The breakfast food is good no problem just I like if they had more variety of brunch menu like grits and fish or shrimp but above that it's a good restaurant for breakfast

Ordered through grub hub, food came half an hour past the maximum delivery window. A simple breakfast order took 90 minutes to get to me, and the potatoes were half raw. Delivery timing may not have been the restaurant's fault, but the undercooked food was.Delivery fee is actually $3.99, NOT $0 as posted on yelp

If you love old school urban street corner restaurants, you are going to think you died and went to heaven when you step inside Pete's Clown House, at the corner of Frankfort Avenue and Pike Street, in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. It is a tight squeeze going through the front door and passing along the counter, but I found a spinner right there, and had the exalted pleasure of watching the action of the cooks, assistants and servers, as they danced around each other taking care of the hot steel grill and the crush of phone take out orders, while always finding time to chat with those around them with a quip and a smile. This is definitely a greasy spoon dive, but in the best way possible. If you are entertained by fast hands and flying knives and spatulas, then there is no better theater in the City of Brotherly Love than a orchestra seat in the Clown House. You watch the action up close and personal, as take out orders are written directly on the white bags that will contain the food once cooked. No need for an order pad. And, if close enough to the grill, the occasional spattering of oil or home fries, or spitting bacon, will reach out to touch you gently, and remind you that there is no extra charge for the grease stains on your clothes. That iron is so full of food waiting to be off loaded onto plates or takeout boxes, that its amazing that the kitchen hasn't caught fire in the 66 years it has been slinging hash to the appreciative masses who have been scarfing their incredibly tasty dishes all this time. "Delicious," is the right word for the food produced here. That grill is so well seasoned from decades of eggs, meats, potatoes, peppers and cooking oil, that it might be edible. The prices are cheap enough to be downright ridiculous. My sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on Kaiser roll, with a side of excellent home fries topped with sautéed onions and green peppers, all the hot java I could drink, came to less than $7. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!So, I had an incredible breakfast, a month's worth of local color, and full bore entertainment from the totally engaging staff, non-stop for the half hour or so I was indulging myself. Although a rookie, I felt at home and one of the regulars. I really didn't want to leave, but I finished eating, and the next customer was waiting to take my stool. Pete's Clown House - One of those places that defines what is so special about Philadelphia. Definitely, a must see.

This place is definitely a clown house, very unprofessional and sloppy with their food, they do not believe in proper seasoning.. food taste like garbage. THIS PLACE NEED Gordon Ramsey for a new episode of kitchen nightmares.

Petes in a local corner breakfast joint located in a not so hot area of Philadelphia. The urban facade and the worn interior has seen many come and go and I'm sure could tell stories that could make one laugh and cringe all at the same time. Need to use the restroom - your walking up old stairs to what appears to be a personal living space - you almost feel like you're intruding. Again if these walls could talk it would have to be a best seller.We used to be regulars here for years. So much so that they knew our order as we sat down. We stopped coming as we started to seek out new and different breakfast venues. In need of a quick breakfast this Saturday we decided to drop in again. Still as bustling as it was and the same crew. Home style breakfast specials that fill the belly are plentiful. Fried eggs will almost consistently have a busted yolk however Pete's cooks up probably the greasiest yet tastiest home fries Don't fret if breakfast isn't your thing because I've ordered lunch at 8am on many an occasion. Fear not, this place is easy on the wallet, added note... if your a table of 2 or a group of 7 you will each have your own check - that's just how things are done at Pete's. Parking can be tough but the neighborhood despite its rough exterior is friendly.

I loved coming here. I felt like old times. I love little mom and pop spots like this. Do not change anything. This is AMERICA. I enjoyed my breakfast and the hospitality from Kim. The chipped beef was great and I also loved the bacon and egg sandwich. I even had to get 2 Philly Cheese Steaks to go. My daughter loved it. Thank you.
