This place was able to accommodate our large family of 9 for breakfast. The poor server was really stretched to capacity but he did a great job. Everyone was very happy with their choices and the French fries were a huge hit. My choices were not good. I got tater tots which were fine, nothing special. My breakfast sandwich was pretty dry and not very big. Overall though the family was happy. read more

The food was ok. The price was cool. I asked for onions and peppers in my home fries but they ignored that request so hey. I'd order again but either in person or over the phone. read more

I was in the area and just needed somewhere to quickly grab some breakfast so I wandered into Taylor's, and I have to say I'm glad I did. I got the brioche French toast platter with pork sausage and scrambled eggs and it was amazing. Everything was perfectly cooked. A lot of food establishments cook their meat in a very greasy manner and I absolutely hate that but not here. The service was fantastic and the conversation was very welcoming and I definitely plan to stop in again. I didn't get a chance to ask how long they have been around but the place is very cool and has a nice modern aesthetic that I really like while still giving the vibes of a comfy diner. read more

It looks like a dive from the outside but the breakfast was excellent. Got an omelette and it was on point. Fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. And not too expensive. Will definitely go back read more

Sometimes you get so used to a neighborhood breakfast spot that you thought you reviewed it years ago. But then you see no review after you check in and realize that you need to right this wrong! Whether it's been to grab a quick cup of La Colombe before making my way down that Manayunk hill or to enjoy a damn good brunch, Taylor's has been an absolute Roxborough for a few years now. It's a great cafe with good service, neighborhood charm, and a well-rounded menu with the traditional brunch cafe items you'd expect and some good surprises mixed in. When I'm here breakfast is on my plate 99% percent of the time, and its almost always eggs related since its hard to turn down things like the build-your-own omelets, their four kinds of Benedicts, or that fully loaded breakfast burrito. But they also know who to lure me over to the sweet side with their Belgian waffles and creme brulee French toast! With a plentiful assortment of burgers and sandwiches lunch is good too. Coffee also goes beyond bottomless La Colombe with macchiatos, lattes, cappuccinos and more; and you can also grab smoothies and fresh orange juice. For whatever you need before 4:00 pm, Taylor's hooks it up and you can even BYOB. read more

Decent breakfast/brunch spot. I came here right as they opened and wanted steak eggs but they were out for steak. I was craving red meat so I ended up ordering a cheesesteak without the break alongside my eggs . Very interesting choice but I enjoyed it. The service was great and the waiter was very accommodating. I also ordered the Gibraltar which is like a cortado. This was very creamy and delicious. It reminded me of drinking Cuban coffee in Miami. read more

Wanted to try something new. I should have immediately turned around when the floors were sticky, but I was hungover and hungry. The server was okay, however she sat us by the basement door. The fresh squeezed OJ was terribly bitter. I couldn't drink it after 2 sips. The food was bland, and dry. I had the crab cake Benedict and the crab cakes were mushy and I believe fake. The only good thing about the creme brulee French toast was the sauce. The bread they used for it was horrible and cheap. I was only able to finish the home fries. Ran to manhattan bagel because I was truly unsatisfied! read more

Waiter was nice and kind not that attentive. Could have used another coffee but the place is kinda off putting. The staff can be seen eating at the coffee prep station. Food def not quality. The waffle biscuit was pretty tough. The food was not really hot. Wont be back. read more

I've had great food dining in, and I LOVE that they have La Colombe coffee! My recent take out experience was disappointing (food arrived quickly but was cold, and they forgot to pack the juice I had ordered). So, I'll likely avoid take out in the future, but will be back for dine in. read more

NEVER would I go back here again. I would NEVER recommend anyone to go, I got the grand slammer and the food was TERRIBLE! The pancakes were so dry and tasted like they were warmed up in the microwave. The eggs tastes weird. The portion sizes are bad and the food is overpriced! All this for $22. Only thing good was the freshly squeezed orange juice. read more

Solid food. Came back after a long deployment and decided to take leave back home. I haven't been back in Rox in like 4 years. ALOT has changed. Two close friends in mine, whom I also haven't seen in years decided on this place. The omelette was terrific. read more

Good diner food on a sleepy Sunday morning. Exactly what we were searching for that day.

