Located on 4th Street on the city's north side, this locally owned business combines the charm of a neighborhood grocery and deli with a reputation for outstanding takeout meals and family-friendly value.
While many places serve chicken, Philly's has become especially known for its famous broasted chicken.

Of course, great chicken deserves great sides, and that's another area where Philly's shines. Their famous potato wedges provide the perfect crispy companion to any meal, while homemade coleslaw delivers a refreshing crunch. Potato salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls, and other classic comfort-food sides help transform a simple meal into a complete feast. Family value meals often include generous portions of wedges, coleslaw, and rolls, making them a popular choice for family dinners, parties, and game days.
Beyond the chicken, Philly's offers a variety of crowd-pleasing favorites including pizza, fish, deli items, sandwiches, and other grab-and-go meals. Their commitment to quality food and hometown service has helped make them one of Fond du Lac's hidden gems.
