I am really glad this place had seating available, because that of why we stopped to eat here. Service was great and so was the warm cider. They didn’t have a couple things on the menu we tried to order, but the Philly cheese steak I ended up getting was amazing. I didn’t particularly care for the hush puppies and the toast was too burnt for my taste, but overall a great experience. The chocolate milk was also super chocolatey.

Cried when I ate here; food reminded me of my childhood, eating breakfast every wednesday with my parents and grand parents. Took home a cinnamon roll for my grandma. Overall food was amazing, gave me a nostalgia punch. Service super friendly and prompt. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, great food. Everything we ordered was perfect. Butter was liquid like we like it! We came in a Monday when it wasn’t too crowded. We will be back again!

It was a delicious breakfast. Definitely recommend the Brown Sugar Apple French Toast. More than enough apples to get one with every bite. I’ll make sure this is on my list of restaurants to eat at when I’m here next year for Marathon Weekend.

Crispy chicken sandwich was out of this world! Don’t sleep on the sweet potato salad… I would have never guessed it would be so good! Scrapple burger and scrapple fries are amazing!

Recommend, meets expectations. The pancakes are huge and fluffy. Definitely enough to share between two. Got the pumpkins and it tasted great, not too sweet or dense. Perfect for the fall weather. Bacon was perfectly cooked. Chris, our server, and the other staff were nice and polite. Even though it’s busy, everyone still had a smile. This is just good, no nonsense, down home diner food.

They were out provolone and cheese steak of all things. They don't have cheese wiz at all anyway so probably not a big loss. The meatloaf was small but pretty good. The chicken sandwich was the best item we had. The pimento fries were pretty good as well. The soup beans definitely could use some salt or other spice. They were pretty bland. Our server Emma was excellent. She helped us make choices and was very attentive the entire time we were there. She even brought a homemade biscuit to eat when we had to change one of our orders due to them running out of cheese steak. Probably not thier best day so we will have to try them again some other day. Thank goodness Emma made it fun so all the issues did not completely ruin our meal

First time in Philly and this spot was a complete hit! The service was top-tier. As soon as I arrived I was immediately seated. The server, Angie, promptly took my order and was polite/efficient during the entire dining experience. The food came out quickly and was pretty good (see picture). And it was really affordable. The restaurant was also clean! I should also note all of this took place on a busy Sunday morning which makes this experience even more impressive.
