ELEVEN ELEVEN is new to Philly but not to the business of providing fantastic food, service, and…read moreambiance for the complex brunch scene in Philly. I came early to beat the crowd that I know looms on the popular Brunch days-Saturday and Sunday, and I'm glad I did. I was greeted as soon as I entered, and the host gave me a menu with a plethora of brunch options. I ordered the french toast, turkey sausage patties, and fish and grits to get a comprehensive range of what the chefs had to offer. The sides of the french toast were given that perfect brown char, and the homemade icing with whipped cream topped off this go-to brunch item that didn't even need syrup as it was blooming with cinnamon, icing, and a buttery exterior that was instantly satisfying. The fish for the fish and grits was fried to golden perfection, and its seasonings added a great combination to my cheesy grits. The grits were al dente and were garnished well with extra spices to add additional flavoring alongside the fried fish. ELEVEN ELEVEN is a great place to come and have breakfast/brunch with friends and family. Moreover, it has an ideal scene for taking pictures to savor the moment and post on Facebook, IG, or anywhere else. They also play music that will leave you dancing in your seat while the food has your taste buds and stomach dancing with the delicious flavors staff at ELEVEN ELEVEN curated on their menu. I recommend LEVEN ELEVEN and will return the next time I am in the city.

There is a mismatch between the advertised vibe they are going for (whimsical, fun, fantasy) and…read morethe actual location/experience, which had more of a roadside diner feel, though less established, friendly, and nostalgic. All the walls need painting or wallpaper touchups. Decor is minimal and half-baked. Tables are old and don't contribute to the aesthetic. No printed menus - just a minuscule QR code taped to the table. Water was served in plastic cups. Music is mild hip hop -- with commercials between songs at times. The staff is not unfriendly but definitely did not add to the experience. When I handed my credit card over with the check, I was asked verbally if I wanted to add a tip and for how much - rather than filling this in myself on a printed receipt. I had the classic French toast. The brioche bread did not seem like it was from a freshly made loaf - more the consistency and shape/size of packaged bread from a grocery store. The flavor was nice/fine, but it didn't really have the quality of good brunch restaurant French toast - for instance, it was very soft throughout including on the outsides, without any crisp or crunch from the cooked batter. I also ordered turkey sausage which was on the menu, but was told this wasn't available. Overall, I think there are some nice ideas behind the theory but the execution was completely incongruent with this. If they want to go for a more simple home cooked breakfast spot vibe, they are closer to realizing that. But they have a very long way to go to compete with the higher end brunch scene in Philadelphia. My star rating reflects the expectation of the former, and would be more like 3.5 if considering as just a simple breakfast place.

The food is delicious, carefully cooked to order and full of love. The dishes are not just your typical breakfast fare but a bit adventurous. I had a pork omelette with rye toast and potatoes. We also got the biscuits and turkey gravy topped off with two iced coffees. Nothing felt heavy not even the pork which was a lechon style slow cooked, tender and oh so yummy. Portions are just enough and the service was well placed, not intrusive and we were offered every condiment we could possibly need. I highly rate and recommend this spot if you're ever in Philly. PS I am not a breakfast fan but I'd have breakfast here any day!

We arrived at 12:30pm and as expected, the wait was about 40 minutes with 5 parties ahead of us. They will seat you in order of your party size. When the hostess finally sat me and my friend at a table, it was wayyyy too close for comfort to another couple that was sitting next to us. I asked to sit by the bar area instead and they happily obliged. I knew what I wanted because I had plenty of time to survey the menu while we were waiting...scallion cheddar bacon waffle that comes with two sunny side up eggs on top. My decision was also based on a few Yelp pics for this dish. My friend ordered an omelette. Oh boy, the wait for our food took forever. At this point it was close to 1:30pm and I was hungry. What was annoying was seeing 4-5 other patrons that were seated after us get their food first. When our dishes finally came I was not happy, my waffles looked burnt, and there was only one egg instead of two. Honestly, at this point I just ate it. I didn't want to complain and wait. Drink menu is limited and the tea I had was alright. Still glad I got to check this place off my list. The entire staff is super welcoming and friendly but I will not be returning here for the food. Very cute and quaint space with limited indoor and outdoor seating.

The four of us found the Dutch on Yelp, and headed there from our hotel in Philly. It reminded my wife and I of some of the neighborhood spots. We enjoyed so much in our own town of Baltimore. The waitress, JENN, was fantastic. I think she had every table, but every employee were doing their part. The chef must handpick the ingredients, because everything was fresh and delicious. My wife and I each had a special pressed fruit drink to start, and it was a perfect appetizer if you will. Very refreshing and energizing. The food was amazing. I had the mushroom omelette. The mushrooms were very fresh and not overcooked. The omelette was thick, but not foamy. All of the ingredients were handled with care on the inside. The taste of truffles was a nice addition. My wife had the salmon omelette, and it was out of this world. Possibly the best omelette I've ever tasted. She agreed. Delicate, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. One of our boys had a huge waffle covered in fresh berries, and just the right amount of whipped cream. He said it was the best waffle he ever had, and I have to agree. Light and fluffy and sweet, he didn't even add syrup. Perfect. Our other son had the double cheeseburger. Again, cooked perfectly, and the avocado was very fresh and an excellent addition. When we are in Philly again, this will be our breakfast spot. An absolute pleasure dining here. I highly recommend.

Food was fine and the speed of the service was similar. I wish the potatoes were less salty and had more flavor and I prefer my omelettes to be cooked with the vegetables imbedded in the eggs without the vegetables sitting inside the egg like a taco. (This version did somewhere between the two). However, I would return to get more breakfast basics. I have had Dutch pancakes that pack more flavor but no ones complaining! My friends had never had them before so I was a bit disappointed because I really hyped them up to be a great standalone pancake however they had a great time once they put syrup on theirs! Overall will be back.
