Train Stop Restaurant

What can be said that others haven’t. I agree with all other Unilocalers. It’s has a lunch counter with a some booths. The breakfast was very reasonable. The service was a little slow for how crowded (12 patrons) it was on a Sunday around 10AM. I had the slammer 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 1 sausage and hashbrowns and toast all for under $ 7. You really can’t beat the price! Just do not know if they had enough to bring me back. The hashbrowns didn’t have much flavor. It did the trick of feeding my hunger but I do not think that I will be stopping at the Train Stop Again.

2 stars for convenience and price, 0 stars for everything else. I can’t think of anything positive for the food.

Happily the noise level was quite and Fox News was on tv at the bar. Bacon and sausage on my Slammerette order were thin and crispy. Delish. Home fries were fresh as was the well toasted and buttered rye with my order. Will be back when in Secane neighborhood. Good job with inexpensive breakfast fare.

Always busy in here on mornings and weekends and since I lived in the Laurel Manor apartments right across the street, I would just call it in and walk over to pick it up. Everything was always delicious and super inexpensive. The workers were always friendly and VERY accommodating. Great place!

Reviews here have been spot on.
Cash only, divey, hole, counter grill.
We had breakfast here for$ 20.
My wife, me, and my two kids.
That hasn’t been done in delco, ever.
Food was great, egg sandwiches were fantastic, check it out!

This place is the place to go if you want to feel like you are having a good meal at home. It is very vintage but friendly at the same time. The food was delicious. I will definitely be back and the prices are cheap for the quality of food you get.

Lunch Counter /​Hole in the Wall /​Mom and Pop Dinner — take your pick.
This place is what it is and it does it GREAT. Prices — awesome. Well within a budget, or reasonable as heck, depending on your viewpoint.
The point is — this is good food, good prices. Not a lot of airs. If you’re looking for any atmosphere beyond the «no atmosphere» (which is one … if. you know what I mean) than you’ll be disapointed and rank this place fairly low.
If you’re looking for Grub (but NOT greasy spoon. I would not call this a greasy spoon. It would be an insult to both this place AND greasy spoons).
I would call it a «Dive» in the «Diners, Drive-​thru and Dives» type however. Some stuff DOES stand out, if you are wanting to take a chance. I have not been dissatisfied with ANYTHING I’ve tried here. And my family does «take out» from Train stop a fair bit since we’ve discovered it.

Fast, easy and cheap.
I ordered a simple breakfast sandwich, OJ and coffee. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were decent.
The place is small, but clean. Staff is friendly and attentive.
I was in and out and happy. i will be back again!

This place is a total dive. That’s great for a bar but not what you want for a place where you get food. It was a super hot day, and there was no air conditioning whatsoever… the place smelled like geriatric armpit. The service was reluctant, and that’s putting it nicely. The food was just okay. Definitely not a place I’d go out of my way for.

There is no doubt that this place is as basic a lunch counter as it gets in this area. If you wanted to define the term «lunch counter», this is it. It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s basic.
But it’s also pretty good. I stopped in recently for a bacon egg and cheese on a roll, and they made it nice and fresh off the grill. I’ve definitely had better coffee, but I’ve also had worse. It’s your basic diner coffee.
And everyone was friendly. I can’t complain about that. It’s OK in my book for sure.

Its a hole in the wall joint near the train stop. Prices are incredibly cheap and the food they offer is simple. They have a wide menu and weekday specials. This is not a café in the city, so people should expect it as such. If I can get two eggs, two bacon, sausage, home fries, and toast for $ 5, then I know what to expect. The coffee was just OK and if you want something (like water), learn how to get your waitress’s attention. If you want more attention, sit at the bar. The people working there were very polite and it was quite busy for Sunday brunch. It was just an OK experience for me, but I will say the food ran right through me very quickly. My goal was to try a new place in the area and it fulfilled my needs.
FYI if GPS tells you that its located on Secane and Ashland, its totally wrong. Its next to the Liberty gas station near to the regional rail stop. Oh and its cash only.

The outside doesn’t do whats inside justice. If you’re going for looks then its not your place but the food and people are great. My little cousin and I were walking up providence and it was the only place near for cheap. There was a tv with rachel ray on and plenty of news papers across the ‘bar’. The guys behind the counter were very friendly and did a great job keeping a smile on a 5 year olds face, she asked for chocolate chip pancakes and I got the eggs with hf toast and scrapple. Her pancake came over with ears and a butter smile (too bad she doesn’t like butter lol) but the small gesture was cute and I wiped it away easily. My platter was delicious, not too big not too small, my only opinion on that was the scrapple broke apart but I love scrapple so I can be somewhat of a scrapple snob, it tasted fine though. I don’t know about the last review on water but I was quite impressed. Watching it come over I saw there was no ice, which I like in mine, I was about to ask for some but my cousin took a sip and said it tasted so cold like the water fountain. (usually no ice water at a diner is gross tasting) it tasted great like it came from a ice cold water bottle. Then meal was coming towards an end and I looked around for a credit card machine, an couldn’t find one anywhere. That’s all I Had on me! I asked to confirm it and was so embarrassed when I told them and they let us have it on the house !! I apologized profusely and they kept telling me to not worry about it and get them next time. They kept my little cousin giggling and smiling the whole time. Definitely the home cooking place to go !

So, this was a totally bizarre experience. We ALWAYS drive by this place, a kinda dingy-​looking joint in a strip mall, and joke that we should try it. One day we finally did. As the first reviewer said, atmosphere = not great. Booth and table weren’t exactly sparkling, and there was an unidentifiable piece of… something… floating in my water. Needless to say, we were not expecting much.
But. BUT! Then the food came out. And it was really good! We ate breakfast — some sort of platter involving «everything,» which is the only thing the husband usually orders at places like this, and a waffle for me. (It is worth noting that we had to wait a long, long time for my waffle after the hubs got his food.)
It may have been… the best waffle I’ve ever had? Certainly ONE of the best. Very, very thin and crispy — I’ve never had another waffle like it. And of course the husband enjoyed all of his food as well and agreed that it was surprisingly good, considering the context. So props to them for the food, but next time I’m bringing my own water.

For the price, you really can’t beat what you get here. Great service, and delicious breakfast.
Though, Don’t expect much as far as the atmosphere goes– I guess all the work goes into food prep.
