Folcroft Diner

A down-to-earth watering hole. Cozy, even. I loved our table, a nice high-top in the corner. I guess my only complaint is that it took a little while to be seated. It was Sunday night dinner rush, L get it, but I waited by the door long enough to wonder whether anyone was going to notice me. But it was worth the wait. For a place that comes off as a bar, the meal they served me checked all the boxes -- oysters from the raw bar first, then a tender New York strip, with a generous side of Jack Daniels. Everything was perfect. Our server Jake was a real pro, the best. You could tell they were all a great team. When a drink I ordered appeared on the bar but had not yet been delivered, someone stepped up and brought it to me. Service! Something that surprised me. Though I was totally into my dinner, looking around, it struck me that the place looked exceptionally clean. I mean, excceptional, something they should be proud of. But above all, I could not have enjoyed the food more. The oysters, excellent. So good I ordered a second dozen for desert. An entirely enjoyable and satisfying experience. You'll find it worth your while.

My husband liked a beer and would've gotten a second one, but the waitress never made it back to us at that point. I, of course, came to a brewery and ordered their apple cider margarita. There was a lot of ice. Too much ice. Not much drink. Didn't hurt that much because the drink was just ok. My kids crushed the pretzel. It was huge and my one kid discovered a love of cheese along with it. My spouse got the Cuban, which is a little dry, but pretty in line with Cuban expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the pickle burger with double patties, enough meat that I also shared bit of it with the kids. My kid dipped the patty in the pretzel cheese. My spouse had read that it took a while for food to come out, but it came out pretty speedy for us. We also ordered the crab dip, but it came out at the same time as our main course so we didn't eat much. Taking that sucker home. Besides the pretzel, the variety of spaces here are the main highlight. Again, disclaimer being this is coming from someone who didn't come to a brewery to drink beer.

The outdoor patio has 3 TV's, a bar, ample seating, beautiful botanical walls and fire pits. It's truly a cozy vibe. We had the pleasure of having Branden as our server and hands down, he's awesome! Great personality and attentive but not overbearing. He explained the bartender was backed-up and let us know it was going to be a little wait for our cocktails. I appreciate honest communication and setting of expectations. What We ordered: Buffalo Shrimp - the shrimp were Jumbo and they had a pleasing presentation and taste. They were room temperature as if they had been sitting but we still njoyed them. Calimari & Shrimp - These were hot and delicious Cheesteak Eggrolls - These were hot and very flavorful. The Espresso and Lemon Drop Martinis were excellent... Cheers to the bartender! (unfortunately I did not get her name but it was Saturday night, June 8, 24) You know who you are and kudos to you.

I had the Pan seared Atlantic salmon, and this was on a bed of rice with a nice sauce and topped with broccoli rabe. The salmon was cooked to perfection the way I like it, and was so delicious. One of the best salmon entrees I have had in a long time. I do wish Streetlight restaurant was closer to New York City because I would love to have the salmon again, it was that good! For dessert I had the brownie sundae and my friend had the warm apple crumb cake, both were very good and yummy!!! Thank you Streetlight for wonderful meal. I look forward to visiting again in the future. Cheers!

The dining room is beautifully decorated--perfectly lit for an evening meal with warm, cozy candlelit tables. The seating is spaced comfortably apart, allowing for private conversation, especially on a night that isn't overly crowded. It's an ideal spot for date night. The restaurant is BYOB, and I noticed they also offer mocktails on the menu. We began with soup. The lobster bisque was savory and flavorful, featuring a plump piece of lobster in the center. The New England clam chowder was also thoroughly enjoyed. There's a wide selection of entrées, and we appreciated the recommendations on the most popular dishes. In addition to steak, poultry, and seafood, the menu also includes a section dedicated to vegan entrées. I ordered the lump crab cake as my entrée, and we also had the fried red snapper. Although the crab cake was lump rather than jumbo lump, it was well seasoned and not overloaded with filler. It was generously sized, filling, and served with a citrus remoulade that complemented it nicely. The whole red snapper was a generous market-priced portion, perfectly coated and fried. The fish was moist, flavorful, and cooked just right--not overdone. Each entrée is thoughtfully garnished; the red snapper was served with fried plantain and mango salsa, which paired beautifully. Sides are served à la carte. We chose the lobster mac and cheese and sautéed spinach. We also ordered the calamari a bit later but enjoyed it before our entrées arrived. It was crispy and drizzled with a sauce that balanced sweetness with a subtle kick of heat. The lobster mac and cheese featured pasta (think it was cavatappi) in a rich, creamy cheese like gouda, topped with a generous piece of lobster. The sautéed spinach was lightly seasoned and cooked perfectly, complementing the meal well. Overall, the dishes were well balanced and full of flavor. We didn't have room for dessert this time, but on our next visit I'd love to try either the butter cake or the bread pudding

