Liberty Bell Diner

Friendly and helpful staff. The food was AMAZING. Also, the music selection or playlist they had going was definitely a plus 👌🏾. Definitely will go back whenever I'm up near Philly.

The atmosphere wasn’t the greatest at this diner. The grits was average, the eggs come in an omelet form and we could barely taste the cheese. Coffee was basic diner coffee but by far not the worst. Turkey, fried egg, and cheese was not bad. But after requesting my eggs be completely done; they still came back medium. The place was clean, tight, and crowded. The waitress Michelle was cool and informative. She told us that the grits there was a hit or miss at times. If you happen to be in the neighborhood stop by.

All I can comment on is the food through doordash. My partner got food delivered to me from here for my birthday as a surprise. I love lemon cake and was so excited when I seen it said lemon cake on the bag. Finally got to eat it and it was very dry vanilla cake. Well bday ruined there. It was supposed to be a Cattleman's steak sandwich. Well I dont see bacon and cheese wiz listed in the description. Seems like they just gave me whatever they wanted. Won't visit this place in person after this. Edit: to the store, is bacon and cheese wiz supposed to be on the Cattleman's steak sandwhich? I shouldn't have to call the store for something my partner got delivered to my house that was supposed to be a surprise. You all messed up and just gave me anything like I said.

Awesome food & service for a good honest price! I ❤️ love the Philly 🔔 & USA 🇺🇸 iconic decor!

We ate here for breakfast after work. Service was good and the food tasted great. I ordered the waffle with fresh fruit.

Well. It was between this place and a Chinese fast food place. So I dropped in here. And if it wasn't for the amazing wait staff I would of walked right out.

Every time I get the cornbeef hash, it’s like they don’t know how to cook it and just take it out of a can. My fault for always trying to give them the benefit of doubt

Becky my server was very pleasant and awesome Liberty chicken special Delicious 🤤 😋 yummy Basic salad 👍 Mashed potatoes with chicken gravy Side broccoli 🥦 was so so I had to send back but overall a great experience and I will be back again Back again and I’m having hamburger with cream of Turkey soup Damn that’s good

Liberty Bell Diner has never disappointed. We recently took my parents to dinner here to celebrate Mother's Day and my father's birthday, which always fall on the same week. Liberty Bell has a cozy but cheery ambiance with a little aquarium in one corner, some cool wall decor, and ample seating. My husband and I love coming here for late night breakfast or dessert cravings, but this time we came to celebrate with family. We all ordered platters which come with a soup or salad, and even some ice cream or pudding for dessert, included in the price. They also brought rolls and other breads in a basket to our table. It's BYOB so that's another highlight. The servings were very generous and everyone had leftovers to take home. Everything was cooked to perfection- the meats were juicy, my shrimp scampi was full of flavor, and everything was perfect down to the soups and salad. My server even stopped me to ask my dad's name so they could sing him happy birthday! I ordered chocolate cake for him and they decorated the plate and all the servers sang and clapped for him. It was so sweet and he was very touched. Also- all of their cakes and treats are delicious! Liberty Bell Diner is unbeatable for the value, flavor, late hours, BYOB, excellent service, and it's a great place to bring family. Give it a try!

Always fair and always prompt,American dining at its finest ,my favorite restaurant and meals,never sent a dish back. Any bad reviews this place receives is purely ignorance from one hit wonder customers that enjoy criticizing a business doing their best. If you are not happy, please square it away with management in person and not after the fact on the internet. I am not affiliated with the restaurant but I am a customer willing to argue against a lousy customer. I've been there once a week for almost two decades,never seen a single customer misbehave,rarely an occasional child crying but that's expected,it's moved on to grown ups crying on the internet. Family oriented atmosphere,taken plenty of dates here from out of state and they enjoyed it thoroughly.

Food was very good , got a mushroom omelette, nice n cheesy, got seated quickly ,good music , workers stay busy with cleaning To me

TONS of food Tried the following: Scallops with french onion soup, loaded baked potato, corn - scallops were ok (yeah I know, what was I expecting??), bread soaked up most of the french onion soup Chicken Liberty with mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese (apparently this was a "veggie"), and salad - chicken was pretty dry but sides were ok Their cinnamon rolls were delish!

A cozy neighborhood diner with plenty of seating on the inside and parking on the outside. This was our very first visit, and while it was extremely busy during the holidays, the staff here were so pleasant and friendly, we are already looking forward to a return visit. We were a large group, 2 tables full, with orders varying from breakfast to dinner...and not one of us was disappointed. Wraps, club sandwiches, chocolate chip pancakes, grilled cheese...everything was made exactly as ordered and served up quickly by their fantastic servers. Liberty Diner is no secret ~ you can tell they have a lot of repeat customers, and everyone seems to know how good they are. Prices are very reasonable, portions are large and it's a winner for good food and super courteous staff.

