Came here on Sunday 06/02/24 to grab some breakfast before day 2 of roots picnic. This is a legit diner down to the decor and seating. We were seated upon arrival and placed our orders within 10mins. Our foot arrived no more than 20mins after. We had: Steak and eggs: 10/10 the char on the steak was perfect as was the consistency of the eggs. Pancake breakfast (mine): 10/10 it came with 2 pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. I opted for 4 pieces of bacon and added a side of grits. The density of the pancakes was perfect without being too heavy. Our waitress was very sweet and complimentary. She asked us questions about our trip and just made random conversation that was super organic. Kindness is free so I'm always happy to have pleasant interactions with people, regardless of how short. I wish I could remember her name but she was a shorter Caucasian woman with a short pulled back ponytail (hey girl hey!) I genuinely have no complaints. The diner was 24hrs so if I ever find myself in PA again I'd come back no question. read more

The broad street diner has been a favorite spot since before Covid. A lot of diners are struggling to make money now and the broad street diner is hanging in there! This is one of my favorite places to have breakfast, I get eggs over with bacon home fries and rye toast. My favorite server , Courtney, remembers my order every time and is attentive but not overbearing. This diner has excellent food and is half the price of most breakfast spots. read more

Felt compelled to write a review after I had two great meals here, but also when I heard the building is being sold from local friends and I'll be sad to not be able to eat here again. Came here on a Saturday for breakfast and Sunday for brunch and no problem getting a seat, the old school diner vibe felt just like the warm cups of coffee they poured, and the food was very, very good. My breakfast was two eggs scrambled with srapple, hash browns and english muffin. Scrapple was fried up perfect, the cook on the browns were stellar, and I liked the whipped butter for my english muffin. Our server was super nice, and my friend who lives around the corner loved his breakfast sandwich. Came back the next day with a slight hangover, and again, it was such a good move. Our server this time was also super speedy and nice, the chicken salad triple decker sandwich was SO good. Lots of chicken, lots of bacon, and the fries were tasty! My friend got the special french toast with lemon, blueberry and the cookie butter and he was in heaven. Im hoping next time I visit, I can come back and order some more delicious food with a hot cup of coffee. read more

A basic diner gets a basic review. It wasn't bad. I went for the turkey platter. I thought the turkey was really good. Not as much on the stuffing though. It was just ok but a little mushy and sweet for my taste. It was kind of weird that they put turkey gravy on the meat but brown gravy on the potatoes. It didn't work for me. I liked the soup though. And I like the fact that they have Melrose Diner desserts if I need my fix. And I like the atmosphere. The staff was nice. Even if the food was hit or miss. read more

I'm being harsh with the rating but I ordered on DoorDash and clicked a button for chocolate chips in my pancakes and cheese on my eggs. Each addition was like two bucks and they didn't do either. Not worth going through all the trouble to get back the four bucks on DoorDash but they should take those buttons off if they're not going to comply with the requests. I'm pissed off lol. read more

I'm a sucker for a great long-time diner. Not sure what the other ratings are about, but I enjoyed this place. Great Reuben. It's a diner, not a Michelin star restaurant. read more

Very average diner quality breakfast. I two poached eggs from the Breakfast All Day Menu and the husband went with the Country Omelette. Both entrees was just okay. The hash-browns were cold and my husbands were practically burnt (see photo). We were hoping to be in and out fairly quickly, but our food took a while, even though it was 9 AM on a Sunday morning and not crowded. read more

"This is the best cheesesteak I've had yet in Philly," my friend said, and we've been to all the cheesesteak places around town. "Tony Luke's was good, but this is better," he said. I was certainly amazed by the cheesesteak as well. Nice, chewy rolls filled with tender steak and fried onions. My friend said that the only room for improvement was more cheese. I felt there was enough. For top Philly cheesesteak, it definitely falls in the same top 5 as Woodrow's, Tony Luke's (on a good day), Sonny's, and Dalessandro's. The fries with their slightly crispy outside were great. The chicken parm sandwich was not as good. The chicken was a little chewy and stringy and bland. Lots of parking in front of the diner and around the block. Good service, too. Definitely stop in to try the cheesesteak. read more

A friend of mine looked at this diner as having fancy options. I couldn't sense if he was joking with me or not, but if he was not, I have to disagree. While offering a pizza burger may not be the most common item to offer, the look and the overall taste of my buffalo chicken salad, his coffee but able to have it in the evening spoke "basic." This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it serves the people that want items that tend to be more straightforward. I ordered a salad, which I usually don't do, because none of the other items screamed at me. I was totally okay with this- it was a pretty healthy options to be surrounded by so many vegetables, but still being courteous to the company sharing their time with me as well as to patronize the diner itself. The waiter and cashier were both really nice and they didn't rush us since the diner was not full on this peaceful, but really rainy Saturday night. read more

Actually the food was very good and Fresh, We really enjoyed it We couldn't eat all of our meals so we took home a take-out container for it later. That was my first time there. I like it when it's not crowded We will be back read more

Huge portions that were delicious. I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was huge! I asked for pickles and they gave me three big, sliced pickles. It also came with hot, fresh french fries. For dessert I had the buttercream layer cake and it was out of this world! Yum! Oh! and the best part? I got all that for less than $20! I would go back. read more

