Our family has been eating at Sabrina's since Robert and Raquel Abreu opened their first location many years ago. This rave review applies to all their locations except the airport as we've never eaten there. It's a great concept beautifully executed: take a diner, improve the food with better ingredients and more variety, serve big portions at very reasonable prices and you've got the Sabrina's idea. In the past 25 years or so, I don't remember ever getting anything here that wasn't good and many items are just delicious. Breakfasts are wonderful with lots of options and the sandwiches and platters are amazing. Plus, there's something for everyone from kids to elders. Be prepared to take some of your order home. Service is quick and friendly. I hope you like tattoos. We held my 60th birthday party at the old Christian St location. That's how much we love this place. The Mel's Chicken sandwich? Nothing like it. And you can get potato, sweet potato, or POLENTA fries! Great coffee. The South Street location has a bar. Breakfast and lunch ONLY. VERY busy for weekend brunch. Expect to wait. read more

Overcharged for items we expected to be included. For example- salad dressing! Burger overcooked. Plating Aesthetics not important. Nice light-filled ambiance. read more

I enjoyed visiting the Collingswood location especially for breakfast. But since I had some time before a flight, I thought to dine here. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with a side salad. While it tasted delicious and I would love to order it again, my service was very slow. (Keeping in mind that I had an hour before boarding, it took almost 40 minutes for food to arrive) It seemed my server took care of her other tables multiple times (not even refilling my only drink of water), while it took forever to get a to-go container, ask for my check, and then the agonizing wait to ring it up; talk about running down the clock. I would say if you are blessed with at least 1.5 hours before a flight, then come, dine and relax here, anything less than that, I fear you may experience the same anxiety time crunch as I did. read more

Came for the veggie Philly cheesesteak, made with seitan. It was delicious! Kind of messy, but only because it was packed with lots of good stuff. The side salad was simple but nice and fresh, which was just what I wanted. For just the cheesesteak, the bill was $19.8 before tip with the 3% airport wages surcharge, which is a little expensive, but it was a hefty sandwich, and for me it was worth it for a really satisfying vegan meal. The staff were all very friendly. It was about 40 minutes from the time I arrived to the time I left, which I think is reasonable for a sit-down restaurant. read more

Stopped by Sabrina's for an early dinner while waiting for my flight in C terminal. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my sister ordered the jerk chicken bowl. I rated the shrimp & grits a 4.5/5 and my sister rated her jerk chicken bowl a 3/5. She states she notices a slightly spicy/sweet/cinnamon taste to the chicken that didn't seem too authentic. The ambiance is nice, large enough dining area + bar with very friendly service. There was a hostess, about 2 servers, and one bar staff on this particular Sunday evening. Would be safe to budget atleast 35+ mins prior to boarding your flight. I would definitely stop by here again. It is probably one of my favorite meals at an airport to date. read more

The King Kreme donut was so fresh and delicious. I was actually pleasantly surprised as I expected a mediocre donut. I also had the Korean Milk Coffee and it was very good as well. My husband had the egg, bacon and sour dough sandwich and he said it was very good. read more

Service was okay this morning as it was fairly early and not too much foot traffic yet. I found the vegetarian huevos rancheros to be a nice change from the other airport options and very filling to get me on my way. Definitely would order this dish again for a morning flight. read more

During our most recent visit we sat at the bar. The last time we sat at a table. When we say at a table the service was crazy slow and we eventually had to catch our flight. Sitting at the bar was slightly better. We ordered the vegan seitan cheesesteak, which is always soooo good. This time it was missing all of the long hots. There wasn't one long hot on the entire thing, which was pretty sad. Two beers and one cheese steak came to $46 before tip. read more

5 Stars - Great Airport Breakfast Spot! You can never go wrong with Sabrina's Café, and this airport location in Terminal C at PHL was no exception! The service was fast and friendly, which is exactly what you need when catching a flight. I ordered the egg sandwich, and it did not disappoint--served on a fresh brioche bun with crispy bacon and cheddar cheese, it was the perfect start to my travel day. The quality and flavor were just as good as their regular locations, which is impressive for an airport spot. If you're in PHL and need a solid meal before your flight, Sabrina's is a great choice. read more

I love sitting at the bar to eat at Sabrina's. Every time I'm here the food and drinks are excellent. Love the avocado toast. Today I asked for the Cali omelette which isn't on the menu anymore but is amazing and they made it. It has pico de gallo in it, lime crema and avocado on top. Ate every bite. Also the chai latte was wonderful! Highly recommend when you aren't in a hurry. read more

