The Es Kopi Susu (espresso, condensed milk and evaporated milk) was also delish. Excited to have been blessed to go here this morning, I’ll be sure to return to try other things“

“Obsessed with this place. I got the avocado sunshine this morning and it may be my favorite breakfast dish in Philly. The pickled onions on this amazing bread with avocado and topped with a perfectly cooked egg was so freaking good. Great coffee too. Every meal I’ve gotten here has been amazing (their banana bread is so good fyi) but this was the best. I love this place so much!“

“We found this super cute restaurant while visiting Philly. I absolutely loved the ambiance. Small but cute atmosphere.

“Today I stopped at The Hungry A. I have driven buy there many times. As I walked in the owners and people in there all greeted me like they know me. I had a coffee and it was one of the best I ever had. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will be be back. But what really got to me I walk with a cane and one of the girls there saw I was having a hard time she came around the counter and took what I was carrying and helped me to my car. Today there are not many people that are kind as she was. It made me know that there is still kind people in this world. If every would take the time to be kind to someone just once maybe it could be a start to make this world just a little better“

The food is simple, hearty, and comes out fast, exactly what I want when I’m hungry and don’t want to overthink it. It’s not flashy, just solid comfort food that gets the job done.“

“Norman’s Grill is truly a hidden gem in Philly! The food tastes like it was made with love — real, comforting, home-cooked meals that hit the spot every single time. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.

The staff is incredibly polite, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers.

If you’re looking for amazing home-style cooking and a warm, friendly atmosphere, this is the place. Don’t sleep on this spot — it’s a true treasure tucked away in the city!“

“Easily in the top two for French toast! The other place is in Royersford. Now living in Florida, can’t get a decent French toast. Miss this place!“

“I absolutely love their breakfast! I've been coming here for well over 10 years. The staff is friendly, the service is fast. I'm a scrapple guy. They do the diner cut, crunchy outside and a fully cooked soft inside. Just, make sure to bring cash and you will not regret coming here. Keep up the great work, my friends.“

“Four of us went for brunch today ~ not one complaint. Loved our server and the food was delicious.“

“I only get to order from here a few times a year unfortunately, but every time i get something from here it is great. Eggs are always cooked perfectly. They're variety is fantastic. Cupbop is always great and hardy! They are a family and very friendly people every time. This most recent experience was interesting. I placed an online order and went to pick it up and when i got there all the lights were out due to a black out. I saw someone else go inside and talked to the owners about my order, and they still made my order for me in pitch black! I have never had a restaurant do this, ever. Every time i can get down here and have time i will support them. Everyone else should as well.“

“Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“Delicious coffee and great food!“

“Place is absolutely slept on! Easy to park or even walk to and the food is incredible. It looks like a random hole in the wall but the food is anything but. Everything is made to order, incredibly fresh and so tasty. Employees are very kind and make customizing easy too. Cannot wait to go again! As you can see from menu photo, they’re also super affordable.“

“I went to The Coffee Station again for breakfast on Sunday and had a great experience. The food was good, but what really stood out was our waitress, Denise. She’s like an old-time waitress in the best way—friendly, attentive, and she makes you feel truly appreciated. She goes above and beyond and makes the whole place feel like home. I don’t go out very often these days because of the economy, but I make it a priority to come here when Denise is working. She turns an ordinary meal into an experience worth going out for.“

“Love trying out new Diners and "First Watch" has not disappointed me yet! Don't think they could, actually. My 2nd visit, this morning, They prepared a Scrambled egg w/Cheese & Spinach, Chicken sausage patty, topped with sliced Avocado on toasted multi-grain bread. Can you say yummmm😋👍🏽🌞 oh, and I left with their "Watermelon, Pineapple, Lime and Mint Refreshing Drink...Cool and delicious💛“

“We loved it, in fact we returned a second time. Generous portions, wide choice and very modest prices. The service was excellent, the staff was always nice and attentive to our requests. From the outside you wouldn't give it a penny, but if you're in the area it's really worth stopping by for breakfast, you won't regret it! :)“

“I am trying some new to me places in Philly and I came across this place. The Uptown Grill. The food was delicious, I ordered fish & grits, a small coffee, and white toast. The restaurant was very nice and clean, and the atmosphere was layed back, chill, But one thing that took me little by surprise and that is the (Asian lady) behind the counter taking orders. she wasn't really nasty, but she was impatient, short tempered and not very friendly or/ communicative and I felt that. I am visiting the city from new Orleans, so I'm paying close attention to everything and that little experience left a little bad taste in my mouth. Everything else was perfect, but I wouldn't return.“

“Love the Breakfast“

“Found this place about a month ago, and realized it is my local walk to spot! And they've been around for over 30 years! Could not be happier! Been there twice so far, quick and friendly service. The food, simply amazing! I like grits, but often they're either too runny or too thick...finding those perfect goldilock grits is difficult... Train stops grits are just right! Truly the Goldilocks of grits! Awesome place all around, I highly recommend and will definitely be back soon.“

“Recently, was looking for a breakfast spot with grits. The grits were creamy and delicious even after sitting awaiting for me to pick up my food. My main dish was chicken and waffles. Lee's Belgian waffle came with a side of powdered sugar to sprinkle atop your buttered and syrup covered waffles. I savored every sweet, semi- cake bite.“

