Little Pete’s Restaurant

Don’t order anything Benedict if you’re lactose intolerant. First of all, who puts cheese in this dish? Terrible. Second, when I ordered it without cheese, that request was ignored. And third, even after the mistake was corrected there was some disgusting buttermilk/​ranch sauce mixed in with the hollandaise. Benedict is my favorite breakfast/​brunch meal so only reason I’m not giving 1 star is service was fairly quick and they took the meal off my bill

Way better than their other location on 17^th and also feels more alive. The food is decent.

The best diner I have ever been to. They are always on point with anything I order.
Recommendations: chicken parm, grilled chicken breast with mash/​gravy, hot roast beef sandwich with melted cheese, french fries!!, omelettes are always made to perfection, not to mention they have a good diet coke recipe (I’m an addict).
The owners are always there which is why this place is always on point. If you go enough they obviously remember you, they’re sweet!
I don’t think I would be able to live in this area without this diner.

Really great place for a casual meal. It has a nice diner feel and very nice waitresses. I got the buffalo chicken cheesesteak and it was the best i ever had! Fries are nice and crispy too!

They have great food at an affordable price: meal for 2 below $ 20. You need to pay a $ 2 extra to share a day’s special, but they bring it in two plates and with 2 bowls of soup.
I tend to dislike food with pepper, but I gave it a try when they said that the chicken was pre-​seasoned. Well, they really know how to use pepper (and this is rare).
I just dont give a 5 because they forget about your beverage after they bring your food (and I went there twice).

Decent food. Nice people.
My girlfriend and I decided to share a bacon burger. I was upset (out of principle) because they charged us an extra $ 2 for cutting the burger in half.

Lousy service. stood up to go the bathroom and was approached as if I was dining and dashing SMH humiliating

Cashier has a really annoying and nasty attitude. I feel like I owe her $ 100 or something by eating there.

Wouldn’t recommend AT ALL. They were so rude and nasty towards me for no reason at all.

Walked in after visiting the art museum. Extensive menu bound to have something you like. Great, attentive service. Our meals came with two sides, a soup, a salad, and after we were stuffed, the waitress said that it came with dessert. In terms of diners this place is great.

Went to the art museum and did not want to move the car. Walked with a group of people. Loved the Greek food and the daily specials. Lemon Meringue pie was so good, which came with the greed special. Will take others there for the breakfast or Greek food. Of course there are Greek owners.
Very fun to watch the rodents of the building come out to dinner on a cold night. Think we were the youngest ones in the place besides the waitstaff! Good people watching them wear styles from 20 years ago. Oh well I wonder what I will ge like when I am 80 years old…

I may be a little biased because I think Pete is very nice. Like any dinner with a large menu some things are just ok while other items I could eat time and time again. My go to here is flounder francaise over angel hair. It’s a small location and the clientele coming from the Philadelphian are good for a laugh (80+ years old) but the food is consistent and that is key. They have a full bar and friendly staff so if you are looking for good local eatery stop here.

This is standard diner fare, which is popular after a night out because it’s a huge amount of breakfast food, served by wait staff who have been there forever and very quickly. It’s also relatively inexpensive. The thing is, it’s not actually that good — you won’t leave daydreaming about the home fries — but it’s good enough! Always full and never have had to wait for a table.

Visiting from Chicago and loved this place! Great scrapple and delicious coffee. Food came out so fast it should be called Pistol Pete’s ;) Waitress was very pleasant as well.
We’ll be back when we come to visit next time!

Little Pete’s reminds me of an old fashioned diner. They have a huge menu. My mom & I were going to split an entrée & figured it might not be enough so we’d split an appetizer. We would have had plenty of food without the app, but glad we got the Greek trio. The Tzatziki was ok, the Hummus was good, but the Baba Ghanoush was excellent! I ordered the Picatta & I didn’t realize with it you got soup or salad & 2 «vegetables». Very pleased with all.

Just a classic Philly diner. Great breakfast and brunch. Solid burger. No joke waitresses. Nothing fancy. Just stick-​to-​your-​ribs food.

This is a really solid diner in a neighborhood that needs a solid diner. Are they related to the center city location? I hope so??? I honestly do not know.
Anyway, really large space with a ton of tables both indoors and out. The local crowd seems to entail a lot of elderly folks and/​or regulars who are treated like friends and family. I went on the morning of July 4^th and it wasn’t too crowded, which I’m sure many of the more hip local spots were. They even have a full bar, and I fully expect to hit this place up for a cocktail and pancakes after a shitty overnight shift some time soon.
The service was kind and prompt, served just like you should be at a classic diner-​with a little sass and a whole lot of «hun’s» thrown in there for good measure. We got our meals in probably less than 10 minutes of ordering them, and I really enjoyed the hash browns-​crispy and not too dry, with the option of adding sauteed red onions. Why wouldn’t you do that? Yum. The food was pretty standard, solid diner breakfast. There is an option for a $ 3 bloody mary along with the weekend brunch menu. I like where your head’s at, Little Pete’s.
I will most definitely be back, likely pretty regularly, for my standard breakfast fare with sometimes not too friendly neighborhood old folks.

The omelette and hash browns take up your whole plate!!!
The bloody mary’s are not spicy enough for my liking, but it got the job down.
This place is quick, decently priced and the customer service was great.
Get here early because it tends to fill up on the weekends.

Little Pete’s is an old-​fashioned diner very close to the Art Museum. I almost feel guilty critiquing a diner, because most time diner food is just that, diner food. Nothing special or spectacular, but filling and inexpensive. Dining partner and I were looking for a simple diner breakfast Sunday morning. We strolled in around 9:45 and there was ample seating both indoors and outdoors. I ordered the french toast topped with strawberries and he had the nova lox bagel sandwich. My french toast was a bit eggy for my taste and the strawberries also created a lot of moisture, making the french toast every mushier. I’ll probably stick with eggs or an omelet next time. Dining partner enjoyed his lox and bagel. Service was good, my water was constantly filled. The menu is very expansive so we will definitely return to Little Pete’s in the future to try dinner items.

Didn’t know there was an old-​fashioned diner so close to home! This is a true diner — ladies brunching after church, menu with pictures on it, waitresses who call you «doll», mirrors on the wall, mints at the register… you get the gist.
Little Pete’s has everything you expect from a diner and nothing more. Not a hipster-​y, Challah french toast with lemon-​infused syrup type of diner… just a diner. As I like to say, you get what you get and you don’t get upset. I got the veggie omelette with hasbrowns and toast — perfect hangover meal. My boyfriend got pancakes with eggs and bacon, and agreed that it hit the spot.
The clientele is definitely more «mature» than most of the restaurants in the area, and by 3pm the place had mostly cleared out. Our waitress was friendly and quick. The Phillies game on the flatscreen near our table was also an added plus. And they did have (wrapped) mints at the register, which I love!
I’ll definitley come back here anytime I’m in search of an inexpensive, easy brunch. I think our bill was barely over $ 20, including our 2 meals, iced tea, and grapefruit. Yay diners!
