5 solid stars, but not for the food. Man, the Dew Inn is a legend in my life. I moved to Northern Liberties when I was a lil pup in 1996. Different world back then. Some party or another shortly after moving to the area we started hearing about the Dew Inn - "you gotta check this place out.", "order lineys", etc. Finally headed up there good and messed up at 4am some night. Wow. $2 breakfast, completely gone waitresses and all sorts of weirdos sitting around. It was great! Haven't been there in years. Among my many visits, these things happened: - Waitress gave me a dimebag of pot for free twice without me even mentioning anything about pot or drugs in general. - I was called a high roller. - A dude who said he was a pimp bought me breakfast because he liked my style. - Dusted metalhead looking dude roundhouse kicked some other guy out the door. - Found out that lineys meant onions in your potatoes - Offered sex. - Some guy did push-ups for some reason but I can't remember. I have never been there sober, never gotten ill from the food and have never had anything less than a good experience at the Dew Inn.

Despite being nearly right across the street from where I live and despite the fact that I sometimes like greasy spoon breakfast, I tend to stay away from Dew Inn. It's wonder bread, margarine, and salt to the extreme. Somehow, they screw up french toast. Egg + bread = fail. The appealing part is that it is almost the polar opposite of Honey's. And although Honey's is great and wonderful, the lines nor the prices make it a once in awhile thing. At Dew Inn, you walk in, make your order and eat. Then you pay $3 and leave.

Breakfast sandwiches = hangover cure at pequeno precios.

This isn't really a 3 star joint. But I expected so little, and it's so cheap, that's it's hard to be disappointed with the Dew Inn. The coffee is weak, the food is bland, and this place looks like it hasn't had a cleaning since the 1960s. On the plus side, it's really cheap, like $5 breakfast with coffee and tip cheap. The place has...character. The waitresses are surly, but not overly. Everyone seems to be a regular here. If you want to eat at a classic greasy spoon hole in the wall, the Dew Inn is your spot.

I was too lazy to make food today so I figured id venture down the road a bit and try out a random spot for a cheesesteak. Pretty solid service. I got my cheesesteak very quickly and it was great came with a bag of chips. Waitress was nice enough to give me some creamers and cup of ice so I can turn my hot coffee I brought in to a nice chill ice coffee. Very nice waitress and on top of things unlike some places Ive been where you have to wait awhile until they return to see if you need anything. Unfortunately they didnt take credit (though they have an atm) so I was 50 cents short. But they were cool with it I offered to run to my car so I can grab some quarters but they said dont worry about it. Next time I go here I will double tip to make up for it. Overall I will come back and try some other food out. Only reason im giving a 4 star is because they dont take credit otherwise they are great. Thanks guys keep up the good work!

I came here twice. The food is good and cheap but everything is so old that makes the place look dirty. if they renovate Ill def give them a 5 starts.

Every time I come in here I am greeted by friendly Smiles and warm hellos. the owner Cindy has taken time to remember my name. This to me is greatness of care she is taking with her business.. this is not just a simple place to get a hot meal ... it is a business that strives on the simplicity of customer services with a warm family atmosphere ... Cindy my hat is off to you and I thank you for this amazing place... I am a usual who comes in for a hot breakfast and I 99% of the time get the same meal.... and it is exquisitely prepared....

I passed this place every day on my commute to Temple. Even though it's right on Girard, it's very easy to miss. Dew Inn is a small hole-in-the-wall that feels very cozy. Right away I felt welcome and at home with all the waitresses greeting me with smiling faces. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing! I love my breakfast sandwiches and this place has one of the best breakfast sandwiches ever!

After my favorite breakfast spot went to crap, I had to find a new place and I had been wanting time try Dew Inn for several months. So glad that I did! The food is great and is usually ready lightning fast. The owner Cindy remembers what we order and has our favorite condiments ready for us without having to ask. The staff is always very pleasant and personable. We are now regulars at Dew Inn.

This is the perfect no-frills diner. Sometimes you go out and you want eggs and potatoes and a fancy no libs place with a line around the corner will give you a plate of fancy stuff that costs $15. The Dew Inn is clean, their staff is attentive, and their food is good and reasonably priced.

