I'm leaving this review because allergen safety needs to be taken seriously. At Le Bus in East Falls, we were served bread that contained walnuts, and this was not disclosed. I have a severe walnut allergy and could have gone into anaphylactic shock. When we notified staff, the resolution offered was free drinks and soup for the table, which felt inadequate given the risk involved. I'm not trying to be dramatic -- this is a life-threatening situation for people with tree nut allergies. I truly hope management uses this as a wake-up call to improve allergen communication (including bread ingredients), staff training, and kitchen protocols. read more

What a darling place! My first time and we had a great brunch on a lovely Saturday. Friendly staff, quick service and tasty food! read more

I have been meaning to try this restaurant all of 2025. Well I finally made it to LeBus East Falls and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was awesome! Friendly and checked in on us without being overbearing. I ordered the Mexican Frittata and after the 1st bite I dropped my fork and rolled my eyes from the savory goodness! read more

Been coming here occasionally over the years for lunch meetings, so that's what brought me here last week. As always, the food is cooked well, tasty and they give you good portions. I probably always opt for some type of sandwich/burger since they bake their own breads. The staff is always smiling and friendly. I did decide to treat myself this time and get some chocolate chip cookies to go - good also read more

On the plus side, the martini was very good and the service is pretty good. The bread was good and the hummus plate was delicious. UnFortunately, this did not outweigh the negative. I ordered a hamburger, medium rare and it was closer to medium or well done. I ordered onion rings and they were burnt, cold and greasy. I couldn't even eat them. My wife ordered a curry chicken salad which was goopy with mayonnaise with no curry flavor at all. She did not even bother to eat it and not even bother to take it home with her. read more

Went here for dinner and reservations are a must because it gets crowded. The food was okay, but the service was great. It's a small spot with live music inside, which adds to the vibe. The drinks were good, too. I'd definitely come back for a quick dinner. read more

Nice cozy neighborhood restaurant with great food & service. They have the best vegetarian chili to go. I would suggest this place if you are looking for a nice low key place for a good meal. read more

After church, we visited LeBus for brunch/lunch. We were seated right away in a nice, warm, and clean restaurant. We ordered the Thai Turkey salad, shrimp and grits, seafood chowder, and chicken and corn chowder, all of which were delicious. I really enjoyed my soup, but after waiting another thirty minutes for my shrimp and grits, I flagged down the waitress, who told me it was "coming right up." My family enjoyed their food and engaged in good conversation, but my order still wasn't ready. After another thirty minutes, we called the waitress over again and asked her to cancel my shrimp and grits. She responded that it was ready, but I wondered why it hadn't been brought to our table yet. I also reminded her about the hot chocolate I had ordered. She apologized and brought a cup five minutes later. The reason this restaurant only received three stars from me is due to the poor service. read more

Oh my goodness! First of all this place is so cute and warm and welcoming. I arrived on a weekday to meet a friend for lunch and it was so lovely I can't imagine a better setting. The hostesses and wait staff were all so accommodating for us and our two babies which was so appreciated. We were seated upstairs in the back loft area so we had space to move around when they got unsettled which obviously happened a bunch. Honestly each of the ladies working that day were so kind and lovely I would go back just for them! Oh! And the food was so fresh and the bread! Ugh the bread is what dreams are made of. Can't wait to go back read more

The food is excellent. Lots of choices from salad & sandwiches to full entrees. Good vegetarian options. The bread basket is great. They are a first class bakery. Service was excellent. One of my favorite go-to's. read more

The food was great! The service was not bad. They forgot our bread and only gave us about 1/2 of our soup when we asked for it in a to go container. The ambiance is great! Loved the scenery, the music and was not crowded or noisy. read more

Huge disappointment. Ordered take out. 5 different dishes and NONE were good. Mushroom soup is decent. Wondering if there was a change in the kitchen. East Falls needs a go to spot. read more

I met a colleague here for lunch as a last minute selection because we had a change of plans. I was not disappointed at all in this quick lunch experience. Upon entering, the vibe gave a go to lunch spot for folks working or living close by, so I appreciate the energy of the place. I wasn't sure what to order so I went with the tacos. They were good but the extra sweet plantains made me a happy eater as that's one of my favorite foods. Reasonable priced and the food flowed quickly to allow us to be in and out. read more

