The breakfast portions were huge - we each got a frittata and couldn't finish them! Our choices were pretty salty (stay away from the turkey sausage), but the potatoes were fantastic. Also the service was outstanding, better than average for an unpretentious place such as this, which definitely bumped up my overall rating. Just around the corner from the Barnes... More

Loved the food here. We ended up going two days in a row. I loved the Barking chihuahua dish, which I read about in other reviews. The portions are huge. Do call ahead seating because this place usually has a wait.

Quirky, crowded, but worth the wait. Wait staff fun to watch, full of energy. The breakfast is probably the best in town. Mexican flair or French toast you can not go wrong or leave hungry. Great coffee too.

We've been several times for dinner (after visiting the art museum) and have never been disappointed. Large portions, very tasty and memorable meals in a re-modeled diner setting. Not fine dining, but well worth the reasonable price for a more than satisfying meal.

On a visit here last Friday we were seated next to two young families with four dalring little ones. As grandparents, we enjoyed the interaction with the well-behaved kids. Our server was very warm and friendly, not to mention professional. It is a very busy, well-run place. The food is good and plentiful. The real joy of the meal was... More

Called ahead for seating and am still waiting, 45 minutes later to be sat. I would like to thank the hostess staff for letting me know the wait would only be 20 minutes. I would like to thank them also for the poor professionalism as numerous times I witnessed people harassing them and getting seated before my party of 2.... More

This is a bustling place which is always busy but it worth going to for breakfast and lunch in particular! Each selection is delicious and plentiful. Don't count calories while you are at Sabirina's Cafe or you won't enjoy the many options that are open to you!

Sabrinas has a great location near the Barnes and Rodin museums and not that far from the Art Museum. Come with an appetite because the servings a large. I had eggs beni and they were really good. Half the plate had roasted potatoes which where yummy too and against my better judgement I ate quite a few. My companion had... More

We went here on a snowy/rainy Monday morning three weeks ago. My son has friends that live in the neighborhood (Fairmount) and he's been to all 3 of the Sabrina's restaurants. What a great restaurant!! The all-day breakfast menu was full of gourmet versions of familiar breakfast foods including Huevos Rancheros and whole wheat pancakes. My son had the Huevos... More

I was so excited to eat here based on past reviews, what a let-down! We called ahead for a busy Sunday at 1pm and they had a us wait about 30 minutes after we got there but that was ok considering others were waiting 11/2 hours that had not called ahead. The food was all pretty much served cold, eggs... More
