You'd likely drive past this diner without giving it a second thought. But the sign reading…read more'homemade bread' caught my attention. After fasting for a blood test this morning, I said to T, "let's give Ace a try." And I'm glad we did. The building goes back about ninety years, maintaining its old-fashioned ambience ... or what one might consider lack thereof. The menu is more limited than what you'd find in contemporary diners, but they had what I wanted, a western omelet. Served with coarse buttered grits -- delicious! -- the omelet was better (and cheaper!) than what I ordered in Florida's popular "House of Omelets." So, dummy me, I didn't take a photo of the bread that brought me in, in the first place! (I was preoccupied with a phone call.) Eggs come with two thick slices of pre-buttered white bread toast, which I'm guessing makes excellent French toast. The diner is open for breakfast and lunch. While it wasn't busy mid-morning, takeout orders were flying out the door. Apparently Ace Diner is no secret to locals.

Bill: $41.00. both of our grits were returned, they must have run out from the morning rush bec our grits were like eating fork fulls of sand. (Sent them both back immediately) my home fries, tasted like they were sitting on the grill for 3 days. OLD as siht. (didn't eat at all) . Asked for the menu back to see if the prices were were charged coincided with our bill. our omelets listed at $12 ea plus $1 for extras and 2 cups of coffee @ $2 ea. Call the manager over to explain her bill and of course she had another way of billing us. .The peppers and onions cooked into my home fries and my turkey bacon was an additional $5, our 2 cups of coffee was $5 ea. (apparently a sm mug of coffee equals a lg coffee bec its refillable) nevermind the sz of the cup. None of the add-on charges were ever mentioned while we were placing our order. Only after we inquired did we receive clearage as to what was going on. and although I was charge $5 for my disgusting grits and home fries, she would only remove $1 from the bill even though we didn't eat but half of the meals. Even our homemade toast was burnt and returned. Honestly, I feel she should have deducted one of our meals completely but I'm sure that never crossed her mind. The positive to our visit? The coffee was good and the waitress was attentive and very curteous. This long time visitor is no more. I've had ups and downs b4 with Aces but never this bad. Time to move on to better pastures.

I highly recommend Blue South and I don't do a lot of reviews. We had an early dinner and I can't…read moreremember the last time I had fish cooked and seasoned so perfectly. I mean PERFECTION. I had the whiting and it was amazing. I would go back and order just a plateful of fish if I could. But rest assured everything else was good too-- cornbread, greens, fries. The owner was attentive and kind. It was our server's first night and boy was he nervous. But he didn't have to be, because we are harmless (mostly) and he did a fabulous job! Shout out to that young man. There was also an amazing young singer who entertained us while we ate. I am so glad to see a place like this in Lansdowne. I hope they thrive and if this review can help them do so, then I have done my job. Definitely check it out.

I have…read moreonly had a few TooGoodToGo experiences so far- so I can't speak to restaurant experience except for what I have observed. Friendly staff who really care about their customers and all the different logistics. The two TooGoodToGos I have gotten reasonably consider that the app helps with minimizing waste. Some vendors seem to charge more if you purchase from them further ahead of time but Blue South considers price point- they match up the ID numbers to make sure you get what you paid for, and they offer a reasonable amount for what you Get. The first offer I got was cheaper and I was like this is okay. The quality is fine, nothing sticks out for me, and quantity is okay. I believe the first platter for me was chicken and greens only. I decided to try the higher priced item when it was available and I like that fuller offering. It's good advertising for them. The last time I went in there, even though I didn't see the customers, I could tell they were having a happy Friday evening birthday. I am sad to hear about the 30k contract issue. Running a restaurant especially now is difficult. Lansdowne downtown has been having a hard time, but I see the theater across the street is back up and this place seems to capture something that I think the community is looking for. Does Blue South have some kind of deal with the theater across the street such as if you buy a ticket you get a free appetizer or something like this? If the theater does jazz performers, Blue South could be nice for a VIP type session maybe before or after the main performance if possible.

Fast forward 12 years, and now its Antonio's Deli...let me tell you something......still AMAZING! My Brother and I came here for a breakfast hoagie. We got an Olde Italian to split since we were going to Reading Terminal Market right after. How was the hoagie? Delicious! The Olde Italian comes on the best bread in the land IMO (Sarcones...seeded roll...you just cant beat it!). So crusty and great texture. This sandwich had all the goodies on it including proscuitto, capicola and sopressata. They use a crumbled sharp provolone cheese here (think blue cheese crumbles, but sharp provolone!) that is so freaking good! The veggies include roasted red peppers, lettuce tomato and onion. They top it with some olive oil and seasonings. Hoagie perfection! This was my favorite sandwich that I ate in Philadelphia and my favorite sandwich on my 1 week trip back East! I LOVED IT. If you are in Philadelphia and want the best hoagie around, come here! I can't wait to go back to Philadelphia one of these years and try out some more of their sandwiches. Just perfect! Thanks, Antonio's!

Service is great and the delivery people are kind and personable.

I recently stopped in to pickup lunch sandwiches and entered in what we wanted on their ordering kiosk. The process was easy and then you have the great staff take care of you the rest of the way. Lots of classic sandwiches to choose from, but I love me a chicken cutlet inferno. Long hots, hot pepper cheese, fresh chicken cutlets on a seeded roll = Yum. My co-workers ordered a roast beef sandwich and a veggie hoagie - grilled and marinated eggplant, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers & aged sharp provolone. The roast beef was messy, but everyone was happy. While you wait, make sure you check out all the classic Italian specialty items they sell. The people working there are friendly and helpful. I always felt like Pastificio was similar to Primo hoagies, but slightly better because they didn't go big and stayed true to what makes them best. Service and quality. A solid area mainstay. Nothing that'll blow you away, but good, consistent above average sandwiches. Thanks guys!

Two things to know: (1) they are cash only and (2) although their address says "231 McClellan St, the deli is array behind McClellan St in Pennsport Plaza.

There is a private lot off to the side of the building that the store is located. There is also street parking located within a reasonable walking distance. The staff there was friendly enough, even though my interaction with them was limited. The store has all that you would want in a convenience store including scratch offs, beer, soda, juice, chips, and candy. It appeared very cluttered and dirty. There were boxes all over the floor. You will find a couple of booth tables in the store's small dining area. The booths were in bad shape and I had to weave between some boxes to get to them. It was nice to have the dine in option though because I had caught a bus to get her from my hotel. This place serves burgers, sandwiches, wings, fish, fries hoagies and steak and cheeses. I ordered the Jerk chicken cheesesteak sandwich, with a side of fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food. It was fresh and and delicious. It was packed with flavor and there was a ton of food. While I was there, they were receiving a a shipment of drinks, which caused them to leave the front door open. On a normal day this would not have been an issue, but it was a very cold day and I was freezing while I ate in the dining. area. I finished my food quickly to get out of there. This place has some very good food, but the location and cleanliness and order of the place is purely wretched. I was willing to accept that, but some people may not and so this review is just to make you aware.
