35 Best Diners in Philadelphia

“Great vibes, good food, good people.“

“Everything we had was so tasty. Pasta special was delish. What really sure was the chips and dip. Some of the best homemade chips and upscale onion dip I’ve ever had. Super awesome and a must try. Would def go back for more food and it was definitely on a higher level than other restaurants.“

“My wife and I had lunch there today I had the chicken fried steak and my wife had the chicken panni and French onion soup. The food was excellent the server Hailee was very good and very professional. She was also very friendly and very cute. If you are close to there definitely stop in.“

“Old school vibes with new school prices💰💲Cash only“

“Was there many years ago in their old location probably… Great experience. Great service, great food.�“

“Can’t count how many times we’ve been here but here is my review of Silk City.

The food was excellent. Can’t go wrong in any order. Loved the ambiance. The drinks were good. It’s good to have a reservation as this place gets packed every time, but they could accommodate you to the diner section. Service at the diner section usually takes longer. Lots of parking around the area, but it’s better if you take Lyft or Uber. Staff were amazing and really friendly.

We will always go back to this place.“

“Great Service! Great Food!“

“Dad and daughter were working the place together with dad cooking and daughter taking the orders. So friendly and sweet. They have a kiosk or you can place the order with the daughter. The food was good, I had a waffle with eggs and got a breakfast sandwich for my partner on a long roll.“

“Good food. Service is OK. Coffee is average. Parking is a bit limited. Over all its average. At times you may have to flag down servers for refills on coffee. The feel is gangster.“

“Went to a Pink concert and stopped here for dinner before going Food was good and service was excellent Waiter was Chris Also stopped in for breakfast the next morning before heading home Food was good again and service was fine If I am back in Philadelphia I already know a good diner to go to and will go there again“

“Love it ! Food is delicious breakfast lunch dinner Never a bad meal“

“I love Andonio's! This is the best diner in the northeast. The food is good and the prices are right. The owner and family and all the waitresses are so friendly. I hope they open soon.“

“We had our semi-annual breakfast there once again. As usual, great food and service. We had Jessica and Courtney , our regular waitresses, they are great. All the guys love them. They handled 41 Sears TractorTrailer drivers - no problem. We’ll be back in six months (4/11/25). At the end some of us waited for this picture.“

“Lovely mom and pop diner. The food is great and is owned by a family. Only complaint is the booth seats are pretty rough, and also arent the most comfortable to sit on. Otherwise i would advise checking out this local diner for breakfast. Cash only here“

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

“This Diner is the best diner I have ever gone to in my life. It has been operating since 1937 and is an original. I love it! It is absolutely 100% genuine, and should be kept open and running as it is a place of absolute history too. I hope it remains to be open and running past it's 100 birthday and that future generations can experieince something real and genuine, the real American Diner as it was from the time it opened till now. Untouched, and not recreated as a diner of today, but one that is exactly as it was since the day it opened. Absolutely delightful!!! I love this place!!!“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“Food was great I had the meatball parm and my hubby had cheese steak. Andrew our host, and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the specials and made sure our drinks were always filled. Will definitely be going back.“

“It's home away from home. They offer a wide variety of different meals to choose from. By now we are regulars and our waitress knows what we want each time. Coszy mom and pops place. And their prices are crazy affordable and they don't sacrifice serving size.“

“This makes up for the loss of the Melrose Diner and the Oak Lane Diner. Omelets are really something to ride home about, because they are customizable and are served with hash browns. Plus, it's right at the entrance to the subway station, always a bonus. The staff here are also very friendly; they were willing to check the status of SEPTA's Regional Rail for me, and they were willing to sign my petitions to save SEPTA and keep it running.“

“For my first time visiting it was very nice. The young lady who served me and my wife was very patient and kind. The food we ordered came out fast and was great as far as taste. The only small problem was the room temp was a little too cold and our food got cold fast. Overall, for my first time, I enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility in the atmosphere.“

“I used to come here with my mom and brother back in the '90s, and the food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I haven't been here in years, but I ride by there a lot and it doesn't seem the same as it used to, but because of the nostalgia, it'll always have a special place in my heart“

“Let me start by saying don't go in here expecting a traditional restaurant experience. This is an old school, fast paced, self-serve/take-out style diner that is CASH ONLY (has an ATM). That, however, is EXACTLY what I want for good breakfast on a busy weekday morning. And good doesn't begin to describe it. Staff are a well oiled machine used to a very busy fast-paced environment who are there to get your order, give you your food, and let you move on with your day.
Now the food. Let me say, it isn't hard to make good home fries, but these were AMAZING. Onions and peppers in perfectly made home fries with perfect consistency and a taste to die for. No need to season them as they were perfectly seasoned. In my almost 41 years of life, these are the best damned home fries I've ever had! My eggs were made perfectly over medium with wonderful runny yolk like I love them and were wonderfully flavorful. Sausage patties were delicious as well, partner got pancakes that were fluffy and sweet even before the butter and syrup. Excellent diner, fast service. For anyone that likes this kind of place, it is up there for best ever!“

“kittys the soups and food delicious😋“

“Huge fan, I’ve never had a bad sandwich at Johnny Hot’s, until today 8/30/24. I was supposed to have just pork roll on a steak roll with spicy mustard, no egg and no cheese. The pork roll is usually cut very thin with a nice braise on it. It had egg & cheese on it. The egg & cheese were warm the meat was cool, no grill color to it. By the time I took the egg & cheese off there was hardly any pork roll, very disappointed. It was “no change” Friday, so I gave my apprentice 15 dollars for a sandwich I couldn’t even eat.“

“Matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had. I only eat it from here! The open face turkey platter is so delicious I always get it from here. This is me and my mother's lunch date every time we go shopping or doctors appt we stop here to eat!“

“Super great service. Breakfast is amazing anytime of day.“

“I visited this eatery long, long, long ago. It was good then and it is good now, overall. The server was a true professional. She was stretched really thin, but handled it like a trooper. She forgot a couple items but was well spoken and sincere. We and others could easily see how much she was challenged. A big crowd came in right away. Again, she handled the entire early afternoon well. I showed her my appreciation by giving her a reasonable gratuity...There was a delay in someone else not receiving his meal-a simple breakfast sandwich-within 30 minutes. He exclaimed his frustration accordingly. The Good working female server was clearly not being supported as well as she deserved, and I do not know exactly why...“

“There are 3 Foundational Black Americans working in John's Diner, and I'm telling you, if it wasn't for those 3 pros, John's Diner would be out of business. When I tell you the food is delicious and has that clean taste of old fashioned diner food. You know I'm impressed. Big ups, too, those 3 workers. ? ? ?“

“We had our team lunch here and it was great! They accommodated a huge group of almost 30 and we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. Prices were great and the food was really good!“

“Tample Rainbow offers a delicious and satisfying breakfast option with creamy grits, fluffy eggs, and crispy turkey bacon, perfectly complemented by a flavorful side of shrimp. The menu features creative Southern-inspired dishes with a modern twist, giving guests plenty of hearty choices to start their day. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the overall vibe is cute and inviting, making it a great little spot to enjoy a chill morning meal.

“The whir of the planes, the CLANK of the auto-parts salvage yards. The buzz of delivery trucks and the hum of the Pepsi cooler. The scent of cooking oil in the air

Parking: Lots of street space. Busy street w lots of tow-trucks and salvage yards. Can lark in front of Gourmay and keep an eye on your car if you want.“
