    Traditional Waffle with Apple Compote
    Jen H.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday and the wait for 6 was about 40 minutes. Our server was super friendly and accommodating. I got the mustard crisped crab cake benedict and also shared a waffle. The crab cake was a little salty for my liking but the eggs were cooked perfectly. The side salad also added a nice acidity to the meal since the benedict is a bit on the heavier side. I do wish the potatoes were a little bit more seasoned but there is salt and pepper available at the table. The waffle was a bit disappointing because it was not very crispy on the outside. The apple compote was delicious. I probably wouldn't get the waffle again. The restaurant itself has an upbeat vibe, almost diner-like vibe. I would definitely come back again to try other menu items if I'm in the area again.

    We loved our visit at Winkel this fall when we were in Philadelphia. I started with one of their mocktails of the day and loved it! Before arriving at the restaurant, I already had a strong craving for a benedict and ended up ordering the Mustard Crisped Crabcake. I've had crabcake benedicts from several different restaurants over the years and the one at Winkel is definitely one of the better ones I've had. The crabcake was perfectly fried, balanced, and seasoned well. At the end of our meal, we had an enjoyable and informative conversation with the owner, and we learned that he previously owned a restaurant in Chicago, where I live.

    Winkle is easily one of the best food spots I've been to in Philly. A Dutch place that really knows what it's doing, and absolutely a must-try. I had the daily special, their twist on avocado toast, and it blew me away. Thick pumpernickel bread, creamy avocado, a sunny side egg cooked just right, and the kicker--pickled onion and cucumber slices that tied it all together. My wife ordered the deep-fried bread pudding French toast, which I can only describe as a heart attack on a plate I'd gladly sign up for. Heck, if the heart attack killed me, I'd die happy!! Sweet, rich, but not over the top. Just the right amount. We both walked out super happy, already planning our next visit. This place has the kind of food you think about long after the meal's over. In a word, WOW!!

    I did not have a reservation when I walked into Winkel on a late Sunday morning. I was seated immediately at a table for 2. The waitress was friendly and went over items that were not on the menu. I ordered all sides: potatoes/onions, ham, and an English muffin. After I added some salt/pepper to the potatoes they were delicious. My friend ordered the chicken n waffles and left nothing on the plate. Oh! And the coffee was so good- I got a cup to go!

    Came here for brunch. The service here was super spotty. I finished my coffee and would have loved another one since it was bottomless, but the server never returned. The "potato hash" on our orders was just roasted potatoes, with nothing special about it. It was supposed to contain onions and it didn't have any. The food was average, nothing great, but nothing bad either. There is a ton of space and quiet enough to have a good conversation. Also interesting to note that it was BYOB.

    Was staying at a hotel a couple blocks away and found this place via - shocker - the Yelp app! I was in town with family, and Winkel also hit the mark on having something on the menu that everyone would be able to enjoy for brunch - while also having some interesting, Dutch-style dishes (I always love to try something new whenever possible). We were there at 9:30am on a Sunday and got a table without any wait. Service was prompt, welcoming, and friendly. Brunch dishes came out quickly from the kitchen - and everything was delicious. Special props for the side of pickled items (spicy pickles, house recipe pickles, pickled red onions, and pickled pearl onions) available which includes pearl onions that are pickled in a recipe that includes turmeric. Delicious! Visiting Winkel feels a bit like getting a family meal - and the folks working here seem to truly focus on providing that homey ambience. So happy my family members and I got to try this place on our recent visit to Philly. Highly recommend!

    Brisket bennies
    Becca D.

    Nothing to write home about. Met a friend for brunch here a few months ago. There was a wait so we put our names on the list and hung out across the street. After about 20min, we went back over and they said we were next on the list. Then they kept seating all these other people - to the point where we were like um I thought we were next on the list? They seemed irritated but they def skipped over us and finally got us sat. Very cute place inside, love the decor! The tables were laid out kind of haphazardly - I only noticed because I recently had ankle surgery and was in a walking boot, and I had to zig zag out of the way to get through the dining room because chairs were slammed up against each other. I got the brisket bennies and also ordered a diet coke. The bennies came out and I still had no diet coke, so I asked the guy who dropped the food off (he wasn't our server). Never got it. My friend had to ask for some condiments and I asked again for the diet coke. Never got it. Finally halfway into our meal, I had to stop someone and finally got my diet coke. The server never came over to our table during our meal to check on us at all - basically just took our order and cleared our plates. The bennies were just ok, they were bland and lacking in any type of seasoning. I liked the potatoes that came with it and the salad was very refreshing on a heavy plate of food. Pretty meh about the whole experience, likely won't be back as I have no reason to go here other than my friend was the one that picked it for brunch.

