This place is bizarre. Staff sitting inside eating and smoking. There is a table blocking the door with a plastic barrier. Looks terrible and not welcoming. Food is average. If they stopped riding the covid wave maybe they would have potential. Change the name from diner to takeout only and stop misleading people

I love it here. Its a classic diner with really good homemade food. I would recommend going here instead of Green Eggs across the street. Its much better priced and low key. The staff has always been nice to everyone when Ive been in and all the guests are always talking to each other. Also, great place to go if you have a hangover.

They have an amazing price and their portions are big. Food tastes great and it fills you up. I was specially happy because they have a vegetarian sandwich in their menu and I didnt expect it. Good place to eat breakfast at brewery town.Waiters are busy with clients but are attentive to what you need.The only negative is not about the place itself but about some of the people around. A man was constantly coming in, yelling and having very aggressive conversations with himself, then he would go outside and stare at the windows and come back in again.Great prices, great food and fast service!

This place is great! My first meal in Philly and I was not disappointed. The western omelette was amazing and so were the home fries! The staff was attentive and friendly and were quick to kick out a guy that was trying to cause trouble. Definitely would come back.

Everyone there is so nice and I get breakfast from them almost everyday since I have to work. Their prices are reasonable and if it wasnt tor this pandemic I would probably be eating in there almost everyday.

My go-to spot for a quick tasty breakfast when Im in town. You can get a decent meal for less than $10 including a Nantucket Nectars juice. Cant beat that with a stick! Limited seating, though.

Philly Sunnyside Diner serves up tasty breakfast and sandwiches / wraps / soups for the Brewerytown neighborhood at Girard and 28th. Friendly staff. Nice mix of a la carte and platter combos. CASH ONLY though, have cash on hand. Ill be back on my next visit to the area.

This place may be one of the last great diners in the city. It reminds me if Phillies diner where I worked as a teenager. Staff and customers know each other on a personal level and that is what helps make a string working class community. God bless them and I cant wait for my Sunday breakfast before church.

Everything would be great except one day I walked in there and they were cooking other food on the pork grill...along with the pork..this may not concern some, but it bothered me to the point where as though I no longer go there. If you have a dedicated grill for pork... Then only cook pork on it...the girls are great!!

The food is good but theyre not practicing CDC guidelines. No one inside had on mask. The cook, waitress, cashier no one. Wont be back until they get themselves on the same page as the rest of the world.

This place may not look like much, but their breakfast is so good. Large portions, delicious food, and the price is perfect. You get so much bang for your buck. On top of all of this, they are FAST. I love going here and I never regret a Sunnyside breakfast!

Awesome diner spot with much less hustle&bustle than the new Green Eggs cafe across the street. Traditional diner feel, such nice& quick service, counter seating or booth seats. Great feel for the local community. Cash or cards accepted.

This is a great casual, neighborhood diner. The staff was friendly and prompt whenever asked for something. The food was great and the prices are very reasonable. It was a great way to start the day and a perfect weekend addition. Note: there is credit card minimum of 10$ but they have an atm if you dont reach it.

I like this place. I generally go there in the AM for breakfast. The ladies are nice, and thats what I look for besides great food, when I go to a place of business.

Standard dinner food, but still good. I had eggs, home fries, and french toast and cleaned my plate. Waitress was really nice and friendly, but it seemed to take a while to cook our food even though they didnt seem that busy. Probably a good bet if youre not in a hurry.

It’s my father-in-law’s 75th birthday. Twelve of us traveled from all over to stay together in an Airbnb. We wanted a local diner within walking distance, and came across this place. It’s a total hole in the wall. Pretty small, but we all got tables. The service was great, really friendly. The food was awesome. Super low key. Really great!

Ok so I originally wanted to go to Green Eggs Cafe across the street but they were closed for maintenance issues. However I went to this one. The table needed to be wiped down before we sat down. My friend orders a cheese steak and I had chicken and waffles. Its was UNTIL A CAT CAME FROM THE BACK AND RUBBED ON MY LEG!!! I INSTANTLY LOST MY APPETITE!!. TO TOP IT OFF THE LADY PICKED THIS HEFTY CAT UP AND TOOK IT......NOT WHERE ITS CAME OUT FROM BUT PASSED IT BY THE FOOD WHERE ITS BEING COOKED. IF THE FOOD WASNT GD I WOULD HAVE RATED THIS 1 STAR FOR LOCATION. SMH. 1ST AND LAST TIME HERE FOR ME. BUT IT SEEMS EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOES THERE.

The restaurant is very dirty the walls are not wiped down at all. When you work there the owner only gives you 1 day for 2 weeks. The food is good but the staff sucks. Their is only ine good worker there. The kitchen staff says i f___ing quit every time he gets an order. And also grunts under his breath as well. Your toast is never hot cause as soon as you do an order they drop the toast instead of waiting til almost the order is ready.

Biased Establishment. I hate to leave these type of reviews however, My husband and I came here for breakfast. I ordered two egg and cheese bagels with spinach, tomato and fried onions over the phone. The owner of the establishment informed me there was a $10 minimum for using a debit card. My order came up to $8.64 so the owner said I can get a water so my bill could be $9.64 then said it was close enough to $10 so it was okay to use the card.Upon paying for the order a Caucasian guy was in front of me paying for his order which came up to $8.10. He handed her the card and she proceeded with the transaction. No statements or questions asked.I then asked her to take the water off and my bill came up to $8.64. I handed her the card and she quickly caught an attitude telling me there is a $10 minimum for card transactions. I kindly asked for the card and headed out the door.Clearly something is not right with this establishment. Anyone who believes fair is fair should not dine at this restaurant. The owner is biased and disrespectful.

I have been in this establishment several times for breakfast. This morning my partner and i went for breakfast and sat at the counter . I watched the owners wife pulling toast out of the trash and tell the new waitress not to waste bread. I would have never known it is inconceivable that the owners wife would be doing this in front of customers much less at all and the only reason she didnt put the toast on mine or someone else plate is because she heard me gasp in shock. Like never again will i eat from here again 😷🤒😷🤒

I work near by and would frequent this diner often with no problem. Until last week when i went in and everyone was very rude. The young woman at the counter was very rude taking my order (which she got wrong) and didnt apologize. Then the owner was rude and rushing me to pay eventhough i was dining in. I think that was my last visit.

Review №58

The food is good and at a good price. But there service is absolutely horrible. They are poorly managed, understaffed, uncoordinated and plain inconsiderate of their customers time and life. When you wait 20 mins for something as simple as oatmeal or a bagel Its ridiculous and those are the wait times daily for stuff thats pre-made. Just really bad poor service.

UNPROFESSIONAL! UNPROFESSIONAL! Moved to Brewerytown this past summer. Getting to know the neighborhood, I walked a few blocks looking for food. I attempted to eat here 3 separate times. Day one: I walked in and grabbed a menu. No one greeted me. Second time: waitress and I caught eye contact but she ignored me and got on her phone. Told myself, third times a charm! The owner stood at the register as I walked in. I smiled, she looked away. I looked over the menu for about 10 minutes. Nobody said hello. Nobody brought silverware. Nobody knew I was even there! I wont give it anymore attempts.

The food was excellent, however, the customer service at this place is horrible. I ordered over the phone and they forgot to put egg on my breakfast sandwich something that comes with the #B5 order. When I called to inform them, I got ALOT of attitude. They tried to tell me that I didnt order it, that I should have specified and then hung up on me. Worst service I have ever received in this neighborhood.
