    I arrived in Philly and was very hungry. My day started at 330am. This was during the Microsoft issue in July '24. The airlines had tons of cancelations and late arrivals. I was supposed to arrive at 9am, but ended up arriving at around 2pm. It's was too late for breakfast at most places. Well, not here. They serve breakfast all day long. This is a big, busy diner. I love these places. This place did not disappoint. I ordered the cornbeef hash, potatoes, and eggs. The meal came out and it was a lot of food. It was probably enough for two people. I was hungry, so I ate it all. Piggy piggy. It was as good or better than i expected. This breakfast at a hotel or some of the other restaurants would have been $20+ . Not at Folcroft. Even with the tip, I didn't go over $20. The wait staff was very attentive, and everyone worked together. The place was nice and clean. Everyone was nice. I will be coming back again.

    Cream chipped beef
    Felice L.

    The service was great! The food was very good! The restaurant was very clean. I had the cream chipped beef which I loved. My husband had a big breakfast with pancakes, french toast, eggs, hash browns, bacon & sausage. He liked everything except the bacon. He said it was too greasy. We will definitely be back.

    The Food was amazing.My only problem is that my home fries were not crunchy, everyone else had crunchy home fries, even the toddler. ):

    If you leave this place hungry it's not their fault. The Folcroft Diner Serves up exceptional comfort food in a comfortable diner setting. Reasonable prices are the norm here! Service is great. Kind and caring wait staff. Their daily specials are always super tasty at a great price. I sometimes get another meal out of their specials so that's double the fun! You'll never do you wrong coming here for a meal.

    Stuffed Mushrooms
    Sarah S.

    A decent diner but not award winning like I had heard. We took a longer drive to get here than I would've for a basic diner. Tried the stuffed mushrooms they were good but basically crab cakes on a mushroom. Sweet potato veggie was delicious. French onion soup was also good but nothing special.

    JEEZ LOUISE ! This place is Astronomical omg!! You definitely have to try the french toast. I took one bite and almost passed out from excitement !!! The waffle was PACKED with flavor! Talk about 5 star dining! The waitress is someone I'll always remember, super personable and very attentive!

    Cheesesteak Omelette
    Eric D.

    One of my favorite places to go to is a diner. 90% of the time the food is exactly what you need. It's quick and comes with a coffee that just feels familiar. You sit down in the booth with the paper place mat with the local ads and you are instantly transported to the heart of whatever city you are in. The staff is super friendly and attentive for the fact that it's a busy spot with only about a handful on staff. I got the Cheesesteak Omelette since I'm in Philly and it was great. Exactly what you picture in your mind it is. The home fries are crispy and seasoned well, but ketchup takes it up a notch. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot make this on your list.

I placed my order, got my silverware and table number and sat down to wait for them to bring it out, very efficient way to do things. When my food arrived, an omelet with mushrooms, onions, sweet Italian sausage, and cheddar cheese, my eyes grew wide. Before digging in I popped a stray mushroom that was sitting on top of omelette before taking the photo. Immediately noticed the amount of flavor of the mushroom alone, it prompted me to ask if they were marinated, the chef/owner came out after I was done and said she takes baby bella mushrooms, cuts them up and sautees them in salt pepper garlic, "no cans here' she said and you can tell. Upon digging into the omelette I found it to be loaded with the ingredients I had chosen, even distribution, I mean just look at that cross section! The potatoes were seasoned well and delightfully crispy. Prices were more than fair for the quality. They definitely care, they definitely put out excellent food, and I think they'll definitely succeed, even with being in a tough spot parking wise...I'm local to Norwood but I'll gladly pay the meter every time if it means I get to enjoy more of the Good Vibes Only!

And to top it off, the side of fried fish (I had the Swai) was awesome. It was nice to meet Chef Reeky and give him his props for the amazing food and great atmosphere.

Both times the food was clearly prepared with care and attention to details. This time, I ordered the Sweetest Taboo Breakfast that came with deliciously flavorful and fluffy waffles, although they were a little chewy. The chicken tenders were clearly cut and breaded by hand, seasoned to perfection! Last time I ordered chicken and waffles, but with wings...they were also good, but had a few little feathers still stuck them. I definitely prefer the tenders. The crispiness of the breakfast potatoes did not survive my short drive home, but they were also seasoned to perfection! And also portioned to share. The last time I ordered these, I added onions which seemed to be cooked on the side, and then just thrown into the box...so again I preferred them without this add on. Finally, the stuffed French toast...which is actually unforgettable. It was delicious both times I had it, crispy on the outside with fluffy cream cheese in the center that balance the sweetness of cinnamon sugar, syrup, berries, and the drizzle on the outside. Once again portioned to share! Basically: Chef Reeky's is a place to get your friends or family together, order anything that looks good and be prepared to make plates and have a bite of everything!

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

    I, like other reviewers, received a solid block of inedible meat instead of the short rib I…read moreordered. Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given.

I'm not sure why I waited so long to try the chicken at Bud and Marilyn's, but better late than never! They serve a LARGE 1/2 chicken. I started with the thigh. I was smitten by the first bite. I was told the chicken is soaked in a buttermilk brine for 24-48 hours - dipped in a buttermilk dredge - covered with their 'secret recipe' seasoned flour - and fried in a 'pressure fryer' that cooks the chicken in 12 minutes. It was perfectly fried - so crispy - the texture and seasoning of the exterior coating was incredible. The chicken was tender and juicy - the thigh was the juiciest - I didn't get to try the drumstick as I was too full! I had the thigh and 1/2 the breast. The breast is my favorite and I savored each large delicious piece I broke apart. It's important to pick up the chicken and eat it by hand - I did cut mine in half for a picture - but didn't use a fork to eat it - you lose the 'panache'of the meal. I didn't use the hot sauce served with the chicken - I brought my own bottle of honey and poured it over the chicken and biscuits. It was heavenly! Which brings me to the Biscuits! The dish comes with 2 large fluffy buttermilk biscuits - they were golden brown on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside! They had such a rich, buttery flavor. I took several pieces of chicken and layered them on pieces of biscuit, drizzled with honey! It was truly a 5 star fried chicken and biscuit dinner!
