Yes to everything Lisa's! I'll start with their only drawbacks - cash only and its only open seasonally. Seriously, those are the only "downsides" and who can blame them for wanting to get out of the cold of Philadelphia in winter?!? Lisa's is an amazing breakfast spot with tons of options. Think of any meats you'd want and get it on a long roll cooked exactly how it should be. These sandwiches are huge, so keep that in mind. I know I don't mind have something extra to wrap up and bring home for later. Others have mentioned the Baconator, which I'll second (third or fourth). I also love their scrapple egg sandwich. Of course, if you aren't sure what you want, just ask and they will help you find the right sandwich for you. I believe everything can be customized as well. Limited seating is available, but this place is more of a take out joint imo. Enjoy! read more

I love this spot so much. The owners are nice, the food is good and well priced. I think their schedule isn't super fixed and they open whenever they want. It's also cash only, but I find myself googling whether they're open every so often because I crave it. read more

Amazing little hole in the wall. Great food and amazing people. Try the Baconator, or scrapple , can't miss.

I absolutely love this place. I've been here with my fianceé many times and we usually order to take out. The folks who run the place are so nice. Their breakfast sandwiches are to DIE for. My favorite sandwich is the hottie though the other breakfast sandwiches are also incredibly delicious. I'm not sure there's anywhere else in Philly that would beat this place when it comes to the pure art of making a breakfast sandwich. One of my favorite things to do on a weekend morning is to get a breakfast sandwich from Lisa's. The deliciousness of these sandwiches makes my entire weekend. read more

Heads Up: This business is Cash Only The owners of Lisa's Kitchen are friendly and tell good stories, for the 10 minutes I was there they managed to make me laugh and keep good conversation. I passed by this place one morning to try it out. I believe I got the Big Country and it definitely held up to its name. Overall, the food and service was good. This is the perfect breakfast for post hangover or for breakfast comfort food. read more

Simple, classic, and fairly priced. Always a great experience. I really like the steak, egg, and cheese on a long roll read more

Lisa's Kitchen - Menu Nov 2023 - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My favorite breakfast sandwich in the whole world. Cash only, call ahead because there's not too much room inside to wait around.

Love this place! I've been here with my fiancé like 10 times. The breakfast sandwiches are the best. They are simple but delicious and super filling. The best treat for a weekend breakfast. the owners are the ones making and prepping the food and they are very nice. The decor is interesting, lots of fishing decor but you're there for the amazing food, not the decor. Recommend for a great and tasty breakfast sandwich that is reasonably priced. Also helps with hangovers! read more

No nonsense cash only breakfast joint with tasty sandwiches. I ordered the ham egg and cheese topped with hash browns on a long roll. I think its called the Farm Hand. The bread was soft and chewy. It did its job of highlighting the sandwich contents well. Inside lay a generous helping of fresh fried eggs, crispy hash browns, thick slices of country ham, and salty American cheese. This was a massive and delicious sandwich with lots of salt, fat, and flavor. Great for a Saturday breakfast. read more

Lisa's Kitchen - Farm Hand Breakfast Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I never understood the appeal. When I moved back to Philly, I used to pass this place on the way to my grandparent's home. I have never been a fan of the 'traditional American breakfast'-as in I find French toast dreadful, runny egg yolks (or any egg dish) disgusting, pancakes boring and omelets a waste of time and calories. In light of that, sitting in a tiny, parlor sized eatery while an unpleasant woman at the grill tersely put together bargain priced sandwiches full of things that repulsed me was not my idea of a stellar way to start a morning. On the rare occasions I stopped in, it was to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese, a cup of tea and to pick up 2 take out bagels for my grandparents. There was nothing ever wrong with the bagels, but a lot wrong with the verbal abuse the male owner would 'humorously' heap on his father in law, who always seemed to be in attendance there as a meek diner. Perhaps one really had to be a serious and chronically hungover aficianado of greasy, runny, overstuffed, carb loaded junk food breakfast sandwiches to give Lisa's Kitchen a five star rating. Clearly I was never part of their target audience. read more

Went for breakfast, which is what you will be going there for as well cause of their hours. In short I loved the place. Run by two people who enjoy what they do and are proud of the place. I got the varsity (long roll). Ordered half to eat there and half to go home. The bread/meat/egg/cheese ratios are SPOT ON. I know the picture makes it look like it might be bread heavy but it works. The varsity is a big sandwich so plan accordingly. It's a solid breakfast sandwich spot. I felt good leaving Lisa's kitchen. All sandwiches come with egg, cheese, and that wonderful hash brown. You pretty much play around with the meat choices. I got the scrapple since I am new to Philadelphia. I liked it. I am not sure if everyone will. It's like meat loaf made with pork. The vibes are cool, plus it's one of those places that has sassy quotes on their wall and I am a sucker for those kind of places. read more

