    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.

    Simple, classic, and fairly priced. Always a great experience. I really like the steak, egg, and cheese on a long roll

    Farm Hand Breakfast Sandwich
    Jack M.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It's Sunday morning, you just woke up and you're sooooooo hungry but you don't have time or want to pay for expensive brunch. Well good news for you! 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. My boyfriend and I finally made it here this weekend and we're so happy to support this yummy neighborhood spot!

    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.

    Wow! What a hidden gem ! I've driven past this lil place in the tuck , sooooo many times and never noticed it until I went on maps in my phone and searched breakfast & brunch so glad I did. Called in my order and the guy was so nice . Enormous Sandwiches for the money , it was excellent keep up the great job. I'm a very picky person so this a great find for me will definitely tell friends and return again soon

    If you have yet to try one of Lisa's breakfast sandwiches, shame on you. Cash only. Call ahead or drop in to place your order, and chat with the wonderful owners as they whip up your breakfast right in front of you. There are a few seats if you decide to dine in. Food is cheap, comes in two sizes, the baby and regular versions, and is OUT OF THIS WORLD

    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.

The wait staff informed me that there was NO ROOM for us in the EMPTY seating area, so we were seated next door in the bar area. If you can tell me why there was no room in an empty restaurant for a party who arrived ON TIME, please someone let me know. At any rate the bar area was fun and lively but a bit narrow to navigate. Since it was happy hour, we ordered all of the $6 Snacks and some $8 snack items. OOOK, here we go: Hot chicken slider( you only get 1 folks) very good and had the right amount of toppings 5/5 Pulled pork slider: Very flavorful, juicy, and tender: 5/5 Caesar salad: 5/5 Deviled eggs. Good, but too salty Fried pickles: Good, but too salty Chicken & Andouille Gumbo: This was excellent. The braised chicken thighs were seasoned well and very tender. The pickled red onions really elevated this dish. 5/5 The grilled salmon had a great char and crunch. It was not dry nor over cooked. 5/5 The burger was delicious just as a burger should be and the famous duck fat fries were very crunchy. 5/5 for both Happy hour is really the time to go, but make sure they honor your reservation. Til we eat again....

    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! :)

I'd heard the fish and chips were something special here, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. A generous piece of fish, fried beautifully -- not greasy at all -- that flaked perfectly with every bite. My niece doesn't eat fish, and even she took a bite and approved. High praise. But honestly? The star of the evening were the Madras Curry deviled eggs. Outstanding. Truly. And the dip with the perfectly toasted bread was equally impressive -- everything was prepared with real care. The drinks were lovely, and the atmosphere is in a category all its own. There is so much to look at. You could spend hours in there and still not catch everything on the walls. It's the kind of place that earns a second visit just to take it all in. Highly recommend -- whether it's a birthday, a date, or any excuse to get to Philly.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere. The indoor dining area felt quite dark, but the restaurant appears to have multiple levels, including an upstairs dining area and a bar, which adds to its charm. I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.
