My friends and I were looking for a quick breakfast place near blue mountain and I found Griddle 145. There are great reviews here and I was not disappointed. Usually, I'd order something familiar for breakfast like scrambled eggs and toast. Instead, I went for something original. The "Tomato Florentine Benedict" (poached eggs, ham, tomatoes, spinach, and caramelized onions on English muffins with home fries) was delicious! Now I wish this were closer to home so I could get it all the time. They had a special of pierogi fries, which were a surprising hit. read more

The food and service is pretty good for a breakfast place. I ate here with my family and they enjoyed it as well.

Great place and the food is always amazing ! Never had a bad experience! Weekends get busy, go early !

Service and food amazing. My hubby got the money crosto and I got the lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes, yummy! One suggestion to any diners, get on the waitlist online through their website prior to getting there. read more

The service is good and the food is always on point. My family really like the place.

I originally been to griddle 145 for their opening day and visited several times since then honestly, one of the best breakfast I've ever had nice selection prices are a little steep, but if you don't mind that excellent food read more

Wonderful experience. Food was excellent. Service was attentive but not overly so. The buttermilk pancakes are amazing. Orange creamsicle mimosa was a first for me.... And it was very tasty. By far the best breakfast we found in the area. read more

Found this place on yelp as I was headed to the airport. It had some great reviews so I was excited to try their jalapeño "grits" and tofu scramble. It fell flat. At first glance, the scramble looked great- until I took a couple bites only to find my plate was swimming in water. They obviously do not know how to press water out of tofu. It sogged down everything on my plate so after I few bites, I was done. As a Southerner, the "grits" were disappointing too. They were actually polenta. If you are from the South and you expect a creamy cheesy bowl of grits...this was NOT it. The service was great- I will say that. It's not the servers fault the food stinks. However, to top off the experience, after I gave a generous tip anyway and requested a to-go cup for coffee because I had a long drive, they told me it was $1 extra after I had already closed out. So I sat for an extra 10 minutes just to enjoy my coffee before the trip. Extremely disappointing! read more

Breakfast is always stupendous! Try the Bananas Foster French Toast or Tomato Florentine eggs Benedict. You can't go wrong with either one of these selections. I have never had a bad meal here. Always look forward to coming. read more

The food was outstanding and service was all that we expected. The waitress was attentive but not bothersome.

This is a really cute place for a brunch or breakfast vibe. Best to get a reservation if you can since it gets busy. Their chicken and waffles were very flavorful. The chicken was a little small since they used tenderloins but still not dry. They have a lot of great options and the wait staff was attentive and very nice. read more

Ok I don't usually stick to one place while traveling,and watching my son play baseball. BUT this place is awesome and priced cheap. Service, staff are incredible and the food top notch. You have to hit this place if in the area. read more

Excellent breakfast menu. Many different omelettes to choose from and different styles of eggs benedict

Total gem in the middle of a depressed area. Cheesesteak omelet was awesome but the winner of this restaurant is their pierogie fries. They are absolutely to die for. They need to make that dish into an entree. read more

Not quite a diner. Not quite a bistro. Not quite a cafe. Griddle 145 works partially because it defies categorization but also because the premise I think is to make food that while simple, is executed well and consistent everytime. I've never been here for lunch so I can't comment on that but as for a weekday breakfast, here it comes. To be honest not much on the regular breakfast menu does it for me for a few reasons. I'm not part of the precious crowd that has to have things sourced from a special place or made in a special way or that has to be unique nor am I allergic to everything so that making a pancake requires a separate kitchen. The other issue here is price. $1.50 for maple syrup is steep and $7 for a cup of fruit is a ripoff. Not everything on the menu is priced that way but there is definitely some nickel and diming going on. Actually one other thing about pricing here which altered my order. They've got five or six omelets on the menu that are all non-negotiable in how they are made as per the menu. If you want any type of alteration you are forced to go the build your own omelet route. While I suppose I get it if I'm going for a smoked gouda with crabmeat, ham and spinach deal but if I'm just looking to subtract one thing like say get The Buster without onions it shouldn't cost more to get an omelet that has less but here it does. No Bueno So I went the route of the breakfast tacos. The side of the breakfast potatoes were decent enough. Nothing outstanding and honestly you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the potatoes here versus what you could get at Perkins, Friendly's or some local greasy spoon diner. The tacos themselves were fantastic. Perfect size and perfect flavor. Simple and clean. The service was standard as the guy we had was friendly enough and brought everything out in a timely manner including prompt drink refills. Look, inherently I'm an SOB grader when it comes to restaurants as a whole so take my opinion with a grain of salt but, the menu is decent but nothing special and when you start getting into the $20 and above range for two people at breakfast it begins to make my eye twitch spastically. I also don't like when places play games with pricing by charging you more when you want less on an order. The tacos themselves (not the potatoes) were very good but honestly not good enough to make me want to go out of my way to come here anytime soon. Solid three all the way. read more

