Ordered their two egg and meat platter, got an extra egg and cheese with it. Also requested their scrapple deep fried (dunno if it normally is, but I put it in the request notes).Also got the cream chipped beef with a side of homefries. The home fries weren't the best, they were dry and brining. But the cream beef was good.Good food, and I had a double yolk in one of my eggs. That was cool.

I've had breakfast Door Dashed to me a few times from New Olympia House and I wolfed the food down so fast there was no time for pictures. The Santa Fe Omelet is my favorite. It's a generous amount of eggs with cheddar cheese, onion, tomato and breakfast sausages mixed in. You get a side of home fries (they were kind of dry) and you can add onions and/or bell peppers. I added the peppers once and they were uncooked. I was expecting them to be fried along with the potatoes but no they were just sprinkled on top as if it were a salad. Also if you are into Scrapple (sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not) they give you a solid hunk of it fried to perfection and it's more than enough to have leftover. Side of bacon is good too.

"You can take the boy out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the boy " Very true. Perhaps this is why I always look forward to exploring Philly neighborhoods for cool places to eat. Today it was The New Olympia House on Castor Avenue that had my time and attention. A corner luncheonette that has been slinging hash for more than half a century, this little piece of Athens is well preserved, with long counter with about 10 spinners, booths behind that, and a large dining room behind the kitchen in this double wide row house neighborhood. The charm and cultural history were all in place, much as it has operated since 1960. I was very happy to have found the joint as I straddled the stool and was approached by the attractive server in black spandex pants.The question at hand was - would the kitchen support the excited first impression, or no? The answer was discovered soon enough. For this breakfast at least, the rude awakening was in the negative - my anticipation was better than the reality this day. My french toast looked golden brown, and the old style syrup dispenser with slip down spring metal opening was way cool. However, the underside chassis had too much char, resulting in a burnt taste that required extra syrup to offset. That taste led me to think that the grill was not cleaned between orders, leaving burnt butter or other lubricant around to stick to the next food sizzling there. It also meant a lack of attention by the short order cook (not chef), and an attempt to hide the dark side from view. The three slices were ample, and had the decision been made to start afresh rather than hope I didn't notice, would have made me a true fan.First impression dashed. The Cecilware drip coffee was fine. I love those old contraptions. Yet, despite all the help behind the counter, no one saw that my small cup was bereft of coffee and needed refilling, until I asked. Hard to understand such inattentiveness when I was the only customer sitting there. Chalk it up to my invisibility, sometimes not the best superpower to practice while dining. Still, I liked New Olympia House enough to regret this happenstance, and wish for a better experience. This could have been one of those true Philadelphia moments that only the city's profound indifference to perfection in the face of amazing potential, created the opportunity to transcend low expectations and truly hit the mark in miraculous laudation. That moment must await a more hopeful day.

New Olympia House is okay. It's nothing special, but also not _awful_. I was disappointed by them getting our order wrong but we were too hungry to wait for them to remake something so we rolled with it. The service was also mediocre.
