    My brother and I went to this legendary place while I was visiting him in southeast Pennsylvania last week. Syed from the food being great, it's like walking into a time machine. Vintage furniture, equipment, such as a malt machine etc. etc. etc. Service was great and as you might expect, there were two or three regulars there, who I sure had their name on the back of their chair :-) We had omelettes, toast and coffee, in addition to their homemade fried potatoes, which were to die for I don't get up there often, but I'll make sure to put this on my schedule every time I do!

    I love Fairlane!! The staff is always wonderful no matter how busy they are. The food is down home style cooking. The French toast was amazing. So wonderful and buttery. The eggs and pork roll hit the spot! Fairlane is a fun, must visit location!

    Cheese scrambled eggs, potatoes, apple pancakes.

    Really cute place with an old time feel, but there is a price to pay for that vibe. Parking can be challenging to find, and it is small, loud, and cramped inside. Food was good. Best eggs I've had in a while. Apple pancakes were good but I would go the plain route next time. Potatoes seemed homemade and good. Would definitely return to try breakfast sandwich that seemed like a popular order.

    My favorite diner. It's classic, simple and GOOD. My dad used to bring me here all the time as a kid and I keep the tradition up even though he's gone. Get here before 11am to catch the breakfast, it's a home like feel and great experience. Love their homage to old Hollywood

    I usually come to Fairlane for breakfast but decided to give the lunch a try. I ordered the provolone & roasted pepper grilled chicken sandwich and it was amazing. Waitress was very pleasant and attentive. I can't say anything bad about this place.

    We have found our breakfast spot in Glenside. I thought maybe we had to trek out to Jenkintown, but that is not the case anymore. I was in the mood for a big breakfast this past Saturday morning and my husband obliged with a trip to the Fairlane grill. I had warned him that we might have to wait given other reviewers comments, but I was willing to check it out. We got there just in time to grab the last open booth and ordered a cheese omelet and a stack of cinnamon sugar pancakes to split. The pancakes happened to be the best I have had, in my memory. The cakes were so fluffy and the cinnamon sugar so tasty, that they hardly needed the syrup provided on the table. The omelet was quite good as well, and I'm glad we went with the swirled rye toast which was a perfect accompaniment to the loads of American cheese in the middle of the eggs. Yum. Breakfast is served until noon on the weekends, and I will be back soon!

    Two entrees divided to share!

    Had a great breakfast here. We were lucky there was no lineup when we arrived. We got seated right away. Coffee was served quickly and so were the refills. We placed our order and told the waitress we were going to share our entrees. We were pleasantly surprised when our breakfast came already divided up on separate plates. I mean who does that! Made me very happy! The food was fresh and tasty. I can see why this place is so popular. Really enjoyed our breakfast here.

    Great little diner! Good food, very pleasant staff, old fashioned place. Tiny spot, so seating can be a challenge, but well worth it!

While we were waiting for food, I explored the store attached. Very cute flower shop and gift boutique. I'm not sure if they share the same owners? If so they should put a sign above the restaurant side door to advertise the shop. Maybe they can get some shoppers after breakfast/lunch? Back to the food, I had the goat cheese and sun-dried tomato quiche ($16) and it was a little too strongly flavored for me. Normally I love these two ingredients on pizza or in pasta, but this was a lot. For me, needed more egg. It didn't stop me from eating it though! We shared a Brioche French toast ($16) for the table, like an appetizer. It had a peach butter that was interesting. I think next time I want to try a Scrambled egg sandwich ($15) and add sausage patties. ($5) I saw a guy get that and it looked amazing. Now he knows how to order!

    Honestly the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. That's what I'm starting the review with because…read moreit's important. The Rest of the food was tasty too. My only mild disappoint was the cornbread, as it was a little dry. Admittedly I only picked this restaurant because of the cool greenhouse concept so I had no expectations. They do not take reservations, which is a bummer, but the town is cute to walk around so we didn't mind the 45 minute wait. It is busy for Sunday brunch and it can get a little loud. Overall the vibe is unique, the food is tasty, and the people are nice. I don't know if this is a regular place for me, but I will be thinking of the eggs for a while. Also, like most places in Philly they charge a credit card fee.

The waiter Joseph is so kind and he always makes our visit special as regulars. He already knows what we want to eat, and our granddaughter has become so fond of him. My husband's favorite is the fish and grits. It makes him hum when he eats it and the chef comes up during most visits and checks in. The staff is very friendly. I often choose the belly filler and it's enough for me and my three-year-old granddaughter with leftovers to take home. We love our early morning visits there and the jazz music. It's a very nice atmosphere. There's a constant stream of people coming to pick up takeout orders so I know along with us,many people are pleased with this establishment.

Instead, they simply placed egg whites on top, which was unappetizing. After my initial order was returned due to these issues, I hoped for a better outcome. Unfortunately, the grits were hard, and the turkey sausage tasted flat, resembling a flat soda rather than a well-cooked dish. My friend ordered the Banana Foster French toast, but it was far from traditional. The bananas were served on the side, and when we expressed our disappointment, the server replied that this was their unique preparation method, which did not work at all. Overall, I would rate this experience a 1 out of 10. I have no intention of returning. When I attempted to discuss my concerns with the cook, he acknowledged my feedback but seemed indifferent, saying, "Sorry! I wasn't there. I just came back." He then promised to ensure my food would be better next time, but honestly, there won't be a next time for me. Patty
