Good, cheap breakfast, nice portions, well-cooked. Can't ask for much more than that. Definitely a centerpiece of the neighborhood, it was packed to the gills when we were there.

Disappointed

I love their hot sausage egg and cheese on a kaiser roll. I switched up and got a hamburger egg and cheese. I assumed the hamburger would be homemade not a cheap flat burger. I suggest yall never order a burger.

It is organized chaos. Even though everyone seems to be all over the place, they each know what they have to do. I ordered my breakfast (egg-bacon-cheese omelette with house potatoes, toast & coffee). Short wait, about fifteen minutes and the friendly staff kept me laughing with all they jokes. The locals were greeted by their names and the atmosphere was very friendly. A few recommendations: order to go, call ahead to order for pickup and try the house potatoes!

fried chicken and waffles again. $7. chicken a little salty this time around.

Absolutely delicious!!!! The staff is incredibly friendly and even though the place is cramped, it feels like home. I'm somewhat of a germaphobe but it all disappears once I'm in here. It's chaotic: Oil splashing everywhere, piles and piles of bacon sliding all over the griddle, waffle alarm going off. If you pay attention, they really skimp everywhere they can. The napkins are very basic, no real silverware, your sausage and bacon drip dries on the flimsiest napkins. But I don't care because the food is THAT good. Most of the people are take out regulars and that's what I did too. There's a dingy TV in the corner but I found watching the staff to be entertainment enough. Of course I got the fried chicken and waffles! Cinnamon, sugar, side of bacon. May the chicken and waffles never change because it was delicious. I had to wait a while since it was made fresh and then I had a 15 minute walk home. Waffle was basic but perfect with hot sauce and syrup. Chicken was crispy on the outside (even after the walk!) and very juicy on the inside. A little salty on the seasoning but nothing syrup and hot sauce can't fix. Side of bacon was perfectly crisp. They really know how to do their bacon insanely crispy here. It gets kind of thin and hard so if you like it on the meatier side, specify that! Sometimes the language barrier seemed to annoy some customers. It's VERY slight and I found the customers to be plain rude for no reason but the workers let it roll off them. BE KIND AND PATIENT!!! The food and service is worth it!

Chicken and waffles: 4 wings and waffle with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Wings and waffle were perfect!

Great food at great prices and portions! Found this place on a whim looking for brunch and love how it's local and home-y. The staff are super friendly and nice, though the space (counter) to dine in and eat is small, there was room for us! It seemed like a lot of people did to-go orders or phoned in to pick up. It also looked like they had a lot of regulars and I loved that the staff knew most of the people coming in. We got the fish (whiting) and grits with eggs and chicken (wings) and waffles! Waffles were amazing and offered with powdered sugar and cinnamon; chicken was fried perfectly! Fish was also great! Would definitely come back!

Outstanding short-order, home cooked breakfast at a great price! This place is definitely worth the visit. The service was friendly and helpful, and our meal was served hot within 10 minutes of placing our order. The restaurant does have a small footprint with limited barstool/countertop seating, but does offer take-out orders. Despite being located in a more urban area, the quality, service and value are all first-class. One of Philadelphia's best hidden gems / best hole-in-the-wall local eateries.

Chicken and waffles with Apple reduction and grits

If you like carbs and butter, this place is heaven. I got the fried chicken wings and waffles with a side of grits. The chicken wings were brined and very well seasoned with the crispiest skin. The woman sitting next to me recommended that I get the apple reduction on the waffles and although I would have preferred not to see them melt the bucket of butter and brown sugar in the pan, I ultimately didn't care - it was absolutely delicious. Post meal naps are mandatory. Plan accordingly.

Waiting on delicious meal!

Food is consistently good and doesn't take long, the French toast is my favorite, and always get a jumbo mix

This place absolutely rules. For me, it's probably the best breakfast in the city if you're in the mood for a classic greasy spoon.

Its very small place and from the name of the place you would not think its a breakfast spot.

What a fabulous diner! Authentic!…read more Walked into a very busy breakfast spot but the waitlist wasn't very long. Both the hostess and manager made sure Party of 3 was seated within 10 mins. We were seated in the train part of the diner and it didn't disappoint. Lots of greenery and eclectic Philly memorabilia too. Dorie was our waitress. Our table ordered: Chicken & Waffles, Breakfast Burrito and me - I couldn't decide so Dorie helped me create a sampler of sorts with Shrimp & Grits and 1 slice of Banana Foster French Toast. I originally ordered the Espresso Martini but it wasn't what I was expecting based on what I saw on IG. Dorie had no issue with getting me something else and brought me Espress Ya'Self. Now my daughter said the Breakfast burrito was full and tasty and her friend enjoyed the buttermilk fried chicken thighs, vanilla waffle, herb-maple chicken gravy, hot-honey, maple butter. It looked really good. Now imagine banana foster flavor infused over a Texas Toast sized french toast with caramelized bananas and dark rum glaze with pecans. Be prepared for the prices but it's worth it!

Nothing hits quite like a classic grilled cheese and a bowl of…read moresoup--simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want while waiting to get tattooed at Central Tattoo. Warm, nostalgic, and perfectly timed, it's the kind of low-key meal that turns a casual afternoon into a small ritual. Sometimes the basics, done well, are all you need.

Philadelphia is not the Philadelphia. I grew up in. It's nasty and angry and ugly and it seems that nobody cares about doing a good job or providing a good service. The exception to my recent experiences in Philadelphia is the Oregon Diner. From the gentleman who seated us, our lovely and friendly waitress, the spotless dining room, delicious meal, and prices that are more than fair, everything in the Oregon diner was wonderful. To help make my point, I have never in my life, eaten a side dish of spinach that was more tasty. Spinach. Who puts that much effort into a side of spinach? The Oregon Diner Chef, that's who. The French Onion Soup and burger were tops too. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It brought me back to the South Philly I remember from my childhood. Thank you for restoring my faith that there is some good still left in Philadelphia. God bless you! Go here next time you are looking for someplace to eat. You will not be disappointed.
