    Small diner (like less than 10 tables inside) that feels homey with all the random decor that don't really make sense. The order came fast, but unfortunately, our hashbrowns we're not crispy how we requested. Also, their maple syrup didn't taste like anything. It was too watery. We ended up taking the French toast home for better syrup. The food was good but nothing memorable, esp for the prices.

    But serving! Fluffy pancakes

    Ok let's start with the amazing owner's customer service and warm welcome. This is a local cafe we found on Google. We had an hour to eat between my kid's game! Loved everything about here. Most important, the service we received added to the taste of the food. Will definitely come back here if in the area. Despite it was busy, they took care of every customer in a unique way! Love the fall decors, very family friendly!

    My son was craving pancakes this morning, so we wandered into this little breakfast spot that was already buzzing early. Nothing fancy. Mismatched mugs, random photos on the walls but the kind of place where the staff knows everyone's order before they sit down. It felt like a movie scene. Different people, different stories, all crammed into this tiny room over coffee and eggs. It was chaotic, warm, and oddly comforting. Reminded me I still need to learn how to make pancakes, but until then, this place feels like home.

    This is a small hidden gem, located is a cozy neighborhood. Service and food were 10/10. I will definitely be coming back. Loved how they have different styles of mugs as well as their wall art. This place has its own style and I am here for itn

    Just a typical small diner. I went here for brunch with my family. We ordered a waffle with eggs and bacon, a grilled cheese sandwich with fries, and the McBryde omelette. Waffle, bacon, and eggs were pretty standard. The grilled cheese was kind of sad, with not much cheese. The omelette felt more like scrambled eggs laid on top off avocados and bacon. The servers were nice. I feel like we might have felt better about everything if we didn't have to wait 40 minutes after ordering to get our food. I'm not sure if the wait is always this long. A server said something to another table about phone orders and cooking for next door, so maybe next door had an event or something?

    Down-to-earth, unpretentious eats. I planned on pancakes but then the waitress walked by with a chicken fried steak and it was love at first sight. Tasty coffee, crispy hash browns and genuinely friendly service too.

    I have been hoping up try this place for a while after hearing good reviews. We came in around brunch time. There were only two other people inside but soon the whole place filled up. They only had one server so service was a little slow but she did let us know she had called for backup and a while later a second server came. I had the Tito's waffle without the bananas it was delicious. I debated getting a side of bacon because it was $5 but I relented and I am so glad I did that bacon was thick and so good and worth the price. My husband had the club sandwich with onion rings. I tried the sandwich it was very good and the onion rings were hot and good too. We will definitely come back here again.

    Great breakfast here. Good old fashioned breakfast, nothing fancy just good comfort food. The service is great, I love the setting, it's like eating inside of someone's home, not many tables inside. Just my type of place. Great Bacon!

    Gluten free menu?

    They do have Gluten-Free bread and the owner is knowledgeable about celiac... no GF pancakes I'm afraid but can get GF French toast.

    Open by the weekend? hopefully for memorial day for sure!

We also tried the pineapple shakes, which had just the right balance of sweetness and pineapple flavor. The restaurant is order-and-pickup style, making it a quick and easy stop for a great meal. We're glad we came back and will definitely be visiting more often. Highly recommended!

Standard order comes with Miracle Whip, I was too chicken to try it and went with regular mayonnaise instead. I'm willing to come back and give Miracle Whip a try, but if I comeback, I'm definitely getting a double burger or trying a Phila Burger. 4.1/5 Garlic fries were ok. Order came with a dollop of minced garlic, would have preferred if it had been tossed for a more even coating. 3.3/5 The absolute highlight of this visit was the service. Being my first visit, the cashier was incredibly patient and took extra time to go through the menu with me and giving recommendations. But this was not an isolated incident. In the short 10 minutes I was there, I watched as this cashier welcome back a old regular, give a child a small to-go cup of ice cream, and patiently work with a customer as they were experiencing technical payment difficulties. Phila Burger is shining light of what a local, small business should be in a community. I will gladly be returning.

The patties have that unmistakable smoky char, the kind you can literally smell as soon as you step into the parking lot. It's the kind of aroma that immediately tells you that you made the right choice. This definitely isn't a spot for the health-conscious, but that's part of the appeal. Everything feels unapologetically indulgent. You can hear the constant sizzle from the grill and the bubbling rush of oil when a fresh batch of fries hits the fryer, it adds to the whole, old-school burger joint experience. And don't skip the pineapple milkshake. It's surprisingly good, with small chunks of pineapple throughout that give it real texture instead of just flavoring. Every now and then you get a bright pop of acidity and sweetness that cuts through the richness, which makes it a lot more interesting than your typical shake.

Parking will be on neighborhood streets and was not too hard to find. Stepping in we immediately noticed that mural arts on the wall. Ordering can be at the register or via an electronic kiosk. They have a lot of interesting smash burger options, including a Trompo featuring Al Pastor. We got the Fat Boi, Trompo, and Highway Style fries. We waited longer than we expected, but good thing they have many monitors so we watched the World Cup while waiting for our food. When the food came, they were an impressive sight. The burgers were loaded and dripping with grease. My son liked his Fat Boi, but I thought the Al Pastor in the Trompo was a bit bland. The Trompo was also so greasy that grease was running down my hand and forearm while I am eating it, and I can feel my arteries hardening already! The Highway Style fries were decent. A smash patty laid between two layers of fries and then topped with melted cheese. It was decadent but a guilty pleasure. The kids gave the place 7-7.5 out of 10 and they said they would come back. For myself, probably not as the food was just too heavy for me.

I got my order and left, got home and realized the burrito wasn't there. I went all the way back and they said "we refunded the burrito, it's only served for breakfast" First off the menu does not say this. If it's only served during a certain part of the day THEN SAY IT ON THE MENU. Second, no one thought of letting anyone know it was refunded. Just did and went on about their day of goofing off. The people at the store there couldn't give a flying yahoo when I voiced my displeasure. The last couple times we've been here the service was almost non-existent and the orders are always messed up. And this was the last time. Management will read this and just laugh. They could not care at all. Time for poorly run businesses like this to be done.

What I don't understand is why I'm charged an additional $2.50 for the lettuce wrap when I'm not even getting the bun. If you're taking something away, what's the justification for adding an extra charge? I could understand a modest upcharge, but $2.50 for a few leaves of lettuce is hard to justify. I can buy an entire head of lettuce for about that price. What bothered me even more was that no one mentioned the charge when I placed my order. It wasn't until I picked up my food and saw the receipt that I realized I had been charged extra. Customers deserve to know about additional charges before they order, not after the fact. When I politely asked why there was a $2.50 charge, the employee simply looked at me and said, "I don't know." There was no explanation, no offer to ask someone else, and no attempt to address a perfectly reasonable question. That level of customer service was just as disappointing as the surprise charge. The burger was excellent, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. At this point, I don't plan on coming back. Or maybe I'll just bring my own lettuce next time. Better yet, just give me the burger without the bun, and I'll wrap the damn thing myself when I get home.
