Rose Tattoo Café
Address: 1847 Callowhill Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130 (Map)

The eclectic menu features clever reinventions of Southern and American comfort food classics like Jambalaya and Baby Back Ribs in addition to more unexpected and delicious surprises like a Lobster Quesadilla with tarragon cream and Shiitake and Vegetable Spring Rolls. The attentive staff make “depending on the kindness of strangers” a la Blanche Dubois a genuine treat.
