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
Tino V.

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
Eduardo C.

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.

The location is excellent--just a couple of blocks from Independence Hall, making it a perfect place to stop for breakfast, brunch, coffee, or something freshly baked while exploring the historic area. Everything we ordered was freshly made, delicious, and served with care. We tried the Quiche Lorraine, which had an exceptionally flaky, buttery crust and was served with a small fresh salad. The dressing was excellent too. We also tried the baker's basket, including the croissants and scones. They had a slightly different recipe and flavor than we were accustomed to, but they were absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. The homemade jam was another standout--it was so good that I would recommend taking some home if you have the opportunity. The American omelet was also freshly prepared and brought to the table hot. We also enjoyed a freshly made cappuccino and black coffee. My son ordered the chorizo, and he said it was the best chorizo he has ever tasted anywhere. It was truly delicious! The customer service was excellent. The waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and helpful without being intrusive. Frida's has a charming, cozy, boutique-like atmosphere that combines a restaurant, coffee shop, and bakery. Pricing was average, about $20-30 per person. Cons: Honestly, we couldn't find any! However, the restroom could have been cleaner I highly recommend Frida's to anyone visiting Old City Philadelphia. The freshness and quality of the food really stood out, and you can tell that the baked goods and other dishes are prepared with care. It's a charming place in a fantastic location, and definitely worth a visit while exploring Philadelphia's historic district.

The drinks range from $6 to 8, which is within the average for coffees, teas and lattes now. I opted for the 16oz original viet coffee and added salt cold foam (0.50 upcharge) They also have limited drinks such as the pandan coffee and matcha and banhi mi sandwiches. The ice to liquid ratio was ideal- the small ice kept my drink cold while I walking around Chinatown and didn't dilute the coffee. The cold foam had the perfect amount of salt and the coffee was bold and smooth. Lastly, foam also didn't degrade into my coffee after minutes! I hope I'm able to sleep later, hehe. If you are in need of pick me, drop in and stay drippy!

No one is onsite at this hotel at all including for check in. When we got to our room, 304, we were pleased to see the design openness and finishing touches... However it had no shower head. They didn't care and said that there was no one on site at 7 pm on a Wednesday. From reading other reviews and after being here there is never anyone onsite and they don't mind renting out rooms at full price with no resources. The room rental is for two people and there is only 1 wash cloth, 1 robe and no hand towels. The AC is set to 68 but the actual temp is 75 and is not able to actually keep the room any cooler. Unfortunately the nice finishes don't make up for the downfalls. I wish this boutique hotel showed up better for its customers.

I was admitted to the nearest emergency room because I took a shower at this hotel and used the shower and its door normally. I was cut along my left wrist and forearm and on my right foot. Two of my toes and my wrist and arm are still recovering from this injury nearly a full month after this incident. At least one medical professional told me that I could have been at risk of bleeding out (dying) if the situation was slightly worse. And who knows if this hotel uses the same model shower door for more than just one of their rooms? The hotel's management did not call me to ensure my safety, apologize for the horror that they have put me through, or do their utmost to ensure that I am compensated for the horror that I was forced to experience at their establishment and it's been nearly a full calendar month since the incident with no successful proactive contact from them. Other than this horrifying experience which can likely happen to any of their other guests who decide to shower in their establishments the experience was beautiful. Very nice hotel room. Very dangerous shower. So if you are okay with risking your life and health every time you use their shower or don't plan on showering at their establishment at all, this is a great hotel for you to stay at.

They do charge a $7 fee to use them however. This was not communicated btw. Totally understandable for the charge, just it felt this was the theme of the visit. Poor managment/communication it would seem. When sat, there was no napkins. No silverware. No salt n pepper shakers. No ketchup. And it never came even after the food except the fork shoved in my salad. I had my son ask the bartender for a stack of napkins. It was odd.  This place is vegetarian. Totally fine but everything we tried to order, they were out of. No pizza (though the sign they had on the sidewalk said PIZZA). No black beans (which was on most of the dishes) or jalapeños. I asked for the faux chix sandwich...nope. Out of that too. Note the server did tell us the kitchen had a small spoonful left of black beans and divided it between my two sons...still was charged full price for the meal.  Finally, I was able order a Greek salad that came out with just lettuce leaves, a tablespoon of diced tomatoes, dusting of feta, and two peppers. I asked for the rest of the ingredients listed on the menu to which they were brought out. Not sure why they weren't on the salad to start. I had one small piece of lettuce on my beyond burger which was supposed to come with lettuce onion and tomatoes. The fries were wet.  All in all, dont come hungry to this place. Food was mid at best. Looks like a full bar and so many great games to play, but to say this is an eatery is a stretch. I feel badly for the server having to be the liaison between guests and a poor kitchen and management staff. Gentleman downstairs, Justin, was very sweet and informative on how the arcade worked. However because of the aforementioned, I don't think we'll be back.
