EaterJanuary 8, 2014Its latest iteration is a cozy bar putting out a menu full of New Orleans flavors that are consistently tremendous. The menu is just as friendly to vegans as it is to meat-eaters. [Eater 38 Member]
Heidi HenryJuly 10, 2017Wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when looking for vegan food. Boy was I surprised! All options were clearly marked and there were plenty of items to choose from. Delicious. Recommend.
MarcApril 3, 2016Food & Wine Best Burgers in Philly: 1-time music venue; menu blends New Orleans-style Creole w/American. Come for the beers & Khyber burger: an angus beef patty w/bacon, smoked cheddar &Creole mustardUpvoted Oct 24- Elizabeth RiceAugust 29, 2014Loved everything I have had here! Brunch choices are great. Loved the soft shell crab po boy and the side of Mac and cheese. OMG that Mac and cheese is flipping amazing! Good craft beer menu too
Daniel WilkinsonAugust 11, 2014One of the best places in Philadelphia for a few beers with friends and coworkers. The playlists are amazing, I always here a good 5 or more songs that I love.
Follow FoodieAugust 2, 2015The wings are brined, smoked, grilled, then fried. These juicy lil bastards make my mouth water. I go for the combo, but my favorite are the habanero.
Chris PolloneMay 16, 2015Good place to find Cajun/southern food. Bartender was super cool. Think his name was Rich. I'll be back.
If you're looking for a great place to get delicious food and a beer in Old City, definitely come here. They always have a wide variety of beers on tap and their BBQ is amazing.
The po'boys will feed even the hungriest diner. I get three meals out of one. The bartenders and servers are great and have low turn over. They will remember you (for better or worse!)- Follow FoodieAugust 2, 2015Pulled pork? Yes please. Ribs? Yes, I think I'll have those too. Chicken? How can I say no? Maybe a little brisket too? Fine, but no more after that. Oh, and maybe just a little mac-n-cheese. ;)
RJ DeMarcoDecember 16, 2014Wow. Beef BBQ and collard greens are fantastic. Smiles all around. Everyone loved the food. Great beer. The saison was perfect.
HumaSeptember 14, 2013Loved the vegan po boy and the vegan pulled pork sandwich. They also have cask beer on the menu, mmm.
- Pulled Pork nachos are the best nachos I've ever had in my life! Sweet potato fries with debri are also pretty delish. Not for those on a diet
Steven MartinhoDecember 9, 2018The boudin and eggs. Perfect. Also those hash browns are perfectly cooked.
JaimJanuary 14, 2014Brunch is always amazing. Brisket hash is must try, not to mention the banana foster french toast. Oh, biscuit and gravy too!!
Khyber has one of the best beer lists—anywhere. And it’s continually changing. And I love a place that serves brunch until 4 PM!
Meg FrankowskiOctober 10, 2012Vegan BBQ "pulled pork" nachos rock! Did I mention the awesome bartender knew the history of the place? Did I mention my MOM drank here when she was my age? #HistoryNerd- ForthfoxSeptember 30, 2014Vegan sausage + Yards IPA + good music + dark atmosphere at the bar. These are a few of my favorite things. (F*ck whiskers on kittens.)

The service is a bit unorganized and slow, but the beer selection and food is awesome. Great southern food (try the fried shrimp po boy!) and frequently rotating taps. Read more
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011The Khyber's been revamped! Munch on some bacon-grease popcorn while you look over the newly redone menu and expanded tap list. Read more- Jeannette L.June 26, 2015Po' boys are really good here. If you get one, try the fried okra as your side. Very satisfying meal!
The smoked duck, cashew butter, and pepper jelly sandwich is amazing.
MICHAEL RYAN LAWRENCEJuly 14, 2010I snuck into the Khyber as a teenager to see live music. So if you're a kid that's underage and wants to check out a Classic Philly Music Venue.. with a great tap list.. Try and sneak in :)
sara mae pickleAugust 21, 2023good atmosphere & beer selection. i recommend the charcuterie board & jambalaya. wish they didn’t have any paper menus- not very sanitary. not a good place to go if you want to hear convo. loud 🎶
Visit PhillyMarch 25, 2011Southern-inspired fare like fried chicken, barbecue ribs and po’ boys of every variety are paired with an impressive beer list at this rock-club-turned-pub.
Tristan RhodesideSeptember 22, 2016Great selection of beer and BBQ. I recommend the bacon fat popcorn and po' boys- Follow FoodieAugust 2, 2015If you are vegan, look no further than vegan fried chicken and their selection of vegan side dishes.
AllisonNovember 22, 2013Mmmm for the BBQ ribs and pork. Tasty sides. Good beer (kwok) and Pissed Jeans band member tending bar.
The half-fried oyster, half fried shrimp po-boy is basically it. You don't need to taste anything else ever anymore. So good.

Tina LoftJune 29, 2013BRISKET!!! Their brisket is amazing and so is the Mac n cheese. Would high recommend
Adam ChurchwellApril 21, 2010This place is awesome. Awesome Regional and Nationals come through here and the upstairs has $10 all you can drink Sundays. When I played here the sound was awesome and the crowd was great
34th Street MagazineFebruary 17, 2012Reborn as a gastropub, the Kyber serves up cheap and delicious soul food. Get a sandwich and stock up on sides. Read more
The Brisket Sandwich is fantastic... go with the Mac and Cheese as a side. Ask for extra barbecue sauce, all three types are awesome!
Jennifer HaveyMay 4, 2013The pulled pork was a little too smoky for my taste, but the fried shrimp po boy was fantastic!