Best airport food! I ate many airport food but nothing can compare with this cafe. We got a nice table next to the window so we can see the planes. The iced tea is delicious, not too strong and not too sweet. The jerk chicken is juicy and tasty. Everything in the bowl go really well together. The service is fast and friendly. read more

Ordered chicken and waffles with an espresso martini. Server recommended over the pancakes. Great choice. Short wait for food. It was served hot. It's served with a basil butter that I would probably enjoy better on another dish. The espresso martini was a good pour but lacked froth typically seen with this drink. Bar and table seating. TVs and flight monitors. My server was busy with her tables but still attentive to me. Overall a great meal. read more

Looks really nice, but the execution was poor. I ordered chicken and waffles and they ran out of ingredients. Come on now. Also our female server was a bit clueless and got our order wrong twice. Beautiful views during sunset at the Philadelphia airport. And the interior is excellent. read more

This is the absolute worst airport in the country. Between the water being disgusting and tested high for every type of chemical to the dirtiest of restrooms and sitting areas. That aside - this place use the Philly water to make coffee and then serves ya fake half and half creamer. Toxic as F! Service peeps are awesome. read more

Was so excited to see Sabrina's at the airport- finally some good food expected at the airport (?) Don't hold your hold up... The brand name is significant deteriorated by coming to the airport :-( The menu selections are heavily cut, breakfast/brunch options are only available by 11am. Understood that the price is usually higher at the airport, but still when I see a plain sandwich for ~$20 (takeout) I'm still shocked. It replaced the Asian fusion place (Sky Asia or something) which had good menu selection, thought it was an upgrade (being "Sabrina's Cafe"), but now it's just another overpriced sandwich shop that takes 20+ mins and still gets your order wrong! read more

So good! Window side dining with great healthy options. Ask for Morgan's section. Get the Banh Mi with salad. I took the bread away and combined the salad and sandwich ingredients to make a super great salad. $17.80 read more

The only reason this place gets 4 stars is thanks to the bartender. The receipt says Mike R. He works his butt off. Everybody else looks busy but don't really know what they're doing. The kitchen staff has to be busy too because food comes out fast so they add a positive to the review. The other staff meh. There were two employees behind the bar in some little room in the back having a serious argument about one dude disrespecting the other guy. What I think is the manager came and broke it up. It made for some entertainment so the gave another star. The burger was pretty good and presented well so the 4th star. I guess this place is hit or missed based on other reviews. read more

Chicken and Waffles. One of the best airport meals I've had. Chicken right out of the fryer, waffle perfect brown, interesting basil butter as an added bonus. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before a flight and was pleasantly surprised! The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the coffee was much better than I expected as well. Service was fast. The dining room was clean. And when the sun started to come up, the blinds automatically lowered (or someone noticed it and lowered them - either way, we didn't have to do a thing). Definitely would stop in again. read more

My flight was delayed, so I wanted to kill sometime, and decided to pop into Sabrina's cafe, I decided to sit and the bar, and chill, my bartender was great, I enjoyed a beer and a very tasty expresso martini. If you are stuck in the airport, definitely check them out! read more

Tipping exists because restaurant owners don't pay a reasonable wage. That's been the case for a very long time and there's nothing new about this. But this 3% for their wage and benefits? Pay your damn employees! You should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

The service at this place is incredible considering its in the airport. Everyone was very friendly. The food portions are quite large so you get your moneys worth. I had the egg breakfast platter. Definitely left full and ready for flight. read more

Enjoyed drink and avocado toast waiting for my flight. The bartender was great and I was really impressed with the friendly service especially in an airport. The avocado toast was good, but the toast was a little too think and slightly stale. Otherwise, the avocado was fresh and the side salad was really good with a nice, light dressing. The restaurant is nice and bright and they do a really good job managing people coming and going. I would definitely return! read more

Waited 30 minutes for a takeout breakfast sandwich, had to run to make our flight. Didn't get our breakfast sandwich, still missed our flight. Avoid at all costs if you have to make a flight at a particular time. read more

4.7 Stars! my family and I had a early flight and we wanted breakfast. We saw the menu and everything sounded super delicious. The breakfast burrito caught my eye. When it came out it looked super small but it got me really full. The portion was perfect! Their hot chocolate was not so sweet, if you have a sweet tooth it may not be to your liking but I loved it. Pricewise it was decent, especially for the quality of the food. The only downside is that it did take quite a while for the food to come out. Luckily, our gate was right next to the restaurant. read more

I eat at the Sabrina's on 34th St. a lot and it is very good. However, the one in the airport is OKAY. I think the customer service at this one is hit or miss. Today I went & stood at the register for a while just for the girl with the nose rings to ask did I want to order! Tone and attitude didn't match what I'm used to. read more

