50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Drexel Hill

“This has to be one of the most under rated places I've ever been to. Huuuge portions, small prices, and some of the best food. You definitely have to give it a try, I recommend the Pancakes and the Chicken Mei Fun. CASH ONLY but there's an atm across the street if you forget.“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“This is a relatively new brunch place in South Philly. Well it says brunch place but it is definitely good for lunch and dinner as well.

I'm getting the same vibe as brunch places back in Indonesia here.

I ordered Nasi Uduk and Kopi Gula Aren. Both stays true to the authentic recipe and portion is generous.

Will definitely go back when I'm back in South Philly.“

“Blown away! Super kind and friendly people and the food was FAN-freaking-TASTIC! Eggs over home fries is a nice touch. Got a side of ketchup and used it for one bite. It was soo good that the ketchup took away from it! And I'm a ketchup guy lol
Stop by and grab breakfast here ASAP! You'll thank me later!“

“We found this super cute restaurant while visiting Philly. I absolutely loved the ambiance. Small but cute atmosphere. Food was AMAZING! fresh ingredients, coffee was awesome, the crust on the breakfast potatoes was chefs kiss! and the jam for the biscuits and multi grain bread is to die for!! So happy we stopped by!“

“First Watch is one of our go-to places for breakfast. The food is usually five star. I had the traditional breakfast eggs scrambled, bacon, potatoes, and toast. The eggs were a bit tasteless it seemed because they used little or no salt. The potatos were salted and tasted fine. The bread was also a little bland since I ordered it without the usual heaps of butter. I'm a tea drinker and the selection is variable. This time there was enough non-earl grey and herbal tea to have two full cups of English breakfast. The tea situation is always dicey, often only decaf black and herbal with one Earl Grey. It would also be great if they ditched the stevia for either one or both of the chemical sweeteners, yellow or pink would do.

It's still a good breakfast place, just could be better with a little more salt and better sweetener options.“

“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“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

“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!“

“The breakfast at God Day Deli in Philadelphia was fantastic! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. A great spot for a delicious and satisfying breakfast in Philadelphia. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious coffee and 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.“

“Found this place in passing. My friend wanted a bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. I saw while she was making and wrapping it and it looked hearty! I didn't get a picture because it was devoured 🤣😂 or inhaled but that speaks for itself. I will be going back and will remember to take a picture because eating! Thank you!!“

“Food was delicious although my omelette was made with the wrong ingredient. The manager offered to make the correct one but everyone at our table had their food already. Server could use some polishing on customer service skills. Not the friendliest.“

“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💛“

“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.“

“Great environment. Have been a regular here for over 6 years. Familiar family owned business that has community relationship ties, good service, exquisite food with and friendly clean atmosphere. So comfortable, they know my order by name. Great part to start my workday. The waffle hit different. 🤷‍♂“

“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.“

“I can not recommend this restaurant enough. I work super late nights.Tbh knowing I can order this food when I get off has gotten me through several shifts. The food is extremely consistent and amazing everytime. You’re missing out if you don’t eat here“

“Great waitress Gina, not all as nice. She makes it worth the ride from Philly. Keep up the good work.“

“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.“

“It’s an amazing vibe . The food is very tasty as well“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food, huge portions and the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting - Monica is an excellent bartender and always takes care of us.“

“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.“

“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?????“

“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.“

“I'm not home often enough to really enjoy Good Hatch, but when I do...watch out! Typical breakfast fare that's packed with flavor and always consistent.
I almost always order the hungry man. It's well worth the starting price of $15.50 (as of this review). With that you get 2 eggs, 2 meats, 2 pancakes, and homefries.
For today, I upgraded to the french toast for $1more.
Everything is seasoned and cooked well. The scrambled eggs today were cooked a little hard but they were still good. The food was ready when I arrived but there was a little confusion so it took a few minutes, and even with my walk home, the food was still hot (maybe 10 minutes after being ready).
The bacon and sausage were cooked to perfection. and the french toast? OMG. The challah bread is perfect choice and whatever was done to give the outside that nice little caramelization was incredible.
I mean....this was breakfast and lunch, and I still dont want dinner.“

“Nothing really everything is good“

“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.“

“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 ?????☺️“

“Nice quiet atmosphere with very good service, hospitality, and food.“

“A great luncheonette in South Philly with that old school feeling. Miss eating at the counter but such is the life in the world of Covid. The staff is always nice and the food is always good. Went for breakfast sandwiches today and wasn't disappointed!“

“First time enjoying Trio! Everything was delicious! They didn't skimp on the shrimp! The portion size is perfect! The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. Is the cheese on my grits wasn't melted. I like my cheese in my food not on top. I don't know if the butter on the side was supposed be there? Thank you, I needed it for my toast!“

“breakfast is extremely reliable, delicious, and ordinary. What makes this particular spoon stick out? the incredible service. Sue and her husband run a tight efficient and friendly shift. Sue greets every customer as if she has known them for years and for a large majority of her patrons this is true. A center city staple.“

“I get a bacon egg and cheese with a regular sized half and half. Does me right every time. They scramble the egg instead of doing that lil omelette. I like it. lol. They close at 1pm. They also be busy around 11 so if you calling you and aren’t getting an answer, keep calling. If you don’t call before you order, you will be waiting. All the older people be in there“

“Best Bacon ever. Love this spot.“

“Food is good! If you eat in house 15% gratuity is added no matter if it's 1 person or 10. Unless you ask for sides of jelly you get charged for jelly too, cups of water if in a Togo cup..any way they can make another 10cents they will. They have decent food though and Everything is fresh annnd They do do a lot of business, So to me that speaks for itself. 15-20 per a person that's a platter.“

“my favorite local breakfast place, and the best chicken noodle soup in this region. most of the time I’m busy and order online and the food is always really good. It’s my biggest comfort after late night work.
I took a walk to the place recently and get to chit chat a bit while waiting for my food. people are so friendly, and I can feel there is a bond between the customers and the place.“