This is my second time going to the Liberty Bell Diner this summer and both times I really enjoyed my meals. The first time I went for dinner with my sister. She enjoyed the Veal Alicia, and I enjoyed the Senior's Eggplant Parmigiana which came with two sides! I was happy to see they have the "smaller" portions available since we wanted to try the wrapped asparagus, as well. That, by the way, was very tasty, too! Unique, also! We also enjoyed our fresh salads, soups, and basket of different breads. Such a great diner feel, from the food to the atmosphere. Our food today was delicious, as well. We went for breakfast. I had the Liberty Bell omelette, and it was very tasty with all of the different additions to it. The hash browns were nice and crispy, as well. My sister loved her creamed chipped beef and toast. My husband had the sample plate (#6) - he enjoyed the over-easy eggs - he said they were made just right. His scrapple could have been thicker, and the French toast and pancake were ok. He says it's a good way to try things if you've never been there. I will say, you get plenty of food, with leftovers most likely! The staff, both times, were friendly and helpful, and plenty of staff help out with filling coffees, cleaning tables, etc. Check them out!

Old school diner! I have not been in the area for some time. Stopped today for lunch and this place is great! Great food! Great wait staff, manager or owner even took the time to make sure I was happy. Had a BLT and a cup of soup. It was so good! It was diner food at its finest. If you're in the area stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

A very homey place that has good burgers and tenders I'm very picky eater and they never disappoint, severs act like they know you even though u never been there love it.

Met a friend at this diner last month for dinner. Food is alway good and fresh. Service is always good and friendly and the food comes out quickly! My kind of diner!

My favorite local eats! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can't go wrong! Soups are great and the breakfast jamboree is a must!

An enjoyable time eating delicious food with family. Our server was attentive, friendly and courteous. A nice atmosphere and comfortable seating.

Very quick service. Food was hot. Waitress was pretty attentive. Food was solid. Prices weren't too bad. I would go again if in the neighborhood.

The food was as terrible as the service. I wouldn't recommend eating anything from this restaurant.

The food was great. The service was excellent. The ambiance was very pleasant and friendly, everyone was polite.

This place has gone down hill. The service is lazy, food is cold, food quality has gone down hill..I loved coming here at a time but after Covid things went downhill. I don't know why the hash browns taste like water..I don't know why food is a hit or miss at times depending on the chef perhaps ? I'm not coming back here I rather eat at Al's corner deli for breakfast.

The food is always pretty solid. But just once, I'd love to go in, enjoy breakfast, and not feel like I've entered a MAGA Trump rally. It's not only off-putting; but most of the statements made (customers AND STAFF) are fact checked on the spot, only to make me aware of where their news source originates. Owners and managers should really inform their employees to steer clear from such statements and discussions.

everything is great here. soup, appetizer, food, dessert, the people, everything! thanks for mondays with the cream of crab soup, too!

Great food. Great service. The waiters we're friendly and there is definitely a local crowd that goes there. Breakfast was solid.

Wish I could give this place 0 stars, instead of the 1 because both the service AND food were terrible. Can't recommend this place to anyone that isn't white because our server was racist, unaccommodating, disrespectful, and overall terrible at her job. I came with a group of friends here after work because our other spot (a way better restaurant) was not open at the time. We were greeted with a friendly server, then switched out to a TERRIBLE one. She continued to mess up our orders, purposefully swapping our table's soups with another table's, forgetting waters/drink orders, and when asked about maple syrup, utensils, refills and more, she was rude and disrespectful - not even a sorry? Even to the end, when we were waiting for her to collect our bill, she was avoidant and kept us waiting for an extra HALF AN HOUR, came up to us and asked "why are you guys still here" and upon hearing that it was clearly her fault that we were kept there, didn't apologize, just "oh." I don't even understand how this place is still in business. There have been numerous past reviews detailing racism, rudeness, and shitty behavior from servers and owners alike (apparently), and this place is still getting the stars they're getting? I'm obviously not coming here, and I won't be recommending it to anyone - further, I DEFINITELY won't be recommending this to folks who want to eat good food (that's not burnt, over- or under-salted), and good, friendly service.

All ways a good meal. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Service is spot on. Bring your feed bag because you get large servings.

