    Yo Adrian!! We all were sure that Rocky was going to win that first bout with Apollo. He trained on the streets of Philadelphia ... he had everyone watching thinking he's gonna win but the count went against him even though he was the champ! This visit had all the markings of a FOUR STAR rating ... but a left hook lowered it to the THREE STARS noted above ... not too shabby and a good eating experience but read on so you can discover the reasoning. We are in South Philly, which to the initiated means you have entered a world where parking and obeying traffic signage is an afterthought. It is not easy to navigate the streets Rocky trained on ... they are narrow with one ways showing up out of nowhere plus the parking ... oh to find a place to squeeze your Lexus in can take hours. Those realities pull a star off of this classic city corner luncheonette's rating since many of you don't want to take on Rocky just to sit down to have breakfast or lunch. That reality kept the four stars from this review that the eatery itself deserves because if getting there is a 15 round battle ... most of us will be worn down before awaiting the judges' decision. But, if you get to this South Philly corner joint and walk in through Brunic's front door I guarantee that you will be treated like family! Lots of love talk abounds in these tight quarters. Dan working behind the register is also the grill man but he has tales of this very busy and very popular location that once summer is over becomes an all nighter for those pulling all night activities into their schedules. Brunic's is not designed for a big gathering of the family. There are eight counter stools two with backs (I almost sat down in one but opted for a table with a view ... of the restaurant.) and three tables set for four each. That's it ... city street corner eating simplicity and I haven't been called "sweetie" and "love" this many times over a meal in years (I thought Marlene might be hitting on me but then she shared the love with all of her other customers.). The menu has prices that will make you smile all day long! Lots of great breakfast choices and sandwiches galore for lunch time ... I have a feeling their Philly Cheesesteak rocks!!! I asked my waitress, the lovely Marlene, for the breakfast fav...she started a never ending list but with my arm around her I ask, "sweetie, what is your best seller?" She said the French Toast with a side of meat ... not the "new" sour dough but the classic. Get the grill goin' and add some spicy Italian sausage my breakfast is ready to be put together. She smiles ... "you like powdered sugar love?" You bet!! Bring it on! So, in all its simplicity I get a nice plate of sugary cinnamon flavored toast right off the griddle with a nice big slab of sausage. Brunic's isn't fancy ... it's not chef designed in a lab ... its good food in a classic corner spot where the radio noise and happy voices fill the air while the Tastycakes tease on the counter, and you know you will walk out feeling good. Time to battle the cars with many dents speeding through signs that say stop but yo this is South Philly ... get over it! THINK FOUR STARS if you don't mind the journey to this corner in South Philly ... more than likely you'll find a way back because Dan will be smiling and Marlene will be sweet talking you!

    Decent cheese steak. It's more of a breakfast place, but the menu was decently sized with a few hot sandwiches. Friendly staff. Cash only!

    Old school Philadelphia Luncheonette. They were really busy. I can see why. The food is excellent and very inexpensive. The service was south philly fun! Fries were great super crispy without salt. Friend had French toast, I had steak egg and cheese. Went before the Phillys game.

    What reminded me of a Waffle House: South Philly Edition! If you have yet to try scrapple, make this the first place you taste it. Big fan. Real sp vibe inside. Roll was good, hot chocolate was clutch, and scrapple I could stomach.

    Brunics has absolutely amazing food. I have tried a variety of items off the menu and I have never had a bad meal. The wait time can be very long in the weekends and that can be a turnoff. The building is also pretty small so if it is crowded you feel like you get it the way of everyone else. Overall this place has awesome food and a very friendly staff. I would recommend if you are in the South Philadelphia area.

    It's ian Sausage and Egg Sandwich on a long roll

    This is breakfast... south Philadelphia , neighborhood, filled up for under $10 dollars and also satisfied. One of my buddies from the neighborhood told me about this spot when I move to south Philly and I am forever grateful. I have eaten here countless times and as much as I wish I could say I have tried everything I am heavily addicted to their Hot Italian sausage egg and cheese on a long roll (LONG ROLL very important do not forget.) also their scrapple is cooked perfect. The way they cook and season their eggs for sandwiches is unreal it's like a egg blanket that wraps around the sausage like a savory fluffy Cocoon... yes I went there. Every time I am in south Philly or stay at a friends I stop by or get it DELIVERED. Yes... delivered . Breakfast delivered to your home is one of the best inventions ever... and you don't have to lose your parking spot. Probably the best breakfast sandwich in Philadelphia and so simple.

    This is what they call a sausage egg and cheese. It was pathetic

    Everything was good except for those undercooked home fries -- maybe, it's just me. Anyway, I will definitely order from them again.

The chai latte had great depth and spice flavors, and the Shakshuka pastry was a great mix of flaky puff pastry and strong tomato and egg flavors. Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!

This was my first time actually trying it and it definitely lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. My wrap had chicken, hummus, lettuce, and feta, and it was so delicious. My chicken was very good, very tender and seasoned well. It also had a great creamy hummus to tie all the other ingredients together. The feta added just enough saltiness to balance out the rest of the flavors. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and my wrap was extremely soft, yet still maintained its form completely as I ate. I also ordered a Nutella hot chocolate. It was delicious! It was my fist time having a Nutella hot Chocolate. I usually just get a normal hot chocolate. The pita chips served as an additional side item with this sandwich and proved to be quite enjoyable. The pita chips had a good crunch and were able to pair with the wrap very well. I ended up eating all of the pita chips! It was a great lunch and I enjoyed my wrap! I would likely order from Café Square One again in the future, especially, if that wrap is still on their menu!

    Dear reader, We went…read moreto City Tap in Philly with a large group just for drinks and had a thoroughly good time. The $10 martinis on Friday were an excellent deal and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. A well-priced martini always sets a promising tone, and these did exactly that. The bartenders were helpful and kept things moving impressively well, even with a group our size, which was much appreciated. The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

We ordered the ten-spice wings- and a gluten-free pizza- both were hearty, delicious, well-flavored devourable. The flight price on the menu says $14 for a local flight, but this has changed- it's priced per beer- viewable on Untapped App- so a flight is more like $18-20, because of the increased price- I opted for a pint, but the bartender was super friendly about allowing a few sip samples before deciding. The place had a great ambiance- the bar had sports tvs playing, the side tables had very happy hour chat vibe, and the back tables had a more intimate feeling. Overall, would recommend- it was a nice experience.
