Rybrew

Great sandwiches good selection of brews. The staff is really nice overall the place has a friendly easy going atmosphere.

Im from los angeles California and honestly philly has been really good to my wife and i! And this spot is the place to eat a great sandwich!!! You guys are awesome and awesome service as well. THANK YOU PHILADELPHIA and RYBREW!!! FROM ELVIS AND KATHERINE

Rybrew has been one of the earliest additions to the Brewerytown area of Philadelphia. As a 3 year resident now, any place that can solidify itself on Girard Ave. for more than a year, I’m more than appreciative of.
Rybrew is first and foremost a sandwich shop. A delicious one. I almost always get the «Buffalo» which is a shredded buffalo chicken sandwich, with your choice of bread or cheese (get Gorgonzola and Ciabatta!). My friends have tried many other meals and raved about them all. They have rotating specials as well which I have dabbled in and never been disappointed. My girlfriend would like to chime in and say «GET THE SANTA MONICA OR THE BLT AVOCODO!» Take this advice with a grain of salt though … «NO YOU DON’T NEED TO ADD SALT, THEY’RE PERFECT!» (That was her again… sorry.)
Rybrew also has a fantastic amount of single can/​bottle beers. You can mix and match your own six packs or just stop in to have a few at the variety of tables. There is a common high top in front, some lower window front seating, small group space at the back and individual tables upstairs which overlook the cook line and front of house.
There are occasionally different events here like Open Mic’s and beer tasting. I’ve taken part in both! If you like some acoustic originals and covers, come on down next time they host it!

Cool place. Nice ambience and amazing service. The kids got a good grill cheese and I got some interesting beers to take home.

Delicious food and great beer selection. I flew in from out of town and love trying new local beers. The staff showed me quite a few different local beers to choose from and I couldn’t be happier.

Good sandwiches, nice selection of bottled craft beers, and fair prices. Overall I would give the food and selection 4 stars, but the ambiance brings it down to a 3. I came in wanting to eat inside but the place was so incredibly smoky (open kitchen in the front) and unwelcoming that I ended up just eating in the car.

Rybrew is such an amazing place, from the employees always greeting you with a smile as they take your order, to hand delivering you for food; regardless of where you’re sitting, whether it is upstairs or down, they go above and beyond their call.
The food is amazing. From a simple caesar salad to their Vietnamese banh mi, it is delicious! I always find myself going for their amazing Rybrew crab sandwich, the sauce they use in it makes my mouth water, just thinking about it.
They also have a lovely selection of teas and coffee. The area is perfect for studying or just people watching, did I mention they also have a large selection of beers?
This place has a huge place in my heart, and stomach.

Very personable staff, great selection of beers, and did I mention the sandwich I just had? You’ve gotta try the Rybread sandwich, especially if you like crab!

Cool little sandwich and beer shop. Great selection of craft bottles for a very reasonable price. Grabbed a Cuban sandwich and was pleasantly satisfied. Good flavor, good bread, pork was a little dry but overall a solid meal. Will definitely go back! Eat it!

Sandwiches are always made to order. Great food, friendly service and an obvious willingness to make your experience a good one.
The food is great and so are the people.

The Rybread menu + beer = Rybrew.
I’m a huge fan of Rybread’s sandwiches so adding beer to the mix made it even better. I’ve tried a few of their sandwiches, but my favorite lately has been the San Diego panini. It’s filling and I love the combo of chicken, pesto, provolone, and red pepper.

I must say I was quite hesitant to try this place since I have not had great experiences at their sister establishment but I was quite pleasantly surprised. The service was great and accommodating. They have lots of beer to chose from for carryout or just to go along with your sandwich (very tasty). Even have a little outdoor seating in front where you can watch the trolleys go by.

