Southern Inn

I came to Simply Good Food for breakfast and got the Calvin Platter, which is basically one of everything. It comes with eggs, one pancake, a piece of fried fish, a salmon cake, a sausage patty, bacon, grits, and home fries. (Hope I didn't leave anything out.) For meat you get a choice of beef or pork; I picked pork but I think I was served beef bacon anyway, which I enjoyed. The fried fish was the standout: it was tender, beautiful and golden brown. I will definitely get fish next time I come. The sausage patty was a little too old and I did not finish it.The service was prompt and friendly. The interior is clean and serviceable. I enjoyed my meal.Total cost was around $12.

The fish...FRESH & PERFECTLY FRIED! Salmon cakes...AHHH.... My husband said they taste just like Peaches (his late mother). Over medium eggs...PERFECT OOZE! Pancakes...I didn't know anyone knew how to make pancakes like these anymore.. The food here is absolutely delicious. My husband is from Raleigh and he said he can't wait to go back for another breakfast. But first he said he's going to try those beans for dinner on the stove cooking when he picked up our breakfast. Lol. They conveniently takeCards, cash app and Zelle.

If you are looking for a plate from 'Big Mama and 'dem from down the way' this is the place for you! If you don't know what that means this is NOT the place for you! So you know Big Mama is getting old and she just can't keep remodeling da house 'cause her drop ceiling and chairs with the plastic slipcovers looks just fine to her. With all that being said she can still cook! So no it's not the tidiest place but the food is good, the people are friendly and the platters are reasonably priced. This is the place that you come and get the familiar breakfast of fried salmon cakes, pancakes, home fries, eggs and grits all for the low price of 10 bucks. Yeah and Big Mama has that one grandchild that doesn't eat pork. Well she has something for them too, turkey and beef products.So after having a good breakfast on a cold day, on my way out I told Big Mama 'I'll be back" cause she had a big pot a Lima beans on the stove and cornbread in the oven.

Southern Inn is a divey diner in southwest Philly; with amazing food. It's charming with an old decor as if you're in a speakeasy. The tables are sticky, check your silverware and keep it simple.I ordered the fried salmon cakes w/ cheese eggs, turkey bacon, and home fries. The salmon cakes are fried crispy with a soft inside seasoned to perfection. The food is cooked with LOVE, as if you were in grandma's kitchen. The service is great for the regulars but not so welcoming to new comers. This is my opinion, others may get a warm welcome. If it weren't for the soulful touch I wouldn't come for the service. My waitress was blunt, facetious, and somewhat arrogant. Stop by and experience the #1 breakfast spot in Philly. My 4 star rating is because of the service.

Breakfast is delicious. I had fish, grits and cheese egg whites. It was so good, it put me to sleep. Lol Worth the money! I also had pancakes from here which was delicious as well. The breakfast sandwich is kind of small so just buy a platter.

I've been coming here for years and I love the breakfast options. They have things like salmon cakes, fried fish, and grits on the menu. The food is consistently great and the service is too.. I would give it 5 stars but the place needs to be remodeled. In all honesty though, the decor doesn't bother me. I'm all about the food.

Always great food. My only complaint is that the potatoes should be cooked fresh. friendly service. Great salmon and eggs and grits.

They got bullshit customer service . i paid for a full order , they talked about they didn't have it , at the end of the day my money went somewhere , and the doordash driver didn't show up for nothing . They didn't even try to do the job .

Been once good vibe and food quite local breakfast spotService is fast and doesn't mess up orders

Best fried Swai on this side of town.... A must try...When ever I'm in southwest and want fresh breakfast this is where you'll find me...