“Delicious!!!!! Great service, great food! Happened upon this gem while waiting at a local dealership. Highly recommend!“

“A mom and pop joint with a kind and clearly smart business woman! At first I was like dagggggg pricey but then I see she gives huge portions and is creative with ingredients. She multitasks and we will definitely be back for pancakes! She also cooks the meat separately so another plus. Just get some ice lol great food!“

“Mrs. Monique provided amazing customer service at Wonder. She was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Her positive attitude and attention to customers made the experience stand out, and it’s clear she takes pride in her work. Employees like Mrs. Monique are the reason customers keep coming back she is a true pleasure to the Wonder experience.“

“I read all the positive reviews and had to check it out for myself. I have always found it difficult to find something as simple as a good breakfast place. But this time i found it! The second I walked in, I was impressed. The hostess greeted me immediately and with a smile. I asked if I should order now and she smiled and explained that she'd take my order and she'll bring it to me. It was very pleasant. The store itself is clean and bright. I ordered two eggs medium, sausage patties,home fries with peppers and onions, rye toast with a little butter and a medium coffee. Everything was made exactly as I ordered it. The portions were generous and the coffee was great. Thirteen bucks for all that. Perfect. I'll be back.“

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“I was just passing by to pick up a script at CVS right down the road. Out of the side of my eye…. I caught notice of a small building. A restaurant? “Shorties?” I’ve never noticed it before. I quickly checked Google, and yes! It is a restuaraunt! How interesting. It’s so small.

Their menu is perfect for a blue collar breakfast/lunch. All sorts of really great breakfast sandwiches, fries, burgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks. I settled on a chili dog + chili cheese fries. I can EASILY say - these are the best chili cheese fries I’ve ever had - and it’s not particularly close, either. It’s a massive portion, and the fries are super crispy & airy with great flavor. Chili & cheese on top with garnish. Absolutely delicious.

The chili dog was good too. I prefer them over anything else I’ve had locally (not gonna mention the most popular hot dog spot locally).

I believe they may be a black owned business as well. I love to support anyone with a dream & the work ethic to accomplish it.

I’ll be back. 100%“

“Karla catered a baby shower for us and the food was absolutely delicious and was presented beautifully!! Everyone kept saying how much they loved it! Karla is wonderful to work with. She has a true gift and I highly recommend her! Natalie brought and set up the food and was our server. She was wonderful!“

“Have you experienced the new Summer menu yet? Maybe you tried this restaurant on a busy Saturday morning and the long wait for a table then is preventing you from exploring the menu now? This month is a perfect time to visit again - many local customers are off from school, or off on vacation. So wait times are short, while the summer first watch menu is awesome. Enjoy! (It’s always a good idea to use the first watch app to check in, just in case everyone else has also decided this is the perfect time to visit)“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“Friendly staff and fantastic food. Arrived mid morning on a Tuesday. Seating inside available if you like to stay and is limited.

Had the Philly omlette platter and it was delicious

Try the beef bacon!“

“Great breakfast. Lots of choices. Friendly staff. Crispy hashbrowns, good cappuccino, and eggs with avocado. Hubby tried the carrot cake french toast. He said it was good with not an overwhelming flavor of carrot cake. One note; Small tables & big plates don’t work well, so if there’s more than two people get a booth. Will be returning!“

“Great South Philly Spot. Call ahead and have your order ready for pickup, eat in, delivery, etc.. This Guy Does it All? Traditional subs, cheese steaks, breakfast, sandwiches, etc. VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!!!
I had the Homemade Half Pound Burger it was cooked to perfection with a FRESH South Philly Italian style kesier roll. Two of us ate and shared a standard order of hot Crispy steak fries with drinks under $20...
Where have all the spots like this gone?????“

“Best egg cheese & scrapple on a roll that I ever had!!“

“I have lived in Havertown my whole life, and I had never been here before. I’m so glad I finally gave it a try. I tend to get the chicken salad when I eat out, and I would rate their chicken salad sandwich a 9+ out of 10! Great flavor and consistency plus the sandwich was packed and overflowing, without being messy. I had to take half home with me. One of the best I’ve ever had! The service was very good, the interior was clean and bright, and prices were on par with most other places. I will definitely be going here again instead of Nudy’s to try some of their other lunch and breakfast items.“

“Friendly Service, Awesome Food., Service can be a little slow, I strongly reccomend calling your order in., Or going early in the AM between 7:00am and 9:00am.“

“The food is always great, every time I've gone it's a good time, plus they have good smoothies and shakes. Pretty big fan of the energy booster, haven't tried their coffee too much but I'm sure it's also great! Also, you get a lot of food, so that's also a big plus.“

“Food won’t wow you but is really good especially for a chain breakfast/lunch spot. Prices were reasonable. Service was to the point and not over the top. Food came out fairly quickly.
We had two options from the spring specials menu: the BEC (4/5) and the bacon Cheese Corn Bread (5/5)
We also ordered from the regular menu the Power Wrap (4/5) and Cheesy Grits (4/5). Got the pancakes but took them to go (4/5)“

“The best place to get breakfast it's fast nice clean place this the only place I'll eat breakfast at opens at a good time and the breakfast sandwiches is the best bread always fresh I always get a beef bacon egg a d cheese sandwich I always have to get 2 of them with a side of cheese grits with extra cheese the grit's always thick just perfect ?????☺️“