I like this place but I hate that the owner talked shit about me to my face about the time I complained that their French Onion Soup was just a little bit greasy and just requested a remake. I don't think he knew I was the one who made the complaint. Oh well.

The food is so good and the service is excellent and it's open 24 hrs!! :) everything you want in a diner And it's cozy too!

My friend and I have been here a few times now and it's constantly good. Portions and prices are reasonable. We've always had great meals here and wonderful service. The French toast is probably one of the best I've had!

Have driven by this place a million times and finally tried it. It was Mother's Day do we had a little wait and well what can u say???? It was amazing. The food was was fresh and cooked well. Our waitress Adam, was delightful. She realized that my hash browns come out the wrong way ( I didn't say anything) ( it was busy) and brought me s whole new set with my cheese and onions on them. Last visit knocked 2 stars off . Got the prime rib and it was terrible. Looked good. The owner come over and then hit me another piece. Still bad. I said it Yo him and he was offended. Sometimes even a good looking piece of meat Is bad.

I came here one day and had AMAZING food , i just came back today and NOTHING was the same the waitress told me that they switch things daily which is very displeasing when you are coming back for a good meal that you've had the first time around.

I've been here quite a few times and enjoyed breakfast here. The few times I've gone it was crowded but we were seated at a pretty good time. I went in with a group of children and the wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The kids made a mess of the tables and the floor as kids do- and the staff was so inviting and friendly that they told me it's okay, kids will be kids and to enjoy. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made suggestions as to what to order when we were still trying to decide. The pancakes are delicious here and the eggs and sausage. I also like to come here in the summer and enjoy the Philadelphia water ice and ice cream sundaes that they sell. The water ice is inexpensive and you can get a large Whig is huge for half the price you'd pay at Rita's water ice.

No stars! After waiting 2 1/2 hours we called to cancel and they said no...finally got our food and we had missing main items, cracker chicken was burnt and dry.. pasta was sour. Other Burnt items and everything was cold! No refunds no credit no sympathy. Very disappointed in their lack of care.

The food taste and quality switches daily which is very frustrating when you think you're going to get the same service and food as before. But nothing is the same but the drinks

This is a classic American (i.e., Greek-American) diner experience, the ample tasty food, brisk and friendly service, busy atmosphere (because it's GOOD) and reasonable prices. Never had a bad experience here.

The food is good but the service is terrible. Which has started to stop me from coming back. Definitely don't make you feel like a valuable costumer. The last time I was there, I heard a server talk about African Americans negatively and using words like "those people". Which made me uncomfortable even patronizing the business. It sucks because the food isn't 1/2 bad But an unpleasant place to patronize.

This place is perfect. It's a throwback to the old local diner days when the staff new most of the customers by first name. Both the food and the atmosphere are special. Granted, all I had was the creamed chipped beef over hash browns with a side of scrapple but it was exactly what I was hoping for. I hot steamy pile of chipped beef over crispy hash browns (it's pictured here on Yelp). The servers as well as the manager we're extremely attentive making sure that everything was as expected. The atmosphere is a perfect Old School experience while not looking run down or disheveled. Lot's of wood trim, Leather booths and old style counters and what seems like 100 (exaggerated) employees hustling around working hard to keep all the customers happy. I really hope I can get back here sometime for lunch or something else. It's definitely not fancy, just well operated. Give them a try, if you appreciate Old School dinning, you will Love this place.

I gave 2 stars because the salad was fresh but the place was dirty and the food was not good! I got a pasta trio special and it was sooooo MUSHY, i have no idea what kind of sauce it was but it left grease all over my mouth. Well what i can say is I tried it and i will NOT be back!

I absolutely love their sirloin steak! It is super tasty and is cooked perfectly. I'm not a big fan of home fries so I didn't eat much of that but it wasn't bad. If you're hungry, their portions are HUGE! It is definitely filling. They have a pretty big parking lots so I wouldn't worry about no parking space. All together in total is about $29ish. Not bad considering that I won't be eating for a while after this heavy breakfast. Would definitely come back!

