★★★★★ 5.0 Stephanie Bozella · Nov 2025

My first visit to Penrose Diner was incredible!! Chris is a personable, friendly and kind waiter. We thoroughly enjoyed the French onion soup, chicken parm and chicken francaise. Coming back for breakfast next! :)

★★★★☆ 4.0 Randy Rossi · Oct 2025

Classic South Philly environment. Staff is friendly but not corny friendly, they are Philly friendly. If ya dont know difference you will after you visit here. The service was fast and my order was perfect. 4 eggs over medium (white was cooked and yolk was dunkable), hash browns with onions, toasted English Muffin, and sweet Italian sausage. The Coffee was diner good. The interior was clean as well as the men's restroom. If you are expecting a gourmet dinning experience you are going to the wrong place. What you can expect is a good meal, decent portions, and its served fast and fresh.

Nothing to write home about. Service and atmosphere were great, but overall it was basic diner food you could get anywhere. Wouldn’t recxomend if you’re on vacation and trying new things, but if you need a cheap easy breakfast it works. Baked goods at the front looked better than anything on the menu. Both were great and worth the price, but again, nothing special.

Penrose Restaurant brings pure comfort‑food joy. Big flavors, warm service, and that classic diner buzz that makes every plate feel like a win

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Niko · Oct 2025

It was about average for a diner. The area it's in is kinda industrial and right off the highway, the parking lot was hard to navigate. The service was great but the food was mediocre. We were there for breakfast