I have eaten breakfast at this restaurant many times and the food and service was 5 stars. However I went there this past July and was disappointed. The server was disinterested to the point that when I placed my order I requested no toast or potatoes and they were brought anyway. The omelet that I ordered ( spinach, tomato and feta) tasted "old". I couldn't tell if it was the eggs or if it was already made. She never came back to see if we wanted a refill of coffee or how our food was. Hopefully next time I go my experience will be better or it may be my last. read more

The service was phenomenal. Our server was covering several tables and didn't skip a beat. The food was delicious. Served hot and great presentation. The ambiance was a bit cold, but had a great vibe. I'd definitely go back. read more

Outstanding customer service. The coffee is the best and just love the stepped-up breakfast and lunch menu. Great vibe. Our favorites are the Huevos Ranchero and Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. read more

Wasn't very impressed with this place given all the high star reviews. It's a Sunday so they are busy, but that's to be expected. We waited almost 20 minutes for our food, which was pretty bland. Pumpkin Pancakes weren't flavorful and didn't come with syrup unless you paid 1.45 for it. I would have gladly done that but our waitress never came to check up on us. We had been finished for almost 10 minutes and had to ask for the check. There are a lot better options out there. read more

Might be a little hard to find if you're not from the area especially if heading South on 145. Clean, quiet with a pleasant atmosphere. They claim farm fresh local ingredients and I can confirm that with at least one local farmer. Inspired by Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives according to a news article. Husband / wife team = chef / baker and responsible for the interior design. Complimentary mimosa on this Sunday morning. My wife ordered Red Velvet Pancakes and I ordered Huevos Rancheros and the pork was delicious as was the entire plate. The cream cheese icing on the pancake was equally delicious, not too sweet and just right. The pancakes were moist and flavorful. The Lehigh Valley needs more choices like Griddle145. We WILL be back. read more

After 30+ minutes of deciding which brunch restaurants to eat at, we finally chose Griddle 145. I was happy we chose this place. On the outside it just looks like a regular diner joint. But once you walk inside, it was really pretty. Green walls and orange seats. It sounds tacky but it's nice when you're actually there. We sat down, we ordered our food. Let me tell you the serving size is basically good for 2/3 meals of your day. My older sister ordered her Oreo waffle (she does not like pancakes.) her boyfriend ordered some ranchero plate lol. It's freaking huge. Possible the size of two plates together. He also ordered the red velvet pancake. Which I was not too crazy about. If you asked me it's a bit bland. My little sister ordered her kids menu and it's basically an adult size. I ordered the Strawberry Brioche French Toast. It was delicious! And a lot. Let's just say I could only finish 2/4 parts of the waffle. After a while it does get too sweet. Let's just say their COMPLEMENTARY MIMOSA washed the sweetness down lol If it's free, it's for me! The wait was long but we did not mind. Free wifi. Ask receptionist for PW. Would I return? Yes ma'am. read more

