I've been coming to Bread and Butter since they first opened, and they've been consistently amazing ever since. My entire family eats here, and the atmosphere is so warm and family oriented that it feels like walking into a family reunion every time you visit. The food is ALWAYS incredible fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I come here so often that they already know my order before I even say it! That kind of service and consistency is hard to find. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Uptown Philadelphia. read more

Yummy omelette, great homefries and well, I love the food so much, I keep ordering again and again. The sausages on the other hand were very dry... like extremely dried from overcooking them. read more

Omg my whiting sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, salt and pepper was amazing. It almost didn't make it home. When I got home I forgot to take a picture! It was in toasted wheat bread. Perfect combo for me. The staff is always friendly and welcoming as I frequent this place a lot. When you walk in there is plenty of seating and tables, a nice little spot if you want to also sit and eat. Next time I'll get a picture of my sandwich because I'm definitely buying this whiting sandwich again! Sooooo good! read more

Babe brought me to this spot because he use to frequent here in the past. It's a small deli with a dine in area. He felt so bad because I didn't enjoy the food. I went with Whiting and cheese grits and boy was I upset because that fish was not fresh and it tasted gross. The grits was ok but who puts two slices of cheese on top of grits like that. Babe got home fries and beef bacon and that just didn't do it for me either. The bacon was salty and I've had better home fries. Maybe other items on the menu are better but I'm sorry I won't be returning to Bread & Butter. Service was great no problem there. read more

Bread & Butter in the Cedarbrook/East Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia is a Korean owned breakfast/lunch restaurant that is primarily a take out joint with a few tables along a wall for those of us who prefer to eat when our meals are right from the grill. I stopped in around 10 recently for their Veggie Omelet (onion, green pepper, mushroom, tomato and cheddar cheese), Home Fries with fixings, Rye Toast and Coffee. Service was friendly and attentive and the meal filling. But, there were a few things of note that were problematic. First, everything came served in To Go styro, with prepackaged plastic flatware. Even the decent hot Java came that way - all throw away recyclables and single use materials. I guess that is cheaper than having a working dishwasher, but ecologically unsound, and not designed to make anyone feel at home. Second, the only green vegetable in the omelet was chunks of green pepper, making for a bland taste saved only by the melted cheddar (an up charge). Third, same was true for the extra topping mixed into the home fries; more of the same onion and green pepper from the omelet that wasn't sautéed enough to be soft and pliable when stirred into the potatoes for the expected savory flavor. Forth, the taters while plentiful, were somewhat dry and mealy, rather than a pleasant texture and chew. Too many corners cut here to show appreciation for the customer. Someone with culinary skills should examine the otherwise good menu to be sure the right ingredients are being used to present the best version of these dishes. My breakfast was certainly not. Edible, but regrettable. Could have been so much more. read more

The food was horrible!! Ordered French toast and it literally was toast that was dry and with some butter and cinnamon on top! Could not cut it at all ! I asked for extra butter due to the dry French toast and the lady behind the counter had an attitude about it .. she brought out the extra butter and then said is this enough?? wtf never again! read more

Just completed my 4.47 mile walk and my son calls me asking can I make breakfast? I said no. He asked can I stop here. Parking: Street. Atmosphere: A little loud. Comfy chairs. You can sit in or take out. I called ahead. Service: Nice. Food: My son ordered the salmon special with cheese grits and raisin toast. He enjoyed. The salmon was cooked just right. The grits need seasoning added which they ask if you'd like to do this once your order is completed. Overall the place works for a quick breakfast. I would go back. read more

I was looking for some place to get breakfast, and this place showed up. I was in my car tired and on my way home. I didn't feel like cooking, but I wanted a real breakfast. I gave them a call, and was greeted with a friendly voice and asked to hold. I told her that this was my first time, so I had a few questions. She was very helpful and kind. I ordered two fish (whiting ) and grits platters & coffee. When I got there, I was impressed with the various muffins and fruits on display. Also, there was a nice selection of beverages to choose from.On top of that, my order was ready and waiting. The staff was very friendly, efficient, and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu. If you want a decent & delicious breakfast at a reasonable price, give them a try. read more

the service and food were equally amazing!! im very serious, I can't wait to bring more people for the experience

Very good food. People are very nice as well. Great smoothies. Nice and chill environment

a waste of my money . it was wayyyyyy to much butter in my grits . my egg sandwich was greedy as well with little to no eggs on it .

Had a urge for a omelet and thought I'd try out Bread & Butter. Had pretty good reviews so why not! It's located on Wadsworth Ave. in East Mt. Airy with only street parking (no meters). Parking did'nt seem to be a problem though. I was confused till I asked some people where this restaurant was. The sign said "Breakfast Junction", but that was the place! I guess they never changed the sign (see pictures below). Once inside the place was pretty nice. A neighborhood homey feel with plenty of seating. You can tell they have a lot of regulars. The waitress was busy at the register, but stopped to give us menus and told us to have a seat. She is a great multitasker and knows her job well. Went back to checking people out and before we knew it came to take our order. My friend decided on the fried flounder, grits and eggs w/ toast. I got a cheese w/ bacon omelet and pancakes. We both wanted coffee. We had no complaints, the coffee hot, Omelet fluffy and cheesy. I've had better pancakes but still a 4 out of 5. My friend did say the portion of her fish could have been a little bigger. The prices were great! and i like that we didn't feel rushed. Special shout out to Violet (our waitress). She was awesome and made us feel at home. I would recommend this place and would differently go back. read more

