Always good service, clean surroundings and an interesting menu. THE best breakfasts in town, served all day every day. Wow! And on top of it all, they support local non-profits, schools and other good causes.
Great food. We stop there several time during the course of a weekend when we take a trip down to see the Phillies and have never been disappointed. The son-in-law and grandson heartily approve.
Excellent service, excellent food, excellent prices, and breakfast selections all day!
The omelets are generally large. The fillings for 50 cents each are really worth it. Multi-grain is one of the four choices for toast; multi-grain is a pleasant plus. Almost everyone is pleasant and cheerful. You are very likely to see a friend or neighbor there! At least this summer, there has been no waiting. Finally, they give you a detailed receipt when you ask for the check and after you have paid.
It is the place where everyone knows my name, my coffee cup is never empty, and I am at home.
My kids love it and there is always something there that excites me. Great selection of beers is very nice
This fun diner is definitely "user friendly" and serves real food, not pasty imitations. Also the coffee is bold and hot and you never have to ask for a refill ... the servers are right there to fill you up even before you ask. Come with a healthy appetite and bring the kids!
Great diner. Cool owner and hey, Ted Kennedy ate there, what better endorsement can you get.
We eat here most Sundays mornings. Food is good. Service is quick and the waitresses are all very friendly. We recommend it to everyone. And it is great to see so many of neighbors eating there also.
NOT just breakfast, but any time of the day the food and service are outstanding... less pricey than it's Chestnut Hill neighbors, more selection and an Ice-cream Trolley car store too boot! You CANNOT go wrong!
It's really a great way to start the day, with a friend or at a business breakfast (with big enough tables to spread out notes and files). The spinach and feta omelette has fresh spinach, the coffee is great, the bread is LeBus, and the waitresses are the best!
Trolley Car Diner is a great eatery and ice cream shop. They offer the best ice cream and waffles etc.
There is no better place to eat or short of living in the neighborhood, no better way to experiance the warm and grace of Mt Airy than to have Sunday breakfast at the Trolley Diner. It is quintessential Philadelphia Americana
Awesome place to go for any meal, even dessert at the ice cream shop! Great atmosphere!
Fabulous food at fabulous prices! A real welcoming neighborhood spot! An excellent destination for the entire family!
More than just a great diner, it's a neighborhood focal point. Maybe that's just chocolate chip pancakes, but I don't think so...
Great food, love the staff, check out all the meals - don't be fooled by the name "diner" the cuisine really couldn't be much finer.
In addition to fine food, they have a friendly atmosphere that enhances the flavor of the food.The trolley car diner is small enough so that every one knows your name. It is a modern day Cheers.
