I usually order breakfast once or twice a week. I've been struggling to find a good place. I came across G Lodge Cafe and the food is amazing. The pancakes are phenomenal, and the breakfast potatoes are delicious! The staff is accommodating to requests. Highly recommend!! read more

Went for breakfast and enjoyed the meal. Everything was fresh, well prepared and tasty. Bacon was crispy, eggs cooked as requested and the bread seemed to be home made. Our server was attentive and friendly. Everything was ok except for the price. I thought it was a little overpriced for an out of the way breakfast spot. read more

I've eaten at this place on and off for 45 years. It's mostly been mediocre and at times there was a whole lot of crazy with the one owner's wife. It seems to have leveled out. Good was solid. Omelette was fresh veggies, cooked perfectly. They also could easily do the home fries on the grill to avoid the fryer. They had GF toast! Server was nice and not overly cloying in her diner service. Just as kitschy an interior as I recall. read more

G Lodge Cafe - Veggie 3 egg omelette with home fries and GF toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

Update: Had breakfast here again, with a much more disappointing experience. Decided to try one of the daily specials, Huevos Rancheros, which is one of my favorites, but the plate came out with many fried elements. The Hashbrown patties had been deep fried, as well as mini tortillas, something I've never seen before. I don't like fried food, and don't expect that for breakfast, so I had to send that back. So I opted for what I had there before, a veggie omelette. The food was OK, not bad, not great. It was also not something I would go out of my way for. Service was also not good. It was not busy, but I almost got up and left when nobody came over to take my order. I had to keep looking around and staring down a server. I requested that she top off the coffee frequently as I like coffee really hot, but each time I had to request it. And in the end, though I asked for a check, I wasn't presented with a bill. I had to go to the register to pay where she presented the total, which took me by surprise. $16 for an omelette and a cup of coffee in a divey place. Turns out they also add 3% for using a credit card. Sorry, I won't be going back. There's another place I like much better about 5 minutes away. read more

Normally everything is great foods always amazing along with the service. Took my girlfriend there for the first time and we ordered breakfast i ordered chocolate chip pancakes and got regular pancakes. When we brought it to waitstaff attention they took the originals back and just melted chocolate chips on them. Rather then remaking them. They were room temperature roughly by the time i got them back and we both lost our appetites. We were also asked 3-4 times if we wanted more coffee first time we said no cups were still full the other 2-3 times we said yes please and by the time we left we still hadn't gotten a fresh cup. Now a young gentleman came to our table asking about what went wrong and we explained it and he was nice enough to take the pancakes off the bill but shes a little upset and embarrassed over a not so pleasant first visit. Normally i have no issues even on weekends but this Wasnt the best experience. Overall yes i would go back but probably only on weekdays from now on read more

Since this place changed hands there is no Farmers' Omelette on the menu. That's the only thing I ever ordered so I'm pretty sad. Rooster, one of the chefs who worked there when Dennis owned the place, was working for the new owner the last time I went. When I saw him in the kitchen I crossed my fingers and asked the waiter if Rooster could make me a farmers omelette. Rooster acted like he didn't know what the waiter was talking about. He came back with some story about how the chef said that omelette can be any combination of meat, veggies, and cheese blah blah blah. True but also utter BS. I wanted the Farmers' Omelette I knew that he knew how to make. Rooster, I used to adore you. I worshipped your farmers' omelettes. That day you broke my heart. I do want to leave this review on a good note though. This place has THE BEST pancake. They are made from scratch and are cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table loved their food. I think you might have to bring your own real maple syrup, which we usually do. We also bring our own butter, too, because, well, we love good grassfed butter and hate having to keep asking for more. They still serve great coffee and they always have a nice selection of eggs benny. I can't order them because of the gluten but my grandson loves them. read more

Like stepping back into better times when dining here. Service is bright, welcoming, and, friendly. Food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Worth a visit!! read more

The best breakfast in the philly suburbs. This is the best pancake I've had in my life. No doubt. I love the g lodge cafe. It's so cozy and delicious. We come here regularly and are quite pleased with both the service and the food. Even cooler: The Happening filmed a scene here! It's the best cozy cabin vibe around, I can't wait to come around Christmas time. Definitely come before 8:30AM on a weekend. The line was outrageous by the time we were served food last weekend. We arrived around 8:15 am and it was already packed; just two of us so we sat at the counter ! Then shortly after we just heard tons of people piling in asking for seating and there was a wait. Most epic place in the area for sure , don't miss out on G lodge! Loads better than the crappy cafes in the town of Phoenixville. read more

