Ritz Diner - Diners Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I honestly want to give this place more stars, but today was our first time there for brunch and even though they had an amazingly large menu and rave reviews from the party that met us there, my husband and I ended up getting almost the same thing and we both had diarrhea all day. I hate to be blunt and disgusting but buyer beware. First of all, let me tell you we got a burger. I got a patty melt well done and towards the end it was a little on the pink side, but I had eight probably 80% of it so I just didn't say anything but a cup of soup was navy bean and it wasn't even hot soup but again, that is my fault because I should've woke up, but it was also my friends 50th birthday today so I did not want to cause a problem Once my husband and I left, we both felt sick to our stomachs. My husband also got a burger and everything was fine except he got the same bean soup as well and we both had horrible indigestion and diarrhea all day to the point where that was around 12:45 PM and right now I am messaging this review at 9:03 PM on the same day. I just wanna let you know if something doesn't seem right at this place, make sure you speak up and say something because to be quite honest with you. It's not worth it to go through the whole day feeling sick when I should've spoke up so nothing really was wrong except for the food, but I should've really mentioned something to the waitress Her service was excellent. The place was very clean. The salad bar looked great. The menu looked great, but somehow the barely warm soup tainted our stomachs and ruined our day. Would I ever go back to this restaurant? I might give it a second chance and be very cautious but honestly, I am not quite sure at this point once my tummy starts settling down. Maybe I will change my tune, but to be honest with you most likely I won't go back. There are just too many other places that have better outcomes and that don't make me have to go to the potty 8 to 10 times in one day with horrible diarrhea and a sick stomach Have a good night and learn your lesson through me, if you feel that your meal is not good. Make sure you grab someone and let them know immediately. Save yourself a day full of diarrhea read more

We have eaten here twice. I got the chicken croquettes the first time and they were good but the fake turkey gravy from a can or package ruined it for me. I got corn as a side dish and it was awful. My husband got a grilled cheese sandwich with ham but it was more like a grilled ham sandwich with cheese. He said it was okay but not like a grilled cheese at all. The second time I tried one of my diner favorites, a French dip. The bread was good, the meat was good, but the jus tasted like it was from a can or package. Could only eat about a quarter of the sandwich because the jus was so bad. The fries were okay and the little bit of coleslaw was good. My husband got the turkey dinner with stuffing the second time and he thought it was pretty good but not great. He thought the turkey tasted like it was roasted in-house. They forgot to give him cranberry sauce. He had the same complaint about the gravy that I had when I got the chicken croquettes. I don't expect them to listen to me because I assume they have been running a fairly successful restaurant since long before I moved to the area, but they could really up their game if they would fix their sauces and gravies. I don't know how much harder it is to make the real stuff in a restaurant but I would think it would be even easier than doing it at home. And it would certainly make me come back for more! I think we gave it our best shot. Time to look elsewhere for good diner food. read more

