I love this spot so much. The owners are nice, the food is good and well priced. I think their schedule isn't super fixed and they open whenever they want. It's also cash only, but I find myself googling whether they're open every so often because I crave it. read more

I absolutely love this place. I've been here with my fianceé many times and we usually order to take out. The folks who run the place are so nice. Their breakfast sandwiches are to DIE for. My favorite sandwich is the hottie though the other breakfast sandwiches are also incredibly delicious. I'm not sure there's anywhere else in Philly that would beat this place when it comes to the pure art of making a breakfast sandwich. One of my favorite things to do on a weekend morning is to get a breakfast sandwich from Lisa's. The deliciousness of these sandwiches makes my entire weekend. read more

Heads Up: This business is Cash Only The owners of Lisa's Kitchen are friendly and tell good stories, for the 10 minutes I was there they managed to make me laugh and keep good conversation. I passed by this place one morning to try it out. I believe I got the Big Country and it definitely held up to its name. Overall, the food and service was good. This is the perfect breakfast for post hangover or for breakfast comfort food. read more

Love this place! I've been here with my fiancé like 10 times. The breakfast sandwiches are the best. They are simple but delicious and super filling. The best treat for a weekend breakfast. the owners are the ones making and prepping the food and they are very nice. The decor is interesting, lots of fishing decor but you're there for the amazing food, not the decor. Recommend for a great and tasty breakfast sandwich that is reasonably priced. Also helps with hangovers! read more

No nonsense cash only breakfast joint with tasty sandwiches. I ordered the ham egg and cheese topped with hash browns on a long roll. I think its called the Farm Hand. The bread was soft and chewy. It did its job of highlighting the sandwich contents well. Inside lay a generous helping of fresh fried eggs, crispy hash browns, thick slices of country ham, and salty American cheese. This was a massive and delicious sandwich with lots of salt, fat, and flavor. Great for a Saturday breakfast. read more

I never understood the appeal. When I moved back to Philly, I used to pass this place on the way to my grandparent's home. I have never been a fan of the 'traditional American breakfast'-as in I find French toast dreadful, runny egg yolks (or any egg dish) disgusting, pancakes boring and omelets a waste of time and calories. In light of that, sitting in a tiny, parlor sized eatery while an unpleasant woman at the grill tersely put together bargain priced sandwiches full of things that repulsed me was not my idea of a stellar way to start a morning. On the rare occasions I stopped in, it was to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese, a cup of tea and to pick up 2 take out bagels for my grandparents. There was nothing ever wrong with the bagels, but a lot wrong with the verbal abuse the male owner would 'humorously' heap on his father in law, who always seemed to be in attendance there as a meek diner. Perhaps one really had to be a serious and chronically hungover aficianado of greasy, runny, overstuffed, carb loaded junk food breakfast sandwiches to give Lisa's Kitchen a five star rating. Clearly I was never part of their target audience. read more

Went for breakfast, which is what you will be going there for as well cause of their hours. In short I loved the place. Run by two people who enjoy what they do and are proud of the place. I got the varsity (long roll). Ordered half to eat there and half to go home. The bread/meat/egg/cheese ratios are SPOT ON. I know the picture makes it look like it might be bread heavy but it works. The varsity is a big sandwich so plan accordingly. It's a solid breakfast sandwich spot. I felt good leaving Lisa's kitchen. All sandwiches come with egg, cheese, and that wonderful hash brown. You pretty much play around with the meat choices. I got the scrapple since I am new to Philadelphia. I liked it. I am not sure if everyone will. It's like meat loaf made with pork. The vibes are cool, plus it's one of those places that has sassy quotes on their wall and I am a sucker for those kind of places. read more

This place is a mom and pop place where you truly wish the owners were your parents. The sandwiches are ridiculously good, made fresh in front of you, and all come with a hash brown in your PEC? Phenomenal. The bread is great too and the prices are on point. What more could you ask for? I'm trying to become a regular because it is thaaat good, and the vibes in there were amazing. The owners know everybody who walks in, and they're super friendly and warm. Please visit this place, you won't regret it. Also FYI they're cash only! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches in a tiny shop. If you're looking for a meal on a roll at a reasonable price, check this place out. One recommendation is call in your order. First, there's not much room to wait. Second, they go until closing or until they're out of rolls, so you know you'll get your food. read more

