- Ana BretonJune 13, 2014Here's the thing, this place has eighteen billion types of food. Italian, Mexican, American, breakfast, you name it. None is good. Run away. Every meal can be had WITH A SIDE OF SPAGHETTI.Upvote2Downvote
Jessica PuglieseJune 7, 2018Solid diner food. The western omelette is classic and comes with enough hash browns to keep you full for days. Service is quick and friendly. Overall, this is a classic Philly diner in the best way.UpvoteDownvote
Sara SwedeJanuary 17, 2012If you want eggs for breakfast or any time of day I would recommend this place. Also the waitresses are super sweet!Upvote2Downvote
Clementine MottolaDecember 7, 2012Super fast service! Not brag worthy quality, but definitely not bad. Huge soda cups. Honey mustard was funky tasting but homemade. Huuuge portions of food. Canned soup. Open 24 hours!Upvote1Downvote
The Corcoran GroupMarch 28, 2010Grab the City Paper and spend a lazy Sunday morning reading 'I love you I hate you' over their sausage and mushroom omelette. Good people watching if you get a booth by the windows.Upvote3Downvote