    We visited here on a Sunday for brunch around 1:30 PM, minimal wait..about 10 minutes, a party of 3. The service was excellent and the menu selection was great. Prices are reasonable. The decor was nice and seating was comfortable. Everyone enjoyed their food, my favorite were the home fried potatoes. I had the hard cook them to make them extra crispy on the outside and soften on the inside...delicious. I would definitely go back.

    Classic Benedict
    Natalie L.

    Great brunch at Winkel! We had the Benedict and the ham was nice and crispy! Potatoes could've been a little softer but that's okay. Hot chicken sandwich would've been a bit spicier but the chicken itself was good! Would go back because all their other brunch treats looked good too!

    Blueberry & Bacon Pancakes
    Chris L.

    Ordered on DoorDash. Food packaged well. So so tasty. Creamed spinach omelette and bacon/blueberry pancakes were are unique items that I do not see on many menus. I want to go back and try so much more.

    Ironically this little restaurant was the best meal I had while visiting Philadelphia. The ingredients are fresh and excellent quality. The staff are attentive and not in your face. The food flavors are outstanding. Their house hot sauce is fabulous. Everything we had was amazing. The coffee was average. A bit bitter. I would definitely recommend and return.

    Deep Fried Bread Pudding French Toast
    Brian M.

    Modern, European, hipster ambiance. The hot chicken sandwich was crispy and the house made pickles were the perfect touch. The deep fried bread pudding French toast was spongy in the center with a crunchy exterior. The candied bacon completed it.

    Came here for brunch and everything was so delicious! Our service was fast and we will def be back!

    Ask the Community - Winkel

    Do they serve bottomless mimosas brunch?

    No. It's a BYOB.

    Are reservations recommended?

    To be on the safe side, I'd go ahead and call first. When my son and I went, they were pretty busy. Just call and ask.

    Is it byob?

    Yes, for sure with champagne/wine! Not sure about liquor. No corking fee either.

    So, is brunch on Sunday is only available for fixed price of $25/person?

    per their website, "BRUNCH ITEMS ALSO AVAILABLE A-LA-CARTE" and the individual prices are clearly shown for the brunch items, so I would say no, not just the fixed price is available.

This was my first time actually trying it and it definitely lived up to the hype of the Yelp reviews. My wrap had chicken, hummus, lettuce, and feta, and it was so delicious. My chicken was very good, very tender and seasoned well. It also had a great creamy hummus to tie all the other ingredients together. The feta added just enough saltiness to balance out the rest of the flavors. All of the ingredients were very fresh, and my wrap was extremely soft, yet still maintained its form completely as I ate. I also ordered a Nutella hot chocolate. It was delicious! It was my fist time having a Nutella hot Chocolate. I usually just get a normal hot chocolate. The pita chips served as an additional side item with this sandwich and proved to be quite enjoyable. The pita chips had a good crunch and were able to pair with the wrap very well. I ended up eating all of the pita chips! It was a great lunch and I enjoyed my wrap! I would likely order from Café Square One again in the future, especially, if that wrap is still on their menu!

    Dear reader, We went…read moreto City Tap in Philly with a large group just for drinks and had a thoroughly good time. The $10 martinis on Friday were an excellent deal and definitely one of the highlights of the evening. A well-priced martini always sets a promising tone, and these did exactly that. The bartenders were helpful and kept things moving impressively well, even with a group our size, which was much appreciated. The space itself is huge and very clean, with plenty of tables and seating, so it was easy for everyone to spread out, settle in, and enjoy themselves without feeling packed in. A major point in its favour is the setup for watching sports. They have a massive wall of TV screens, plus more TVs throughout the space, which made it very easy to keep up with multiple games at once. No awkward craning for a view, no fighting for the one good seat, just a very solid setup for a group outing. Overall, it was a fun experience and very much in line with the good times we have had at other City Tap locations in DC. A lively, well-run spot for drinks and groups, and one we would happily return to.

The place had a great ambiance- the bar had sports tvs playing, the side tables had very happy hour chat vibe, and the back tables had a more intimate feeling. Overall, would recommend- it was a nice experience.
