Dad’s Stuffings

Bought a primo cut of beef here today and roasted it to the butcher’s specifications, after I asked him how to make sure it was rare. Robert was friendly, confident, and sexy, slicing and seasoning the meat right in view, and teaching me what to look for in a roast. They have history & pride, and it shows.

Super friendly staff, felt like a member of the family walkin in. Food was great, and the butcher was incredibly helpful and made some great suggestions

Try the meatballs or anything else for that matter…

The best sharp provolone in the world.
Lots and lots of options.
The best décor in the world.
I love Dad’s Stuffings.

Everything is delicious and the store is super clean. Everyone is friendly and just so nice. I have shopped here for many years. Always a variety to choose from. They have the best sausage I have ever tasted. Everything is just so fresh and delicious!

Great small place. They have great meats although if you didn‘t know they had meats you would probably not notice as the small store area has a selection of premade salads, entrees & sent from heaven chicken meatballs. Yes thats right-​CHICKEN meatballs.Outstanding.I really enjoyed chatting with the (owners?) crew so much, to be honest I didn‘t notice the pricing. The taste of my meats from the butcher dept was excellent and well trimmed, and the other food we had was ok. The chicken meatballs were morsels from above. The regular meatballs were good too. The salads were ok however the rice pudding was pasty and very dissapointing. Apart from the BAD rice pudding, my only negative of the place is that the pricing isn‘t clearly marked, so its a guessing game.(they do have a catering flyer up front with per lb prcing on the salads it turns out but nothing is clearly marked on the products and that is a negative for me).I would & did travel here from the shore. I enjoyed the banter & gossip and would probably stop in daily if I lived nearby.

I love this place. Wonderful combo of butcher, grocer and restaurant quality take out. I’ve gotten freshly ground veal, home made sausage, a fresh loaf of bread and a can of tomatoes during one trip.
My favorite has been the homemade sausage. The mozz/​basil combo is dynamite, along with (oddly enough) the buffalo wing sausage.

Awesome old school Italian corner food stop. I pop in for something comforting or some meat balls when ever I can.

Love Dad’s! I have been going here since I was a kid. They have the best chicken cutlets! I am also a fan of their pre– made foods. My favorite are the chicken stuffed with cheese and ham, or cheese and pepperoni. They are already cooked so when you get home you follow the directions on the package and you are ready to eat! All of their stuff is fresh!

You don’t need to have an Italian grandma to get delicious homemade Italian food. Dad’s Stuffing reminds me of the Italian Market, but without the crowd and rush. We walked over to pick up food for the Eagles game on Sunday, and came home with a bag of meatballs (still warm), a quart of tomato sauce (also fresh, and still warm), and a baguette. Very satisfying!
And FYI, you can buy the meatballs in any quantity you want. The man who was working (Dad?) explained that we could order a single meatball if we wanted. They’re so light and delicious though, I can’t imagine who would only want one.

A family friend had got us some long hots, mozarella cheese and stromboli from this place and I thought they were all very good. I immediately checked out the reviews here and came here last week. I wanted to get a chicken meatball sandwich. I did not realize that they just sold meatballs individually. However, the gentleman at the counter called someone inside and he agreed to make a chicken meatball sandwich with their homemade gravy. When the sandwich came out, I immediately realized that this was going to be my lunch and dinner. The first bite and I could tell this was the best meatball sandich I had eaten in my life. My search for the best meatballs in Philly have come to a grinding halt at this place. I don’t think anyone can make better meatballs than these guys. Absolutely the best.

The chicken meatballs are the best I have ever had. If I didn’t live in the neighborhood I would probably still drive miles upon miles to get them. The man who works behind the counter (Maybe Dad himself?) is really friendly and accommodating. This place is great!

If she was a good cook and made what Dad’s sells, pray your poor dead mother doesn’t know that you shop here occasionally But the truth is if Mom would have been objective, never happen, she would agree this is pretty good stuff. The chicken meatballs are great, either just fried or in red sauce. The sauteed greens, green beans and potatoes, sausages, eggplant parm etc. all very good. Confession? Never had the stuffing! I’m sure its good.

Dad’s Chicken Meatballs– there is no way to describe the happiness of these magic spheres. They are dense, chickeny, spicy, marry well with a variety of sauces, and are a good deal. Can’t remember the specific price per bag, but really, no one wants to roll five dozen tiny meatballs.
Lots of fresh/​frozen local pasta, homemade sauces, lots of prepared foods. Closes kind of early so get there before five. Right across the street from Potito’s bakery, home of the best Italian Rum Cakes anywhere. Use both of these spots and fake an authentic Two Street dinner! No South Philly Willy accent or tomato-​splattered walls neccesary.
