Family owned and operated for over two decades, the Penrose Diner is a local tradition of South Philadelphia. Many of our loyal customers have grown up enjoying our made-from-scratch soups, savory pot pies, and freshly baked cakes. They know us by name — and we know them. Over the years, the secret has gotten out: our food is the real deal. Unlike most diners, where food is often a microwaved afterthought, we make our menu fresh, from scratch, and we source local ingredients whenever we can. We care about food here!
