Brussel sprout omlet a hit. The Griddle is one of those most places to visit in the valley

Best brunch I have had in awhile. On Sunday you get a complimentary mimosa! Definitely come hungry because the servings are big! Great start to a Sunday ! read more

What an awesome breakfast spot. Had the Huevos rancheros which were awesome. Make sure to get the chorizo. Our waitress was Lisa and she was very kind and helpful. Great service. Organic coffee was also excellent. read more

Food: 5 Service: 5 Appearance: 5 I ordered the scrambled tofu (seasoned with turmeric) and home style potatoes (well seasoned with rosemary). My husband got the huevos rancheros. We both got a side of French toast for extra. The food was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The restaurant itself is quaint. It's a bright green but it looks modern with a bit of a hipster vibe. It's 5mins away from the Lehigh Valley mall without traffic. Our waitress was nice, a bit stoic and lacked affect. None the less, she was attentive and did her job. I would return and recommend this restaurant to others. read more

So if it was possible for me to have their Belgium Waffle with Nutella on the side for breakfast everyday getting up in the morning would no longer be a struggle. My boyfriend lives in Whitehall so I beg him to take me here almost every weekend I visit! Not only are the servers super friendly but they also are attentive and quick on the coffee refills (major plus). Writing this review alone has me craving a Waffle ...can't wait to visit again soon! read more

This has to be one of the hidden gems in the Lehigh Valley! My wife and I have been wanting to try the griddle for awhile now and last Friday since we were both off we finally did. She chose the chicken and waffle and I chose the Nutella Fella Pancakes which were amazing. She enjoyed her breakfast and I loved mine. Not to mention their coffee is some of the best I've ever had! We liked it so much we went back Sunday with my parents and everyone enjoyed their meal. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Griddle 145 - Nutella Fella Pancakes and chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

First time going to griddle 145. I heard good reviews about it so I was dying to try. It was packed on the weekends and I had to make reservation before hand. We orders and the portions were large. Everything was great but the food was subpar. It didn't have good flavor and tasted bland. read more

I've always wanted to check this place out but didn't want to drive that far up MacArthur...I'm glad I made the "hike". The food was excellent & the service was fast and friendly. I absolutely love diner breakfast but I have to say, this is the filet mignon of breakfast. read more

The reviews for this place were spectacular so my group was excited to check it out. The decor is bright and clean and welcoming! Great options on the menu. The actual product was a disappointment. I really wanted to like it.... But the eggs Benedict was served on an English muffin that wasn't toasted...which made it mushy... and about one tablespoon of a watered down version of Hollandaise sauce. One egg was poached the other hard boiled. Sadness... I will say the coffee is delicious! read more

3.5 stars. Being that this is one of the top rated brunch spots in the area, I went in with high expectations. Although my expectations were not quite met, my friend and I both enjoyed our meals. We started off with pierogi fries, which had a nice crispy exterior that yielded to a creamy potato filling. I then ordered the Bayside omelette. Crabmeat is listed as the first ingredient in the description, but it was not incorporated within the omelette; rather, it was sprinkled lightly on top of my omelette as a garnish. A little bland, but a light drizzle of hot sauce went a long way. The potatoes were tasty and seasoned just right. Overrated, but not a bad option for brunch. There are many better brunch spots in the Lehigh Valley area. read more

As a family that goes out to breakfast every weekend, we have made our way around the Lehigh Valley. Generally speaking there are tiers within the breakfast offerings in the LV and Griddle 145 is in the top tier. Tucked into a somewhat unusual location, Griddle 145 has a clean, welcoming, and upbeat vibe. The space is large and there are several different types of seating. We bring our little kids and the staff has always been amazing as they interact with our boys and accommodate all somewhat wacky needs that we have. The food is always fresh and tasty. Some of our experienced highlights have been the no huevos rancheros, the mamma omelet, the daddy omelet, and the breakfast mashup (Sunday's only). The breakfast meats and the bread being used for the toast are a cut above with the bacon having a very smoky flavor and the rye toast being a much thicker cut. The pancakes are sweet and always very crispy. The breakfast mashup is one of the best options in the LV but is only available on Sundays. A somewhat unusual perk is the entire menu is available all day so if you are or know someone who is not a huge breakfast fan you can have a burger or taco while everyone else has breakfast. All in all, this is one of the best breakfast spots in the Valley. read more

Griddle 145 is wonderful little place offering great breakfasts. I enjoyed my apple pecan pancakes and freshly brewed coffee. This place is a little gem and I'll be sure to visit when I'm next in Allentown area. read more

Love love love it here. Love their hashes, love their iced lavender coffee. Love their French toasts. It's clean, food is something you can tell they put thought and effort info, and the staff is friendly and very attentive. Great breakfast joint! read more

Had pretty high hopes for this pace. It was Sunday and busy. First the positive - my Heuvos Rancheros was excellent. In our party of 6, I am pretty that I was the only person giving their meal a 5 star though. The eggs my mother law had looked like they were poured from a carton and had absolutely no flavor. They were sent back. Pancakes that came out as "sides" were about 1/8" thick and you get two. Definitely not the experience at other breakfast places. Probably about $.15 worth of batter. Service was so-so but with it being as busy as it was, I wasn't that disappointed in it. During the entire meal experience, I had one cup of coffee with one refill halfway through my meal. Our server was pretty hasty on getting us to place our order then really nonexistent the rest of the time. Again, I attribute that to Sunday morning and a line out the door of people waiting. read more

Great atmosphere. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was great. The online wait list was a breeze.

