Penrose Diner

I ordered the ribeye dinner and it was OK. The mashed potatoes really weren’t that great. I kind of felt the texture was a bit weird. Broccoli was not to my liking but i think i just might dislike broccolini. But I’m picky like that. What I did love is that they had alcoholic beverages. That was definitely a winner. Service was satisfactory.

The wait staff is very nice! It's clean and decently priced and their strawberry cheesecake is tasty. Their food however is very very disappointing. I will go back if needed but won't seek it out.

Wow ! Looking for a quick place for dinner before flying out of Philly. Found the Penrose diner. Big ,clean and welcoming. The entire staff was so friendly and the food was fast and outstanding. ( 100 times better than the diners back home ). Our waitress Ashley was so very pleasant and friendly. Great job Penrose diner !!! Every traveler to Philly needs to pay a visit here..

Wanted a breakfast and wanted a spot for hat was going to serve alcohol and found this place. Initially I wasn’t to thrilled about going to a diner but OMG was I pleasantly surprised. We arrived and there was plenty of parking available and was greeted and seated immediately. We could tell that they have plenty of regulars as we heard the servers talking to people by name and remembering different things that they typically order. Our server was great, took our drink orders (mimosas) and came back with our drinks in regular size glasses (no complaints here). Ordered the French toast deluxe (French toast, sausage, ham and bacon) as well as the steak and eggs. Boy was I amazed at the food. Everything came out hot and perfect. The steak was cooked perfectly and was seasoned so well that steak sauce wasn’t needed. The French toast was perfect; just the right amount of crunch to it and it wasn’t soggy. Diner food is typically good at most places but this actually surprised me, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this good. Will certainly be coming back.