All of these reviews are pretty spot on. It's a cash only, no frills, delicious breakfast place. Super small so only a few people can fit inside so know what you're going to order. Most people in there are regulars. They either do a kaiser or long roll but I'd opt for large since it's a much better bang for your buck. Portion size is great for an average of 5.50 for a large sandwich. A friend and I split one turkey baconator. Two hash browns on them too which was so tasty. Plenty of hot sauce and condiments if that's your style too. Also have OJ, chocolate milk, coffee, etc. read more

Lisas kitchen is the perfect quick breakfast spot! So many options (they even have turkey bacon) and lisa and her husband keep prices low so your huge bagel sandwich doesn't break the bank.

Stopped here after a nearby yoga class. The smell of bacon greets you as enter the shop. The owners (a husband and wife) greet you. She mans the grill while he jots down your order. I got a breakfast platter: the hash brown was crispy without excess oil, the eggs were exactly as ordered, bacon thick and perfectly crunchy and the coffee was fresh and hot. I will definitely stop by again if I find myself in this area. Ps street parking was readily available. Bring cash as it's the only form of payment they accept. read more

Love this place. No bullshit- I'd eaten here while seeking out scrapple on a trip to philly and when I decided to move here, proximity to Lisa's was a factor. It's a simple, classic product. Perfect for a hangover or after a morning run out on the wissahickon. I tend to go either Big Country or Big Scrapple (add hot peppers to any sandwich), but would also say you shouldn't sleep on the Hottie. All sandwiches are a robust 2ish pounds and should probably be eaten sparingly. Luckily the folks at Lisa's make sure you can't over-indulge by closing the restaurant for half the year ‍. Thing to consider- this is a grab and go spot. recommend calling your order in. read more

Upon calling Lisa's and placing my take-out order, I was initially pretty unhappy with the phone conversation and ready to place a negative review. However, this changed when we went inside to pick up our order. When I first called, the woman on the phone (who I assume was Lisa), was very short, did not allow me to finish my order, and seemed to rush me on the phone. I was left with a negative feeling after the conversation. When we came to pick up the orders, the people inside were very friendly, and the woman cooking started up a conversation with us, telling us about the cinnamon rolls and how much her friends loved them. The food was ready for us to grab when we walked in, and they managed to talk us into buying two cinnamon rolls as well. ***Important to note: They do not take cards! This was news to me, but luckily my partner had some cash on him. I did not see an ATM anywhere inside or nearby. The sandwiches were pretty greasy, but they tasted great and were exactly what we were looking for after a night out. I asked for two orders of hashbrowns with ketchup, but unfortunately only received one, with no ketchup. Maybe they didn't have ketchup to take home, but I wouldn't have known this based on the short conversation I had when placing my order. The cinnamon rolls were delicious, and probably the best part of the whole experience. Overall, the food was great and I enjoyed the friendly service when we came to pick up our orders. Took a couple stars off because of the lack of service on the phone and lack of an ATM, but I would come back, even if just for the cinnamon rolls. read more

This is the ultimate breakfast sandwich shop! Incredible low price for a big sandwich, a great start to your day if you've just been for a long run, have a long day of work ahead, or are hungover. Egg, cheese, protein, and a hashbrown all on a sub or a kaiser for about $4-$6? What could be better! Quality service, the owners are great and work really hard to make you happy. My favorite place to get breakfast in the neighborhood. The only things I will warn you of: there's no real seating area, if it's busy on a saturday morning you aren't going to want to stick around and eat there, it's very limited counter space. Also, call ahead! You only need ten minutes or so but still a good idea. read more

