For a foodie living in Philadelphia, there are a large number of old and new restaurants serving all kinds of foods. You can never run out of options—you can breakfast, lunch and dine at different restaurants every day of the month and there’ll still be new eateries to explore.  But most of the restaurants charge a high price for the ambience, service and food they serve, and most of them are worth the price. But sometimes you want to eat well and not pay a lot.

Below is the list of my favorite Philadelphia restaurants when I am looking for places that provide value for money. Most of them serve finger-licking fast food; while some let you eat as much as you want for unbelievably low rates.