The Liberty Bell Diner on Frankford Avenue, Northeast Philly, is an urban diner. It lacks the stretch stainless and glass look of the Jersey version of pure Americana roadside "stuff and go" restos. Rather, it is more compact and hunkered down in what is now the parking lot of a strip commercial center that has seen better days. The location certainly makes for easy parking, but I am sure the green field that was here first, was more attractive. That doesn't stop it was being a very good representative of the genre. The counter sits to one side just outside the kitchen. The dining room is a nice size with about two dozen tables, white and blue painted walls, dark carpet, and a couple of HDTVs up high. Service is provided by young women and men in black, who are well trained and friendly, with the right amount of tats exposed on their arms. Coffee arrives quickly, and they are patient with newbies scanning their menu and asking questions. Our Blueberry Pancake short stack was fine, if not outstanding. Fresh fruit in the mix was generous. A noticeable shortcoming was the use of Kraft Syrup for the gooey sweetener, rather than something healthier and engaging. It is hard to get passed the heavy dose of corn syrup as its main ingredient. I would gladly pay extra for a small pour of pure maple dark B grade. The Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Kaiser was a crowd pleaser and customizable. It was easy to swap out of a plain breakfast patty, and into a sliced/grilled Hot Italian Porker. It made all the difference in creating an excellent sandwich designed for my taste. The roll was also pleasantly fresh and strong enough to hold its contents to the last bite. The Hash Browns were forgettable. The staff seems to really enjoy the regulars. There was a knot of ladies in black laughing and commenting on the photos one of the customers was sharing with them. Even the owner allowed himself to enjoy the moment. Very cool. Overall, a superior breakfast stop.

Food orders were all wrong not remotely how I asked for the anything. For 70 dollars for 4 platters it could've been right. My wings were extremely soggy smh never again

Chicken Parm sandwich w/ fries. Where was the chicken? Those breaded pieces of chicken were definitely the frozen kind and wafer thin. There were 3 different types of fries in my order, did you just use the bottom of all bags that were running low? What the heck are you doing there? . Why was the bread on the sandwich so dam hard?

My husband and I were looking to try someplace new and noticed Liberty Bell Diner listed on Grub Hub. We were very impressed by their extensive menu and decided to give them a try. We ordered the Golden Chicken Tenders with barbecue sauce, a milkshake with mint chocolate chip/chocolate cookie dough/moose tracks, Texas BBQ Chicken Quesadilla, Oreo Shake, Buffalo Tenders with side of ranch instead of blue cheese, and an order of french fries with Mozzarella. We got two entrees rather than one since we were not sure of their portion sizes. The food was made fast and delivered super quickly. I love that for the milkshakes, you do not have to stick with one flavor. They have multiple different flavors to choose from (besides your standard vanilla/chocolate/strawberry) AND you can choose up to three flavors in one milkshake! Everything was so delicious and the serving sizes are large! I ate half of my food the one night and had the rest the following day for Lunch. We're ordering again right now as we speak cuz we love it so much! Kudos to you, Liberty Bell Diner!!

I stopped in here to eat breakfast after going shopping with my mother in law and my son's gf. Every time I come here to eat I am 100% satisfied.... They have the best breakfast in town I love the pancakes, eggs, and the crispy homefries. The waitress was very pleasant and the owner is on top of his game. I enjoy coming in here and will continue stopping in here for breakfast when in the neighborhood. I do recommend coming to this diner

Despite living in the area for over 20 years - we have never been to the Liberty Bell. Avid breakfast junkies that we are (HE rather than ME) we decided to try it out. We were greeted and seated immediately and the place was full for a Wednesday morning. Tables, booths and a sit and eat bar offers plenty of seating options. well lit and decorated with liberty bells and classic red white and blue theme. Food served properly and hot, no way these plates sat under a heat lamp for more than a second! A sure pick for a cheap eats place - plenty of menu specials coupled with blackboard specials to boot. Got out of there with full bellies for just over 10 for the both of us (not counting tip) The high point I have to say as a tea drinker was the full pot of steaming hot tea in addition to my cup. Tea drinkers are often overlooked as coffee is usually top dog - having the pot and being able to top off and refill my tea was a HUGE plus and greatly appreciated. Stop in to the Liberty Bell, one of the finest diners in the area, you won't be disappointed.

disgusting. I couldn't even eat my food. Don't recommend the spaghetti and meatballs at all!!!

Came here on a whim because it was close, turned out to be a great find!!! Awesome service, genuinely friendly staff, nice, cozy place. The owner, (I think) was walking around working and checking up on staff and customers, really nice guy. Very clean & food was amazing especially for a diner. Huge menu, and food was made quickly!! Exceeded all and any expectations! Definetly telling my family and friends about this little place. If you're hungry for anything and wanna spend less than $20/person for a huge portion of great food, this is the place. Can't say enough good things.

