    Amazing greasy spoon diner. Good food for good prices. Cash only so be sure to bring some or they have an ATM in the back.

    I met the owner's brother randomly one day and he mentioned this place. Ever since then it was on my bucket list - my husband and I tried it out for a low key breakfast date and it did not disappoint. inside, this place is larger than it looks from the outside but has a cozy, old school feel, you look around and you can tell some of the people there are loyal regulars. It feels like a hug on a cold day in there. This no frills place has some good eggs, fluffy pancakes and super friendly staff always waiting to give you coffee refills (the coffee is just ok, for all you coffee snobs out there). this might also be the place to go for a greasy hangover cure. Sit in a booth or sit at the bar/kitchen and have a chat with staff. I bet you'll leave this local favorite in a good mood.

    I took my daughter to Bob's Diner. It's advertised as affordable five-star dining, so how could I pass that up? It's located on Ridge, next to a cemetery; which actually makes it kinda peaceful, not creepy. I adore a cute theme and the diner car is fun. It's cozy but not cramped, with plenty of space at the counter. The staff was friendly, though I have to mark down the service since the hostess ignored my daughter and I for two full minutes to pack mugs into a cardboard box while we waited to pay. The prices were reasonable for the portion size, but I wasn't impressed by the pancakes. The bacon was crispy and tasty, the eggs cooked well, and the coffee was average for a diner. Our meal came out to about $25, which was a little high for the quality. The joint is cash only, with an ATM in the back.

    Great food, great service in a little space but I will take that any day. We've passed by this place a lot and never stopped here until now and I'm sorry we didn't beforehand. This is a very quaint and tasty joint - do not pass it up. I do have to say you need cash to pay. Things are not very expensive unless you want I guess the steak and eggs. We got a pork roll and cheese and and a bacon egg and hash brown platter with wheat toast and coffee. Additionally we got a pancake - holy pancake - we thought it was going to be a little one - it is HUGE. We will definitely go here again - do not sleep on this joint. I grew up in Jersey and this just reminds me of a small diner. The service is on par for amazingness. The waitress just was so good.

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

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. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

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.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics. Unfortunately on the night we went it was super cloudy and had been raining so the views weren't nearly as good as they could have been. There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!
