Aminé’s Guide to Dining in Portland | Eater Portland
"I used to go to Everybody Eats when it was in Southeast, I know they opened a location in the Pearl now, and they’re really great." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
Portland’s Food Service Community Reacts to a Year of Whiplash | Eater Portland
"I followed Johnny Huff Jr.'s move of Everybody Eats into a larger Pearl District space specifically to accommodate more indoor diners within capacity limits, and when the state shut down indoor dining again he was frustrated but not surprised; he pivoted to brainstorm more takeout options, merchandise, virtual cooking classes, consultations, and spice mixes, saying as a Black male restaurateur you constantly have to reinvent yourself and prepare for the worst while hoping for the best." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
How to Help Your Community During the Coronavirus Pandemic | Eater Philly
"I describe Everybody Eats as a group of Philly chefs who host a traveling food drive that distributes free meals and essentials in different neighborhoods and that people should follow their social media to find the next event and sign up to volunteer." - Sarah Maiellano
Charming, inviting, and unforgettable! The shrimp and grits were absolutely phenomenal, the vibes were spot-on, and the service couldn't have been warmer or more attentive. This place is a true gem, we'll definitely be back! Best brunch in Chester by a mile.

This place is amazing. They do their best with the space alloted to them. Staff has to be some of the friendliest staff I've worked with. Absolutely shows the care and can teach some other places how to treat customers. The food was outstanding as well. Well portioned and filling with taste. This was my second time there as the first time it was super busy and our order was forgotten. Things happen and me and my other was not upset because it happens. Owner made sure to comp and was very apologetic. This of course brought us back and I am happy to have gone. They even remembered us and this was months ago. I can't remember who I talked to an hr ago. Anyways, go there and eat and be treated better then you been treated in the past year or maybe two along with well fed!

The food was fantastic. Shrimp and grits were perfectly seasoned. Shrimp was cooked to the correct temperature and tender. The waffle was coated with cinnamon sugar. Very nice touch. No need for the butter or syrup. Corn bread French toast was amazing. The back story on the chefs and the owner is fantastic. Lots of love are going into the preparations. Bravo !! Open m-f. If they were open on the weekends it would be out of control slammed. It's that good.

Nice lil spot in the heart of Chester for a good Brunch. The best place in the area for brunch honestly. The customer service here really makes you feel welcomed and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the Salmon Cheesesteak and a homemade lemonade & the Mrs had the Shrimp Box with the homemade iced tea. We will definitely be back because we have to try the corn bread French Toast! Love this place definitely a hidden gem!

After hearing about this restaurant on YouTube, I had to come and check it out. The space is lively and soulful and the food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the chicken box with three wings and fries done in their special way! And I got the homemade tea! My only critique was they looked a little flustered behind the counter which gave the appearance of being a little disorganized. The eat in space is kind of tight so if you plan to get breakfast or lunch there, plan accordingly.

AMAZING! Very appropriately named! There is literally something for everyone on this menu.
I’ve been vegan for almost 10 years and this was one of the best vegan meals I have ever had. My vegan toddler LOVED it! She ate the plate and asked for more.
My non vegan LOVED the chicken and waffles days later he’s still talking about it.
The staff was very kind the manager (I think) stopped by all the tables to check on everything and make sure we were satisfied. All the gals behind the counter were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helpful my toddler has some allergies and they were seemed happy to accommodate. It’s hard to eat out with a baby and allergies without feeling like a burden, they were wonderful.
HIGHLY recommended. Amazing vegan options, wonderful and trendy and inviting atmosphere cozy well decorated spot!

The food and service were excellent! The shrimp and grits were some of the tastiest I have ever had. My son enjoyed his brunch burger and while planning to only eat half of it, ate most of it because it was so delicious. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for brunch or lunch.

GO NOW! We were at a voting rights vigil in Chester last night (see photo of local mural) and met Stephanie (aka "Chefanie"), the owner. We went in the next morning for breakfast and were blown away. Great vibe inside the restaurant and cool decor. Terrific service from Diana! And the food? Amazing! We shared the Cornbread French Toast and The "Exit 6" Platter. Both were so delicious. Did I mention the coffee? I never know what to expect when it comes to coffee but that was excellent too. Easy parking.

Had a great experience enjoying this new weekend brunch spot. The dining space was cute and cozy, located next door to their event space. The service was great and the food was so flavorful. I'm really hoping the business does well and helps to revitalize the surrounding area. I'd come back again!

OMG! I stopped here for lunch and ordered the vegan cheesesteak, HOLY GUAC! It was sooooo good, it took me back home to LA! I couldn't believe it! The "steak" was tender and well seasoned, the bread was fresh and the service was great, she was very friendly! They have some outdoor seating as well. Will definitely be coming back

Tried this local restaurant today. I ordered the Salmon Cheese steak rolls!!! Now, they are cooked to perfection Stuffed with Salmon and cheese these are a must have upon your first visit. Then I ordered the parmesan and garlic wings which came with home made cut fries, these fries have a taste that anyone would love! I appreciate the gentleman who took my order. He was peasant and professional. He actually verified what my order was and once it was done he verified everything I ordered was in the to go back! Very pleasant! Don't ever say NOTHING GOOD IS IN CHES TER !BECAUSE THIS PLACE is a must visit! Best lunch. Only 13 minutes from PHL AIRPORT.