This is long overdue. The sandwich I had here may not look like much but it was warm and cheesy and so delicious with the addition of the avocado. Only saving a star due to the price and the server wasn't the easiest to get ahold of. The restaurant itself is filled with plants, and would be a terrific place for a lunch date or meeting. Or a simple brunch. read more

We thoroughly enjoy Le Bus. On our May 21 visit, everything was great -- the crispy wings, vegetarian chili, fettuccine with pesto and Mt. Airy burger. The Le Reine Rouge Sangria is one of the greatest cocktails ever! YUMMY! Prices very reasonable. Music a little too loud. Sometimes hard to find parking nearby, but that is not the restaurant's fault, of course. We like the relaxed vibe. Our server, Melina, was delightful, very pleasant. Highly recommended for casual dining. read more

I've been to LeBus for both brunch and dinner. I have not been disappointed. There's usually a wait on the weekends, so I would suggest a reservation. The service is good, waiters are friendly, and food is delicious. I like the ambiance inside, but I do not suggest a table outside. The corner of Midvale and Ridge is a very busy intersection, so there is a lot of street noise. I had a hard time deciding on what to have for brunch and tried the French toast. The French toast was good, but the berry compote was what really topped it off nicely. My guest got the French toast with apple compote. They said it was good, but would order the berry compote next time. Alcoholic beverages are moderately priced as well as the food. It's also great if you want to pick up freshly made bread and treats. read more

Good food and will visit this place if I'm in this area but nothing amazing about it. Also it forgot to give my vegan friend her veggies side until she finished her main AND the veggies might be dipped in butter.... read more

My kids and I love this place for brunch on the weekend. I have not branched out from the frittatas because they're delicious! The kids order all the sweet stuff (e.g pancakes, chocolate croissant, French toast) and they usually clear their plates. We usually have the same waitress every time. I wish I could remember her name because she is a shining star! She remembers our orders and is very sweet and attentive. I wasn't expecting LeBus to be as big as it is inside. Feels spacious and never overly crowded. read more

I took my two college aged granddaughters for brunch! The service was perfect. The food beyond perfect! We all liked our brunch! Will go back. Soon, I hope read more

I ended up wandering into LeBus after getting gas at a random stop in the East Falls, suburb of Philadelphia. It had a great vibe but I needed to take my order to go . The food menu looked good and the place had the most amazing fresh bread smell I ever encountered at a sandwich shop. Apparently in addition to delicious fresh made sandwiches they also have a bunch of nice looking pastries breads and sweets. But I did not try any on this visit. I did order a turkey avocado sandwich and a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Little side salads on each. Seemed pretty average and a pretty safe bet. My travel partner and I each split one of the sandwiches so we could each have some variety with our lunch, I was amazed at how good the sandwiches were... I'm not sure I ever had a sandwich taste so good! Both were made with delicious fresh bread and were a great size and absolutely delicious. I later learned that this sandwich shop Got consistently great reviews from the area and was well loved by everybody and apparently quite crowded the majority of the time luckily on that afternoon I walked right in and out with my order in 15 minutes. Looking forward to stopping at that sandwich shop again. read more

Came into Le Bus with relatively low expectations as we stopped while passing through East Falls for dinner, but came away huge believers with every intention to return. The food was great. Loved the roast Turkey sandwich and the sweet potato fries were awesome. The bread they bring out beforehand was also way better than it needed to be. The atmosphere both inside and outside is really impressive. Love the lights, flowers, tile tables, all of it. Servers were nice and produced a cool low key vibe. Will make a point to come back! read more

This would be five stars based on the salmon alone. They could've treated me like total Sh!t. It wouldn't matter. The salmon was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside. It was sat on top of lettuce with potatoes, asparagus, tomatoes, avocado, onion and hard boiled egg. It was so good! I couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. On top of that the weather was perfect to sit outside today and drink an iced coffee. Also an improvement since COVID - the touch less paying is really perfect. Once you get the receipt you can scan it and pay when you are ready. If your in a rush you don't need to wait until you get your card back. If you aren't the wait staff doesn't have to keep checking on you. I personally love it. I think it makes it feel more relaxed. It's off because the one thing I've loved most about traveling Europe was the relaxing feel when you went out to eat. I feel like we are getting closer to having experience that we can enjoy and last a little longer. read more

Beautiful interior with lots of plants. I haven't sat down for a meal in quite a while, but I recall that the food was really good. I'm a huge fan of their bread and it does not disappoint. Everything from their loaves of bread to their croissants are delicious. read more

