• Burgers • 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.

    We were greeted immediately upon entering and it stayed excellent from there. Our waiter was pleasant & attentive. The food was delicious! I had 2 different cocktails, both were so good, I can't pick a favorite. My son had a mocktail that was equally fantastic! Ambience was relaxed but the atmospheric music was on point. Not too loud to have a normal conversational tone.

    We have been to Iron Hill several times, but wanted to try some things we have never ordered in the past. The Cheesesteak egg rolls & chicken lettuce cups were excellent. There was so much food we couldn't eat our dessert. Our server packaged it up for us to enjoy at home. Our server was very attentive. Great choice for restaurant week.

    We had a great time. We enjoyed the Christmas music and decor- glad we got to see it before they redecorate for Mardi Gras. Service and food were very good. We enjoyed the Christmas themed food, especially the Christmas burger and the turkey blt. Hope we can return to see their upcoming decor themes.