Brunch service is not worth your time. After my girlfriend and I walked past Taylors because you could only read American Grill on the outside. When we realized we passed, we circled back and found it. Went in and stood at the host stand waiting to be seated until a guy from the kitchen said sit anywhere. now there is only at least 6 tables with people. the rest of the place is empty. we were almost going to walk out before we fully went in but decided to give it a shot. But after seating ourselves its 15 minutes with no waiter, waitresses, no service at all. no one asked what we wanted to drink either. no one came to our table. we made eye contact but to no use. let also mention we walked in, barely got a word and left without any word. no one said anything. straight bad customer service and don't recommend the waste of time. we walked 7 min down the road somewhere else. read more

I have only had takeout as of yet, but went on the Christmas holiday and staff was kind and helpful. Food tasted great, French toast and eggs, toast, home fries were a highlight. Will be back to dine in. read more

Never had salmon scrambled eggs before, it was very good aside from the small piece of sausage in it. I am vegetarian/pescatarian. But otherwise nice clean place. Maybe the issue with the food was because we got there 40 minutes before closing? I'd think that be enough time... Also interesting (not bad) was that the feta portion of my salmon scrambled eggs came as a portion completely separate on the plate. I guess it was kind of cool to be able to sprinkle my desired amount of cheese onto the eggs. Far more positive experience than not, but vegetarian issues are important enough to me that I removed one star. read more

Two stars as I don't think this one is great contrary to what others noted on this platform. I ordered Crime Brûlée French Toast 12/3/21. My nice waitresssaid the dish is popular.I felt it was only average, though. (I've been here twice only. That was my first time.) I considered NOT returning after this but thought I should give the place another try. Kept my receipts, which Are postedMy 12/14/21 one doesn't note it for some reason but I believe I got the SINGLE BREAKFAST BURRITO 4, which the cafe menu notes is: "1 egg with choice of breakfast meat, salsa, avocado and cheese.") Unfortunately the "meat" I got, I believe I ordered pork, was DEFINITELY bad so it wrecked the whole sandwich. (I wanted to let the waiter know but didn't, which I don't think was right as rain, still.) Both people who waited on me were super but I can't recommend this place due to all the above. read more

Great little place in the heart of Roxborough. Easy street parking very clean and food is prepared very well. It's great that seniors are given a free coffee which is normally four dollars from Monday to Friday. You should frequent this establishments. read more

I stopped here for lunch and I ordered the special. The pulled pork quesadilla. It was so delicious. The pulled pork was definitely homemade. Flavorful. Very juicy. A perfect compliment to the quesadilla. Service was rather slow, and I was on a time crunch because I had to head back to work. The restaurant could have been cleaner as well. The booth seating was very greasy. Could definitely use a wipe down. read more

Taylor's is a solid go to joint for breakfast or lunch. They make everything fresh. I've been there now 7 times. They serve bottomless cups of coffee or soft drinks - whatever is your jam in the morning/late morning/lunch. and it's La Colombe coffee if you're drinking coffee. It's super yummy and everything I've had there I could say is delicious. They make excellent breakfast sandwiches, breakfast platters, waffles, and their regular sandwiches also amazing. also the home fries side and the aioli on the sandwiches- I always ask for more. Yes, you do need to allot a little bit of time to go there but I don't mind waiting while in this place. Whenever I go there I make sure I have some time to just take in things, eat a little slower and not try to rush things. Have another cup of coffee, perhaps? Maybe we need to realize sometimes everything doesn't need to be rushed? [btw I've read previous reviews on the price of the coffee - yes while a regular cup of coffee may be super cheap... I would easily pay for a $5 cup of La Colombe coffee. In a supermarket or other type of grocery store, any type of La Colombe product will be $$$ and there will not be any refills on that] read more

Food was average. Atmosphere was boring and uninviting. The prices were crazy. $50 for 2 eggs/meat/hashbrown 2 coffee breakfasts.

I'd give them 3.5 stars if that was an option. Came here with my daughter when I was taking her back to school. The place appeared clean, no issues there. There was only one other table in the restaurant when we walked in, and they already had their food. Service was good, server was attentive and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I had the eggs Benedict, the eggs were poached perfectly. I ordered a side of tots to go with it. They were very crunchy (good), but also stone cold (bad) when they hit the table. My daughter had the crème brûlée French toast. She said it was good but thought the crème brûlée could have been creamier. I tried it and I completely disagree, I thought the flavor was amazing and the creaminess was right on point. The 10% Yelp coupon (weekdays only) was a nice plus. We would stop again. read more

Food and more food this Restaurant have a wide selection of Breakfast and Lunch. My Husband started going here and was telling me how the was so good. So one day I decided to go to this restaurant. To check the food out that my husband talked so much about. So I went let me tell you the first time I went the food was good and everything was good. But let me tell you about the Coffee that was the best for me and the freshly squeezed Orange Juice yes yes baby. It's the little things with food for Me. Just prepare it right and make sure it's fresh and hot. The service was ok some of the ladies are very nice and some of them could have stayed home. It's a nice location the Restaurant also has another room where you can hold events. The only thing is when I order my eggs well done they are always wet and not cooked right. I have to send them back and then I have to order something else read more

When I first moved to the north west Philly area and was looking for a great breakfast joint, Taylor's was one of the first places I decided to try and I am so glad that I did! Taylor's has wonderful staff, a great menu, and I frequent here for breakfast quite often. It is a super clean restaurant with plenty of seating goes all the way to the back of the building with a nice open outdoor seating area. There are televisions in to keep up with your morning news. The air conditioning in the building tends to be up a little higher than normal but that's because the cooks are always cooking and it can get hot towards the front. I give this a five star rating for the food, the employees, efficiency, menu, and cleanliness. read more