LeBus is a special place. Of course there is delicious bread. And...the mussels are magnificent - pecan crusted grouper is perfectly cooked and served with a spring vegetable risotto and broccolini. Don't forget the great sandwiches, burgers, fries and onion rings! The hummus platter with roasted vegetables was yummy. Yes- we have tried them all. Service is friendly and attentive. The clientele is diverse. Everyone feels welcome there. The ambiance is enhanced by lovely plants and (sometimes) live music. We go to LeBus because they take care of people. read more

Ambiance is really nice, there are a lot of plants everywhere, a little bakery at the front. But bring a book or some form of entertainment because the wait for everything was really long. Came for a late lunch (meaning it wasn't busy anymore) and the total time we waiting in between things were extremely long. Took about 10 mins for us to get seated, but once we were seated, we had to flag our waitress down to order. We ordered the french dip cheesesteak, a burger and 1 side of fries. It took a really long time for the food, which considering what we ordered, is unexpected. Took a REALLY long time to get our food, like I read a book and played tetris and my partner started studying. Food was good, but not good enough to justify the wait. The cheesesteak was dry and could have been seasoned more; it definitely needed the au jus. Waited a while for a server to come by so we could flag them for a to go box, but for some reason all the servers except for the one at the bar were MIA for about 10-15 minutes so we had to get up to ask for a box. After that, it took about another 15-20 minutes to get our check. read more

Went to LeBus in East Falls for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the burger and my fiancé gave the shrimp & grits a try. The burger was good, I took some of the cheese off because It was a bit overwhelming to me. The lettuce came to me soggy from the burger grease, which was off putting to me as well. The Honey Chipotle Shrimp & Grits was great! My fiancé enjoyed the faint sweetness and smokiness of the dish. I had a taste and I thought it was pretty good take on the traditionally Cajun dish I'd definitely come back to try something else on the menu There is an extensive selection of artisan breads to purchase too (I'll review that at a different time). read more

no idea why this place has a 3.6 rating, the salmon panini was amazing with the caesar salad, i need to come back for the french dip brisket sandwich. the servers were sweet, and i love the plants in the restaurant so much! the greenery is very soothing, 100/10 restaurant read more

Horrible! Restaurant was empty- that should have been a clue on a Friday night. My salad was nothing more than a bowl full of greens and some burnt pieces of chicken. There could not been more than a tablespoon of asparagus, corn & tiny chopped red pepper? Some Gorgonzola cheese. The beet salad's chicken was dry. Fries were awful. Salmon burger was tasteless. Didn't hang around to check out the desserts. read more

I pass by LeBus every day on my way to work and have always wanted to give it a try. It's in a great location just on the corner of Ridge and Midvale. Came by on early Saturday afternoon and happy to find they were doing brunch. The place is an inviting, cozy bistro-style space with a pretty spacious dining area and bar. Lots of plants everywhere! We were seated quickly at a 2-top by the window. Our server came over quickly and dropped off some bread for the table, which was delicious. Eggs Benedict was tasty, but if you want to add any meat to it, it will cost you a few bucks extra. Canadian bacon was not an option so I added ham for 3 bucks. My husband had the Curry Chicken Salad sandwich, which was fantastic and had lots of flavor, but the bread was super over-toasted. Only semi-complaint was that the service was pretty slow and they seemed to be under-staffed. But our server was very nice. On our way out we noticed they sell fresh bread loaves to-go and a few desserts/pastries. We will certainly be back. Prices were pretty reasonable, too! read more

I didn't feel very good after eating the fish tacos. The jambalaya was just okay, not great. Ambiance is nice but the food was lacking.

I am highly disappointed in this take out order. Normally, I dine in with this establishment but decided to do a take out for the family. $24!?? Cesar salad!?!? I order a Cesar salad with shrimp and this is what i received. 4 pieces of shrimp, a hand full of ice burg lettuce, and one side of Cesar's dressing. (With a %20 tip I have added in) This is unacceptable. In addition to the small salad, turkey burger that was on the order was missing fries. Please do not order a salads to go and check your bags for additional items missing. read more

FANTASTIC FOOD, great service, pleasant unobtrusive atmosphere, easy access. We were not hurried, nor irritated by wait staff. And if you like the (fab) bread that comes with your sandwich, or as an amuse guèle, WOW you can BUY the bread!! Many types., My only comment is that the chair seats are HARD if you are there for more than quick meal (but a quick meal would be silly there) read more

Perfect spot for our family of 5 for brunch. Great range of options. Loved the eclectic paintings and plants. Service was friendly!

