Being around since the beginning, I have seen the place grow and change, and what they have created is quite wonderful and something the community truly loves. However, along with that, the new feel does leave me longing for the days of the small space that we would frequent every single Friday morning for coffee and a delicious handcrafted breakfast, in a place that remembered who we were and was small enough it was easy to customize our meal. While this hasn't necessarily changed, the owner, a wonderfully nice man who still remembers my family and I, is simply doing what a business owner should: strive to grow that business and provide the best service and experience available. I cannot fault the Brickhaus for any of that at all, and I highly recommend that everyone visit here, especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings when there is live music. Particularly when the recurring jazz trio is there who really blows it out of the water. All that being said, I have noticed that in the ensuing years since their expansion, the quality of the experience and the food has declined far beyond what I used to live about this place. The coffee and drinks are still as good as they ever were, but the overall food and service quality of the 'restaurant' portion. Has changed, and has resulted in my infrequency of visits. I do highly recommend the the rösti potatoes and always whatever specials they are running, but some of my go-to favorites like the avocado toast simply are not what they used to be and are not worth it. I still love it here but I simply cannot recommend it as I would have years ago.

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!

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.

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!

I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

It really embodies the Parisian vibe and makes you feel like you are not in Philadelphia. Onto the food! The bread basket and butter are always things I look forward to. The cranberry nut bread is amazing and it's always a great way to start a meal here so I love that they bring this to you. My absolute favorite thing to order that I cannot go without is the Warm Shrimp Salad. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and paired with this amazing lemon dressing that is creamy but not too heavy. Adding the sun-dried tomatoes and the avocado is perfection. I usually make a combination bite of all of the ingredients and it is heaven to my taste buds. I highly recommend this entrée. We have gotten a lot of other things on the menu before, but some of the standouts include the French Onion Soup, the Tuna Carpaccio, the Escargot, the Tomato Tart, and honestly just a side of the fries. The fries here are delicious. The waiter recommended the Tuna Carpaccio and oh my gosh it was so good. It was salty and the tuna is so melt in your mouth and the bread went perfectly with it. The tomato tart just tasted like an elevated pizza so you can't really go wrong with it. My husband absolutely loves the Escargot and I think the sauce that it comes with is really good. Their take on a French Onion Soup is so good. The cheese layer is decadent and the soup is rich, salty and just delicious. Getting a side of the fries with the aïoli they bring you is also pure joy. We never have a bad time when we come here. Sometimes it is hard to get a weekend reservation, but there tends to be a lot of cancellations so just keep checking and you're sure to find something. The restaurant is so big yet always packed. It is really impressive because there's never a wait time for your food and you always get good service. This place is like a machine, it's so incredible.

5 stars for Bud and Marilyn's? I recently gave The Love 5 stars for its fried chicken!…read more The Marilyn's Fried Chicken I had this evening was every bit as good! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!

Silver Dollar Pancakes- 3/10...might be the worst pancakes I've had. There was no flavor at all, not even buttermilk, and there was something off about the texture I just couldn't put my finger on. The syrup didn't help it. I'm not sure if the batter got mixed up with a different one, but these were not good! The generous 3 is simply for the presentation.