This place is a mom and pop place where you truly wish the owners were your parents. The sandwiches are ridiculously good, made fresh in front of you, and all come with a hash brown in your PEC? Phenomenal. The bread is great too and the prices are on point. What more could you ask for? I'm trying to become a regular because it is thaaat good, and the vibes in there were amazing. The owners know everybody who walks in, and they're super friendly and warm. Please visit this place, you won't regret it. Also FYI they're cash only! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches in a tiny shop. If you're looking for a meal on a roll at a reasonable price, check this place out. One recommendation is call in your order. First, there's not much room to wait. Second, they go until closing or until they're out of rolls, so you know you'll get your food. read more

Lisa's Kitchen - Varsity corned beef hash, eggs, cheese, and hashbrowns on a roll. (forget the official name) - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Old school cash only breakfast place that's open on the weekends but closed Monday early in the wee. This mom and pop shop serves mega sized breakfast sandwiches with a side of conversation. Large enough for two people the baconator comes with a plethora of bacon, several fried eggs and a couple hash browns on a long roll. read more

The food is great! Hot a sandwich with enough meat on it to make another and it taste great!!

All of these reviews are pretty spot on. It's a cash only, no frills, delicious breakfast place. Super small so only a few people can fit inside so know what you're going to order. Most people in there are regulars. They either do a kaiser or long roll but I'd opt for large since it's a much better bang for your buck. Portion size is great for an average of 5.50 for a large sandwich. A friend and I split one turkey baconator. Two hash browns on them too which was so tasty. Plenty of hot sauce and condiments if that's your style too. Also have OJ, chocolate milk, coffee, etc. read more

It's Sunday morning, you just woke up and you're sooooooo hungry but you don't have time or want to pay for expensive brunch. Well good news for you! Lisas kitchen is the perfect quick breakfast spot! So many options (they even have turkey bacon) and lisa and her husband keep prices low so your huge bagel sandwich doesn't break the bank. My boyfriend and I finally made it here this weekend and we're so happy to support this yummy neighborhood spot! read more

Stopped here after a nearby yoga class. The smell of bacon greets you as enter the shop. The owners (a husband and wife) greet you. She mans the grill while he jots down your order. I got a breakfast platter: the hash brown was crispy without excess oil, the eggs were exactly as ordered, bacon thick and perfectly crunchy and the coffee was fresh and hot. I will definitely stop by again if I find myself in this area. Ps street parking was readily available. Bring cash as it's the only form of payment they accept. read more

Lisa's Kitchen - Breakfast platter with rye toast. - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Love this place. No bullshit- I'd eaten here while seeking out scrapple on a trip to philly and when I decided to move here, proximity to Lisa's was a factor. It's a simple, classic product. Perfect for a hangover or after a morning run out on the wissahickon. I tend to go either Big Country or Big Scrapple (add hot peppers to any sandwich), but would also say you shouldn't sleep on the Hottie. All sandwiches are a robust 2ish pounds and should probably be eaten sparingly. Luckily the folks at Lisa's make sure you can't over-indulge by closing the restaurant for half the year ‍. Thing to consider- this is a grab and go spot. recommend calling your order in. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem ! I've driven past this lil place in the tuck , sooooo many times and never noticed it until I went on maps in my phone and searched breakfast & brunch so glad I did. Called in my order and the guy was so nice . Enormous Sandwiches for the money , it was excellent keep up the great job. I'm a very picky person so this a great find for me will definitely tell friends and return again soon read more

If you have yet to try one of Lisa's breakfast sandwiches, shame on you. Cash only. Call ahead or drop in to place your order, and chat with the wonderful owners as they whip up your breakfast right in front of you. There are a few seats if you decide to dine in. Food is cheap, comes in two sizes, the baby and regular versions, and is OUT OF THIS WORLD read more

The Little Country was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had (sausage, egg, cheese AND a hash brown on a Kaiser roll). Already can't wait for the next one. read more

Lisa's kitchen has the best breakfast sandwiches around! The Baconator is wonderful. Everything is always cooked to order, hot & fresh! The only downfall for Lisa's is that they close for the spring & summer.. see you in the fall! Make sure to call your order in beforehand so your not waiting...this place is popular! read more

My favorite breakfast place in Philly! The shop owners are very friendly, prices are cheap and service is quick. I've tried the Baconator, Old Country (sausage) and they were both amazing. They put two crispy hash browns in every sandwich and the meat and eggs always taste fresh. The buns they use are also really good! read more

Upon calling Lisa's and placing my take-out order, I was initially pretty unhappy with the phone conversation and ready to place a negative review. However, this changed when we went inside to pick up our order. When I first called, the woman on the phone (who I assume was Lisa), was very short, did not allow me to finish my order, and seemed to rush me on the phone. I was left with a negative feeling after the conversation. When we came to pick up the orders, the people inside were very friendly, and the woman cooking started up a conversation with us, telling us about the cinnamon rolls and how much her friends loved them. The food was ready for us to grab when we walked in, and they managed to talk us into buying two cinnamon rolls as well. ***Important to note: They do not take cards! This was news to me, but luckily my partner had some cash on him. I did not see an ATM anywhere inside or nearby. The sandwiches were pretty greasy, but they tasted great and were exactly what we were looking for after a night out. I asked for two orders of hashbrowns with ketchup, but unfortunately only received one, with no ketchup. Maybe they didn't have ketchup to take home, but I wouldn't have known this based on the short conversation I had when placing my order. The cinnamon rolls were delicious, and probably the best part of the whole experience. Overall, the food was great and I enjoyed the friendly service when we came to pick up our orders. Took a couple stars off because of the lack of service on the phone and lack of an ATM, but I would come back, even if just for the cinnamon rolls. read more

