2023: Philadelphia Voted Cappy’s Seafood Cafe Best Mussels!
Cappy’s Seafood Cafe
6901 Frankford Avenue
(215) 906-2220
Most people wouldn’t consider seafood to fall under the category of “bar food”, but the unique combination is what makes Cappy’s stand apart. Located between the Mayfair and Tacony sections of Northeast Philadelphia, Cappy’s freshly steamed mussels bring buttery to a whole new level. Eat them alone as a bar snack or as part of their Seafood Pescatore or Alfredo. And if that’s not enough, Cappy’s also offers a unique Mussels Fra Diavolo over a bed of pasta with spicy red sauce. And if you aren’t up for making the trip all the way out to 69th & Frankford, have no fear – Cappy’s offers delivery and is on Uber Eats as well.
