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

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“Top notch. The ayam geprek was superb. Tender smashed chicken dish with a chili-sambal that was sooo spicy and good. Yum. 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. 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!“

“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.“

“Thx 2 Chopped, I ate here! Best decision ever, tremendous food, Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich and their Sweet Bacon Jam Redux sandwich are incredible.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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 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?????“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“l've been coming to Bread and Butter since they first opened, and they've been consistently amazing ever since. My entire family eats here, and the atmosphere is so warm and family oriented that it feels like walking into a family reunion every time you visit. The food is ALWAYS incredible fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I come here so often that they already know my order before I even say it!
That kind of service and consistency is hard to find.
Definitely one of my favorite spots in Uptown Philadelphia.“

“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 ?????☺️“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“OK place clean neat and organized .the staff was helpful. The amount of room was great plenty of parking my experience here was awsome. I got what I wanted with no hassles all went well no worries or problems here as of the day I went in..“

“Friendly and great deals!“

“Best breakfast sandwich in the area. Came in with a big order and was treated with true care by the staff & owner. I was seriously so moved by their hospitality and willingness to go above and beyond for their customers. Try the onion & pepper egg and cheese on a croissant! It's amazing.“

“Delicious healthy various smoothies!! Also, delicious sweets.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love Egg white omelet but I can't get him from just any place on this visit the egg white omelet was exceptionally delicious the young lady who waited on me was quite pleasant and helpful even prepared my coffee exactly the way I like I will definitely be returning to this place“

“I go here early morning every morning . Between 6am-8:30am for at least a coffee if nothing else . I’ve ordered breakfast and lunch from them. The food is always good. The handmade drinks are fresh. The service is fast and considerate . Never any cursing or rude temple students ruining the atmosphere . It’s really a pleasurable experience . I’ve never dined in but I have ordered though door dash before both pick up and delivery. And I’ve always delivered for them via door dash when I’m making on the side . Since I live in the area the moment I turned my app on ,an order came through. You will not be disappointed . Never messed up my food or change . A1 . 👌and the prices is what I love BEST of all.“

“Truly impressive service and food. From when I walked in through the door and received a giant smile from the owners to when I paid my very reasonable bill, I was impressed. Service was excellent. Food was amazing. I asked for extra onions and it was smothered. I know Redington terminal market is right around the corner but this place is fantastic and the owners have earned my praise and business.“

“I LOVE this place. The owner is usually on site, friendly, and knowledgeable. Inventory here is always fresh, and delicious. Hands down, they have the BEST lunchmeats in the city. If you're looking for an ACTUAL deli, not a beer store, this is the place!!! If I could give a 6th star for the fact that if they're busy, they will take your phone number and call to let you know your order is ready, they would most definitely have a 6th star. They're serving up customer service at its finest!!!“

“Had breakfast here today while in town for a show at the Met. Rashida greeted us upon entry and was very friendly. We both enjoyed our meals. Food was cooked right and was delicious and generous. 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! Great place to stop for a neighborhood breakfast if in town for a show at the Met!!“

“Been come here for forever Justin use to have the music pumping but haven't seen him I hope all is well but the breakfast always on a bean very welcoming wife and husband always welcoming an greeting with a smile great homestyle breakfast“

“I love this place. I teach at Temple, so when I'm in the area I stop in. They're closed on Mondays, so be mindful. The food is always consistent, good, hot, fresh and I usually call ahead because they're often times busy. But, the food is on point!!!“

“This was the first restaurant my Grandmother took me to when I came to Philly when I was 8 I am going to be 44 in 2 months. Loyal customer for 36 years. They fed my family for 3 generations. It's not the same owners I started out with but the quality of food never changed and these owners owned it for decades. If you can ignore what's going on outside it's a great stop. The neighborhood changed the restaurant did not.“

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

“Very delicious oxtails the best thing in our area they are always on point love it“

“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.“
