A History of Legends

The Chickie’s & Pete’s saga began back in 1977 when Peter and Henrietta Ciarrocchi opened a small taproom on Robbins Avenue in Philadelphia. In the years that followed, Peter Ciarrocchi Jr. perfected the proprietary seasoning blend that created the now-famous Crabfries®, officially trademarked in the 1980s. Their strong, authentic ties to Philadelphia sports—they are the Official Sports Bar of the Philadelphia Eagles—helped propel them to national recognition. Their reputation for providing an unmatched fan experience earned them the prestigious title of #1 Sports Bar in North America by ESPN in 2012. Today, this Marlton location carries on that celebrated legacy right here in South Jersey.
