The staff was rude when mentioning about a couple of mistakes such as one sausage when there was supposed to be two and forgot my coffee. I'm a regular customer and nothing but an attitude!

Food and service for breakfast was decent. But basement restrooms were a disgrace. Unclean, broken toilet paper holder, broken and empty soap dispenser. Ruined my experience. Easy fix for them, just do it!

It looks like a cafeteria but I had breakfast and I was delighted with the quality, size and price, I highly recommend it.

Nice little restaurant with great staff, quick service and good food. Cash only, be prepared. Make sure you grab breakfast at least once while in Philly.

Super great staff! Came in here 2 days in a row with my team, we are on a spring break trip in Philly. We came in they treated us with respect and patience despite there being 12 of us. The second day we came back they already had our table ready, and were very poignant with our food. Highly recommend this place for great breakfast food!

The food is great 5/5, but we were forced to move tables to a cramped small one despite there being plenty of other tables available. Then a few minutes later, they allowed a single person to sit in a table for 4 without so much as a peep! He wasn't waiting for anyone either.. Their silly rules should apply to everyone, but whatever. I asked around and lots of people say they prefer to order food for pick up. The atmosphere is not the best, IMO. Take from that what you will.

The food is great, always served hot, and service is top-notch. Whenever I visit Philly, I always make sure to stop here for breakfast.

Seriously an amazing breakfast experience. Was on an out of town trip. Not only is the food amazing, the service was also phenomenal. Such a sweet group of individuals here! Definitely recommend.

Le Meridien suggested this as a good place to grab a to-go lunch, with quick service, and they were right. Had a cheeseburger and fries, and it was done really well, and a huge burger. Staff was friendly and so were the customers as I waited for my order. Well done!

We ate brunch at this diner because of all of the great reviews and the menu options looked really good. It is cash only but realize when I went 2 days earlier and got a chicken ceaser wrap earlier(neice said it was ok) and it was cash or card with the card uplift charge so I paid cash. We ordered the sausage and cheese omelette, hot stacks and deluxe special. Unfortunately the omelette was just ok since cheese was guess provolone or possibly white American. Down south, omelette are cooked with cheddar cheese. Pancakes were ok, little too thick and the syrup was really thick. The grits were good but cold for food to come out fast. The waitress and staff were nice but not sure how they got voted best breakfast spot. Come visit the Carolina’s or even IHOP for better flavored and hot food.