We have been ordering take out and eating in at LeBus basically since they opened. We've tried a lot on the menu. -Jambalaya - awesome -Pasta with pesto sauce - we opt for the cream and add chicken- amazing -Beet salad - highly recommend -Quinoa bowl - while it's so yummy, I wish it wasn't as pricey (with chicken added) as it is - but that being said we still order it - so go figure -Stir fry - just ok -Salmon - tasty Burgers: -East Falls -Germantown -Mt. Airy .... every single one of these burgers are very tasty (have tried the veggie burger but it's just not my jam ever, regardless of place?) -Breakfast sandwiches - won't disappoint Whether ordering on the phone and picking up or sitting in the restaurant - the servers are cordial and the service is friendly. There's also a bar which has a fairly decent beer/wine selection. If you eat in the restaurant you will also be able to experience the LeBus bread and gosh - I love love love their bread. I personally like the raisin walnut bread but really any of their breads is fabulous. read more

We arrived at 5:00 PM and restaurant was empty but we were told we had to sit at the bar. When we left there so many empty tables and we said we wouldn't be long. Frustrating. And the bartenders didn't know how to make the drink i ordered. They also didn't know which beers they had on tap. Disappointing. Food was pretty good. read more

Our table of 4 arrived around 1:30pm on a Saturday. It wasn't busy and we were seated right away. Maybe that should have been our first sign that this wasn't going to be a great experience. One guy came up and said he's be taking care of us and would be right back. We wait about 10 minutes then another asks if we'd been helped. We only had water at that point so he said he'd take over. We ordered drinks. It took over 15 minutes for us to get our drinks which we saw sitting on the bar for over 10 minutes. The one drink was forgot about and I even heard him tell the bartender that he forgot to put it in the system. That drink sat for over 10 minutes at the bar until we finally walked over and got it ourselves. Now the food.. it was just okay. We had the omelet, French toast, curry chicken salad, onion rings, and kids pizza between us all. The best food may have been the onion rings which were good because of the thin breading. Everything else was just meh, nothing special. The Bloody Mary tasted like they poured olive juice in it. The lemonade tasted like it was just straight up lemon juice mixed with a little water, it was so sour. We had to get up and go around to some of the open tables to find ketchup. Each table had a bottle but all were almost empty. read more

Such a cute restaurant, pleasant service! My best friend suggested this place and she called ahead to see if they were open for outdoor dining, thankfully they had space for us. We were seated shortly and a server with mask and gloves was prompt with the menus and gave us a run down of the menu. They were kinda slowly reopening and didn't have too many cocktails on the menu, however they did have margaritas, wines and beer. We chose to get a bottle of Cab. Unfortunately they didn't have a bottle so they offered us a bottle of merlot at have the price. We also ordered the crispy wings and flatbread, so so delicious and freshly made. Think farm to table sort of food! We got a variety of entrees and I did try a few bites of the Thai Salad and the salmon. This is definitely worth a detour in beautiful East fall read more

Friends and I stumbled across this restaurant on the way to the Fillmore. It was 5 pm on a Friday night. We were seated right away, and our waiter took our drink order. Two of us ordered a Rusty Bus and one ordered an orange cosmo. They were very good with heavy pours. We ordered our food and and was served timely. The food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered a bowl of vegetarian chili and a small green salad. I combined them, for a delicious combination. We were in and out in about an hour, but chatted for a while. The decor was fabulous. We felt we were in a friends home eating on their veranda. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you! read more

LeBus East Falls - Green salad & vegetarian chili. - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place deserves so much love, c'mon Yelp?! The quality and freshness of every item cannot be beat. The bread variety for starters was already off to a good start--some with nuts etc., fresh, warm. Seafood chowder was hearty and contained generous portions of salmon, clams, shrimp. The burger made me cry with every bite--FRESH BEEF, extremely soft to bite into, flavored well, beyond juicy. The bun was quality (major key) and accoutrements paired nicely--Mt. Airy, so cheesy and garlicky with roasted red peppers. Truly blown away. Highly recommend the horseradish slaw as a side--a perfect, creamy blend of shredded kale (not even into that) and other veggies. Very tasty! The interior here is ADORABLE. A Pinterest lovers dream. A secret garden of sorts. The staff was very friendly and they have live jazz during dinner time. Great local beer selection on tap. Excited to return here next time I'm in the area. read more