Apparently Philly places don't answer their phones... I'm not going all the way there to find they're closed

Initially looked for the Panda Express at 10th and Market. (Closed for emergency repairs) We had driven by this diner and chose to circle around and try it. I wasn't disappointed. I had a chicken ceasar wrap and well done fries.. WAY TOO MUCH food! Very tasty with just the right amount of dressing. I gave half of my wrap to a homeless man (Manny) the diner staff have taken under their wing. The hostess was very appreciative of my effort. (I think I noticed a tear in her eye.) They even donate part of their tips to him when he will take it. It's people like these folks that make a business a success! read more

Not only do you not get a salad they don't even have baked potatoes they didn't give bread or anything delivering onions was subpar at best. The restaurant was empty. That should've been an indicator to run away. I wouldn't eat there if I was starving dumpy atmosphere also. read more

I came here with my six week, old son, and girlfriend, and had in the best experience! The server was very kind, and took down all of our order in detail, and not a single thing went wrong. Our son cried a little during our visit, and the waitress was still so accommodating and did a great job on top of that. The food was perfect. Everything we ordered to a T with great taste. We will definitely be back and recommend friends! read more

This diner is pretty "okay". I was delighted by the brightness and cleanliness of it after the remodeling - but it still has the old charm on the outside! There is a very large selection on the menu... whether you're in the mood for breakfast, a salad, sandwich, or a full-on dinner entree, they've got you covered. I had a spinach and chicken salad, which was decent and filling. It was just the healthy option that I wanted, too. The service staff seemed to be pretty bored, as there was practically nobody in the restaurant besides my table. The nice, elderly waitress ended up chatting our ear off for about 10 minutes, but we didn't mind. Maybe I should try this place again for a Sunday morning brunch sometime. read more

My morning run takes me by Broad Street Diner every day, and I love breakfast food. How could I resist stopping in one day? Broad Street Diner is just a very exceedingly solid diner. Not great yet not terrible. I ordered a blueberry muffin and the French Toast. The blueberry muffin was actually the winner for that meal. It was perfectly toasted and just super tasty. Honestly, I probably could have stopped there! The French Toast was, unfortunately, just very okay. The packets of Smucker's for syrup did help temper my expectations. Do I need to run back any time soon? Probably not. But, if I am ever in the mood for a post run muffin (who am I kidding? I always am), then I know where to stop! read more

When the winter months set in, my cravings for hot chocolate begin to skyrocket. After attending a Sixers game one cold night a few weeks ago, we decided to hit Broad Street Diner after the game. We sat at the counter and I had hot chocolate with whipped cream while my husband had a black and white milkshake. Both hit the spot, and the milkshake was huge. Our server was sweet and overall the experience was good. This may become a tradition for post-game celebrations! read more

I frequently go there to have breakfast with a family member. The food is very good but the service is super bad, especially when you are served by a girl named Annie with a heavy attitude, throwing the menu and cutlery on the table when taking the order. She responds, annoyed, I understand that you may be having a bad day but I don't know if it's an issue of racism, it's very bad service when she's here. read more

Your typical post-night-out diner. The food is mediocre and the service is sarcastic, perfect for the drunken crowd. I came here and my my friend told me to get the scrapple. I will probably never eat scrapple again in my life. The other stuff wasn't bad, I mean I don't really know how to review chicken tenders and fries that taste like cafeteria food, but I don't expect much more from a diner. It's real quiet in here... like people were falling asleep on their food read more

There is very limited parking in their lot. Overall I enjoy my meal and will be coming back ! read more

Very solid diner, with good food at whatever time you come by. The menu is pretty extensive and they have options for the whole family. I came for breakfast, and i tried the scrapple, which is pretty good! The prices are pretty much the average diner prices, I paid $10 for breakfast and coffee- eggs, scrapple, hash browns and toast. The service is pretty good too, but the wait time from the kitchen is a little while. I asked them to add the scrapple to my meal after the order had been placed, maybe thats what took a little extra time. The space is pretty large, could fit about 30 parties and there are some regulars as well. A guy came in with his kid and all the waitstaff knew him, came over to say hi and chat a little. Definitely friendly and helpful. Place was clean too and bathrooms were great. read more

Food was ok. Coffee was good. Waiter was either racist or didn't want to be at work. They said they didn't have boxed eggs and they gave my son boxed eggs. The hash browns were not good and omelet with ham .. ham was not cooked so we had to pick them out.. read more

Sorry to see that others have had bad experiences at the Broad Street Diner. I too live just around the corner and have visited twice--most recently on 1/14/2012, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both experiences were fine and no issues with service. My experience with the food here is that has been fine, nothing special. My one "complaint" is that the fries are clearly frozen "crinkle" fries....kind of a letdown at a diner. As for the reviewer who commented that Broad Street was sellling Melrose Diner cookies....well, yeah. They are under the same ownership and the Melrose baked goods have a great rep. What's the issue? I was glad to see it...saves me a trip down Broad Street. Not a culinary destinaton but decent enough for a basic lunch or breakfast. Yes, there is a parking lot but it is tiny--probably why Stephen Starr passed on the place. Broad St line to Ellsworth-Federal is a better bet. read more
