Downtown Phila. Market St w/ teen
Looking for some restaurant recommendations for a Fri nite and Sat lunch in dwntown Phila around Market St. ...will have a teen boy w/ a BIG appetite with us so would prefer good food and plentiful portions but would like entree prices around $15-18 for dinner at most. No chains. It would be great if they happened to be on restaurant.com!

Percy Street Barbecue on South Street seems like a good fit.

Actually I stand corrected! Percy Street's just not the same since they removed the sweet potatoes from the menu IMO.

Go to Famous 4th St deli, either location (which is closer depends on where on Market St you are). A corned beef sandwich will cost $15 but it's huge--your son will not leave hungry. Great Jewish Deli food.

Market St stretches from river to river, so it might help if you are more specific about where you're starting from and cuisines you're interested in. If you're willing to walk, cab, or subway to South Philly, I'd recommend taquerias such as Los Taquitos de Puebla, Veracruzana, or it's slightly nicer sibling, Plaza Garibaldi.
For lunch, search for recommendations at the Reading Terminal Market. Or try Delicatessen near 7th and Chestnut.
For restaurant.com, stick with Good Dog and South Philly Tap Room.

i'm surprised you haven't gotten any replies... i think you should look at the threads for south phila Italian restaurants (Marras is an old standby, Mr Martino;s or villa di roma) and Chinatown (we like charles plaza, sang kee, david's) either of these would be good and plenty for a teenager...
