I placed my order, got my silverware and table number and sat down to wait for them to bring it out, very efficient way to do things. When my food arrived, an omelet with mushrooms, onions, sweet Italian sausage, and cheddar cheese, my eyes grew wide. Before digging in I popped a stray mushroom that was sitting on top of omelette before taking the photo. Immediately noticed the amount of flavor of the mushroom alone, it prompted me to ask if they were marinated, the chef/owner came out after I was done and said she takes baby bella mushrooms, cuts them up and sautees them in salt pepper garlic, "no cans here' she said and you can tell. Upon digging into the omelette I found it to be loaded with the ingredients I had chosen, even distribution, I mean just look at that cross section! The potatoes were seasoned well and delightfully crispy. Prices were more than fair for the quality. They definitely care, they definitely put out excellent food, and I think they'll definitely succeed, even with being in a tough spot parking wise...I'm local to Norwood but I'll gladly pay the meter every time if it means I get to enjoy more of the Good Vibes Only!

Unassuming from the outside, far more inviting once you enter -- my favorite detail, the black-and- white checkered floor. Classic. The warmth of the manager was apparent right away. We got the booth we wanted, off to a good start. Basic breakfast order, no fuss, server took down all the details. When it comes to my bacon, I prefer crisp - and it was perfect, honestly. Coffee, big mug, hot, robust. My meal did not disappoint in the slightest. Generous serving of potatoes with my eggs (I suggest asking for onions, again, perfect). Except ... My toast. I had to wait for my toast while my breakfast sat. I've been to *many* diners in my life, not the first time I've experienced this, it happens ... but the amount of time I waited for it to come, seemed to suggest there had been an oversight. And I guess that ties into the strongest negative I might mention. There were intervals of waiting that threw off the rhythm of how a diner operates. I needed water my partner needed a refill ... and for a while it seemed like the only way that could happen is if I got up, went to the counter and asked for it. (Not alone in this. A nearby table did exactly that to get what they needed.) Easy fixes, not that big a deal. My first suggestion: Have a big pitcher of water on ice ready at all times. When you see a glass low, go for it. Simple, the mark of a pro. Listen -- I love diners, can't get enough, the more around my neighborhood the better. When we told our server we'd be back, we meant it. Especially for the gelato! Homemade! The sample I tasted, delectable. We all have room for improvement, so no harm no foul. I really need to try dinner at the Delco Diner -- BYOB, c'mon. Support these folks, they're great.

We were welcomed when we arrived. The restaurant has many different sections which is great. They do a lot of events here.

She had many groups but she still gave us top notch service. All the food is great here but I absolutely love their deviled crab cake. I can't get good crab cakes where I live so I devour them when in PA. I also love their house salad. I did not get pictures of main course since dived into eating them. They have great desserts as well. I love their rice pudding and this time I tried the peanut butter dessert which was great. I have never had a bad meal here.

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

The sautéed spinach has a great balance of garlic and oil but not too much. My catfish balanced its fried crispiness well. They forgot the tartar sauce and I didn't want to ask for it because it took awhile and there seemed to be some confusion. The mango tea maybe could've used more mango flavor but it was fine. The iced tea was not too sweet- very classy. They seem to have a hard time keeping up with orders on a busy night- so be mindful of that. The food is worth the wait. Staff is very friendly. I think the staff was collecting info electronically but navigating through the software and not having a good system for what table needs what food and who is to serve what table may be discombobulating to some among the staff and customers at different points of view. The bathroom needed fixing because a customer didn't have things in order inside of it. There was another bathroom not expected to have to be used but it had no soap in it. With the size of this place sectioned off in two, is there only one toilet? I didn't check to find out since I didn't have to. A small thing was that I accidentally was charged for my friend's meal and vice versa but my friend and I decided not to fuss about it because it was a $1 difference as long as I paid for his entree which was attached to my drink. They were out of yams and some other side. The potatoes and the way they were seasoned were one of the best that my friend has had. One of the customers next to us told us this was the 4th day this place was open. With all the hiccups, I would recommend offering random food to go as an extra bonus or a discount to respective customers if possible . I understand not wanting to offer a discount - especially for a restaurant just starting off. With the jazzy music playing tonight, it fit the vibe so well. The place wasn't too loud but the volume was enough to hear it. This place really feels out balance well in its food, decor, and music. They may have r&b instead of jazzy numbers playing as well. Addendum 10/26/25: I thought of more things I need to add. I personally like that Terrell's wants to infuse technology to make for a potentially smoother process. Lack of paper is sustainable. However, the tiny devices that are typically used for collecting payment only is too hard to navigate as the screen is small and the software might not be the best. Tablets would be more appropriate because the screen is big enough but also thin enough to still be reasonably portable. Also makes things easier to split bills and customize properly etc. I understand that cost could be a factor- so starting back to old school paper is probably most appropriate. If typical paper doesn't suit the setting well, there must be nicer pads of paper to suit the environment well. I want this place to do well and I think it will but much time is needed to work out the kinks. While there is no one right way, there are definitely things that aren't quite working either.

A house with a shed turned kitchen on someone's lawn with a patio serving food? Why not? ..... I'll admit the pics of the pizza and supporting a fellow Sicilian (Sam) helped push me to visit, but the entire operation and their story intrigued me. I'll skip the story of their beginnings, but I just felt like I went back in time pulling along side a road to grab a bite to eat. Lots of shade trees, a converted shed into a kitchen and a large picnic gazebo/patio greeted me as I pulled up. (No bathroom on premises) Then I met Kayla (pronounced Ki-yla not kay-la) and Sam. They are nice welcoming, hard working people who made sure everything about my orders was right. First visit, I tried their cheesesteak with hot peppers. It was on an Amoroso roll. The portion was decent, flavors were good, little grease, solid melting of cheese in with the meat and the hot peppers provided just the right amount of kick and flavor. In hindsight I should have gotten the roll toasted a bit, but overall it was an average cheesesteak. Can't say anything bad about it. I ordered three pizzas to go the other day and they were tasty. The dough is made fresh daily. I haven't seen large thin crust NY slices in Delco before so that was a first. Couple observations, the pizzas are 20" so your slices will measure about 9" to 9 1/2" long. The crust was thin, crispy, had a nice light char and stood straight as an arrow. It's a little heavier on the sauce side which is thick, a little acidic with a sweet/spicy bite to it. I would have liked a bit more cheese to even out the cheese/sauce ratio. For $15 a pizza, I thought it was a good value, they do sell by the slice at $3. I will definitely stop in again to try their other offerings. A few people waiting for their food recommended the breakfast sandwiches and roast beef sandwich. Thank you Kayla and Sam!
