Since the fall of the Melrose a few years ago, this is the new diner to go to in South Philly . Great food, great people! You are bound to run into someone you know if you live in South Philly : )

Cheese steak was great! Make sure you ask for mushrooms , onions & peppers unless you just want meat & cheese .

The food is Delicious! The chocolate cheesecake is scrumptious!

Steve Naimoli

Like all places, it's hit or miss. Took 3 waitresses before we ordered, and it's pretty amazing that you need to explain what a hot roast beef sandwich is... Sometimes it's the twilight zone here.

Charles Tyson

Everything is great! Try the crab soup and the Impossible Burger !

Joseph Pomone

Had an awesome breakfast . Definitely going back next time I'm in town .

Best diner in so. Phila. They turn out breakfast like none other. Line can be intimidating on a Sun morning but never waited more then a few minutes.

The smallest Philly cheesesteak I had in the city , without anything inside, and its taste was not that good. No WiFi inside Penrose. Total failure, I regret to have gone there. By the way, not cheap !

Food is good. Waitress very nice and pleasant. Older hostess major attitude. Not friendly at all. Like she couldn't be bothered.

Dave Calabro

Don't expect to have a quiet meal if they sit you all the way in the back. That's where they usually put all of the rowdy young kids.

The eggs benedict are fantastic
