Chelsea HartmanJuly 27, 2017mac & cheese is amazing but if you want a good salad the MTO Market Salad is HUGE and delicious - I got both!
Natalie PaigeOctober 17, 2015Mac and cheese to die for. Meatloaf incredible and a wonderful atmosphere and staff. A must go to in Philly.

Stan HorwitzNovember 25, 2015The Thanksgiving turkey platter here is amazing! A nice size portion of succulent white meat with mashed potatoes and baby carrots was perfectly prepared and served. It is on the menu year round.

David RosenbloomNovember 24, 2014Awesome comfort food at this retro style diner. Matzoh ball soup is solid as well as the ALT sandwich. Chicken and waffles is a big item and the chocolate cake and milk is decadent.
Hugh McKinneyNovember 2, 2014The chicken and waffles are yummy. Put some syrup on the waffles then take a bite with chicken and the gravy. Super fantastic!
Kelly EriksonOctober 18, 2012Went there for my brothers birthday (which happens to be April Fools Day). Chicken and Waffles = to die for. Also, they have an awesome April Fools dessert special. Check it out to find out!

Tiff L.June 17, 2015Boozy brunch and I had the huevos rancheros. They bring you champagne and juice in little mason jars for the table
Dennis BMay 22, 2011The "Thanksgiving Dinner" is a must-order, with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and some of the best cranberry sauce I've had the pleasure of eating -- and I'm a cranberry sauce connoisseur.

Cyril S.December 20, 2015Good place, good food and good service. Take the monkey bread and crispy apple pie : delicious!!
Leanne AlyssaSeptember 30, 2014Get the mac n cheese!! It's delicious. And the ALT (avocado, lettuce, tomato) is a great vegetarian sandwich- Emily FarrickerApril 24, 2017The food isn’t too pricy. Start off with the Mac & Cheese and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and finish it off with the Key Lime Pie.
Rodney BarberMarch 17, 2015Everything is good but please do yourself a favor and start off with Sangria. Atmosphere is always lovely.

Felicia MaiseyOctober 5, 2013Waitress is nice, music is catchy, but too loud whilst eating. Turkey club not my favorite, but good proportion, and pulled pork was just okay. hipster spot w/heavier price tag due to the location.
