All you can eat is not good and expensive. Just don’t

LOVED my wet breakfast burrito. It was really really good and the spicy sauce on top is *chef’s kiss*. Just a little heat in a well composed burrito. And big! If I wanted to stuff myself, I would have finished it, but ended up just eating half.The server was the bartender and couldn’t attend to us as she was really doing two jobs (prepping all the drinks and trying to keep our coffees full). But the food was so good that it didn’t bother us much.The outside patio is also so relaxing. Perfect on a nice day.

Front Street can be a difficult place to park, However, I was fortunate on this occasion, and someone was coming out as we were pulling up. Other members of our group were not as lucky circling the surrounding area for about 20 minutes before finding parking. The restaurant was full of a lively atmosphere, and tables were filling up fast. There was a wonderful aroma radiating from the kitchen. We sat in the patio area, and the attractive live edge tables did not go unnoticed. I had the Turkey club, which I did enjoy. However, I do wish they did not use such a thick bread choice. Because of the thickness of the bread, the sandwich tasted a little dry, and it was difficult to taste the ingredients in the sandwich (turkey, lettuce, bacon, and tomato). Fortunately, I did order extra garlic aoli mayo on the side (which I was charged extra), however, the extra mayo, which I shared with another party who ordered the same sandwich, helped make the sandwich more palatable. The chicken tenders and the breakfast potatoes with the peppers and onions were not well received. The fries were amazing. Everyone loved the fries. One friend had the baised brisket burrito, which she loved. Other favorites were the cream brulee pancakes and the Turkey burger. If I return, I'll definitely try the shrimp and grits, which looked amazing on surrounding tables and the buffalo cauliflower, which it seemed everyone in the know was ordering.

Front Street Cafe in Philadelphia is a beloved all-day spot in Fishtown, known for its versatile menu and comfortable backyard. It’s perfect for any time of day, from a morning latte to late-night eats. The cafe area is great for casual meet-ups, while the backyard with a second bar is ideal for when the inside gets crowded. With affordable cocktails and better-than-expected food, it’s a place that’s universally loved and perfect for literally everyone.

I was thoroughly dissappointed with this place. The only nice thing was the ambiance and the decor but otherwise I dont understand the hype at all. My husband and I came on a random midafternoon for lunch. We had been wanting to try this place and finally got the time to. We were seated and it seemed like our server forgot about us. No one came to take our order for like 20 mins. It wasnt even that busy. We saw our server walk by our table a few times and she never attended to us. (Not sure if she did not know we were her table or what?) We finally put in our order and ordered the buffalo cauliflower, the veggie burger, and the chipotle turkey burger. All the dishes were underwhelming. The buffalo cauliflower lacked flavor and not sure why it was highly rated at one point. The FSC veggie burger was bland as well. The chipotle turkey burger was the only decent item. Overall, a very negative experience and especially with the poor service we are very turned off from this place.

This place is an absolute gem. Me and my girlfriend were visiting Philly for a day trip and we found this place and it did not disappoint! We’re looking forward to dining here on our next trip to Philadelphia.

Made it here for breakfast and they were very busy with a bit of a wait. However, the kitchen puts out amazing food very quickly so this should not be a worry to have. Interior is very welcoming and there is also a back patio when the weather is nicer. Drink and food selection was good, and there are lots of comfort food style breakfasts. Chilaquiles we're quite tasty and well put together. Very good place to stop in. Thanks

Perfect place for a quiet Sunday brunch. My family and I went here to close out my sisters birthday weekend and we were very happy with our choice. The food and drinks were amazing! Everyone in our party of 8 loved their dishes, which is definitely not something that happens often. We especially loved the huevos rancheros and the brisket burrito. A special shout out to our server Kasey! She was kind, attentive and very knowledgeable on the menu. A kind smile goes a long way and my entire family loved her. Amazing food/drinks and impeccable service. We definitely will be back!

My family and I visited front street cafe while staying in Philly and it was sooo amazing to see so many vegetarian/vegan options! I also loved the atmosphere of the place and the server was so happy and sweet! A little bit pricey, but the food was wonderful, and I was so thankful as a vegan traveling to see so many options for me. Thank you guys!