Different cheesesteak #1,000 in the last four years. I love Jim T's cooking and this is old building. Mark Wahlburg filmed a movie here with M Night Shyamalan. Jim cooks a very good ribeye. When I go back I am going to get the ribeye in one of the other 5 menu items. Probably the cheesesteak omelette. Everything was good, for me it just didn't work as a cheesesteak. I don't hate kaiser rolls. It had a good amount of cheese surrounding the meat but I like it mixed together. Jim's ribeye doesn't really need mushrooms and onions but mushrooms and onions can enhance good ribeye. I would have liked more mushrooms and onions. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place and was not disappointed. It is small but friendly. Each of my visits have been early enough to be seated right away. I ordered the Dagwood sandwich and was very happy with it. Large enough to take home half. My dining companion has tried the pancakes and French toast and liked them and the sausage links very much. Tables are close together so you can expect to be eavesdropping on your neighbors conversations. But the vibe is like a friendly local diner hangout. read more

The food here was so good. I had the meat lovers omelet, home fries with onions, an English muffin and a sweet tea. Next time I'll try the sweet iced coffee. There was a wait but it wasn't too long. All of the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Defiantly will be back. read more

Great place for breakfast. The atmosphere feels like an old fashioned diner. The service was good and kind. The most impressive thing was that our waitress knew what i meant when I ordered "dippy eggs". Made me feel at home. read more

Sure it's oddly dated. Like a cross between my moms early 70's Colonial living room set and a 50's diner. I mean this in a nice nostalgic way. The service was pleasant and the owner has a really cute dog. The food was spot on. Crispy grilled cornbread, friend had a perfectly cooked omelette and I had bacon crispy and eggs with hash browns. It was all delicious . It's on the expensive side but breakfast is cheap even when it's expensive. Right by Valley Forge park so you can stop before or after. read more

Met my friend here for breakfast at what she affectionately calls the G Spot. Very old building with exposed wood beams. The bathrooms have the old heavy barn style doors with the metal latches that you have to lift up to get out. Very cool. The diner style seating adds a nice touch. Extensive menu with many items that I wanted to try like the strawberry cream cheese french toast, crepes, and banana walnut french toast. I chose the Island french toast that had pineapple, pecans, and coconut. I was served a very large portion and it was very good. Couldn't eat it all. My friend had the maui fruit salad which had blueberries, raspberries, bananas, and more! It came with yogurt on the bottom. My friend was pleased to hear she could get it with Greek yogurt. My friend ordered scrapple which shockingly, I have never had. I know, I'm from Pennsylvania Dutch country I should have had this many times before now. My mother certainly ate a lot of it! If you don't know what scrapple is, you probably don't want to know. However, I tried it and liked it! Go me! Our waitress, Karen, was lovely and kept our cups full of coffee and earl grey, my fav. Lunch items sounded good and if I was there for lunch, I would have had the pork roll. As a side note, the famous director my Indian friend calls Shamalamadingdong filmed a scene from The Happening here. If you haven't seen The Happening, don't. However, do stop at the G Spot for a bite to eat! read more

I decided to try this place again after giving it one star almost 8 years ago. New ownership, and I heard it was much better. Came twice before I reviewed it again. Breakfast was good, and the breakfast potatoes were fantastic. Tip to the owner, if you want to be taken seriously as a breakfast place, and not just another greasy spoon like before, get real maple syrup, not cheap "breakfast syrup" in little packages. Lunch was a huge disappointment and a huge rip off. The waitress recommended the fried chicken sandwich and said it was the owners favorite. Right off the bat, it was the tiniest chicken sandwich I've ever seen...The whole sandwich was the same proportions as a plain McDonald's cheeseburger (the one you actually get, not the one in the menu pictures in the drive-through). It actually looked silly on the plate. Chicken was just OK, and the consistency was not of an actual chicken breast, more like a processed chicken patty. It came with a small pile of potato chips for eight bucks. Truly a stone cold rip off. My friends sandwich was very small as well. Service was excellent, so I might return. read more

Ugh, after two tries since the new owners took over I'm sadly crossing G Lodge off my list. My husband ordered eggs and specified "nearly burnt" bacon. I ordered a croissant with a side of bacon; I didn't realize I'd have to expressly say I didn't want my bacon burnt but thats how it arrived nonetheless. If I order a steak I don't expect it to show up the same doneness as my dining partner, I feel like the cook just didn't really care to differentiate between the orders. The server did offer to take it back for a re-do but we were in a hurry so I gave it to my hubby who did enjoy it. My croissant was grilled in what tasted like really old butter. The menu did not indicate the croissants were grilled so I was expecting a warm flaky croissant. It was so bad the lingering rancid taste remains in my mouth. So disappointing. To top it all off it was startlingly expensive. ***The service was outstanding, the woman who took our order was top-notch. read more

