I absolutely love this place. I've been here with my fianceé many times and we usually order to take out. The folks who run the place are so nice. Their breakfast sandwiches are to DIE for. My favorite sandwich is the hottie though the other breakfast sandwiches are also incredibly delicious. I'm not sure there's anywhere else in Philly that would beat this place when it comes to the pure art of making a breakfast sandwich. One of my favorite things to do on a weekend morning is to get a breakfast sandwich from Lisa's. The deliciousness of these sandwiches makes my entire weekend.

Love this place! I've been here with my fiancé like 10 times. The breakfast sandwiches are the best. They are simple but delicious and super filling. The best treat for a weekend breakfast. the owners are the ones making and prepping the food and they are very nice. The decor is interesting, lots of fishing decor but you're there for the amazing food, not the decor. Recommend for a great and tasty breakfast sandwich that is reasonably priced. Also helps with hangovers!

Heads Up: This business is Cash Only The owners of Lisa's Kitchen are friendly and tell good stories, for the 10 minutes I was there they managed to make me laugh and keep good conversation. I passed by this place one morning to try it out. I believe I got the Big Country and it definitely held up to its name. Overall, the food and service was good. This is the perfect breakfast for post hangover or for breakfast comfort food.

Simple, classic, and fairly priced. Always a great experience. I really like the steak, egg, and cheese on a long roll

My favorite breakfast sandwich in the whole world. Cash only, call ahead because there's not too much room inside to wait around.

I never understood the appeal.When I moved back to Philly, I used to pass this place on the way to my grandparent's home. I have never been a fan of the 'traditional American breakfast'-as in I find French toast dreadful, runny egg yolks (or any egg dish) disgusting, pancakes boring and omelets a waste of time and calories. In light of that, sitting in a tiny, parlor sized eatery while an unpleasant woman at the grill tersely put together bargain priced sandwiches full of things that repulsed me was not my idea of a stellar way to start a morning. On the rare occasions I stopped in, it was to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese, a cup of tea and to pick up 2 take out bagels for my grandparents. There was nothing ever wrong with the bagels, but a lot wrong with the verbal abuse the male owner would 'humorously' heap on his father in law, who always seemed to be in attendance there as a meek diner. Perhaps one really had to be a serious and chronically hungover aficianado of greasy, runny, overstuffed, carb loaded junk food breakfast sandwiches to give Lisa's Kitchen a five star rating. Clearly I was never part of their target audience.

No nonsense cash only breakfast joint with tasty sandwiches.I ordered the ham egg and cheese topped with hash browns on a long roll. I think its called the Farm Hand.The bread was soft and chewy. It did its job of highlighting the sandwich contents well.Inside lay a generous helping of fresh fried eggs, crispy hash browns, thick slices of country ham, and salty American cheese.This was a massive and delicious sandwich with lots of salt, fat, and flavor. Great for a Saturday breakfast.

This place is a mom and pop place where you truly wish the owners were your parents. The sandwiches are ridiculously good, made fresh in front of you, and all come with a hash brown in your PEC? Phenomenal. The bread is great too and the prices are on point. What more could you ask for? I'm trying to become a regular because it is thaaat good, and the vibes in there were amazing. The owners know everybody who walks in, and they're super friendly and warm. Please visit this place, you won't regret it. Also FYI they're cash only!

Went for breakfast, which is what you will be going there for as well cause of their hours. In short I loved the place. Run by two people who enjoy what they do and are proud of the place. I got the varsity (long roll). Ordered half to eat there and half to go home. The bread/meat/egg/cheese ratios are SPOT ON. I know the picture makes it look like it might be bread heavy but it works. The varsity is a big sandwich so plan accordingly. It's a solid breakfast sandwich spot. I felt good leaving Lisa's kitchen. All sandwiches come with egg, cheese, and that wonderful hash brown. You pretty much play around with the meat choices. I got the scrapple since I am new to Philadelphia. I liked it. I am not sure if everyone will. It's like meat loaf made with pork. The vibes are cool, plus it's one of those places that has sassy quotes on their wall and I am a sucker for those kind of places.

Great breakfast sandwiches in a tiny shop. If you're looking for a meal on a roll at a reasonable price, check this place out. One recommendation is call in your order. First, there's not much room to wait. Second, they go until closing or until they're out of rolls, so you know you'll get your food.
