Loaded seafood fries.
Jenaya P.

Delicious is definitely and understatement when describing how good this food was!! Everything was fantabulous. I'm so glad I checked this place out. Pick up service was great. I ordered online and decided to pay at the store. My food was ready and was still hot after pick up. I ordered the pineapple pancakes and loaded seafood fries. I must say the pancakes were the star of the show!. I'm normally iffy about ordering pancakes cause the last thing I need is to waste calories on bland pancakes however that was not the case with these scrumptious delights! They had carmelized pineapples, cherries and the pancake itself was buttery and crunchy on the edges. It was the best pancakes I've ever had! They tasted more like a cake. The loaded seafood fries were crispy with real crabmeat and a nice cheese sauce! Overall everything was good, food was kinda pricey but its definitely worth it cause you get good quality for your dollar!

Hot Beef Sausage with eggs and Short Stack French Toast...this hit the spot!! I love in the south and don't get hot beef sausage there

The food was great! I am a huge foodie that enjoys finding hidden gems in the city I am visiting. The service was great and very friendly. This is truly a hidden gem and I will visit again. It's a very intimate setting.

Raw soggy burger.
Miss D.

Awful. I order a turkey burger and asked for it to come without bacon and also ordered sweet fries. They sent me a wet burger without the bun (?) with regular fries not the sweet potato ones I paid extra for. Under the burger and fries was pretty disgusting with some pink runny water, my first attempt to even eat I had a bloody splash water on the table, I kept trying to call the restaurant and the restaurant kept picking up and dropping the line right after, they did it several times until they finally took the off the hook, so it went straight to a voice mail that had no space for new messages. Good lucky trying to reach them and having food poisoning, the food went straight to the trash with the soggy fries.

I had a craving for shrimp and grits, so I typed "shrimp and grits" into Yelp. To my surprise, Yelp revealed several restaurants, one was Rhythm and Brunch. I decided to take the 15 min ride to check out this place. I arrived and found a few parking spots directly across the street. I was shocked that I found parking because the eatery is in neighborhood on a busy street. I parked and entered the restaurant. There were plenty of seats available. I placed my order, shrimp and grits with a side of fish (for an extra $5) at the counter. I had a chance to check out a Fresh Prince rerun while I waited for my food. My order arrived timely. I don't feel that I waited too long nor did I feel like the wait wasn't long enough for the food to be freshly prepared. My shrimp and grits were fantastic!! I found the dish to be full of flavor (buttery and savory). I would have liked more than 3 shrimps though. Now, my side of fish (whiting) was good. However, I wished the fish fillets were larger. I felt like they were a little tiny for my liking. I was able to eat all 3 pieces of fish and I usually never get past the first whiting fillet at other restaurants (or even at home). I plan to return to check out the upside down pineapple pancakes. I'll be sure to clear out extra room in my stomach to fit all of the food I order.

The view from my seat before the lunch crowd. Clean and friendly.

Glad to finally have been able to hit this place up. Parking was found on Elmwood, across from the location. Be mindful of the signage/where you park, the Parking Authority was hanging out ticketing. The inside was clean, with a couple of TV's and nicely placed art on the walls. For a lunch break it was half full of patrons mostly for takeout. The bathroom was stocked and also clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu. Their first recommendation was the fish and grits with shrimp as an add on so I went with that. The portion size is big so bring an appetite, or a friend with you. The grits were delicious, a lot of people frown on poor grits but these had character, they were thick, buttery, creamy, had corn flavor and were a little cheesy, the sautéed fish on top was flaky, seasoned with some peppery kick which was a welcoming addition. The flavors were balanced so well and the addition of the shrimp was worth it. The shrimp were cooked and seasoned very well. The menu had a lot of great choices, but I went with a solid recommendation this visit. I'll return because other menu items were calling my name! I snagged some funnel cake fries and monkey bread to share with my office staff and they did not disappoint. The funnel cake fries were crisp, spot on and addicting, the monkey bread had fresh banana and cinnamon flavors if that's your thing and was delicious as well. This place is a must try!

This little place by far have the best grits I have ever had and the presentation was very nice! They dedicated 1 full page on their menu to grits. So you can have basically whatever type of grits you can think of. I decided to go with Party grits. Which includedshrimp, salmon, lump carb and an extra piece of fried Frisch on the side. They taste was absolutely delightful. E*ver*y*thing was seasoned great. The waitress was polite. Service a little slow but it was worth the wait. So if your not in a rush, definitely check this place out. Follow IG @toyatastes

Grits
Nicole B.

