    This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch! They have plenty of seating with tables and a counter…read moreinside, plus covered outdoor seating if you'd rather enjoy some fresh air. I stopped in for lunch and ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Wow! The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Then I added a side of Onion Rings, and let me tell you, these easily rank in my Top 4 onion rings of all time. Perfectly cooked, crispy, and absolutely delicious. My future daughter-in-law ordered the Ricotta & Fruit Toast, and it looked amazing. Fresh, colorful, and almost too pretty to eat... almost. If you're out walking the trails by the river and start feeling hungry, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, or just a great place to relax for a bit, you won't be disappointed. And if you're ordering the onion rings, don't plan on sharing--they're that good!

You order your meal and you are given a number. You take your number to an area or table of your desire and they will bring the meal out to you. They've had interactive story times, games, with a lot of space to run around to get all their kids energy out. Great space to meet up with other families and friends.

I wouldn't say anything is particularly special, but nothing we've tried is terribly disappointing either. The menu titles towards guilty pleasure-type food, like Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles. Plates are large and busy and crowd-pleasing. If you order a salad here, make sure to ask that it be lightly dressed. The ambience and service are both good but diminished because you must shout to be heard by the person next to you.

    HOW IS THIS PLACE SO BUSY?!…read more I really wanted to love it. The website looked great, and Sunday brunch feels like something that's honestly hard to mess up -- so maybe that's part of why it was so disappointing. It was kind of a disaster. And yet... it was packed? The food just wasn't good. Part of our order came out wrong (fine, it happens), but when the correct dishes arrived, they were cold. One plate had avocado purée that had already turned brown. The croissants were dense like dinner rolls. The short rib burrito had zero flavor. Truly zero. Breakfast potatoes were cold. Poached egg was seriously under poached. Server offered us utensils 15 minutes after our dishes arrived (we already asked someone else). Okay but the absolute worst part? The mimosas were completely flat. FLAT. How do you mess up bubbles? Apparently by having Prosecco on tap with a draft system that isn't up to par. It's hard to recover from lifeless champagne at brunch. The whole experience felt like a place that really wants to be a great city spot but hasn't figured out how to execute and gets by on decor, loud music, and literally nowhere else to go for a good Sunday brunch in Manayunk. The bartenders weren't particularly friendly -- with one exception: one noticed merch (from a somewhat obscure video game) my friend was wearing and bought him a shot, which was honestly the highlight of the afternoon.

    Sabrina's has been on my brunch places to try for a long time. I chose the Wynnwood location…read morebecause it was one with a shopping center and easier to find a parking place. We went on a Monday around 12pm. It was busy, but we were seated right away. Our waiter (Zacharius) was very nice. He helped my daughter decided between sweet and savory. She decided on Chicken and Biscuits (savory). Little did we know, it was a new item on their menu. It took a little longer to prepare. She didn't mind the wait if it was going to be good. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as anticipated. She said it tasted ok but the chicken was overcooked and the gravy was too thick. She let them know, and they seemed glad for the advice. The waiter said he would let the chef know so he could improve it. I decided on the Brioche French toast w/ strawberries. A side of scrapple and coffee. The French toast just tasted like toasted brioche bread (unfortunately). The syrup did the heavy lifting along with the strawberries to make it good. My advice would be to dip it in the batter (if there was any) longer to give it more flavor. I will not get that again! The coffee was pretty good. I also ordered a side of scrapple. Not telling my age......but I've been around for a while! Never in my life have I ever seen scrapple stand up (see photo). It was hard! Crispy like a potato chip! I was surprised that they had the nerve to serve it to me! I did break a piece off, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then I sent it back! I rarely send food back, but this was unexceptable. I must say they soon came back with some properly cooked scrapple. It tasted fine! Lastly, they have metal chairs. The chairs are very uncomfortable. Not sure if this is so you don't stay too long or not, but if that's the strategy....it works! I really don't like to give bad reviews. I try my best to find the positive if I can. Unfortunately this wasn't a very good first vist to Sabrina's for me, but they're staff was very nice and pleasant. The atmosphere and decor (except the hard chairs) was nice as well! That's why they get 2 stars. I will try another location sometime in the future and definitely order something else.

Seemed like a pretty standard Jewish-style deli, and the sides were tasty as well. One of the people at our table ordered carrot cake, which was quite large, and I got to taste some of it, which was tasty too. All the staff there were very friendly too, and it's fairly loud in there like your typical local deli. I would consider going back again if I'm in the area or some friends are going.

Hostess-very rude, no smile, barely spoke up to us. we prayed she wasn't our waitress too At the table -trash on the floor from previous diner(s) Our waitress was super nice. We ordered a Corned Beef special and a Roast beef special. When they arrived we couldn't tell the difference. I've never had such dark brown corned beef served to me Neither sandwich had any taste or flavor, like they forgot to put the pickling spice on. Maybe they aren't making the meats in house anymore? Pickle Bar - wow, you might as well just serve us the few sparse items that you now offer. Disappointing Overall- we travel a distance to come here and will take Hymies off our list. I've been a customer since Barson's on Haverford Ave in the 70s I had a sense that the love and care was no longer there. Sad
