Steak and Eggs. Menu says "you can't order the steak well-done." We ordered it medium rare, it came out WELL-DONE!
Moon M.

NEVER AGAIN! Let me start with the SERVICE FEE! This place charges an EXTRA 18% FEE before I even give a tip?! I asked the waitress about this, and she said: "Yeah, it goes to the bussers and kitchen staff. The rest goes directly to me." THE REST? THE REST OF WHAT?!?! You've already charged me an 18% gratuity! I felt bad because our waitress was friendly, and did a decent job, despite the fact that this place is a bit understaffed on a Monday afternoon. So, even though our waters were NEVER REFILLED and my iced tea was NEVER REFILLED, I gave a 20% tip... YES, ON TOP OF THE 18%, which now means I've paid a 38% gratuity on a $50 brunch, bring it to $74! Maybe I'm the sucker. Too nice. BUT NEVER AGAIN! But let's talk about the food, shall we...? I haven't been to this chain for a while, so maybe it has fallen off slightly, or maybe the flavors are no longer novel for me, but let's start with the... STREAK & EGGS (2/5) The menu literally says "YOU CAN'T ORDER YOUR STEAK WELL DONE," so my partner orders the steak medium rare. Guess at what temperature it came out? WELL-DONE. WTF?!?! First, why is this even a rule if your kitchen staff can't cook a steak to proper temperature. Not to mention, they didn't rest the steak before slicing and plating, so by the time my partner started eating, meat juices were pooling at the bottom of the plate, mixing with the already soggy sautéed spinach. Halfway through her meal, she was basically eating a breakfast stew! We should've sent it back! CHICKEN BENEDICT (3/5) This dish comes with a HALF WAFFLE. I asked if I could have the other half of my waffle. The waitress said no. NO? I'm sorry, you can't charge me a little extra for me to get my whole waffle? "You half to order the Chicken & Waffles to get the whole waffle," said the waitress. So, it seems the restaurant doesn't want to make this money by giving me a whole waffle? WTF?!?! What's with all of these arbitrary rules? Just charge me extra for the other half my waffle! This is ridiculous! What's more, every time I bit into my chicken the texture of the breading reminded me of fried notebook paper. There was literally a moment I had to check to make sure I wasn't eating some kind of paper wrapper or something. The flavor was still okay, but the texture? Not great. CHEESE GRITS (3/5) The silver lining is that I really didn't need the other half of the waffle; after eating some of my cheese grits side, I was full. I think the grits tasted like I remember -- still good -- but they seemed remarkably under-seasoned. I don't remember having to add so much of my own salt and pepper last time. So, add this all together with the SERVICE FEE SCAM, and I'm done. Never coming here again. Not worth it. AND PAY YOUR KITCHEN STAFF!

Peach cobbler French toast AMAZING

Heard a lot about this place and checked it out , finding a parking spot is a challenge so be prepared for that , found a spot and was greeted by a really nice southeast Asian gentleman with a great personality he seated us we had to wait about 10 minutes for somebody to notice us frustrating but it was busy , our waitress was very nice and helped us order, food and drinks were amazing highly recommend if you love brunch

The service and ambiance were really nice and welcoming! However, the food was way too salty! The crème brûlée French toast was good!

Parking is horrible but once you find a spot you're good. Service was on point. Server was friendly, attentive and informative about the menu. Drinks were good and very prett

Creme brulee latte and honey lavender latte - both wayyyyy too sweet
Isabel L.

Giving it one star for the service being nice & friendly. However, the flavors of the meal itself were terrible and the worst I've ever had. Unfortunately everything we ordered was a MISS. It was either too sweet or too salty; and unfortunately even though the service was decent, I couldn't look past it. I truly have not had a disappointing meal like this in forever. For drinks, we got the caramel latte and the honey lavender latte. Both were insanelyyyyyy sweet, it felt like diabetes in a cup. We ended up not even finishing half of the lattes... disappointing Onto the food. We got the pernil eggs Benedict and kitchen sink. Both would honestly be fine however it was SOOOOOO SALTY. I feel like my sodium levels were going thru the roof and I could instantly feel a headache forming. I do not think the cooks are tasting their food as they're making it - the seasoning on the food was wayyyyyy too salty for consumption. Overall just so disappointed because I do see the potential. They have a fun menu with cool options but they need to taste their food because it was just unenjoyable. The technique was there - pernil was tender, poached egg was cooked well, hash browns were crispy BUT the overwhelming amount of salt on the dish was unacceptable and completely ruined it. I felt like the entire meal was a waste of money. I'd feel healthier and more satisfied eating breakfast at a fast food joint. I will not be returning unfortunately.

