Note: Brunics is open for takeout only. There is no longer an option for dine in. We tried Brunics on our recent trip to Philly purely based on its close proximity to our Airbnb. Walked up expecting to be seated, but found out that they only do takeout now. We ordered at the window and waited outside. We had to wait a little long for our order to be ready, but the owner didn't seem to mind giving me coffee refills while I waited. Love that this place is a favorite among locals. There was an endless stream of people coming to pick up their meals. While we were waiting on our order, one of the guys in line was telling us about how he had been going to this place for years. The food itself is simple, but you can't beat the price. Glad that we stumbled on this local gem. read more

Haven't had a steak made this well in a long time!!!!! Can't wait to come back again but in the meantime I'm going to savor this one. read more

Brunics South Philly a nice little Breakfast and Lunch Oasis on 17th Street. I'm glad the locals know about it because I would have walked right by it. The building was kind of dark. They have a counter and tables but were doing a lot of delivery. Good standard cheesesteak, nice little place. According to the menu you can get a Cheesesteak at 6 a.m. and breakfast all day. read more

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! read more

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.

Horrible customer service! I ordered from them via Grubhub and the food was left on the porch without a call or knock. We realized part of our order was missing so we called back and got yelled at by the owner...he accused us of lying as opposed to apologizing and offering a refund or re-order. I didn't feel like continuing with him so I hung up and decided to just let the public know how rude and ignorant he was. read more

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. read more

I am addicted to scrapple. Is it really the remains of the pig after hot dogs have been made? Yes. Is it supposed to look like grey play-doh on the inside and a crisp turd on the outside? Yup. Is it a regional food that I think is over-the-moon delicious ? Absolutely. And as a Philadelphian I am familiar with our local diners and most are stingy with their scrapple. Not Brunics. The give me a healthy serving of scrapple goodness. Brunics is a greasy spoon that serves the neighborhood for breakfast and lunch. A family owned establishment, the owners are nice , but still have a no-nonsense South Philadelphia edge to them. If you not familiar with this sort of establishment, then you may be put off by the service or the salty language. The food is coked in a pool of butter. Vegans, like an ancient vampire exposed to the suns deadly rays, would hiss and turn to ashes the minute they inhaled the buttery deliciousness of the air, which is fine by me. They aren't expensive and the portions are huge. The place is a bit tight when they are busy. My biggest qualm is that the vulgar language is a bit much. I may be a prude, but sometimes we don't have to hear the f-word three times in the same sentence. read more

Nice neighborhood place in south Philly. I've only had breakfast here, but it was pretty good. The home fries are deep fried but weren't overly greasy. Omelets are nicely cooked and the coffee is good. It's probably an average breakfast, closer to 3 stars, but I bumped it to 4 because the people working there were great. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. They were very easy to engage in conversation and really friendly. Several customers came in while I was there, I really get the feeling that there are many regulars and the employees know them all by name. That's a great thing in a place like that. read more

My buddy sent me out here for some breakfast sandwiches yesterday. They got a handful of Bacon egg & cheeses which I need to try next time. They put the Bacon on the grill and then pour the eggs over them and toss it all in the roll in one piece. I had the sausage egg and cheese on a long roll, i only finished it today because i also had an order of incredible french toast which I definitely need to order with Bacon next time.

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.

Visiting Philly, we really wanted to go small business, micro brewery, but City Tap was one of the…read moreonly locations where I could find a gluten-free menu & they offered a lot of local brews on draft options- so we settled in. 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.

We were visiting philly for the weekend and wanted to grab dinner at a spot in the area. We grabbed…read morea reservation a few hours in advance and were seated right away as we entered. Service was very friendly and not too overbearing with just a few check-ins here and there. We got the fish and chips, trout, salmon, and steak. I liked everything overall but my favorite was actually the steak. Good flavors across the board and the greens that came with it was a nice touch. The fish and chips were pretty good too - among the better ones Inhave tried. Cute spot with nice decorations. Would be great for a date or small groups. If I happened to be in the area, I'd be interested in grabbing a seat at the bar next time.

The waiter was funny and engaging without being too overly zealous. Our food was excellent. I had the Deviled Eggs which were AMAZING! Perfect portion and creamy filling makes it extravagant: The welsh rarebit reminded us of a beer pretzel, but if it were sourdough. My risotto was unbelievable. Super rich and creamy- felt more like artichoke dip- I would have liked some bread or something to scoop it up. A neat place in Philly to grab a bite, hang with friends!

I'd say they did a great job seating us and making our food in a timely fashion. Everything sounded good on the menu so it was pretty hard to choose . The girls had a kimchi bowl and huevos rancheros. I opted for the cannoli French toast, which was a great decision. I added two eggs over easy so I didn't feel as bad eating all that sugar! If you haven't already seen my pictures make sure you look because your mouth will be watering as soon as you do ! That cannoli French toast was amazing. I ate all of it. The crème and berries The eggs were perfect. The girls loved theirs too. For sure this restaurant always has a waitlist and for good reason. Our server was sweet. She worked hard and everyone looked like they like their job. I would 100% keep this on my list of favorite places in Philadelphia.

Since it was the weekend, we had to wait in the lobby downstairs for about 15-20 minutes. Luckily, we made it up just in time to catch the sunset and take some amazing photos. We were also fortunate enough to find seats at the bar, but if you want guaranteed seating, it's definitely better to make a reservation in the main seating area. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Valet / Nearby Parking Atmosphere - The view is absolutely the star of the show. Watching the sunset over the city from this height creates an unforgettable experience, especially for a special occasion. The space itself feels upscale and lively without being overwhelming. Service - The service was excellent. Our bartender, Michael, made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. He was attentive, friendly, and added to the overall experience. My girlfriend especially appreciated the complimentary olives, which was a nice touch. What We Ordered - Old Fashioned (Very well balanced and smooth) Cucumber Martini (Refreshing and perfectly crafted) Final Thoughts - This was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. Between the stunning views, great drinks, and attentive service, it made for a memorable evening. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great lounge experience in Philadelphia.

Food (7/10) - Mediocre food for a four seasons place. Found two thick bones in my sea bass and a thick branch that you can't chew in the veggies. Pasta was decent but nothing to rave about. Popular trout sushi is overrated - ratio of crispy rice and trout isn't right. Service (10/10) - top notch! Ambiance (10/10) - Romantic, relaxed. Beautiful 360 skyline view all around Philadelphia. We got there before sunset and got to enjoy all colors of the sky. Hope you get the window tables but it's not guaranteed.

My only suggestion is they bring out room temperature butter bc the one I got had fridge burn flavor. I started off with a warm shrimp salad - absolutely delish - simple but elevated with lemon beurre sauce and lettuce, a parm shred and roasted tomatoes. I also had the steak frites and it was also very simple but perfect - garlic butter, crispy fries and a perfectly cooked strip steak. My waiter was ok but the real star was the bus boy. He was so kind and attentive.
