Had a delightful experience today at Little Pete’s! We decided to head over around noon and were happily surprised that there was no wait time on NYD. The host led us to this 2 seater corner booth and our server, Bessy, quickly tended to us. Bessy is extremely sweet and attentive, she made sure our needs were met the entire time we were sat! She has a fabulous sense of humor and table side manner that only comes with a fabulous personality in combination with years of serving experience. I cannot say enough kind things about her!

I had a really nice time dining alone at Little Pete's. I had my first authentic Philly Cheesesteak. Although I have nothing to compare it to, it was amazing. Nice crust on the bun, moist meat etc. Cathy was very friendly and I appreciated the conversation as well.

It's a fantastic place. Extremely friendly staff and a genuine warm atmosphere. Good selection on the menu and the soups were freshly made. It appears very popular with the local community.As a foreigner, it felt we were in an actual American bar/diners rather than the touristy ones in Old Town.As a tourist, it was a great location between Eastern State penitentiary and Art Gallery/Rocky stairs.

The sirloin steak here is absolutely delicious! My husband and I give this place all stars, despite the fact that the restaurant itself needs an upgrade....its still a comfortable, and very clean atmosphere, waitresses are awesome, and the food is delicious and reasonable...enjoy!

Super great people, sat me down right away. Fast service, food took about 10 min to come. Everything was fresh and hot! Loved the burger, its incredibly good, fries as well. If your visiting Philly defiantly come back, food is relatively cheap at about 15 a plate. Super clean and bathrooms in the back.

The best food and service I’ve had in a while. We had a local waitress who looked after us so well. Food was also amazing, I had a full menu with a soup and a salad, a drink and desert.I recommend the tuna steak, absolutely mouth watering

Little Pete's always has a wonderfully positive atmosphere, regardless of the time of day or day of the week. The portions are generous, and the food quality is consistently excellent. Chris, the bartender, is always kind, polite, and fun.