As someone who tries to eat gluten free because of a wheat sensitivity, this is a wonderful place to enjoy good food. I recently had their Smash Burger reimagined as a Patty Melt on gluten free bread. I prefer cheddar or American cheese instead of Swiss and they had no problem making the substitution. It was absolutely yummy. Another must have is their homemade soup. Most are gluten free and I've enjoyed all the the options that qualify and usually take some home for later. Go, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food is made fresh and the smash burger is to die for! Juicy meat, grilled bun YUM The French fries are hand cut! read more

We live in the neighborhood so the G lodge is convenient. The menu is massive allowing for many options for your whole group. Cash only- don't forget We eat a lot of breakfast in Phoenixville. I feel like the G lodge prices are a little bit higher for something regular such as eggs and bacon. I would say we spent $30 for two people to have breakfast. We're used to pay $20 for breakfast total. The food is ok, not terribly exciting. A lot of things were previously frozen instead of fresh ingredients. Every now and then everyone needs a greasy diner food meal, am I right? To live up to the nostalgia, watch the happening before you go! It looks pretty much the same inside as it does in the movie. read more

I used to come here on Sunday mornings with my family. It has an intimate feel inside and the food is OK. It was especially cool to know that the movie, "The Happening," was filmed partially at the G lodge. My complaints are that the food is just mediocre, the place is somewhat dark and its cash only. There also seems to be a lot of bikers and hunters here (real country), but also lots of young families. Their mushrooms are always fresh and amazing! I love their mushroom cheese omelette and sautéed mushrooms on the side. read more

Decided to try this place for breakfast and it wasn't terrible but I wasn't overly impressed. The berry crepe and home fries were good. They had plenty of options to choose from too. It was fairly expensive for breakfast, but I'd rather spend a few extra $$ to support a small business. The orange juice was terrible, and the service wasn't the best not sure if I'll go there again read more

Very friendly staff. We had chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and the traditional. All foods were good and meal size was plentiful.

This place is excellent and I am so surprised by some of the reviews. Food is the usual? Really? Nutella French toast, stuffed French toast, strawberries and cream cheese pancakes... the list goes on and on and it is not at all usual. The service was fantastic and family like. I could go on and on but will keep it short. One other thing - some talk of high prices. Really? You get what you pay for is all I can say and it is not expensive by any means read more

New owners prices are insane, as far as the food goes it was good but this guy is out of his mind with his price. Much better breakfast options in the area. Never again read more

Owners very nice but turkey club I ordered was way overpriced for how small it was compared to other local restaurants and deli's. Also the lettuce was not fresh. I will give them another try but it was just an ok sandwich. Nothing special. read more

My fiancé and I stopped here for lunch during our visit to Valley Forge. It was everything we had hoped it would be. The staff was incredibly friendly.

It was a terrific start to a beautiful visit to the historical park. read more

I've never had eggs at a restaurant come out cooked correctly the first time, but they nailed it. The food was amazing, the home fries were seasoned well and cooked perfectly, and the coffee was very good. The portions were generous and the servers were polite, attentive, and efficient. Inside is cozy and quaint. Exactly what I'd expect from a 'lodge'. I found it to be generally clean and well kept. My only word of caution is that they are cash only (ATM on premises) so plan ahead to bring enough cash to tip fairly. read more

Service is terrible, It's like they are afraid to look at you or even say hello . They are afraid you might ask for something and then they would have to accommodate you . I left after 20 min of NO service . They seem to think you came in for their benefit and should be grateful they let you in . If they don't care about the customer, you wonder if they wash their hands ? read more

I have been going here since I was probably 4 years old. The staff is rude and it is overpriced. The owner's wife is one of the waitresses. There was one time she followed a customer to their car and knocked on the window because the customer didn't leave a decent tip. The food is good but the staff and the price is not. Also it is really cramped so if you are claustrophobic find a different place. read more

A good, old-fashioned diner experience! Wonderful breakfast choices and not too crowded before 10 or 11 AM even on a Sunday morning. Friendly folks and a cozy country atmosphere. I can see myself coming here very often, even though it's on the other side of town. I'm looking forward to trying some of the lunches. read more
