Meredith R.

After an early morning drop-off at the airport, we ducked into Folcroft Diner for breakfast. More times than not I order something non-breakfast-y for my first meal of the day. Today was no exception. Their grilled chicken sandwich was not what I hoped for. On the plus side, it was a generous portion of chicken, most of which I took home. As a negative -- at least for me -- I like a flat filet, with grill marks. This was "chunky," rendering it clumsy to eat. It simply didn't taste grilled at all. And the chicken was dry. T ordered a country omelet that was filled with breakfast meats, cheddar and peppers. Though not my thing, I agreed it was pretty good. His grits were creamy, buttery and delicious. Coffee is strong and served in the old-fashioned heavy mugs that I favor. Our server was friendly. ("Where are you from?" she asked, picking up on my Brooklyn accent.) I asked if Greek lemon soup is ever on the menu. She said that the owners are Turkish, then gave me a rundown of their specialties, all of which sound delish. (Alas, no avgolemono.) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Folcroft. The menu is diverse, the restaurant is clean -- as pointed out by another Yelper AND our waitress. If you order the right thing, you'll no doubt be pleased.

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. ):

Stuffed pepper lunch special for $8.95

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.

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.

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!

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.

We were met by the friendliest and most hospitable young lady I think I have ever met in a restaurant. She talked to every other customer in the place as if she knew them, which I thought was very impressive. The food was very good, the peppers and onions made the home fries. When finished we had a chance to talk with the waitress and she was a complete delight to speak with. She offered to let us put a pin in our home town of Omaha Nebraska on the U.S. map that was on the wall that had several similar pins from other customers. My wife and I agree that this stop was probably the BEST! part of our whole trip to Philadelphia.

I'm not saying that I would come here if I wasn't staying on site, but for someone who spends 100 nights or more a year in hotels, I've seen some pretty bad breakfasts... I think I was most surprised by the potatoes that were actually crispy and not soggy like the norm. Eggs, bacon, sausage, variety of breads and muffins and a few juice options filled the void. Service wasn't great, but the hostess did offer me a carafe of coffee. So again, the need was met. If you're staying at the doubletree and want a quiet place to be left alone to eat a quick breakfast before catching a flight or hitting the road, the Landing is a decent option!

Not good. It didn't appear busy but over heard the staff mention they were very busy to numerous…read moreguests. About 8 at bar and less than half the restaurant filled. Overwhelming smell of pot at entrance and could smell throughout restaurant. It's a "seat yourself place" which works when the staff has clean tables for patrons to sit. Not the case here. After asking 3 times we cleaned a table so we could sit. Took the waiter 15 mins to make initial contact. He was pleasant once he did, but the wait was unnecessarily long. Ordered 2 glasses of wine which we grabbed at bar bc they never arrived. Chicken Caesar Salad and burger was flavorful. Ordered soup too but never received it. When asked, the waiter said they were out and forgot to tell us. So, not great service and ok food. It's a shame as it's the only place to eat in reasonable/late walking distance. The hotel has a relative monopoly on food/drink service and could make it a much better experience w better talent management.

When I made our reservation online, I included a special request asking if we could be seated by a window to enjoy the river and, hopefully, the sunset. They were able to accommodate our request, and we had a beautiful view of the river. It was a little cloudy, so the sunset wasn't spectacular, but the scenery still made for a wonderful evening. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the Fried Fresh Mozzarella Bruschetta, and it was outstanding. The fresh tomatoes, perfectly fried mozzarella, and balsamic reduction came together beautifully. The mozzarella was cooked just right--not overdone to the point where all the cheese oozes out--which made for a great bite every time. Cindy ordered the Scallop Risotto, served in a lemon butter wine sauce. The risotto had a great consistency--not watery at all--and the scallops were perfectly tender. The flavors were fresh, rich, and well-balanced. I chose the Frutti di Mare Risotto, featuring sautéed mussels, clams, jumbo shrimp, crab meat, broccoli rabe, and cherry tomatoes. This dish exceeded my expectations. Every piece of seafood was tender and flavorful. I did encounter a little sand in a couple of the mussels, which can occasionally happen with shellfish, but it certainly wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise fantastic meal. To finish the evening, the staff brought out a celebratory chocolate birthday cake for Cindy. It was incredibly moist with a delicious cream cheese filling--the perfect ending to a memorable birthday dinner. One final tip: if you decide to take a walk around the grounds after dinner, keep an eye out... you might find someone taking a nap outside. Overall, Riverwinds delivered excellent food, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Between the attentive staff, delicious seafood, and scenic river views, we'll definitely be back.
