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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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...

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.
