Texas Wieners — Restaurant in Philadelphia

While it's vibe feels like a cramped diner you can't actually eat in, I mean that in the best possible way. I visited Philly to spend a week with my sister, and despite how elbow to elbow you might feel ordering and waiting for your food, the lady behind the counter who I can only assume owns the place makes you feel right at home. I probably reeked of tourist, and all the same, my order was taken and I felt more than comfortable being able to chat back and forth with my sister, her partner, and the order taker without feeling even remotely across the country. Then there was the food... I only had breakfast there twice, and I'm only disappointed I couldn't have had every breakfast there. The home fries were easily some of the best I've ever had, with a perfect crisp to the outside while being nice and creamy in the center, and the onions and peppers only added some extra texture and flavor. The pork sausage omelette was about all I could ever ask for from a diner style omelette. I'm hoping to visit again next year, and I know for certain I'll be wanting to start the next morning here. Keep being awesome! Much love...

The food is great, cheap and fast everything you want in a small quick neighbor Hood food spot.

The reason I'm writing this is I will never go back because I witnessed the way the owner treats talks to and bullies the staff and it's disgusting. I witnessed the attack of staff twice the first time I was in shock. I have watched the owner interact with everyone who comes in the restaurant pleasantly and kindly the second time I saw her attack the black female staff was enough I spoke up educated the staff about fair treatment and her right and Power Not to be treated like a dog and left. I have told many friends co workers About this place great food spot but the toxic humiliating degrading atomsphere will not rest peacefully in my soul for a long time. I am my Sister's Keeper, if we watch unfair treatment and don't speak up for the oppressed then how can we complain about unfair treatment when it...

Bruh.

The food was un-blanking-real. And still wallet-friendly.

I got a waffle and 4 chicken wings and an iced tea (which was made from a mix, so I'd probably skip that next time) for like $9 and change. And it was delicious.

I also like how they seem to know many of their customers as the cook was chatting with guys as they came in. The matriarch of the place was an older Asian woman, who handled tender and called everyone "Baby". It was an absolute joy.

The place could use a bit of a scrub down, manily because you can see the food being prepared and it was a little grubby. But that aside, I'd still eat there, just at the opposite end of...