It is what it is - Lisa's Kitchen makes damn good breakfast sandwiches really fast. Call as you are leaving and once you have parked they will be ready. Great rolls, decent quality ingredients, perhaps not the cleanest but clean enough for what you are getting. Prices are very reasonable, portions are large, and the quality of the finished product likely exactly what you want on a hungover Sunday morning. I'd recommend the Baconator or the Lil' Scrapper... read more

This place is long overdue for a review. Although my check-in record says I've only been here twice, I've visited Lisa's Kitchen at least a dozen times. I love the breakfast food here--it's perfect for an on-the-go meal... Or a big hangover. My favorite thing to order is the Country Sandwich (Big or Little, depends on my appetite). The heart-stopping combo of egg, cheese, sausage, hash browns, and roll hits the spot every time. Plus, the price point is great. I can order a big breakfast for myself for under $5. They close between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and they don't cook on Mondays and Tuesday's. Otherwise, you can have breakfast to your heart's content! read more

If you live in the Yunk, (Manayunk) then this is a great find especially if you had too much fun the night before. Killer breakfast sandwiches with the hash browns on the sandwich on a good Italian roll. Very cheap. Funny service from the couple who own it. Like 10 seats top. So you may have a wait on the weekends. They are closed a lot. So call to make sure they are open. Maybe the best hangover restaurant in the city. Is that a category? If not it should be. read more

Don't get me wrong... The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I love them and I crave them every weekend, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. HOWEVER, I feel that on top of making good food, you should also treat your customers with respect. Every single time my husband calls in our order, he is treated with complete rudeness. He is a very kind and polite person, so I promise you it is not deserved and it makes no sense. She answers the phone and takes your order as if you're somehow inconveniencing her. No people skills whatsoever. Never any shred of kindness or happiness... Just a completely miserable person. We can't be the only ones who experience this. As much as we love the food, we've decided we can no longer support this business. It's a shame because we live literally one block away and we love the food, but we no longer feel like paying someone to be mean to us every weekend for simply ordering food from them. read more

I'll start by advocating that Village Whiskey lives up to its title of having the best burger in…read morePhilly. I visited for lunch during Restaurant Week, which I enjoyed because of its close proximity to the corporate hub in Center City where I work and for its solid menu. I was seated quickly at a high-top for my noon reservation. The restaurant is much larger inside than it looks, split in half with the left providing an upscale bar aesthetic while the right presents a quieter, modern lounge feel. (It seemed like service staff was directing those with previously-booked OpenTable RSVPs to the lounge side.) Service was great, as my waitress continuously checked in during my meal even as more customers arrived throughout the lunch period. I appreciated being offered to add fries on my burger order, as Village Whiskey didn't have it automatically added on the RW menu. The only drawback was she forgot to ask how I wanted my burger cooked, but it came out medium rare which is the way I eat it regardless. I trust that's how they default, which is a good sign. The Food Breakdown: Deviled Eggs (4/5) - Classic, solid, and a good starter. I honestly selected it since the other appetizer options didn't really appeal to me, but nothing spectacular or negative about it. Four comes with each order. All-American Burger (5/5) - Fantastic. I'm not a pickle enjoyer, but the acidity just blended into each juicy bite. The jam had a slight kick, and you can taste the fattiness within the double Wagyu smash patties. High-quality all around and a solid portion size. Duck Fat Fries (4/5) - They were well-seasoned, and each order comes with a small side of ketchup. Granted I didn't ask, but I almost wish they offered a spicy mayo instead because it would complement the crunchiness better. Overall, the food quality and taste were superb. My only caveat was the price, knowing that $35 after tax and gratuity for lunch (without an additional drink) is costly. I wouldn't be able to come everyday, but it certainly has my vote for sharing with others the destination that has an immaculate burger.

