Everything I've had is delicious. Portions are huge! Only negatives (shared with most other great brunch places in the city) - it's cash only & on the weekends you're in for a wait. Not BYOB anymore.
What's Good HereMarch 29, 2016Chicken & Waffles Benedict - southern fried boneless chicken thigh and two poached eggs on buttermilk waffle half with maple syrup and hot sauce hollandaise - and a side of Southern cheese grits
Hessa Al ZamelJune 10, 2015My sister and I both shared the red velvet pancake + the 3 eggs omelet with american cheese. Both dishes were amazingly delicious.. But next time, we'd share only 1 dish, cause their's is really big😳
Amy CoatesAugust 21, 2016short rib hash was more than enough food for two. I liked the potato pancake base and rosemary homefries better than the meat and eggs! waitress also recommends the cookie dough/red velvet pancakes
- Djaniella D.March 4, 2016Chicken & Waffles Eggs Benedict. Don't even think twice about whether or not this combination will work because IT DOES. You won't regret it!
Karli ScottAugust 23, 2015Great food and friendly service. Be ready to wait for a table, but it's totally worth it! I loved their omelette, but I'm definitely getting their pancakes next time!
LJ KissAugust 20, 2016The place is great, the short rib Benedictine excellence as the red velvet pancake. Nice attention from writers. But the one in the picture has no clue on how to treat costumes.
Sean McilvriedDecember 28, 2013Great food been here many times and waiter today just completely ignored my table refilled everyone's coffee and just kept walking past my table,will visit again but will make sure not to have waiter
Zein SamerSeptember 14, 2016The picture should say it all! The Eggs Benedict are great & Red Velvet Pancakes are a must try! Enjoy :)
The chicken waffle Benedict are to die for here, go with some regular ice tea. The wait for seating Mayb u need to be open minded with, and come prepared coz it can take anything between 25 to 45 mins
ℳansour αℓтαууαrJanuary 10, 2016These people serve breakfast for kings/queens, really filling portions. Red velvet pancakes! Been through that before, but a crème brûlée french toast? I tried it, I loved it, I think its exceptional.
Marie La RueNovember 26, 2018Super popular breakfast spot. Large selection of dishes, sweet and savoury. Huge portions. Everything was a gazillion calories. Did I say HUGE portions? Had tomato soup and veggie burger. It was OK.
Jay GaoOctober 24, 2016The smoked salmon eggs Benedict (forgot the actual name) was so good!!! Really friendly staff and the food was great! Will be back soon!
Kane AlbarronDecember 2, 2019It’s mostly a hype place. Interesting menu of sweet breakfast items, not all that different than ihop. Food is just okay, but not worth the wait, paying in cash, or putting up with the attitude.- Raj SarmaAugust 6, 2014Portions here are enormous, so don't be afraid to share your food. The red velvet pancakes are amazing and definitely over the top. It's HUGE! So order for the table.
Dan GerbargDecember 8, 2017Portions are massive! Creme brûlée French toast is wicked and the kitchen sink will fill you up for a while.
Patrick WardAugust 3, 2015Great for brunch. There is always a wait though and they don't take reservations. Put your name down and then walk to the nearby Starbucks for a coffee while you wait
A SNovember 30, 2015The creme brulee French toast is good (though I would have preferred more syrup, otherwise the bread can seem dry). Try the lox benedict too, and slather it in hot sauce!
RCApril 27, 2016Chicken and waffles! Individually each ingredient was fantastic, together...amazing! Get yourself some alcoholic coffee like "the dude". Great place, always busy.
Hands down the best breakfast in Philly. Everything is so good I can't recommend one thing over the other. That being said...........the pumpkin spice waffles are ridiculous! 👌
Ibrahim SulaimanAugust 20, 2016I triad the red velvet pancake it was really good 👌🏻 however the plate was large and too much for one person I hope if they offer smaller plate
Davis KennedyDecember 22, 2014I had the crab cakes topped with egg Benedict. It was flavorful, the eggs were just right. I added a side of their chorizo which completed this great brunch.
Sandra RubinchikSeptember 18, 2016If you're indecisive like me, the Lox Benedict (served on rye with a dollop of cream cheese) is basically two breakfasts in one.
Sophia HJuly 4, 2016Red velvet pancakes were great but way too much! Omelets are great but salty, probably b/c I had turkey bacon and ham (both obviously already salted). With fruit side and toast, it was very filling.
Martu LoncaMarch 3, 2019Chicken waffles Benedict was tasty. More hollandeise sauce needed! French toast stuffed with banana was incredible 🤤
They have amazing vegan/vegetarian options. The vegan sausage and tofu scramble are excellent. Also the creme brûlée french toast is delicious.
Dan JenkinsSeptember 17, 2015Everything is good here except the potential wait due to it's reputation and popularity. In other words - Green Eggs Cafe Is da bomb!
Natasha NicoleJanuary 11, 2015Great service, even better food. Get the red velvet pancakes. Come early n be prepared to wait for large parties. Well worth it though!- NathanJanuary 10, 2017Benedict can be done gluten free with potato pancakes instead of bread. Tasted great. Get fruit as your side or it's a lot of potato.
Luis Araya MoreraFebruary 2, 2013We had the Breakfast Burrito, the Kitchen Sink Skillet and a children size order of Red Velvet Pancakes. Everything was AMAZING!!! But the rest in the menu looked good too.
Nicole 🍺September 12, 2012Favorite brunch spot. Usually a wait on the weekends. (Table of 2 will get seated way faster than larger groups) Love the red velvet pancakes and breakfast burrito.
Ricky SherrillMay 19, 2018Their biscuits are a must try. Order extras because they will disappear quick.
RamyaJune 25, 2016Red velvet pancake is pretty much a cake. Amazing options and large portion sizes.
CalJanuary 1, 2013Great for brunch but very large portions so bring and appetite! It's also BYOB so if looking to drink mimosas or bloody Mary's have some with you.
angela gaylorMarch 1, 2016This place has a some crazy pancakes, and french toast. I actually had the peaches and cream oatmeal, and it was amazing!
Ronnie RothDecember 1, 2015Everything is amazing here! Make sure to get the chicken and waffles Benedict. Also, get the red velvet pancakes!
RachelAugust 7, 2016CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH STUFFED FRENCH TOAST. I'll just leave that there. 👌🏻 but really, you can't get French toast much better than what I had this morning.
Brittany CraigheadOctober 27, 2013Best service in Philly! They're now open until midnight! You don't want to miss out!
Desiree SeveranceSeptember 26, 2015The "Kitchen Sink" was to die for! Huge portions as well, take it home with you and have it for lunch too!
Ben OstranderApril 30, 2013The shrimp and grits is great. Fantastic menu all around. There may be a line but it moves quickly. Make sure to bring cash.
Henri L'îleSeptember 14, 2013Food was great and wonderful service.. had a nice lunch here with a really good friend of mine. Nice to have a pleasant place to eat in the gayborhood!- The peanut butter cup latte is amazing. The oatmeal specials are pretty dense and filling even though they aren't huge.
Dan ScanlonAugust 9, 2014The red velvet pancakes are extremely chocolatey. Even if you can eat, you won't finish these.
IsaBella DeSandroApril 6, 2016The Peanut butter and jelly French toast is the best meal I have ever had!
Michael Seymour BlakeDecember 31, 2016Deep fried Oreo French toast... red velvet pancakes... eggs Benedict... this place will not disappoint. Come here with a huge appetite. Portions are not small.
nicky willisMarch 27, 2015Huge portions and great tasting food. A little pricey so be sure to take your wallet... Lol👍👍
