Brotherly Grub Cafe at Jacobs Northwest

Last night, I previewed the upcoming dinner menu for Brotherly Grub at Jacob's Northwest and it was divine🔥 This Black women-owned restaurant in Northwest Philly is about to be a force to be reckoned with when they transform this popular brunch/lunch spot into a full fledged all day spot!

Although there were only 2 other patrons at tables when we initially arrived, the wait time for the food was ridiculous. I am not sure I will dine-in again but take-out is a possibility. The food was delicious and the outdoor seating area was nice. However, the wait for the food, the service, the check, and take out orders left us miffed as we walked out 3 hours later.

I was looking for a place with a good crab cake. Well I stopped by for a to go plate but ended up sitting at the bar and dining in. Atmosphere was great vibes. And the crab cake sandwich and garden salad I received was awesomeness!!! I needed this experience to know I have a place to come and have great crab cakes. It was more on the healthy side and away from the deep fried side. My type of food party!!

A bit of a wait, like 45 minutes... but to be fair the food was excellent. Fish cooked perfect and tasted totally fresh. The crab Benedict with the sautéed spinach was unexpectedly delightful. Better than anything I've recently had in avenida, naples, South Miami, key largo or manayunk.

The food was absolutely delicious! The crème brûlée French toast was amazing! Shrimp and grits were delicious as well as the rum punch!

The food has been delicious and I wanted to give this restaurant a 5-star review, but after getting the same item for a third try, the effort wasn't put into the amount that I purchased for this item. One photo represents the first time I ordered the loaded fries with chicken. I ordered it again and didn't receive nearly as much. And it definitely wasn't worth $8. If you were running low on the product, I wish you would've called to say that and offered something else. I would like to mention that the woman that answers the phone is very polite. Thank you for your kindness.

Ordered french toast with eggs and turkey sausage patties. I can’t begin to describe how amazing my food tasted!!!! Fresh, savory, and prepared with care. It’s amazing this cafe is available to share delicious food with great prices and portions for the community and to top it off its Black Owned!!! Definitely excited to return to try more of thee scrumptious menu items. Well Done!

The atmosphere was really cool good vibe over all. My waiter was really nice he was attentive and polite. Food was really good , and my drink was too. And black owned! Thoroughly enjoyed myself.