This place still gets 5 stars from me. No matter what I get there, it is always phenomenal. But tonight...tonight's dinner was one for pictures. It was of the specials menu. It's stuffed salmon with shrimp. When I saw this plate come out, it knocked me off of my feet!! The salmon was incredible. This crab meat is always tender and plentiful. The breading is always crispy, and everything is always bursting with flavor. No cocktails or tartar sauce needed, ladies and gentlemen. Those two condiments would be an insult to this dish!! The other entree is my mom's plate. It's veal with raviolis in a creamy Parmesan sauce. She also ordered hers off of the specials menu. It was garlicky and everything you would want Parmesan sauce to be. Neither one of us finished these dishes, and I'm so incredibly happy I get to eat this again tomorrow.

Liberty Bell is the best we order from there all the time, their menu is so extensive you never have to have the same thing twice. Sometimes delivery is a bit of a wait because they're that busy and that popular but it is worth it. Best cheesesteak I have ever had in my life!

Very rude, if zero stars were an available option! Not a place to come for anything if your a person of color. Tried to come here simply for water Ice, my Girlfriend was shoved by a customer leaving out the door, and then being approached by the very same customer as if his shoving her was her fault causing a scene. While walking into the actual diner the greeter at the door was very rude to her, sort of like she came there to start trouble saying " ok that's enough,we don't do that here". Which resulted in us leaving and feeling unwelcomed. I think that it's quite ridiculous that we have to feel this way in 2017 when we come to places to spend our hard earned cash. This was our first time here and we will not be back. I'm not sure if it was because she is African American or visible lesbian.

After driving around random side-streets in Philly for a good 20 minutes and not finding any parking for the brunch places there, we said Eff It and found something on the outskirts of the city. Liberty Bell was on the way and had good reviews (and parking) so that was our choice. We had about a 5-10 minute wait but it went by quickly and we were seated in a good people-watching spot. We got hot coffee and tea and placed our orders pretty quickly. I ended up with a breakfast sandwich with egg whites, bacon, and swiss on an English muffin and a side of home fries. My food was delicious and didn't go straight through me as lots of diner food usually does. It was clean, very busy, and the prices were good. Great stop if you're in the area.

I was in the mood for Belgian waffles and this was the first place that popped up on DoorDash. It was close, had a good rating, and I checked the photos here and the food looked good. Price was steep but I know restaurants have jacked up prices lately over food delivery application fees and staff shortages so I let it slide as long as the food was good. I ordered a Belgian waffle with a side of bacon and home fries along with mozzarella sticks and slice of cherry pie. After seeing the pictures of the waffles on here, I was shocked that it looked exactly like the waffles we make here at the house. Pictures on here have huge waffles with a liberty bell symbol on it but what I got was your run of the mill Belgian waffle. The waffle itself was average, the only real star was the whipped butter it came with which was good. The bacon was good, extra crispy. Home fries were awful. It was shredded hashbrown and I have no idea how they cooked it. There were no brown marks on it, it was yellow and tasted like they microwaved it with oil poured on it. And there's a ton of it and it tastes nasty. The mozzarella sticks are homemade but they're bland with too much breading. The cheese didn't taste like mozzarella but I couldn't tell you what it was. The cherry pie looked good but the crust was terrible. Tough, rubbery, a supermarket pie tastes better than this. I thought this was going to be amazing but it sucked. Just so disappointed.

You really can't ask for much better Diner & Liberty Bell when it comes to breakfast. lunch or dinner. No matter what time of day I come in here.. The service is always great. With the food being so good. I eat hear more for breakfast and always enjoy it. My favorite is the creamed chipped beef and the French toast... But are so many options to choose. I like there coffee. Always hot. And never to week. The owner is always there.. Hes the guy that sits the ppl all the time in the morning for breakfast... It's can get packed... But they always get u seated in no time. This Diner really is ran to perfection... I always tell everyone that they have to give it a try. Atleast once. To know the experience of good food...

It is a diner. A real one. Their breakfast sandwich is on point, their waffles rule, and to quote agent cooper "damn fine cup of coffee"

Liberty Bell is delicious and consistently so. Their prime rib is one of my faves. It's always cooked to perfection and it's sooooooo much food. Their breakfast is always delicious, especially their omelets. Whether I've ordered delivery or gone in person, the food is consistently delicious. They're also open 24/7 which is wonderful. They're usually packed if you go in person but all of the staff there are wonderful.

I was looking for breakfast suggestions through Yelp in the Northeast Philadelphia area and came across THE LIBERTY BELL DINER. The last review caught my attention as they mentioned people of color aren't welcome; so I came Friday for brunch with my husband; we're yellow people Nice spot to stop by for breakfast in Mayfair/ NE. Philly's decor, busy ambiance, food is good lots of it and served fast. Kudos to owner who's also the chef ‍ this Turkish owner has a great personality and shows love for his business and welcomes people of all race and color.