The food and service was amazing. Even on a Saturday morning the restaurant was it packed with people. I arrived around 1:00pm and I was seated. I ordered the chicken and waffles and a Bellini ! The food was filling it not heavy. I can tell they use natural clean ingredients. The location was clean and super welcoming! Whenever I am in Philly I will definitely go back again.

We enjoyed this brunch spot. Great omelets, caramel coffee, hashbrowns, eggs Benedict.

Our very first time here! The french toast trio was absolutely amazing!!! Cookie Dough was my favorite ! Super delicious ! The best choice! The red velvet pancakes were huge and they were good! My avocado platter was great, I just needed there more than 2 toasts for all the food! The waffles and chicken also good! All the places were really big! But the winner is the french toast no doubt !!! It is only cash, I didn't know, but luckily I had some cash and there was an ATM machine. We parked kind of far, but then we found a spot at the door and we changed our car. Super recommend ! The place is cozy and welcoming ! Great customer service.

I was in town for a hot minute and I just had to have brunch at my favorite breakfast spots with one of my favorite people! This was our first time at this location on Gaul st. I'm usually at the 2nd street location. I like that it was a little more spacious than 2nd st. and I enjoyed watching them make food right by our table. Now to get to the good part, the crème brûlée is hands down my favorite French toast here, and I love their pork bacon and they always make my scramble eggs with cheese just the way I like it! Chris said that his French toast was really good but, it had a little too much of the strawberry cream for him. Other than that, we had a great breakfast. A few tips; it's cash only and they have an atm machine inside. It's street parking so good luck on a busy day ( we caught an Uber) and they close at 3 during the week.

This green eggs cafe is located on one of the main arteries of fishtown. The sign on the front of the building can be misleading because not only does it have the green eggs cafe sign but also two other signs mentioning a pizza place which no longer exists. On another note, I came here for a to go order on a weekday morning. I had been eyeing the crème brûlée French toast and finally got the opportunity to order it. During my pick up, they confirmed that the establishment was cash only. There was a good amount of people there for a weekday breakfast/brunch. Fifteen minutes after my order, I got my order and went on to enjoy my French toast. The portion was huge and it matched my expectations of deliciousness. So I was overall happy.

I don't usually travel on this side of town, but I needed to take care of some business. Walked right past Green Eggs Cafe a thought "let's go in for some brunch!". This was our first time here, and I didn't know what to expect. We were seated right away. It has an airy feel about the place. The waiter was very friendly and gave us time to order. The menu has a lot of great things to choose from. My daughter decided on the Vegan Creme Brulee French Toast. It was huge! Challah bread dipped in vanilla bean custard topped with a Berry compote, fresh berries w/ maple syrup. My husband ordered the " Kitchen Sink." This was also huge, which is 3 eggs, sausage crumbles, gyureye cheese, potatoes, onions, and sausage gravy on a large biscuit in an iron skillet. He brought what he couldn't eat home for 2 more meals! He said it was delicious as well! I think the name fits the dish! I decided on the Shrimp & Grits. It comes with 2 eggs (anyway you like), 5 shrimps, and cheesy grits. The grits were nice, thick and cheesy. They could have made it a even 6 shrimps, but.... ok! They were still delicious. I had enough to bring home for another meal. For drinks, we got a Pineapple breeze and a iced salted caramel mocha coffee. I must say all the food and drinks had a beautiful presentation and were equally as good. Service was great, and I would definitely go back to Green Eggs Cafe if I'm ever on that side of town! P.S. It's cash only!!!!

Creole Shrimp and Grits

Such an enjoyable mid week brunch here! I met friends around 9 am. Plenty of tables were available. A much more relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere than the weekends!! If you go on the weekend, plan on a wait. The room is large with big windows so there's lots of natural light. Our server and other staff wore masks. The staff is friendly. Our server was efficient, checked on us and was pleasant. The food never disappoints here. My friend had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was cooked perfectly while the grits were creamy and cheesy. The crème brûlée French Toast is soooo good! It is thick slices in a creamy vanilla sauce with lots of berries. Syrup and a scoop of butter too it off. The portions are large. We all took home a doggie bag. I walked out without my doggie bag but our server had it put aside. I was glad she didn't trash it!

Steak & Eggs $18

I absolutely love this popular brunch spot. There is usually a long wait time because of its popularity. Today, the traffic wasn't too bad... perhaps everyone is down at the shore? Not sure, but my party of 6 was very happy! We were promptly seated, given menus, and received water. The menu is well created, sweets, savory, drinks. I've had the chicken & waffles Benedict and the Banana French toast already - fabulous! This time around I tasted the crème brûlée French toast and the steak and eggs - I don't think you can possibly go wrong with any of the options. Keep in mind this place is cash (though they do have an ATM. Any bill over $50 automatically adds 18% gratuity that will go to staff.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

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.