I had a bad experience with my meal and because I had gone to them for so many years I just really wanted to let them know of my experience and what had happened. I explained to A young lady who I think was a manager that I Left on a business trip, but I still had the food (That I purchased on Friday - I'm calling on Tuesday after the holiday) so that they knew that we didn't eat it and we were not just trying to come back and get a whole other meal For free. You know how some people do. Anyway, the young lady told me to call back the next morning and speak to the owner. I said no problem again reiterated that I love the place never had an issue before. Just wanted to let them know about this one bad experience that I had. I was able to give a call at 11 AM when I asked to speak to the owner. They said the owner wasn't there, but the manager was there so I said OK I'll speak to the manager. The gentleman gets onto the phone and I explained to him who I am, he then proceeds on yelling at me saying that it doesn't make any sense calling a whole week later and I'm talking bad about the restaurant. I stopped him after that sentence and said wait a minute that is completely not what's going on and I explain to him like I did to the other young lady. We have come to you for years. I'm not coming to necessarily say you need to replace my food if you're saying no you don't want to replace it. That is perfectly fine but I wanna let you know that you know it was a little bad smelling and that you know check your sauces from now on moving forward. I would check my food before I left or i.e. my family would check our food before we leave to make sure that this situation didn't happen again, but again we just wanted to let them know of the experience. He continues to yell at me, then proceeds on yelling. We will remake the meal. Just tell me when you're coming in and will remake it Ummmm No, thank you sir cause right now I do not feel comfortable at all with you remaking anything for me the way that you just spoke to me and yelled at me and then told me I held the food for a week. I then explained to him that I held the food again so that they would know we didn't eat it and we weren't trying to scam them to get another free meal.he yells again we will remake it. You tell me when you're coming and I'll have it remade. I'll remake it for you. I said OK I'll be there the next day at 11 o'clock, which would be Thursday. After I got off the phone, I sat here and thought about how this man just talked to me and how he just yelled at me legit just tried to make me feel bad and tell me that I was talking bad about a restaurant when I literally hadn't even wrote a review yet wasn't even going to write a review. Just literally again wanted to let them know about an experience because I thought that they value their customers opinions and if something was wrong, even if they couldn't fix it because of the timeframe they could at least have said you know we're sorry about your experience you know but yeah next time make sure you check your food before you go. After about five minutes I called back was placed on hold for about eight minutes. Nobody ever picked back up I hung up and called back again. My phone call was automatically disconnected. I called back the third time. The gentleman answers the phone again. I told him you know what never mind don't worry about it. I will not be coming back tomorrow to get my food. I don't feel comfortable you making my food. I don't feel comfortable with the conversation we just had so thank you but no thank you I just know moving forward if and when I ever do come back that I will check my food before I leave. You know what he did he started yelling at me again saying no I told you I would make your food. I said I would make your food. I said to him again I don't feel comfortable with the way you're talking to me so no I don't feel comfortable with you making my food no thank you I just wanna let you know you do not expect me tomorrow. I am OK. I just know better for next time. read more

Have been going there for years and well priced, lots of options and decent staff. Due to mobility issues, I have ordered several times thru grub hub and uber eats. The diner has forgotten to put items in order. Ordered sides that corn was an option and they send me an ear of corn. Ordered hot dogs and they were on hoagie rolls, no relish that was requested but a dozen ketchup packs. 40.00 and disappointed. read more

First and foremost, me and hubby want to do a SHOUT-OUT to Sarahjean. She was on-point and exact as hell! Like we didn't have to ask for re-fills, she brings the drinks out before we even have the chance of letting her know. She doesn't over-do it or ignore you. She was exact, I don't know how she do it but her service is definitely exceptional!!! We started with Mozzarella sticks and Chicken Bow Tie soup. Both were very delicious. The breading of the Mozzarella sticks seems like seasoned. The Chicken Bow Tie soup weren't overly salty, it was just right. Hubby play it safe by ordering Cheeseburger, which he likes alot. While I order the Broiled Seafood with Lobster. The entree is huge, my hubby regret ordering his burger he wanted mine instead lol. I can only finish half of that entree, definitely worth the $30. We want to try desserts but we were so stuffed, so we said next time. read more

At the corner of Roosevelt Blvd & Rhawn St, where once an old Wawa stood, you will find The Ritz Diner. A family owned and operated traditional diner. As regulars here, the Ritz has become a staple for a pressure free, affordable, consistent meal any time of day. Waitstaff works as a team and help one another as needed. Additionally it has been primarily the same for over the years we have come here; loyal employees with low turnover. Now Ritz is a diner so, don't expect Michelin star food - do expect lots of options, large portions, service with a smile and affordable pricing. The place fills up quick on the weekends and the parking lot can get sometime chaotic but when the urge to not cook sets in don't overlook the Ritz. read more

