Every time we come here, It's worth going...We really enjoy this Diner...Always trying something new..!!!

Great food and wonderful staff.

Service was very good but that's pretty much the best part. Food was mediocre, and very small portions. I had to go somewhere else to eat afterwards. I got the chocolate cake which was not good, maybe if they had warmed it up it would've been better but it was cold. To be fair, I didn't ask them to warm it up but I kind of thought they would on their own. I didn't eat much of it as it was dry and fairly tasteless. They require masks still, I find that silly. I wouldn't return.

it was my first time here today, and i will definitely be back. the staff was so kind and lovely, and the food was great. i ordered a veggie omelette and home fries and loved it. didnt get a picture of the food but heres my shirley temple!

Ther service is great and the is delicious. food.

So Good!! We wanted a quick place to eat after leaving the Camden aquarium and I found this place on the map. I am SO glad I did! The food was incredible. The service was also excellent, very friendly waitress! We live an hour away but I’d go back for that chicken parm! ?

Went here for breakfast as it was on the way to the airport. Arrived at the entrance and cashier said that the waiter who was standing next to be (on her phone) would be seating me. I waited for a few second and then said good morning. No response. Said good morning again and unless to have a hearing problem you would hear me. Another waiter came across the diner and seated me. Later I had to chase a waiter to get a refill of coffee. Had the steak and eggs. All cooked as ordered and the quality was good.

Incredibly fast service. Good food and plenty to choose from. Real authentic South Philly feel with a friendly wait staff who feel more like 2nd cousins than a wait staff. Very close to stadiums and FDR with a big counter available for quick solo meals. Great spot. Highly recommend.

Egg omelets not hot enough, large quantity of food, diner portion sizes. Doesn't feel like quality though. More like quantity.

The wait staff is very nice! It's clean and decently priced and their strawberry cheesecake is tasty. Their food however is very very disappointing. I will go back if needed but won't seek it out.
