The atmosphere is bright and clean, and it's great to see a local hangout where the staff actually knows the regulars by name. We loved the Tri-Fecta.

I had eggs with home fries, sliced thin and crisped perfectly. I had turkey scrapple and it was cooked crispy , just as i requested. Neither of us could finish our meals but we sure wanted to!

“I love getting breakfast from this local eatery when I don’t feel like cooking. They are so welcoming and the food is always so good. I love the chicken and waffles, a Homefries platter, and their Shrimp and Grits is so good and get extra shrimp if you think the 6 isn’t enough. Sometimes I’m ok with the 6 and sometimes I want a little more. My son loves the breakfast sandwiches and especially on a croissant.“

She has a true gift and I highly recommend her! Natalie brought and set up the food and was our server. She was wonderful!“

“Hidden gem walking distance from the NE Navy Yard. This is a takeout-only hole-in-the-wall and it's perfect for what it is. The breakfast sandwiches were simple and delicious, the pancakes were perfection, the man running the one-man show was helpful, polite and quick making the food. I will go every chance I get. Cash only, but there's an ATM on site. Total for 2 sammy's and 2 pancakes was $18.“

“A busy, mostly carry out service with good food and friendly service. There's about four tables you can sit and eat at after ordering at the counter. Had Bacon, eggs, and grits, one of my diner go-to breakfasts, and it was served quickly with nice fresh ingredients. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium and they gave plenty of bacon“

“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.“

“Waffles with strawberries, bananas, blue berries, whip cream is to die for.. they are super friendly… I love this place“

“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)“

“If your trying to grab your food and go. And you call them to place your order. Some days good luck. You can call 15 times in 30 mins and no answer. Walk in and see the phone ringing and nobody even looking at that phone. Cooking, chilling, and talking. You gotta stand and wait just like everybody else.“

“Breakfast always filling no complaints fast service our waitress Diamond always came to check on us made sure everything was right & she even remembered us & knew how we liked our stuff her personality is great specifically first thing in the morning food gets a A+“

“My favorite place to get food while at work. The only place in center city that makes my home fries and pancakes how i like. Prices are very reasonable as well. All staff are friendly but the two guys that cook are the reason I keep coming back.“

“Food is good and the place is clean very welcoming but it’s over price two platters cost almost $40 dollars and I got 1 sausage, egg’s and bacon for $15 dollars.no deals or combo.they will show you then food before they pack it to make sure it’s too your liking no sit in table , grab and go service..overall food great and good customer service…“

“Bread & Butter Philly is my wife’s and my absolute favorite breakfast spot! We order from here every weekend, especially on Sundays, and the food and customer service never disappoint. The staff is always so friendly, and it’s always nice to see Jenny and the team each week. The food is consistently delicious, and it’s always hard to choose between the breakfast platter and breakfast burritos because everything is always on point! Definitely one of the best breakfast spots in Philly, where you’re always greeted with a smile! Highly recommend Bread & Butter Philly!“

“June 25, 2026 update: Celebrated my birthday with our team, and owners John (who's also celebrating his birthday!) & Julie. It was so special! Best spot outside of 440. IYKYK. Friendly owners. Great food. Quick service. And, the Luncheonette SURVIVES here.“