My son and I went for dinner last night because I didn't get around to cooking and we were hungry. I like this place because they have a salad bar and everything in the salad bar seems to be pretty fresh and I love salad bars. I ordered the stuffed flounder with two baked potatoes and my son got one of his usuals which is just a short stack with bacon. The plan was for my son to eat one of the baked potatoes but they were so big we shared one and I have one leftover for tonight. I'm so glad they've improved from my first experience. I think sometimes the waitstaff can be hit or miss but last night we liked our waitress, wish I remembered her name read more

Ritz Diner is a great place to have a good breakfast. I've always enjoyed coming here and being immediately greeted by a friendly smile. The restaurant is spacious, always clean, and never full where you have to wait to be seated/served. The food tastes great, my omelet was so cheesy. I LOVED IT! Our server, Connie, was a sweetheart- I didn't have to ask for anything extra because she was on it. More coffee? She was ready to pour more. It's so great knowing that this place is around the corner for me. read more

My husband and I frequent the Ritz Diner at Rhawn and the Boulevard. I recently had a fall and injured my mouth. I have been eating meals that are soft and easy to chew. Last week I ordered their senior flounder stuffed. I've had it three times in one week. I didn't see any filler but pieces of crab meat inside. It was delicious. You really can't beat their meals and each of the severs are super. Everyone at the Ritz is like family, especially Huseyin and Esra read more

Came here for lunch the other day. Service was good, but food was very bland. Seemed like it was definitely catered to a much older population. Nothing was salted. Ordered cream of broccoli soup... it was so tasteless. Barely tested broccoli... we added a ton of salt and pepper to give it some kind of flavor, but it didnt help much. I ordered California burger and fries... no salt/seasoning on fries and sadly 0 flavor again. My 9 year old ordered a kids burger and they charged us for an adult burger! Didn't even give him the pickle and Cole slaw for the adult burger we were charged for. Overall left dissapointed this time around. I have eaten here before and enjoyed their chicken parm although sizing is inconsistent and you do run into bland food often. read more

Back in November of 2019, I flew back to Philly to spend Thanksgiving with my family. On the last full day of my trip, my Uncle and Aunt decided to take me out for a nice breakfast at one of their favorite places which excited me because this girl lives for a good breakfast and it did not disappoint! It gave me Denny's and Norm's (LA 24 hr) vibes of old school, down home basic all American food. Both my Aunt and I got our orders mixed up (wrong) and our waitress was so apologetic and sincere (especially after a long wait to be served although the restaurant was not busy- you could tell they have their older regulars).....but because the food was so good and fulfilling we decided to keep our orders received. My hashbrowns were brown and crispy, my sausage was on point and my omelette was nice and cheesy! GOOD JOB! read more

Ritz Diner at the intersection of Roosevelt Blvd and Rhawn, is a fairly typical roadside diner in Northeast Philadelphia. Its menu is likewise standard fare, with a full page of breakfast possibilities on the back. That's what I was there for, and it only took a minute to decide I wanted their Ritz Omelet (onion, green pepper, tomato and hot Italian sausage), with Rye Toast and bottomless mug of Java. Service was very good and it was beautifully presented within minutes of ordering. First observation was that it looked to be a three egger with filling enough for a smaller shell. Its pants were too big for its body, as both ends were a couple inches of egg without anything within. It tasted fine although the heat from the sausage failed to materialize very often. It was still enough for me, especially with the well buttered toast and refills of coffee brought to me by my friendly server. So, I am not complaining, but only making an observation, and suggestion that if I was aware of this imbalance, others would be too, and perhaps adjustments should be made. Didn't see much in the way of in-house bakery goods, nor a bar, nor even a traditional counter with spinners for the solitary traveler. Adequate parking in front. read more

