    After an early morning drop-off at the airport, we ducked into Folcroft Diner for breakfast. More times than not I order something non-breakfast-y for my first meal of the day. Today was no exception. Their grilled chicken sandwich was not what I hoped for. On the plus side, it was a generous portion of chicken, most of which I took home. As a negative -- at least for me -- I like a flat filet, with grill marks. This was "chunky," rendering it clumsy to eat. It simply didn't taste grilled at all. And the chicken was dry. T ordered a country omelet that was filled with breakfast meats, cheddar and peppers. Though not my thing, I agreed it was pretty good. His grits were creamy, buttery and delicious. Coffee is strong and served in the old-fashioned heavy mugs that I favor. Our server was friendly. ("Where are you from?" she asked, picking up on my Brooklyn accent.) I asked if Greek lemon soup is ever on the menu. She said that the owners are Turkish, then gave me a rundown of their specialties, all of which sound delish. (Alas, no avgolemono.) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Folcroft. The menu is diverse, the restaurant is clean -- as pointed out by another Yelper AND our waitress. If you order the right thing, you'll no doubt be pleased.

    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.

    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!

    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.

The location…read morewasn't too difficult to find thanks to the map, but it is slightly off the beaten path for sure. The guy working in the kitchen was very nice and recommended a cheesesteak for lunch. Amoroso rolls were what he told me they use for bread. They have several tables for dine in and the place was well heated for a cold winter day. It was simple and clean inside. My cheesesteak was average, it was pretty greasy and flavor wise wasn't bad. I'm not a huge fan of amoroso rolls for cheesesteaks, the grease also soaked into the roll quite a bit. The portion size was small, but the for the price I think it was on par. I think I paid just under $6 for the sandwich. I'll have to return for breakfast which seems to have much better reviews!

The GPS will direct you to take the unpaved ominous looking road of 'Calcon Hook' but it's not the only way in Chester Pike to Sharon Avenue is an alternative. Once you locate the restaurant it will remind you of a trailer, in a movie about construction workers. Inside it's spacious with plenty of seating and fairly clean considering the age and lack of updates. On this date I'll give a little leeway to service because the cook was in the hospital and the lady 'owner' was alone. But I'm here to tell you she worked that grill, those phone calls, the counter and tables! I ordered the hungry man special 3 eggs, home fries, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 French Toast and 2 pancakes all for $6.99! It was good and plentiful. Each item was enjoyable. I have to say I had several cups of coffee and it's some of the best around. Next time I'll bring a book to read as I sip my coffee and wait!

We were met by the friendliest and most hospitable young lady I think I have ever met in a restaurant. She talked to every other customer in the place as if she knew them, which I thought was very impressive. The food was very good, the peppers and onions made the home fries. When finished we had a chance to talk with the waitress and she was a complete delight to speak with. She offered to let us put a pin in our home town of Omaha Nebraska on the U.S. map that was on the wall that had several similar pins from other customers. My wife and I agree that this stop was probably the BEST! part of our whole trip to Philadelphia.

Once inside Miller's cafe is a clean and organized restaurant. Although the furniture is dated and well let's just say 'inexpensive' it's not broken or damaged. The walls are nicely decorated with a farmhouse feel but modern items from places like Bed Bath and Beyond or Home Goods. The carpet was clean not soiled with food stains or the last person sitting at your tables meal. This place is really cute and appears to be an all female staff. Okay GIRL POWER! As for my experience there is a large breakfast menu and lots of daily specials. I went with the PHILLY style cheesesteak with eggs on a nice soft roll but authentic cheesesteak style. This came with home fries casserole, potatoes with fried onions, fried green peppers and melted cheddar cheese. My server multitasked cleaning, serving etc., all with a pleasant demeanor. My meal was a great value for $7.95. At the end I added a Pepsi I was a little disappointed when I was told it was fountain soda but not to worry it had the necessary kick. I had a very good experience and I'll be back very soon!

I'm not saying that I would come here if I wasn't staying on site, but for someone who spends 100 nights or more a year in hotels, I've seen some pretty bad breakfasts... I think I was most surprised by the potatoes that were actually crispy and not soggy like the norm. Eggs, bacon, sausage, variety of breads and muffins and a few juice options filled the void. Service wasn't great, but the hostess did offer me a carafe of coffee. So again, the need was met. If you're staying at the doubletree and want a quiet place to be left alone to eat a quick breakfast before catching a flight or hitting the road, the Landing is a decent option!

Overwhelming smell of pot at entrance and could smell throughout restaurant. It's a "seat yourself place" which works when the staff has clean tables for patrons to sit. Not the case here. After asking 3 times we cleaned a table so we could sit. Took the waiter 15 mins to make initial contact. He was pleasant once he did, but the wait was unnecessarily long. Ordered 2 glasses of wine which we grabbed at bar bc they never arrived. Chicken Caesar Salad and burger was flavorful. Ordered soup too but never received it. When asked, the waiter said they were out and forgot to tell us. So, not great service and ok food. It's a shame as it's the only place to eat in reasonable/late walking distance. The hotel has a relative monopoly on food/drink service and could make it a much better experience w better talent management.