WOW! What a pleasant surprise. Planned for a great brunch in Bethlehem but was worried about missing a flight when I came across Griddle 145 on Yelp en route to the airport. Was mentally prepared for a so-so brunch but was SO WRONG. This place was great! I was with a friend and we sat at the bar because every single table was taken (thats always a great sign). Everything we ordered came out quickly and tasted SO GOOD! Our waitress recommended the Scallion Pancakes and although I wasn't sure what to expect, I never ignore recommendations from staff. DELICIOUS! Crispy-asian inspired pancake crisps with egg in the middle? Not sure how I would describe them, but ORDER THEM. I was also really enjoyed The Buster. Pulled Pork for breakfast in an omelette is always a good idea. Breakfast potatoes were blehhh. Decided to ignore them to make more room for the DELICIOUS SCALLION PANCAKES! Highly recommend this place! read more

Sure, I'd receive Griddle 145 as a breakfast, lunch, early afternoon restaurant. Casual ,everyday dining, nicer atmosphere than a diner. Once I went there in later afternoon and it wasn't so good.....meal was very slow....but as I said, it's more of an earlier in the day establishment. read more

Depends what you go for. GO FOR PANCAKES OR CARB BAKED GOODS. Not for eggs, toast, or potatoes. I give a 2/5 rating for what I got & a 4/5 for what my girlfriend got. I got the chicken & gravy breakfast. Chicken was well seasoned but dry as hell. Gravy sauce was on point. Potatoes were cold, oily, & dry, the worst combo you can get. Bread was stale. The restaurant had a moldy fermenting smell in the place, def some water issues going on there which makes you wonder if it's going into the food. My girlfriend got crescent French toast that was to die for & I saw another gentleman with loaded pancakes that looked amazing. GO FOR THAT, or vegan options, nothing else. read more

great food! If we ever come this way again I will stop! This doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside it was beautiful! great staff and friendly atmosphere! 100% will recommend! read more

We got take out this time and good thing we did! They were PACKED for Sunday brunch! When we got home, the food was still hot so that guy who complained about the food being cold must have experienced an anomaly. Omg as I'm writing this I can feel my stomach struggling to expand. The Itis!!! The French toast was amazing, even better than the last time I had it. And the breakfast potatoes were slammin! I think my batch was a brand new fresh batch and I think they bake them! So good. Fruit was tasty and fresh, not from a can or industrial sized container, and my boyfriend was more than satisfied with his omelet. He couldn't finish his pancake but we're saving it for later, don't worry! read more

Had a nice breakfast here this morning. The service was excellent. I arrived with a large latte in hand and was informed no outside drinks are allowed, but our server handed me a mug to pour my drink into instead of confiscating it. ;) I ordered classic eggs Benedict made with regular bacon vs Canadian. The hollandaise was delicious, but I found my eggs slightly undercooked. I'll be sure to ask for them to be cooked longer next time. Saw a table nearby with the stuffed French toast and had to try that as well. The portion was huge and I ended up taking most of it home. It's sweet and heavy and creamy and everything an indulgent breakfast should be. Oh! Rosemary breakfast potatoes were crispy and seasoned well. Really good. The prices are a bit steep for breakfast in this area, but it's a solid 4 stars. read more

Griddle 145 - Huevos con chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite places for brunch in the Valley. My only gripe is that there is ALWAYS a wait on the weekends and no ability to make reservations. But it's worth it! I've loved almost everything I've ever ordered, from the farm scramble to the breakfast tacos to the stuffed french toast. They have a chalkboard with specials, including some enticing desserts, but I've never actually made it to dessert. Too many delectable savory items! They also have some vegan items - a tofu scramble, and a "no huevos" rancheros. I found them to be somewhat bland, but I appreciate the effort! read more

My husband and I visited Griddle 145 for the first time this weekend. We enjoy finding breakfast destinations that feature both plant-based and omnivorous options to suit each of us. We ordered the No Huevos Rancheros, a Mexican-style tofu scramble, and the Blackstone Benedict, and English-style eggs Benedict. Although the staff didn't consistently mask nor appropriately socially distance from each other when between customers, the restaurant made the investment to have QR codes at each table to access their online menu via your personal device, they required masking of patrons until seated, and they assure appropriately spaced seating. The food was wonderful, the house coffee was solid, and the service was timely and appropriately attentive. read more