Cafe B&B is a cute little cafe nestled in the far end of Glenolden that serves breakfast staples…read moreand I didn't even know it was there until one day we passed it and simply decided to go. It appears on first glance when going inside that it used to be some other place but I am not sure what, and when we were there it seemed that it was empty. Like devoid of people whatsoever. There was our server, and I'm not sure if someone was even in the kitchen, but there had to be because our order was being prepared by someone. This is actually good, because that morning was a dragging one and having it nice and quiet with almost not distraction was absolutely wonderful! What I like about B&B is also what kind of sets it back just a bit, but I think this place is on the rise, and as it gains popularity, this will start to be talked about around southeast Delco and definitely and up a go-to spot. There are complaints in some of the reviews here that the food is "underseasoned" which is something that I would like to argue wholeheartedly. Breakfast is very subjective; especially standard American breakfast staples like omelets, eggs and bacon platters, waffles. However, that is where the underuse of season here is actually a smart strategy. Most of these dishes would be seasoned with salt, pepper, or by some, butter or hot sauce. All these items are readily available and placed on the table in food quantity so that the diner can easily bring their meal to the exact taste that they enjoy. In doing this thought, nothing really shines here. It is all very good, but nothing it really unique. And that is good thing especially when you are looking for a place to enjoy breakfast that's a down-home style meal and you don't want to have to cook. I will definitely be back again for another homestyle breakfast in the future, and the prices are more than reasonable. If you live in the area this is a great place to frequent for a breakfast you would make yourself or would expect to have if you stopped home for the day. Check it out when you want to feed that need.

They have a lock box connected to the front door. No ketchup at the table just salt and pepper shakers. You get the vibe that when it opened it was a decent looking place. The buffet is on for lunch and dinner. I think the lady said $19.99 for lunch and $24.99 for dinner. The menu has a lot of options for breakfast, sandwiches and entrees. The lady serving me was nice and friendly. She recommended a cheesesteak. It came with fries and was subpar. The roll was forgettable and although the meat wasn't terrible it needed more cheese in the mix. The fries weren't anything memorable. On my second visit I had the Philly Special which is two eggs, double of two meats and either grits or hash browns. I had my eggs sunny side up, the meat was a huge portion of bacon (bacon needed to be crispier) and sausage patties. The toast tasted old and the hash browns weren't crispy at all. The coffee I added was pretty good. The meal was just under $10 and the coffee $2.50. If your looking for a filling breakfast for around $15 you won't be wowed, but it was a big meal compared to some other local places. On both lunch visits there was barely anyone in the building. Some folks came to grab a bite to go, but pretty much empty right at lunchtime. If you need a quick stop for a bite, or a quiet place for a lunch meeting this isn't a terrible place, but they need to clean up the place. Lose the lock box on the front door and make it easier on the eyes. Don't expect much, stick to the basics and you'll be fine. They get the third star because the lady working was very nice.

She brought my drink, and a juice glass of ice. When I asked for a larger glass, the reply was, "We don't have none." I asked for a bowl of cabbage soup. When she brought it, I realized that it was chicken noodle soup. She was nowhere to be seen, so I ate it. I mentioned that it was good chicken noodle soup, although I'd asked for cabbage soup. Her reply was, "Well, at least it was good." The rest of my order was served, the plates slammed onto the table. The food was delicious as always, butI had to ask the young man who was clearing tables for cheese and pepper seeds. He brought the pepper seeds, and my server suddenly materialized and slammed the container of cheese on the table. When I paid my bill, there was no tip.