Great breakfast and love the fresh OJ! Even though it's a bit pricey. The whole place is a little pricey for diner food but that's inflation. read more

Love it here! My friend lives in the neighborhood so this place is a staple. Breakfast or lunch, you can't go wrong. It is popular, so you might have to wait for a table, but shouldn't be too long of a wait. There is a counter if you're into that Kind of seating, or plenty of tables. My favorite meal is the banana boat - french toast with carmelized bananas and whipped cream. DELICIOUS. Servers are attentive and there to fill up your coffee frequently which was so appreciated! read more

Don't get me wrong the place is really nice looking however, the service lacked. I got my eggs before the rest of my food. Which is odd because eggs should be cooked last. I asked for chicken and waffles and didn't get my chicken. I guess because it was almost time for her to go she forgot but the food wasn't that good. The waffles and pancakes were dry. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Taylor's Cafe. The food was affordable, delicious, and fast! The service was great, and everyone who worked there was kind. I had the breakfast burrito and it had a generous portion size. I substituted my side for sweet potato fries, which I just can't go without when I see them on a menu. Everything was delicious and if I lived closer I would be going more often. But I will definitely make the trip out here again for Taylor's Cafe-- it is worth it! read more

Overall it was an okay experience. We sat out back where there is some outdoor seating. They have tables with umbrellas on an enclosed deck space. I ordered the egg sandwich on a bagel with homefries and my friend ordered eggs Benedict. Both were satisfying. It's a little pricey for what you get - and pay attention to those "upcharges". I got charged $1 more for getting a bagel for my sandwich. They also serve La Colombe coffee and its BYOB. read more

I was killing time before an appt nearby and was starved so I decided to stop in for a quick lunch. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but it actually has a very modern diner feel on the inside! I was able to seat myself and a very friendly waitress gave me the menu. I sat close to the kitchen/window where the food comes out and all the staff were friendly with each other and the many regular patrons that walked in. Definitely got the warm and fuzzies when they knew many people by name. The menu is large and has a little bit of everything- I decided on a turkey club and subbed the crispy green beans instead of fries. The sandwich was tasty with perfectly crispy bacon and the green beans came with a delicious spicy sauce that complimented them well. The serving was huge and I ended up taking home over half to my bf who enjoyed the leftovers. Overall the service was attentive and friendly, the food did not disappoint, and the prices are reasonable! **** Came back for brunch with the bf and we enjoyed it- the menu is large and they were busy but we got seated within 10min. The food was great and came out fairly quick. Service was a little scattered but seems it was just due to the large crowd. We'll be back!***** read more

Loved it!! We caught up with some relatives here on a visit back to Roxborough. Having moved to the Midwest a long time ago there are simply some things you have to get when you come back. The first was scrapple - theirs was a nice size rectangle cooked crispy on the outside and steaming hot, creamy in the middle. Yum!!! The other was Creamed chipped beef (SOS) - again a childhood flashback - creamy, salty and flavorful. My wife enjoyed her pancakes. The cousins ordered Turkey clubs with fries. It was huge & they raved about it and the fries. Only downside was the fountain drinks were a bit off. If we lived nearby we would be regulars!! read more

My husband and I had ordered take out often and never had any issues... then went to eat in and boy were we surprised by how dirty the restaurant is. Clearly years of neglect and no cleaning. The walls are even dirty and grimy. The floors are so sticky! While the staff is very friendly, I watched someone drop a pair of tongs on the dirty floor and then proceed to use it to get toast from the toaster. Definitely won't be back, I'm surprised more people aren't sick from how dirty just the glimpse of the kitchen I saw was. read more

5 words or less: diner vibes, great wait staff Found myself in Roxborough for an event and had some time to kill, so stumbled across Taylor's Cafe and I was so happy I walked in the door. Felt like an classic Jersey diner and the interior and everything felt super new. Grabbed a seat at the bar, and went with a simple egg sandwich platter. The server was one of the kindest people ever, and I would've loved to stay and talk to her the rest of the day. Although I just sat down at the front, the restaurant itself is pretty deep, so there's plenty of seating as well. Whether you're just strolling around and want a quick bite like I was or if you're looking for a nice brunch spot, Taylor's has it all read more

I love this place. I've been here a few times and have always had a great experience. The staff is Friendly and the food hits the spot! I usually go with the meat omelet, cheddar grits, and toast. The last time I went people got all kinds of goodness. The banana French toast was crazy good, and the Oatmeal with fruit looked great and I was told it tasted even better. They serve LA Colombe coffee so that's a huge win. In addition to that, they serve fresh squeezed orange juice. Soooooooo gooooood! Most definitely check this place out. :-) read more
