I donât have any complaints about the food, which was well prepared but pricey. The setup is that you go to the counter, order and get seated. Not what I prefer but it was especially annoying that if you wanted coffee you had to stand in line and pump your own. Very inconvenient since itâs a bit cramped.

We were referred this place by one of my sonâs therapists that used to come to our home weekly when we first moved to the area. Now, donât get me wrong, the food is great. But, the prices are over my budget; around $12-$13 for one omelette, and I donât pay that anywhere else - Iâm talking about a create your own omelette is what I donât even pay that much for! I have yet to try other dishes as well as trying lunch there, I just havenât been able to do so yet due to a busy schedule on my end. The second time we went to sit down and eat, we ended up walking out because they were letting people cut in front of us when we got there before them, and that wasnât fair to us. We wonât dine there again, but are willing to try different dishes as well as trying lunch and dinner there. Thatâs why I gave the 3 out of 5 rating.

I had the chicken Gyro and my mom had the liverwurst sandwich on rye. The place is in a little strip mall. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. My gyro was dry with and pita a little stale. I don't know how the other meals are but mine was ok. My mother's was ok.

Taylor Ham and scrambled eggs with hash browns n toast filled me up this Thursday morning after a short flight from Florida. The service was great and side of creamed chip beef fantastic. The chocolate chip pancakes were perfect fillers for the little girls and our table.

This is a small local place with only lunch and breakfast. Very reasonably priced. Get yourself some scrapple and eggs. Offers omelets, French toast and pancakes. Right near train station. Nothing fancy, just good reasonable meal.

Great dinner for family. I chose two appetizersâa goat cheese mushroom and carmelized onion flatbread and roasted broccoli with a guacamole base. My husband had the impossible burger and fries. We both enjoyed our dinners immensely. Will definitely return if we are nearby again.

Environment as described by other reviewers but food was mediocre at best. Two appetizers, egg rolls pretty good, lobster flat bread-- fair at best. Two southwest chicken salads chicken itself was very good BUT there must have been a sale on Serrano peppers as there seemed to be an equal amount of peppers to lettuce.Will not be back!!!!!

Meeting a friend from Canada who was catching a flight - I had never been to Swarthmore but looked on Trip Advisor. When I pulled into the lot, I was a bit surprised since it seemed rather plain. But once inside, it was a nice surprise. Varied lunch menu with salads and generous sandwiches. I had a green salad with figs, cranberries and chicken which was wonderful. We also shared hummus as an appetizer. My friend had the roast pork sandwich which was enough for two meals. A nice selection of prepared foods (I wish I lived closer so I could pick up dinner) and a huge selection of wines and beers which you donât often find in PA. Will definitely go back even though itâs a bit of a ride.
