“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!“

“M & M Restaurant is one of those classic, no-frills spots that feels like it’s been doing things the same way forever—in a good way. 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.“

“Hands down this is the best pretzel bun I have ever had.“

“Our waitress was the sweetest and they have some really unique menu items. I’d say their sweet choices are better than the savory but we enjoyed everything we had. Cornbread French toast was particularly sublime! The French press Kona coffee was a great start to the day. My one small complaint was the cleanliness of the dishes. My coffee mug had a visible red lipstick stain, my water glass had food particles on it and one of my plates was dirty. Just a small critique there. The space is nice open and not stuffy. And I noticed a good amount of foot traffic overall!“

“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 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.“

“Can't beat the deals and the prices are fair.
Food is very delicious and the service is 5 🌟 s.

I recommend the Tropical French Toast and the home fries sell themselves.

Wish this place was open 24/7🙏🏻🤞“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“Went in first time today, 3/7/26. Clean, friendly staff. Fast table service. Home fries w/onions well worth value, as well as coffee prices. Really enjoyed eggs, cheese, sausage on long roll. Overall great value. Just wish they accepted credit cards. Definitely recommend this place to locals or others on bus 46 route or L.“

“Food was amazing. very large omelets.server was fantastic!“

“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.“

“Heather was a great server! She was very attentive and a pleasure to talk to.
The cornbread French toast and accompanying strawberry reduction was very tasty and I would go back for that again.
They always have such good seasonal specials!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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)“

“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.“

“I stopped by Good Hatch in Philadelphia and it’s a great little spot for breakfast or brunch. The place has a relaxed neighborhood vibe, and the menu is packed with hearty breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and classic brunch plates made with fresh ingredients.

I tried one of their breakfast sandwiches and it was seriously satisfying—crispy hash browns, fluffy eggs, and a soft brioche bun that held everything together perfectly. The flavors were bold but still comforting, exactly what you want from a good breakfast spot.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a solid place to grab a quick morning bite or a laid-back brunch. Overall, Good Hatch is a great choice if you’re in Philly and craving a filling, well-made breakfast sandwich or brunch plate.“

“Awesome fresh baked bagels, always delicious! Small business with owners who are always on site! Friendly helpful staff!“

“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 ?????☺️“

“Cute and quiet. Came here for breakfast with my mom. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good. Not overly salty or greasy. I’m glad they had complimentary water. The only strike against this place (and this maybe be a Philly thing because this wasn’t the only restaurant I’ve experienced this) is the use of styrofoam takeout containers and plastic utensils. Do people not like using actual plates and forks in Philadelphia 🤔🤔🤔 Maybe I’ve been too far removed from the culture when this isn’t as oddly I think it is. Anyway, would visit this place again 👍🏾♥️“

“I been eating at joes for like 39 years they make some delicious breakfast sandwiches bacon always crispy n cream chip beef on toasted bread with green peppers and onions and I’m gonna have to go there today talking about it God bless you, Joe and your wife for so many years of service. May God continue to bless y’all..“

“Really lovely spot in a good location, the vibe inside and out are great, all of the staff are extremely friendly and caring. The food and drinks are almost always really good. My main issue is the lack of consistency, it seems like different baristas and cooks have their own ways of making things, which is fine, but I personally feel consistency is super important in food service.“

“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.“

“It's definitely a sketchy part of the city but their food is really good, and they seem like friendly enough people. My fave thing to order here is the chicken and waffles. The chicken is never seasoned but still good somehow,just needs some salt and pepper (+). Their grits are pretty good as well, not lumpy like some other breakfast spots.“

“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!“

“Friendly and great deals!“

“Been ordering since day one, never dissatisfied.“

“There is a waitress there by the name of Jolie. She. Makes you feel very comfortable. Tony is a fantastic cook and the atmosphere is friendly and down to earth. I've gotten to be a regular. It's starts my morning off right eating at this diner.“