I'm not sure why the place has near 5 stars, but it is tasty food. Hubs, the boy, and I stopped in on our way home from the 30th annual Celtic Classic. Yelp rarely steers us wrong so when we saw this close by spot with such great ratings we couldn't resist. We had no wait which was pleasantly surprising based on previous reviews. I think they are trying to churn tables quickly due to popularity and that comes out in some of the food. Breakfast potatoes were undercooked and my toast was really nothing more than warm bread. And that was the second batch I had to order because first set was slathered with butter when I asked for dry. We ordered Chick'N Waffles, Build-your-own-Omelette and a Pumpkin Pancake special for the little one. Hubs enjoyed the chicken, fried crispy and sans the country gravy as requested. The waffles were basically one small step above freezer waffles. My omelette with egg whites was tasty if not a bit greasy and lacking in veggies. For the extra charges you would think they could spare a few more spinach leaves. Toast and potatoes were a mess though. Cold, awfully undercooked, and under seasoned. The Pumpkin Pancake was absolutely delicious. There was a small pecan cream cheese swirl on top which was just the right amount of creamy on the fluffy, huge, crispy skinned pancake. Pretty ideal actually. Which tells you to stick to the sweet dessert-like items and you probably won't go wrong. We left full and sated but the cost isn't worth a wait for breakfast food and the food had its ups and downs. Would probably try a few more places in the area before considering going back here. read more

a modern diner with interesting delicious offerings and a hip wait staff. Portions are LARGE so order accordingly. We loved the not heuavos rancheros. They graciously subbed over easy eggs for the tofu so it was kind of a not dairy heauvos ranceros - exactly what we wanted. read more

From the outside, you'd be surprised to know how yummy the food served at Griddle 145 really is. In an unassuming building on a busy road, this place is not what you might picture for a brunch spot, but it did not disappoint! My boyfriend got an omelet that was on special, which he said was good (and looked very lovely on his plate) and we split a short stack of lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes. That is a must try menu item! I literally never order pancakes, and these made me feel like I was eating a lemony, fluffy cloud. They were not dense or greasy or rubbery - they were delicious! I also tried the cheesy grits and a side of bacon and fruit. Nothing crazy but it was what I wanted and it hit the spot! Coffee was quite good too. We will be back! And I will take pics of the food next time.... read more

My husband and I are always up for trying "Mom & Pop" kinds of places. We were visiting Allentown and wanted to see what places were the "Go To." Griddle 145 seemed to be a good choice. When we got there there was about three tables sat. We were immediately seated and greeted with a friendly demeanor. Our food arrived fairly quickly, I ordered the Strawberry Cream Cheese Brioche French Toast. Pretty sure my eyes couldn't get any wider at the size of French Toast. The portions are generous and the french toast was great. I enjoyed it and would gladly order it again if were in area again. My husband had breakfast potatoes that were forgettable and unevenly cooked. Service was fairly good in the beginning, however, as our dining experience continued we were attended to less and less. Granted the restaurant had started to fill with the late morning crowd. Eventually we had to go to the front desk in order to get our check to leave. Understandably so given the fact the waiter was also the cashier and the waiter for the entire restaurant. With another waiter or someone to man the cashier/seating, the restaurant would have no fault in my eye, but certainly would give it a second chance as the food was good. Still, give it a shot! read more

Griddle 145 - Brioche French Toast with Strawberry Cream Cheese. Delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

I have a feeling this is going to become a regular place in my breakfast rotation. The service was prompt. The food was great!! I love the esthetic. The only thing I can say that would make this place a little better is a more extensive coffee offering. Other then that everything is on point. I can't wait to go back and try one of their sweet breakfast dishes. Also don't forget to ask for you're mimosa on Sunday!! read more

Griddle 145 - Short rib hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Came here Saturday for brunch. Coffee was good. Service was great. Food was mediocre at best. I ordered the crab benedict. It was sprinkled with crab, not so much of actual lump crab on top. The flavor overall was just bland. And the hollandaise sauce seemed liquidy. My fiancé ordered the chicken fried steak..why is it called chicken fried steak when the actual meat is chicken but steak? And the chicken was very dry. I wanted to come here with high hopes after seeing the reviews but I would not recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Great food, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyed our breakfast there.

