Southern Gravy Bowl

Went here 5 years ago and on my recent return trip to Philly, I insisted with my friends that we go here. Everyone was overwhelmed by choices on the menu. One of my friends and I ended up splitting a few things, and while it was all solid, felt that there was something slightly off in the execution. Still I'd come back next time I'm in Philly.

Flavorful Dishes with Some Service and Policy Quirks Green Eggs Café in Philly offers a memorable brunch experience, but it's not without its quirks. Let's start with the food:The Crème Brûlée French Toast was incredibly rich and decadent--vanilla extract and heavy cream really came through, making it bold and flavorful (though it might be too much for some). The Short Rib Egg Roll and Egg White Omelette were both packed with flavor and cooked well. Unfortunately, the Cheesy Hash Brown was a letdown--it came out as an overcooked, fried rectangle lacking the texture and taste I expected. We went around 10 a.m. on a Friday. It was busy, but we were seated right away. The interior was clean, modern, and decently spacious without feeling cramped. Metered parking is available along the side street ($2 for 2 hours), which was convenient. Pros: * Flavorful, creative dishes * Fast food prep despite the crowd * Diverse menu with fresh ingredients Cons: * Service didn't match the food quality--our server responded "I don't know" to basic menu questions and never checked in after food was delivered * An automatic 18% gratuity is charged on checks over $50 (a policy I haven't seen in this kind of setting) * Cash only, which isn't made super obvious ahead of time * Policy posted on every table says if your dish isn't to your liking, it can only be remade "to the chef's standard"--which feels a bit rigid and unwelcoming Would I come back? For the food, yes. But I'd manage my expectations around service and the unusual business practices.

Went on a Sunday afternoon as a group of 6. We only had a 10 minute wait, which was better than I expected. So thank you. The service was great, no complaints. I ordered the strawberry matcha, short rib Benedict, and a side of silver dollar pancakes. The strawberry matcha was good, it has cut up strawberries which got stuck in the straw. That made the drink hard to drink. The short rib Benedict was really good. It came with a cheesy hash on the bottom but I couldn't taste the hash. The short rib and hollandaise sauce combined were a salty which is why I think the breakfast potatoes would be a better base. The silver dollar pancakes were probably the worst part of my meal. At first I thought it was the syrup but the pancakes had a strange taste which is why I sent them back to get the breakfast potatoes. That was the best thing to offset the salty short rib. So order the potatoes instead of the cheesy hash as a base. I've been to a few of there locations before and I always forget it's cash only. They have an ATM available but in this day and age who carries around cash. That's just annoying to have to get cash. My personal pet peeve is group dinners where you have to calculate how much people owe, and being cash only makes it even worse. My other issue was that they have one price on their menu but the receipt had a different price. Yes it was a $2 difference but why? False advertisement much. The last thing that was annoying is that the menu says there's a 18% service fee but that's not gratuity. We asked the waitress and she say "yes and no"- yes it's gratuity but not it's not gratuity because it's split. Overall I'll still go back to the restaurant but just know I'll get annoyed by a few things.

We came to the Green Eggs Cafe in Brewerytown today after the Rocky Run 5k today. My group was a party of 9 and we as about 5 other similar sized groups showed up at the same time. The service was fast and efficient and the food was divine! I will definitely be coming back!

My first brunch of 2024 was in Philadelphia, since I spent New Year's Eve there. This place was spacious with plenty of seating, popular, yet able to accommodate our decently sized group. The interior was cute. I know I wanted one of the specialty coffee drinks, and went with the Salted Caramel Mocha Latte. This consisted of caramel syrup, espresso, steamed milk, sea salt, topped with whipped cream and drizzles of caramel / chocolate sauces. Absolutely delicious with strong taste of both flavors, creamy and sweet coffee. The Skillets sounded really good, so I ordered the Kitchen Sink one, which included 3 scrambled eggs, sausage crumbles, gruyere cheese, potatoes, peppers, onions, topped with sausage gravy, jumbo biscuit, in a cast iron skillet. This was HUGE and full of great, bold flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, sausage was tender and well seasoned, veggies were fresh and just the right consistency, while the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and the cheese was wonderfully melty. All the ingredients worked beautifully together, making for mouthwatering bites. I took more than half home and it tasted just as good the next day. Service was great. The waitress was welcoming and helpful. Prices are reasonable and it is important to note the restaurant is cash only. I definitely enjoyed my dining experience here.

I had the French toast board, which was a third of a regular sized portion of three different kinds of French toast: Creme Brulee | Cinnamon Bun| Cookie Dough. The cookie dough and cinnamon bun French toasts were my favorite! I will definitely get them again when I go back (yes, I will be planning on returning here!) The place is first come first served and cash only. The prices are reasonable especially for the portion sizes.

I have been to a few locations of Green Eggs, but not the one on Girard Ave! I was happy to meet up with family and enjoy a meal together! The staff were friendly and service prompt! The space offers spread out tables (not on top of fellow patrons) as some Green Eggs locations tend to do! The food portions continue to be plentiful and prepared perfectly! Cash Still Rules at Green Eggs!

