Josh Moore

Josh Moore is the Philadelphia creator behind Josh Eats Philly, and Philadelphia Magazine named him its Food Influencer of the Year in 2023. Jersey-born and Philly-based, he has built a following of more than 190,000 across platforms, with a reputation for championing local, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses. On Social Foodie, his map covers Philadelphia, Conshohocken, Haddon Township, and Bethlehem, plus the Jersey Shore from Asbury Park and Atlantic City to Ocean City and Cape May, with the occasional New York stop.

His highest-rated picks include Recipe Philly, which he has returned to more than once, Denise's Delicacies for baked goods, and Bar Jawn in Philadelphia. In Conshohocken he's backed Pop's Steaks, Southern Cross Kitchen, Hook & Ladder Sky Bar, and The Rabbit Hole, while Mixteca and Amá cover the Mexican side and Port Coffee Co handles the caffeine. Tony Boloney's in Atlantic City makes the cut for pizza, and Southern, Latin, Puerto Rican, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern kitchens fill out a feed that leans toward the new and noteworthy.

If something just opened in Philly, Josh has probably already been. About half of his videos cover a new opening, a new menu, or a limited run — a pastry pop-up, a restaurant week roundup, a basement omakase in Manayunk — and he gets straight to the point: where it is, what he ordered, and what it costs when that matters. The tone is earnest rather than hyped, and his recommendations read like a friend's heads-up. Add him as a fave on Social Foodie to keep up with what's new and worth the hype in Philadelphia.
