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!“

“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.“

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

A huge thank you to Olivia, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“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. 🤷‍♂“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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…“

“Very professional delivery man, beautiful girls and management. Great food, everything tasted great“

“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.“

“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..“

“As my kids would say, “their food was bussin” ??everything was good especially the eggs. And thts very important. ?French toast with the butter and syrup was crack! ?You’ll slap ur momma okay???And sis blessed my French toast and my daughters pancakes with the powder sugar…my gawd?? she made our morning?. Were in here scraping the bottom of the platter honey!!!! Also great customer services, even when I wasn’t buying anything. The beautiful yung lady with the short cut helped me out. I could not have thanked her enough. I’ll be back for sure.“

“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“

“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.“

“So happy I stumbled into Sunnyside for breakfast! This is a local spot, no frills and nothing fancy but delicious wholesome breakfast food that hits the spot. The creamed chipped beef, scrapple, omelettes and grits are all delightful and fairly priced. If you're looking for a place to instagram and post, this is not the spot - but if you're a real person looking for some real good food in the area, definitely check it out.“

“Friendly and great deals!“