I'm not sure how accountable this review will be, as I did take out not stayed. They were having happy hour but it didn't count for me as I was take out I guess. I got the mozzarella sticks were bomb with the sauce and I got the creamy Mac and cheese. I was excited for the Mac and cheese because I had one last night that was amazing from somewhere else. I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

Last night was my 40th birthday and our original dinner spot didn't have room for us in the end…read more The weather was nice so lots of people were out around Rittenhouse Square, and we felt SOL for dinner plans. On a whim, I called Butcher Bar and told them I know it's last minute on a Saturday night, but could they accommodate 9 people. They told me if we were there in 30 minutes they could make it work, so we rushed over. We sat at the bar for drinks as they cleaned up a table. They overheard us talking about how The Trough would be nice (feeds 8 for $300, but was more than enough for us 9), and said if we wanted that they could get it started as the table was prepared. We said yes, and were sat a few minutes later with drinks in hand. Jenna (Gema? She had grape earrings) was a fantastic server and just so kind and attentive. She kept the drinks flowing and The Trough arrived sooner than I expected and was everything I wanted for dinner and more. I can't thank Butcher Bar enough for saving the night for my 40th and just providing a fantastic experience. We'll be back, and we promise to give more notice next time! :)

Some new items on the menu so I figured I would go through a new review:…read more Carrot Soup: This replaces their old root vegetable soup, and they thankfully kept it vegetarian. It was much better than their root vegetable soup, and I was quite fond of that soup. It's honestly nothing like anything else on the menu. It has an indian? maybe? taste to it. It's so good. there is these juicy white raisins inside, some sliced almonds (not treenut friendly), and some sort of white yogurt sauce with micro greens. really a fantastic flavor pallet and the actual soup texture is smooth minus the toppings. Cashew Hummus: okay so here's my thing. I find that this restaurant in particular does such a disservice with their menu item descriptions. Based off of the description of this dish, I would think it's probably decent at best, and might not even order it. luckily I had a sixth sense to know this would be amazing. it's truly so good. it's a hummus layer topped with a bunch of seasoned roasted vegetables and chickpeas. The flavors are great and the textures are also great. I wouldn't have known it was cashew hummus if you didn't tell me. it's honestly not that large, so if you really like vegtables and hummus i'd get your own or split with only one person. if everyone is demure, it could go four ways. also! I don't think it comes with bread. it didn't come with bread this recent visit, but I am not sure if that was a mistake or that's how it is. But, to be safe, i'd save your bread you get at the begining to use for this. this is a must get every time I go. Dandelion salad: I only order this for my welsh rarebit. I like to eat my welsh rarebit with some of the salad since the acid cuts the fatty cheese. but, I will say, it's a very good salad. my favorite part is the thinly sliced celery pieces. it has a bunch of varying greens, celery, avocado, cucumber. all dressed in a lemony dressing. it's very simplistic and that's why I think it's so good. it's quite large, and would be a great "for the table" order so that everyone has some fresh bites with their rich entrees. Welsh Rarebit: my favorite. if you don't know what welsh rarebit is, it's basically fancy cheese toast. think proper fondue cheese with Worcestershire, mustard, maybe guinness, melted on a thick piece of toast. so an open faced fancy grilled cheese. it's two big slices of toast. could easily be shared for the table but I prefer my own order. if you get this I recommend also getting the dandelion salad and eating them together. Chocolate Set: I haven't tried their other desserts, but I just know they are a waste of time compared to this. the chocolate set is a dense chocolate mousse with earl gray ice cream, chocolate nibs, and a few orange slices. it's so simple but so so good. texturally, amazing. the smoothness of the mousse with the crunchy nibs is the perfect contrast. the orange is bright, the ice cream is just great on its own and does so well paired with everything else. it can be shared 4 ways if you have demure people. my family of four just orders two and we get half each. that works for us, we would never be able to share one. all in all great service as always, great food, and obviously a gorgeous interior.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Cleavers…read more I accidentally left my bag here--with everything in it, including my ID--and we had a flight out the next day. I didn't even realize it right away, but somehow the team tracked me down at my hotel (!!). I was able to come back a couple hours later and everything was exactly as I left it. A huge thank you to Zktlko (I hope I'm spelling that right) who went out of his way to make sure I got it back. That level of care is rare and meant so much in a stressful moment. And on top of that--the food is incredible. We had the hoagies, and they were hands down the best cheesesteaks we tried in the city. Amazing people, amazing food. Grateful we stopped here.