Pretty solid airport food - quick good service. I got the chicken and waffles, I think the butter was infused with Pesto which was a little odd but added an interesting flavor - can't complain. Normal airport ambiance as well, seemed like the best food. read more

Boy, this place is a real winner. I was pleasantly seated and it all went downhill from there. The server took my drink order. "May I have a Coke please?" He arrives with a Pepsi. Did he not hear me? And when I questioned him instead of saying a word or offering an alternative, he reaches in and pulls the bottle and glass of ice off the table and disappears. You know, customer service is not that hard and you being rude is a choice. What he SHOULD HAVE DONE was mention that they didn't offer Coke products and let me know from the beginning instead of choosing to be a dick. And as I sat there and sat there I began to wonder if he was coming back to take my order at all, since I saw him take 4 other tables' orders around me. He finally comes back and I ordered 2 eggs over medium with wheat toast and breakfast potatoes. When it arrives some other girl is speaking to me with a plate of food held above me so I couldn't see and was unintelligible. I finally just said I had 2 eggs over medium and she sets the plate down and offered to bring more oj. When she comes back, I ask if they don't have regular wheat toast and am informed that multigrain is all they have. So again, why didn't my original server tell me they didn't have wheat bread? See where I'm going here? Customer Service isn't that hard. You just have to take care of your customer and offer alternatives to find a solution in a friendly manner. The second orange juice comes in a cup of ice. Whotf drinks orange juice with ice, and again, why didn't they ask if I wanted ice? The first oj didn't come with ice, so i didn't expect the 2nd would and again why not ask me??? The only thing right with Sabrina's cafe was the eggs over medium. Won't be coming back here. They've got eggs on their face because their service sucks! read more

Food was good but if you don't have 2 hours to sit and eat, don't go here. Our server did not greet us and we had to ask where they were, we did not get silverware, after 50 minutes of waiting for our food, we asked to get it to go. Setting is nice but you'll be RUSHING to your gate if you don't have atleast 2 hours to wait for your food, enjoy it and get to your gate. read more

I don't think I've ever been compelled to write a rave review of an airport restaurant -- until now. We needed to escape the tiny waiting areas in Terminal C at the Philadelphia Airport. We found Sabrina's nearby and had a wonderful breakfast. The pancakes were the fluffiest I've had in years. The stack of pancakes was huge and delicious. The $12.41 price tag was extremely reasonable. I was too busy stuffing my face to take a picture. My wife's egg sandwich was also exceptional and fairly priced. Our server, Vivian, was terrific. The two hostesses on June 11 were also personable and helpful. We were escorted to a nice table for two that gave us plenty of room for our luggage. When you can't find a seat in the waiting area for your overcrowded flight, which is almost always the case, we recommend Sabrina's. read more

Wow. Can you say intentionally rude???!!! Obviously traveling is stressful these days and people want to enjoy a drink before they get crammed into a flight. This place has Intentionally horrible service and I really believe when you ask for a call drink they serve crappy well swill. $44 for two casamigos margs and the wife and I have a headache a day later, after 1 drink!!! Rude, expensive and probably faking call drinks with cheap well swill. Avoid at all cost!!! read more

While waiting for my flight in the early morning, we decided to eat here after browsing the menu. We were seated quickly, and our server was quite attentive. I ordered the egg sandwich with pepperjack cheese and a brioche bun, totaling ~$12. You can add protein, like Turkey bacon, for an extra cost. There are options of American, Swiss, and provolone cheese, as well. The sandwich came with seasoned potatoes on the side covered in caramelized onions. Both the sandwich and potatoes were delicious, I loved the addition of onion on top! The bun was soft, lightly buttered and toasted, and the egg was fluffy, folded with salt and pepper. If by any chance I come back to this airport, I would definitely dine in again or order from their takeout counter and try other options! However, if time allowed it, I would dine in again because the interior design was fun and cozy. read more

This may be the only airport food that I would willingly pay the airport price for. I had the chicken and waffles (though they were out of waffles, so they subbed French toast) and that was the closest I've ever felt to god. The chicken is perfectly fried and lightly seasoned, with a basil butter on the side that you SHOULD NOT SKIP!! the French toast was soft, a little gooey in the center, and overall perfection. read more

If there was an option to leave zero stars I would leave zero stars. After waiting 40 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant, our food finally came out and literally everything was wrong. A side order never came out at all, despite being told over and over again, "it's coming". We were then charged for it and they were surprised when we asked for it to be removed from the bill. I travel a lot for work, and this is the worst airport restaurant experience I've ever had. Terrible service, terrible food, and no upside. There are other options in this airport for food. Take one of the other options. read more