Let me just say that I love breakfast food and I like a basic pile of pancakes some days and eggs Benedict the next. I have been here two times, right before noon when it is less busy and there is no wait on Saturday. The crab eggs Benedict has succulent claw meat on top of a perfectly cooked egg. The muffin was crispy and the overall meal was absolutely perfect. The bananas foster is also amazing and has thick slices of bakery bread for the French toast. Everything is amazing and worth the price. Highly recommended from someone who gets breakfast every Saturday for the past 3 years. Also the overall appearance is brightly colored and welcoming. It's hidden gem and an excellent place for brunch before a day of shopping at the Lehigh Valley Mall. read more

Great brunch food! I stopped in here with a large group of colleagues and the staff were very accommodating. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which tasted delicious, and most of my colleagues ordered the French toast or stuffed French toast which was huge and stacked with toppings. I was able to try some and it tasted great, although I wouldn't be able to finish the entire dish in one sitting. I'm from outside the area but I will be looking to stop in again for that French toast! read more

Love love love love love this place!! Everything I have tried is good. The eggs florentine Benedict is one of my favorites. The farm scramble is delicious! There breakfast potatoes with a hint of rosemary are always crisp and yummy. I also recommend the stuffed French toast or cinnamon roll swirl pancakes they had on special! read more

Stopped in w the hubby for Sunday brunch. The reception area had a weird smell of musty carpet and construction glue. I dunno what it is but they need to put some fresheners or something. We where excited though as it seemed busy and decorated well. The girls at reception where very polite and seated is within a 10-15 wait. Our server was very nice, we said it was our first time there and she recommended some things. Free mimosas was a nice treat too. The food was disappointing. Nothing was really outstanding and everything was coated w a weird tasting sauce. Not into Mexican spicy so I was not happy. We ate around the food but felt like we hadn't really eaten and I left there still hungry because We didn't really enjoy the food. Didn't want to spend any more money so we didn't order anything else. $30 out the window and still hungry. read more

So yesterday too we wanted some place else. That spot was mad crowded so we came here. We got seats quick like. I didn't see no flavored coffee tho so I got some "fresh" oj. It seemed like some Tropicana. No real oj flavor like fresh. The food tho was good. The potatoes was nasty to me but they eggs and the garlic aioli was nice. Gave my sammich a good flavor. I'd come back again when in Allentown. read more

Took me 2 years to finally get here (always an absurd wait time which is a promising sign about the restaurant) and I was pretty disappointed to say the least. I got the country fried hash. It looked good when it came out, then I cut into it. Fortunately I cut into the side that I did because the chicken was still raw. I tracked down our waitress and she was mildly apologetic and took the dish back and brought a new one back a few minutes later. I was able to eat the second one. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. My girlfriend got the tostadas which were scrambled eggs in a store bought tortilla bowl with some pico, cheese and bacon. She thought it was sub par for what she was expecting it to be. We also split a buttermilk pancake with chocolate chips. This was the highlight of the meal. Pancake was huge and had the perfect amount of chocolate chips. The pancake was crispy but fluffy, everything you could ask for in a pancake. The kicker to the whole meal was when the bill came out I was expecting some sort of gesture to compensate for serving me raw chicken. Something small, take the coffee off our bill or whatever. But nothing. That may have brought my business back for another shot at Griddle 145. Wasn't the worst meal I've ever had but I'm not going through the hassle to get back here. Based on my experience I think it's safe to suggest to stick to the dessert breakfasts (French toast, pancakes etc.). I don't think I'll be back. read more

Always a great Brunch. Great service and delicious Breakfast. Love the Lemon Blueberry ricotta pancakes a must.

I have been to this place about 4 times and I can say the food is not your typical dinner food. I is a breath of fresh air compare to what is on the area. The food is tasty, I love the Huevos Rancheros amongst many other specialties on the menu. Weekends could be very iffy when it comes to the wait time, to eat in. My biggest pet peeve is the fact that when you call the phone number on Sundays (only time I've tried calling) it sounds busy all the time, I tried calling consistently for half an hour. Don't bother showing up to this place to do a take out order on Sundays as well because you will be greeted with the "on Sundays we do not do take out orders". It would be nice if they answered their phone or if they listed that important peace of information on their Yelp page. Besides that I recommend going their to eat. read more

Im giving this place 4 stars for their unique menu, cozy atmosphere and friendly servers. Ordered the banana foster french toast and a side of bacon. Let me tell u, the f.t slices were humongous! ! Nice place. Ill def go back read more

Griddle 145 - Banana foster french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Outstanding place for breakfast. Love it there! Staff always friendly, great atmosphere.

No baby changing station! We arrived and I needed to change my baby's diaper and did not see a baby changing station in the women's bathroom. I asked a server if they had one and their response was, "No, but we get asked that often." I had to change my baby's diaper on the bathroom counter which was not enough room. I didn't think restaurants had the option. Public bathrooms should have baby changing stations. read more

Breakfast was great. French toast, potatoes, gluten free pancakes, scrambled tofu all wonderful, and no waiting.

I'm not sure which was worse, the food or the service. We were met with an exaggerated eye roll by the hostess upon asking for a table for two, which probably should have been an indication to turn around. Couldn't substitute onions for mushrooms because I know how difficult that can be. Foamy, rubbery, overpriced Egg Beater omelettes cooked in margarine. Half-raw, flaccid, crunchy, grease-slicked, unseasoned potatoes. Just a regrettable experience in a crappy restaurant with a confused identity in a depressing town. read more

Great service every time I dine here. The food is always decent. Nothing I can ever complain about at Griddle 145. I definitely recommend this place. read more