I am a reluctant regular at a place up the street called Darlings. Reluctant because the food (particularly anything to do with eggs) is mediocre and the prices are high and regular because it is the most convenient sit down breakfast place. I have been here to the Dew Inn before but I am not a regular because those three extra blocks make a huge difference when it comes to getting back to work quickly when I am needed. Now to the meat- The food is good. The kitchen is fast and does a good job of seasoning. The servers are attentive and pleasant. My one gripe is that they don't have any real butter. Lots of diners skimp on the butter and use those disgusting blends but if you ask they at least have the real stuff stashed away somewhere. This place only has the blend and they would ruin my toast with it.

Dew Inn is a no-frills, quick-serve diner. The new owner has kept the prices low, but the quality of service high. Dew Inn is great for breakfast staples, such as eggs, pancakes, waffles, breakfast potatoes, etc. Turkey club sandwich was good too. I'm a regular for breakfast.

Best simple breakfast. Cash only. Honest real deal breakfast, diner style with sassy service:)

This place is a great hole in the wall. Scrapple sticks are a must!! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stats is bc the service isn't great.

Small little place with good food. Staff greeted us right when we walked in and was very friendly. The menu is not really extensive but it doesn't need to be. Everything they made was done just as breakfast was intended to be and delicious. Try the loaded waffle! And their lunch menu was awesome. I suggest the chicken cheesesteak. Gotta try to beat the church crowd on Sundays.

Under new management and WOWWW what a difference. Food is not deep fried anymore or taste the same. Eggs and meat taste cleaner? Turkey sausage and beef hot sausage are awesome. Grits were really good omg. A good amount of butter. Just add salt and pepper. Chipped beef was good but ask for it on the side if you like your toast crunchy and if you like to dip it in the chipped beef. Home fries with green pepper and onions are mm mm delicious. Omelettes are delicious no matter which one you get. When I went there, service was great and the coffee was pretty good, it wasn't as bitter as other places are (which I liked). Place is nice and home-y. Cleaner now. I only took a star off because I don't like Girard and it's hard to find parking. But that's the whole area in Girard Avenue.

This place is perfect for when you want basic staples such as bacon, eggs, pancakes, etc...all at a very reasonable price. This cash only diner has jukebox sectors tableside and waitresses who have been here forever. Great for breakfast or for soaking up the alcohol on a crazy night of drinking....do the Dew!

Alright, update. Since I was so in love with this place, I decided to go back the following weekend, and the impression I got was a little different. First off, second time around we were not asked what kind of juice we would like (maybe we were just lucky the first time) and were served OJ. It's apt to note that the juices were all pre-poured and sitting in the fridge behind the bar. Is this kind of weird? I tend to think so. Reminds me of my grandmother who makes ice cream 'parfaits' with chocolate syrup the day before her big home-cooked meal and stores them uncovered in the freezer, allowing everything to kind of congeal and seep in the ambient flavors of all the other frozen foods before making us eat them with forced smiles. Second, things are served with a SHIT LOAD OF MARGARINE HERE. So if that grosses you out, you should probably be sure to note "NO MARGARINE" when ordering (or maybe call it 'butter'... I'm not sure these people are generally smart enough to understand the difference between the two fatty substances). My stack of pancakes came with about a tablespoon of margarine melting on top of it AND a side of at least two tablespoons of margarine (not sure where they envisioned me slathering it, since everything was already super-saturated with the stuff anyway.) The toast also had so much margarine that I did the "Window to Weight-Gain" and mopped it up with a napkin, which promptly turned into a totally transparent death shroud of sorts. Third, and this might just be a fluke, but this time the jukebox ate my 50¢ AND played a song that I did NOT want to hear. Special note: individual jukeboxes blasting shitty R&B at 9am tend to turn the rest of the dining patrons against you, so careful what you wish for. All in all, I think the place is worthy of three stars, because it's a good place to get a fatty American breakfast at cheap prices.... but emphasis on "fatty". And if you don't believe that excessive use of butter substitutes screws you over for life, just check out the physique of Florence, the waitress who's been there for TWENTY-SIX YEARS, God love her.

If you've been looking for the perfect skeazy diner, congratulations, you've found it. Now go enjoy 2 eggs, a huge portion of perfectly crispy/mushy hash browns, toast, all you can drink coffee, and a shot of orange juice for $4, and don't come wining to me about your stomach ache after.
