Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the most traditional restaurant in the entire state:
"Philadelphia’s culinary history is more than the sum of its steak-and-cheese parts. With that in mind, chef and archaeologist Jill Weber set out to create a tribute to those left out of certain American history stories. She founded Rex at the Royal as an homage to the Southern Black chefs who moved to the city a century ago, during the Great Migration, and adapted their foodways, including many from the South Carolina Lowcountry, Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic. One such chef, Harry Franklyn Hall, grew to fame in Philly and went on to pen 300 Ways to Cook and Serve Shellfish, which served as an inspiring tenet for the Rex at the Royal’s menu. Stop by for dishes like shrimp and grits, braised collard greens, frogmore stew and the must-order She Crab Soup.
