Who would’ve thought Humpty’s Dumplings was a two-man team a decade ago? And to celebrate its success with us, the food brand offers free dumplings for a year!
A quick look back at Humpty’s Dumplings for us to appreciate it more: the brand was established 10 years ago by Philip Yesenosky and Patrick Doyle and started with less than $2000 capital and had only the needed supplies such as a fryer, and borrowed a few of the other appliance like the KitchenAid mixer from a friend, amazing, right? Even with a very small capital to start with, Humpty’s Dumplings does not hold back and faces all the obstacles of growing a small food company. Right now, Humpty’s Dumplings is one of the fastest-growing food chains, with over 10 million dumplings sold.
As a celebration of this achievement, Humpty’s Dumplings will give the 10 lucky winners free dumplings for over a year.
“When we started, we couldn’t have imagined selling 10 million dumplings in 10 years,” said Yesenosky. “This success wouldn’t be possible without the support from our community. Giving back to our customers is our way to thank them.”
As of today, Humpty’s Dumplings comes in eight dumpling flavors: Asian Pork, Broccoli & Cheddar, Buffalo Chicken, Cheesesteak, Honey Chipotle Chicken, Chicken Parmesan, Spinach, Mozzarella & Ricotta, and French Onion Soup. Through the years, they’ve widened their coverage of food items and now serve noodle bowls. They plan to add more side items soon to cater to more customers in the coming years. Dumplings cost $12 for six and a special price of $1 per dumpling every Wednesday (take note of this!). The flavors rotate regularly, and bowls are exclusively available at the Keswick location.
As of now, you can order Humpty’s Dumplings in select locations in Glenside, PA’s Keswick Village, which is open daily for lunch and dinner. Their Fishtown location within The Saint is open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m., closing at midnight Sunday through Wednesday and 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
How To Get Free Humpty’s Dumplings?
In order to get free Humpty’s Dumplings, you should follow the instructions in the giveaway. The two owners, Yesenosky and Doyle, will place 10 special gold-brushed dumplings at the Keswick Village location on the 15th of June, as well as at the Farmer’s markets (this includes Lansdale Farmer’s market every Saturday and Horsham on Sundays). If you’re lucky to have been served with 1 gold-brushed dumpling, you’re literally lucky because you’ll be receiving 12 pieces of any of your chosen dumplings each month for an entire year, or if you want; you can have all the collection at once, it’s your choice.

Humpty’s Dumplings Legacy And Future Plan
Humpty’s Dumpling’s growing menu is fascinating despite being one decade old. It features flavors like Asian Pork, Broccoli and cheddar, Buffalo Chicken, and more, catering to a diverse palate. Offering traditional and innovative flavor combinations, the brand always makes sure to emphasize good quality and taste in every bite, even if there are still a few competitors. Their pricing strategy of $12 for six dumplings and a special $1 per dumpling on Wednesdays has struck a chord with both regular loyalists and new customers alike.
Reflecting on their 10-year journey, Yesenosky and Doyle have met and exceeded several milestones because, for a food brand, this is the time to see the path it will take. Their commitment has been crucial to their sustained success, reflected in the impressive statistic of nearly 10 million dumplings sold over the past decade. It’s not that big compared to a more popular and bigger fast food brand, but this indicates the continuous growth of Humpty’s Dumplings.
Amidst this rapid growth, they’ve emphasized community support, which Yesenosky highlights as foundational to their success: “This success wouldn’t be possible without the support from our community. Giving back to our customers is our way to thank them.”

From The Club
It’s so touching and inspiring to see that Humpty’s Dumplings grew in a span of only 10 years. This might seem so long, but not for a growing fast food brand; I just wish it would expand its locations all over the country, too, and not just the menu itself. I’m pretty sure it will gain more popularity when that happens, but right now, I need luck to be chosen as the lucky winner; two dozen dumplings every month for an entire year somehow makes me hungry, lol.