This is the ultimate breakfast sandwich shop! Incredible low price for a big sandwich, a great start to your day if you've just been for a long run, have a long day of work ahead, or are hungover. Egg, cheese, protein, and a hashbrown all on a sub or a kaiser for about $4-$6? What could be better! Quality service, the owners are great and work really hard to make you happy. My favorite place to get breakfast in the neighborhood. The only things I will warn you of: there's no real seating area, if it's busy on a saturday morning you aren't going to want to stick around and eat there, it's very limited counter space. Also, call ahead! You only need ten minutes or so but still a good idea. read more

This place is long overdue for a review. Although my check-in record says I've only been here twice, I've visited Lisa's Kitchen at least a dozen times. I love the breakfast food here--it's perfect for an on-the-go meal... Or a big hangover. My favorite thing to order is the Country Sandwich (Big or Little, depends on my appetite). The heart-stopping combo of egg, cheese, sausage, hash browns, and roll hits the spot every time. Plus, the price point is great. I can order a big breakfast for myself for under $5. They close between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and they don't cook on Mondays and Tuesday's. Otherwise, you can have breakfast to your heart's content! read more

It is what it is - Lisa's Kitchen makes damn good breakfast sandwiches really fast. Call as you are leaving and once you have parked they will be ready. Great rolls, decent quality ingredients, perhaps not the cleanest but clean enough for what you are getting. Prices are very reasonable, portions are large, and the quality of the finished product likely exactly what you want on a hungover Sunday morning. I'd recommend the Baconator or the Lil' Scrapper... read more

Definitely can't tell how good it is when you walk past. But delicious place ran by a very nice couple. Their sandwiches are great and a cure to any hangover! read more

If you live in the Yunk, (Manayunk) then this is a great find especially if you had too much fun the night before. Killer breakfast sandwiches with the hash browns on the sandwich on a good Italian roll. Very cheap. Funny service from the couple who own it. Like 10 seats top. So you may have a wait on the weekends. They are closed a lot. So call to make sure they are open. Maybe the best hangover restaurant in the city. Is that a category? If not it should be. read more

This place is so dankkkkk. Yummy yummy hash brown in Sammy. Lisa is a saint herself and I wish she was my mom

Okay so this is a not a review solely based on my opinion, it's definitely my based more on my significant other's love of the place. Bob and Lisa are good people, always call ahead it makes everyone's life easier. read more

OH MY GOD! This place is the perfect restaurant. My pup loves visiting, the breakfast sandwiches are heaven - crispy hash browns, freshly cooked bacon, soft rolls. Having such friendly and warm service is just the icing on the cake. read more

Best breakfast sandwich in all the land. I LOVE this grab and go breakfast spot, a must visit while in Manayunk.

Don't get me wrong... The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I love them and I crave them every weekend, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. HOWEVER, I feel that on top of making good food, you should also treat your customers with respect. Every single time my husband calls in our order, he is treated with complete rudeness. He is a very kind and polite person, so I promise you it is not deserved and it makes no sense. She answers the phone and takes your order as if you're somehow inconveniencing her. No people skills whatsoever. Never any shred of kindness or happiness... Just a completely miserable person. We can't be the only ones who experience this. As much as we love the food, we've decided we can no longer support this business. It's a shame because we live literally one block away and we love the food, but we no longer feel like paying someone to be mean to us every weekend for simply ordering food from them. read more

This place is a must!! Oh. My. God. There aren't even words to describe how amazing this place is. Every single thing they have is out of this world good. Customer service is top notch. They're very friendly, even at the crack of dawn. Portion size is HUGE! My husband got the Big (or Varsity) Country and it was the first time I have seen that he couldn't finish his food. It was that much! For the money, you absolutely can't beat it. Plan to order to-go because seating is ultra limited and if you have a small stomach, stick to the JV menu. That is, unless you want leftovers (and you will)! read more

These breakfast sandwiches are absolutely delicious especially after a party night! Definitely try the specials sandwiches with the hash browns it's so tasty! You'll be VERY full though so beware! read more

Lisa and Roger are great- and long time Roxborough locals. They have the best Philly style egg sandwich on a long role in the area. The store front is small with a few benches in the window for eating in- but we usually order to go. They open super early through fall/spring, but generally close for the summer. read more

Amazing breakfast at a great price! Had the baby baconator. $4 and I was totally full. The full baconator at $5.50 was huge. Nice married couple who run it. A great business. Cash only! read more
