Lovely cup of NE clam chowder and cheesesteak panini.m with wonderfully crispy fries. Our server was very attentative and made us feel at home. The food came out quickly. This is my family's fav South Philly diner.

Classic South Philly environment. Staff is friendly but not corny friendly, they are Philly friendly. If ya dont know difference you will after you visit here.
The service was fast and my order was perfect.
4 eggs over medium (white was cooked and yolk was dunkable), hash browns with onions, toasted English Muffin, and sweet Italian sausage. The Coffee was diner good.
The interior was clean as well as the men's restroom.
If you are expecting...

Wife and I were in town visiting from Florida. We had just landed, got our rental, and saw Penrose. We stopped in, grabbed a breakfast, and liked it so much that we stopped in again on our way out of town. I recommended it to my son who lives in NJ & commutes to work in Philly.
