Champs Diner - Review - North Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Champ’s Diner is smack in the middle of Temple University’s campus. And because of this, you’d think it would be full of overflow from the Liacouras Center or the second-worst AMC Theater in town that’s across the street (yes, we ranked them). But this small corner spot is only open from 6:30am-2pm daily, so it’s more of a meetup for students cracking open an art book they can’t afford while downing a fruit-topped waffle. The daytime menu isn’t just surprisingly impressive breakfast sandwiches and western omelets; they have quality seafood—think peppery salmon cakes and shrimp—and egg platters for under $15. That’s a price tag that can come in handy, especially for undergrads who have more books to buy next week." - Candis R. McLean