This place was dope! The music was right! I see why they call it rhythm and brunch. This is also a black owned establishment, so i wanted to support just because of that. The service was a little slow to start. When we walked in it was packed. We grab 1 of 2 tables they had left, and since it was packed the wait time was a little slow. Which wasn't bad because the music definitely kept you singing your life away lol. When the waitress came to us, she was the sweetest person. She had lots of patience, she answered all of our questions, gave suggestions and made us feel welcome most of all. That's always a plus. The food: We started With the funnel cake fries, and omg!! Heaven! They were hot, crispy, and taste better than all the funnel cakes I've had last summer lol. It was definitely worth the extra calories lol. For our meals, i ordered the sweet taboo (chicken and waffles, pancakes, or biscuits. I chose to sub waffles for their Pineapple Upside pancakes and i was not disappointed! Those pineapple upside down pancakes were the reason i came to this restaurant (thanks fellow yelpers). TO DIE FOR!!! It came with homemade fried chicken tenders which you could tell that it was cut up fresh fried. The chicken was amazing! It tasted like something out of my own kitchen. It was seasoned perfectly! We also ordered the special banana pudding pancakes with a side of cheese eggs and cheese grits. All were great. My cousin didn't like the grits all that much but they were okay to me. All in all, dope spot. I would go Back to try other things on the menu when i return to philly. See pics below.

Spinach and seafood (egg white) omelette with potatoes
Nyja F.

I was excited to try this restaurant - first because the reviews are pretty darn good and second because the name is so cool. Perhaps I was a bit extreme having the expectation that I hoped to leave thinking, "I can't wait to return"... When I arrived I looked around because I was not sure who the staff were. I made eye contact with a woman and said "hi" - I had to make the assumption she was working since she did not acknowledge me until I said something to her; I asked if I should seat myself and she replied "yes". As I looked for a table, the waitress handed me a menu and then I sat down and waited for my friend. Realizing that I only had one menu, I searched for another for my friend. Once my friend arrived the waitress returned to take our order - her energy was low and not enthusiastic but we stayed, again, because of the great reviews. My food came out first but I was never given any utensils so we called for the waitress to bring some and she did, 2 sets of utensils rolled in the same napkin together - odd, right? Anyhow, my friend's food came out about a minute or so later and we ate... My friend ordered fish and grits and did not like her food at all; I ordered an egg white spinach and seafood omelette and thought it was good. While we ate the waitress didn't come back to check on us until I was basically done eating (my friend took a few bites and didn't finish her food) - by the way, the check in was, "would you like a box", not what I would've expected like, "how is everything"... Ultimately, while MY food was good, the customer service was subpar, which was disappointing because customer service is a big part of dining out. The icing was really put on the cake when it was time to pay for our food; first, we had to walk up to the counter to get our bill, then when we told the waitress that the change from our bill was for her, her reply was "oh"... I know... There's a first time for everything, right? The only reply I've ever heard prior to today when tipping someone is "thank you"... I will say the Chef and another woman who was sitting behind the counter had more pleasant demeanors, just not our server :-( Tip to the owner: Customer service is paramount - have staff check in with patrons about their dining experience and get all staff customer service training so that they know how to greet AND interact with patrons during their experience... The goal should be for patrons to return, right?

Sweetest Taboo
Natasha M.

Thanks to Yelp, I found this fantastic location. My friends arrived mid-morning from the airport and wanted something local and fulfilling and this checked off all boxes. We were greeted right away and were seated and served water promptly. We were certainly entertained by the menu names, but some decided to play it safe. Well, I was incredibly impressed with the Sweet Taboo French toast and sausage. My friends enjoyed their omelets as well. Those that kept to some traditional menu items like eggs & toast still were able to appreciate the food and service. I am glad once again that this place turned up on my list. Definitely would recommend.

Loaded Cheesy Fries
Sydney B.