I love and appreciate the Ritz Diner for the simple fact that it used to be a Wawa. Located on the corner of Rhawn Street and the boulevard, it has become one of my favorite diners in Northeast Philadelphia. Parking in the lot is scarce, especially on weekends in the morning. Sometimes parking on a side street may be your best bet. We walked in around 9:45am on a Sunday expecting a wait, but we were seated right away. Our waitress came over promptly and greeted us and asked if we wanted coffee to start. Our waitress was wonderful, although, I regret not getting her name. Very friendly young lady. I ordered the Eggs Benedict without the Canadian bacon with a side of home fries. The home fries were like crispy mashed potatoes. Not my favorite style home fries, but still pretty decent. My boyfriend ordered the Western omelette. It came with the same home fries, but the omelettes are nicely sized at the Ritz. And the whole menu is cheap! For the two of us, it was about $25. I've always enjoyed myself at the Ritz and I will most certainly be back. read more

I came in today for a burger but I got perfection. My cheeseburger had cheese, red onions, lettuce, thick tomato, side of coleslaw and a pickle. Sorry guys for not posting a pic but I ate it so fast.

As a new Diner.... I was impressed with the food the service and the atmosphere. Yes the reviews on Yelp are not so promising by others. but I had no issues. I ordered the creamed chipped beef special on white toast with home fries. The food came out in about 5 minutes. it was nice and hot. The home fries were done just right. And the coffee was actually very good. Waitress was great always came back to the table to see if I needed anything. filled up my coffee cup with more coffee. The only major issue I have is parking is very limited. so be prepared to park around the corner and walk a little bit sometimes. There actually is a guy that works at the Diner. that sits outside on a chair and makes sure that anyone that is parking in the lot of the Diner. is actually going to eat there and not park and walk some where esle. I would definitely come back again for breakfast or even lunch.... read more

Food is great and the waitress Brianna was very respectful and so patient give her a raise

Was there yesterday and had Kerry as our server. I had to ask for straws, napkins, utensils, and the final blow was when I wanted a refill and she was no where to be found for at least 15 20 minutes. I finally got fed up and got up and another server was nice enough to fill me up. Don't recommend asking for Kerry when your there she kind of made us feel like we were an inconvenience. I'll consider other diners next time I'm in the area. The food was good tho. Service needs work. read more

Regardless of any negative remarks, my family and I have been here on numerous occasions and have never had a bad meal. Tonight was the ultimate test. I got the steak trio which included a 12oz ribeye, stuffed mushroom and a stuffed shrimp. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the seafood was delicious! I usually never order a steak at a diner for obvious reasons but I decided to try it. For the first time I was pleasantly surprised! It's a good stop and I highly recommend the Ritz! read more

First time visit. Went on Saturday, wasn't crowded I will attribute to covid I guess first off ,ick ...dirty ladies room .no paper in one stall ,used toliet paper all over another stalls floor .Hand dryer didn't work ..Am I picky and overly critical ,no ..I used the ladies room twice ,before our meal ,and after ;a span of at least thirty minutes I was surprised at the size of the breakfast platters, lots of food good stuff, a side plate of hash browns, overflowing . We were a party of four, two kids, two adults. I asked repeatedly for napkins, to supplement the four that were left at the table. I use more than 4 napkins I'm a slob,and we had the kids so ..... finally I just gave up and used the baby wipes that were in my purse. Shouldn't be that way I ordered the matzo ball soup and it was delicious probably the best I've ever had in a diner. If we ever were to go back it would be just for the soup.... The kids had standard kids meals, good stuff not outstanding but certainly they liked it ... it would have a higher rating here is someone cleaned up the bathroom ,slow day ,but even if it wasn't that should be cleaned up ....ugh read more

This diner feels Covid19 safe when you enter. service was prompt and friendly. The menu offers a discounted senior citizen menu. I ordered the turkey dinner. It came with a really nice garden salad or a choice of soup. While the salad impressed, with fresh spinach, Romaine and iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato and ,green pepper, the turkey dinner was standard diner fare, with what looked like cold cut turkey slathered with yellow gravy. Not impressive. The spinach tasted like it came out of a can. I couldn't eat it. I will say that the portions are huge. I went there for a meeting. I'd go back for coffee but not for dinner.
