Waffles in Philadelphia, PA

“I’ve been here before but wanted to treat myself to a bag of beans! The barista was so kind and warned that the bag I grabbed was on the high end price wise. Their words: “this bag is roasted by the godfather of specialty coffee”. I used to be a quality control manager for a local shop in Philly so thankfully I knew what I was getting myself into! I ground the coffee beans using my baratza burr grinder and brewed it using my chemex. WOW! The coffee roasted in Norway is maybe the best at home coffee I’ve ever had. It’s very tea like and sweet with such a nice acidity. Perfect for this rainy Monday 😊. If you like specialty coffee and baristas with great attention to detail, give this place a visit. They know what they’re doing!“

“Had the Spring Fling coffee today, IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Never have I had coffee like this. It was robust but mild, with hints of lavender, thyme and pink peppercorns. Absolutely a must have for those that go regularly. I live in NJ so sadly I won’t be here often and I’m sad about that.“

“I have recently tried their strawberry lemonade water ice and it was sooo good it has become my go to order and they also have very other good treats like cookies, ice cream, milkshakes, waffles with or without ice cream, etc. their menu has everything listed“

“Always a pleasure stopping by Richies. Friendly, fast service. Great food and the coffee is always hot and fresh! On a hot day grab their ice coffee. You will not be disappointed!“

“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!“

“The food is amazing. My family loves it. I love it“

“Love the food they NEVER disappoint :)“

“We love their custard waffles. Their staff is wonderful and they have a great variety of juice drinks along with their teas.“

“I didn't get to taste the food because one of her workers had a bad attitude. When dealing with the public professionalism is a must. I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.“

“I've never been here, but I order through Uber Eats all the time. Their breakfast sandwiches are very good. I usually get the BOGO Grilled Cheese on a raisin bagel(1 Pork Bacon/1 Beef Scrapple) or a couple 2 Egg/Meat/Cheese raisin bagels. Sometimes I'll grab a couple Hash Brown Patties also. The food is not always made perfectly, but I've never had the food be nasty.

There are a couple of improvements they could make, though. One would be to add more meat comparable to the price that has to be paid for it. Normally, there are two whole slices of bacon on the sandwiches. (I believe three or four should be the norm, but that's just my opinion and love for bacon. I digress.) When you pay $4 for just extra meat, my sandwich should have four to five slices on it now, not THREE. I haven't paid for extra meat since that one incident. Nobody would be happy with a price tag like that. The other improvement would be to how the hash brown patties are prepped for delivery. There should be a small sheet of foil or parchment to keep the patties from sticking to each other as they cool. They are obviously placed on top of each other while they are still hot. As they cool, they bind to each other. Separating them without them just breaking to pieces is almost impossible. It's annoying.

Overall, though, I'm satisfied with the food I get from EB&D. The few inconsistencies I've experienced aren't enough to stop me from ordering from them. I hope my suggestions will be considered if the owner/management reads them. :)“