I look forward to coming back to eat at Rhythm and Brunch. I am relishing in this dining experience. I learned about the Rhythm and Brunch via Instagram. During my Saturday night visit, I expected to have a brunch or breakfast menu item. However, this Saturday night the menu did not have any brunch entrees. This night, the special menu was Major Flavor by Chef Quannie Way. I choose the creamy garlic + herb-grilled salmon as an entree with a side of herb fried rice and mac n' cheese. Each entree comes with two sides. Initially, I wanted sweet potatoes as a side but - they were sold out. My meal was delicious; the salmon was cooked to perfection. I cannot wait to have the creamy garlic + herb-grilled salmon again. Additionally, I choose to have loaded fries was an appetizer. The loaded fries are amazing. These decadent fries were topped with cheese, grilled onion and pepper, and sliced jalapeno peppers. Undeniably, these cheese fries are a top contender for best cheese fries in the city. I am completely enthralled by this dining experience at Rhythm and Brunch. The food was delicious and left a lasting impression. I love the board game theme tables. The entree was reasonably priced compared to the quality and portion size. I would be more than willing to have the same meal at a higher price point because it is undoubtedly worth it. I am looking forward to returning to Brunch and Rhythm to hopefully make my way through the menu.

I wish this was around when I was living in the area. It was a cute place to come in and grab breakfast with my family. I had the waffle that was grilled in batter and sprinkled with powder sugar. I also had a side of chicken sausage and eggs. I have to say, many spots get eggs wrong and they are hard and over scrambled, but these were not only soft but HOT eggs. The waffles were not as hot, and i could tell they probably cooked them first, but I am willing to forgive that since they were still tasty. I will definitely be back, since I'm in the neighborhood a lot.

Party grits
Leah S.

Visited this spot today with a few friends. Our goal was to support a place we've never been to. I can't say enough great things about this place. Food: I ordered the Sweetest Taboo - Cap'n Crunch coated juicy, fried chicken tenders with French toast and a side of scrambled eggs. There wasn't a crumb left on my plate. One of my friends ordered the Route 36 Omelette - egg white omelette stuffed with crab meat, shrimp, tomatoes and pepper jack cheese with a side of home fries. TO DIE FOR! As a table, we split the Party Grits - creamy Grits loaded with crab, salmon, and shrimp and a side of fried fish. There was not a grain of Grits left. The food was absolutely outstanding. Atmosphere: very chill. Some canvas art on the walls and a fire playlist of 90's-early 2000's R&B. The tables have old board games inside of them. Super cool vibe. Service: Maxine was our service and she was fantastic. Very attentive, couldn't ask for more. I will definitely be back to this place. Highly recommended

Table top Trivial Pursuit
Naomi S.

This place has great food with serious potential. I met a colleague for a lunch meeting. There are plenty of outlets which was great for us. The menu is extensive and I had a hard time deciding until I decided that I would just have to come back to try other dishes. So this trip I settled on the chicken and waffles aka Sweetest Taboo and I got potatoes instead of eggs. My colleague ordered the same except she had lemon pepper wings. We both enjoyed our wings. Her wings looked like regular wings but she said that they had great lemon pepper flavor. The waffles were good for me but too sweet for her. I would suggest trying them before adding the syrup. They taste life funnel cake. I also had the brunch punch which I sucked down to wash down the sweet waffles. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

Waffles are okay but they're more doughy than fluffy. Very dense, which I found hard to enjoy. I prefer fluffy and light waffles.

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

It really embodies the Parisian vibe and makes you feel like you are not in Philadelphia. Onto the food! The bread basket and butter are always things I look forward to. The cranberry nut bread is amazing and it's always a great way to start a meal here so I love that they bring this to you. My absolute favorite thing to order that I cannot go without is the Warm Shrimp Salad. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and paired with this amazing lemon dressing that is creamy but not too heavy. Adding the sun-dried tomatoes and the avocado is perfection. I usually make a combination bite of all of the ingredients and it is heaven to my taste buds. I highly recommend this entrée. We have gotten a lot of other things on the menu before, but some of the standouts include the French Onion Soup, the Tuna Carpaccio, the Escargot, the Tomato Tart, and honestly just a side of the fries. The fries here are delicious. The waiter recommended the Tuna Carpaccio and oh my gosh it was so good. It was salty and the tuna is so melt in your mouth and the bread went perfectly with it. The tomato tart just tasted like an elevated pizza so you can't really go wrong with it. My husband absolutely loves the Escargot and I think the sauce that it comes with is really good. Their take on a French Onion Soup is so good. The cheese layer is decadent and the soup is rich, salty and just delicious. Getting a side of the fries with the aïoli they bring you is also pure joy. We never have a bad time when we come here. Sometimes it is hard to get a weekend reservation, but there tends to be a lot of cancellations so just keep checking and you're sure to find something. The restaurant is so big yet always packed. It is really impressive because there's never a wait time for your food and you always get good service. This place is like a machine, it's so incredible.
