    I arrived in Philly and was very hungry. My day started at 330am. This was during the Microsoft issue in July '24. The airlines had tons of cancelations and late arrivals. I was supposed to arrive at 9am, but ended up arriving at around 2pm. It's was too late for breakfast at most places. Well, not here. They serve breakfast all day long. This is a big, busy diner. I love these places. This place did not disappoint. I ordered the cornbeef hash, potatoes, and eggs. The meal came out and it was a lot of food. It was probably enough for two people. I was hungry, so I ate it all. Piggy piggy. It was as good or better than i expected. This breakfast at a hotel or some of the other restaurants would have been $20+ . Not at Folcroft. Even with the tip, I didn't go over $20. The wait staff was very attentive, and everyone worked together. The place was nice and clean. Everyone was nice. I will be coming back again.

    Cream chipped beef
    Felice L.

    The service was great! The food was very good! The restaurant was very clean. I had the cream chipped beef which I loved. My husband had a big breakfast with pancakes, french toast, eggs, hash browns, bacon & sausage. He liked everything except the bacon. He said it was too greasy. We will definitely be back.

    The Food was amazing.My only problem is that my home fries were not crunchy, everyone else had crunchy home fries, even the toddler. ):

    If you leave this place hungry it's not their fault. The Folcroft Diner Serves up exceptional comfort food in a comfortable diner setting. Reasonable prices are the norm here! Service is great. Kind and caring wait staff. Their daily specials are always super tasty at a great price. I sometimes get another meal out of their specials so that's double the fun! You'll never do you wrong coming here for a meal.

    JEEZ LOUISE ! This place is Astronomical omg!! You definitely have to try the french toast. I took one bite and almost passed out from excitement !!! The waffle was PACKED with flavor! Talk about 5 star dining! The waitress is someone I'll always remember, super personable and very attentive!

    Stuffed Mushrooms
    Sarah S.

    A decent diner but not award winning like I had heard. We took a longer drive to get here than I would've for a basic diner. Tried the stuffed mushrooms they were good but basically crab cakes on a mushroom. Sweet potato veggie was delicious. French onion soup was also good but nothing special.

    Delicious!! So glad we stopped in , portions are generous staff is friendly and food was hot and made fresh!!

    Cheesesteak Omelette
    Eric D.

    One of my favorite places to go to is a diner. 90% of the time the food is exactly what you need. It's quick and comes with a coffee that just feels familiar. You sit down in the booth with the paper place mat with the local ads and you are instantly transported to the heart of whatever city you are in. The staff is super friendly and attentive for the fact that it's a busy spot with only about a handful on staff. I got the Cheesesteak Omelette since I'm in Philly and it was great. Exactly what you picture in your mind it is. The home fries are crispy and seasoned well, but ketchup takes it up a notch. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot make this on your list.

    Wow everything we had was full of flavor. This is a small spot with a few tables and window seats,…read moreso prepare to be a bit close to your neighbor. The service was fantastic. It was very busy during our visit with customers dining in and take-out orders. It's BYOB and the server was helpful with bringing the glasses needed. The menu has plenty to choose from, and all the options sound delicious. We ended up going with the Sweet Thai Chili wings - delicious. The PARTY GRITS. All caps, that's it, that's the review - oh my goodness the grits were sooooooooooo good. From the LUMP crab meat to the salmon, seasoned and grilled to perfection... it was amazing. And to top it off, the side of fried fish (I had the Swai) was awesome. It was nice to meet Chef Reeky and give him his props for the amazing food and great atmosphere. I found this place looking for a brunch spot but it may actually be called Chef Reeky's Cafe & Juice Bar. I was looking for the Rhythm and Brunch sign but didn't see it - I'll leave the same post there too just in case. We found street parking in front. Overall a very positive and memorable experience - to the point where I may have to make it a habit to try something new every time I come visit. Highly recommended.

    My review would come in at a 4.5 if I was able to give half points. This is my second time ordering…read morepick up from Chef Reeky's after finding it on Uber Eats. Both times the food was clearly prepared with care and attention to details. This time, I ordered the Sweetest Taboo Breakfast that came with deliciously flavorful and fluffy waffles, although they were a little chewy. The chicken tenders were clearly cut and breaded by hand, seasoned to perfection! Last time I ordered chicken and waffles, but with wings...they were also good, but had a few little feathers still stuck them. I definitely prefer the tenders. The crispiness of the breakfast potatoes did not survive my short drive home, but they were also seasoned to perfection! And also portioned to share. The last time I ordered these, I added onions which seemed to be cooked on the side, and then just thrown into the box...so again I preferred them without this add on. Finally, the stuffed French toast...which is actually unforgettable. It was delicious both times I had it, crispy on the outside with fluffy cream cheese in the center that balance the sweetness of cinnamon sugar, syrup, berries, and the drizzle on the outside. Once again portioned to share! Basically: Chef Reeky's is a place to get your friends or family together, order anything that looks good and be prepared to make plates and have a bite of everything!

We ordered the crispy cheese curds (Wisconsin cheddar, smoked guajillo salsa, and charred scallion ranch). These were a unique take on the classic and I was here for it, definitely try these! I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!

The food itself was okay, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone in the area because holy cow the nickel and diming. It's an all-cash restaurant and they do have a big sign saying so on the front of their door. If you don't have cash, there's an ATM at the front that charges a $7 fee. Not 7%. Seven dollars. The next thing you're hit with is that all checks over $50 are automatically charged an 18% service charge. Everything on the menu was an average of $22 and of course, they don't allow split checks. Which means if you're going to breakfast with a friend you're going to hit that $50 pretty immediately. Add to that, the sides that come with your entree are all at a $1-$1.50 up charge with the exception of the breakfast potatoes, which were overcooked and dried out.
