables ahead of us and about 5 – 6 tables occupied after us! Needless to say it put us all in a crappy mood. We had to eat quickly and get out of there.
It’s a shame because the menu was cute, as was the décor and thought put into atmosphere the restaurant. I loved all the little touches like mad libs at the tables and blow pops with your bill. Also, great outdoor seating. It’s a shame the experience was so poor.

Food was fantastic. Or «phenomenal» as my co worker described it. Service was fast and friendly. The place was almost empty for a Tuesday lunch. We had the pretzels with pimento cheese and the pierogis for appetizers. The pretzels got second place in my book but it was close. The sloppy joe was the main course. Very solid. Nothing unusual but I appreciated that. The tomato jam for the tater tots was quite tasty. We finished off with the berry cheesecake brownie. Good, but wish I had tried something else.

Hidden Gem in Northern Liberties.
The menu is unique and delicious. I’ve come here multiple times and never disappoints. The owners and staff are super friendly too and deliver an awesome experience.
Come here for brunch too– I had trouble picking a dish because too many things sounded good!

The good:
* Server was great and attentive
* Trivial pursuit and mad libs at the table, making waiting fun.
* BYO makes for a fun brunch
* Grilled cheese was delicious
* Pricing is just right
The bad:
* Ordered the mac and cheese but it never arrived
* Tater tots are homemade but about 5x too large, which makes for a mushy tator tot.
Overall, meal was good and I would go back if I was in the area but wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to go again.

I love brunch and everything about it, from savory egg dishes to fluffy pancakes and of course mimosas. I’ve recently decided I’d much rather brunch than go to dinner so I’ve been traveling all over the city in search for the good stuff. We arrived to a moderately full restaurant, Suppa is very small in size but there were at least 2 open tables and 3 outdoor seats open so we sat out in the sunshine. I’m torn between 3.5 stars and 4 I’m rounding because our food was very good and sometimes that counts for more than service. We waited quite some time (more than 15 minutes) for our server to come over and take our drink orders so I went in search of booze.
Suppa is byo and not far from the state store on Girard so I picked up a bottle and arrived shortly after my dates oj.
We decided on corn beef hash, 3 eggs and the Nutella banana French toast. Our server
advised us that the portions are very big but my date eats a lot and explained polishing off two entrees would be cake for him. We had to ask more than 2 times for ice and glasses which was annoying but there appeared to only be one server working. As the indoor tables stared to clear out we saw more and more of our server and service became a little better .
It took about 25 – 30 minutes after we ordered for out food to come but when it did I was very impressed with everything except my eggs (I specified very runny over easy egg) the yolk was way over cooked. The potatoes redeemed Suppa as did the French toast. I would probably come back maybe super early to beat the brunch crowd.
Though service moved like my 96 year old great great aunt our server was very sweet and really tried to keep up with the demand.