The food was delicious and came fast. I personally didn't care for how expensive it's gotten over the years, but that happens. The server was really attentive. It's a really chiq environment, a nice place to take your mom out for brunch. Just be safe when you park.

Breakfast Egg Rolls
Cristina J.

Delicious! We came by from out of state and we have been seeing all the raving reviews for this place so we had to try. The breakfast eggrolls were tasty and different, French toast was delicious especially the cream topping, Benedict was great and so was the cheesy hash. The chips ahoy latte did not have much flavor just tasted like a regular iced latte unfortunately. The service was great no complaints there. Definitely a go to when visiting Philly.

Honey lavender latte
Denaire J.

Sundays are for brunch. Hungry and had time to spare. Seated right away. Parking is street parking only which can be challenging. Ordered a lavender honey latte and Oreo latte. Were delicious and worth the $6.00. The food order consisted of the chicken sandwich with home fries with onions and peppers. I probably won't get the home fries again. Very small cuts of potatoes. Ordered cheese grits which were very cheesy. I didn't order French toast but the ones that were coming out the kitchen looked delicious. Wide variety of food selections to include vegetarian Will visit again when in Philly.

Mango Empanadas
Jessica R.

I first bookmarked Green Eggs Cafe because of their specialty french toasts, but I ended up getting something else entirely. I wanted something savory but was warned the skillets would be huge. I split a weekly special, the Chicken Chilaquiles Skillet, with a friend. Two of our other friends got The Cure and The Kitchen Sink, which were huge too. Definitely plan to share if you get one. You can maybe finish it if you're a big eater. My friend and I also split another weekly special, the Mango Empanadas. They're more like mango cheesecake empanadas, though. I felt that the breading was too salty and the mango flavor didn't stand out in the cheesecake filling. I also tasted a bit of the Cinnamon Bun French Toast from a friend, which was too sweet for my tastes but did taste like cinnamon buns. Well done. Overall, Green Eggs Cafe has some unique dishes, but I don't think the quality is worth it for the price. It's also a little pricey for a cash-only joint. ($19 ish for a skillet) Note: It's a brunch chain in Philly, so the quality may differ between the branches.

Creme Brûlée French Toast
Andrea F.

Stumbled on this place nestled on a Brewerytown cozy corner actually in search of a different restaurant located on the same street. Being a Dr. Seuss fan there was no way we were going to walk passed without checking out what it was all about. One look at the menu and our original restaurant plan was quickly ditched. Who doesn't love breakfast, brunch and lunch served all day?! The menu offers a lot of options: sweet, savory or both! With coffees, lattes, teas and smoothies to complement your dining choice. Service is friendly and quick with a smile. We ordered the Creme Brûlée French Toast, Salted Caramel Banana Stuffed French Toast and sides of pork sausages and potatoes. When our main dishes arrived they were so beautiful we didn't want to ruin the art, but our stomachs won over quite quickly. The serving sizes are BIG! So come hungry. And oh boy, everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The Creme Brûlée French Toast was nicely balanced. The Caramel Banana Stuffed French Toast was very sweet, but we were warned hence the the sides to help off set. All in all a very nice accidental discovery. We would definitely revisit if in the area again. This place is CASH only! But there is an ATM at the door.

Just knocking off one star because for a $5.75 latte, they only filled the glass halfway up. I also got one of their famous pistachio sticky bun to take to go!

This was my first time actually trying it and it definitely lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. My wrap had chicken, hummus, lettuce, and feta, and it was so delicious. My chicken was very good, very tender and seasoned well. It also had a great creamy hummus to tie all the other ingredients together. The feta added just enough saltiness to balance out the rest of the flavors. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and my wrap was extremely soft, yet still maintained its form completely as I ate. I also ordered a Nutella hot chocolate. It was delicious! It was my fist time having a Nutella hot Chocolate. I usually just get a normal hot chocolate. The pita chips served as an additional side item with this sandwich and proved to be quite enjoyable. The pita chips had a good crunch and were able to pair with the wrap very well. I ended up eating all of the pita chips! It was a great lunch and I enjoyed my wrap! I would likely order from Café Square One again in the future, especially, if that wrap is still on their menu!

Dear reader, We went…read moreto City Tap in Philly with a large group just for drinks and had a thoroughly good time. The $10 martinis on Friday were an excellent deal and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. A well-priced martini always sets a promising tone, and these did exactly that. The bartenders were helpful and kept things moving impressively well, even with a group our size, which was much appreciated. The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

We ordered the ten-spice wings- and a gluten-free pizza- both were hearty, delicious, well-flavored devourable. The flight price on the menu says $14 for a local flight, but this has changed- it's priced per beer- viewable on Untapped App- so a flight is more like $18-20, because of the increased price- I opted for a pint, but the bartender was super friendly about allowing a few sip samples before deciding. The place had a great ambiance- the bar had sports tvs playing, the side tables had very happy hour chat vibe, and the back tables had a more intimate feeling. Overall, would recommend- it was a nice experience.