Great so glad to have in our neighborhood
The best sandwiches
Lots of beer
Fancy gourmet sodas and chips
Baked goodies for your sweet tooth
Great staff too

Cool and cheap vegan hummus veggie Sammy. Friendly vibe and fast service! Crazy beer selection as well. I’ll be back.

stopped in here after a meeting. this place is great! such a great beer selection and their sandwiches are so damn delicious!
friends got the philadelphia, san diego, kansas city and hollywood. everybody was happy with their choices and they all looked very yummy. i was torn between the kansas city and charlotte but since my friend got the kansas city, i opted for the charlotte. the kansas city is a bbq pulled pork with coleslaw sandwich. i got a bite off of my friend’s and it was really good. not super heavy either which is really odd for a pulled pork sandwich.
i got the charlotte sandwich which is a turkey sandwich with pickles, red onions and honey mustard… damn! i was NOT disappointed with my decision. so damn delicious!
the cashier was a little awkward but nice still. next time i’m in brewerytown, i will be making a stop here! also, wanna try rybread in fairmount at some point.

In terms of food, features a fantastic assortment of salads and sandwiches. I currently don’t have a favorite but I’m trying a different one each time I go. Each time, I’ll update this review with my latest reviews.
Rybread: Excellent crab cake and fixings. Just wish I had more each time I finish it.
Denver: If you’re looking for a solid chicken salad sandwich, this isn’t it. It needs something else, perhaps ketchup?
San Antonio: Pretty solid roast beef sandwich save for the overpowering horseradish flavor.
Kansas City: excellent and juicy pulled-​pork sandwich! As a Kansas Citian, I approve whole heartedly.
Napa: Absolutely delicious combination of mozzarella, pesto, and tomato slices. The balsamic glaze really ties it all together well. ***GET IT GRILLED.
San Fran (Panini): A very salty but tasty sandwich. I would say it needs a thicker slice of mozzarella or more tomato to thicken it.
Plymouth: Excellent stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce combination on great multigrain bread. It’s very dense but exactly what you need if you are craving a classic Thanksgiving sandwich in July.

As for the salads, I’ve tried the Caesar, Hampton, and Austin. They’re all bursting with flavor and large in terms of portions. They’ll feed you as a meal alone. I’d recommend adding chicken to your Caesar (if you enjoy that).
Favorite? The Hampton — The roasted tomatoes and pesto make it for me!

What a great little gem this place is, I wish there were more around! Unilocal suggested it after a trip to the zoo when we were searching for a close place — thank Unilocal!
The first thing we noticed was the huge and vast selection of beer, probably every kind I know of and many I don’t. Its the perfect place to try something new beer-​wise or find your favorite brew. Everything is pretty well priced also.
It proved difficult to make a choice off of the extensive salad/​sandwich/​panini menu because everything looked so good. I got the Santa Monica (basically a BLTA) and substituted the chipolte mayo — it was amazing! Others in my group got the San Diego, Lake Tahoe, New York and the soup of the day. Everyone was more than happy with their sandwiches and the bag of chips we split. The portions are large, and the product seems very fresh.
The staff was super friendly and helpful and didn’t mind little twerks in the orders. It should also be noted that they are super friendly to the gluten free diet, looking at the menu online you wouldn’t be able to tell but they have gluten free bread, and other gluten free choices that made one member of our party (who sometimes has trouble eating out) very happy!

Do you like sandwiches that are crafted with magic and rainbows? Well, if you do Rybrew is the place for you. This lovely little shop marries well crafted sandwiches with a large beer selection. Who could ask for anything more?
The Kansas City (pulled pork sandwich with red cole slaw) is hands down the best pulled pork I have ever eaten. I am currently writing a rock-​opera that captures my love of this sandwich.
The Buffalo (buffalo chicken with mozzarella) was mellow, but savory. The shredded carrots that dressed the sandwich gave the meal a good crunchy texture.
Rybrew offers a wide selection of beers. In fact the selection of beer is so enormous that it can seem overwhelming. However, the staff is kind enough to answer questions about the brew.
For the best pulled pork of your life COME HERE!

Rybrew is an awesome rustic sandwich shop in Brewerytown. I never imagined sandwiches, chips, and beer being such an amazing combination. I found my Sunday afternoon spot!
The space is awesome for meetings, but does possess a little of that petit-​bourgeois aesthetic that may leave some blue-​collar PoC folks scratching their heads, but the workers are very nice and its very laid-​back. Nice staff, great service, and great food!