I normally don't leave reviews and I Haven't ordered from here in a little bit and maybe my memory is off but the food is just not as good as I remember it. Or maybe it was the fact that you can only see behind the grill from outside because they block everything and when I was leaving I had a look inside through the front glass and saw the one cook touching food with his bare hands. I then saw him drop a piece of bacon and pick it up off the floor and act like he wasn't going to use it and then throw it back in the pile of cooked bacon. I will never be going back there and I recommend you do the same. read more

This just might be one of my go to breakfast spots while in town going forward. I ordered an omelette and cheese grits. Everything came out fresh and hot. The food was really good and for how busy it was they got the order out in decent timing. It's small inside so if you plan to eat there manage your expectations as you may not get a table however, service was really good. Staff was friendly and I'm really glad they came through because I place I originally planned to try was closed. Parking might be a little tough but trust me it's worth it. read more

Breakfast sandwiches were super small and not worth the money at all I was very disappointed and not happy with my food being almost 30 dollars for 2 sandwiches and 2 orders of grits it didn't make sense to me at all I think I'll just stick to my other spot read more

Ordered food from here this morning! I've actually been here a couple times. Food is always delicious and bonus they make smoothies, which a lot of breakfast places does not.

Visited a close friend in the area and we wanted to stay pandemic-safe and get takeout for breakfast. We looked up some local places and found this wonderful hole in the wall. The food is inexpensive and exactly what you want from a local diner/eatery. I got a simple meals of eggs, bacon, and potatoes, and they did not skimp on the portions or flavor! I could tell when we went to pick up our order that Bread & Butter seems to know their clientele very well and is full of repeat customers. I'm excited to come back for some shrimp and grits next time I'm in the area! read more

Today I ordered a bacon and egg sandwich. The bacon was hard and dry. I didn't notice until I was at work. I called the restaurant yo let them no. The waitress answered the phone. When she told the owner that I had a complaint about my sandwich she refused to take the call. How unprofessional and uncaring. Will not patronize this place again! read more

Had breakfast here today. Ordered the cream chipped beef with home fries and a coffee. The portion size is more than enough. The food was fresh and overall tasty. The staff was friendly & service was prompt, I didn't have to wait long, I ordered to take out. They are similar to other breakfast & lunch spots in the area, definitely one of the good ones that I'll be returning to. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Sue, the owner was extremely rude to me and my friend. We came to check this place out since we thought maybe the food was good so we wanted to find out... Sue starts yelling at us "who the f**k these two kids start asking stupid questions!" All we wanted to know if the food was good or not... After the way she treated us. We won't be coming back again.. Sue, I don't think you deserve any customers.. U are rude, obnoxious, selfish, and ignorant.. Don't try to take over any resturants... All your former employees have left you and we know the truth about u.. read more

Tried this place for breakfast and loved it!!! We ordered a simple sandwich and waffle with grits.....I have to say it was delicious and plan to return as a regular. The only thing we thought could be done differently is waiting to add fruit topping to hot waffles as it makes them soggy in Togo containers read more

Very friendly service they show you the food before you take it home to make sure everything is to your liking. They ask if you want them to put the syrup on or self serve and everything looks clean and inviting. read more

Look at this feedback in my comment I posted below. You notice she tried to put it back on me when I'm clearly calling out the shady practices. Then tried to "all lives matter" me like Asian and Black people face the same issues. Again, I called them out and they tried to shut me up. Doesn't matter cause I reported them to the tax bureau. Been going to this place for years. I understand prices change but what they charged me for my recent order was absurd and they couldn't justify it. Said they charge more for meals on long roll since they use more food. This was not the case. Nevertheless, further inspection of my receipt showed they charged more in sales tax than what's legally allowed. They tried to shut me up in front of customers by giving me money out the tip jar. You may see this as a honest mistake but I truly believe they thought I was dumb and seemed surprised when I bought up numbers. I'm sure they feel this away about most of their patrons who are Black. I suggest sticking with a place that values your business and community. Shop Black owned places. Breakfast Boutique is not that far and are similarly priced. read more

First off let me say that I absolutely love breakfast and Im always looking for a new place to try. I decided this morning to try this place:( I had a bad feeling when I called but I dismissed it. I wished I would have trusted my intuition:( My entire platter was terrible!!!! The pancakes were dry, huge, flavorless, hard circles- Just awful! I mean ridiculously dry:( The eggs were runny and tasted like those fake eggs made with water added to them- disgusting! And don't let me forget the homefries- they were hard, bland, and tasted extra old- not fresh at all! I had to throw the entire platter away. Luckily I got some coffee from Dunkin- the only bright spot of my breakfast this morning.... Sorry guys, but my food sucked and Im sooo disappointed that I decided to spend my hard earned money on the nastiest breakfast I have ever had... Thumbs down, I definitely do not recommend this place. The cashier was friendly tho;) read more
