GreenEggs Cafe In South Philly. An ecclectic menu worth the trip

Went to the GreenEggs Cafe in the 1300 block of Dickenson for lunch and it was outstanding. http://greeneggscafe.net/ is their website and you can download the menu. Read about it in Craig Lebain's article in the Philly Inquirer. They serve breakfast all day and have some interesting items on the menu. I had a cheesesteak that was not your normal South Philly one. It was chipped rib eye with carmalized onions, arugula mayonnaise, Gruyere béchamel, on a grilled ciabatta roll with fennel slaw. lol I told you not your regular sandwich. It was off the charts.




My wife had a cheeseburger that was better than one we had on Rittenhouse Square recommended in Food & Wine Magazine and half the price. We had house fries and sweet potatoe fries as our sides. How about this one.



Kobe slider trio 9.5

Blue cheese, maple glazed bacon • shiitake mushrooms, white cheddar • quail egg, arugula and truffle oil The menu is at http://greeneggscafe.net/GreenEggsCafe-BL-menus.pdf



It was about 15 tables, clean and quiet with helpfull staff and the food was on the table in about 10 minutes. We were there after lunch on a weekday but I heard on the weekends there is a line outside.
